Broadcasted on 2009-05-29. Team A and B get into a recording studio and get feedback from Soulflower. According to the judges Team A is less skilled than Team B. Both teams stay in the recording studio. C-ute's Umeda Erika and Yajima Maimi pop in to observe and watch Team B. Then there's a performance day. Each team can only perform once. Tsunku says through a VTR that the keyword when performing is 'smiling face' in Japan. The girls perform C-ute's Sakura Chirari and the judges gave their feedback. They said that although Team B's level has gone up (regarding singing and dancing), it was Team A that surprised them (was really energetic, worked well as a team). Then the teams are switched up:
 
−
New Team A: Sho YuMi (leader), Oh MiNa, Jang Mikyung, Kim ChoHye
 
−
New Team B: Yang YunSoo (leader), Lee SuJin , Seo YeRin, Jang DaHyun
 
−
The two new leaders were chosen because they stood out the most to the judges.

−
The girls were crying because they don't want people to be eliminated/are sad that people are being eliminated.

−
Out of the 7 remaining girls, only 2 will get to stay (names were not revealed in the episode)
 
−

Possible people that will be eliminated - only two will be able to stay and join a team: Kim JungEun, Hong JiYun, Song JiEun, Kim YuBin, Lee HaeRi, Ahn SoRi, An HaYoung
