0:00:02 > 0:00:03Previously on The Next Step...
0:00:03 > 0:00:04CHEERING
0:00:04 > 0:00:06We won Regionals!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Nationals, here we come, baby!
0:00:08 > 0:00:10I want to be with Michelle. I'm sorry.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15- I'm taking a co-owner position at Superstar Dance Academy.- What?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17'Now that I don't have a head choreographer'
0:00:17 > 0:00:19I don't know what I'm going to do.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Between Regionals and Nationals,
0:00:21 > 0:00:23you guys are allowed to change up your dance team.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25We did it at my old studio. It's called The Challenge.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Dancers from other studios that lost Regionals
0:00:27 > 0:00:28try to get on a winning team.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31This is going to change everything.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01'As I enter the studio to get ready for our first day of rehearsals,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03'I see this...'
0:01:03 > 0:01:05matured woman.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09'We're kind of confused, and I look at everyone else
0:01:09 > 0:01:12'and everyone else has the same expression'
0:01:12 > 0:01:14and I'm not really sure what's going on right now.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22'She was actually pretty good, technically, and you can tell she's'
0:01:22 > 0:01:24had a bit of yoga training, too.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Ziva.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Ziva.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Ziva. Ziva.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36'I think she's so weird.'
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I think that she's weirder than West. Now, that is weird.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43What are you guys doing? Why aren't you guys warming up?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Because we're watching this old lady dance.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48You know what? (I think she's possessed. I don't know.)
0:01:48 > 0:01:51She's not old and she's not possessed. She's my sister.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Oh!- Phoebe!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Oh, Phoebe's Kate's sister.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Kate is so high-strung and serious
0:01:59 > 0:02:01and, that her sister is the complete opposite,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I just think it's so funny.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- She is going to be our new head choreographer.- Namaste.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10'Once Chris left, I had to think quick'
0:02:10 > 0:02:13and the first person that popped into my head was my sister, Phoebe.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Thank you so much for coming to our rescue. You're really saving us.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19No problem. I save things all the time.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21When I got your call, I was actually saving dolphins
0:02:21 > 0:02:22and I was like, "You know what?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25"There's enough people here saving the dolphins.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27"I need to save my sister because I love you."
0:02:27 > 0:02:30And I will grow to love each and every one of you, I'm sure,
0:02:30 > 0:02:35but probably not as much as I love dolphins. So...
0:02:36 > 0:02:40So, now that we have met Phoebe officially,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I want to talk about The Challenge.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46'The Challenge is something that is open to studios'
0:02:46 > 0:02:48who have made it to Nationals.
0:02:48 > 0:02:54You can re-audition to come up with a new group of 12 dancers to compete.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56But two of the 12 dancers are alternates,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58so, really, only ten people will be competing.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I don't mind some competition.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02No, I think we should stick to this team.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05'I thought that we would just bring in one alternate from B Troupe
0:03:05 > 0:03:06'or something but it's insane'
0:03:06 > 0:03:10that Kate's just opening it up to all the dancers in the world.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Actually, Michelle and I discussed it and we thought
0:03:12 > 0:03:14it would be a good idea to go ahead and do The Challenge.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18If we do The Challenge, guys, we'll have the best National team,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20and I know how competitive Nationals is.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24OK, so, all in favour of The Challenge, please raise your hand.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28OK, I guess we're doing The Challenge.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I will send word out to all of the studios to let them know
0:03:30 > 0:03:32that The Next Step is holding auditions.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I just love Challenges. I remember my first Challenge.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37I got cut.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Phoebe got cut?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46It's kind of a shock that even great dancers can get cut.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Maybe this Challenge isn't such a good idea after all.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Hey, girl!- OK.- Honestly?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Me, Michelle, James and Riley are at the mall
0:04:36 > 0:04:38and, as we walk towards the staircase,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40we see Lucien yelling at Amanda.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I'm the choreographer! I got them there!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Is that Lucien?- Your job was to make sure everyone's ready to win!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47You're the dance captain!
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- Can I not just have another shot? - No, you can't have another shot.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Matter of fact, I don't even want you on our team. What am I thinking?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I don't want to see you in my studio again!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01'I can't believe how mean Lucien is being to Amanda.'
0:05:01 > 0:05:04It's not fair. No-one should be treated that way.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Maybe like three and four? - That's good, yeah.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- And, then, a big kick.- Nice.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25'Phoebe wanted to run her choreography'
0:05:25 > 0:05:27for The Challenge by me, just because I'm a dance captain.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- It's like a rebound. One and two. - One and two.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34'It needs to highlight the dancers that should be there'
0:05:34 > 0:05:36and show us the ones that shouldn't.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37PHONE RINGS
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Oh! I'm going to go get that.- Sure.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- OK. Thanks, Emily. - You're welcome, Phoebe.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- Hey!- Hey.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55The auditions for A Troup aren't till later, actually.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Oh, I know. I was just... I'm actually here looking for someone.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59I'm Hunter, by the way.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Oh, I'm Emily. Nice to meet you. - Hi.- I'm the dance captain here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Wow. He's cute.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Sorry. You said you were looking for someone?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Yeah, I'm looking for my girlfriend.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Maybe you know her.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Her name's Michelle.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Clearly, the fates are conspiring against me.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I really should stop getting my hopes up.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Michelle with the long hair that flips it everywhere
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- like it's an accessory?- Yeah. No, that sounds like her.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Your girlfriend?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Michelle and I grew up in the same dance studio together.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Ever since we were kids, we've always been duet partners.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Right before she left, we started talking
0:06:35 > 0:06:39about our feelings towards each other but nothing was ever established
0:06:39 > 0:06:41because her dad and her whole family got transferred.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43But, now that my mom also got transferred,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I'm hoping to rekindle what we had.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46So, Michelle doesn't know you're here?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48No, she has no clue.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51A little plan starts to form in my mind.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Actually, I'm going to help you out.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55There's this place called the Culture Shock.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58It's in the same building just right downstairs,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00and all the dancers kind of hang out and mingle there,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02so it would be great for you to go, you know, surprise her.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06In my perfect world, they fall madly in love,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09they go back to Wisconsin and they stay there.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Forever.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Thank you, Emily. - Yeah. Thank you, Hunter.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Thank you very much.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I can't wait to see the look on Michelle's face.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Dinner at your house yesterday was hilarious.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I don't know how you got my brothers to act that way,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30but they were, like, on their best behaviour.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Really?- Yeah.- Why?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Like, I've never seen them use an actual, like, knife and fork.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I should probably come over more often, then.- Yeah, you should.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- Hi, guys. Look at you love birds. - Mich-Eldon.- You guys are so cute.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I think this is the happiest I've ever been.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Oh!
0:07:49 > 0:07:53This is the happiest moment I've ever been in in my life.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I mean, I think that's kind of corny, but...
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Honestly, I'm happy for them.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It's going to be a really good day.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Next Step's going to represent, though.- Of course.- For sure.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Obviously. Miss Kate knows.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Yo!- What?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09'She is such a hater on The Next Step,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11'and for her to just walk in here'
0:08:11 > 0:08:14and think everything's fine is just... I don't even know.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Right.- What is she doing here and who invited her?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I did.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Why would you do that?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Michelle inviting Amanda to The Challenge?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28That's drama and that's no good.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I want to help Amanda audition for The Challenge
0:08:33 > 0:08:37because I feel really bad for her after what Lucien did to her
0:08:37 > 0:08:38in front of everyone at the mall.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Amanda.- Hi.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I really need to talk to you about auditioning
0:08:42 > 0:08:44and I'd rather talk somewhere else.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46'When Michelle comes over to me'
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I feel a little bit less nervous.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51She really makes me feel welcome.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56We need to get that under control.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59'This girl Emily told me Michelle might be in Culture Shock,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02'so I head in there and I'm looking for Michelle'
0:09:02 > 0:09:04but I can't find her anywhere.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Hey, guy! You auditioning for The Challenge?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yeah, I am.- Sweet.- Hey.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12We're from The Next Step. I'm Chloe.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- This is James, Riley, West and Eldon.- Hey guys, I'm Hunter.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Nice to meet you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Well, Hunter, welcome to Next Step.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Mi casa est tu casa.- Thanks.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25'A nice guy named Eldon introduces himself'
0:09:25 > 0:09:27and he seems like a pretty cool guy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30'I'm excited to see what Hunter can bring to the Nationals team.'
0:09:30 > 0:09:32After The Challenge, everything could change.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Emily?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I heard about this whole Eldon and Michelle thing
0:09:42 > 0:09:45that's happening right now.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Where'd you hear that, Phoebe?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Oh, I don't like to reveal my sources. I don't think that's fair.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Kate told me.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Kate!
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Yes.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Anyways, I just want to know,
0:10:00 > 0:10:01how are you?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03'I am seeing this little girl'
0:10:03 > 0:10:06who just wants to be loved
0:10:06 > 0:10:08and she has this wall up,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10and she puts on this front that she's so strong,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13but I can tell that, deep down, she's hurting.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14I'm fine.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Your left eye is not saying that you're fine.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Well, my right eye is.- No, it's not.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Your right eye, actually, is telling me that you need a hug.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- I don't hug.- Yeah, you do.- I don't.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Maybe you don't, but I'm going to hug you.- No, you're not.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Yeah, I am.- I'm just... I'm not really a hugger.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I don't like to hug. I...
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Shush! Sh-sh-sh-sh. Come here, baby.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Feel free to cry.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36You're in a safe place.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41# Your smile lights up my world
0:10:41 > 0:10:45# I can't believe that you are my girl... #
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I'll take you to hot yoga.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Hey, guys!- Michelle!
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Did you, uh, see anyone interesting in Culture Shock?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57'I'm hoping she's here to tell everyone'
0:10:57 > 0:11:00that her and Eldon broke up and she's going back to Wisconsin.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02That's my ultimate dream.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Actually, I did.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09It's Amanda.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11And then I'm just super confused.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Look, Emily, I really want it to be OK that I audition for A Troupe.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16EMILY SCOFFS
0:11:16 > 0:11:17'I want to find a new place to dance,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19'where we can dance as a family'
0:11:19 > 0:11:22and not be treated unfairly.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Emily, look, you know what it's like to be dance captain
0:11:25 > 0:11:27and you end up doing things that you're not exactly proud of.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Everyone deserves a second chance.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- KATE:- 'She was dance captain at'
0:11:31 > 0:11:34one of the most amazing studios in the region.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35She could bring a lot to the A Troupe.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I really just want to dance.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I think that's a great idea,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41and we would be pleased to have you audition, Amanda.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43'At the end of the day, you have to look at the talent'
0:11:43 > 0:11:45and Amanda's got it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48PHOEBE: 'I'm all about free love'
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and I think everyone should just be allowed to audition.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Clearly, the three of you already have your heart set on this,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57so I'm not going to stand in the way.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59'If the three of them want Amanda to audition,'
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I'm just going to have to make sure she doesn't get in.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- I'm just going to go get ready, OK? - OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09I'm going on record right now, saying this is a bad idea.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25# Let's shut it down
0:12:26 > 0:12:30# There on the ground
0:12:30 > 0:12:32# We run this town, town... #
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- ELDON:- 'Right now we're just warming up in Studio A,'
0:12:34 > 0:12:36just getting ready for the challenge.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39# I am your hero, take you in my arms
0:12:39 > 0:12:43# I will send away the pain... #
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- RILEY:- 'I am very nervous for these auditions,'
0:12:46 > 0:12:49probably more than the auditions for the Regionals team.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52This audition is much different and much harder
0:12:52 > 0:12:55because all of the best dancers in the region are coming to audition.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01# I am your saviour, gonna hold you close
0:13:01 > 0:13:04# As you dance the night away... #
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- CHLOE:- 'There's a few J Troupers, which is really cool'
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and they're amazing.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- WEST:- 'I'm so excited to see all the people that showed up to audition.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14'I mean, so much talent, so much energy.'
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Unless they're better than me and I get cut.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Then, I won't be so excited.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- How nervous are you for today? - I'm really nervous.- Yeah.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- There's so many good dancers. - I know.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I'm really worried my spot could be taken.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27There's so many good dancers here
0:13:27 > 0:13:29and so many different styles of people.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32And it's our first year in A Troupe, so that's why I'm even more nervous.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Yeah.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Giselle.- Yeah?- Look at her.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Do you know who that is?- No. - What studio is she from?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I don't know.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Are you OK?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50She's trying to psyche me out.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- How?- She waved at me.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55'I'm kind of surprised how nervous Daniel is.'
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I mean, he usually isn't like this.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01'This girl who's warming up next to me looks really good.'
0:14:01 > 0:14:03She could take my spot or Giselle's spot and we don't want that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Listen, one thing I learned from last year is
0:14:05 > 0:14:09you need to focus on yourself. Don't worry about anybody else.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Or, I just have to make sure I look better than her, right?- Or that.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17# I am your hero, take you in my arms
0:14:17 > 0:14:21# As you dance the night away. #
0:14:21 > 0:14:22All right, you guys.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Welcome to the auditions for the Nationals Troupe.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28CHEERING
0:14:28 > 0:14:31We have some amazing dancers here in this room.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Jake.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33CHEERING
0:14:33 > 0:14:36'He puts a lot of videos on the internet and they are amazing.'
0:14:36 > 0:14:38He may be better than some of our guys.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39We have Cass.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41CHEERING
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I saw Morgan in here somewhere...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Oh, there. Yes.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Morgan and Cass, they're really great dancers and they're really strong.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49I can't wait to see them audition.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And of course the beautiful Miss Talia.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56'Talia I do know of, because her studio actually went'
0:14:56 > 0:14:59to Nationals a few years back. You know, that could come in handy.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04And some of you may remember Amanda from Elite.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Come on, guys. Yes.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08'I find it ridiculous that Amanda gets to audition.'
0:15:08 > 0:15:11I mean, really, do we need more drama around here?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Great. OK, I would love to explain to you
0:15:13 > 0:15:14how this audition is going to run.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17First, everyone will perform their solos.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20From there, we will narrow it down to 20 dancers.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Those 20 dancers will then return tomorrow
0:15:22 > 0:15:24to the next round of auditions.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Which is the choreo round.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Exactly, it's going to be tough. - Really tough.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Because from there, we will choose the 12 dancers
0:15:30 > 0:15:32that will make up our Nationals team.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Yes, and we have Emily and Michelle helping us
0:15:35 > 0:15:37to decide which dancers will make it through.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Yo, I haven't seen you in so long.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Wait, you two know each other?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Yeah. She's my girlfriend.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- EMILY:- 'I am in love with this new love triangle.'
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Do you know triangles are one of the strongest shapes?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Fun fact for you.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58This is not good.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08# I don't truly know what I would do without you... #
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- ELDON:- 'Hunter says Michelle is HIS girlfriend?'
0:16:13 > 0:16:15What's going on?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Miss Kate, can I please borrow your office for two minutes?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Please. Go ahead.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Whoa...dry.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24'I really need to talk to Hunter.'
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Especially in private,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28because he has no idea what's going on in my life now.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30We're going to start soon, so how about everyone warms up
0:16:30 > 0:16:32and gets ready, OK?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34So, first Michelle takes Emily's boyfriend,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36but she already has another boyfriend?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38This girl needs to slow down.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Well, it's great to see you.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Yeah, it's great to see you, too, but what are you doing up here?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I mean, my dad said that your family wouldn't be up here
0:16:46 > 0:16:47for another month.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51'Him and I have a lot of history, and we danced together when'
0:16:51 > 0:16:53we were really little in Madison
0:16:53 > 0:16:55and then we kind of liked each other before I left,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58but I just, I don't really know why he's here.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I wanted to surprise you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I thought now I'm up here, we can dance together just like old times.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07And we can pick things up where we left off in Madison.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09'When it comes to Michelle, all I know is'
0:17:09 > 0:17:11that I want to be with her.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14So, how you holding up about...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16that?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- I'm all right. I'm just stunned.- Yeah. Well...
0:17:20 > 0:17:22'If I lost Michelle, I'd...'
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I don't know what I would do.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I don't know if I could handle seeing her every day.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'd just be lost.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- EMILY:- 'Michelle and Hunter have been in the office a really long time.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36'That clearly means that there might be some feelings there'
0:17:36 > 0:17:39and maybe Michelle can go for Hunter and back off Eldon.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I thought that when I moved here,
0:17:41 > 0:17:46you'd kind of get the hint that I'd be moving on in my life.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50'I am really surprised that Hunter thinks of me as his girlfriend'
0:17:50 > 0:17:53after all of this time. I mean, it's been a really long time.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57But now that I'm here, we can start our relationship back up again.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59'Michelle and I never officially dated,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02'but I just always felt like I could just tell her anything.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04'We've helped each other out through tough times'
0:18:04 > 0:18:07and that's what I cherish most about her.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I've fallen for someone else.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14And I can't help how I feel about Eldon.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16'I'm just confused right now.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19'I thought we had a thing back in Madison together'
0:18:19 > 0:18:21and I can't believe she doesn't feel the same way.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I'm sorry, it's just the way that it is.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29# Kicking in slow-ooh motion
0:18:31 > 0:18:35# In slow-ooh motion... #
0:18:43 > 0:18:44So, how'd that go?
0:18:44 > 0:18:45How do you know this guy?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I heard you and Eldon used to date...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50He's from Wisconsin.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Is that it? Anything else?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57There's something she's not telling me and that's not OK with me.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I can't really talk about it right now.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Can you just focus on auditions?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Sure.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07'At first I didn't think Hunter would be a threat to me,
0:19:07 > 0:19:08'but now that'
0:19:08 > 0:19:10he's kind of messing with me and Michelle,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I think he actually might be a little bit of a threat.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Hey, James.- What's up?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Um, I'm actually kind of worried about this whole Emily, Michelle
0:19:20 > 0:19:23and Eldon drama, and now there's Hunter drama, too.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Yeah, I know. Think about if Amanda makes it in.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28You know how much more drama she's going to make?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Yeah. Maybe The Challenge was a bad idea.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34'If we didn't do The Challenge, Amanda wouldn't be here,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37'Hunter wouldn't be here, and'
0:19:37 > 0:19:39everything would just be the way it was.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Hey, ladies. Excuse me. Emily.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46'Eldon actually told me in Culture Shock that he used to date Emily.'
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I figured out a way to get Michelle back but I need Emily's help.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Well, what's your plan?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54My plan is based off of jealousy.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57See, Michelle gets jealous super-easy, so with Emily's help,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00'I'll be able to make Michelle realise she wants me back.'
0:20:00 > 0:20:04'Hunter's plan is amazingly devious.'
0:20:04 > 0:20:06And I really respect that.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07You want Eldon back, right?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Yeah.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17And I want Michelle back. So, let's help each other.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19'I really do want Michelle and Eldon to break up'
0:20:19 > 0:20:21but I know from experience
0:20:21 > 0:20:25that causing drama isn't the best thing to do,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29so I'm going to have to see if it's worth it.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31You on board?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34'I don't think I'd be able to do it by myself.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37'If Emily and I work together...'
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Michelle and Eldon don't stand a chance.
