Teresa

How is Jasmine on the bachelor? What about her boyfriend?

Emily is ballet trained. That's what baffles me about her awful technique.

For having a ballet background, Emily's dance technique is horrendous!

Please tell me how Kelsey is being edited badly? I have not seen that at all. Also, though I do agree that Kelli has been hard on Kelsey this year, it seemed she dialed it back this episode. She admitted that Kelsey was one of the best in the fashion show. And she seemed fine with her in her office visit this time overall. I don't know, I must be watching a different show than ya'll. I remember last season when Kelli told Madeline that she would be front and center in a hip hop routine. I can see that. Definitely her strong suit. I'm so glad to see her doing so awesome this year! It's like a completely different Madeline this year!

I think this board has the seasons confused. Isn't this Season 3?

What show were you watching? Did you not see her hair and makeup done and dressed decently?

Clearly Melissa R has listened to the past criticism about her look for TV and amped it up with look more put together and wearing makeup now. I like her look this year more than the plumped up lips she had last year. Overall though, I don't know why she seems so universally disliked on this board. I agree that as a showmanship mentor, she knows what she's doing. She's not here to be a technique coach, that's what they have Kitty for. She does know how to sell it and that showed on her Dancing With The Stars stints.

What about Jenna? Does she make it back?

Are Kelli and Judy aware of Megan Flaherty's passing and of Tessa's stroke?

Is it true what I heard I think at some point last year that Holly P accidentally sent a text to the squad members that was meant for her mom where she was bitching about some of the girls and became kind of the hated girl after that?

So since Group Leaders are ultimately chosen by Kelli and Judy, then Judy's statement about Cassie being a Group Leader proving she made the team on her own is false.

Kelsey reminds me of Jennifer Love Hewitt.

I feel like Madeleine will be a one year wonder. Even though she made show group, it's still hard to imagine her making such an immense transformation so easily and quickly.

Caila got cut?

Those show group routines at Meet The Team were identical to last year.

I think it's ridiculous how Judy always expects the rookies to have the field entrance practically perfect the first time. They wait so long to teach it and then she acts panicked cause their first game is always "right around the corner and they need to have it perfect".

When the hell is Amazon going to have this episode available?!!!

Melissa's lips are horrid! What the hell did she do?!!!

Kelli certainly did not like having the tables turned on her, but she herself said it would have been the same result. Regardless though, Megan B is just painfully awkward. The more she tried to act normal, the worse she looked.

And no Rose is not pretty. Those eyebrows have been horrendously distracting since her panel interview, though it seems they fixed at least that in the makeovers. She still is not DCC pretty....not even close.

What is their obsession this year with constantly mentioning that they can have no more than 36 on the team. I thought they had 37 lockers! And didn't they even take 39 a couple years in a row?

I think a lot of it has to with learning an ENTIRE routine and new one every single night. That's a lot for any dancer to remember. Even Kelli has said as much on the show. However, I do agree with your overall point because they have let some ladies onto the team that can never seem to remember any of the dances at all because they liked their look (i.e. Emily Claire and Morgan Whitney) which was insane and completely ridiculous.

I think Kelli's statement to Colby that she was a lovely person and she's glad the fans brought her to TC was so forced, it was laughable. You could tell it pained her to say it.

Honestly, Melissa is fine as a mentor. I think she's far more relatable to these girls than say one of the superstars they've had before who could do no wrong and was probably never called into the office. She can relate to them and make them feel more comfortable because she's been that insecure girl who wasn't a shoo in and perfect from the get go. I would much rather have someone like her mentoring me than someone who can't relate to being less than perfect. I also think there's a bit of copycat complex going on this year. They see last year's Courtney quit her job and look, she made the team! Now all these other girls want to quit too so they can make it. They also know that the more you cry, the more camera time you're likely to get, so why not turn on the water works! I am not a Rose fan, but when I rewatched it and Kelli was critiquing her in front of everyone, Kelli did say to Rose that she was pretty before telling her that her dancing was not good, so that may be why Rose said she didn't want to make on just being pretty. Otherwise everything else about her I do not like.

I agree that Jennifer K is an excellent dance teacher in that she is personable making the girls comfortable and detailed in explaining exactly how to be more fluid with the dance steps instead of just saying you're too sharp.
