It was posted earlier that some of the ladies who were cut are reading this forum, very possible. It's also possible there's ladies out there reading who wish to audition in the future. I'll never defend bad decisions by TPTB but almost nothing will stop 500 to 1000 showing up for auditions every year. They'll go through the gauntlet and dance on hot coals to wear those boots. I know it's a naive statement for me to make but I wish they didn't have to go through the brutal drama show to live their dream.
