Americas Got Talentis a very popular show on NBC. Millions of different acts are able to try out all over the world. Acts on the show vary from dancers to singers to motocross to blowing fire. Also the people’s backgrounds vary. For example some may have been very privileged, where on the other hand some had many hardships in life that they had to move on from. One act, or group, will win the final prize of one million dollars and a show as a headliner in the Los Vegas Strip. Viewers watching can text or go online to vote for their favorite act in attempt to move them on to the next show, on Tuesdays. Acts will be eliminated if they have the lowest amount of votes, they are anounced that they are eliminated on the results show, Wednesday. The three judges to critique all the acts are: Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel and Piers Morgan.
There is a limited amount of people that can go on to each show. Some must be eliminated each week. There is a scarcity of how many people can make it on to the next show and win the final prize. Everyone wants a million dollars and a show in Vegas, but only one act can have it. The viewers and judges decide who they like more. If they vote for one act, they may be sending another good group home. All of the viewers think about all of the tradeoffs before they vote, because they could be potentially sending someone home. The winner is found very reasonably. Since America votes it isn’t just one persons opinion. Equality is shown because all of the competitors have the same equal chance as anyone else who tries out.
