Pussycat Dolls Present: - Personalities

Personalities

Mark McGrath is the Master of Ceremonies during the contestants' performances and the sneak peek of the proceeding episode.

Each show contestants perform at the Pussycat Dolls Lounge, consisting of singing and dancing. Based on the stagework, three judges determine the weakest performer, whom they eliminate. The first week the judges were vocal coach Eric Dawkins, choreographer Mikey Minden who would recur throughout the show as well as main judge Robin Antin and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. The three judges during all other performances are Robin Antin, Lil' Kim, and Ron Fair. In season 2 however Eric Dawkins was replaced by Kenn Hicks and Dave Audé has been added to the coaches. Furthermore the three judges selected the finalists from the semi-finalists as well.

Unlike Lil' Kim and Ron Fair, Robin Antin examines occasionally, she assists choreographer Mikey Minden with the dance choreography with the wardrobe personnel prior to the girls' performances. Announced by host McGrath as the most popular female rap artist, Lil' Kim also appears at the lounge. President of Geffen Records, Ron Fair shares similar responsibilities as Lil' Kim.

After the performances they provide their thoughts about them afterwards, and discuss it in private to make their decision. When the judges reach consensus on who will be eliminated, Antin is the one who makes the announcement. She makes a recurring statement to the loser: "It's time to hang up your boa, you will not be the next Pussycat Doll/you will not be in Girlicious." However, Fair is often noted for criticizing the vocal aspects of the performances, while Kim seems to be more keen on comparing the rendition with her feelings on the original song and Antin compares the girl to what she seeks in a Pussycat Doll.
