Who are 'AGT: All-Stars' superfans?

The absence of home viewers' ability to vote for their favorite competitors distinguished 'AGT: All-Stars' from ordinary seasons of 'America's Got Talent'. In addition to the five Golden Buzzer acts selected by the judges and host, the show used a panel of "Superfans" to determine which acts should go to the finals because it was pre-taped. The producers of the competition also didn't want the final winner to be decided solely by the panel of judges, which included Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel.

In order to represent the viewers at home, these "delegates from all 50 states" were chosen and established and had the power to crown the winner. Though the exact number of these 'superfans' remains a mystery. For the coveted title of 'All-Stars' Avery and Aidan faced off, and superfans hailed Aidan as the winner. Though this decision hasn't gone down well with the show's fans and the viewers have slammed them for their choices.

'Super fans must be deaf and blind!'

'AGT: All-Stars' has come to an end with an epic finale, and the winner has been crowned. But viewers were disappointed with the results, as it left some of their fan favorites eliminated from the top choices. They have taken to Twitter to express their resentment towards superfans and ask why they were given this opportunity. One fan tweeted, "Who suggested a super fan panel? Where did this idea even come from? #AGTAllStars." Another one said, "Superfans you all suck. @LightBalance_ kids should have won. #AGTAllStarsFinale #AGTAllStars #SlavaUkraini." One more comment,"#AGTAllStars b******t!! Super fans, b******t!! DONE WITH AGT!"

Throughout the season, fans have not been very happy with the superfan choices, and tonight they felt that the whole system is rigged. And fans of the show took to social media to voice their thoughts, as one fan said, "These @AGT super fans must be deaf and blind! Can’t have a top 5 without Tom Ball and @Kodileerocks!"
