"Not feeling this": AGT fans upset as network airs a filler episode in between the auditions, reveals Simon's top 16 performances

AGT is getting more intense by the day as talented contestants keep on impressing the judges with their mind-blowing skills within 90 seconds. However, fans were in for a disappointment when they logged in to watch the show this Tuesday, July 25.

This is because, instead of airing a new episode of auditions, the NBC network decided to air judge Simon Cowell's favorite auditions from the series and from Britain's Got Talent.

Simon has been judging Britain’s Got Talent since 2007 and AGT since season 11. In the recent episode, Cowell had to pick his top 15 “water cooler moments” from the auditions of both shows, but he only managed to narrow it down to 16.

I do think actually just about every one of these auditions we’re going to watch tonight, they were all water cooler moments for different reasons," he added.

Fans, however, were not interested in this filler episode as they just wanted to see the ongoing season 18. Many slammed the network for airing a filler amidst audition rounds.
