    S12.E07: Personality Testing

    in S12

    · Edited by Rosiemac

    I just rewatched the episode again and the one thing that left an impression on me was Lauren's smile. After watching her interact with the vets she seems right at home and had such a real and genuine smile on her face. I find most of the nurses I know have that as part of their nature. She will definitely be an asset on Show Group interacting with the public. Plus, she definitely has to be smart to be a cardiac nurse.

    I just had to laugh...saw how I repeatedly said "definitely";)

    I think it was Kitty who asked Milan why she didn't audition.

    What was up with Brianna's fake TX accent?  Wouldn't she have an more of an East Coast NY or NJ accent like Danielle did?

    She grew up in Delaware......believe it of not,there is more of a accent there...I grew up outside of Philly but went to high school in Delaware and everything from water to tomato was spoken differently...I felt like singing that song you say tomato and I say to mat to let's call the whole thing off;) Even just one state south in Maryland, where I live now, it is even more Southern...North Jersey  and South New Jersey are also very different.

    I don't think I ever saw Judy or Kelli cry before when they had to release a candidate. You can tell how much they really loved her. I also noticed how high Brianna was able to get her leg when Kitty was having them stretch. She tried her best and she made many good friends. I got the impression Kelli and Judy really want her to take some power classes and come back. I thought I heard her say other than that you have it. She is not just a beautiful girl, but just as sweet on the inside. I guess you can call her a sweetheart. I am confident when she is able to master the power component, she will hopefully be able to be one of America's Sweethearts:) I LOVE Keyra as well. Such a bright smile and great performer! I loved that they were able to show the charity work the team does as well. Kelli was correct, they were meeting some real american hero! How about the vet who survived Iwo Jima. Warmed my heart to see these men honored on national tv as well! I have to say I was crying as well.

    I didn't want to start anything by saying she has a 'new jersey look' but..... ;-)  (i love you NJ!!!!!) But there is a marked difference in the southern look (soft hair, soft features, very feminine) and the upper east coast/NY look (often a little 'harder'/high fashion) .  Not that one is more attractive than the other, I like the east coast look, they are just very different and this girl has that, plus is in the middle of the pack in attractiveness.  There is only so much you can do to bring a girl from 'east coast medium' to 'southern pretty'. 

    I know what you mean. I have seen the Jersey Shore....there are some who go a little heavy handed on the make up. My brother lived in Atlanta for 15 years so I understand what you are saying. I grew up outside of Philly and went to school in Delaware, kinda like Brianna, so we both have to same style, though she is much prettier than me;) I used to kid my friends from the south that they had perfected mascara application!

    yeah, this ^^

     

    They barely even mention the vets in this show (oh, hey there, Chantal is still a DCC?? Wouldn't have known if I didn't see her in an IG video from last weekend).... so I bet they will say nothing about Erica and Holly, they just suddenly won't be there.  I noticed in this weeks episode that Holly has a ton of KT tape on her leg....  unless something catastrophic happened WHILE the cameras were there (doubt it) I wouldn't be surprised if she's gone this week or next and no mention of it. 

    This show is really about TCC's (although I WANT MORE ABOUT WHATS UP WITH THE VETS!!!!).

    ETA: ballroom girl is unattractive.  Sorry. Not like hideous ugly or anything, but she is not up to the level of the jesus-loving southern ladies that DCC is looking for.  There is nothing that DCC makeovers could do to help her, she has an 'east coast' look. 

    Not the east coast i live in;)

    I like it too, and honestly it's not a bad summer job for an 18 year old!  The girls do get paid for their rehearsal and CMT camera time, and for someone who is green at this style, they're getting paid to take dance classes they'd normally pay for out of pocket.  I'm always glad they keep the strugglers in style who are otherwise gifted...it might not make a difference this year, but hopefully she'll come back next year better than ever.  

    See, I don't think Brianna had this as a lifelong dream, or maybe I missed where she mentioned it.  After not making Rockettes, I'm so curious how DCC ended up next on her bucket list.  @Rosiemac - can you shed some light on this?  After not making the Rockettes, what brought Brianna out to Dallas?  TCU and SMU have dance programs (other surrounding schools might too) so was she thinking she'd do DCC while attending college?  It seems like staying in NYC might have been better for her particular gifts.  I remember saying something similar about Holly way back in the day, but figured she might have wanted to do DCC to maintain dance skill and technique while attending college and growing up a bit, then hitting LA/NYC/Etc.  Doesn't seem like it turned out that way for Holly, but whooooooo knows?

    Honestly I never asked her mom...I know she is excited about the opportunity to dance for one of the best dance teams out there. I would imagine every dancer has it on their wish list. The intention is to go to college while participating as a DCC. I have only spoken about the present not the future. When you have a passion for dance you have a passion for dance.

    I actually think Brianna CAN do them, which is why she is still there and Erin isn't. Of course it's going to take time for her body to not be as fluid and to be more powerful, which for me Brianna can't do within the next 5-ish weeks of training camp. Lacey and Jinelle had to change the way their bodies moved in a sense as well, but they already had more experience in hip hop/pom style than Brianna.  

    I liked that thw hip hop guy gave props to her and I kinda understand why they are keeping her as long as they can. They know she isn't ready for this year, but they are teaching her as much as they can while they still have other girls to cut.

    I was so happy to see him compliment her on doing well with his choreography. I think it was the first time CMT actually showed some of her good work. I get the feeling they are only finding the mistakes...and all the girls are making them, they are just not being highlighted. Maybe that is why she is still there. She is really trying hard and is making progress. Part of me thinks the producers are trying to make her cry in the front of the camera.

    A lot of people are jumping on the "CMT intentionally bungled the GL announcement" bandwagon and, yes it was annoying to see that in the episode, but there are other explanations that people seem to be forgetting.  Maybe Erica asked not to be shown so much this season and, when she left (for whatever reason), she asked that it not be shown or gave them legal papers saying that she wasn't to be shown/highlighted/named in any way? If that's the case,especially if they were already editing the show, it could be that the change, while awkward, was a relatively minor one and fairly easy to do.  It could also be that someone in the editing room DIDN'T know who Erica was and thought that KaShara was Erica.  Maybe they accidentally deleted the footage of Erica's announcement or the footage got corrupted and they couldn't reshoot it by the time the show got to the editing phase.  Who knows?

    We don't know the real reason behind the editing, we're not GOING to know (due to privacy and legal reasons) and to get upset at bad editing in one scene when we don't know the reason behind it AND we know the show is heavily scripted and edited seems to be rather . . . .and I'll leave it there since I don't want to insult anyone, even unintenionally.  It's been mentioned numerous times that there's hours of footage that can't/won't be used on the show so why get SO upset.  I know Erica's well liked by a lot of people, but I tend to think she would have already announced WHY she left if she was going to and, while someone might already have asked (or will ask) why she left the DCC , it won't be by me since I'm a complete stranger to her and think that it would be kind of creepy to be asked for an explanation about a very personal decision by a complete stranger, especially on the Internet.

    YMMV.

    I want to say only the Shadow knows but most people on this site are probably too young to catch that reference? I like what you said!

    I wondered about that because when Erin (or Brianna?) got called in, Milan was waiting for her.

    Milan received a Barbie along with Bri...maybe she was connected with her and wanted to make sure she was okay?

    @Rosiemac what do you mean with Brianna spending two summers with the Rockettes? Were these week long intensives, camp, etc? Not doubting you, I just want to know more.

    It is different technique and levels with Rockettes vs DCC.

    Brianna wasn't ready, and I think that when she got there, decided she really didn't want to be there, but I can't fault an 18 year old kid for changing her mind.

    She did the invitational with them. The kicks use different muscles. She definitely wanted to be there? google the article about Jackie Scott. It was interesting. Remember there is definitely editing for the storylines.

    I'm actually confused about the kicks. Kelli just said that she has beautiful extension, maybe something about her kicks as well (I don't really remember) but definitely didn't say that she needs to work on them. I think there was a reason why she couldn't fully do the kicks at auditions-which explains why Kelli isn't worried about it. There's no way a lyrical dancer who was in any capacity involved with the rockettes would have such low kicks.

    I just reread an article from Jacie Scott who made the Rockettes...she mentioned one of the differences is they perform the kicks eye high...i believe it actually is a different technique and uses different muscles. When you watch the clip from Brianna's solo in the episode it showed her kicking pretty high in her solo routine. I really wish they had shown more of her solo. So maybe that is why she felt confident that Brianna could make it happen during TC.

    Ok, maybe I am just slow but I don't get the "empty your bucket" thing.  Can someone explain it to me?

    Jerry Jones says it to the team...give it your all on the field...empty your bucket

    Yeah @ShellyB is in the house!!!

    I happen to think that in that GL photo, KaShara is the one whose figure looks best; she has hourglass curves and an actual waist. The other three are too straight through the middle.

    I think Kashara has beauty and charisma. She looks like she is having fun and is the perfect blend of the old school cheerleader(remember I am 51 and cheerleading used to be about cheering on the team) and the modernized dancing cheerleader. There are probably many fans in the stands who thinks she look just right. She also has her weight distributed like you said in an hourglass figure, think Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield. I don't know a lot about cheerleading, but what I do know from watching the show is Kelly and Judy would not let anyone in that spot who they thought had any issues. Her waist is toned and her smile is contagious. Just a thought but with Holly off the team, maybe this is a distraction so it won't be go glaring that Holly is gone;)

    100 % in agreement with you.  I live in NJ - just outside of NYC - we all have traffic.  You just deal with it, it's part of life unless you live in an extremely rural area. No one likes it.  To complain about it on a promotional video is just very unprofessional.   Was that video released by the DCC? If so I wonder why they would release something showing any type of negativity- surely they could have edited it out?

    I just have to add @njcate traffic is NYC/NJ is insane. I can imagine it is bad is the Dallas area but I am so glad I do not have to drive up there any more;) I wonder if she said it without thinking and wished later that they had edited it out.

    Just caught up with all the episodes so far this season. PLUS all the posts here pertaining to them.  Question:  I saw a close-up of that tall, young girl Brianna's face sheet when the judges were deliberating who would be invited to finals.  It said she was from Newark, Delaware (home of the University of Delaware - Go Blue Hens!).  On here, I see a lot of people referring to a Brianna from NJ.  Is this the same person?  Is she from Newark, New Jersey or Newark, Delaware?   

    Bri lives in NJ but went to high school for the arts in Delaware.
