'Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious': Give peace a chance
We're coming down the home stretch. It's the penultimate episode of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious and we learn if all the girls can put aside their differences and work as a group. Don't hold your breath.
Spoilers
After last week's elimination, Charlye, Nichole and Tiffanie talk about how Carrie shouldn't have gone home and insinuated that Natalie or Chrystina should've gone instead. As soon as they got home, the those two went into their room and shut all the doors while the other three went romping about the house. Tiffanie remarks that Natalie and Chrystina talk a lot of trash but can't take it.
The next morning, Nichole is doing her hair in a giant mirror alongside Natalie and Chrystina who are talking about how some girls (read: themselves) are prettier than the others and that gives them an edge. Naturally Nichole tells the other girls, which gets them in a but ruffled.
The oddly shot video comes on in the living room and introduces this week's challenge - Public Image. Natalie is stoked because she's the queen of playing herself up. They meet with Robin and the talent team and are told that they'll be performing "Buttons" in one group as well "How Many Times, How Many Lies." Both are Pussycat Doll songs because it's all about cross-promotion. Robin says that they should really work together and try to vibe so she forces them to group hug.
Dance rehearsal is way rough. Their energy is low and they're gelling at all so co-choreographer Mikey Minden really cracks the whip. During vocal rehearsal, Kenn Hicks has Tiffanie and Chrystina harmonize during one part. Kenn also notices the tension and tells them they have to make it work. He tells them that it's not about who's got what part, it's about how they come together as a group. This forced teamwork thing may just explode like a Michael Bay movie.
Robin tells them that their challenge will be handling a media tour including a radio and television interviews. The radio portion is first. Tiffanie and Natalie field the "You guys are fighting for the same dream" and "What if you're in a group of people you don't get along with" questions well. They're then asked to sing live and everyone does well...until Chrystina forgets her lyrics. That's not a surprise because she's had that problem in rehearsals for weeks.
Next up is the TV interview on Extra with Mark McGrath, meaning he gets 5 extra minutes of screen time this week. Chrystina chokes again, poor thing. Robin comes over to the couch and lets them know that they'll each be filming a promo with Mark - a test to see how well they deal with the teleprompter and putting some personality to it. All the girls did well, though Tiffanie flirted a bit with Mark afterwards which got a face from Robin, though I don't know what the face meant.
Back at the house, Robin lets them know the winner of the challenge - it's Natalie. She doesn't get immunity but she does get the honor of her promo being shown on TV.
Afterwards, the girls gather together and agree to get over their issues and come together as a group. They sit around and hash it out and finally reach a peace accord. Well, everyone but Charlye and it really shows as they rehearse afterwards.
It's performance day and the girls sing "How Many Times, How Many Lies" first. Charlye starts the song off, then Tiffanie, Nichole, Natalie, and Chrystina. You know, something about the live performances has really been bothering me for weeks. I know they're singing live but there's something about the way the audio sounds that makes it seem pre-recorded or dubbed or something. It's annoying. At any rate, the first number sounded really good. After a set and wardrobe change, the girls perform "Buttons." It was good...I think. It was shot weird so I couldn't really see the dance steps. All the girls got good remarks, though Charlye was tagged for not really meshing with the group.
During elimination, Natalie is saved first followed by Tiffanie and Nichole. Charlye is told by Robin that they're impressed by her singing and dancing and such but question whether her heart is really into it. Chrystina is told that they can tell that she really wants this but maybe there hasn't been enough time for her talent to mature.
Chrystina haas been told that she's been saved. The girls all cry for various reasons and go out and hug...and then Robin says that Charlye is safe too. They couldn't decide who to give the boot so they're pushing both girls through.
So, next week is the finale. Should Charlye have been sent home for not joining the peace accord or do you like the idea of a "Final Five," a second chance for everybody? Who do you think should be in the group?
i think charlye needs to stay. Chrystina is way to insecure to be out in the public eye.

shauna | Apr 17, 2008 3:50:04 AM | #I think that everybody will be in it. They couldn't kick a girl tonight and they are going to kick 2 on the finale?
Homer | Apr 17, 2008 5:15:28 AM | #Keeping five girls in creates more suspense for the finale. Plus it would really suck to be the last one out on your own, so better to get rid of the last two at once! In some ways it was just delaying the inevitable though, since I think Charlye and Christina are still doomed and Natalie, Tiffani and Nichole will form the group.
AA | Apr 17, 2008 9:54:26 AM | #Chrystina, Natalie and Tiffany should be girlicious. No doubt in my mind. These girls have the X factor. Nicole's too Beverly Hills and Charley needs anger management.
| Apr 17, 2008 11:51:46 AM | #I also agree that it should be Chrystina, Natalie and Tiffany. That group would be awesome. I know what you mean about the Star factor. You either got it or you don't. These three have it!

Starr | Apr 17, 2008 11:58:13 AM | #I'm just about certain that Nicole will stay. I hope that Natalie will, I love her. GOODBYE Charlie, she's to much of a bitch..
Genoa | Apr 17, 2008 1:48:23 PM | #I think Robin has fire ants in her pussy.
Wolfie | Apr 17, 2008 4:40:26 PM | #Nicole, Natalie, and Christina, any other way is wack!

D | Apr 17, 2008 5:15:25 PM | #I think the wrong thing will be to put Nathalie with chrystina with another girl in girlicious.they will make a living hell to that girl's life. i am not optimist about the group going that far in the industry and in their team work, pretending at the end that they want to be a team will not erase in the public eyes all the harsh ,b@#*&,mean they said and think about each other.If they get to watch the entire season and see what they said about each other they will always keep that in the back of their minds . I really don't believe it is healthy for a group to start on that shaky ,hateful ground.
Also i have a trouble with Nathalie's personna she has no humility and tend to act like she rules the world with her beauty and her talent and pouting her lips... the X factor might work but deep inside i think it is a big O.
Chrystina will not go to the final round and if she does...all those people(producers, robin, the geffen records guy) are messed up .The girl can't even stand out in the public eye(the radio show and tv thing). she is not friend with any of the girls besides Nathalie(who also serves as an armor).she can't even be professional enough to suck it up and work with others, and her insecurity does not show any professionalim from her.
Charlye disappointed me not willing to go with the other girl new "team spirit" thing.she is better than chrystina but that will probably cost her to act like that.also just relying on robin's "love"for her will not carry her very far.
I love Tiffanie and nichole and that is really the 2 girls that should be in girlicious...for the lil time that group "shines" out there
The only girl that I think stands out is Nichole. She has a great voice. Although, no matter who Robin picks for the group.. I doubt they will go very far maybe a semi popular single or two. Robin is hoping to re-create the magic that she hit with The Pussycat Dolls, and it just won't work... not the way she's hoping. Something like that is rare. Besides, from the looks of the show..there aren't really any 3 girls that would make it work for long.
Brandibunny | Apr 18, 2008 2:47:51 PM | #I understand wanting to make the finale more suspenseful, but it was RIDICULOUS that Chrystina wasn't sent home last night! She screwed up her song on the radio, couldn't speak articulately, and she's been inconsistent in both her singing and her dancing since she started. And WHAT is with Natalie thinking she's so beautiful? I don't get it! She's not ugly, but she's certainly nothing special, and her makeup is always so trashy. As long as Tiffanie and Nichole end up in Girlicious, I'll be happy...
Liz | Apr 18, 2008 7:59:19 PM | #I think that Robin should have sent home Chrystina shes so wack. She thinks shes better then everyone and is always jealous when he spotlight is on one of the other girls. So if she makes it to the group I dont think she would last she will go insane b/c the other girls are getting attention. I really do hope the group is Nichole, Tiffanie,and Charlye...but I bet Robin is going to put them all in the group since they said theres going to be a twist or suprise or some shyt.
Sherry | Apr 19, 2008 5:57:27 PM | #It seems as if everyone agrees that Nichole is in the group. I think Tiffanie & Charley should be the other 2. I agree with the poster who commented that Natalie isn't as beautiful as she thinks. She is pretty, but there are tons of pretyy girls. Her front teeth are really strange; they buck out somewhat. They totally distract from her looks.
Mary | Apr 21, 2008 1:26:54 PM | #I think charley should stay cuz she rocks. Chrystina sucks and shes gonna suck in a group. If charley isnt in the group and chrystina is I will not buy one single song !
BAYBAY | Apr 21, 2008 5:27:40 PM | #I get lap dance now from Natalie, and Chrystina,
