Alpha Academy selects exceptional young people, can send contestants home, and presents worldwide fame as the prize for the one left standing.
Charlie has a BFF and a Brazille beau, while Skye and Allie face personal complications involving Taz and AJ.
Consider whether a setting that can dismiss contestants “at any time, for any reason” may feel unsettling, particularly alongside the pressure to secure recognition and remain in the competition.

Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
