The first Golden Buzzer in the third episode of 'AGT: Extreme' went to certain Cyndel Flores, who not just shed her fear of heights climbing a slippery 60-foot sway pole, but also did a few acrobatics while on top. The end result was Travis Pastrana slamming the golden buzzer sending her to the finals. The stunt was one of the more intense acts of the evening and came as a welcome respite after Chloe Chambers' surprising go-ahead.

What shocked the audience was when Travis hit the golden buzzer even before Simon Cowell could share his thoughts on the stunt. "#AGT #AGTExtreme #TravisPastrama couldnt say YES to race car driver Chloe cuz he did no homework & had nothing to compare to, but very next gig was Cyndel & her Sway Pole. He had zero clue what was gonna happen, but again having nothing to compare, stole Simon's Golden Buzzer? 👎🏻" one of the tweets read.
