This week was an exciting and emotional week full of pressure to perform with family and friends present. The remaining four cast members were surprised with two family members at their rehearsal. This was an emotional time for everyone, even the producers and camera men. I happened to be sitting in the viewing room watching everything on screen as it played out. The only thing you could hear was sniffling and noses being blown from all the tears.

I felt the cast had a sense of relief from seeing their family after seven weeks and a renewal of energy. At the same time, they had to perform live in front of them, putting a lot of pressure on them.
