- So here's what you missed on the glee project. It is so on.
First lindsay kissed a boy and made him cry.
- The kiss between him and lindsay makes me so jealous.
- During sexuality week, sam smoldered hard
At anything that moved.
It was all a bit too steamy for saintly cameron.
- [laughs]
- In the end, he sacrificed himself...
- Maybe this isn't for me.
- And saved his best friend damian to live another day.
Talk about the luck of the irish.
Now only five contenders remain as they compete
For a seven-episode guest-starring role on glee.
And that's what you missed so far on...
SINC: -THE TUUNZ- Here, There, Everywhere!
- [laughs] oh!
- Yay! - Yeah, finally!
- Are we singing the whole song? - We're singing the whole song.
- Oh, I'm so excited! - Ooh, I'll let you.
So this week's homework assignment is true colors
By cyndi lauper.
I think that singing the whole song
Will be vocally more challenging
Than singing a tiny part.
It's gonna be different but I'm very excited.
- ♪ can't remember when I last saw you laughing ♪
- The dynamics have changed a lot, you know, obviously.
Cameron's left and, you know, he was my best mate, of course,
So I don't feel I can talk to any of the guys
The way I could talk to cameron.
You know, we're all friends, but it's beginning to feel
More like a competition.
- Things are getting close to the end,
And now I have the drive to win this competition
Like no other drive I've ever had in my life.
- I kind of like the freedom of picking a girls' song, though,
And being able to mess with it, you know?
I've been here for eight weeks now.
Never even done a last-chance performance
Or been in the bottom three.
I think the only thing I'm thinking is,
What are we trying to make people believe?
I feel very believable today.
The only question I keep asking myself is,
Am I trying to make them believe
What they want me to make them believe?
You guys want to go practice? - Yep.
[school bell rings]
- This homework assignment is amazing.
I love the song.
We're gonna blow the guest star away.
I'm excited for whoever it's gonna be.
- Oh! - [laughs]
- Aah! [clapping]
- Hi, guys. How are you?
- So robert rolls into the choir room
With jenna ushkowitz.
She's been with glee since the beginning,
And I'm really stoked, and might I add,
She looks beautiful in person.
- I'd like to introduce jenna ushkowitz,
Who plays tina on glee.
- Hi, guys. How are you?
I've heard so much about you guys.
Congratulations for making it this far.
- Thank you so much.
- So this week's theme is believability,
And this week's challenges are gonna be all about
Taking on character, emotion, and story.
Speaking of which, jenna, you play someone
Who's very different from yourself.
- Of course, this is tina. This is not me.
Um, you have to really pull from your life, your personal life,
To create a character.
- The song we're singing today, true colors,
Jenna sang on glee,
So I think she's the perfect mentor
To help us connect with our inner emotion.
- This song is very important to me.
I love this song.
I think it's just a really, really beautiful song
To sing to a friend or to somebody very special.
I sang it to my friends in the glee club.
- Lindsay, you're up first.
- Good luck, everyone.
I can't wait to hear you sing.

Thank you.
- So, what do you think, jenna?
- You guys were amazing. You were so great.
Alex, your voice is incredible.
I was very captivated by you.
- Thank you.
- Damian, it was-- it was dreamy.
[laughs] it was so sweet
And just so heartfelt. - Thanks.
- Samuel, awesome.
It was such a strong choice.
Your intensity, it was just so spot-on,
So it was really, really great.
- Thank you so much.
- Sam is a good actor,
But there's really only oe
That he makes.
Just kind of a...Look.
Kind of just squints and stares at you intensely,
Which is, you know, great for certain things,
And then for others, it's not so awesome.
- Lindsay, you are a wonderful actress
And it was such a sweet, beautiful rendition of the song.
It was really, really great. - Thank you.
- And hannah, you sounded incredible.
So, just joyous and I could tell, like,
It was very specific
When you were trying to cheer somebody up.
You just put a smile on my face. It was wonderful.
It was a really, really, really tough choice.
Um, but hannah, it worked.
'cause I'm picking hannah. - Oh, my god.
- [laughs] - yay!
- It was awesome. I can't wait to work with you.
- Oh, thanks. This is my first one.
This is really cool. - Yay!
- Oh!
So, since I win the homework assignment,
I get a mentoring session with jenna, and I am pumped.
Um, I think it's really, really going to help me out this week.
- So this week's big group number is...
- Paramore's the only exception.
- Oh! - Oh, my god.
- It's one of my favorites, for sure.
- I love that song.
- This video is about that very painful feeling
That almost every high school student has experienced--
Being in love with someone who doesn't know you exist.
- Mm. - Mm.
- I had a thing for damian in the beginning.
I know that there's, like, nothing that's going to happen
Just because I know that he just sees me as a friend.
So this--this is definitely something I can relate to.
- There won't be choreography this week.
It's all about your vocals and acting skills.
- I do believe that I am a believable actress,
And I've been complimented on my subtle acting,
And I just hope that that trickles on into this week.
- You guys were amazing. Thank you so much.
Hannah, I will see you soon. - See you later, guys.
[applause] - bye.
- Whoo! - [sighs]
- Hannah, girl.
I'm a little upset that there's no choreography,
Because I'm a mover, I'm a shaker.
- I'm so sad I'm not doing floor work.
Man!
- I think this week will be the hardest acting challenge
We've ever had throughout the competition.
Let's--as if we were being able to pick
Our own person that we were in love with,
A friendship, who would you pick?
- I'd pick hannah.
- I, honestly, though, I think that if I got you,
I would--not that I'm, like, not okay with playing it,
Like, girl on girl, whatever, like, 'cause I'm cool with that.
- I would make it more friendship.
- But, I think, yeah, like,
You would be the cool, popular girl
And I'm just like, ehhh,
Carrying my books to math class,
Like, I really wish I was her friend, wahh.
- You know, honestly, I'm ready, I'm ready to hit on a girl
After last week.
- Hannah, because-- - I picked hannah.
- Because I love her.
Because I love her but she doesn't know I exist, so...
- [snickers] true.
[laughs]
- [laughs]
[school bell rings]

"oh, am I right? Am I right? I'm not sure."
- Yeah.
- So tell me about,
How are you gog to convey the story?
- I'm kind of getting to the head space
When my father died.
[crying]
I'm sorry.
[sniffling] I'm sorry.
- No, don't be sorry.
- There's just so much pain that I've always held back
And I've just never wanted to bring up or use.
[sniffles]
- It's something that I don't think
You ever can really get over 100%.
You just have to live with it,
And you're doing that.
But I think it is important that you're letting it out.
- Being that my father died when I was six years old,
I never had a male influence in my life all the time.
I'm really just feeling every bit of emotion
That I've ever felt of longing to have a father,
And hopefully it's coming across in my vocals.
♪ and that was the day when I promised ♪
♪ I'd never sing of love ♪
♪ if it does not exist ♪

I'm almost kind of speechless about alex.
He's never given such a heartfelt
And simple performance before.
It was magical.
- I just started to cry and break down,
And I couldn't stop, and I started shaking,
And I didn't know what to do.
And she just came and started talking to me,
And it just made everything feel better,
Because she always knows what to say.
- Yeah. - Well, I'm proud of you.

- I'm sure she was talking to you.
[laughs]
- No, no, no, I know she was talking to me,
But I know she didn't mean it.
That's what I'm getting at. - Oh.
- I have felt on more than one occasion
That she's not being 100% real.
- That's emotional. - Yeah?
- Yeah. I don't know.
I just talked about how I do miss home
And, like, I miss being able to talk to my mom, you know,
And, like, the people that I love,
And what you sacrifice to be at a place like this
And for your career and it was just heavy.
[school bell rings]
- I'm supposed to be in love with alex,
And damian is sitting, like, right in front of alex,
So I'm getting a little bit distracted.
- I just wish it was making me feel something.
[school bell rings]
- What's up, gang? How's everything? Good?
What's up, alex?
All right, so this is the library.
Hannah, you're gonna be over there.
- Okay.
- There's definitely this side of me
That's nervous about this week.
This is the first time I've ever really been examined
As an actor, which is crazy to even say,
'cause I've never even considered myself an actor
And it is freaky, but at the same time,
I know that freaking out
And letting the nerves get the best of me
Is just gonna make my performance worse.
- I think this could be the best big group number yet.
In this video, each contender is singing to another contender,
So hannah is longing for alex, who is longing for damian,
Who is longing for lindsay, who is longing for samuel
Who is longing for hannah.
I love the fact
That this is gonna be done so much in close-up,
So we're really going to be able to analyze
Their acting and their screen presence
And I happen to love the song, so...
- Here we go, and playback, please.

It feels like depression or something.

And I mean, I guess, the truth is,
No matter what they think,
You as an audience have to believe
He's pining after damian.

Looking at a close-up, makes me nervous.

We need a little more twinkle.
Okay? - Yeah.

- A little more.
I'm feeling kind of anxious
Because it is kind of just us,
Essentially by ourselves, with our own close-ups,
Kind of in our faces and kind of intense.
And it is nerve-racking beca+'e this is a competition.
- Cool. Let's go again.
- This is what I want to do with my life.
Cameras everywhere.
Makeup chicks just like, le-dah dah dah.
Life is good.
- Samuel's up now, so this is the first time
That he can't fall back on the bad boy/cool guy look.
- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

She is somebody that you're really longing for,
You wouldn't be as confident
As to just stare through her.
- Okay.
- Maybe one where you're kind of, like,
Almost--almost a little nervous.
- I hope that he can incorporate
Some more vulnerability
Or a sense of longing into that performance.
This was one of the more difficult big group numbers.
Since acting is all about connecting to the camera,
The contenders had to convey emotions
Through subtle performances.
Now we will have to watch the video
To decide who will be performing for ryan.

- It was a little disconnected

- The performance fell short, I think.
You will be performing for ryan tonight.
[school bell rings]
- What's up? And how are we feeling about today?
- [bleep] myself is the correct explanation, I believe.
Very nervous.
You know, I'm not gonna lie to ya.
I've prepared myself for being in the bottom three.
I'm not a negative person, but I just believe
That because I've been there four times,
I'm just gonna be there again.
- I'm pretty scared. I don't want to be there.
After this video shoot, and, you know,
Doing close-ups and stuff like that,
Just being a little bit not as happy with my performance
As I usually am,
I feel like it's a definite possibility
I'm meeting ryan, gonna end up in the bottom three.
- Only time can tell what is gonna happen.

- Hi. - Hey.
- As you can see, zach isn't with us today
Since there was no choreography this week,
But we have nikki to help us
With this difficult decision today.
- Hello. - Hi.
- So it's that time, guys.
Three of you will be doing last-chance performances
For ryan tonight.
Only two of you are safe.
Hannah, I wanted to tell you that I thought
In the homework assignment,
You have never sounded more beautiful
However, at the actual shoot,
I thought you seemed distracted.
You're such a good actress. I was just surprised.
Do you--do you know why?
- I just--I was confused, and I-I tried my best, so...
- Damian, I thought you did a great job at the video shoot.
It really made me proud
Because you haven't really acted before, have you?
- Not that intense ever. That was just incredible.
I didn't think it was gonna be that hard.
You know, I'm gonna be honest.
I didn't expect it to be that tough.
- Lindsay, it's no denying that you are a great actress.
But on the shoot this week, zach,
Who is one of your biggest fans,
Commented that you didn't make him feel anything,
As several of the other contenders did.
- Lindsay, I have to say that in the studio this week,
You did frustrate me a bit.
- I'm sorry.
- It was almost like you came in
Emotionally prepared to have a breakdown
Because you saw some of the other contestants
Maybe have a real moment.
It may have not been what you intended,
But, um, it didn't come across true to the moment.
- Well, it's just, a lot of things have been building
Just by being here, and I'm sorry
If it came off false, but it--it wasn't at all.
- Samuel, at the video shoot,
To be honest, I didn't feel the romantic side
That I wanted to from you.
I just wanted to feel more vulnerability and longing,
And the performance fell short, I think.
- Alex, it took you a while to warm up on the shoot.
From the very beginning, you did connect to a deep place,
And that was very powerful,
But it made your performance read kind of sad.
It was a little disconnected
From what the purpose of the song was.
But when you were given the note to focus more on longing,
You took it, and I think your performance
Was breathtaking, really.
- Thanks.
- You will not have to perform
A fifth time for ryan tonight.
- Thank you so much.
- Lindsay, you will be performing for ryan tonight.
- Okay.
- Hannah, you also will be performing for ryan tonight.
- All right.
It's on.
[laughs]
- So samuel and damian, that leaves you guys.
Damian, you've performed for ryan four times already.
Do you think you have it in you to do a fifth?
- [laughs] yes, I do.
But I don't want to.
But I have it in me, yeah.
But I'd just rather not.
- Samuel, you have yet to perform for ryan.
Are you ready to sing for him if you have to?
- Yeah.
- Samuel, you are going to be performing for ryan tonight.
- Oh, my god. I did not expect this.
I've been to hell and back, but I am gonna fight
Until, you know, until--until the death
To win this competition.
I'm blown away.
- So hannah, lindsay, and samuel,
It's time to prepare for your last-chance performances.
- Lindsay, you will be singing maybe this time
From the musical cabaret.
- I have no idea what that song is.
- You don't? Oh, you--I think you'll know it when you hear it.
- I will learn it tonight. - Yeah.
- [laughs]
- Samuel, you're gonna perform animal by neon trees.
- Nice!
- [laughs] - yes!
- I'll take that as an "I know it."
- I'm already imagining this place, like, fully packed,
You guys screaming my name, and I'm just like, let's go.

I'll be with zach and ryan.
Can't wait to see your performances.
You guys are all gonna be incredible.
It's gonna be a great show tonight.

Competing against lindsay and samuel.

- Well, hannah, you know, I love you, I root for you.
I have to be honest with you.
Tonight, you have a very hard road
Because I thinyou're up against two performers
Who are better singers than you,
And I think that you're aware of that.
The thing that you have, perhaps more than them,
You really are the show.
You know, you're the person that people want to see win,
And you've got a great degree of heart,
But I wish you would be more confident about yourself.
- Me too. - I really do.
- It's something I've been struggling with my entire life.
Like, you know, I was bullied when I was a kid and, like,
I've just always been the big girl,
And it's hard, you know, to keep going,
But I'm getting better.

- I know. I actually did that earlier.
I gave myself a pep talk.
Just being here has put me miles ahead of where I was,
So I definitely appreciate that and, uh...
- Well, that's great. - Yeah.
Thank you so much. - You're welcome.
- Thank you, hannah. - Thanks, hannah.
- Yeah. - I thought she did great.
- She did. Okay, who's next?
- Next is lindsay.
And lindsay's a great actress with an amazing voice--
As I've said over and over, the best voice
I think that we've heard of everyone.
She's here because she wasn't quite as empathetic
In this--in this piece as everybody else.
- Hello. - Hello.
- My name is lindsay,
And I will be singing maybe this time
From the musical cabaret.

[applause] - very good.
- Thanks.
- You know, the thing about you, I'm gonna be honest.
I think you're a fantastic singer.
I mean, you're very clearly in the lea michele mode.
When I need the next lea michele,
Clearly of all the girls, you're that person.
The difference between the two of you is,
I root for lea but I don't root for you
And I don't know why.
There's just something about you that I struggle with.
Like, are you the show? Are you an underdog?
Will you make me cry?
Will I believe that you're not going to win?
- Um, I've just been taught my entire life
To be really strong,
So maybe that's it.
- But I think--I think that there's a way to be strong
And to be vulnerable at the same time.
- In my life, I can't be vulnerable.
- Well, you have to be.
Why are you so afraid to show that?
- Um, it's just because I've been taught...
- Overcompensation.
- My entire life to just be so--
[sighs] I don't know how to describe it.
I'm almost programmed, as it were,
To just kind of be perfect,
And I hate being that way.
I catch a lot of awful crap for that, and--
- Like what? - Like, I'm adopted.
And, um, it's kind of like, I had to be the best
So that I could prove to my family
That I kind of belonged.
I-I don't--I'm not a jock,
I'm not--I'm not perfect like they are,
And so I strive, if that makes any sense.
- Right now, that's the girl that--
I've never seen that before,
So suddenly, I'm like, oh, okay.
There--there you are. - It's 'cause I never show it.
- I think that when, you know, when you come out here
And you've said that there's no room for imperfection
In your life,
I don't think that people relate to that.
What we need is a heroine.
We need somebody who,
Young girls, particularly, can invest in,
And I keep wanting you to step into those shoes.
- Right. - I think you can go.
- Thank you. - Bye.
I think what I said to her was the truth,
For what we need.
- It's just hard to figure who she is.
She's not quite dianna, she's not quite lea,
She's not quite, you know.
- Well, that's the problem.
I think she just has to be who she is.
- No, I agree.
So samuel is here
Because he goes to a little bit of a place
Of being kind of aggressive.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Whoa, this is kind of high. I didn't expect that.
- This is the first time in the entire competition
You've been here.
- Yes.
- So, what are you gonna sing?
- I'm gonna sing animal by neon trees.

[applause]
Right.
I'm not picking that up. Mm-mm.
- Um... - Chh-ah.
- Of the three people who came across the stage tonight,
You know, I think you were the most unrelatable.
I think you're very, um, special, but I also think
That you're rarefied, but that's not the show.
You can move, you're sexy, you've got a vibe.
You know what to say, but are you the show?
Are you an outcast? Are you an underdog?
You're almost too slick for me,
And I don't see the soft side of you.
- Yeah.
- I think it would have been fascinating
If you would have come out here
And you would have-- if you would have
Just been, um, vulnerable
And emotional as opposed to, you know, russell brand.
I would have been much more interested in that guy.
I want something swoon-worthy from you.
Does that make sense? - Yeah, totally.
- The other thing that I thought was interesting about you
From what I've heard is, when we had the lesson
A couple weeks ago where you were paired with a guy,
You actually said, "I'm not comfortable playing this
Because I'm afraid that they would write me gay."
- Because my parents are so conservative christians
And stuff like that, it's the separation
Between acting and real life, and I understand
That my mom wouldn't want me to be gay.
I get that. She is-- that's how she was raised.
But at the end of the day, like, I told her, I'm like,
"it is acting, you know?
"I don't have to kiss a girl
"and then go fall in love with her.
I can simply do something to make a scene look good."
And she totally understood that,
And she was like, "you know what?
Whatever happens, I'll support you."
And that's--that's really the only thing that bothers me.
- Well, you know, it's interesting,
'cause the reason that I was very interested in cameron
Was because I think that there really is
A great void on this show to be filled,
Which is to write a character who is christian--
- Mm-hmm.
- Who is also a bunch of different things.
Somebody who holds fast to those beliefs,
I think, is an important thing for us to add to the show.
- Completely. - So, where's that guy?
- The back of my neck says "jesus christ," seriously.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I'm interested in the softer side of you,
Like the christian boy side of you,
The religious side of you.
- I feel like, on the show, people have a misconception
Of--of--of what people in high school are.
- That's right.
- They have a misconception about me.
Like, um, you know, I do love god.
I love jesus so much, but at the same time,
Like, I can play rock music.
- Okay, very good. Thank you.
At the end of the day, with these kids,
It's always who's the most talented,
And it's a hard decision
Because I think people will root for hannah
Quicker and more obviously.
- She's made it this far because she's such a great actress.
- Mm-hmm
- And you really--when you see hannah on the screen,
You're just in love with her.
- But lindsay is also on-screen a great actress.
I mean, they're the two actresses...
- Yeah. - Of the bunch.
That's the tough thing. - And sam's great too.
I'm just worried that he can be a little one-dimensional.
- I love both of you guys a lot.
I don't know. It's been really cool.
- I promised myself I would not cry today.
- Oh, get ready.
I really have no idea what's going to happen.
I try to get inside ryan's head
And figure out what he's thinking,
But anything could happen.
- I feel--I feel that we have become a family, and--
- Absolutely.
- To be absolutely honest,
I am really preparing myself to go home
'cause I just feel like I just did horribly.
- I don't know who should go.
- It's very clear to me. - All right, let's hit it.
[ ♪ ]
- Hey, everybody.
It's really, really hard, but the list is up,
So go take a look.
[muffled conversation]
[overlapping chatter] - you're my inspiration.
- Love you, guys.
- I want to win this competition more than I want to breathe,
More than I want to exist.
I believe I want this more than anyone here.
- Being here is such a surreal experience,
And I don't want it to end,
So I really would like to make it to the end.
- I want this more than anything,
And I feel like I've worked really hard for it,
So I hope that I am safe.
- [exhales]
[groans]
- Shoot.
- This has been the most wonderful experience
I could ever ask for, honestly.
It's been my dream for a very long time to be on glee,
And, um, I mean, right now, it kind of feels like
That dream is over, but I know
That only good is going to come of this.
It's definitely the best thing that's ever happened to me.
