The class is divided in between “Titolari” and “Aspiranti”. “Titolari” will perform each week and will receive a grade from 1 to 10. If they receive a grade below a 5, they are considered to be at risk and might either face an elimination exam or an external challenge with an “Aspirante”. A candidate can still be saved, however, if he’s found to be first in the Ranking. Francesca faces her external challenge. She wins. Antonio receive his first low grade, however he’s first in the Ranking. Gabriella, Andrea C. and Riccardo receive their first low grades and are at risk. Stefan receives his second low grade. He will face an external challenge. Paolo enters the school.
