All 11 of the acts who performed on Tuesday — Amoukanama, Amazing Veranica and Her Incredible Friends, Ava Swiss, Ben Lapidus, Lace Larrabee, Drake Milligan, Oleksandr Yenivatov, Players Choir, Stefanny and Yeremy, Don McMillan, and Avery Dixon — were all now on the chopping block, knowing that only a small percentage would survive the night.

Wednesday's episode also welcomed back Dustin Tavella, last season's AGT winner, for a special performance.

In the end, only two acts were chosen to continue to the next round. As always, you can click here to see all of the acts remaining in the competition.

Read on to see how the 11 acts fared, including which became the first acts eliminated from Season 17. You can also replay their performances from Tuesday's episode to refresh your memory. When you're done, drop a comment with your thoughts on Wednesday's results below.

Meghan Trainor's "Better When I'm Dancin" served as the backdrop for these old dogs' new tricks.

Amoukanama's gravity defying acrobatics were on full display Tuesday, with a routine set to "Zapata" by Lil Saako Instinct Killers.

Swiss stunned the audience (and the viewers at home) with a powerful take on P!nk's "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken."

Terry Crews' Golden Buzzer pick worked his saxophone magic on Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground."

Hopes were not high for Lapidus, whose edgier take on his beloved "Parmesan Cheese Song" earned him three of the judges' buzzers on Tuesday. Only Heidi Klum truly understands him, apparently.

The stand-up comedian had the audience nodding in agreement as he ranted about some of his biggest pet peeves.

Milligan and his band charmed us all with their performance of an original song called "Kiss Goodbye All Night."

The stand-up comedian's marital routine wasn't everybody's cup of tea on Tuesday, earning an enthusiastic buzzer from Simon Cowell.

This contortionist had everyone cringing (in the best way possible!) as he twisted himself into geometric shapes not previously beheld by the eye of man.

The team's performance of Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling" was an undeniable touchdown.

Forget Simon Cowell, everyone else seemed to love the Colombia duo's sexy dance routine set to "The Last Goodbye" by Odesza and "River" by Bishop Briggs.
