The Glee Project (2011–2012): Season 1, Episode 7 - Sexuality - full transcript

So here's what you missed
on The Glee Project.

So far Damian's journey has had more
twist-and-turns than a riverdance performance.

Jesus

Only less coordinated.

While Samuel "it" factor's getting
also its love from the mentors.

That was so awesome!

Yes, 'skidooch'.

Lindsay rocked Cameron's world
so hard that it hurt.

I understand that you got a smacker
on the mouth and you cried and

You called your mother.

- While alex's last on-screen
romance hit the rocks.



- Deal with it.
- Meanwhile, hannah's dreaming

Of an off-screen romance
of her own.

- Damian is very cute.

- Cool down, girl.
That's better.

Now only six contenders remain,
as they compete

For a seven-episode
guest-starring role

On season three of glee.

And that's all
you need to know so far on...

[school bell rings]

- [laughs]
- what? Yes!

- Are you kidding me?

- Oh, no.

- ♪ like a virgin ♪

- ♪ touched for
the very first time ♪



- I'm like a koala bear.
I can't be sexy.

I'm definitely nervous

About the whole idea
of sexuality.

Um, it's something
very new to me.

Well, you guys
could fight over me.

Damian,
you could try to seduce me.

Damian is
definitely someone

That I could have
feelings for,

So it's a little bit
uncomfortable

Just to have to be sexy
with each other.

- ♪ I was beat,
incomplete ♪

- [whistles]

- ♪ I'd been had ♪

♪ I was sad and blue ♪

I've been in the bottom three
four times.

I have dealt with

Just an absolutely incredible
amount of pressure.

I am terrified.
I don't know what to expect.

- ♪ didn't know how lost... ♪
- oh, god.

I just felt
so wrong doing that.

I just felt
so wrong doing that!

I think this week's
really gonna test

What people's limits are
with sexuality.

You know, are you
willing to go there?

Would it be weird if I
hit on you in this video?

- Yes.
[laughs]

- Cameron's like...
- Just do what you want.

I'm not
comfortable really

With the whole
sexuality theme.

- It's not fair.
- [whines]

Obviously on glee
there's sex

And there's sexual things
about it, you know.

That's what makes glee
connect with a lot of people.

- ♪ you make me feel
like a virgin ♪

♪ very first time ♪

Something like that.

Being in
the top six now,

I know
that I can't stop.

I have to keep going.

This was
a competition before,

But it's on now.

[school bell rings]

- We thought long
and hard

About who to invite
for the guests this week,

And in the end, we had to go
with the hottest couple

To ever make out
in the closets

Of mckinley high.

- I can't see!

[speaks indistinctly]

Yes!

Oh, my god!

So I am incredibly excited

To see mark and ashley.

- Well, hi there!
- Wow.

- Ashley's character
is one of my favorites.

Super inspirational.
And mark is hot.

- So obviously
you know ashley fink

And mark salling.

Lauren zizes
and noah "puck" puckerman.

- Yeah!
- Hey there.

You're the final six.
We've heard a lot about you.

Are you guys ready
for this week's theme?

- Yes.
- Yep.

- Sexuality. This is
all about being passionate

With someone you may or may not
have real feelings for.

I mean, it's exhausting
for me with this one.

Look at him.
- [laughs]

- High school
is where young people

Start figuring out
who they are.

Ryan murphy
kind of likens it

To trying on people
and relationships

Like clothes,
you know what I mean?

- So you better
be prepared for it.

- Are you ready?
- Yep!

- Okay, sweet.
- All right, guys, it's time

To get sexy and seductive.

- Ohh!

- Ooh...

[madonna's

- ♪ I made it through
the wilderness ♪

♪ somehow I
made it through ♪

- ♪ didn't know
how lost I was ♪

♪ until I found you ♪

- ♪ I was beat,

- ♪ oh, baby ♪

- ♪ like a virgin ♪

All: ♪ like a virgin ♪

- Whoa!
[applause]

- Awesome.
- Wow.

- It was really good.
It was steamy.

- That was
really, really great.

All of you
really embraced the theme

And went for it.

- I was impressed
with the harmonies.

- You guys just did it.
You just pulled it out.

Like, that's hard, and you guys
were all really good.

So you're
all winners to me.

But, samuel,

I saw sexual chemistry

To the boys
and to the girls.

You were an equal opportunity
sexy person.

I could feel it with everybody,
so it was great.

- Thank you.
- Hannah.

I was impressed with you.
You own it, own who you are,

And that's always
very important to do,

'cause glee is all about
owning who you are,

And what makes you different,
and what makes you special.

I think I probably spent
the most time watching you, so--

You sounded great.
- [laughs]

Thanks.

[laughter]

[sighs]

- Now, alex, man,
I really am a sucker

For guys that have
a high range.

- ♪ when your heart beats
next to mine ♪

- You actually kind of
reminded me of a--

A slightly more fabulous cee lo,
from what I heard.

So obviously you embraced
the hell out of that.

- So this is
really, really hard,

But you have
to pick a winner.

- I think mark and I
ultimately agreed

That, samuel, you were
the winner of this challenge.

- Really? No...
- Yes! Ohh.

- Sam wins, and it
doesn't make much sense,

Just because he
kind of does this squinty,

Sultry gaze thing.

It's frustrating.
I mean, it shoulve gone to me.

- The big group number
this week...

Is going to be--
- well, hopefully we're gonna

Get your heart racing
in your skintight jeans

With some teenage dream
by katy perry.

- Yeah!
- Ah! Teenage dream.

- For this week's
music video,

Each of you
will be paired up

And perform
in a different scenario.

So, alex,
you are with samuel.

- [gasps]
whoo, baby boy!

- What up, bro?

- So the pair of you
will get one-on-one time

With mark and ashley,

And for the music video,

You're gonna be doing
a musical jam session

In a garage.

- I think
I definitely just got

The biggest challenge,

Because alex is gay
and I'm not.

And my job this week
is to make it believable.

- Damian,
your partner is...

Lindsay.

And you're a jock,
and she's a cheerleader.

[laughter]

- Obviously
I wish that I had

Damian as a partner.

It's kind of impossible

Not to have
feelings for him.

- So obviously
cameron and hannah...

You're gonna be
in a kitchen

Having
a flirty food fight.

- I don't think
necessarily me and hannah's

Is gonna be,
like, incredibly sexual.

I mean,
I don't want it to be.

- This, more than anything
we've done so far,

Is all about acting.

There's nothing in particular
you have to do,

But remember
what the theme is about

And what
you've seen on glee.

Make us believe it.

- All right,
good luck, guys.

Get out of here.

[school bell rings]

- Hello, hello!

Zach is on set,
so I am here for you guys.

So the theme of the week
is sexuality,

And there's so many
different levels

That we can play
into this.

- I have a girlfriend.

We've been dating
for like two years.

- And we're not attacking.

We're getting
a little closer.

- Oh, man,
this is gonna be deadly.

- So the trick
is to really

Grab on to your partner
and hold tight.

...This way.
Go left.

Push through her.

- I'm not the best dancer
in the world,

So I'm just worrying
that the judges are gonna say,

"you look very weak"
and "lindsay's taking control."

All: ♪ let's go
all the way tonight ♪

♪ no regrets ♪

- I didn't win
the homework assignment,

So I know
that I'm not safe.

I know that there's
no room for slack.

When you think
that you're safe,

You're in danger.

- Just be aware that everything
has the room to change,

So it might
get more intimate.

You might have
opportunities

To take a step
further.

- Not too much.

- What's gonna happen?
- I do still dig chicks.

[school bell rings]

I feel like
I'm already new to, like,

Taking acting
as a serious thing,

And then jumping into
a gay thing is, like,

Two scary things stacked
on top of each other.

There's definitely
this side of me

That's nervous
about this week.

My mom was christian,

And she raised me
christian,

And she wouldn't wanna
see me portray someone gay,

Just because it's not what
she necessarily agrees with.

- Just the word "sexuality"
just makes me uncomfortable.

- Yeah.
- Like, I mean...

Cameron is my best mate,
of course,

And we tell each other
everything.

And cameron
has already said

That he's just worrying
about the video shoot

And what
it's gonna involve.

So I'm just
a little worried for him.

[school bell rings]

- Cut!

- It just kind of happened.
It just kind of went that way.

- [gasps]
say what?

- How do you feel if, like,
you kissed her at the fridge?

- Yeah...
- [laughs]

- We've only got
six contenders left.

They're each gonna sing the song
straight through, front to back.

Usually they only have
a couple lines.

It's going to be
a challenge.

They're gonna have
to stretch their range.

They're gonna have to do
some harmony parts.

It's going to be
very interesting.

- So we meet again.
- So we meet again.

I'm gonna start you in
on the second verse.

- Cool.
- All right, here we go.

- ♪ let's go

- Nice! Damian!

- Hello.
- I'm impressed.

- Thank you.

- You have just, like,

Really grown
over the past six weeks.

- Thank you.
- That was amazing.

- Thank you very much.
Thank you, thank you.

Hearing that as a performer
I've made progress,

That is, you know--
that's one of the main reasons

I came here.

- All right, lindsay,
I'm counting on you.

- Okay.

Ooh. Sorry.

- [sighs]

Lindsay struggled today.

And I'm disappointed
'cause I think

She's very talented.

But that's the cool thing
about this competition,

Is that at some point
or another,

Every single person

Is gonna be
out of their comfort zone.

- Hello.

- Hello.
- Hi.

♪ you and I ♪

♪ we'll be young forever ♪

♪ ♪

- Thank you.
Just what I ordered.

Did I hear that you
had a hard time

With this whole thing?
- Yeah.

Um, I have had a little bit
of a hard time with this.

Yeah.

Sexuality is definitely
a challenge to, like,

Be able
to put myself out there.

- I hear ya,
but my question, though--

Is it just because of the way
your parents raised you,

Or is it also because
of the cross you wear

Around your neck?

- Um, both.

You know, I believe
that sex is something

You wait, you know,
until after marriage.

- Right.
Cameron is so sweet,

And he's having
a moral dilemma.

But you have to put
your own beliefs aside

And act the part
of the character.

- All right,
thank you, guys.

- Hey, good morning.
All: Hey!

- What's up, guys?
What's going on?

- Hello!
- Ready for a little sexuality?

- Heck yeah!
- Oh, yeah...

- So you are
in the garage,

Samuel and alex.

- I am a little nervous about
doing the scene with samuel,

Because he is straight,

And I don't wanna step
on his toes

By crossing
the straight line.

- Alex, sam,
let's go to the set.

- But other than that,
I'm just ready to do it.

Sexuality's
kind of my thing,

And I'm just ready
to get out there

And be sexy.

Cool.
- Alex! Samuel!

- What up?
- Hey.

- Welcome.

- Okay, here we go!
Rehearsal's up!

Both: ♪ let's go
all the way tonight ♪

- Samuel
is so committed.

Both: ♪ be your
teenage dream tonight ♪

- I definitely think
I'm more confident now,

Having had time
with ashley and mark.

I feel like sexuality
is more held here

As opposed to here,
you know what I mean?

And, like,
how do you guys--

'cause you guys
are both good at that.

Like, how do you
capture that?

- No, we're
not good at that.

We're great at that.

[laughter]

- Hi, mark.

You're so sensual
with your eyes.

- I think the minute
you try to be sexy, you're not.

- You're not.
That's the one thing about,

Like, love scenes
or, like, chemistry,

Is people are always like
"oh, chemistry,"

But it's just kind of,
like, as real to life

As you can play it.
- Right.

- Like, it's
the most interesting.

- How old are you? 18?
Are you old enough

To do a sex scene?
- Yes.

- Come on,
let me see your I.D.

[laughter]

- How hot is that gonna be?
Perfect timing.

- You ready? Roll the sound!
Roll camera.

- Alex is being
a little over the top.

I think that he
is playing it flamboyant,

Because I'm sure
he's trying to play sexy,

But he needs more levels.

Both: ♪ be your
teenage dream tonight ♪

- Cut! Cut, cut.

You guys are done.

- Lindsay and damian,
we're ready for you on the set.

- All right. [indistinct]
- [whistling]

- I struggled so badly
in the studio,

And if I want to win,
I need to step it up.

So damian and I will be
making some serious heat.

Oh, my gosh.
- Oh.

- It's a huge bed.

- The stakes are so high.

I absolutely have
to be on my "a" game,

Because lindsay,
without question,

Is probably
the strongest actress here.

Both: ♪ and don't
ever look back ♪

- Where do you want us
to end the turn?

- Let's try it one more time,
and then we'll roll one.

Both: ♪ let's run away
and don't ever look back ♪

♪ don't ever look back ♪

- [laughing]
sorry.

- Stand on my foot.
- Ouch.

- Whoa.

- Damian always seems to need n

Than our other contenders.

When you start to spin--
no, this spinout.

Like, start to
spin her this way.

You know, right now
we really need for damian

To step it up.

We need to see him
as a leading man,

And right now lindsay's

Just sort of
overpowering him.

Both: ♪ until we die ♪

- You can tell
when somebody can act,

And she's proven
that she can.

Both: ♪ you make... ♪

- How did they do
in the recording studio?

Really?

- That, um, is hard to...

[mimics chopping sound]

Both: ♪ be your
teenage dream tonight ♪

- And...Cut!

Nice.
We're good here.

Give it up
for lindsay and damian!

- Hello!
- What up?

- Welcome back!
- How was it?

- It was good fun.
- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- It was really fun.

- You look happy, damian.
- You look a little jostled.

- Is that
some lip gloss I see?

- [laughs] probably.
- [gasps]

Say what?

I have a huge crush
on damian,

And the kiss
between him and lindsay

Makes me so jealous.

- It just kind of happened.
It just kind of went that way.

- So it seems like
damian and lindsay

Set the bar higher.

And I'm definitely
freaking out.

- You guys
can have fun with it.

This could be, like,
the fun, flirty video.

I got all this food,
right?

Can we do stuff
where you're, like,

Trying to seduce cameron?

- Cameron finds anything

To do with sexual issues
difficult.

However, as an actor,
you do find yourself

Faced with
playing characters

Who don't feel
necessarily the way you feel.

- This is a moment
where you guys are that close.

How do you feel if, like,
you did, like--

Like, you kissed her?

I mean, you guys
are so close.

I don't know
how you feel about that.

- Yeah...

So eric asked me
the golden question--

"what if you
just kissed her?"

- I mean,
I'd be down,

But whatever
cameron's into.

[suspenseful music]

♪ ♪

- Yeah, kind of
feel weird about it, and--

- Okay.

- Cameron has a line
that he's drawn

That he's not really
willing to step over.

But I hope that
I'm not in the bottom

Because of
his performance.

- All right,
so we won't do that.

That's--that's our limit.

- It's hard to stand
for what you believe in,

Especially in this
entertainment world.

And to stand up and say no
or, you know, to set boundaries

Is really hard.

- This music video shoot
was intense.

It really pushed
the contenders

As actors.

Watching the videos
should help us see

Who's going
the extra mile.

- Cue playback, please.

[applause, laughter]

[school bell rings]

- I don't think
it was your best performance.

I don't think
it helped you tonight.

I didn't feel
anything from that,

Which is not something
you wanna do

When you're
so clwse to the end.

- There's only three people
that make it through,

And there were at least
three people this week

That kicked major butt,

And I don't feel like
that was me.

You know, damian's the one
giving me pep talks,

You know, just--

You know, "cameron, like,
I can't see you going home."

He doesn't wanna see me go
'cause we're buds.

I'm past the point
of trying to figure out

What's gonna happen
and past the point of...

Worrying about
what's gonna happen.

You'll drive
yourself crazy.

[school bell rings]

[dramatic,
suspenseful music]

♪ ♪

- It's been quite a week.

It was a big challenge,

And you all
were successful.

But it's time to announce
who we've chosen

To do last-chance
performances tonight.

Each and every one of you
really committed.

You've all shown
such growth.

But...

We still have
to put three of you

In front of ryan
tonight.

The only way we could
make this decision

Was rather than
trying to find fault

Where there was none,

Was to figure out
who were our top three.

- Hannah.
You did great.

- You're just
a very good actress.

And I think you guys
had a good chemistry

Because you're so comfortable
together as friends,

I think, so--
you were in our top three,

And you're called back
for next week.

- [gasping]

Thanks.
[sighs]

Phew!

- Samuel.

You're also in our top three.
- [sighs]

- You're called back
for next week.

- Thank you.
Thank you so much.

Thank you.

- So, cameron,
when you started,

You definitely were intense,
which was great,

But it didn't have
a lot of levels.

And obviously,
on the set,

The director asked you
to kiss hannah,

And you chose not to.

How do you feel
about that?

- Um, I'm glad I stuck up
for what I believe in.

I'm glad I put my foot down,
and, you know,

I can sleep at night knowing
that I did what I believed.

- I think you were thinking
way too much about the kiss,

And it affected
your performance.

- So I am afraid
that you're not

In the top three.
- Understand that.

- So you will do a last-chance
performance for ryan.

- Alex.

- You know, this was
the first time, I think,

A lot of your acting
was a bit flamboyant

And a bit over the top.

- So I'm afraid
you're not in our top three,

So you'll be doing
a last-chance performance

For ryan tonight.

That leaves damian
and lindsay.

This was
a really tough call.

It was difficult
to determine if you, damian,

Weren't quite stepping up
to the challenge

And being a leading man,

Or lindsay was just
overpowering the scene

Because she
was so in character.

- Lindsay.

[mutters, laughs]

- Just say it.

- You're also
in the top three.

You're on
the callback list.

You did great.

- Good luck.

- So considering you've all
performed for ryan before,

We've decided to have
you all sing songs

That we felt could be

Your character auditioning
for new directions.

Alex, your song is

I will survive
by gloria gaynor.

Cameron, your song is

Blackbird by the beatles.
- Oh, my god. Praise--

- Wait, is that a good--
- oh, man.

It's one of my
all-time favorites.

- Oh.
- Yes!

- Damian, for you
we decided to go back

To your roots,
way back.

Way, way back.

Your song is danny boy,
the traditional irish ballad.

Have you sung that before?
- Oi. Yes.

So--too many times.

- Good luck,
and kill it.

We're rooting
for you.

- [bleep].

I am tired from being
in the bottom three

Week after week
after week.

- God bless you,
paul mccartney.

It feels really good
that I stuck by my morals.

You know, most people
would be freaking out.

But, you know,
something inside of me just--

Just feels okay,
and, you know,

I'm just gonna go out there
and sing my heart out.

- Come on.

I'm not gonna
sit here and lie.

Going on the list
for a fourth time,

Mentally I'm beginning
to struggle.

I'm not sure
if I can take any more.

[school bell rings]

[dramatic,
suspenseful music]

- These last-chance
performances for ryan are

The "make it or break it" moment
for each of these contenders.

So the theme of the week
was sexuality.

- Mm-hmm.
- In the bottom are alex,

Damian, and cameron.

Um, it was tough this week,
as zach will agree,

In the fact that we were
just splitting hairs,

Because they all, actually,
really rose to the challenge.

So damian's first,
and he actually

Did the best
he has ever done.

- Amen.
He was the tricky...

- Mm-hmm.
- One to put in the bottom.

- Yes.
- Great. Well, let's see him.

- Mr. Damian!

- Hello.
- Hi.

- I wish I could say
it's great to be here, but...

[laughter]

- What are you singing?

- Today I am singing
danny boy.

It's a lovely song,
and I hope I do it justice.

- Very nice, damian.

Well, you know, I don't think
it was your best performance.

I don't think
itelped you tonight.

I thought
the last time I saw you,

I was very moved
by you.

Tonight I was
just sort of like, mm.

I didn't feel
anything from that.

- It's a tough song
for me to sing.

I've sung it
so many times.

- Well, I felt you
felt disconnected from it.

- Yeah.
- Tonight.

- I think of every contender,
you, damian,

Have shown the most growth.
- I would agree with that.

But I think the thing is,
if it's not something

That's great for you,
fake it.

You know, these kids now
are gonna graduate.

I need somebody
who's gonna come in there

And who's, like, the next
finn hudson character,

The next cory,
and I see that in you.

I see flashes of it,
and then tonight I'm like,

Okay, well,
that's not him.

Just when I think
you're up there,

You come down,
so you're erratic to me,

Which is not something
you wanna do

When you're so close...

To the end.

[school bell rings]

I really admire
your conviction.

But what if we see something
in that character,

And you have to have a scene
with lea michele,

And you have to kiss her,

And I'm brought down to the set
because you say,

"I won't do this"?

What am I supposed to do?
- [mutters]

- Uh, this is dirty.
- This is very inappropriate.

This won't make tv.
Don't worry about it.

I'm definitely
not very in tune

With my sexy side.

- I can't do this!
My mother's gonna kill me!

- So we come up
with a crazy idea.

- I really don't believe
I'm watching this.

They just sprayed some cream
onto hannah's tats.

[laughter]

- I didn't get it!
Stop moving!

[laughter]

- Like, uh...

Oh, my god!

- Okay, who's next?

- Alex is next.

And the only reason
alex is here

Is that he was a little,
um, flamboyant.

And once we gave him
the direction,

Then he just played it
very real.

- Well, let's see him.

- How are you?
- Good. How are you?

- Good.
- So what are you singing?

- I will survive.

- Okay.
Well, let's hear it.

- Let's hear it.
- Okay.

- Very good, alex.

You know, it's funny.

I was on the set this week
with the kids,

And I was talking
to amber riley.

- Ooh, that's my girl!
- I said, "amber,

I think you've got some
competition on this show."

- No, she don't.
- She was not havin' it.

Um...But you know,

I think you're such
a great performer.

I think your cross to bear
on this show is...

Acting something
other than that...You know?

You can knock that sort of d,

But I just wanna see
a different flavor of you,

A different tone.

I wanna see something real.

Thanks.

- Thank you.

- Next is cameron.
- Oh, cameron.

Like, what's the deal
with this kid?

It feels like every week
he can't do the lesson.

Or he does the lesson
and he blows it and then he--

- He's growing slower
than anyone is...

- He seems like
he's the farthest behind.

- Mm-hmm.
- Maybe he...

Is a singer
and not an actor/singer.

- Possibly.
And that could be.

- Okay, well,
let's bring him out.

- This is a song
called blackbird,

And it's a story
that relates to my life.

- How are you, cameron?

You had a hard week.

- Yes, sir.

I had a really difficult week.

With sexuality,
and I can't lie.

That's something that I've
never been through before.

But I know
the beliefs that I have,

And it's definitely been
a real challenge.

- You know, the thing
that's difficult for me

Is that I really admire
your conviction.

It's your conviction
that I'm interested in

Writing toward.
- Mm-hmm.

- One of the things I think

That we have not done well
thus far

Is represent a sort of
more conservative,

Religious,
faith-based character.

And you are that guy.

But what if we see something
in that character

That we create for you

And you have to have a scene
with lea michele...

- Mm-hmm.
- And you have to kiss her,

And you're not dating
lea michele,

And I'm brought down
to the set

Because you say,
"I won't do this."

- Of course.
- What am I supposed to do?

- Um...

- Because I feel like you're not
giving me any room to wiggle,

And while I respect
your convictions,

That's the gig.
- Yeah.

- Like what do you say to that?

- Um...

- Do you think
that you're an actor

Or are you a singer?

Because the hard part
of this competition

Is you have to be both.

- That's true.

You know,
I've had sleepless nights

Just thinking about
the people here

That really will push it,

The people here that aren't
afraid to do things

And, you know,
won't say no,

And I feel like it's not fair
for me to go on

But still have like
these reservations

And for someone to go home

That's gonna work
their butt off.

- Wait, wait.
Are you quitting?

- Um...

- I feel like
you just resigned.

- Uh...
[laughs]

It's been amazing and, um...

[sniffles]

And, um, things
I'll never forget

And experiences I've had,
and, uh...

People I've met
like you guys

That have changed my life.

And, um...
I feel like that, uh...

You know,
maybe this isn't for me.

[sniffles]

- Well, how about you let us
make that decision for you

Right now?

How about that?

'cause I don't feel like
I'm willing...

To give up on you
right now.

And I think
if we see something in you

And we can make it work,

You have to trust in me.

Will you do that for me?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- Thanks.

- He just asked
to go home.

- But I don't--
I think that he's confused.

- He won't give it up.

He'll stay.

- How could he give up

A tv show,

A concert tour...

And a recording deal?

- He's worked too hard.
He'll stay.

- 'cause I want him
to stay now.

All right,
I'm gonna go talk to him.

- Okay.

- Oh, wow.
- Ta da!

Cameron...

What's going on with you?

Come here, give me a hug.
How are you?

Why are you crying?
Why are you so upset?

- I...
[laughs]

- Are you homesick?

- Um, yeah, but, uh...

You know, it's a little
bit more than that.

- Right. Well, I'm here
to tell you

That you are in.

You stay.

The decision, I think,
is up to you,

Because we believe in you

And we have confidence
in you.

- I don't want
to disappoint you.

- I don't think
you need to think about me.

I think
you need to think about you.

You know, you have a gift.

You are given now
an opportunity

To show the entire world
your gift,

And if we respect your
boundaries and parameters,

Why wouldn't you try?

I know you're very emotional,

And I--we've never done this
in the competition.

So that being said,
do you...

You know,
do you wanna stay?

Will you do another week?

You have to decide.

do you want another week,hy.

Or do you want
to go home now?

- You know,
I'm emotional right now,

But...

I have been
thinking about it.

And I think...

I'm ready to go.

- Okay.

I've never seen a show
where somebody...

- Just walked away like--

- Has walked away.

You know, the person
you just saved is damian.

I'm sad.

I feel like I could have
written you a role,

And I do think
that you could have gone

All the way to the finals.
- Oh, man.

- Because, um...
I think you could have

Touched so many people.

- Hey.

- What's...Going on?

- I was just talking to ryan

And told him how tough
of a time I've had

And how I've come to realize
that, um,

Right now this really
isn't for me.

So tonight,
um...

I'm, uh, I'm leaving.

Uh...
- What?

- Yeah.

- This is awful.

- [sniffling]

- It just felt right.

And in the end,
he told me I saved damian.

When your heart changes

Or feels like
it should be somewhere else,

Then you just go for it.

And...
That's what happened here.

I am proud that I did
something so big

And something I thought
I could never do.

- It's not that often
I'm stuck for words,

But I really am.

I just don't know what to say.

But I also realize that,
you know,

He has basically
given me his shot

At winning this thing.

- [sniffling]

- I have no regrets
whatsoever

About being on
the glee project.

I left it all on the field.

And I'm so confident in that,

And I wouldn't have made
this decision

If that weren't the case...

And know that
if this door closes

Another door will open,

And I feel like things
are gonna be okay.

- Oh!

- Believability.

- We're all friends,

But it's beginning to feel
more like a competition.

- I just started to cry
and break down,

And I couldn't stop.

It's just so much pain.

- I'm fine.
- You are?

- Mm-hmm.

- Everything has to be perfect.

Only two people
are safe this week.

- It was a little disconnected

From what the purpose
of the song was.

- For me, the performance
fell short, I think.

- I don't root for you,
and I don't know why.

Of the three people who
came across the stage tonight,

You know, I think you were
the most unrelatable.
