The first episode from auditions had a 21.8 rating, compared to 18 points for the similar episode of the first season.

The show was won by mentalist Cristian Gog, with robot-dancer Mihai Petraiche second and speed-cubbing Cristian Leana on the third place.

Auditions

The auditions were extended to six cities. Constanţa, Timișoara, Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca were kept, and Iaşi and Craiova were added. The auditions took place between August and September 2011.^[1]

The first episode was broadcast on 17 February and it was again a big hit for ProTV. They decided to air seven auditions episodes, instead of six for the first season. Also, the number of contestants qualified for the semifinals was extended from 48 to 60. There were five semifinals, three acts from each semifinal qualified for the final, two voted via phone or sms and the third voted by the jurors.
