During last night's episode of Oxygen's "The Glee Project," the remaining five contenders were challenged to take their acting skills to a deeper level than ever before during 'Believability' week. The remaining five dug deep to convey unattainable love during their group performance of Paramore's "The Only Exception." The line between fiction and reality was tested as each contender attempted to make judges Robert Ulrich, Zach Woodlee and Nikki Anders respond emotionally to the music video. "Glee" guest mentor Jenna Ushkowitz ("Glee's" Tina Cohen-Chang) coached the group on how to be real without overdoing the intensity.

In the final moments of last night's episode, "Glee" hopeful Hannah McIalwain of Charlotte, NC was eliminated. For her last chance performance, she sang "Back to December" by Taylor Swift directly to Ryan Murphy, but it wasn't enough for her to make the call back list. Prior to appearing on "The Glee Project," Hannah (20) had been performing in amateur shows for six years. Even though she sometimes feels self-conscious about her weight, she uses her sense of humor and exuberance to overcome any negative feelings she has about her appearance. Besides her talent for singing, Hannah can also rap (under the alias Rouge), which illustrates quirkiness and positive attitude. Hannah originally auditioned for "The Glee Project" at the Dallas/Fort Worth open casting call.

The remaining four contenders will face their next "Glee"-inspired challenge on Sunday, August 14th at 9PM ET/PT when Kevin McHale ("Glee's" Artie Abrams) shows the contenders how to put others first for "Generosity" week. Children from Education Through Music-Los Angeles (ETM-LA), a non-profit organization with the mission to provide music education to disadvantaged schools, join the contenders in performing My Chemical Romance's "Sing."

On Thursday, August 4, six of the contenders visited the Rio Vista Elementary School in North Hollywood, CA to participate in the ETM-LA program, reuniting with some of the children featured in Sunday's upcoming episode and presenting the school with a check for $15,000 on behalf of Oxygen Media to help ensure that music and the arts continue to thrive in schools.

From Ryan Murphy, the creator and Emmy award-winning executive producer of "Glee," and executive producer of "Glee" Dante Di Loreto, "The Glee Project" is a 10-episode competition series seeking to find the next star of "Glee" and will award one winner with the ultimate prize of a seven-episode role in season three of the hit FOX show. The series began with 12 extraordinarily talented individuals that were picked from thousands of entries, and an exhaustive nationwide and online talent search. The series uncovers a unique group of artists from both professional and amateur backgrounds, proving every underdog has a fighting chance at stardom. Each week one contender is sent home through intensive rounds of singing, dancing and acting based assignments. During the final 'Last Chance Round,' the bottom three must perform for Ryan Murphy, casting director Robert Ulrich, and choreographer Zach Woodlee as they carefully assess which of them has what it takes to be one of the next new faces of the award-winning show.
