With the last week upon them, Asia, Chelsea, and Melissa R. are remaining three contestants in the search for the next Pussycat Doll.. After they get their final message from the Pussycat Dolls, Robin gives them their next assignment for performance. They will be doing Lady Marmalade as a group and each doing a solo performance to a Pussycat Dolls' song, with Asia getting I Don't Need A Man, Chelsea getting Feeling Good, and Melissa getting Stickwitu. The girls start rehearsing, and afterwards, they dine on the patio with Robin and Mikey, where they are given the chance to vent feelings. But this leads to a small argument between Asia and Melissa, which ends up erupting into a fight that night. Early in the morning, Asia and Melissa are yelling at each other, waking Chelsea up. A few hours later, at rehearsals, Chelsea tells Mikey what has happened, and Asia and Melissa continue their fight. Everything is resolved, and Robin visits to check on how the solos are going, but is not happy with what she hears. The girls soon continue their voice lessons with Eric and John, before leaving to do their final performance. At the Pussycat Dolls' Lounge, they impress the judges first with their rendition of Lady Marmalade, and then with their solos. Robin has a tough decision to make when everything is done, but she chooses Asia as the newest member of the group. And to launch her as part of the new group, the new Pussycat Dolls line-up performs their hit song Don't Cha.moreless

  • The Girl Who Doesn't Become a Doll, as much of my dismay!

    5.0
    "Mediocre"
    By ThereGoesHalo3, Mar 02, 2008
    Similar to my show review, still not happy that Asia quit on something big. In my review, Melissa should have won. She had a good voice and was better than the first Melissa, and was great in the Corbin Bleu single for his album. Why, Asia? I know she was preganet, and she has a baby, but why did she sign up for PCD Presents: The Search for the Next PCDoll if she knows that she has a baby to take care of. Not my favorite episode, sorry to the fans of this show (PCDPTSFTNPCD). Peace out! -There Goes Halo 3moreless

  • Guess I expected that.

    I was really expecting Asia to win... and she did! Personly, she was a bit too much of a bio-tch for my taste, and I don't think that a lot of people really liked her, but she was pretty good, gotta hand it to her. I would have liked for Chelsea to win, cos she was nicer and cuter, but ah well.

  • This show was finally to it's endpoint, and in need to pick the new Pussycat Doll.

    It started off pretty well, though I was quite surprised at what remarks Melissa R. had to say about the fellow room mates of the home, who knew that she had that inner diva in her? haha. Another thing, the performances were hot, but they kind of lacked a tone, I mean, they were all on point, but just some of their voices sounded a little tired. Overall, it was an alright episode, I wasn't disappointed at all, for I knew that Asia was going to win. (though, I think the other two were better)moreless

  • Great series, let down by choice of winner.

    "Poor"
    By norme73, Apr 28, 2007
    Why why why? Her personality was terrible, her singing style is just like a bunch of other wannabe's. They should've allowed people to vote, the fans should've been able to have their say on who they thought should join their favourite group and not leave the whole thing up to the judges. Maybe I'm just disappointed. I would've preferred Chelsea or one of the Melissa R. Thank goodness they probably won't be adding any more new members any time soon because with the sour taste this left behind I certainly don't think i'd be very interested in following this series again.moreless

  • Asia wins

    I have to say I was really surprised that Asia won. It just does not seem like she is a consistent strong singer, but I will admit she can dance very, very well. When it was time for her to do her first performance with the group, she did her thing!!! I was like the guy who was the choreographer. The fight was so silly, and pointless. I tuned out my darn self!!! It was just silly. Can't help if it was meant to take the girls out of their game, or attempt to, but it did not work. The show was entertaining. I enjoyed seeing what the girls had to accomplish to see if they measured it up. I think the two that did not win, can carve out as career for themselves if they really want to. The other two were talented.moreless
