Episode progress

The competition involved a Dean's list, which granted safety from expulsion, and an at-risk status that could lead to expulsion. In Episode 1, Beverly was expelled immediately after physically assaulting Brittaney. Episode 3 had an expulsion ceremony, but no one was expelled because So Hood and Farrah quit. Episode 6 ended on a cliffhanger: Bay Bay Bay offered to give up her slot, and Ricki considered eliminating K.O., Risky, or Marcia. K.O. then gave up her own Charm School pin so Bay Bay Bay would not leave. Episode 7 revealed that K.O. quit the school. In that same episode, Bay Bay Bay withdrew and was asked to choose a replacement; she brought back Ki Ki and K.O. but later rejected both, so neither returned.
