I wouldn't underestimate Uzeyer. He had a viral audition (2.5 million views) and he has more up his sleeve (Cyr wheel, juggling). You have a point though that 3 Shades and Myq are probably more marketable. In a weak week like Week 3, DM Nation would do well. I just feel like we've seen the best of what they have to offer and they don't seem that relatable. Damone Rippy at least has the teen girl vote. Next week is hard to predict. I think Week 1 was the week of half fan favorites and half fodder, Week 2 will be the standout acts but not many fan favorites, and Week 3 is full of fodder.

Stray observations:


 * Week 1 has four Golden Buzzer acts (interestingly, all made the top 5 that week), Week 2 also has four GB acts, and Week 3 strangely has zero. Weird lineup choices from the producers.


 * The Top 5 were all male this week. Comedy and variety ruled with all three comedy acts making it and four of the top five being non-singers.


 * Samantha's sixth place status despite a prime performance spot highlights that the AGT casual fans are still mostly singer-averse.


 * Triple Threat would have sailed through this week if they actually performed well (especially over fodder Alondra). It was obvious the AGT producers ruined their appeal. They could be a cool Wild Card though if they go back into what made their audition great (i.e. NO backup singers and dancers).
