Episode 1105:

Ryan Beard, Comedy Singer/Pianist Kadan Bart Rockett, Magician Patrick and Ginger, Dog Act The Gloryland Pastors Choir - Seemed pretty standard from what we saw. Absolute fodder...

Raii and Whitney Smith - I wasn't very impressed. Yet, a part of me is predicting that they will get a Golden Buzzer (like The CraigLewis Band) given all the singer guest judges.

Quatuor Stomp - We did not see their best stuff (they actually stood on each other's heads!), so I think they are probably goners.

ThroWings - A really strong aerialist/acrobat display. I hope they can step it up.

Dan Meyer - He's probably given my favorite performance of the season so far! I'm a big fan of him from Season 3, and he even has an account on this site! I hope he can make it far, but I fear America does not have the stomach for that much danger.

Southern Dance Academy - Good, but forgettable.

Bob and Trish - Very, very strong! I thought they were phenomenal, but given their montage and The Passing Zone coming up, I think they're gone.

Brennley Brown - Yawn... She's good, but we have seen a lot like her. Given that Kadie Lynn actually got screentime, I'm willing to bet Brennley will be out soon.

Sofie Dossi - I actually believe she can shake up this competition. Lilia Stepanova pulled the same contortion archer act back in Season 1, and she should have made it further. 10 years later, I think an act like this could make it far. Add to that the fact that Sofie has more in her sleeve (aerialist act) and the "kid" factor, and she could be a dark horse.

The Brat Pack, Jumpers in Command - Good but uninteresting from the little we saw.

Christopher - A fun act, but I don't know how far he can make it unless he portrays some very clever storylines with his puppets.

Brian Justin Crum - I was pretty underwhelmed honestly. Maybe it's because Jordan Smith's STL performance on The Voice was so much better. Maybe he'll make it to the Top 10 and pull a Branden James, but I don't see him as a contender. That's the thing with singers; more often than not, we know exactly what to expect. There is not as much of a potential to surprise or impress.
