Last Night's TV: Extant, America's Got Talent and More (SPOILERS!)

VIEW IN BROWSER THIS ISSUE: Extant, America's Got Talent, Big Brother, MasterChef, You're the Worst TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT Extant Finale Makes a Bid for Season 3 CBS BECAUSE: Season 2 of the much improved Extant concluded Wednesday night in a two-hour event, and you probably still don't know anything more about that show than "Halle Berry." Here are a few other things to entice you for the yet to be determined -- but definitely hinted at -- season 3: Robots. Aliens. Actual evil twins. Magic amulets. Magic blood. Jeffrey. Dean. Morgan. READ OUR RECAP America's Got Talent NBC WHAT HAPPENED: And then there were five. In her recap of the semi-finals results show, EW recapper Lincee Ray aptly sums up the entire AGT experience in a sentence or two: "Piff easily wins this round and the man in a dragon outfit hugs the 13-year-old goodbye. It's a crazy world we live in." Okay, okay—one more: "How can a sultry crooner ever compete with a man who barfs up million dollar jewelry on command? She can't." That's all to say that it's Piff the Magic Dragon and Stevie Starr the Profession Regurgitator, along with Paul Zerdin the ventriloquist, Uzeyer Novruzov the ladder climber and Gary Vider the comedian who are through to the finals. A fond farewell to the rest. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: There's nothing like a Dunkin' Save (side note: What is a Dunkin' Save?) to bring America one step closer to watching a man fall to his death on national television. Nah, just kidding, Uzeyer Novruzov will probably be fine, but Hollywood Life is assuming that the ladder climber/faller earned his spot in the finals because "the viewers felt so bad for him after [Tuesday night's] tragic fall." We're more miffed that the semi-final results saw the dismissal of every single musical act and every single female… and on the very night that former singing show winner, girl group Little Mix, graced the stage with a glimpse of what could have been for Wednesday's rejected acts—it's a cruel, cruel AGT world. READ OUR RECAP Big Brother CBS WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: Love her or hate her—it's probably more of a "tolerate and marvel at her" situation—Vanessa and her diabolical social abilities were made for the Big Brother house. EW recapper Marc Snetiker has a theory: "Save for any other explanation, Vanessa is a cunning witch with an incredible gift of mage-like manipulation." Sorcerous assist or not, V managed to convince the Austwins—we'll have to rethink that name—that Austin has been playing them the whole time by orchestrating his highjacking of the veto competition. And though Liz and Austin ultimately make up and live to disgust us with their cuddles another day, the seeds of dissent have been sown: Austin uses the veto on himself and the ultimate battle of twin vs. twin is set up. WHAT HAPPENED: EW commenters have run the gamut of responses to Vanessa—from disgust to awe, annoyance to admiration—throughout the season, but Big Brother Network found this particular masterclass in Tears n' Manipulation more hilarious than anything else. Their response to Vanessa convincing Julia to challenge Austin in the veto comp: "HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA." The HAs have it (and so does Vanessa… for now). READ OUR RECAP MasterChef FOX WHAT HAPPENED: Season 9 is down to its final four, and you know what even numbers mean: teams. Frenemies Derrick and Stephen face off against for-real-friends Nick and Claudia in a challenge to create the perfect appetizer and entrée using boxes of the judges' favorite ingredients—Gordon and Graham's now; Christina's (dreaded) guaranteed-to-be-dessert box later. And though a few misplaced pomegranate seeds nearly derail Derrick and Stephen, it's Nick and Claudia who are sent to the pressure test to replicate Christina's most difficult dessert: her chocolate malted layer cake. Alas, cake being too sweet is apparently a thing, and the truly right-amount-of-sweet Nick is sent packing. EW recapper Keertana Sastry wonders, "Are these eliminations feeling more and more heartbreaking to anyone else lately?" WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: That would be a yes! Most viewers with a careful eye for season-long editing could have predicted it would likely come down to Nick or Claudia on Wednesday night, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt. Professionally fantastic tweeter Anna Kendrick was particularly torn up about the bottom 2, tweeting, "I don't want either of these guys to leave! I'm legit crying. Yes I've had a few drinks BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT." MasterChef responded with a gif of Christina's famous malted cake as penance for the emotion-inducing elimination, but they might want to grab some dry ice, packing tape, and the real thing if they really want to win Kendrick back. READ OUR RECAP One More Thing... The Worstie Rankings FX WHO'S THE WORST?: Season 2 of FX's underappreciated You're the Worst premiered Wednesday night and EW broke down who exactly is the worst. Jimmy and Gretchen give her a run for her money with their drug-infused Google-car theft (and refusal of Edgar's well-intended "breakfast lasagna"), but the top prize must go to Lindsay, who, in one 30-minute premiere, beds the husband from whom she's separated, tells him they should go through with the divorce then remarry for the wedding presents, and freezes his sperm to use later—presumably in the name of baby presents.
