Quick Change.

I can't believe Passing Zone beat everyone there! They were funny but they just pushed people around and threw some balls around!!!

I'm voting for a couple of people: Quick Change, George Kelly, and Celtic Spring.

Exactly... What in the world.. Passing Zone??? I'm dissapointed...
Intolerance
Thank Dog Almighty!
Finally an act in the finals that I actually look forward to seeing, instead of having the urge to press fast-forward.

Although 'Passing Zone' was much funnier in the first round.

I voted for the tap dancing guys, I can't remember their name.

Quick Change disappointed me, I've seen them 5 times now, 3 live at basketball game halftime shows, and twice on the show, I felt that they did the same thing every time. Also that girl that shot the bow and arrow with her feet was pretty good.

Sean and John. yeah, they were good. But I am still upset about Passing Zone getting in! They pushed people around and threw some balls which were supposed to be planets I guess? I don't know!!! I'm still trying to figure out how they beat everyone else!

I was just telling my daughter that I could have gotten on the show if all I had to do was push people around. Come on! ANYBODY can push people and throw balls. Juggling is THROWING objects and CATCHING them without dropping them. PUSHING people around is NOT juggling! I don't know which act is worse, Rappin Granny or Passing Zone. I hope that we get 3 new judges next season because these 3 STINK!

Actually what they did is a form of juggling. They had to push the people around in patterns and make shure they don't collide, not as easy as you all think

Passing Zone sucked.
It was a joke, all I have to ask the judges is Why?
I was going to be shocked if it wasn't Lilia or Quick Change, but that was so shocking I can't even say.

I feel you...

PASSING ZONE ROCKED!

Finally I get a chance to argue with people! Yay!
(Because I wasn't the biggest Bianca, At Last, or Taylor Ware fan.)

Think of it this way, they will always bring something new to the show. We're not going to see any repeat stunts.
They have just the right variety and comedy to bring this show out of the gutter.
Redeption from Rapping Granny I say!

I admit that that act must have taken practice, but it's hardly a talent. Talents should be acts that take years to get good at, not something thrown together in the course of a month. Regardless of how difficult we may claim it to be, it still doesn't nearly amount to the talent required for some of the other acts. Which goes along with what people have been saying about how this is an entertainment show, not a talent one. I commend the Desperation thingy for, as someone else whom I'm too lazy to quote put it, exposing this show for what it truly is--an entertainment search.

As a young boy, I used to do the same thing Passing Zone did. My friends and I would dangle from rings at the playground and swing in different patterns to avoid colliding into each other. Passing Zone added the tossing of balls, but I thought I saw at least one of them drop it. The bottom line is that I don't think Passing Zone's act tonight is original or possesses much degree of difficulty.

Ball was dropped, intentionally, as they were putting the balls off to the side. Their time was up.

The routine required timing and precision to make it look right.

And, FWIW, this is what the producers want, since all of the finalists will appear in a variety show in Vegas, with the winner being the headline act of the show.

Why is everyone being so hard on these people? I thought they did well. It was something unique, instead of just juggling balls, or fire. The reason they got through is that there was no one who stood out from the crowd last night. I think they made a good choice.
iheartjugglers
We know Passing Zone's thing last night was more amusement than sheer talent. They were entertaining as **** though, quick on the draw in terms of wit, and clever enough. In case y'all didn't know, this show is a money-making machine, and I think in those terms the judges made a good choice. (Plus they're killer jugglers and pretty cool guys generally)

That said, I totally voted for Dave Smith (the yoga guitar/Masochism Tango guy - onemansideshow.com). And I'd totally date him too.
Mental Sodomy
Yeah, Dave Smith is a hottie. I would totally let him bring glass and pain on our date. lol

It quickly became really obvious that the judges didn't care in the least bit for normal juggling or any sort of skilled/technical based juggling, so do you really blame them for doing something original in fun? The show is clearly about entertainment, *not* technical skills, and the passing zone succesfully worked with that formula.

Seriously, look through all the semi and final competitors... how many of them are best in class for their act, or even close? NONE OF THEM. And if you think someone is, you need a reality check, because they are not.

Thanks that's what I wanted to say. the judges would not have given them a second glance if they had juggles, even if they passed 13 clubs, casue as the jugglers learned, the judges don't care about juggling at all, or even talent. they want to be entertained. This show has never been about talent it's sheer entertainment. The name throws you people off too much, but get over it.
