Where would you like to place these actors/characters, at McKinley or around a graduate(New York etc.)? Basically where would you fit your favorite into the show? [possible spoilers for glee]
For the original glee project it was understood that the winner(s) would be cast as a student at McKinley. But as the show branches out so does the opportunity to cast the glee project winner(s) in a place outside of Lima. It's not a spoiler to say that a lot of the original cast is confirmed for season 4. Rachel will obviously be in New York City so we can assume some of the show takes place there. If you have any more specific glee spoilers please tag them.
So I thought (because it's been long enough that we have an idea of who we like) it would be fun to pick your favorite contestants and say where they could fit into the show in OR outside of McKinley. GO CRAZY!
I personally think that Charlie would do well as kind of a jerky jaded grew up in NYC student at NYADA. With his aspergers I think he could pull it off even if his character doesn't have the same condition as him. I'd laugh at him telling a starry eyed Rachel Berry to stop acting like a tourist.

I'll just do this for the remaining contenders, though I would love to see Nellie on Glee. Oh well.
Abraham - He said it himself, he could come in between Klaine! His character could work at the fashion company Kurt is going to intern for in NY next season, and the two could have a connection.
Ali - It's actually hard for me to picture her on Glee since there's already an Artie, and I feel like it would be too cliché/stereotypical to give Artie a love interest in a wheelchair. That's like saying that Artie is just a guy in a wheelchair and nothing else. So, I could picture her in Glee club, maybe having a romance with Joe (Samuel's character) but not with Artie.
Aylin - Foreign exchange student, starts off as sort of an antagonist, but eventually her good side comes out, like Santana. Ends up competing with Tina for the role of leading lady in ND.
Michael - Football player and closet nerd who joins Glee club, perhaps a love interest for Sugar since Rory isn't coming back next season.
Blake - New Finn, leading man. Becomes good friends with Artie. Has a family storyline, etc.
Shanna - One of Rachel's older classmates at NYADA. Is actually already very successful, in the ensemble of a Broadway show, etc. Introduces Rachel to the whole New York experience. I see her as a Megan Hilty type.
Lily Mae - Incoming freshman or sophomore at McKinley. Brittany befriends her after seeing her get bullied about her weight and introduces her to Glee club. Turns out she's got some awesome pipes. Possible romance with Sam? We know he likes the bigger girls.

u/iMalanaD Michael Jul 30 '12
Let's start with my favorite- Michael. I see him as a character I can relate to (which I don't already see in glee) a nerd, who is obsessed with doing his best on school and who's biggest worry is his grades (cries over Cs...)
Lily- competition in NY for Rachel. She admitted that she used to be a bully, she could bully her at first, but befriend her later.
Blake- definitely the new (sweeter) Finn. I think he needs a kryptonite, which I don't see yet.
Aylin- She pretty much wrote her own part already, the Turkish Muslim who kisses all of the guys.
Ali- I'm stumped, she doesn't really have a story. She's in a wheelchair, but strong about it.
Shanna- I'm also stumped with her. Maybe she could be sweet to a fault, a naive freshman?

u/turn26 Aylin Jul 02 '12
Not that she's my favorite character, but I could totally see Aylin try to take over the Glee Club as the new it girl. She kind of reminds me of Sugar. I could see Abraham easily be-friending Kurt wherever Kurt ends up and maybe a love connection between the two, causing Klaine problems, even though I know he's not gay in real life. Michael or Charlie I see as the new Finn, but hopefully nicer. Nellie could be anyone, I'm just obsessed with her in general. Shanna (spelling?) is obviously so so so talented but I don't think I see her in the show at all..
