Episode 1:

Nathan Bockstahler - He got through because the judges found him cute. I don't mind kids doing things when they're as talented as the adults, but I don't find Nathan's jokes that creative. He will probably make it to the Semis though...

José & Carrie - Fodder. If we don't get a lot of animal acts this year, he will make it to the live shows. He seems like a one-trick pony.

The Clairvoyants - A very solid trick. I wouldn't be surprised if they make it far like Oz did last year.

Linkin' Bridge - A great backstory and great talent!

Trio Grace - Nothing we haven't seen before. They don't have enough members to awe us like AcroArmy did.

Hara - His magic tricks were pretty standard and the special effects were cool. I don't know if magic works as well with these effects as dancing does because precision is not as important. I think he can make it to Semi's, but I don't know what else he has in him.

Charles and Rose - This year's Big Barry / Juan Carlos.

Tape Face - Really clever stuff. He has really smart comedic timing, and novelty will get him far. He has already gone viral on YouTube!

Ryan Stock and AmberLynn - One of the best sideshow duos we have ever seen, but America just doesn't like these kinds of acts.

Noelle Bean - We saw very little of her. She will most likely be fodder.

Laura Bretan - She will make it one or two rounds in the lie shows. I see her placing closer to Arielle from last year than almost winning like Jackie did.
