Hot on the Trail


Hot on the trail of Glee’s season finale comes season 2 of The Glee Project. In this reality show, 1,000’s of contestants vie for a chance to guest star on Glee. The finalists live and train together as they are mentored by several cast and crew members of Glee. Each week one of the contestants is eliminated from being in the running after they film a music video.

This show, unlike all of the other contest programs, creates friendships. The people bond and apparently come to care for one another. They are willing to sacrifice a spot in the game to save a friend. Many of the first season kids still see each other. Two of the guys live together and two of the girl also share an apartment. It’s just amazing.

Season 2 starts on June 5th. However, on Hulu.com, you can watch the episode showing the 14 finalists chosen. Originally, there were supposed to be only 12, but there was too much talent not to choose 2 more. That’s OK.

A lot of things happen in the first few minutes of the program. Robert Ulrich starts off by letting the audience in on the process of picking the special ones. He described in detail everything that he went through with choosing who he thought was special enough to stand before Ryan Murphy and perform. It was very cool to see what a casting director does. People outside of Hollywood don’t always get to see that. We see bits and pieces of the online submissions as well as the open calls. However, whoever edited the show cut out the bad bits. We only see images of what could’ve been bad performances.

And then, after 5 or so minutes of showing clips, we get down to business and see many of the auditions as well as hear the potential competitors stories. After seeing so many auditions, we see the final 80,then the final 30, and finally we meet our 14 contestants. All of them are excellent – they have a wondrous look and sound. They all have different backgrounds that would add so much to the show. As I said last season, why can’t all of the contestants get a spot on the show? They’re all that good. 

You can watch it here:  Glee Project season 2. I hope you enjoy it! I know I did!
