[S13.E07: Big Time Dance]

I understand that Gina is a wonderful dancer however every time I watch her she seems ahead of others. Someone commented previously that it was because she puts extra pops and hair flips in. However in the contemporary routine for show group when she was "telling a story" she was so far ahead. Was that purposeful?

[S13.E06: Jump Split Reckoning]

I know it's every season and am sure it's been addressed on here before -- but I have to say it again. Way too many slow- mo wooooooooshes. I can't stand them. Let the girls dance in real time and stop moving the camera so much. Thanks CMT.

Also I don't mind Jay segments in general -but I agree this was too staged. Does Jay actually help the girls in day to day training camp? or is his role purely made for tv?

I think this is Tina... 

Oh thank you!! That was my first guess but wasn't sure. They all have the same hair. LOL.

Not sure if I can post youtube here or not but the title of the video is : 
dallas cowboys cheerleaders: MJ dance medley

Am sorry if this video has been posted here before. It's 1988 and I see Kelli right up front but can't locate Tina Kalina in the video. Was looking to see if her dance was "big" like VK. Can anyone see if she's in there?

What year was Cassie made group leader? And what year did they use her to fill in for someone who was injured? I am trying to watch those episodes  =but having trouble finding which seasons.

[S13.E05: Getting the DCC Look]

I was happy Kelli finally showed that she does care about Dayton. But I'm frustrated with the edits.  Dayton was praised by the alumni on the night of rehearsals, but we didn't get to see why? All we are shown are the 10 second blips of her forgetting something and its looped over and over again. It gives us the impression that she never has good moments which must be inaccurate. They show VK fairly enough. Some powerful good moments and a few out of control ones. In my opinion Dayton is getting the worst edit.  Now to be fair, she should not have been late. You leave the house an hour early if you have to!

I know we are more focused on Erica's situation, but daaamn I was so mad Taryn got cut. It was the first time it was obvious the girl wasn't expecting to be cut and she was mad (I'm sure Kelli didn't like it as she expects each girl to act like she deserved it and hates herself for disappointing them) and she was right to be. She was cut literally at the last minute, while last time she was called in they just said they appreciated her hard work and it's obvious she is getting better. I would have burnt the Star down if i were at her position.

I agree with this! She looked mad and she has a right to be. She was cut for "blending," when she knows there are a few others that are struggling to do the dances correctly. If I were K and J I would have wanted better editing. They kept calling out other girls for their mistakes and then they cut Taryn. I realize this was for good "shocking TV," but it really just makes K and J look stupid. And the rest of us are left scratching our heads.

[2017 Tryouts and Training Camp: Candidates Included]

First of all I don't think Holly's smile in the locker room was out of disrespect. I think she was trying not to lose it on national television. Secondly, I am hoping Holly quit. This type of thing has happened before and has not been aired on CMT in this manner.  Holly knows that and is probably most upset that she was made to be this seasons villain (granted she brought this on herself). But the straw that broke her back is likely that Jenna doesn't get the same bad light shined upon her on CMT - despite committing the same offenses.
