Mike E. Winfield
The Maryland comedian is the dark horse of the season by virtue of the fact that comedians tend to underperform in the show. But his quick wit and likable personality quickly got the judges and voters on his side, and his ability to have his audience let their guard down made him a finalist.
Kristy Sellars
The Australian made Simon worried when she first mentioned that her act was a pole-dancing routine, but through a combination of incredible stage work, jaw-dropping animations, and sheer athleticism, Kristy delivered two of the season's most memorable performances, earning her spot in the endgame.
