Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and David Hasselhoff all voted "Yes", sending the group to the Vegas Round.
Season 3 Vegas Round
Russian Bar Trio was sorted into the "Extreme Performers" category in the Vegas Round. Its performance in Episode 308 consisted of more Russian Bar, this time with additional flips in the air. The trio's audition was strong enough for the judges to include it in the Top 60 shortlist and to later send it to the Top 40 Quarterfinals in Episode 309.

Because the trio sustained an injury during a rehearsal, the Russian Bar Trio was forced to withdraw from the competition. Donald Braswell II would take their place and eventually make it to the Finals.

Russian Bar Trio returned in Season 11, recovered from any injuries. The group's audition in Episode 1103 consisted of two of the trio carrying the 30-feet long, 4-inch wide Russian Bar while the third of the trio performed acrobatic flips in the air and landed on the bar. Tricks involved Christine weeding through hoops and flipping multiple times in the air. Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell all voted "Yes," sending the trio to the Judge Cuts.
Season 11 Judge Cuts
Russian Bar Trio did not perform in the Judge Cuts round, meaning they either withdrew or were cut by the judges before this stage of the competition.
