I don't get the Jasmine cut, and she didn't look heavy in the video posted on Twitter of her at finals.  I wonder if she violated a rule during the season or just really screwed up her interview.

IMO it had something to do with that picture or player or whatever.  And if she gained an ounce of weight over her "audition weight" from the last season she was gonna be on the bubble anyway.  Only have to wait another month to find out for sure.

 

ETA - They could have asked her to explain the player "situation" and didn't like her answer also....again JMO

Jasmine was always one of the weakest dancers and to me, it was definitely clear she gained weight. I don't think she's improved much, if any, compared to her rookie year and the picture with Sterling Moore definitely didn't do her any favors either. But I'm also betting she might have struggled a little during panel interviews

Wonder if SM got in trouble also? Just googled and he's now with the TB Bucs

They'll probably dedicate like one minute to it even thought we are all dying to know!

 

If that... Remember when Carmen was cut in season 3 (I think?) she was also a 3 year vet reauditioning for her fourth season, and her cut wasn't covered beyond a clip of her walking away in tears.  No discussion of where she went wrong or anything. 

Found this tweet from Kelli - Looks like we'll know who made the team in a matter of a couple wks.

Given that only three girls have been cut so far, I'm assuming one of the upcoming rehearsals will be a blood bath with 4-5 cuts.

Can someone pls refresh my memory who's been cut already?  Thx

Wasn't she the one that was like "that's not gonna happen this year" or something not too long before she was released?

I just heard from one of the girls that goes to Kitty's that Madeline (the mormon girl) also got cut with Rose.

 

 

4 cuts down , 6 more to go

 

I'm not sure if this has already been covered, but I couldn't see it anywhere.  Here is a pic from Sarah Gourley Idziak's training camp class on June 25 - correct me if I'm wrong, but I can only count 41 TCC's?  So if Colby, Emily, Madeleine & Rose are out - who is missing?  Can anyone spot Raylee?

I saw on Shelbi Crawford's twitter one week ago, someone asked her in a comment how she was doing with TC and she said something like, "great, four more weeks of camp and six more cuts to make!"  So yeah, I think they are going to have a few nights coming up where more than one girl is let go.  Kelli probably expects them to have practiced non stop while she was gone and will not have much patience for people who don't have it together at this point... will be interesting to see!

 

And regarding Carmen Butler, yeah, she was the one who said before final solos that 'sometimes vets get cut but we're not going to think about that, because that's not going to happen this year!"  And then it was a bloodbath for vets that season.  Kelli Jo was cut, Erica Jenkin's bff, and several more. 

 

Honestly, I am kind of surprised that Courtney Johnson is still there.  I think she is a cutie but she does NOT have the DCC look to me at all.  Maybe she will be so awesome with the choreography that they'll keep her (and I know she's a friend of Sam Finglass) but I just can't see her as being super photogenic and glamorous.  I felt that way about Madeline too and she is gone.  We shall see.

I just watched that portion of MTT season 3 . Surprised that Kathryn Dunn was called 2nd when the names were being read off.

 

Vets cut were:

Carmen Butler

Michelle Mozak

Leah Mullinax

Kelli Jo Stauffacher

Kristin Hagar ('06 rookie, auditioned 2x but never made it back)

 

Leah M was the only one who spoke in front of the camera as the others didn't say anything because they were very upset. Carmen, Leah M, and Michelle went on to become Mavs dancers along with cut TCCs Katie S, Leah P and Alex B on the 2008 squad.

The mass cut of Carmen, Leah, Michelle, Andrea, and Kelli Jo was at the beginning of season 3 (2008-2009 season). Kristin Hager was cut at finals as a vet in season 2. She came back in season 3 to try again but did not make it past finals. She did not count as a vet cut that year because she was re-auditioning as a rookie.

Here is a instagram video of Taylor working on her hip flexers...high kick muscles .

Aww...glad to see Kitty giving her a shout out!! I really would like to see Taylor get her kicks and make the team.

Meh. I'm not necessarily rooting "against" Taylor, I just think that she's just..not it. I commend her for going after her dreams but I just don't think there's anything special there from what I've seen of her beyond her looks. She's a great dancer, but DCC style? Kicks? I'm not quite sold yet..perhaps I'll have to wait to see her on the show. I may be a convert lol

I think that's kind of why I like her.  She is one I think could become really great if given the opportunity.  My main worry for her is weight. SHE IS NOT HEAVY.  But she has a body type that reminds me of Kali...shorter and curvy.  Even if they aren't heavy they can appear that way if they aren't super careful. 

 

NOT trying to start another back and forth for 20 pages though on 'I like taylor' 'I can't stand taylor' 'she's pretty' 'she's not' LOL  So I'll stop there. 

 

Random question, does Megan Fox still help out with training camp or has she moved on long ago?? Rewatching season 3 and I think she is so great with the girls.

I so agree!  She looks way too old and out of shape.  Also, her kicks are low and if you watch the video of her dancing (the one we had to vote on prior to final auditions), she dances like a chicken -- all frenetic and not at all pretty.  I would be shocked and disappointed if she made it.

Looks like TCC Shelbi is doing My Fit Foods. Wonder if it's a Kelli/Judy-encouraged decision for Training Camp or if it's just a quick pick up drink. She looks pretty fit to me. If it is, I wonder who else they have on the My Fit Foods "challenge."

That surprises me about Shelbi. She uploaded an Instagram picture of herself with a sports top and cut off workout pants and she looked great and in shape! Just my opinion

I wonder if they pick some girls to do it who are thin/fit but don't eat very healthy...like a Taylor (from season 6 - mullet haircut Taylor). She had an awesome body but ate SO poorly and it was affecting her performance.  It would be kind of smart for them to do that, so that people can't say they are picking on the heavier girls. Just a thought.

Do you know Taylor personally? You post a lot about how much you don't want her to make team. Seems personal.

I'm confused as to why so many on here dislike Melissa being on the show. I guess I thought it was good for the girls to have someone on their side. Though yes, I did not like how she seemed to favor Breelan, I try to remember that editing can also make it look a certain way. CMT likely left a lot of other mentoring footage of other girls out. I know they like to focus on certain girls every year. I would rather see Melissa as a mentor any day than someone like Cassie coming back on there. Melissa is at least likeable and personable. 

I was bothered by the Melissa stuff too.  Imagine you were Chandler or one of the other girls who were cut and you keep seeing Melissa pull Caila and Breelan out of the room to offer them tips.  It is, after all, a competition -- everyone should have the same opportunities.  It also bothered me how she'd pull girls out of the room when stuff was going on that those girls probably needed to be there for!  For example, after they learned the first dance, the rookies were practicing it during the day with Jennifer.  While they're doing it, she pulls Ashley and Breelan out to talk to them.  I'm pretty sure their time would have been better spent working on the dance with the other rookies.  If I were Ashley or Breelan, I'd have been pissed.

I didn't mind Melissa.  I think the idea of what they wanted to do was OK and Melissa is very personable.  But it ended up feeling like favoritism and a bunch of really fake scenes. "LIke, omg, are you guys feeling nervous about final cuts?!"  what are they going to say, "nah, I'm good."  I've always hated those forced convos between just the girls but adding more with Melissa was overkill to me.

 

I think if people have been very faithful viewers of the show and remember Melissa from Season 1 and 2 (she was featured a decent amount...not a ton but enough to be likeable) they are more likely to see the point of having her there.  But I just think I'd like it better if they had someone more recognizable to the brand. 

 

For people who complained about her being messy last year though she looks a lot more put together from pictures I've seen LOL

Melissa was messy last year because she had JUST had a baby in April..a month before filming. 

 

As far as the fake scenes and forced convo, I agree..it's so corny and forced. 

 

And yes, Melissa wasn't memorable at ALL during Seasons 1 and 2..other than the fact that she was kind of nervous/surprised to make it back her 2nd season, her segment with Kitty, and being called into the office. To me, they only brought her back because of her name..not b/c of her talent as a DCC. They should have had Ally, Nicole H, Justine..someone like them to come back and mentor the girls.

I LOVE Justine!! She would be a great choice!  Nicole went on to be a showgirl, right? She is one of my all time favorites and seriously one of the best performers they've ever had, but do they frown on that kind of career? Man, she'd be amazing though.  Sarah Gourley also (I know she has a different last name now). Or Brittany Evans!!

I think something in Breelan reminded Melissa of herself as a TCC and that is why she gravitated to her. As for not working with Chandler, Chandler wasn't on the radar of problems until Kelly's friend Tina made a comment and then the field practice. Melissa was there more as a big sister mentor, not someone to help the girls with their dancing, IMHO. She wasn't there enough to affect any real changes beyond boosting their confidence so working with Breelin in her "oops" expressions, Chandker on a frozen face, Ashley Pro on her overwhelming anxiety and Caila on her confidence was about all she could do. She was not is a position to help, say Alexandra on her dance skills.

I have wondered if she could have helped Ashley Paige if she were a TCC last season. She may have been able to coach her through the stiffness and the tough facade that Ashley showed.

Sarah still works with the TCCs and Brittney Evans is pregnant with her 2nd child.

I don't dislike Melissa. I think she was an average DCC and others would be better suited for this job. I just don't like how much time is spent on one or two girls (who I happen to not be interested in) when that same time could be spent getting to know other girls- the girls who leave after two or three years and we know nothing about them. That's why I liked season 7, a lot of different girls were shown so I felt like I "knew" that class even though it was a large one.

For example, I'd love to have seen more of Lacey and Erica and Mary. Even though they weren't "bubble girls" they were still TCCs (excellent ones) so why not introduce us to them (and to some fantastic dancing at the same time?)

I agree 100%.  I want to see more about the veterans, and I also want to meet the other girls at training camp and not just right before they are cut.  I didn't even know who Chandler was until the episode before she was cut.  I never thought Morgan or Breelan were that interested, but that's all they talked about on their seasons!

 

P.S.  Why is it, when I try to respond with a quote now, the post shows up blank?

Not sure about Whitney ? but I agree I'd love to see more about the veterans (hello, Holly Arielle! She probably will retire in a year or so and we know next to nothing of her) and the GOOD dancers who aren't on the chopping block.
