THE GLEE PROJECT: Week 3

This week, THE GLEE PROJECT did a complete 180. Whereas last week, the contestants were asked to go big or go home by being theatrical, in this episode, they had to rein everything in and bring out their biggest insecurities.

Before I get to that, though, I have to say, I loved Dot-Marie Jones (Coach Bieste) as a mentor. She was not afraid to call people out and also gave Matheus great advice during their one-on-one session. And, for the first time, I agreed with the winner! So, for me, the homework session was great all around!

This week’s recap will be a little different. I think it would be unfair to call out what was good and what was bad when these kids were asked to expose what they were most unsure of in themselves – I would feel straight up judgmental. What I am going to do is give my opinion about how well I thought the contestants portrayed their vulnerability and note what they wore on their boards during the music video challenge.

As 24 players race through the all-new qualifier, the hotties will take some amazing falls while the nerds take some blundering tumbles, but only the final three will earn a spot in the Wipeout Zone. The hotties and nerds will run through the Wipeout Carwash, which soaks up contestants before the wax is applied — Wipeout-style. After the field is narrowed to 12, Total Carnage makes its debut, a new stunt that definitely lives up to its name.
