Howard Stern, Mel B, and at least one other judge voted "Yes," sending the duo to the Vegas Round.







Vegas Round[]

Duo Resonance was sorted into the "Acrobat" category in the Vegas Round. The duo's performance in Episode 808 consisted of performing more acro-balance feats, this time on a spinning platform. Its performance was strong enough for the judges to send it to the Quarterfinals in Episode 809.

The pair finished in either fourth or fifth place in America's Vote in Episode 819. In the Judges' Choice, although Heidi Klum voted for it, Howard Stern, Mel B, and Howie Mandel, did not, eliminating Duo Resonance from the competition instead of John Wing.














Wild Card[]

Immediately after its elimination, Duo Resonance was selected by Heidi Klum as her Wild Card pick for the Semifinals.
