Vegas Round
Turf was one of the Standby Acts in the Vegas Round. He was sorted into the "Solo Dancers" category. His audition consisted of dancing to Lil Wayne's "I Am Not a Human Being" with contortionist moves. His audition was strong enough for the judges to send him to the Quarterfinals.



Quarterfinals
Turf's Quarterfinals performance consisted of dancing and contorting his body to "Imma Be." He received enough votes to be sent to the Semifinals along with Tim Hockenberry.
