Pussycat Dolls Present

This is the first episode in the contest that follows the search for the next Pussycat Doll. Eighteen wanna-be Dolls are split into three groups and given a song-and-dance routine to a different Pussycat Dolls song and rehearse. During these auditions come some surprises: the girls get to go to a Pussycat Dolls' concert and meet the group. But during the work and play comes illness, and eight of the girls come down with mysterious stomach flu. The show must go on, and the girls audition, even though some don't feel well. After all the groups go, the judges make their decision, and the final nine are chosen and given their boas.

The girls move into their loft on the Sunset Strip, and after getting advice from PCD members, the girls are told about their challenge: they have to perform a song and dance routine at the Pussycat Dolls’ Lounge.

The day after elimination, the remaining eight hopefuls get a message from the Pussycat Dolls and a visit from PCD member Kimberly Wyatt, who tells them how persona is important. When she finishes her talk, the girls are split into two groups of four to learn a new song and dance routine.

The remaining seven finalists get visited by Pussycat Dolls Ashley Roberts and Carmit Bachar, who give them a few creative tips. When they are through with that, the girls take part in a disco-themed performance, and then teach choreography to their male partners. After the dancing if all finished, another girl is eliminated and hangs up her boa.

The remaning hopefuls compete in another conpetition and one more girl is leaves.

The remaining girls continue in the competition to find the next member of the Pussycat Dolls and one more girl hangs up her boa.
