'Tom Sandoval Seeks Redemption on "America's Got Talent"'

America's Got Talent Season 20 continued Tuesday night with the fifth two-hour edition of its auditions episodes featuring Vanderpump Rules and The Traitors alum Tom Sandoval , a third-grade rapper, a family band, the first ever "half yes" vote from a judge, and a Guinness World Records attempt at the "longest duration of hula hooping around the bum."

This season's competition follows the same format that AGT fans are used to. In the auditions phase, an act needs at least three "yes" votes from the judges to advance. If a judge or Terry Crews believes an act is exceptional they can hit the Golden Buzzer to award them an automatic bid to the final rounds.

In Episode 1 , Simon Cowell gave immersive artists Light Wire his Golden Buzzer and Howie Mandel gave musician Jourdan Blue his. In Episode 2 , Mel B snuck in a press of the Golden Buzzer for the Messoudi Brothers ahead of Sofia Vergara who also wanted to hit it for them. In Episode 3 , Mel went all-in in a second time with a  Golden Buzzer push for vocalist Charity Lockhart . In Episode 4 , Terry stepped up to the dais to award t he Funkateers with his Golden Buzzer.
