Guest May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 I heard no fan vote this year either. It's a fun way to get to see the girls but probably not a great way to judge them when they're wiped out from back to back 12 hour days. As someone else said, it's not a true reflection of who fans want in TC, it's a social media contest. 20 minutes ago, Kitkatkitty said: Chenise Johnson!

M1977G May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 The fan vote may not have been a true reflection of fan choice and more about social media popularity/savvy, but I'm with those who liked the advanced glimpse of the rookie candidates. It's what first put DCCs like Mary, Heather H, and Heather O on my radar. I also liked actually getting to see some of the girls dance who didn't end up being shown dancing on the show. Plus, it did kind of reveal which returning candidates had or had not improved significantly in their choreo retention or "performance power and projection."

She just looks like she's having fun in a totally UN-self-conscious way, like she'd be having that much fun whether you were watching her or not. It's a big contrast to some of the other videos that seem like "Look how cute I am, do you see this? Do you see how cute I'm being right now? Look at this sexy move I'm about to do right here.
