Yes, very fun and fresh. More of that please, DCC

I don't either. No reason to uproot a child from home and friends and your husband's job for the summer when you don't even know if you are making the team. I was suprised more women would not be supportive of any woman pursuing her dreams. I don't think being a mom means you have to put your dreams on hold... And DCC is something you age out of... There is a small window. WIth so many vets gone, this was the year to make it. I am a stay-at-home mom and I am in college pursuing my masters right now. Does that mean I am studying some days we could be out at a park or museum... Absolutely. Does it also mean they see hard work and example of study they can apply to their own study habits and school? Absolutely. I am not a huge fan of Tasha's but I would support any woman who wanted to strive for something challenging and fufilling. That can be an example to her daughter as well.

Selena IMO is passable on looks and also like Amy very short which is always a boots issue. I think they did not focus on her because there would be too many comparing her to Auto Amy who the viewers love and adore and has a great DCC face.

Yes, Yes, and yes! Also Emma always keeps her figure and they can just slide her in like she never left. I love that!

I agree... And when they showed on a previous episode Jessika and Kyndall doing side-by-side sexy hips I thought Kyndall looked much better. I think she has goregous leg lines and figure. Anyways, she is one of my favorites and I was hoping for her but I did not see an improvement in "power Pom" from her. My guess is Judy and Kelly were hoping for development and improvement in that area. It would be very difficult to have your roommate make it and you not. I think she needs to take hip hop and practice hard hitting dances and I hope she comes back next year.

I may be in the minority, but I liked Melissa R with the vet (was it Megan?) going over dance moves and deficiencies. I like her and think she does add a human perspective and interaction that Kelli taking notes into a recorder can not provide. I remember on an old episode Danielle saying she was trying to be fun and show her personality to Kelli during fittings because it was her one shot at interacting with her one-on-one.

I do think they meant it as encouragement. I do think she was a last minute cut where the uniform was already done and then they decided to cut her last minute. I think handing her a finished product was just to say, you are back.. We wanted you back...etc. I remember them calling Alex into the office and saying she was so much better than the last year and to not be nervous in TCC the second time... And I think this is what they meant by the uniform. I like Kyndall. I think she has a great figure and her hair is great for the humidity and 4 quarters of a football game. I am routing for her, but I do not see her getting more powerful. I always say I saw a difference in Alex from the year she got cut and the year she came back. I think Kyndall seems sort of the same. So, we will see.

I agree. She seemed to have good comments about style, and some others. I think she is a lovely lady and a person you would want to see associated with the Dallas Cowboys brand. I enjoyed her, I felt she had something to contribute and hope they keep her.

I really like Yuko, but I do find it interesting they are working with her visa status and seem to be allowing some leniency compared to other girls. The staying with a former DCC of such stature seems unusual and makes me think there is more going on here than we are aware. I think she has a real spark for dancing and is entertaining to watch but I am not certain how they feel she "passed" the interview if she is having an interpreter come to her classes. Kelli Pickler had a recent show where she and her husband went to Tokyo and it did not appear to me this was a locale that was on their lifelong bucket list... It was a little bit fish out of water story over there. So, I wonder if CMT is trying to bring itself to the Japanese market and there is some crossover branding going on. Maybe they have a Japanese girl trying out so she creates buzz and copy over in Japan about her experience trying for DCC to open a new market of viewers to CMT or country DCC MTT or something. Not sure, but if it was a CMT branding thing I could see DCC wanting to place Yuko in an established home during production.

OMG, I typed a whole long thing and I don't think it posted. Maybe you were all meant to be spared my critique, just never Kelli's....lol. I totally agree with above. I think 50 yard line Kelsey? Is that her name? Was a Charlotte preference because of her look and some of the male judges. I remember I was really harshing on her previous seasons because she did not prepare for the interview, but she has won me over this year. I think Kelli is rude in her comments because Kelsey is not her selection/preference and I wonder if she is trying to get her to crack or get her digs in.to justify cutting her. Very passive aggressive on Kelli's part if that is the case, but I do wonder. I think Kelsey has handled the pressure and the odd bacon feedback really well. No problem Kelsey, just have crisp movements, you can do it. You will be sizzling on the field and a great rep of the brand.

Originally loved Barrett until last rounds and this. i just think it is his time to go, does not have more to show and clearly doesn't get the lyrics of Delta Dawn. Mistake Blake! I think Evan has a great voice but this old music is doing nothing for him. I'm not certain if that is Pharell or Evan driving that? I'm ready for them to cut a lot... Down to Amy, Jefferey, Jordan and maybe Shelby or Emily Ann.

Yes, it was more about "the Voice" when Rhianna was giving good advice about vocals earlier this season. That whole thing was funny and shocking (that Blake would mention it) and Pharell losing it cracked me up. bUt to his credit he turned it around to say it was Amy's moment and gave her some comments. Blake should have thought about the fact he was robbing his own singer time to "sing her praises".

I never cared for Jeffery... He had a nasal type voice that just did not do much for me. That said, he was the best performance of the night and I voted 10 for him because of it. Jordan, I just love him and if he wanted to do a spiritual hymn this was the night to do it (going down to 11, before stakes are too high) but there are so many other hymns or even gospel revival I would have selected over his choice. Shelby I felt came in strong and at least moved me, so she should be good this round. Emily Ann and Barrett were two of my favorites until now... I like them as people and want to vote for them but both performances were just decent. I think sunshine did a solid performance. i just struggled with the fact that the show overall was lack luster and I agree too many dated songs. Someone said upstream Pharell has managed to typecast Evan and I agree, it will hurt him in the end. i do think Evan had the potential to take this far but not with the direction Pharell is taking him.

I agree- from the strong red dress that looked like it ate her a couple eps back to the new blonde hair that does NOTHING for her but make her looked washed out... Ugh I liked her quirky glasses and personal sense of style because it was her. I wish Gwen spent more time on the voice coaching than this other stuff.

Can someone help me with the Vicki storyline? She is "duped" but she doesn't know if he does or does not have cancer? She was very clear to repeat that multiple times in the show. If she doesn't know, how was she duped?
