Mia heared the name of the second to the last contestant, who happened to be Diane being called out on stage and she suddenly felt her palm break out in sweat. She had felt confident earlier but now she was feeling nervous about walking out there in the crowd.

And to make matters worst, the images from her strange dream where she was being insulted by the crowed flashed into her head.
