My company hires everyone on a 90-day probationary period. I'm not investing in you after one or two meetings, where I know you were on your best behavior. I built my company through years of sacrifice and hard work, and in your probation period, your job is to prove you want and deserve a place on my team! You'd be shocked how many people seem to take for granted they've actually got the job. I have, in fact, let three people go during that probation period over the years. They "failed their auditions," so to speak. They had a shot at making the team but failed to prove themselves capable of the commitment and responsibility. The stakes aren't as high in my example, in the sense I can bring back another candidate and give them an opportunity. But I think if you look at it that way, these girls are actually really lucky and blessed to be constantly aware that they are still a candidate, that they are still auditioning. It definitely keeps them focused on the goal and, I would guess, makes them more grateful for the "job" once it's their's, and helps them take more ownership of it because they know how hard they evoked for it. Gosh writing all that out makes me think we should make our company probation period more high-stress and uncertain!!! Haha! Although I'd probably get sued if I showed up every few days and watched someone like a hawk barking out criticism and corrections. Haha!!! But I love the idea! Hmmmmm.... Just kidding!

tobeyoungagain July 12, 2016 Share July 12, 2016 Sheesh I wish they would speed up the cuts! Dragging it out is driving me batty! Still think they should cut a vet or two but I think they won't for the simple fact that it's going to be such a young team already. Wonder if they will seriously keep Emily ... sorry but that girl is not DCC material. I don't think she's vapid or spacey ... I just find her expressions frightening and her dance style boring. 1 Link to comment

The stakes aren't as high in my example, in the sense I can bring back another candidate and give them an opportunity. Here in Germany pretty much everyone (except small jobs that aren't full time) gets hired with a six month probation period. And most employers also only give you a contract for a year at first and if you prove yourself afterwards you get your unlimited contract. Max company hires everyone for two years including six months probation before giving you an unlimited contract. So you spend a long time not knowing whether your job is safe. But I still feel like it's less stressful than training camp. In TC they hire more people than they need, so you know not everyone is gonna get a job, in 'work world' you have an opening, you hire one person for it and if they do well enough you keep them. I'd feel much more relaxed doing six months 'training camp' at my work place than six weeks with Kelli and Judy I guess. 3 Link to comment

I like to watch girls get cut. Makes for a good show and it's what people want to see. Of course it's not in the best interest of the girls but CMT is paying big bucks to DCC and you have to bet they take in more girls to make the show interesting. A long time ago, someone mentioned that before the show started, they would take around 38 candidates into training camp. They knew who they wanted at the auditions and might make a few cuts if someone wasn't living up to what they needed. Edited July 12, 2016 by McGee43 Link to comment

TXStar35 July 12, 2016 Share July 12, 2016 I saw many comments about cuts and how it seems unlikely they will cut so many in a short amount of time and it's happened in the past. As recently as of last year it happened. They cut Shelbi and Karen Thursday, they didn't have practice that Friday, then cut Taylor on Monday at the stadium, and then Courtney, Kyndall, Selina, and Kaleigh Tuesday. So it's possible for more to be cut very quickly. I personally have my 36 picked for final squad, it will just come down to who's having a good night and who isn't. CMT is gone till next Monday, so another quiet week y'all. 3 Link to comment

EricaShadows July 13, 2016 Share July 13, 2016 We're, what, three weeks before the first preseason game? If I remember correctly, they usually try to announce the team around that time.

Pinknblue July 13, 2016 Share July 13, 2016 (edited) If I recall correctly, in several previous seasons Kelli & Judy have referred to the first preseason game as "next week" when teaching across-the-field and making final cuts. DK how closely this aligns with reality however ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm surprised some of the girls on the bubble haven't just keeled over with nerves over making the team. Next week will be the bloodbath of all bloodbaths - great for TV but it feels very cruel that these are real people with a whole summer invested in this. I can't even imagine how humiliating it would be to get cut now, feel strung along, and for it to be public viewing ? Edited July 13, 2016 by Pinknblue 3 Link to comment

That timing seems really strange, unless it already has been decided that she's likely to make the team.

I really don't get it either. I think it's great that the're giving her a chance but it looks like she pretty much has a pass from the "Bloodbath" that will most likely happen come Monday evening. K + J must really like Yuko if they are allowing her to skip out on a few days of training camp which, at this point, is crucial! Side note - she attempted to go home over the holiday/rookie week but, for some reason, it ended up not working out. 1 Link to comment
