Holly and professional dancing--what style of dance? And do you mean theatre?

That is ridiculous. I wonder what the hold out is with Dish.

Someone please help me with the CMT website! This morning I could watch Season 1, Episode 1 all the way through. I had to do some other stuff and came back for Episode 2. All of a sudden CMT said I had to sign in with my TV provider (DISH) which isn't even listed. Anyone have any ideas? I do get CMT on my DISH subscription. Why doesn't CMT even list it?

I know Jay works hard and is a great inspiration to the TCC. I hope this year he is back to his regular hair cut. I wonder if Neal McCoy will return.

I got a link to a short article about Madeline. I think it was a telephone interview of her mom. Her mom and dad said something about Madeline's determination to fix whatever DCC said needed to be fixed for her return to TC. And mentioned what an emotional and financial burden it was on the family. It must be wonderful to have parents like that, especially from a dad.

Thank you for being able to answer some questions! Each year we hear training camp candidates say how hard they have worked and how much they want to be on the team, and how much harder it really is than it looks, and then some of them decide not to go through the audition process the next year. After all that hard work, they just let it go! Do these ladies ever share their struggles with K & J and get advice? For some reason I think of Kelli as sort of a mother hen type. To me it seems that she is very nurturing with firm guidance. Her emotions at cut night seem very genuine.

Their greatest punishment will be the lack of endorsements (hopefully). What a stupid thing to do. I bet their parents are so embarrassed and wondered what went wrong. My mom always told me I better not do anything to embarrass them or I would be very sorry.

Wouldn't want to be a mod for love nor money....

But I don't consider these girls "adults" by any stretch of the imagination. I wish I had someone when I was 18-21 to lead me more into adulthood. You don't really know until you are over 40 how illogical your thought process can be when you were 18. I wasted 3 years on a guy--wish someone like K & J would have been there! I don't know how some of the moms and dads let their baby girl go to TC if not local.

TXstar35 I really, really, really like you. (smiley)

The interview skills of the ladies are so polished. Never once do you hear them say "you know" or "like" or "just saying."

Ya'll just wait until you are past 50! I barely even remember being 30 and would not want to go back (unless I can also keep the wisdom I've gotten since then). After watching other groups performing, I can truly appreciate the preciseness of the DCC. K & J and the leaders must work their butts off teaching and the girls themselves have to have something in them to be able to endure the pressure and perform with such perfection. I think I realize now why there are some one-timers. It is frankly just a whole lot of work and it was supposed to be more "fun."

I have a trainer (in showing my dog as an amateur) If she isn't blatantly clear with me I don't seem to recall the correction when I need to remember the most. One time she took me by the shoulders and said "this is what you are doing" and "this is what you need to do." I got it after that, especially when she told me I walked like a drunk sailor.

I do think they still do he big sister thing. Sydney was lucky enough to be Vivian's that last year I think. Or maybe it was her group leader.

Thanks to our list maker for helping me recognize some of them! What are the "favored" positions for the triangle besides the front one? Holly (young Holly) looks like she is in the middle. That's not that good is it?

Since ya'll are on the subject of what in the world is going on with FN in general--The TV was on the other day and Cooks or Cons was on. I had never seen it but watched a few minutes. I like the host (I think his name is Jeffrey) just fine--he is on Chopped. But one of the judges was the girl that is the lead character in Orange is the New Black. At least I think that is who it was. Is that the best they could do for a judge? Perhaps she knows something about food, but it really surprised me.

Has Madeleine's dancing really gotten that much better? Last year she was hounded for her un DCC dancing and then cut and this year before the team is barely announced she is at the top of the game. She must have worked her butt off!!

Darn--that is an excellent outlook to this whole fiasco!! You have a really good point there!

I just read above here that Tregaye already worked on the Kitchen Sink. That being true, she should not have even been allowed to be a contestant. I knew when I saw the wretched purple lipstick had been replaced with red she was going to win. Kudos to those who already figured out the fix was in. I just tried to watch the finale. I just couldn't do it. I predict they will find a place for Damiano somewhere.

I can't imagine that Bobby Flay will be willing to do this show next year. If he does, he doesn't have as much clout as I first thought. One of his behind the scene comments was very revealing as to his opinion--"Get me out of here," Dear Mr. Tuschman: I feel your pain but am so glad you are not associated with this travesty. Is Susie Fogleson still an employee?

Maybe she is the dishwasher.

I recorded this episode due to church revival and fast forwarded to the end to see who won, thinking I could go back and watch the whole thing after that. The best thing about the whole 10 weeks was the bloopers of Bobby and Giada. Other than that, I am speechless.

I watched her video again and she did seem to feel very "DCC" while she performed. I'd say her family paid for the translator.

What if she needs to yell at Yuko? I watched a Japanese series on Netflix called Atelier. It was quite good even with subtitles. But it sure takes a lot of words in japanese to equal just a couple in english. This will definitely be a "compelling" (to use DCC wording) year for MTT. Hit your lines! あなたのラインをヒット Anata no rain o hitto

I'd like to hear from our "insider/s" on her/their opinions as to the ladies who were cut, realizing of course words must be tempered and chosen carefully. If Kelli reads this board, I wonder what she thinks of all of us who were rooting so much for Amy. I didn't care for her at first either. And I am certainly glad Madeline made it.
