Asia was able to pick her routine and she passed the week. Asia landed in the bottom 2 in week 7 and week 8 but made it pass both weeks. Asia made it into the finale with Madison and Brianna.

Abby and Asia talked about her technique. Asia performed the trio and was caught for lip-syncing the piece and being off.
