" I ended up having a solo booty-popping session" "And it was awesome." " Use the wall!" "Use the wall!" " Slap it!" " Oh, my god." "[cheers and applause]" " Marissa is doing the booty pop." "[laughs] oh, my god." "Like, that is hot." "And the rest of us are committing sins in our head." " Eww." " Unreal." " That was awesome!" " Incredible." "It's in front of you, but you can't touch it." "You can't touch this." "[bell rings]" " So mckynleigh has never quite connected" "Like she did in the original audition." "In the vulnerability challenge last week," "When she stripped everything away, she did very well." "But then this week, we asked her to pop again" "And she faded into the background." " Hello."

" Great job." " I thought you did great." " Thank you." " Well, during this last competition," "You were dancing and you know how to dance" "And you can dance, but you looked like" "You were doing this covergirl commercial" "And you couldn't take on this persona" "Of rap, tough, hard girl," "And instead, it was lost up top." " I don't know if it's just something" "That's gonna take me a while to get." "And I mean, that's unfortunate, you know, but" " I think you need a little bit more ferocity." "You're kind of there." "Um, I just wish you would sort of own it" "A little bit more." "I've always wanted to have a country singer in that cast." "I've never found that person." "You could be that person." "You were very fun." "Thank you." " Thank you." " Great job." " Thank you." " She got better." " Oh." " She took the note." "She was interesting." " So next is matheus." " Um, matheus had a huge meltdown on set." " Why?" " He got upset because when he had to stay on his mark," "He couldn't dance, and then he couldn't remember" "To sing while he was dancing." " Wow." " Matheus." " Hey." "♪ shorty in the house ♪" " [chuckles]" " So I'm gonna be singing down by jay sean."

"You sort of see things as you see them," "And if you have to be told," ""move to the left an inch or move to the right,"" "It completely throws you and you shut down." "And that's not at all in character" "With the person you are right now." " Okay." " The show is about being your better self."

"That voice, man." "I mean, you have something very special." "And the thing about this week, from what I heard," "Is that you actually felt that you wanted" "To throw the challenge because quote, um," ""you wanted to let other people shine."" " Yeah." "Somebody else needs to shine sometimes," "And I can't always be the one to jump up and to be like," ""here I am." "I'm gonna win this."" "I mean" " You think you're better than them?" " No, I don't--I" " But why would you say," ""yeah, I'm gonna throw it away." "Let them do it."?" "Why would you do that?" " It was a dumb move." " I get how you could come on and sing those songs" "And make people cheer." "But I think you need to earn that a little bit" "With more humbleness." "I'm more interested in the pain" "That makes you want to be that character." "What is that about?" " Well, I'm gay..." "And it's something that I've learned throughout my life" "That that's not good, that's not right." "But I just want to be me and I want to be free" "Of how people accept me and don't accept me." " How are your family and friends dealing with that?" " Only person that knows in my family is my mom right now." " And when you told her, what did she say?" " She said, "I will love you" ""no matter who you are, no matter what you are." "This is unconditional love."" " Mm-hmm." " My mother's my inspiration and that's what" "Gives me the drive to keep going sometimes." " Well, you need to be this person." "You need to be more secure in your specialness." "Bye-bye." "Bye-bye." "Oh, this is the hardest week of them all." " It is." " Hey." " Hey." " What's up?" " Let me ask you this." "Who were you the most surprised by?" " My nerves are going up and adrenaline." "I was like--there was a part where I was like," "Half singing and then taking my shirt off" "And I was like-- and I was, like, dancing" "And I was going for it and they were cracking up" "And it was insane." "I'm almost making my mind-set that I might go home" "So that it won't be like as much as--of a hurt." " Well, what about mckynleigh?" "Talk about mckynleigh." " I'm intrigued because she keeps getting better." "I think that's why tonight was hard," "Because of the two that repeated," "I felt they brought it." "I felt that they fought for their place." " He told me--he's like, "yeah, we don't have anybody" "Country on the show," he's like," ""that can actually sing country."" "He goes, "and I've really wanted that."" "And I was like, "okay."" " So the thing about alex, it's like," "If you're in this competition, you cannot say," ""I am throwing it this week for somebody else to shine."" "That's just insane." " I didn't know that either." " You killed it, didn't you?" " The only thing that he said that was bad" "Was I could humble myself more." " Well, I think I have my mind made up." " Mm-hmm." " Do you?" " Unfortunately, yes." " Yeah, unfortunately, yes." "Me too." " My choice is-- - yes." "Don't you think?" " Yeah." "Right?" " Unfortunately, I agree." " Okay." " Hey, guys." "So..." "Here we go again." "And the list is up, so..." "Go take a look." " Oh, my gosh." " Let's go." "Oh, man." "Thank you." "I love you guys." "[soft pop music]" "This has been my dream, you know?" "And to have that taken from you," "It's hard to think about." " I've been struggling the whole time I've been here" "With the same thing, so I definitely feel" "Like I could be going home." " I'm not confident enough to think that I'm not going home." "But I'm hoping and praying that I stay." "♪ ♪" " Oh!" "Oh, my gosh!" "Yes!" "Oh!" "[grunts] yes!" "Oh!" "[grunts]" " [sighs]" " I feel like I've kind of lost an opportunity," "But I got to meet some amazing people."
