## Episode Guide

### Episode 1

In the opening mini challenge where the girls had to convince a homicidal maniac not to kill them, Lindsay gave an average performance, and commented that Tanedra was "the first person that struck me as a heavy competitor in this. She was good." Later while the girls were relaxing on their first night in the house, despite her previous comments, Lindsay voiced her opinion that Tanedra's lack of training and study would "get [her] into trouble or it won't hold up over time." Simultaneously, Tanedra named Lindsay as her biggest competition due to her experience.

In Homa's class, Lindsay gave another average performance while pretending to be poisoned after eating fruit. While acting in a bathtub for the director's challenge, Lindsay yet again gave an average performance. Lindsay was not summoned to the Grand Ballroom.

### Episode 2

Lindsay and the other girls were shocked that Jo-Anne went home in lieu of Kylah. For the mini challenge, the girls were given 15 minutes to dress themselves up and impress a casting director. Shawnee called Lindsay's style "frumpy" and the casting director said Lindsay looked more like the "best friend" rather than a leading lady. Lindsay was chosen along with Marissa to receive a makeover and was given a shorter, sharper haircut that some of the other girls described as "edgy".

In Homa's class, Lindsay impressed by giving a great performance acting like she was seeing and loving her haircut in the mirror for the first time. Homa said she "did it pretty much right" on the first try. In the director's challenge of a horror photoshoot, Lindsay was given the theme of "Blinded By the Fright" which involved her wearing uncomfortable all-white contact lenses. She took James' direction well and gave a great performance with just the right amount of over-acting. Upon receiving their photos back Lindsay was convinced hers was the worst, but when she was summoned to the Grand Ballroom, the judges commented that she did a great job and that she was too hard on herself. Lindsay was awarded the week's Leading Lady.

### Episode 3

In the mini challenge involving jumping out a window, Lindsay gave an average performance and once again commented on how well she thought Tanedra performed. She also commented on Jessica's "overly dramatic" performance and how she was "exhausting". When the girls were treated to a night out, Lindsay mostly faded into the background to avoid the drama between several of the other girls, calling Lina "simple minded" in her talking head.

In Homa's class involving stunt and fight training, Lindsay was paired up with Jessica and gave a good performance. However she struggled to work with Jessica because the latter was so unpredictable; in her talking head Lindsay said, "Jessica is good at playing crazy psycho, because she kind of is." In the director's challenge involving the stunts they'd learned, Lindsay gave another good performance, with Michelle commenting "she looks so good on camera". Lindsay was not summoned to the Grand Ballroom.

### Episode 4

In the mini challenge involving playing a head in a horror-comedy scene, Lindsay gave a great performance with a commitment to being genuine and just the right amount of over-acting. She subsequently won the mini challenge and a guaranteed callback. In Homa's class where the girls learnt about different types of screaming, Lindsay impressed with a scream depicting her hair falling out in clumps.

For the director's challenge, the girls auditioned for roles in a trailer for Reform School Zombie Squad, and Lindsay was cast as Luwina, a tough girl from the streets, a character that Lindsay openly admitted was her polar opposite and thus why she wanted the role. James' brother Sean Gunn said "she's pretty good". She took direction well and impressed James by showing great adjustments and emotion. Lindsay was not summoned to the Grand Ballroom.

### Episode 5

In the mini challenge, the girls had to perform a vengeance monologue in a pool of blood. Lindsay invoked her emotions with thoughts of her own self-hatred and gave a good performance. Homa's class, set in a morgue, had the girls spend time in body drawers to experience the feeling of death, before emotionally reading out nursery rhymes. Lindsay gave another solid performance.

The director's challenge involved the pairs of girls performing a scene in a tent filled with cockroaches. Lindsay was paired with Michelle and they worked well together, until Lindsay's anxiety started to get the better of her. Ultimately Michelle performed well while Lindsay did not. For the first time, all six remaining girls were summoned to the Grand Ballroom where Lindsay was placed in the bottom two alongside Sarah. The judges expressed their concern of Lindsay's nerves and anxiety getting in her way. However they finished by asking Lindsay to believe in herself, and awarded her a callback while Sarah got the Axe.

### Episode 6

In the mini challenge, Lindsay gave a decent performance about becoming possessed by the Devil, but the girls and Shawnee were distracted by her boobs almost falling out of her low-cut top. Lindsay spoke more to the girls and in her talking head about her struggles with anxiety, and several of the girls proceeded to express their concern for her.

The weekly exercise in Homa's class intended for the girls to act as each other and expose their weaknesses. Lindsay was paired with Angela, and they were ultimately the only ones who properly understood the exercise. Lindsay exposed Angela's inability to be emotionally vulnerable while Angela touched on Lindsay's lack of self-confidence. They both agreed that they enjoyed and learned a lot from the exercise.

The director's challenge saw the girls becoming vampires and acting alongside Michael Rooker. Lindsay continued to struggle with her anxiety and self-confidence and turned in a low-to-average performance. Lindsay was summoned to the Grand Ballroom and placed in the bottom two for the second week in a row, this time alongside Jessica. The judges again voiced their concerns that her self-esteem issues were getting in her way and were also visible to others in the scene with Michael Rooker. Ultimately Lindsay was given a callback and Jessica was given the Axe.

### Episode 7

In the mini challenge, each girl was given a camera and had to film themselves alone. Lindsay's scenario was that she had been kidnapped and locked in a cabin. She produced a great performance and said she was proud of herself despite being embarrassed watching herself onscreen. Lindsay won the mini challenge and was able to choose whether she went first or last in the director's challenge. Lindsay and Tanedra once again mentioned each other as their biggest competition.

In Homa's class, the girls had to act against a dummy. Lindsay took Homa's notes well and gave a nuanced performance which both Homa and Tanedra praised. The director's challenge involved the girls acting opposite themselves via a green screen and performing the good and evil sides of the same character. Lindsay did a fantastic job, again evoking her emotions through her self-esteem issues and taking James' direction very well. Behind the scenes, Lindsay, Angela, and Tanedra bonded over wanting to beat Michelle due to her inflated ego.

All four girls were summoned to the Grand Ballroom. James commented how Lindsay did wonderfully in the director's challenge, saying how he had so much fun working with her and how they collaborated well together. Ultimately Lindsay was awarded her second Leading Lady.

### Episode 8

The remaining girls were introduced to the "gauntlet", a single-shot chase scene involving everything they'd learned. Lindsay connected physically with the scene (even taking a door off its hinges by accident) and hit all of her marks, but was criticized by the judges for struggling to connect emotionally and overthinking the technicality of the scene. Unfortunately this let her down and Lindsay was eliminated right before the final two.
