So nice to see Jaylyn featured after she has been such a good vet and one of my faves for so long. Seems like maybe they decided to stop punishing her and (fingers crossed) let her back in showgroup!

I noticed that now we have a digital board we cant see who got stickers from guest judges as well much opportunity to see who moved up or down on the list. I'd be very interested if anyone below the line moves up or down over the weeks. I always got the feeling there was not much movement and they pretty much know who will be cut within 1 or 2. If so, they don't need to keep them a long time like you are thinking. It would also be interesting to see if someone moves up into top 36 from below the line.

I watched this year and wondered how Judy does not lose it. I know they are just learning it but the lines looked terrible!

To my recollection it is the first time they made a point to HAVE a box. I think Kelli always had a "cry in your pillow" attitude but this is the CMT new and improved I care, but I will still cut you Kelli. lol

Sometimes Kelli picks someone she wants who is close to making the team and Judy just has to deal with them in the season. Other times I think they really like someone and decide to keep them as long as possible in training camp not because they are going to "make it" but because they want them to have the longest practice/opportunity with them to make it the next year. I remember them doing this with Alexandra? who was a beautiful AA schoolteacher who had total package but was slow to learn choreo. I wonder if this is what they are doing with Ashlee perhaps?

Can I tell you my story of woe? I am out of town, and taking my time drinking a glass of wine at the hotel bar and GUESS WHAT? I missed all but the last 15 minutes of DCC. I had NO IDEA that Marriott carries CMT. This hotel just went up two notches in my book! Have to wait until Sunday, grr. only plus, the wine was good!

This... she is so pretty and seems very relatable. Tall girls need to live down in the deep plie and she also tends to lack power. I love her and I think they do to, but it does not seem like she is connecting with it just yet. I agree, she needs video next to a tall powerhouse!

Yes, but they took in SO MANY TCCs, the messaging perhaps makes the most sense this season. idk, TPTB be crazy.

I remember the bad haircolor and the constant crying. You have to be able to handle the pressure or Kelli will eat you for lunch ! lol I was trying to remember who came back and all they talked about was wanting to give her a chance because of her haircut. Some of this is so arbitrary! :)

I was really surprised by Kylie... she was such a whiner last time they talked. Kelli has little sympathy for that and sees it as a weakness, IMO. I thought she either has a really good GL who told her to play to her strengths or she came up with that "let me show you what I can do in show group" on her own.... either way Kelli will remember that and respect that if she tries out again. But yeah, no power so not going to happen this round. :(

It was nice to h ave the vet workshop and little takes from Lexie, Gina, and Ashlee. I liked this part of the episode. I'd love to see more of these moments.

The board was not close enough for me to read names. I can tell Ashley W and Melanie were below the line because of their haircuts. Bring it closer so we can actually learn something and see who got stickers, so we can see who moved up and moved down.. I hope someone can post that board here. Kaydianna and another hopeful are well intrenched with the veterans. I always like to see who the last veteran is.... last time it was Amanda and since she has been in showgroup I found it puzzling. This time I cant tell which vet is last but it isnt her. It appears Kelee is below the line and the way they have been featuring her I did not know she was at risk at all, so that makes me sad. I really like Ashley W she has the perfect DCC look and seems so sweet, but she is messing up alot and does dance really small, they should have cut her this episode. Why drag it on, seems heartless.

Ugh.... Maddie Maddie Maddie. I know I am overruled but I never got the hype.

I thought it was really inappropriate of Kelli to ask Travis his opinion about someone's social media when he did not see it. No, actually I dont think they should ask a choreographer about that at all. (I dont even like Ava, but really)

For the love of god how many seasons do we need to say this? If they can not kick and do a quality jump split do not let them in training camp. There is not enough time to improve that significantly during training camp.

I like chrisilla but I dont need to hear her story. It's not her fault, they asked for it CMT. Please just show us some dancing and nice smiles... it's cheerleading not a fundraiser for cancer.

It's Kellis passive agressive way of saying your DCC moments are not memorable. She of course remembers every stinking moment of the other legacy VK's journey!

I wish I knew what actual song they danced to. Maybe Im showing my age but I found the booty ijggling and twerking to be a little vulgar. but that's me! lol i love these girls are so young they don't get Kelli's references! David Lee Ross!

Oh my! Kelli was nice to Madeline S and showing her mom as a legacy and taking a moment for that. So much nicer than I remember her treating Madeline S last time she was in TCC!

Was this just a talking point or some sort of "flaw" Kelli perceived? Kelli is so random, who knows. I don't want to dwell on it too much because she is in Kelli's office so early on she is likely gone before the end of the series, LOL. It's always a good sign if they don't feature you too much!

I wouldn't put too much weight into the vets not saying anything. The show mostly focuses on struggling candidates, and may not have interviewed vets. Someone said on a post somewhere that Melissa Reid Paige did a virtual clinic for vets in the summer that covered this, if true this would not have been new info to them. I hope they do incorporate these stretches into their daily routine, but if not certainly the dancers now have several new ideas for additional stretching techniques.

Lord, they NEVER have tissues. I think it's terrible and so predictable that some girls will cry and need them. Maybe this is their method to get the girl out faster, because she wants to blow her nose and blot her eyes and has to find the nearest exit to do so! It makes the show so short if you FF through commercials and most of the personal stories... but it does keep you sane :)

When they were positively commenting on her in an earlier episode I thought I just didnt see what others saw. She reminded me of VK being too wild and uncontrolled in movements. But that's me, there are plenty of others to like. If a guest judge says she's good I trust it.

So then why did that not happen? Kelli said she appreciated Daphne fighting for her spot. I got the feeling there was not a real choice

Me too.! I thought Ashlinn was a little soft last year and just came back stronger. Now to be fair they aren't showing Tori as much. but Im routing for Ashlinn this year.
