Ross got back to Chase fast.
Chase didn’t blame Maxwell and the others for jumping in. Actually, he thought it was perfect.
This was free trending content falling right into their laps, the kind that would shoot straight to the top without them spending a dime on promotion.
The production team wanted Alicia to prove herself, too.
They hadn’t rigged anything, and they could back that up.
The whole hour had been captured on camera, showing Alicia learning the piece from scratch.
Sure, they could release the full hour of footage to prove she’d gone from not knowing the song to mastering it, but people would just say she was faking.
Chase turned to Alicia and asked, “How about it, Ms. Delaney? Want to show everyone what you can really do p>
Alicia smiled and said, “Absolutely. If I don’t clear my name now, I’ll be stuck with a cheater label and your production team will get dragged for rigging the show p>
She stood up and walked onto the stage with a confident smile on her face.
Then she said something that made the whole room buzz with energy. “However you want to test me, bring it on. I’m ready
Whatever they throw at me, I can handle it,‘ she thought.
The live audience went wild, and the online viewers were just as hyped.
Chase and Marley huddled together and quickly worked out a plan. This was a curveball they hadn’t prepared for bar that was the reality of live variety shows. After a brief discussion, they reached a decision.
Chase turned to the camera and said, “If we let Ms. Delaney continue using the choreography our production team prepared people might still question whether we gave it to her beforehand. They might think we rigged it

She’d heard before that Alicia was a fast learner, but she hadn’t realized the girl could pick up choreography that quickly.
too.
If they really did the video call and Alicia learned it on the spot, this whole challenge would just turn into Alicia’s highlight
reel instead.
But Nicole couldn’t voice her objections without looking suspicious.
She turned her head to glance at Felicity, hoping her ally would step up and say something.
Instead, she saw Felicity wearing an expression of eager anticipation, like she was waiting for Alicia to fall flat on her face.
Nicole stared at her in disbelief.
What kind of delusional idiot is this?‘ Nicole thought. ‘Has she brainwashed herself so successfully into thinking she’s the best and Alicia’s a joke that she’s actually lost touch with reality p>
Nicole’s biggest regret this time was bringing Felicity on the show.
She should’ve brought Bianca instead, because at least that woman had a brain.
In the next episode, she needed to figure out how to swap out this deadweight teammate, and fast.
Chase turned to Alicia and asked, “Ms. Delaney, are you ready p>
Alicia nodded with a smile and said, “I’m ready. Let’s connect p>
The production team activated the live connection feature, and viewers who wanted to participate began sending connection requests.
Then they randomly selected one lucky viewer.
