So I know I already reviewed the finalists, but I will again because my opinions have shifted. (No particular order.)

Jon Dorenbos: It was such a step up from the Preliminaries, only because of the last part where the judges' choices in that episode matched up with Jon's acts from Season 11. It was also sort of nostalgic to see the clips, but that's me being weird.

Shin Lim: Although it was similar to another of his acts, I thought it was much better. Also, it just felt really... I don't know, it felt good. Also, it was fun to see Howie get disgusted. Howie also did give a standing ovation when he got back to his seat, so... it was another episode where all the judges stood up for all the acts.

Angelica Hale: As much as I love Angelica, I felt like this performance was super short. I mean, there were 12 acts performing, but still. I loved the act though, but I liked her other performances way more.

Kechi: I actually think this was such an improvement, but that's all I have to say.

Cristina Ramos: She wasn't AMAZING, but she was more than good. So,,, not in my eyes able to win, but deserved to be in the Finals.

Brian Justin Crum: Man, this was probably the performance that made me a fanatic of Brian. I never was rooting for him to win until his performance. I loved the song choice too.

Kseniya Simonova: It took me a while (stupidly) to figure out what the story was based on, but I loved it so dearly. It is my favorite act of Got Talent. Well, actually, maybe I'm overthinking the story. I'm not going to say what I thought the sand art was based on, but I think it might be based on a certain event. However, nobody else seems to. (This sounds awkward now...)

Susan Boyle: It seemed as if she was underconfident, and some of the parts seemed empty.

Preacher Lawson: It was a crazy act. It was just... I don't know, but I liked it.

Paul Potts: Apart from this being an obvious song choice, the performance was amazing. Also, I was a bit touched when he mentioned Neal E. Boyd.

Darci Lynne: Of course they brought back the little angel. But I actually really liked it, much better than the Preliminaries. I love Petunia, and I was pleasantly shocked when she said Italian opera and actually did it... I thought it was a joke!

Deadly Games: Perfect, don't think stands much of a chance though.

My Predictions:

Bottom 6:

Preacher Lawson

Deadly Games

Kechi

Paul Potts

Jon

Cristina

Top 6:

6th Place:  Brian

5th Place: Angelica

4th Place: Susan

3rd Place: Kseniya

2nd Place: Shin

1st Place: Darci

5th and 4th are interchangeable. Also, right before the Finale, I'm going to give my FINAL predictions based on... everything the acts have done.
