The Glee Project: This is Our Show

This season on “The Glee Project:” Fourteen—rather than twelve—Gleekabes competed for a role on “Glee.” Mentored by Glee cast members, they sang for their survival. Well, except Taryn who quit the show. They dealt with bullying, Zach’s dance class, Ryan’s moods, stunts in the name of tenacity and other nonsense to achieve fame. One by one, they were eliminated—until the last episode where both Michael and Lily fell short of the finale. Three Gleekabes—Bland, Ali and Aylin—remain. Who will Ryan and his hat choose to be on Glee? Find out!

The Glee Project: I'm Still Standing

Last time on “The Glee Project”: Darren Criss showed up to see how well the Gleekabes could romance each other. Bland did the best and got a stand out in the video “We Found Love.” But in a twist, Michael excelled in the studio while Bland floundered. Michael even did well on the shoot, which the judges attributed partly to partner Lily. Aylin and Shanna struggled playing lesbians and landed in the bottom two with Bland. In the end, Shanna was eliminated by Ryan. Five Gleekabes remain, find out who will not make it to the finals which are NEXT WEEK OMG!

The Glee Project: We Found Love in a Hopeless Place

Last time on “The Glee Project”: The week’s theme was BLAKE CAN DO NO WRONG! Actually, it was tenacity and Amber Riley (Mercedes) decided Ali was the most tenacious Gleekabe. She got a lead role in the video for “Eye of the Tiger,” which featured an obstacle course to be completed in one take. The Gleekabes struggled, especially with double Dutch and shooting a basketball. In the end, the bottom three was Michael, Lily and Abraham. After the last chance performances, Abraham came out to make a last stand that was more of a tantrum. It sealed his fate and he was eliminated. Six Gleekabes remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

The Glee Project: I’m a Survivor

Last time on “The Glee Project”: Grant Gustin had nothing to do, so he stopped by to judge the remaining Gleekabes on theatricality. They perform “I Hope I Get It” from “A Chorus Line” and he chooses Ali as the winner. She gets a standout moment in the video, “When I Grow Up.” Her Katy Perry is safe as was Shanna’s Lady Gaga, Bland’s Boy George and Aylin’s Madonna. Michael struggled but his Elvis saved him, leaving the bottom three of Abraham, who struggled to embrace the androgyny of David Bowie; Lily, who didn’t play Cyndi Lauper; and Nellie, who was uncomfortable being sexy as Britney Spears. In the end, Nellie’s insecurity was her downfall and she was sent home. Seven Gleekabes remain, who will go down tonight? Find out!

The Glee Project: Be Careful What You Wish For, Because You Might Just Get It

Last week on “The Glee Project”: It was fearlessness week! The Gleekabes had to rap for the awesome Jane Lynch, who chose Lily to be the challenge winner. The Gleekabes performed a mash up of “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and “One Way or Another” and were way too excited to be hit with slushies. Ali struggled with being hit by the cold concoction due to her condition but braved it like a trooper. She and Lily, a standout in the video, were put on the callback list while Charlie, Aylin and Nellie landed in the bottom 3. Nellie was told to be more outgoing, Aylin was told to remain focused on her competition and Ryan questioned if Charlie could fit in on the Glee set. In the end, the budding romance between Aylin and Charlie suffered a devastating blow when he was eliminated. Eight Gleekabes remain, who is eliminated tonight? Find out!

The Glee Project: Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Last week on “The Glee Project:” The Gleekabes were tested on their ability to adapt by Kevin McHale (Artie). They had to sing the entirety of “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morrisette and Kevin picked Aylin as the winner. She got a stand out role in the video, “Price Tag” by Jessie J, which no one knew until they arrived at the recording studio. Abraham and Ali struggle in the booth while Mario and Bland struggle on set. The judges struggle with getting Charlie to mesh with the group and Nellie to “pop” in the group. At the reveal, the judges put six people through to perform duets for Ryan Murphy. He chose a bottom three of Abraham, Charlie and Mario before cutting Mario for not taking criticism well. Nine Gleekabes remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

The Glee Project: It's Not About the Money

Last time on “The Glee Project": It was sexuality week! And of course that meant a visit from Naya Rivera (Santana Lopez). She chose Charlie as the winner in the homework challenge. But he was all over the set of their mashup of “Moves Like Jagger” and “Milkshake,” annoying Erik. It lands him in the bottom 3 along with Michael and Tyler. After performing for Ryan, it was Tyler who was sent home for not being quite comfortable in his new body yet. Ten Gleekabes remain, who is sent home tonight? Find out!


Glee!

The Glee Project: Moves Like Jagger

Last time on “The Glee Project:” It was a tough week with the topic of vulnerability. Cory Monteith dropped by and gave actual acting tips before choosing Nellie as the homework challenge winner. The Gleekabes talked about their bullying experiences and used them for their video for “Hold On.” Lily ended up in the bottom three due to poor lip syncing skills. Charlie ended up there for a poor blocking choice (AKA steal Mario’s cane). Mario rounded out the bottom three because he had an attitude. In the end, Ryan decided to keep them all. So once again, 11 Gleekabes remain. Will someone get eliminated tonight? Find out!

The Glee Project: Hold On

Last time on “The Glee Project”: Taryn decided she had had enough and was too homesick to continue with the competition. Her departure was told via placard. And I realized why it annoyed me. Everything said in the placard was repeated by Robert Ulrich and was more effective. Anyway, one of last year’s winners—Samuel Larsen—judged the Gleekabes on their dancing skills. Abraham won but the video was a complete mess. It was decided that Dani, Lily and Tyler were the worst of the worst. In the end, Dani was sent home for being too “one-note” AKA Ryan realized he couldn’t base a seven episode arc on a Justin Bieber contest between Sam and Dani. Wait, that actually would’ve been cool. Anyway, eleven Gleekabes remain, who doesn’t make the list tonight? Find out!


The Glee Project!

The Glee Project: Shake It!

Last time on The Glee Project: The 14 contestants explored their new house and got to know each other. Robert Ulrich gave them their homework assignment which they performed for Ryan Murphy and guest mentor Lea Michele. Shanna won the homework challenge, winning a session with Lea and a standout performance in the music video. Aylin, Tyler and Maxfield end up in the bottom 3 with Maxfield being the first to go with not being as amazing as the other Gleekabes. Who goes tonight? Find out!


Glee!

The Glee Project: Here We Go Again!

And The Glee Project returns! We recap Damian and Samuel’s win as well as Alex and Lindsay’s consolation prizes. The poor narrator has to rattle off all 14 names in his hyperactive tone. I am so glad to see Nikki Anders is in the judging panel now.


Our Justin Bieber lookalike arrives first—but she shall henceforth be called “Dani.” Charlie is the next person in, followed by Abraham. I like his red mohawk. He doesn’t want to be kicked off week one. Ali wheels in—yes, she’s our wheelchair bound contestant. Everyone is excited to see Lily Mae come in next as Dani tries to wonder who else made it. They say “Mario” but the next people in aren’t Mario…and when he comes in, everyone is so excited. He says he’s a talented cute guy who is blind. Shanna is surprised there are 14 rather than 12 like last time. The Gleekabes (yes, I’m still calling them that) go through their house as Ali goes over everyone’s sob story. Ali: Paralyzed, Mario: Blind, Tyler: Transgender, Maxfield: Just…started…singing? Tyler says the other Gleekabes are wonderful especially as he’s transgendered. Aylin is happy to have 7 hot guys around.

Glee and Glee Project Update

Hey, Gleeks! Glee returns for its 3rd season tonight on FOX at 8PM EDT. (Check local listings if you don't live in the eastern time zone).

Ryan Murphy has confirmed through Entertainment Weekly that Glee Project runner-up Lindsay will be in the premiere, the first of her two-episode win. No word on when Alex's is or Lindsay's second episode. I follow some of the Gleekabes on Twitter and when they can, they usually post updates.

From what I've been able to gather, I believe Damian will be the first winner to debut on Glee. This will be sometime in October. It's been confirmed that he will be an exchange student who will be staying with Brittany's family. This was first hinted by a tweet from Damian's fish (don't ask) who asked that Lord Tubbington not eat him. I have no information on Samuel's first airdate, but do know that his character is a relative of Puck's.

Happy watching!

Don’t Stop Believing!

This past season on The Glee Project: Thousands of hopefuls auditioned, but twelve finalists made it to the show. They had to survive homework challenges, guest judges, choreography with Zach, vocals with Nikki, videos with Erik and performances for Ryan Murphy. They survived Lindsay’s ability to talk, Alex’s diva tendencies, Damian’s accent, Cameron quitting and Samuel stealing Hannah’s thing. Eight Gleekabes were eliminated and Ryan began to look more and more like a douche in viewers’ eyes. Last week, no one got eliminated. So who wins tonight? Find out!

Glee!

Sing It Out!

Last week on “The Glee Project”: Believability. Jenna chose Hannah as the winner of the homework challenge, giving her a larger role in the video. Alex breaks down in the studio, causing Nikki to play therapist. Lindsay next goes in and starts crying, causing Nikki to call her fake. During the video, Zach made fun of Damian’s eyebrows while Samuel just went to that intense place again. Damian was safe though while Samuel had to sing for Ryan along with Hannah and Lindsay. Despite winning the assignment, Hannah was sent packing. Who doesn’t make the final tonight? Find out!

Glee!

You Are the Only Exception

Last week on The Glee Project: Mark Salling and Ashley Fisk showed up to judge the final six Gleekabes on their sexuality. Samuel won and he was paired with Alex for “Teenage Dream.” Damian and Lindsay steamed up the shoot together. Cameron though was not thrilled with his sexy food fight scene with Hannah and refused to kiss her. Damian, Alex and Cameron ended up in the bottom three. Cameron though decided to walk away from the competition, saving Damian. Five Gleekabes remain, can you feel the tension skyrocket? Who goes home tonight? Find out!

Glee!

I Made It Through the Wilderness…

Last time on The Glee Project: Everyone got slushied! Courtesy of Max “Karofsky” Adler! They did a mash up of “Under Pressure” and “Ice, Ice Baby”. Unfortunately, Cameron and Alex failed to connect while Marissa was only good, not great. But Marissa failed to impress Ryan and she was sent home. Six Gleekabes remain—who doesn’t get a gold star tonight? Find out!

Glee!

Hate on Me…

Last time on “The Glee Project”: It was time for duets! Marissa won the homework challenge and got to pick her partner. She chose Samuel and the two sang “Don’t You Want Me, Baby”. Damian and Matheus teamed up for “Lady is a Tramp” while Alex donned drag to sing “Nowadays” with Hannah. After Marissa kisses Samuel in their video, Lindsay plants one on Cameron during “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” He calls mom after freaking out but it’s Matheus who goes home. Seven Gleekabes remain, who sings their way home tonight? Find out!

Glee!

Don’t You Want Me, Baby?

Last time on “The Glee Project”: Recently-promoted-to-full-time cast member Harry Shum Jr (“Mike Chang” or “Other Asian”) stopped by to judge the Gleekabes on their ability to dance. Unsurprisingly, Damian didn’t win. Samuel won after cribbing Michael Jackson’s moves and then he cribbed Hannah’s form of “rapping” in the studio. Alex thought this was his to lose but when he does lose, he says he threw it so others could shine. This attitude lands him in the bottom three with Matheus and McKynleigh. Alex hits the high notes and Matheus takes off his shirts allowing both to stay. Despite showing a personality, McKynleigh got the cut. Eight Gleekabes remain, find out who gets slusheed tonight!

Glee!

Can’t Touch This!

Last time on “The Glee Project”: Dot-Marie Jones showed up to judge the Gleekabes ability to be vulnerable. Matheus won and got the spotlight in the “Mad World” video. The “Mad World” video had the kids walking around with something that made them feel vulnerable. Emily revealed she had spent time on the casting couch while Marissa revealed she had battled anorexia. This was not discussed again as Cameron, Emily and Damian fell into the bottom three. Cameron and Damian were saved while Emily was sent packing. Nine Gleekabes remain, who will go home tonight?

Glee!

Please Don’t Leave…

Last week on “The Glee Project”: Theatricality! And who better to help them then a guest judge with a Tony Award. Idina Menzel, who played Shelby on the show, judged a performance of “Bad Romance” and chose Alex to be the winner. He got a starring role in the video “We’re Not Gonna Take It”. Ellis had difficulty with the choreography and her attitude, fought with Lindsay and subsequently landed in the bottom three. She was joined by McKynleigh and Matheus. However, despite McKynleigh being told Ryan didn’t know how to write for her, Ellis’ attitude led to her being cut. Ten Gleekabes remain, who will go home tonight?
