COMMENTS AND INTERVIEWS
Auditioning to be a Pussycat Doll is the biggest
risk I've ever taken. My parents didn't approve of
this career because they're both doctors. And I do
wanna show my dad that there are different ways to
be successful. - Melissa R.
Competition is fierce. I did notice one girl. Her
name is Asia and she's competition. - Melissa R.
I feel like my competition is Melissa R. because
I feel like we kinda look similar. It frustrates me
because I don't wanna be equal to nobody. - Asia
So of all the girls that I've noticed, I noticed
Asia and that she's my competition. But like they
say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
- Melissa R.
I think that you're beautiful and you're a great
dancer. You're super funky. - Robin
Well, for me, you're the full package. And if I were
one of those girls, I would be intimidated. - Mikey
I get to choose to be another Pussycat Doll is once
in a million. Like a chance in a lifetime. It's my
passion and my dream and I'm actually good at it (I'm
not sure if I heard this right especially the first
part). - Melissa R.

JUST A THOUGHT
Obviously, Melissa R. has become one of the favorites.
Eventhough she has lesser airtime compared to Asia,
Sisely, Chelsea and Shauntae, her dance moves and unique
voice captured the eyes of many. Even the judges were
impressed of her. She'll definitely go far. I hope she
wins. - KC |

COMMENTS AND INTERVIEWS
I'm going to put my socks right here (on the bed)
and make it smell. Now it's mine! - Melissa R.
Are you kidding me? No, I don't
I do not do
that. - Melissa R. (on dancing @ club Basque)
Oh my gosh. My parents are gonna see me. My priest
is gonna watch us. - Melissa R.
I think that you are like so funky and I love your
voice. I love the tone of your voice and I know that
if you stay in this competition, you have a lot of
potential to grow and you'll go so far. - Robin
I feel like she has the most potential. - Robin
She wasn't really owning it but I still think she
belongs in this competition. - Ron

JUST A THOUGHT
Melissa R. has the least airtime. She seldom gets
to comment on something. I know she's not a drama queen
unlike those who have issues on almost everything. But
the camera loves her. We need to see more of her. We
had enough of girls who dances but can't sing or girls
who sings but can't dance. How about the one who could
do both? Besides, isn't this what the show is all about?
Full package? When she did the group performance, she
was so good. She was able to show off her talent once
again. I thought, at first, that they were lip-synching
but I was wrong. That's how good they were. They were
amazing. - KC |

COMMENTS AND INTERVIEWS
After the elimination, we went home and everyone
was shaken up and exhausted. And then, there were
8. - Melissa R.
Sicely didn't seem in to the makeover. She is feeling
very pressured this week. - Melissa R.
I heard you better. This wasn't your finest hour
as a singer. - Ron
I'm nervous because they said that one of the girls
in the weakest group is gonna be eliminated and I
feel that my group is the weakest group so I am definitely
nervous. - Melissa R.
I love the sound of her voice and I love the way
that she dances. - Robin
She got a really good voice but she did not sing
well tonight at all. - Ron

JUST A THOUGHT
Is it just me or Robin really likes Melissa R. a
lot. Everytime she performs, Robin looks happy and impressed.
And even if it was her off night, Robin still sees her
potential as a singer and dancer. Actually, it wasn't
really her fault that their group didn't deliver. Like
what everyone was saying, Heartbreaker is not a group
song. But Melissa still rock! - KC |

COMMENTS AND INTERVIEWS
I saw you dropped your boa
a little messy.
- Robin
You know, I don't think you are inside the attitude
maybe because you guys are too young to know where
this really came from. - Ron
I think that she has a lot of potential. - Robin
She has just a sort of deer in headlight thing that
she has to overcome (???). She looses her juice. Well,
she's young. - Ron

JUST A THOUGHT
Melissa R. ends up performing in the weaker group.
But even if it gives us the worry, she always gets her
way out because the judges know where she really belongs.
They save her first. She maybe unlucky with the groupings
and the song choice but she still stands out. |

COMMENTS AND INTERVIEWS
We are like trying to stand up and dance. But the
whole time, we are like falling down to each other
like colliding, arms everywhere, legs everywhere,
feet, hair flying. It's like crazy. - Melissa R.
It's just nerveracking because we just learned the
song today and learned choreography today. We just
got our wardrobe. I guess this is what you do when
you are a celebrity. You know, like last minute performance.
- Melissa R.
Melissa R. is my biggest competition but I feel,
when it's based on performing, I'm a better performer.
When it's based on dancing, I'm a better dancer. -
Asia
I'm sorry. I was just thinking of my grandma. I tried
to hold it myself but it's kinda hard. - Melissa R.
You did an incredible performance. I mean, I felt
that this was the best performance of this competition
for you. - Robin
It's great to be sensitive and to be feeling and
I think it's a beautiful thing but not when your in
battle field of showbiz.You can't
allow any noise to enter into your brain when you
are in the middle of a performance. - Ron
What I want to tell you is try your best to not stop
singing. You know what I mean? Trust me, I know because
I have to perform literally two weeks after Biggie
died so try not to stop singing. because something
amazing could come out of that emotion. - Li'l Kim
She can sing. She can dance. She's the whole package.
- Robin

JUST A THOUGHT
I admit, I thought she'll be eliminated because
of her breakdown. The performance was good but I don't
think the judges appreciated how she dealt with her
feelings. Well, I guess, you can't really hide how you
were brought up. While others are trying to be a diva,
she is thinking of her loved ones. Very unselfish and
impressive. |

COMMENTS AND INTERVIEWS
From all the PCD, I think relate to Melody the most.
She's the youngest. She became a Pussycat Doll when
she was 18. I'm 18. I
totally love Melody's style and I know I could learn
so much from her. - Melissa R.
I have some boob pads that a lot of dancers wear
to make themselves look sexier. But I'm still not
comfortable wearing them around. - Melissa R.
This PCD hopeful knew she has a bright future. Melissa
R saw the sun come out at a tender age of 9, rocking
up trophies left and right, singing Annie's Tomorrow
at countless talent shows. - Caress Trivia
I'm goofy. I'm not afraid to express myself. - Melissa
R.
I'm getting closer to becoming a PCD and now its
getting so real. And it's scary. I'd always been sheltered
but if I win this, my whole life is gonna change.
- Melissa R.
I'm concentrating on my performance and just being
myself, who I am, and letting the crowd see that.
I hope my parents are proud of me for this. - Melissa
R.
All I meant was misery loves company. And I definitely
didnt mean to say Chelsea was a bad dancer. But I
think that's what Melissa S. meant. - Melissa R.
I know I should be happy right now but being treated
like were PCD kinda scared me a little bit. I am young
and I'm still trying to find myself. But at the same
time, it just feels overwhelming. I'm forgetting about
what my morals are. I'm forgetting who I am. I want
to take things slower.- Melissa R.
My mind is like broken puzzle. It just scares me.
You know like people judge. I just want to do it.
Just to do it. Like I don't care about the money.
I don't care about the fame. I don't care about all
that. - Melissa R.
You really showed your own style which what the PCD
is all about. It looks like Melissa was relaxed. -
Robyn
Melissa R. is so good, her facials, her body movement.
She just embodied everything that it takes to be a
PCD. And that's why she won the challenge. - Mikey
I'm just glad I'm not going home for the eliminitaion
round. I'm safe and that's all I need to know for
now. - Melissa R.
I have to say, this was the one you've nailed because,
in rehearsal, you were having a few issues here and
there and to me, you nailed it. - Robyn
I'm really nervous about doing the old school PCD
because it's really sexy and once again, i do not
know what my parents would think.

JUST A THOUGHT
It was long overdue but finally, she was acknowledged
for her talent and won the challenge. And take note,
she has more screen time now. She owns this episode
performancewise - a definite doll performance. |
