Host Nick Cannon announced that Innovative Force would be advancing to the Top 12. Tone the Chiefrocca and Red Panda were eliminated from the competition. Judge Heidi Klum said she was proud of Innovative Force and couldn't wait to see what they would do next.

Acrobats Duo Resonance, opera singer Jonathan Allen and opera trio Forte were called forward next. Cannon revealed that Forte would be advancing to the Top 12. Duo Resonance and Allen were eliminated from the competition. Judge Howie Mandel said that Forte would likely win the competition.

Comedian Angela Hoover, comedian Taylor Williamson and magician Collins Key were called forward next. Cannon announced that Key had advanced to the Top 12. Judge Mel B said that Key was very talented and deserved to go through. Cannon revealed that Williamson was advancing to the Top 12 as well. Judge Howard Stern said that America was discovering a big talent in Williamson.

The final three acts were called forward to hear their results: singer Dave Fenley, shadow theater group Catapult Entertainment and singer Cami Bradley. Cannon revealed that Bradley was advancing to the Top 12.

Before the judge's vote, Stern revealed that his wildcard pick would be Illusionist Leon Etienne & Romy Low. The duo will perform in next week's live semifinal show.

Catapult Entertainment and Fenley were revealed to be either sixth or seventh from America's vote. The judges had to decide which act to send through to the top 12. Mel B voted to send Fenley through to the top 12 while Klum, Mandel and Stern voted to send Catapult Entertainment through.
