About Last Night…AMERICA’S GOT TALENT: THE CHAMPIONS and PRODIGAL SON

Let’s talk about Monday night’s TV!

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT: THE CHAMPIONS: Strauss Serpent’s routine will haunt me. Goodness, yikes, nope.

I do like the idea of this show, but the format remains frustrating. Containing the vote to the superfans may be “needed,” but it also leads to some really baffling choices. (The judges didn’t help matters by picking the child comic over two adults who were significantly more ready for the moment.) And there were a number of really lackluster acts this week. It feels like an unfair advantage to compete in a week where the other acts are noticeably weaker.

I don’t think they could even overhaul things to make it more fair, but right now it feels like the most difficult part of the show’s formatting.

PRODIGAL SON: While I’m kind of bummed we didn’t see the immediate aftermath of Malcolm’s recovery, I loved the format and manipulation of the episode. Frankly, it absolutely would make sense IA would have a lot of interest in Malcolm’s involvement in, well, everything.

Malcolm lashing out at Gil was a bit heartbreaking, though. Certainly this is feeding into Malcolm’s issues, but it’s not like he was a beacon of health prior to starting the gig. I’m glad the two made up by the end of the episode, though, with Gil pointing out that Malcolm knows he’s not okay.
