Oh man, it's so hard to decide who I would put in the bottom three since I pretty much liked everyone. Maybe I was in a good mood, because that has never happened before. So I'm really curious to find out who America will put in the bottom three.

I thought this was an amazing first set of performances. My bottom three would be:
Asuka & Vitolio - Broadway
Paris & Tony - Hip Hop
Karla & Jonathan - Cha Cha
But that was hard to do. I really don't think the second two were bad just not as amazing as the others. My bottom would definitely be Asuka & Vitolio - Broadway.
My top 3 would be:
Jeanine & Phillip - Hip Hop- MAN that performance was amazing!
Caitlin & Jason - Bollywood- Again just superb!
Randi & Evan - Jazz- My FAVORITE of the night!!!
