I think it's necessary for the "weeding out" process, if you will. What I do have an issue with, is how many get taken into training camp solely with the intention of cutting them. That part is obviously all for the show, and with some girls it's kind of obvious that's the only reason they were taken into camp, which is totally unfair to those girls. Forming a team right after finals does pose a few problems though. We have seen enough girls that were amazing with just a few dances, and particularly their own style. Training camp will show whether they are capable of literally going that extra mile as Shutterbugcam pointed out. Not sure if it should last that many weeks though. I'm sure they can achieve a lot in 3 to 4 weeks. And I fully agree with what was said on taking girls in as "cannon camera fodder" Just for the purpose of cutting them and make a "great" show. They really shouldn't do that. The audience for this show is more into the dance aspect than the tear jerking drama. Well, at least I am. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124145-2021-2022-squad/page/22/#findComment-7358699

I would watch a documentary style show about making up the team, personally, and I think based on the success of "Cheer" on Netflix a lot of folks would. The dance component is fantastic, and I think it's interesting watching how they put it all together for both the cheer/dance aspect as well as the appearances. After all this time on the air, though, this show falls right along the same line as "The Bachelor" for me where sure, winning is nice, but look at all of the opportunities that can come along! Some of the gals that didn't make the squad at all like Kat Dunn have been able to make strong connections and friendships that have been tremendously beneficial. Difference being that these women, even the ones who don't make the squad, have a skill other than being camera ready, of course. KDunn isn't the best dancer out there, but she's still fun to watch and has a spark that popped on camera. I think that's a big part of why so many candidates are camera ready - it's not just being a cheerleader, you're featured on the show and can potentially also build your brand, as long as you're humble about it and don't tell Kelli. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124145-2021-2022-squad/page/22/#findComment-7359378

I believe she said that the idea of an extended training camp was introduced during her tenure on the team in the 90s. I'd be curious to know how they explained this new way of doing things. Was it because it was truly so difficult to narrow down the talent, or were there other reasons? I'd also be curious to know if it was always 5 nights a week, all summer long, or if it started out shorter or fewer nights a week and grew from there. Received…technically, my Rookie season, Training Camp lasted until the first game. We were told that cuts would be made during TC, however, they could be happen at anytime throughout the season, and often there were seasonal casualties. We took our squad photo in late June, along with our headshots, so for the most part, our squad was pretty much decided by July. During my second year, the new girls were referred to as Training Camp Candidates, and were also told cuts would last through the summer. We took our squad photo that year in mid July, along with headshots. Pretty sure during most of my 5 yr tenure, photos were in July. Rehearsals have always been 4-5 nights a week, sometimes on the weekends if you were on Show Group….we would have 8 hour rehearsals, for 1-2 weekends to learn all show choreography…kind of like a mini camp. With all of this being said, auditions were in April, usually the first or second weekend for Prelims and Semis, then the last weekend for Finals.

I always thought it was a really neat way to both prepare the ladies for the upcoming season by giving them lots of time to become cohesive as a group through practice, but also to ensure they weren't making snap judgments about who would be best suited for the team. Some incredibly beautiful soloists might not be able to catch on to the nuances of dancing on a team, but that's not the kind of thing you can evaluate easily over a short period, even with references. A longer training camp could also potentially prepare girls for future auditions, even if they didn't make it the first go-round. Someone like Erin, who is an amazing DCC, might have struggled a bit had she made it the first season rather than the second. Training camp the first year gave her the opportunity to prepare herself for the rock star she became the second. I also always liked it because it seemed like it would give the girls an opportunity to bond and make friends, and having free access to intensive dance instruction through training camp could be such an amazing opportunity. I feel like distaste for the idea of sacrificial lambs for the sake of TV is incredibly valid, but I honestly don't think there is any need for that, and why I don't think that's something they deliberately do. There is (or can be edited to be) drama and tension without losing a finite and limited opportunity for the organization to help create potential future rock stars. I definitely think Kelli likes to take some unconventional chances for TCCs, but that's another point in favor of having a more extended camp rather than short-term auditions. She seems to have a "mentor-style" personality where she likes to give people a chance. Chelsea Chaney might be an example of this - even though she was noted as having a "clumsy, clunky" dance style, she had so much power and sparkle that all she really needed to do over time was to concentrate on polishing it.

Of course they CAN, they're the ones in charge, so they obviously CAN do whatever they want. However, if you think girls like Carla from Season 7 were brought in for any reason other than MTT as a show, you're fooling yourself. Her interview was shown to be bad when she didn't know that Barack Obama was the 2012 Democratic Presidential nominee, and then the whole picture incident (which they had to have known about prior to bringing her into camp, unless Carla's ex had the most impeccable timing of sending those pics into Kelli. She also didn't seem like such a good dancer that she should have taken the spot of any of the 5 vets that were cut at those finals. Colby from Season 10, and the whole "fan vote" experiement is another example. It was also said somewhere on this forum before that there were never that many girls (typically 45 girls these days) taken into training camp before the show started, so that's obviously a production decision. 17 hours ago, raindancer said: I always thought it was a really neat way to both prepare the ladies for the upcoming season by giving them lots of time to become cohesive as a group through practice, but also to ensure they weren't making snap judgments about who would be best suited for the team.

The 45-50 girls in Training Camp only came about with the show. There's absolutely no reason for that many girls in Training Camp except for drama.

The issue I have with training camp being so long is that in order to do it, some people have to move to Dallas and give up jobs (I think most workplaces won’t let you take two months’ leave), only to be possibly cut after such a long time. You’re basically either committing to live in Dallas for the year no matter what or ready to find a new job if you’re cut. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124145-2021-2022-squad/page/22/#findComment-7367263

MC123 March 28, 2022 Share March 28, 2022 I know there has been speculation about this before, but now the girls are on the calendar shoot and those who are retiring have basically been confirmed, I want to put my predictions forward for group leaders GLs- Ashlee, Caroline, Jalyn and Kelcey 2GLs- Chandi, Claire, Armani, McKenzie or Marissa I don’t think Kat will get a leadership role- I don’t think K&J trust her enough. Claire and Chandi were next to their GLs and opposite their 2GLs in the group triangles so would have got good experience from this season. Armani has been towards the front of formations in half time performances and they seem to trust her to fill in other peoples spots when they were unable to perform at the end of last season. It could go either way for me with Marissa and McKenzie- both good performers and I could seem them in leadership roles more than the other current 2nd years. I think they may revert back to one point this season and I hope it is Ashlee 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124145-2021-2022-squad/page/22/#findComment-7368406

There are elements to being a DCC that need longer to assess. If you come from a background where high kicks and jump splits are the norm then OK but if you are a great dancer without those assets then you may need to prove yourself during TC. Same goes for field entrance and ability to communicate. Stamina is certainly important, if not to prove you have it then eight weeks of TC will certainly help with it. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124145-2021-2022-squad/page/22/#findComment-7368703

Be it a Barbie winner for solos who can't pick up the power pom fast enough, or a delightful personality that wins them over in the end that they keep instead of a pretty but boring dancer. Other than the short interview and whatever gossip they've got from the dance industry, the audition process doesn't give enough personality. Just a quick glance.

M1977G March 30, 2022 Share March 30, 2022 Wow, 28 returning vets. And I like them all! I am really intrigued and excited to see who gets leadership roles and points next year. With so many strong vets, I don't see them going back to one point. And why not share the spotlight? Of this whole group, Marissa is the only one I didn't favor in their rookie year, and she grew on me some last year. Maybe it was because she had fewer talking heads her second season, but she appeared less pageant-y and to interact genuinely with her team mates. She is a favorite of TPTB and will keep getting prime formation spots, but I would think/hope they might pick a more mature vet over Marissa next year for GL2. She still seems so, so young. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124145-2021-2022-squad/page/22/#findComment-7372215

I imagine all 4th/5th years will get a leadership role, which leaves 2 2GL spots available. I could see Elli, Darian or McKenzie getting 2GL. In fairness, any of the soon to be 3rd years could be though! It doesn't happen often but Tori would be a good shout for a 2nd year to jump the usual queue. She seems mature, well-liked, is a comeback girl and it looks like she does quite a lot of appearances. Just throwing it out there! 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124145-2021-2022-squad/page/22/#findComment-7372295

She is the youngest of them all. No need to rush to give her any position. If she doesn't come up with a new dream (like Disney) I think she'll stay for as long as K and J will let her. For Marissa's interest she shouldn't be given a position if she wishes to have a long tenure. If she get's a leadership position early on and get's more attention, us fans will get too much of her and come to hate her. (I wouldn't want that) Look at Maddie. She got on the team at 19 (?) and became leader at her 3rd and point at her 4th and left after her 5th year. I feel like she was forced to leave after having two years as point to make room for the next girls. Unlike others who had a career to focus on, or a family to make, or a lack of energy to continue dance, that led them to retire Maddie had to retire simply because she had achieved it all. Which is glorious in a way but also sad because she seems to not be doing anything cooler right at the moment. (but who am I to judge) Looking at this years retiring vets everyone seems to obviously fit one of the "retiring because she either has a career to focus on, a family to make, lacks energy to continue" categories except for Gina. I wonder if she was told by K and J to retire, or if she's in the 4th category of retirement reasons of "found a better dance job". (like Tess) 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124145-2021-2022-squad/page/22/#findComment-7372327

I think she's underrated by most, but will blossom more and could be a fan favorite the longer she stays on. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124145-2021-2022-squad/page/22/#findComment-7372745
