But now it's looking more and more like she's hanging onto her television 'career' as it were, hopping from CMT show to CMT show. She's an intelligent, articulate woman who obviously works the angles to get work, but I have to wonder if she wouldn't be better suited to move on to a REAL career at this point. Unless they are paying her an astronomical salary for this so-called mentoring, is the fluff work she's doing really worth being away from her home and family? I think it was Jay who said one year about a candidate.. "She's past it" Exactly!!! That's why it's so hard for me to respect her and watch Kelli and Judy present her to the girls as THE Ultimate DCC to learn from and aspire to be. To me, her career (other than DWTS) is cringe-worthy. Bow out gracefully girl, go out on top. Don't sell yourself to every continually demeaning "role" in reality TV. It makes her seem like a shallow fame-seeker, not an esteemed former DCC who overcame her own battles with DCC style to make the team.

I do believe Kyndall earned a spot, yes. she was given strong praise all of camp and was called into the office just to be given praise and encouragement. I do now think Judy having CMT tell them that it will help Kyndall make the team points toward the assumption that they wanted Kyndall on the team over Kelsey. I have to completely agree with you on Kelsey not knowing the choreo for Thunder. That routine should be THE one to nail down and make perfect right from the beginning of training camp. Her kicks are not strong either. In Kyndall's scenario, sorry to poke the bear but the girl has a very spastic style. She definitely has more power than Kelsey , I'll give her that, but she hits things way too hard, giving it that spazzy affect and making her stand out in a bad way. If Kyndall had made the team, they would've had to work with her on toning down and finding the flow of the music rather than dancing at an extreme level throughout each routine. Kelsey needs to step it up and put her game face on...literally. Making mistakes in Thunderstruck, AFTER you make the team, is no excuse. Whether it's memory mistakes or arm and foot placement...that routine should be game ready by now. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39315-2016-tryouts-and-training-camp-spoilers-and-spoiled-speculations/page/170/#findComment-2473508

English Teacher August 10, 2016 Share August 10, 2016 (edited) I think for some girls the only thing Melissa has offered them is a way to avoid a cut for a night or two more. I think Caila would have been cut that night when Melissa saw her "in [her] office in the hallway" if Melissa didn't single her out for that God-awful intervention. It bought her time and a chance to do a little better. Although cutting her and keeping Breelan would have made no sense in my opinion. Still can't see how Breelan made the team. Aside from some obvious mistakes, I never saw the glaring errors that Ashley Pro was making according to Judy. Her performance quality was better and I was glad she made it -- but at finals it was clear she hadn't improved. I wish MTT would show the vets learning the routine. There was one bonus feature (maybe season 7 or 8) where there was a tornado that night and the girls were literally hiding in their lockers until it passed. But at least there was a snippet of it. As I only just saw S1 and S2, I didn't realize that the vets interviewed separately from the RCs. They show the new girls peeking into the vets' rehearsal. Does anyone know how or why that changed? Also, in the early years, the vets went to Kitty also -- has that stopped altogether? I remember a bonus clip of S7 where Mackenzie went to Kitty -- but that was the only vet I have seen with her since maybe season 3 or 4? Does anyone have info on this?

CMT definitely influences decisions. It's all a business above anything else. I think CMT influences them more than we'd like to believe. It used to be that they'd take their squad from auditions, plus one or two and cut only a few during training camp. Now, since the show, they're up to 10 or more. They used to have everyone wear the same thing to practice; now they're separated by pink and blue. Look at all of the "special guest appearances" and "mentors" that they have now and in the past - Melissa, Kellie Pickler, and Kacey Musgraves. Musgraves baffles me a little because no way were Kelli and Judy okay with that pot-smoking country singer critiquing their team. Every year it seems like they have a new "fitness or health guru" that is sponsoring the team or has paid for product placement. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39315-2016-tryouts-and-training-camp-spoilers-and-spoiled-speculations/page/170/#findComment-2474742

kalibean August 10, 2016 Share August 10, 2016 Even if CMT is indeed a big influencer, it's still an awesome dance job for the summer if they don't make the squad. I would rather be one of ten extra taken to training camp so I have a chance to improve and learn the DCC style straight from the horses mouth, than have the whole squad plus a couple extras picked at the final audition. And they get a paycheck and some swag instead of paying for those classes on their own. Maybe I just have way too positive of an attitude. Was it Ashley Kelly who made the camp twice but never made the squad? She had only been dancing for a year and seemed to make the most of her time there. I'm sure she was disappointed that she never made the final team, but seemed to enjoy the experience anyway. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39315-2016-tryouts-and-training-camp-spoilers-and-spoiled-speculations/page/170/#findComment-2474795

In my own personal opinion she isn't ready. The power and style aren't there. The night the team was announced she was getting called out for her kicks not improving and still being bent, low, and tight. She hasn't made I through an entire run of Thunderstruck without mistakes. She needs a solid year of DCC training not Ice Angels or any other semi pro team. In my honest opinion she made the team thanks to CMT. Every other girl that attended Melissa's class was cut besides Kelsey. CMT couldn't have Melissa's segment looking as pointless and ratings thirsty as it is. So for that they searched for flaws in Kyndall, Heather O., Auto Amy, Milan, and Jessika. Do I think if Kyndall had attended the workshop she would have made the team over Kelsey? definitely. Though I think I any girl would rather make the team off skill not being "Melissa's Girl". Especially since that has seemed to be the kiss of death since Melissa joined the show along with fan vote. I am not shocked Kelsey was taken out of Thunder, I hope for her own personal embarrassment she can get it together and be put back in. Though at the expense of the team if shes not ready I wouldn't want to see her on the field. I don't see the fans caring that much considering they haven't seen her dance and she to me is more pretty face than talent. Just my opinion though.

I guess her kicks have been concerning and she's still making some memory mistakes. And see, this is what annoys me to no end - so much anymore is all for the drama, drama, drama. I mean, no secret here that I love Kelsey. #teamkelsey4ever She and Maddie were hands down my favorites this year; Kelsey is an incredibly sweet person and a very hard worker. She herself though has said she has not had any real technical dance experience - that she's mostly self taught and only dancing the last few years (i'm not counting cheer experience). As THRILLED as I truly am that she made the team (and I personally think she can do this), if she is so shaky that they are taking her out of the pregame, then they should have just told her to get a bunch of technical training this year and come back next year and she probably would have had zero issues. SO what, they are going to embarrass her now by being like haha JK, sit this one out or cut her after the fact? I will be BEYOND pissed if that happens. My hope is that they do truly like Kelsey (from my understanding she was a favorite of at least Kelli this year and of the judges at finals - and heck, they put her in the squad photo) and want her on the team so they brought her on under the hope that she will grow and mature as a dancer and be fine through the season. And agree that I kind of think it's dumb to not have her do the preseason - that's like the 'practice' show. If she doesn't do as well as they'd like there, then don't have her do the home opener or whatever. But I admit I don't really get how all of that works and what is deemed most important. And with all that said, just how bad were Kyndall and Amy that they cut them last minute?? both of those girls are beautiful too. I bet Kyndall could not be more upset with herself for not agreeing to be a Melissa Project. As for Yuko, I feel like I know next to nothing of the details of her situation so I am going to continue to reserve judgment till the shows airs. Like with Amy though, 99% of what I've heard about her is glowing and positive so it doesn't surprise me that she made it. At the end of the day, rules be damned. Kelli makes the rules and if she wants to change things up to fit her vision for that year, I say go Kelli! All's fair in cheer and DCC land. LOL (<--and I realize that then has to hold true with decisions to keep girls out of the first game, etc...) What about Erica? I have always loved watching her perform (esp over Amy T)- was she not as solid as the ones you mentioned? I am still afraid something is up with her if they threw her in behind the point girl :-P Nooo, I love Erica!! As much as I love DCC MTT, it really burns me up to see how they make exception for some but not the others! This is exactly what I was referring to in one of my earlier comments....that being pretty gets you far in DCC world. I never ever thought that Kelsey's dancing is better than Amy's because it's not.

Honestly I think the importance of TCC's dancing is played up for the show because it's an easy thing to quantify and show as a character arc. They mention weight for some, but they always talk about very carefully. But really, looking hot and selling bikini calendars is priority #1 and if you don't have that there's no point in even trying. Look at successful college dance teams. A lot of them could probably dance circles around most of the DCC but they'd just be fodder for the "lol" audition footage.

At some point, it's enough girl. It's getting a bit desperate, demeaning & downright embarrasing. 16 hours ago, GingerJ said: Exactly!!! That's why it's so hard for me to respect her and watch Kelli and Judy present her to the girls as THE Ultimate DCC to learn from and aspire to be. To me, her career (other than DWTS) is cringe-worthy. Bow out gracefully girl, go out on top. Don't sell yourself to every continually demeaning "role" in reality TV. It makes her seem like a shallow fame-seeker, not an esteemed former DCC who overcame her own battles with DCC style to make the team. 17 hours ago, Java said: I used to be a fan of Melissa's when she was a DCC, I was pissed off for her on the Bachelor, and loved her on DWTS. But now it's looking more and more like she's hanging onto her television 'career' as it were, hopping from CMT show to CMT show. She's an intelligent, articulate woman who obviously works the angles to get work, but I have to wonder if she wouldn't be better suited to move on to a REAL career at this point. Unless they are paying her an astronomical salary for this so-called mentoring, is the fluff work she's doing really worth being away from her home and family? I think it was Jay who said one year about a candidate.. "She's past it" What else could Melissa do for a career besides reality TV? Doesn't seem like she has much experience at anything else other than dance and reality TV. I totally get why she's milking it for all it's worth - she likely can't get any real jobs that pay better, have fewer working hours, or have more flexibility than reality TV. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39315-2016-tryouts-and-training-camp-spoilers-and-spoiled-speculations/page/170/#findComment-2474931

I totally get why too ... if I had my 15min, I'd be busting myself trying to keep it! Although truth be told, she's still very young .. she's got a lot of years to fill if she's just trying to milk this 15min 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39315-2016-tryouts-and-training-camp-spoilers-and-spoiled-speculations/page/170/#findComment-2474951

She had only been dancing for a year and seemed to make the most of her time there. I'm sure she was disappointed that she never made the final team, but seemed to enjoy the experience anyway. Ashley only made it to TC one time in season 4 (2009) that I know of. She did audition the season before and after that. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39315-2016-tryouts-and-training-camp-spoilers-and-spoiled-speculations/page/170/#findComment-2475016

That's right. I think she had been featured quite a bit one year she auditioned so I just turned it into training camp in my mind. It's like when Kelli and Judy were shocked Kali hadn't been there before the first time they had called her into the office ??

I counted a couple different places and all seventeen girls are there, so she's not benched for weight on this one. The long straight hair is what's telling me it's her. It looks to me like Lacey is to Holly's left (our right).
