She is so delightfully bizarre. I know she isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I love her sense of humor.

I haven’t commented on here in awhile but I so strongly agree that I had to pop back on! I even mentioned it back on the TWOP forums when this season aired, but you put it much more eloquently @TB12 Judy genuinely seemed to like Taylor, and I think, coupled with her other transgressions, (whether they were real or imagined), it just fueled Cassie’s dislike for her.

So I recently learned this because I was researching advertising opportunities at my job: there are multi platform audio content entertainment companies that sell advertising on their various platforms, such as radio stations, podcasts, and streaming platforms, like Pluto TV. Their advertising is very specifically chosen to the viewer. You might be getting an advertisement because they utilized a geo-fence to target everyone in a specific area. So everyone in say Houston may get the same commercial for a car dealership. Or they might be using the Advertiser ID of your device to stream specific content to you based off of a number of factors like demographics, age, race, web pages you’ve visited, or your buying habits. It doesn’t matter what channel you’re on the streaming platform, if you change the channel, it’s going to still play the same commercials, for the most part. I haven’t watched Pluto TV in a while but I bet if I did, I would end up getting ads for menopause. Lol. Good times. Season 15 is where I stopped watching. I don’t have CMT so I’d have to purchase the season iTunes and I just couldn’t bring myself to waste the money. I may just suffer through those Pluto TV menopause commercials just to see.

I recall reading that she cavorted with some of the players. But that was never corroborated. I feel like the cmt boards had a lot of good behind the scenes info that we all just took at face value. And I vaguely recall one poster who was called out for being Judy. I don’t know if it was ever verified but it was SO entertaining. I wish that was still floating around in a web archive. Yep! TWOP became Previously TV which became Primetimer. But before TWOP, it was Mighty Big TV which I believe was a Dawsons Creek recap site. I was on there too but under a different name. Lots of fun controversy back then. Every time a new poster on here comments about how “mean” we are, I wonder what their reactions would have been to TWOP. They wouldn’t have made it 10 minutes on that forum before they were chewed up and spit out. And then I realize some current MTT:DCC fans were too young to even read back when the show and these forums started. Lol. Actually it was getting so harsh that I even stopped going on TWOP around Season 7. Interesting. I really liked her and remember being surprised by her cut. Wasn’t it her cut where Misty was really upset and was worried about Elizabeth going back to Misty’s apartment alone? 😔 She needs to come back on and spill the tea 17 years later! Statute of limitations has run out!

She seems like a very sweet lady. If I would have seen 2499 other girls at prelims, I’d have gone right home and back to bed. But…her hair style in the recent pictures is cracking me up…very Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo vibes.

Every time I see that episode it enrages me.

Correct. I hadn’t read anything regarding issues with either one of them after that but I haven’t kept up on the boards for a couple of years now beyond periodically checking in. I do recall a Holly Powell group text kerfuffle story.

I recall a post on here their rookie year (Season 12) that Gina and Rachel A were overheard commenting that they liked dancing next to Tara and/or Savannah because it made them look better - the implication being that Tara/Savannah were not good dancers and made them look better in comparison. But I think the post was from someone who overheard them talking at a restaurant (or something similar) from what I recall. Since forum rules dictate we can’t ask for “receipts” from a poster, I don’t think anyone ever asked for verification. But Gina specifically named Tara/Savannah as the girls she became “close” with when she was called into the office and questioned on her attitude. Maybe because she always danced next to Tara, they just ended up becoming friends. And going to the zoo together…so that’s cool 😂 This was the first I’ve heard about a Tara/Savannah situation in Season 13. But in a group of 46 women all trying to be one of the 36 most sought after women in Texas, I can’t say Im shocked there was occasional- or frequent- cattiness.

Agreed! Paige would be the only other makeover that I was lukewarm on. And you hit the nail on the head: curly hair with straight bangs…not a good look even for an absolutely gorgeous girl.

Karissa is my favorite makeover too! Those skinny eyebrows 🙈 🙈 Her personality, flawless figure, and kind-of-decent-ish dancing got her into TCC, I think. She’s one of my favorite TCCs of all time. Jordyn Ketchum is a *very* close second. She just came alive after her makeover. So happy to see her make it that year. Brittany Evans’ makeover always made me laugh when they fixed her eyebrows too. Gorgeous girl, but those eyebrows had their own problems 😂 I can’t think of a “bad” makeover. I mean they want these girls to be the 36 most beautiful women in Texas, so I never thought any of them would get the cycle 5 Cassandra of Americas Next Top Model treatment. I do feel like they never knew what do with Milan’s hair. The color she came in with wasn’t good but I don’t think they ever found the right fit for her. And I’m not sure why since she looks great on the Golden State Warriors team.

Omg. That is such a throwback. I watched when Marlena was possessed by the devil and Jensen Ackles played Sammy’s (Alison Sweeney) twin brother, Eric. 😆

I’ve always been of the belief that there is a specific audience for the calendars. You may not be that audience.

Always really liked her…she seemed so sweet and drama-free. I feel like she was a perfect example of what a DCC should be. I think a friend (or acquaintance, at least) of hers used to post on the forums around her last year on DCC. Also, holy crap, that baby is adorable.

Lily is so adorable but Alanna is *hair goals*. Love her smile too.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Gina-hater. I always liked her as a DCC and rooted for her. Quite honestly, thought she was better and more entertaining dancer than Holly Powell. I’d just take the look of Year 1 Gina over current Gina. She’s starting to morph into someone unrecognizable to me.
