I agree with the 2nd chance being too much. In reality, I'm pretty sure no one would have gotten a second chance, and would have had to wait for the next year to audition again. I get when you ppl say this show is not real...but yeah, it kind of is. It portrays situations people go through in real life, especially things people never want to talk about because it's a taboo topic, like domestic violence, transgenders, homosexuality, being handicapped, homelessness, etc. Because this show has a streak of being kind of realistic, I was surprised she did get the second chance to make it. To be random, was anyone else weirded out that she pointed out her ethnicity when giving the speech onstage? "I'm a Jewish girl, bla bla..." why would anyone point that out? No other people of different ethnicities point out their ethnicities, "Hi I'm Finn, a caucasian guy..." "Hi I'm Tina, an Asian girl..." What the heck...just sayin xp whee
