The first one is a ciliate resting cyst (with excystment in progress). The cytostome is visible in several places, and appears to be that of Ophryoglena.

The second is a pigmented Stentor. Typically, it would be S. coeruleus, but the structure of the macronucleus is not entirely clear, and your earlier video showed S. multiformis, so it could be the latter.

The last is a ciliate in distress. The shape looks somewhat like Mesodinium, but it could simply be a damaged oligotrich, with severe blebbing.
