"Male narrator:" "So here's what you missed on The Glee Project." "Last week, the contenders had to face their biggest challenge yet." "The entire music video is one shot." "Narrator:" "Some had the eye of the tiger..." "Nice!" "Narrator:" "While others weren't as tenacious." "Come on!" "Narrator:" "Lily and Aylin still don't get along." "She's really loud." "Narrator:" "And surprise, surprise, when they had to work together, they were completely out of sync." "Can you help Lily?" "Narrator:" "Shanna's been blowing away the competition week after week and is the only one who hasn't performed for Ryan." "Once again, great." "Narrator:" "As usual, Blake's been killing it." " That is some serious business." " Nice!" "Narrator:" "But Michael is struggling to keep up." " Is it pitchy on "chances"?" " Yep." "Narrator:" "Which landed him in the bottom three with Lily and Abraham." "But in the end, it was Abraham who was sent home." "Now six contenders remain to compete for a guest-starring role on Glee." "And that's all you need to know so far on... ♪ The Glee Project ♪" "I'm thinking it's pair-ability, since it's, like, an even number." "I'm one of six contenders." "Do I know if I'm gonna make it to the end?" "No, but I'm gonna do my best to." "I'm gonna fight through this as much as I can." "I am pumped that there are only two more weeks." "It just raises the bar and raises the competition." "And, like, you have to be better than everyone here." "Who do you think the guest mentor's going to be?" "I have no idea because I don't know what the theme is yet." "We're down to six people." "It makes me want to be even more in the game than I already have been." "I'm so close to the end." " Hey, guys." " Hey, Robert." " Hey." " Hi." " Here we are." " [Grunts]" "It's really weird to just see six of you." "All:" "Yes." "It's time to really bring it." "There's two guys..." "me and Blake, that's it." "Everything is just a little bit more high stakes." "I don't want to sound cocky, I don't want to sound arrogant, but I'm really proud of how far I've gotten." "The last thing I want to do is go home." "I want to beat Blake." "So your theme for this week is..." "Romanticality." "[Girls swooning]" " Nice." " Okay!" " That's really cool." " Wow." "One of the most popular elements of Glee are the iconic relationships." "So we need to know if you can create convincing romantic chemistry with another actor." "I have a crush on Blake." "I think everybody has a crush on Blake." "I don't think it's just me." "So your homework assignment this week is..." "More than words by extreme." " Ohhh." " Really?" " That is awesome." " Wow!" "I have an extra surprise for you." "Ooh." "Nuno bettencourt, who wrote and performed more than words, will be here tomorrow to accompany you on guitar himself." " Whoa." " Wow!" "So as usual, it's up to the group to decide who sings what part and to create your own romantic choreography." "Tomorrow, you'll perform for me and one of Glee's biggest breakout stars." "Talk to you guys later." "Good luck." "All:" "Bye." "So what are we planning on doing for choreography?" "I think it should be simple." "I think if we picked a pair, you can create your own story with that person." " Yeah." " Do we want to figure out what the pairs are?" "Yeah." "Okay, so we all decide we're gonna do it in couples." "And let's not say who we're gonna couple up with." "Let's just look at the person." "There was an awkward moment when I looked at Blake, and he didn't look at me, then I looked at Michael, and he didn't look at me." "Aylin is my partner this week." "I don't know if I can deal with her." "Okay, so we need to come up with our story." "Lily and I had a moment on the couch where we were being romantic with each other, and then she kind of mouthed to me, "should we kiss?"" "And I was, like, "oh, my God, wait... that's perfect!"" "The other contenders do not know." "We wanted it to be a surprise." "I think you need to be a little less enthused." " Michael, I'm working." " All right." "I'm a little nervous about being with Michael because his homework feedback isn't always the best." "I hope that we can pull it together and not get any negative feedback this week." "Both: ♪ I love you ♪" "We're together now." "[School bell rings]" " Hey, guys." " Hey." "So your homework assignment was more than words by extreme." "And you're lucky enough to have the amazing Nuno Bettencourt here to accompany you." "Thank you for having me." "It's been amazing." "The song is so beautiful." "It's one of my favorite songs ever." "I heard a rumor that you lost your virginity to this song." "[Laughs] Yeah." "I know a lot of people that did though, a lot of people." "Well, they are so lucky to have you here today." "So our other guest today has done some of Glee's most romantic and groundbreaking scenes." "[Screams and cheers]" "Hey, guys." "[Chuckles]" "Darren criss!" "He has an amazing voice and can dance, and I love that he's so good-looking." "Obviously, this is Darren criss, who plays Blaine, one of Glee's biggest breakout stars." "I love coming onthe Glee project because it's always a chance to get to know new people that I might be potentially working with." "Romance is inherently being vulnerable, and having a real, sincere, and unique connection because of that vulnerability." "The rest is in the music." "So let's see what you got." "Let's bring on the romance, man."

"It was cool that everybody kind of stuck to their choice." "And it made it a very interesting thing to watch." "Monsieur Michael, you were partnered with Shanna." "Yes." "It seemed you guys were a little stiff?" "I don't get negative feedback." "In, like, partner work, you have to just really use each other, and I don't know that" "Michael was willing to really use us together." "So, Lily and Aylin, your choice was to make the relationship a bit more serious." "The only minor speed bump of doing something like that... it can veer on the melodramatic." "It seems a bit more than it needed to be." "Blake and Ali, you were, I think, of everybody, very, very relaxed, and it was vulnerable." "So, Darren, who do you pick as the winner?" "I was enjoying the playful quality of this and the naturalness of this." "And I think the standout winner of that would be..." "Blake." "Yay!" "Thanks." "It was just really earnest." "You nailed it, and it just felt really nice." " Thank you." " Yay, blakey." "Finally I can be able to say," ""oh, I won a homework assignment,"" "because all the girls are just like, you know, "I won this, and I won that."" "So I'm really excited that I get to say," ""and I won that."" "So congratulations, Blake." "This means that you've won a one-on-one mentoring session with Darren, who will work with you on your role in the big group number, which is..." "Which is..." "We Found Love by Rihanna." "[Excited shouts]" "I love this song." "I definitely know that chorus." "Who doesn't?" "[Chuckles]" "So the concept for the big group number is that you are high school students who are in detention on the weekend." "So when the teacher leaves you alone to work, you sneak off into different areas of the empty school for a little bit of romance." "So that means that you'll all basically be pairing up again for this." "So, Blake, as this homework assignment winner, you are now allowed to choose who your partner will be for this next assignment." "The worst." "That's the worst." "Um..." "I really want to keep exploring with Ali, if that'd be cool." "I mean, it just felt right." "That's great." "I guess that means that we have to pair up the rest of y'all." " [Chuckles]" " Uh-oh." "Aylin, you were with Lily this last time, so I think we're gonna shake it up, and this time, you are going to be with Shanna." " I knew it." " [Laughs]" "That only leaves Michael and Lily together." "I'm a little disappointed that Blake didn't choose me." "It's pretty clear that Blake and Ali are the favorite couple." "Michael and I are very good friends, but the fire and spark that Blake and I have, it will be harder to find with Michael." "Just keep it at that." "So your job this week is to make us believe that you and your partner have real chemistry." "Blake, I look forward to working with you, man." "And I will see you soon." "My best to all of you guys." " Thank you." " Thank you for your time." "See you soon." "Bye, guys." "See ya." " Bye." " [Whispers] You're all amazing." "[School bell rings]" "So welcome." "Zach is over at the scripted show, so you get me today." "So this week's challenge is romanticality, and we are spending the weekend in detention, which I did a lot." "[Laughter]" "So let's get with our couples." "Me and Michael have to get more comfortable with each other." "Relax a lot with it, Lily." "We're close friends, but we're not very touchy, so we'll have to work that out." "♪ Crosses mine ♪" "Okay, good, go." "I think the choreography is a little bit challenging because there's a part where we're supposed to get on the floor." "I really do want to get out of my chair for this video because I feel like it's really important teenagers with disabilities feel like they can be sexy." "♪ Now we're standing side by side ♪" "The choreography is simple, but we have to really become connected with our partner." "When I spoon you, we're just gonna, unh." "Yeah."

"We know that all six of you have the talent and potential to win this competition." "But only one of you will." "This week's theme is romanticality." "It was all about creating believable romantic chemistry with another person." "Lily, in the studio this week, again, you just continue to grow, and you've turned into a great studio singer." "Thank you." "I was worried about the chemistry and how you and Michael were gonna pull it off, but I think it was fantastic." "Thank you so much." "You were just really sweet, and I don't think we've seen a sweet side of you in a video yet." "Ali, you were great in homework." "Darren thought you were wonderful and that you were a perfect partner for Blake." "Ali, in the studio, you really shined." "I don't know if the magic was Blake this week, but you have been consistently growing." "Your acting has just gotten really, really good." "Thank you so much." "So, Lily and Ali..." "Congratulations, great work." "You're both called back for next week." " Oh, thank you." " Thank you!" "To be called back first," "I was not expecting that at all." "They wanted to see this sweet side, this softer character, and I showed them that." "And that makes me feel really good that I proved myself this week." "So this week, it came down to the four of you..." "Michael, Blake, Aylin, Shanna." "So, Michael, in the homework assignment, you got a note from Darren that you were a little stiff, and this is a recurring note that you get." "We have to take seriously that a fresh pair of eyes comes in week after week and gives a similar note." "Blake, you obviously did an incredible job on the homework assignment." "This week was obviously not your week in the studio." "The sad truth is that we do a lot of harmonies on Glee, and it is part of daily life on the show." "So that's just something that, you know, we have to take into consideration." "It's just, I think, up until this point in the competition, we were all thinking," ""is there a crack in Blake's armor?"" "And I think, you know, we did find your weak point this week that you need work on." "Aylin, in the homework assignment, you and Lily made the choice to be a little bit more intense than everyone else." "Having done that, Darren felt that you did a little too much." "So, Shanna, along with Michael in the homework, you got the note that you were a little stiff and did a little too much, which was unusual because it's, I think, the first time" "you've ever had a criticism in the homework assignment ever." "And on my end, and I told you on the shoot, it just turned into a dance number, and I don't think it was up to par." "As always, it's been extremely difficult to pick three of you to perform tonight." "Shanna..." "You will be doing a last-chance performance for Ryan tonight." "Aylin, you will also do a last-chance performance tonight." "Blake..." "You will also perform for Ryan tonight." "Michael, that means you're a callback for next week." "Well done." "Thank you." "I have never been in the bottom." "I'm utterly shocked that it is us three in the bottom three." "I definitely thought that I had reason to be there, and we all had reason to be there, but I feel like Michael had more reason than all of us." "I'm not crying." "Are you okay, Shanna?" " I'm fine." " Okay." "I'm just kinda shocked, actually." "I know." "Well, I know, and I know." "One of is going home tomorrow?" "I'm really shocked right now." "I definitely was not expecting to ever be in the bottom three with Shanna and Blake." "Never." "Okay, guys, let's talk about the songs." "Blake, your song is losing my religion by r.E.M." "Mm." "Aylin, you will be doing the first time ever I saw your face, made famous by Roberta flack." "So jealous." "What, you're jealous?" "I don't know that song." "I love that song." "Shanna, the song isstronger by Kelly clarkson." "Yes." "Okay." "You have two hours to rehearse." "You guys are all gonna be amazing, so just have fun tonight, and just show Ryan why you're here." " Go!" " Go!" "[Laughs]" "I'm still in shock that I'm in the bottom three with these two amazing performers." "I though that we were the three top contenders."

"[Sighs]" "[School bell rings]" "You forgot the words!" "Why are you so nervous?" "If you want to win this, you have to show something I haven't seen yet." "Are you opening the meal with this song?" " Oh, yeah." "Of course." " Oh, oh, my God!" "Romanticality, to me, is showing another person how much you care." "This is your plate 'cause it's the best-looking plate."

" Ryan, what did you think of the footage you saw of the video?" "I thought..." "you know, to be honest," "I think this is the really hard part of the competition because I thought they were all, actually, very good." "And I think the bottom three are here for reasons which are probably not evident in the video." "Who's first?" "First is Aylin." " What was the problem?" " Basically, of all the couples, the two girls that played the same-sex couple turned it into a dance." "It doesn't seem organic, compared to the other couples." "Let's bring her out." "Wow."

"Mama is gonna be like, "oh, it is acting."" "But the family in Turkey, probably not gonna like me after watching the show." "What do you think it would mean for Muslim girls to turn on Glee every week and see a modern girl who is not a stereotype?" "[Sighs]" "It would mean the world to me." "There is nobody that looks like me on TV." "I want the little girls to see me and realize that they don't have to fit that stereotype." "Do you worry about any of the backlash?" "I'm ready for it." "I'm a strong enough person where I can take that pressure." "I want to be that person." "Well, thank you very much." " Thank you." " Good to see you." "Next is Blake." "The only reason he's here is because, in the recording studio, he had difficulty with harmonies." " Was he nervous?" " No." "I don't think he was nervous." "That's the one thing about him that bugs me is there's almost an absence of vulnerability and nerves." "Like, it's almost..." "I don't see the bottom in that kid." " He's sensitive."

" Thank you." "So for somebody who's been the front-runner of this competition, why are you so nervous?" "It's like the nerves and excitement and everything jumbled up together." "But you know, you really are the sweetheart of the competition." "Do you feel you deserve to be in the bottom three?" "Yeah." "Ah, if you are lucky enough to come back, you have to show us something that is completely vulnerable, that's not cookie-cutter, because those vulnerabilities that are interesting to me to write to, if you want to win this," "you have to show something I haven't seen yet." " Yeah." " You did great though." "But thank you." "Thank you." "Bye." "Okay, Shanna, like Blake, has been one of the strongest contenders." "You've never seen her." "Probably our top girl." "So why... if she's our top girl, why is she here?" "She's here because, in the music video, her default is to kind of be kind of bubblegum, Disney-like." "Okay." "I'm Shanna Henderson, and I'm gonna be singingstronger."

"You were great!" "How'd you feel about your number?" "I don't think I said hardly any of the words right, but I felt great about the way it sounded." "How do you feel about the fact that you've never been in the bottom three until now?" "I knew I was gonna be here at some point." "Whenever that came, I just wanted to prove to y'all that I should be on Glee." "What kind of part do you think would be inspiring to kids that's never been seen on TV?" "I would be, like, the athletic girl that's involved in everything, that can sing her ass off." "There's several other girls in this competition, who, from a writer's point of view... like, I can see what that is, I can see what that is." "I think you've just gotta be a little bit bolder." "Okay." "One other thing." "I hear that you aren't exactly pleased at the bottom three tonight." "Is that true?" "I guess, working with Michael, and then him getting the same critique," "I feel like he's gotten that critique over and over." "Do you think that he should be here instead of you?" " Yes." " You do?" "I admire the fact that she just told the truth." " Yeah, I like that." " [Laughs] She doesn't lie." "I want to seethatgirl, if you come back." "You've gotta be tough." "Yeah." "That tough country girl, you know?" "Because that's unique to you." "But good to see you." "Bye-bye." "I'll see y'all later, hopefully." "I think this is an incredibly difficult week because I think any one of those bottom three could win it." "I don't know who's gonna go home." "Shanna didn't deliver something that made me say," ""okay, she's safe."" "I just wasn't up to my potential this week." "Aylin, I liked seeing the vulnerable side of her." "I think she sounded the best, but it's not just a singing performance." "I forgot 1 1/2 lines." "I thought, Blake, "okay, well, I expected you to do that." "You were just sort of coasting on your charm."" "So based on that performance, I'm like, "okay, well, he could go."" "Obviously, you know, I had nerves and everything, but luckily, I did not forget a word." "What do you say?" "I think they all cracked a little bit tonight." "I think it's extremely unfortunate, but I think this fits on the show differently than that." " I'd say the other one." " Hmm." "One person has to leave." "I would have to go with this one." "Yeah." "[Dramatic music]" "♪ ♪" "[Sighs]" "It can go so many different ways." "'Cause it's like, "okay, well, I've been in the bottom three times."" "This is, like, their first time to the bottom." "I don't know, it's a lot to think about." "I just want you guys to know that..." "Getting to know you guys has been awesome." "I mean, you guys are my best friends..." "In a long, long time." "[Sighs] Hey, guys." "The list is up, so go take a look." "I hate going into things thinking the worst, but I'm thinking I'm going home, and I'm scared." "I know that I sang my heart out on that stage, and I performed the heck out of that song." "And if I go home, I will be devastated." "I'm about to read my fate, and I am nervous." "I'd be an idiot not to be because I know what there is to lose." "[Exhales]" "Oh, yes!" "Oh, my God." "♪ Ah ah, ah ah ♪" "I'm at a loss of words." "I fought to be here this entire time." "♪ Keep holding on ♪" "I was so motivated and so determined." "I genuinely thought that I could win." "I'm gonna keep on going towards my dreams with two suitcases in my hand and, like, 20 bucks in my pocket." "I love y'all..." "all of y'all so much." "And I'm gonna make it."

"Actability." " Yes!" " Awesome!" "This week is super high-pressure." "Last week till the finale." "Everything's at the highest stakes that it possibly could be." "I don't know where to go from here!" "I wanna be nothing like you!" "So you're having trouble with me, and then you get comfort from my best friend?" "Huh?" "We felt it should be up to them to decide who should go through to the finale." "Narrator:" "For more information on the Glee Project,"
