Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious [Episode 3]
March 5, 2008
Hey, Robin Antin - why so glum?
After all, there's a whole lotta sexy you have to build a HOT NEW GIRL GROUP (TM) with!
See? Things aren't so bad.
This week's episode begins with a slight feeling of dread, as Ilisa confesses that she thought she would be the one leaving last week, on account of her oddball-ism. She's not sure if being an amazonian ginger is a plus, a minus, or both. Chrystina agrees that Ilisa should have gone home, simply because she doesn't mesh well with the other girls. On the other hand, Chrystina believes in herself as the cream of the crop in the competition. Cue photos from her youth. You know what that means ... bottom 2, y'all! By the by, Chrystina's uncle and father were in the NFL, which can only mean that she's also meant to be in the limelight. OBviously.
Can we rewind to that super saucy photo of Alexis? Let's compare.
Believe in the powers of make-up and lighting. Anyway, Alexis fills us in on her life story as well, and modestly shares with us that she's an overachiever. Goes to USC, is pre-dental, drinks wine, has a D cup, yada, yada, yada. This means that she will also be bottom 2.
PCD mail! What is up with these Nicole-less group shots?
Not sure if you heard, but Carmit is no longer with the group. Every Carmit-filled week will only add to the gaping hole I feel in my heart. Anyhooters, according to the video, this week's theme is *~*CHARISMA*~*. Every time I hear this word, I think of Charisma Carpenter.
Robin designates team captains based on last week's top performers. Then, the captains pick teams, schoolyard stylies. Guess who's stuck as last pick?
:-( I don't know - there's something so likable about Ilisa, but maybe she's not Girlicious material - based on Robin's definition. Not that I want to agree with Natalie, who later declares that Ilisa "just isn't girlicious enough." Just like your FACE, Natalie. Just like your face.
The groups are like so:
Charlye (Captain), Tiffanie, Nichole - "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'"
Chrystina (Captain), Natalie, Jenna, Ilisa - "Respect"
Carrie (Captain), Jamie, Alexis, Nichole - "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
Problems at the hen house - vocal coach Kenn says that Chrystina's "pushy" voice makes him uncomfortable. Alexis is having troubs with the funky dance moves, cause she's classically trained. Thank you episode 3 for reminding us of the future bottom 2.
We hadn't heard from Natalie up til this point, but her late delivery of bitchery par excellence is still piping hot. She says that it's hard having Ilisa in the group cause she doesn't blend in with her red hair. Seriously. And I quote: "Red hair and all, and being all tall, she just kind of like, stands out. Like a sore thumb... everybody knows that Ilisa's not gonna be a part of Girlicious." And everybody knows that you're a douche. See you next Tuesday.
Chrystina pipes in to say that Ilisa is an oddball, and imagines Girlicious to be "girly" (GASP!). A bikini conference of Natalie, Chrystina and Jenna discuss the cons of Ilisa's existence. Chrys: "She says the weirdest things, it makes everybody feel uncomfortable." Natalie: "She's just so weird, like the way she wipes her face." I totally get it. I once de-friended someone because of how they wiped their face, too.
Ilisa tells us that she has Arrhythmia Tachycardia, which means her heart beats over 100x a minute, and she's prone to fainting. The first time she fainted, she was unconscious for 30 minutes and was pronounced dead. Scary stuff. Her plight is enhanced with the always effective "sufferer at piano" visual:
"I realize my purpose is to touch people with my music." Maybe Girlicious isn't that avenue, then?
After the break, Ilisa sits down with Natalie and Chrystina to question why people don't like her. "I just want people to like me for me." Natalie tells her that she has a "lack of knowing how to get along with girls." Later, Nat says that Ilisa is trying to force chemistry, which is impossible. "You have to be yourself." Dude. That's what she's been DOING THE WHOLE TIME, and you're the one who has a problem with that!
Breathe. Robin takes the girls to a listening party, where they'll hear Nicole Scherzinger's mystery solo album. Nicole surprises them all with a performance of "Just Say Yes", which she says is straight from the heart. Then she reads the lyrics from a piece of paper.
Maybe not, but that's what it looks like!
What's up with the crying bitches?
Nicole Scherzinger isn't supposed to make you cry, silly. She's supposed to make you question her solo efforts. She tells the girls that they have to find and understand charisma, and that they can't be afraid of who they are. You hear that, Ilisa!
Robin announces the challenge: each group will perform "I Don't Need A Man" for a group of kids - their target audience.
The kids will then critique each girl, and the one who exhibits the most charisma will be safe from elimination. After the performances, our contestants watch the kid comments from a private viewing room. They like Nichole, they think Charlye is unmemorable, Carrie's dancing needs work, Jenna looked bored on stage, Alexis wasn't memorable and Chrystina needs to put in more effort. Tiffanie is surprised that the kids were "so critical and intelligent. They're worse than Ron Fair!" Then, something apparently amazing happens, judging by these reactions:
The kids totally LOVED Ilisa! They ate her up! They thought she was amazing! TAKE THAT, NATALIE! Oh. Except then the kids also loved Natalie. And then they choose her as the challenge winner. Oh.
Fine then. Tiffanie says that Natalie's very pretty, and she's got big boobs, and that maybe if she stuck out her own boobs, she mighta won. Yes, because that's what all 11-year-old girls want. Then Ilisa is like, "even though I didn't win the challenge, I still won." Aww.
Later, Ilisa fills the house in on her life story, so that they may better understand her. She shows them the scar from her implanted defibrillator; they are impressed and moved.
Then of course, Natalie has to ruin the moment by telling the camera that just because Ilisa is a survivor, it doesn't mean it'll change the way Nat interacts with her. HAVE YOU NO HEART?! Also, she says that one cannot be "tomboylicious" to be in "girlicious". Natalie is a hater.
At the PCD Lounge, the groups prepare for performances. Up first, Charlye's group sings "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'". Tiffanie kills it.
And she'll kill you, too.
And she'll like it.
The judges agree: the performance was swell. Next up - Carrie's group with "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun".
Kim is all:
And Ron is all:
And that is a very good thing. I don't know about you, but I find his excitement contagious! It's true, they're very good this week - even Jamie and Cassandra, who normally can't sing.
Then Chrystina's group sings "Respect", and they're generally well-liked by the judges as well. So what group is in danger?! No group, that's who. The judges decide that since each group was good, they'll evaluate individually instead.
So it comes down to Nichole, Jenna, Chrystina and Alexis as the bottom 4. Nichole needs to tighten up her performance, but she's safe. Jenna needs to put more effort into her onstage presence, but she's safe.
And so, we have the predicted Chrystina and Alexis in the bottom 2. The judges wonder how many chances they can give Chrystina to shine, and Alexis just doesn't have that "star power" (even though Ron said that about her in episode one). (Oh, and by the way, "star power" is this series' very own "the camera loves you" - like that phrase is to Top Model, the judges throw "star power" around like crazy).
So Alexis is the bootee (booty?), and she says that she'll miss the friendships most. Also: now has the confidence to know she has talent, and maybe she should re-think the whole dental school thing. Nuh uh, honey.
Next week: MAKEOVERS! *squeal*
Comments
Why are they keeping natalie in pcd boot camp I mean shes a real bicth no one would want to be stuck in a group with her maybe chrystina n even there if she wins the group wont last long

Posted by: booger at March 5, 2008 05:59 PM
Oops - don't know why I wrote it like I had it, when I've SEEN THE EPISODE THREE TIMES! Ha. Yeesh!
Posted by: wendy at March 5, 2008 07:05 PM
aww i actually like Natalie.
she has potential.. but she needs to work on her singing and her attitude
...also to be brutally honest.. i like Ilisa BUT shes just not going to be in Girlicious.. she should write amazing songs and go solo.. she would be amazing at that.. actually. she kinda reminds me of Amy Lee....
good job wendy.. rly entertaining to read
Posted by: Jenn at March 5, 2008 10:32 PM
I don't mind this show at all, I just think its a waste for the fact we all know these girls are doing this for nothing, whatever happend to the PCD with the new girl?? Now there all quitting and the poor girl never got to do nothing.

Posted by: Ashton at March 7, 2008 11:31 AM
I think Natalie should go home...to my house ;)
Posted by: Jay at March 7, 2008 01:02 PM
I wish that the show would tell it like it really is instead of cutting and editing. Take it as a grain of salt.
Posted by: nass at March 7, 2008 01:17 PM
Natalie and Chrystina should both go home. It is obvious that they could never work in a group. It surprises someone like Robin Antin who is a pro at putting groups together can't see this. Wouldn't want my kids to look up to two girls like that. Apparently they aren't looking for professionalism in this group. Imagine thinking you are better than Madonna.
Posted by: icequeen at March 7, 2008 01:37 PM
i think Ilisa is great she is unique and thats what a fresh girl group needs not those people who will not take risks, and have the same diva attitude and have the same boring look that we always see these days like natalie. I personally don't like natalie I think she is over cofident, cocky and needs to get the fact in her head that it is not a solo career it is a girl group and you must work with the other girls and mesh well to be successful, unless you want to be like those tv girl groups who everyone forgets about
Posted by: Bridget at March 7, 2008 05:49 PM
obviously,this show is fake. i know they won't even end up making a CD and all that crap. and in that episode,Ron said about Ilisa "she has talent,but in girlicious?.." Robin said "yeah,i know.." so,robin knows Ilisa's not gonna win,so,what's the point of keeping her? this show is just for fun. none of them are gonna be in a girl group that's actually gonna make it big. they're probably on a contract or something.
Posted by: melissa at March 8, 2008 12:29 AM
Nichole is one of my favourites, I also like Charlye and Chrystina (or however you spell it) What did happen to Asia in PCD? Like, really? I wanted Melissa R to win but nooo Asia had to win. And I think she quit for her baby. W.e...8-)This show is fun to watch but I do doubt that Girlicious will ever do anything, they just want fame.
Posted by: Nat. at March 8, 2008 10:04 AM
Honeslty,
I watch this show every night at 10pm.
I love watching this show becuase i love music and dancing and everything this show is about.
Some of the girl dont relize this yet but its a fricken girl GROUP! You have to work with OTHERS. Its not a solo preformace!
Most of these girls are involved in so much drama and they wonder why! It might be becuase they start it! :S
But i know that Girlicious wont make it big. They might have like one hit and thats it.
Sorry girls but its the truth.
Posted by: Alyssia. at March 8, 2008 01:49 PM
i think that chrystina is the hottest and yes she is good to look up to however natalie is totally not
Posted by: kpposh at March 8, 2008 06:17 PM
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee natalie and nicole they are soooooo cool and pretty you rock nicole
Posted by: hannah at March 8, 2008 08:56 PM
ok you all are so wrong about Ilisa she has that unique style that natalie and all dem other fake bitches need lmao she has her own style she can sing and dance none of the other ones has both a voice and moves so i hear you all talking shit about Ilisa oh just cause she dont show her boobs and short or skinny so what least she is respectable lmao she should make it and i agree with Tiffanie natalie should go home that fake old skanky bitch
Posted by: kayla at March 8, 2008 09:42 PM

Posted by: Izza at March 8, 2008 11:02 PM
I really like all the girlz but not Ilisa she is too tom boy ish and weird!
Posted by: nikki at March 9, 2008 01:40 AM
i think that ya'll should pick ilisia because shes the shit, all your other girls are just typicall little wannabes.GIRLS THAT I KNOW ME & MY GIRLS DONNOT LOOK UPTOO IN ANYWAY.now Ilisia is different she comes to the table with something that the other girls think they have and thats originality which they donnot have. shes the only original one there.WORD.and if you dont pick her i know alotta girls out there are gonna be dissapointed in your show because you were looking for something that popped out.but instead picked the same old bitchy girl.ilisia is different and that why you should pick her, SHES AWSOME AND A REAL ROLEMODEL.
Posted by: nikkirainee at March 9, 2008 06:23 PM
NATALIE AND HER LIL BITCH FRIEND (the one with the dad or w.e in NFL)are bitchezz straight up like WTF..if your gonna pick her your basically telling every little girl to put her boobs out there, and be a bitch to the fullest.AND THATS STUPID I HATE HER AND YOU GUYS SHOULD KICK HER PUNKASS OFF THE SHOW.like foreal if i met this chick on the street id PUNCH HER OUT!
Posted by: nikkirainee at March 9, 2008 06:28 PM
I personally don't like Natalie. It's her attitude that throws me off, sure she's pretty and all, but that's all she has. She really needs an attitude adjustment, seriously. I can't handle a bitch like her, I don't think she should be part of Girlicious.
However, I really, really like Ilisa, she's so pretty and such an inspiration. And she could do solo if she wanted to.
Posted by: Fera at March 9, 2008 07:13 PM
I think none of the girls really stand out to be honest. They would probably work out for a bit, but once the hype is over, no one will remember them. First of all Natalie is a bitch from hell, WHAT A WITCH. Natalie, if you read this, get off your high horse and come down to reality. Little 11 year old girls don't need to see your hootchie outfits and trust me, my 11 year old would not look up to you OR be a fan.
Posted by: chris at March 9, 2008 11:17 PM
hey i think natalie is the best and the girlisious group will end up bieng natalie carrie and jamie(maybe nichole instead of carrie but anyway tiffinie sucks and i think she should go home withcassandra they suck as for ilisa go solo ok bye luvs ya all
Posted by: Kayla at March 10, 2008 02:02 AM
I hope Jenna,Ilisa and Nicoole win, their pretty and talented and Natalie is just a plane bitch so
Posted by: Jesse at March 10, 2008 12:35 PM

Posted by: nicole at March 10, 2008 12:44 PM
Natalie is a big beach ;):o. I don't think she should be part of the group but Ilisa, Nicole and the Les should because they're cool!:)
Posted by: Candice at March 10, 2008 01:36 PM
I really think that jamie or ilisa jaime bcse she is a great singer and perty and dances good!!!!!!
I think ilisa bcse she is asume different and cool shes a great singer perty and kewl dancer go them!!!! yeha
Posted by: Aylene! at March 10, 2008 01:46 PM
I love all the girls on th show exept for natalie, shes okay at times but shes really full of herself and mean to the other girls especially Ilisa. I think Ilisa is so pretty in a unique way and she is so talented, and i think natalie would be lucky to even dance/sing next to her ! She has faced one of the most rare heart conditions in the world , and made it all the way through it, and now she is up dancing and singing again for her life! I for one , really admire her, and i look up to her , even though i dont know her, but she's still an inspiration to any young girl who watches this show and knows what she has gone through. <3
Posted by: caitlin at March 10, 2008 02:26 PM
OMG I HATE NATALIE she hot buh I HATE HER G?UTZ i love ilisa.shes unique n pple realize her more then the others cuz shes different I HATE NATALIE
Posted by: olivia at March 10, 2008 04:33 PM
yeha im with you i ahe nattalie yeah seh a good singer SOMETIMES and a good dancer SOMETIMES...but when she went into the room and shtu the curtins to GOSSIP about all of them, and didnt try to sing the national athem, what is she the main person.....then calls her mom and starts sucking upto her...she need to keep her trap shut
Posted by: Lime-lover18 at March 10, 2008 04:50 PM
I LOVE NATALIE!!!!!! who gives if shes bitchy? so am I! shes gorgeous....and yeah..ilisa is UGLY!!
Vive Le Quebec :)
wtv...natalie should win...and Chrystina, and jamie :)
Posted by: kiki at March 10, 2008 06:44 PM
What the hell? Ilisa isn't ugly at all. She's great. Natalie should go. Quite a bitch.
Posted by: YLM at March 10, 2008 09:53 PM
I absolutely LOVE Ilisa!!! And so do the kids that were judging them! She is the inspiration that Robin should 'want' in a group that she wants to make it big. We are the audience. Natalie needs to go. She is way too much of a bitch regardless of whether or not she is pretty. She can't get along with others and she CONSTANTLY talks behinds everyone's back - who wants someone like that in a group? she is definitely NOT a team player! If this is a group being put together to make it big and make money, Natalie needs to go and Ilisa needs to stay !!! Ilisa can be shown how to be more sexy if that seems to be a problem for people - the bottom line is she has a beautiful voice, she can dance, she is definitely beautiful both INSIDE & OUT !!!
Posted by: Kris at March 10, 2008 10:36 PM
omg, Natalie should go home!She is sooo mean!I thinkJamie,Nicle and Charyle should win
Posted by: brianna at March 11, 2008 04:32 PM
i love the pussy cat dolls they are so cool i like the way they dance one day i want to be like them
Posted by: little mack d. w. at March 11, 2008 06:01 PM
kaii ilisa is cute in all but shes too different natalie can be nice at times and can be a bitch most of the time. i love jamie, carrie, and chyarlie carrie is an amazing singer and i want them to win if not them i want cyristina to win.
people say i look like natalie. ew. joking shes so pretty
Posted by: alysia at March 11, 2008 08:18 PM
i like Ilisa shes the best one out of all of them. She stands out and she has a amazing voice and dance moves well maybe she could work on the dancing but still she is soo guna be in girlicious and if she isnt then she can still do alot wit her future. I like Ilisa shes awesome :) (thumbs up, unlike Natalie who is such a bitch she brings everyone down and she has alot of attitude even in the first episode when charlotte wanted to borrow her boots but she was like 'no one told me to bring boots 4 charlotte they just told me to bring botts for me' n all tht crap like seriously i cant beleive they didnt send her home already she is soo not fit for girlicious the only person tht actually likes her is chrystina and if chrystina goes home then she is gunna be like the most hated person there wait she already is the most hated person there lmao mi bad OMG AND I CANT BELEIVE SHE STARTED TALKING BOUT ILISA!!! I SWEAR I HATE HER SO MUCH N I HOPE SHE GOES HOME!!
Posted by: october at March 11, 2008 08:48 PM
I hate natalie she is ugly, and needs to go see a dentist to get that hideous overbit fixed. Im scared shes gonna eat me with those teeth. She is so annoying. I want Nichole, Charlye, and Jenna to win. I LOVE jennas voice its so hott
Posted by: Taylor at March 11, 2008 08:59 PM
i hate natalie so much. she thinks that she knows it all and she is not even all that pretty. she is a wanna be and sucks at singing, why is he even on the show? she should be the next person kicked off. and she is a cry baby.. why in the world would she call her mom for support. i want carrie, nichole, and jamie to win they ar the prettiest and bes singer and dancers theere is on the show
Posted by: GANGSTAA KWEEN at March 11, 2008 11:00 PM
cassandra left. on the new episode,nataile was nice. she didn't say anything bad AT ALL. and she has straight hair now! ew,how gross. she looked better with curly hair.
Posted by: melissa at March 11, 2008 11:04 PM
OMFG..NATALIE CAN KISS MY ASS!..SHES A SLUT!..SHE CAN GO AND F** CHRISTINA,,OR HOWEVER JUU SPEEL IT :@
Posted by: poojeyz- at March 11, 2008 11:16 PM
Natalie - hawt, go solo, bad for group hun, lose the freakin attitude you hater.
Chrystina - love the voice, love the sexiness, please loose the stuck up attitude
Carrie - WIN!! I loovee carrie ♥
Posted by: Aimee at March 11, 2008 11:58 PM
I think when Robin and Ron admit Ilisa is not girlicious enough, they should eliminate her cuz itll be too cruel to eliminate her because of her outfit after several episodes done.
Posted by: Tomy at March 12, 2008 02:35 AM
I love this show! All the girls are sexy looking. Ilisa has talent but insipartion story of her almost dying on the floor 1 time and need dire medical help. Natalie is 2 much of a bitch, she needs to go home because her group lost one challenge because of her whining. I like jenna because of her bangs in her hair, I like girls that have bangs in her hair looks mysterious and exotic. She has some talent but not in dance. Nichole, jenna, and carly could win this.
Posted by: Steve Gordon at March 12, 2008 01:11 PM
OMG!I dont no why jamie hates her knew look?She looks smokin' hot, she looks hot in anything!I think nichole deserves to win the red carpet thing.Im definetly voting for jamie and nichole, mostly jamie cause shes sexy,hot,pretty,a good singer and dancer.same with nichole.GO SUCK A COW NATALIE AND CHRISTINA!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: OCgirl1 at March 12, 2008 01:59 PM
Natalie should suck her own fucking ass. HOw dare she pick on Ilisa. Natalie fuck you mother!
Posted by: katy at March 27, 2008 04:39 PM
I thought it was mean of Natalie to gossip about Ilisa
