What started out as preparing for just another season as the nonprofit agency Teen Idol was being formed but the show still created, produced and directed by the same company, turned out due to budgets and health reasons as being the final season of the show. As the auditions progressed with reduced resources due to the city withdrawn from the funding pool and internal family issues within the management team that prevented the continued expansion, this is the final season. With the former finalists volunteering to come back and help direct the show and former staff being let go, this initial episode covered the now expanded program that included Spanish, Standup and Russian and helped run the Marion County Fair Talent competition for the 3rd year and the first year not helping to run and host the State Fair.
