ABBY: Hello.
Welcome back Brianna Asia, Amanda,
Madison, wow the final four, congratulations to you guys.
You're the final four, some may say the fabulous four,
I say need to fix it four.
We want to give you something to inspire you.
Inspire the challenge, which is balance,
and the theme, which is circus.
For the winner of our group challenge, two plane tickets
and hotel accommodations to new York city
so you guys can attend the world premiere
of the film "Cirque Du Soleil--
Worlds Away."
All right, you'll have 20 minutes
to learn this combination before Abby
and I return, and she will judge you
and pick a winner, all right?
AMANDA: I think we need a little bit more time to learn
how to use a balance beam.
So we're going to start and--
We're down to the final four and no one wants to go home.
In order for Brianna to do her best, we need more time.
20 minutes with four girls learning the routine,
that's not right.
So don't stretch your toes along just lift your toes up,
slide on your foot.
Slowly, slowly.
Find it, squeeze it. - Squeeze it.
AMANDA: Yes.
Oh.
It's scary, right?
Squeeze it, fight for it.
Oh.
You have to be so focused to maintain your balance,
but I know we have such a short period of time.
ABBY: How did it go?
It was OK.
ABBY: Ladies.
Asia's going to go first? - Yeah.
ABBY: Are you ready?
ASIA: Yes.
ABBY: Let's play the music.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It's cute and it's little, it's ridiculous.
All right, who's next?
Let's go.
Play music.
I have complete faith in Brianna,
however, holding it in a split position at the very end,
I'm not sure.
ABBY: Brianna, so close.
Oh there goes my two tickets to New York.
ABBY: All right, who's next?
Miss Amanda.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
BRIANNA: My biggest competition I'd probably say is Amanda.
She has beautiful technique, so I
just need to work really hard to get to her ballet level.
ABBY: Ready?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Madison we need you to use your face.
Get a video camera app, tape her face,
and let her see what she looks like, it's ridiculous.
Ladies, congratulate Amanda, she is your challenge winner.
What she did with her pose was very dynamic
and along with the music.
It wasn't that you were the best,
you were just the best of the worst, understood?
AMANDA: Abby said that I was the best out of the worst,
so I just have to make myself even better the next time.
ANTHONY: Just don't just drop your face like this.
Look all that face, yeah?
All of that.
My choreographer this week for my solo is Anthony,
and the style that I'm doing is jazz.
ANTHONY: More character than the dancing, the dancing
is secondary right now.
Imitate Asia like I asked you to.
AMANDA: Everybody keeps telling me, perform like Asia.
I'm like, that's her thing not mine.
The choreography is not that great,
but I can do something with my face.
MAYELIN: I need to concentrate right now on what Amanda
is doing, and Corinne does not need
to be here in our rehearsal.
One, two, three.
You see the body, you see the technique.
Right, but you don't see this.
ANTHONY: The face is not stage ready, over the top.
Give me some smiles in the beginning,
the face is not stage ready.
More, more face there, more, more.
CORINNE: From my point of view, the transitions which happen--
All right, you know what?
Focus on your kid, focus on her face too because--
Oh, Madison's is definitely bringing the emotion.
She's definitely bringing the emotion to the table.
Do you think so?
I didn't see that, but that's all right.
ANTHONY: Scream it out loud.
You're spacially challenged.
You're spacially challenged, facially
challenged, go figure it out.
She needs to let go.
She needs to stop being so nice and humble.
It's just not enough, you're not pushing yourself,
and it's frustrating to me because I
can't get it out of you.
I said all I can really say, I can't do anything else Amanda.
MAYELIN: Look at yourself right here.
We are making it tonight to the top three, OK?
Like Madison, Amanda needs to give
her complete facial expressions while she's dancing,
I just hope that Abby can see that.
This is for you.
Next up with a jazz routine about a freak show
contortionist, please welcome Amanda.
I want to see if she gives more base this time around.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERING]
You have to rock this to get into the final.
You know every one of those girls want you gone.
ASIA: I have to prove to the judges
that I can do my technique, so whoever thinks I'm going
home tonight, they're wrong.
No one's going to touch me, and if they touch me,
I'm bringing back with claws.
And big ones.
Next up is a jazz routine about captive animals here's
Asia.
[CHEERING]
[MUSIC - JANINE THE MACHINE, "ANIMAL"]
Oh ay oh oh oh let's play a game.
I am the predator, I'm going to make you my prey.
Aye oh oh oh I'm coming straight for your heart.
When I get next to you, I'm going to tear you apart.
Take it off, take it off, take it off now.
Oh love let's get savage.
Get wild, get rough, get loud, baby take me higher,
I'm an animal, I'm going in for the kill.
[CHEERING]
BRIANNA: They're standing up for her everybody
is in the audience.
Wow.
Asia please step forward.
Madison please step forward.
Madison tonight I saw corrections applied.
Asia, I think you're one cat with more than nine lives.
Both of you are in the top three.
Amanda, Brianna, one of you is headed to the top three,
the other is headed out of the big top.
OK so Amanda, your technique, the way
you move, it's effortless, it's flawless,
I've just wanted more from you in here.
Brianna, you're not afraid to fall,
you're not afraid to be pretty, you're not
afraid to be whimsical, to be comedic,
your bar is pretty like tada, but tonight I was like oh.
I think that we're all a little emotional right now,
we've become family, I would be very happy to have you
dance for the Abby Lee Dance Company,
and this is just the beginning.
We need to make a decision, and tonight's
performances hurt both of you.
Brianna, congratulations, you are in the top three.
[CHEERING]
AMANDA: I'm very upset right now because it's
been a really big challenge for me,
with my whole face and everything, but I did my best
and you know what?
It's just their opinion.
I want you to know that I struggled with this big time.
Amanda I'm sorry, today is not your day.
