Jonathan Rinny

Background

Jonathan Rinny has been performing since the age of 5. He began clowning as a child in a family-owned circus in Argentina, established by his grandparents. He then spent his teenage performance career as part of his family's troupe entertaining in Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, and the majority of South America.

Audition

Jonathan Rinny's audition in Episode 1206 consisted of first balancing on top of 4 skateboards stacked on a hollow cylinder. Next, he built an unstable stack of three hollow cylinders on a swinging platform, climbed that stack, and then balanced on top of that stack (Rola-Bola). Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell all voted "Yes", sending Jonathan to the Judge Cuts.


Judge Cuts

Jonathan Rinny's Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1209 consisted of building an unstable stack of five hollow cylinders on a platform, climbing that stack, and then balancing on top of that stack as the platform was mechanically raised.

Jonathan's performance was not strong enough for the judges to send him to the Quarterfinals, eliminating him from the competition along with Bello Nock, instead of Billy & Emily England.
