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.

Stay tuned!

    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!!!
