Donzell came in determined to be in the best boy band and made connections with Landon to form a perfect group, but after hearing Aaliyah sing to considered forming a band with her. Donzell had a serious conversation with Landon about breaking their initial agreement to work with Aaliyah. They recruited Cameron and Katie to round out the band. The announcement of their band and their instant connection put pressure on the rest of the people to from bands.

Band #2 Bradley, Shade, Landon and Malik

The two talk about forming a four-piece boy band to rival some of the great boy bands. The two recruit Shade and Bradley. The four turn out to be the perfect combination to form the group.

Band #3 Nori, Brianna, and Wennely

The three girls were determined to hold with only three members despite the possibility of adding Brie. Things became awkward when Nori didn’t remember chatting with and getting to know Bri. When push came to shove Bri didn’t have any other connections, so she was out.

Band #4 Conor, Shane, Mason, and Zach

Band #5 Jenna, Autumn, Noriella and Erica

Erica tried to connect with people but didn’t really click. During early introductions, Erica’s attempt to connect with Allison fell flat. Realizing that Allison intended to “run” things, Erica took matters into her own hands joining forces with Jenna and Noriella. They wanted a fourth member and asked Autumn to join to form their band.

Band #6 Alison and?

The last band has yet to be formed. Allison has been looking for the right people who will work up to her standards. Seeing 5 bands form already puts pressure on her to find members. For her it’s down to two possibilities, Haley and Elise or Mandy and Cece. In an ideal world the remaining four would form and leave Allison out but that was not the case.

The show ends with a cliffhanger. who would Allison choose. “I am not quite sure which way to go,” Alison says. “I feel like the fate of four people is in my hands.”
