Shortly after the live elimination, the former SUR bartender took to Instagram to address the AGT loss and judge Simon Cowell’s harsh critique. He posted a video of himself and his family sitting at a restaurant as he mimicked the sound of the AGT buzzer, which the judges push when they’re displeased or unimpressed by a performance.

Tom Sandoval and his band, Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, gave their final performance on America’s Got Talent (AGT) last weekend. It was the Quarterfinals week, where they lost their place in the competition to comedian Shuler King.

Sandoval famously landed in hot water in 2023 when he was outed for cheating on his VPR co-star and longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with their fellow co-star Raquel Leviss. The show returned for one more season to unpack the cheating scandal, but Bravo announced Vanderpump Rules will return in Season 12 with an entirely new cast.
