Vegas Round[]
Ms. Donna was one of the Judges' Favorites in the Vegas Round. She was sorted into the "Danger Acts" category. Her performance in Episode 511 consisted of again twirling Samoan fire knives. At one point in Ms. Donna's performance, she failed to catch a knife that she threw up. Her performance was not strong enough for the judges to send her to the Quarterfinals, eliminating her from the competition along with Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show.
