Who's ready for the Go Big Show semi-finals? The series has been pitting extraordinary talents against each other for weeks now, and it's all come down to this. The acts that remain include an extreme scooterist, a strong man and [checks notes] something called "musical bullets"? 

If all of that sounds insane to you, that's exactly what the Go Big Show is selling. The series premiere featured a flame dancer and a man who picked judge Rosario Dawson up by hooking her up to his piercings. It hasn't dialed back on its extreme nature yet, and why should it? The series — judged by Snoop Dogg, Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Nettles and Cody Rhodes — promised that it would go big. The episodes haven't stopped one-upping each other yet, and the trailer for the semi-final round looks to be a pretty solid indication that the craziest showcases are yet to come! 

The semi-final round will start Thursday, February 18 at 9PM EST. Take a look at the six competitors heading into the competition: 

  • Krystal Kurio (Sideshow Act)
  • Dejion Taylor (Extreme Scooter Act)
  • Tulga (Strongman Act)
  • Reckless Ben (Slackline Act)
  • Ben Blaque (Crossbow Act)
  • Chris Cheng (Musical Bullets Act)
