“Subtlety, huh?” I whisper to Manny. “I don’t think this is going the way she had hoped.”

Realizing this, the camera focuses in on Gemma. She looks a little panicked—but also, Gemma is a Hollywood pro. She dives under the judges’ table and grabs a roll of paper towels. “Heads up!” she yells, then throws the paper towels at Sarina.

BOING!!

The paper towels hit Sarina on the head. Embarrassed, she rips off a piece of paper and starts wiping her face with it—but that only makes things worse! Now there are different colored smears all over her face!

Just when it looks like all hope is lost, there’s a shout from the studio audience during a pause in the song. The voice sounds familiar. . . .

“Yes, Emily?” Gemma says to the voice.

Leave it to my sister, Emily, to FINAGLE HER WAY onto live TV!

“Gem, I have makeup remover in my bag right here,” Emily says. She holds up the purple googly eyed purse to the camera and pulls out a bottle of what must be makeup remover. I had no idea they have special remover for that, but she throws it to Sarina and it works! Sarina’s face becomes fresh and clean, makeup free.

I guess sometimes my annoying older sister can be, well . . . a not annoying older sister.

Despite all this, I’m impressed with Sarina. She never stops singing until her song is finished. She even ends on a high note! I almost forgot this was a singing competition.

“I liked the song,” Dustin says, obviously feeling bad for Sarina. “Can everyone give Sarina major props for finishing that song?”

The audience cheers louder than they have yet!

Okay, that makes me feel better. Sarina’s performance might have been a mess, but at least the crowd is being nice.

Gemma doesn’t ask Nicholas Campbell what he thinks. That’s kind of her. I don’t really think he’d have anything nice to say.

Sarina returns to the green room.

“I liked the song too,” I say to Sarina.

She smiles and nods, but I can see that she’s not pleased.

Being the pro that she is, Gemma moves the show right along.

“Our next contestant is well-known to anyone who loves to cook—or eat! Please welcome TV chef extraordinaire, ARTHUR LING!”

Arthur gets up from the sofa and walks out onto the stage, pushing a rolling table in front of him. On the table sits a blender and a bunch of fruits and veggies.

“I’m also going to try to blend who I really am with my song. And speaking of blending . . .”

On cue, the music starts. Arthur presses a button on the blender and the whirring noise adds to the music:

“Start with a banana, an orange, a pear,

Right in the blender, just drop them in there.”

As he sings, Arthur drops fruit into the blender:

“Some veggies come next. Did you think I’d forget

The carrots, the kale? But it gets better yet.”

In go the veggies, right in rhythm with the song. And again, the singing:

“Tomato juice and yogurt, they are your next move.
