The start of this episode brings a shocked look to the faces of the remaining girls when Rhiannon walks back through the doors and they find out that Natalie has been cut. Right away the girls start taking sides and bickering about who should have been gone home.
But, the girls head to their workshop to learn how to become a triple threat performer. It’s time to sing, dance and act! I wonder which girl will come out on top with that “It” factor.
Tap Tap! The girls bust out their tap shoes for the workshop and Autumn is having a hard time mastering the kick-ball-change. With the end of the workshop comes a sweet surprise! They all come out on top as the stand out performer and have a surprise waiting for them back at the loft.
It’s a treat, with a surprise dinner, yummy desserts AND fabulous Elle Woods themed Tiffany’s necklaces. Sigh. I’m totally jealous. Anything that comes in that little blue box is spectacular. After dinner the girls start sharing their Broadway dreams. It seems to me that Autumn is the odd girl out. She’s a lot older and has been in the game longer. The other girls look annoyed.
The rehearsals are totally intense with all the tricky vocals, tap dancing and lifts. It’s definitely a high-energy routine. As Rhiannon says, you can see all the girls becoming super competitive.
Audition Day morning comes and the girls start practicing straight off. Bailey and Rhiannon are bringing the girly drama while Lauren and Autumn are worried about the Audition. I think their heads are more in the right place.
THE AUDITION
Rhiannon seems to be losing her breath toward the end of her audition. I still don’t think she’s strong enough vocally to be on Broadway. Honestly, I don’t really like her voice in general. It’s too high-pitched and kind of annoying.
Bailey starts off strong, groovin’ to her song but during her costume change she has a wardrobe slip up. They’ve given her the wrong hat and it’s WAY too big for her. It keeps falling down all though the audition. But, the judges liked it anyway.
Lauren seems pretty strong but she’s running out of breath a little bit as well. Her dancing is animated and fantastic. I love this girl.
Finally, it’s Autumn’s turn and her acting and singing is SO good. I see her as the strongest competitor at this point. She’s not so good with the dancing but she seems so “Elle” to me.
It’s time for the judge’s decision and the list has NO names! All four girls are sent to the casting office. This is getting pretty intense.
The decision is made and it’s Lauren who is cut. I have to say I’m pretty angry that they’ve cut her before Rhiannon. She’s a way stronger singer and dancer. She wasn’t losing her breath nearly as bad as Rhiannon. Ick!
They leave us with a cliffhanger. Again, not one, but two girls will be cut tonight. They aren’t going to tell us who until next episode! The judges only want to see two girls at the final audition.
My predictions are that we’ll see Bailey and Autumn in the final audition. Who do you think is the second girl to be cut?
Next week is the finale and I can’t wait! The audition is going to be on BROADWAY! With real sets, actors and costumes. I can’t wait! How exciting. Be sure to check in so we can blog about it next week!
Much Love,
Drea
