Simon Cowell’s “Fantasy League” is turning out to be a nightmare following the premiere of the “America’s Got Talent” spinoff. As the judges, including Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Mel B, assemble all-star teams, tensions run high as the competition heats up.
One contestant, Hans, returned to the stage with a vivacious musical number that charmed Mel B but left Cowell unimpressed. Despite his cheeky shoutout to Cowell and playful antics, Cowell wasn’t a fan of the performance and didn’t hold back with his criticism.
Things took a turn for the worse when Cowell poked fun at Mel B’s girl-group past, leading her to splash him with a drink in retaliation. The tension between the judges continued to rise as Team Howie’s contestant, Shadow Ace, enlisted Mandel to help with his shadow puppet act.
Mel B got her own back, stealing a contestant from Cowell with her Golden Buzzer, which left Cowell feeling “dumped” and disappointed.
In the end, only five out of 10 contestants made it to the semifinals, with a few surprise victories and unexpected losses, leaving the judges and audience reeling.
The dynamic between the judges will certainly make for an interesting season of “AGT: Fantasy League,” full of twists, turns, and high stakes as they compete to guide their acts to victory.
