Junior New System were finalists on the first season.
Audition
Yumbo Dump's audition in Episode 1302 consisted of making various sounds using their bodies, such as the sound of a drop of water falling on the surface of water, the sound of pulling a cork from a bottle of scotch malt whiskey, cries of dolphins, and the sound of a UFO flying. Mel B buzzed the act. Although Mel voted "No", Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell voted "Yes", sending Yumbo Dump to the Judge Cuts.
Judge Cuts
Yumbo Dump's Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1310 consisted of making noises with their bodies, such as: a whale giving birth to a baby calf, an owl crying in a silent forest and fish flapping about on a boat. Mel B buzzed the act, but Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and guest judge Chris Hardwick gave them a standing ovation. Their performance was strong enough for the judges to send them to the Quarterfinals along with Samuel J. Comroe.
Quarterfinals
