Did anyone notice that Kelli is not wearing any rings on her left hand but for auditions she was. Hmmm

I find I love Holly for her spunk and dancing. She seems very genuine. I think Madeline would benefit from another year of maturing and dance technique. Yes they loved Loni and kept her but you can see her rush off the field so she didn't ever get to do the shows like the other girls. I think they don't want another Loni in Taylor.

This is much like freshman find at a rigorous college. I used to teach for one and most were valedictorians etc and now they were in with others at their same level. I am not sure why they bring someone in with terribly low kicks nor why someone tries out without the kicks being what they need to be, Perhaps this board needs to mentor people who are considering auditioning. We could have episodes as homework etc! LOL

OK so we probably have deviated from the topic but I see GFM for people who want to adopt. If you can't afford the adoption, how can you afford the baby? Please it is not the entire community's responsibility to fund what you want. Ok, putting away my soap box!!

Just remembered what I forgot to say was about Jacie. She was sitting in the front row and everytime the camera showed her, she looked worried and upset. What was up with that??

It seems to be that often the calling of the last 5 TC candidates, particularly the last one is about putting out specific point such as you were DEAD LAST in the group such as Natalie, the one pageant sisters, etc. I think they carefully consider who to put first (from being very talented to being a favorite) and who to b put last. It is like the person who is the first to perform a solo. It is not the first person in line who is usually just a candidate but a specific veteran who can delivery a strong and memorable solo. My favorite was Nicole Hamilton.

Mine is pretty straightforward as it does not encompass my hobbies, work, life, family, or even my pets!! It is a family name encompassing many generations but it is not part of my real name. Was tired of using my cat's name!!

I was surprised at the lack of vets clustered around the 3 eliminated like we have seen previously. Breelan appeared ditzy when she had to think about what being a DCC meant to her. Come on!! That was a softball question and she couldn't even answer it. Jasmine's solo was embrassing and she and Ashley both were not good on the field. Didn't Breelan wear almost the identical unflattering costume last year also? Actually I thought it was the same one.

sleepyjean, yes Kelli did say a number of countries but I wasn't paying attention as clearly I was bowled over by the over 500 applicants!

I remember someone or at least 2 people singing for the audition. Perhaps it was in the 2 hr pilot

Now Kelli says over 500 girls tried out from 37 different states!!

Yes I observed it especially the right armpit

Mrs. EVH, the horse was like a saddle on a barrel and then I think another had a small children's toy horse to ride.

I think it is hand props only, no chairs, trees, dressers, carts, horses!!!

Is that Christina in the first photo? Really don't like this article

Does Stephanie look like a remake of Loren??

In the past it was ?Bobby Badger I think who took the photos and this year it was Sean Badger-?son? Is Bobby ill?

I think they probably ask a number of vets about "what do you think about vets being cut this year?" Maybe they are vets that Kelly may say could be on the chopping block or perhaps they ask all the veterans and then just run the clips of those who get cut.

I do think there are cuts made that Kelli did not agree with as either in the first 2 hour pilot or the 1st or 2nd season Kelli argued for someone who did a lot of community service but the other judges thought she should not return. I know she was upset over that cut as she has been over others she liked but were out danced or out powered. I am in education and we take chances on people, some of who look good but don't work out. We can never want it more for them than they do for themselves.

Wow, I have been a member of this forum for a number of years but it is now as if we have been hacked by people who don't act like forum members. What has happened? It was never this ugly when Cassie T. talk started.

I remember that for Loni and ?I can see her but can't remember the name, they got them in the kickline in the studio and said look to your right look to your left, now look at yourself in the mirror-you are looking at the next team! I didn't like the one when they called them up to get the photos and then said these are the tickets to the next season-Jordan Chanley year. Can we come up with some novel ways for them to announce it? Sort of a buffet of ideas!

To the person who asked about a marathon, there is one for Season 9 on Aug 2. Why do the show on Thursday??? I can't stay up that late!!!!!!

I remember that the DCC perform nightly in ?an amusement park. The girls went to watch them several years ago. I do think it keeps their presence as DCC alive.

Saw a post from Kitty and photo shows her, J & K along with Melissa. Said due to Michelle's schedule they will not have the powerhouse workouts on Thurs till Aug so don't know if that was about her studio or a former DCC coming to TC.

Remember DCC is also a modeling agency so they could have booked them through Kelli
