Signs former ‘attention bandit’ Heidi Klum has been eclipsed by ‘power-grabbing’ Sofia Vergara on America’s Got Talent
SOFIA Vergara's performance as Netflix's Griselda has seen her amass plenty of recognition in Hollywood.
According to a body language expert, the AGT judge's days in reality TV could be numbered since she's been seen "punching down on" and "demoting" Heidi Klum on the entertainment show.
Simon Cowell, 64, bowed to the audience while Sofia Vergara, 52, blew a kiss and winked.
Next up was the German supermodel, who stuck out her tongue. Howie Mandel, 68, was barely visible at the end.
Body language expert claimed Hot Pursuit actress Sofia was the "show-stopper."
“Sofia’s flirty expression made her the guaranteed show-stopper," she told The U.S. Sun.
"She sat straight at the desk with her arms splayed out confidently.
“Heidi only had a brief moment in this promo clip.
“Her tongue poke and peace sign were copied from Miley Cyrus and were not Heidi’s usual attention-seeking rituals."
According to James, Sofia is the dominant judge in season 19.
“Sofia has tried to grab power this season already," she said.
This was the second time for the star and for the Japanese comedy act Schumacher.
PULL AWAY
“Sofia’s showed beaming authority once she pressed the buzzer," added James.
“I love painting; I’ve loved designing my whole life or coming up with crazy costume ideas for Halloween. I’ve always loved being a creative person. And for me, music was always part of that," Heidi added.
SHAKE IT OFF
James noticed Heidi was left out in one clip when another act, Forest of Haunts, approached the judging table.
“Heidi leaned back out of it all at one point,” she said.
“It was as though she was fully embracing her more subdued look.
"It was Sofia who the camera went to for the reaction shots.
"She screamed and writhed, but all we see from Heidi was an expressionless shaking of the head."
Heidi and Sofia also share widely different personal lives.
Sofia divorced actor Joe Manganiello after nine years of marriage and is mom to Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, 32.
Heidi is married to Tom Kautlitz.
Sofia is all about her new heavyweight acting career.

She divorced pop star Seal in 2014, with whom she shares Leni, 20, Henry, 18, Johan, 17, and Lou, 14,
A clip showing the two women’s holiday plans exposed the contrast when they discussed their favorite summer days.
GUARDS UP
“Sofia’s energy looked lowered here and less passionate with her eyelids heavy," added James.
“Her recent divorce might have made her more guarded about her personal life.
“She sounded unemotional, and her hand showed a dismissive-looking twist at the end.
"Sofia is all about her new heavyweight acting career.
“Heidi talked about her husband with a wide smile, suggesting authentic fondness or love.

“Even when she described the floaties in the pool, we can see genuine anticipation about being at home with her family.
"This was very different to Sofia's cold response.”
