Now that the introductions from episode one are out of the way, the competition gets real in week two of The Glee Project, with attitude problems for the contestants, an unexpected cast departure, a possible love triangle … and the worst video shoot in the history of the series.

Some highlights of this week’s episode, “Dance-ability”

Warning! Spoilers ahead.

Casting director/mentor/master of diplomacy Robert Ulrich (Is he dorky and cute at the same time? Discuss.) announces this week’s theme: Dance-ability. By the way, this just in: “dance-ability” is now a word.

The contestants are excited to hear this—except for Dani, who admits she’s nervous, and Tyler, who has been having problems with his moves since week one and was in the bottom three as a result; watch your back Seinfeld’s Elaine Benes.

This week’s guest judge for the performance is Samuel Larsen,...

Samuel Larsen, an addictively handsome dude who debuted his home-schooled 'Christian'character, Joe Hart, on 'Glee's Valentine's Day episode last night (Feb. 14) Must become a regular cast member! Agree? Glee's needed some fresh blood for a long time and first it got a refreshing dose when the first Glee Project winner Damian McGinty a.k.a. Rory Flanagan arrived at McKinley High as a transfer student from Ireland. But now that new God Squad member Joseph Hart (Larsen) has transferred into the school with his chest-length dreadlocks, dreamy face, rocking body covered in Bible quote tattoos, and a voice that is truly angelic, the show suddenly feels like it's a full-on refreshing makeover. Hart is so naively friendly having spent his entire life being homeschooled that almost everything he says feels funny and when Quinn (Dianna Agron) said he's "like a teen Jesus," she was absolutely right. It...

We're not going to go so far as to say "Heart," the "Glee" Season 3 Valentine's Day outing, was perfect. But after a run of mediocre-to-bad episodes, we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Too bad the scenes for next week have us cringing again. But no matter, let's focus on the good stuff!

The Good: 

Samuel Larsen -- The "Glee Project" co-winner made his "Glee" debut as Joseph Hart, a formerly homeschooled sophomore and new member of the Christian club. He was a little fast on his line readings, but his onscreen personality is already far more magnetic than Damian McGinty's. Sorry, Damian, you're cute, but Samuel is interesting. He's got a fantastic voice (that blends really well with Chord Overstreet's, just sayin') and we can't wait to see more of "Teen Jesus." 

"I Will Always Love You" -- Amber Riley slayed this unfortunately timed Whitney Houston cover. It was nice...
