It was in the autumn of 2017, very shortly after the finale of AGT’s polarizing twelfth season, that I started something called “Fantasy Judge Verdicts”, a project with the rest of the AGT wiki community—a way to put aside our differences and bring us together. Since then, fantasy seasons have become a common part of this community, especially with JayGT, but I feel like it’s about time I get on that fantasy season wheelhouse again, with no gimmicks this time. And what better time to do it then when a season has only recently started?
This’ll be the exact same format as the previous seasons I hosted. Four judges, four guests judges, and real-time voting from the people who want to during the live shows. The new thing to consider is that this season will progress as the real-life season does—my hope is to have it completed around the time the actual finale comes around, but y’know.
In terms of judging selection, it’s anyone’s game. This season’s judges aren’t going to be based on first come, first serve, but rather based on who’s interested, and then picking a panel I think will be balanced/diverse enough to keep things fresh. As long as you’re active and not a douche, you can probably be a judge. And if you’re not a judge or guest judge, you can still vote come the live shows!
Also, two things about judging:
- If you’re a part of JayGT and you’re part of the panel for that version of S14, do not feel pressured to pick between the two seasons or even to do mine! If you wanna do mine I’m totally welcome for that but my intention isn’t to compete with it.
- Any potentially rocky relationships I’ve had with certain users here will be put behind me in the case that they’re a judge. Like I said, as long as they remain respectful I will have no issues with their presence here.
That’s all! If you wanna judge, hit me up!
