Speaker 1: day before we got rained out. But we are back

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,439

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: so I've had one shoot day so far. And then,

13
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: as Courtney was saying, yesterday we had our day off

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: so it was so fun. We got to hang out

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: with all the cheerleaders. So we were going to go

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: on excursion, but I got canceled. But it was awesome

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: because all the cheerleaders got to go to the beach together.

18
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: So actually we had our own little dcc any incursion. Yeah,

19
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: so we all went to the beach and you're with us.

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: It's twenty two of us, so it was really fun.

21
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: We all just got to hang out and just relax

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: for the day and miss Miranda, this is your first

23
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: time ever to a beach, which was just mind boggling.

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: So how how's this lived up to the hyper expectations?

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: It was awesome yesterday, Like Amy said, we went to

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: the beach and I've done to my whole body in

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: the beach for the first time ever. It was amazing.

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: And then I was like stayed in there by myself

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: because I loved it so much while everybody else was

30
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: laying out, And then I had a couple of friends

31
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: to join me and it was it was a lot

32
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: of fun. And as well, I've had one shoot day

33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: so far, my first shoot day ever, you know, posing

34
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: in a bikini. I mean I've just never done that before.

35
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: And they make you feel like supermodels. It was such

36
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: a great day. And we also had one day of

37
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: appearance of an appearance, and so that was a lot

38
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: of the show. Since the appearance, how was that? What

39
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: did you guys do for that appearance? While we were

40
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 1: downstairs in the hotel lobby and they had some VIP

41
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: guests from and they could get autographs from us or

42
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: take pictures with us, and then they opened it up

43
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: to the public and other hotel guests to trme and join.

44
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Which was really cool about that appearance was there were

45
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of cowboys fans there, so many, and all

46
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: of them had cowboys attire, which I loved up. So

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: I was like, bringing your cowboys merch all the way

48
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: to Bittmany. We talked about the little girl. Yes, really

49
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: cute girl there, little nugget. I would say, she's probably

50
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: two and a half, maybe three, and she was in

51
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: a little DCC outfit. She was so cute, it was

52
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: the most precious thing. She was the first thing I spotted.

53
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I was like, number twenty two was here. I actually

54
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: saw Maddie give her a squad photo and she was

55
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: this little girl was so cute, but she was so nervous.

56
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: It's like seeing U a mascot or Disney character sometimes

57
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: when kids like freak out and like start to cry.

58
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: But Maddie gave her a squad photo and she was

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: holding it and she was just like, oh oh. She

60
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: had to get warmed up a little bit. Her parents

61
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: were trying so hard to get a picture of her,

62
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: having a bribe her of a chocolate like little pieces

63
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: as they walked up to us. But she warmed up

64
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: and then was so excited. Is that the good stuff?

65
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Is that? What makes you love this job? Is that?

66
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the fact that we get to be role

67
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: models for everyone, even all the way in Bittminy, that

68
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: there's still a little girl who looks up to us.

69
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: I think it's like the special, little special part about

70
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: this job. And you get probably get that all the

71
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: time with their little kiddos don't here. Yeah, and it's

72
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: really cool when my students get to come to DCC

73
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: events like meet the team, because then like both my

74
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: worlds combined, so it's not I'm just miss Amy, but

75
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: I get to be DCC miss Amy too, So it's

76
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: pretty cool when both of them get to come together.

77
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: That's so fun. Okay, let's rewind a little bit. Tell

78
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: us who did which photographers have you guys shot with?

79
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: And what were your days? Kind of alive? Where where

80
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: do they have you? What were you doing? How was

81
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: the weather because the weather has been a little tricky,

82
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: not the best, but we're making it work. Yeah. So

83
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: I was with Michael Vorkies and we went to Big

84
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: Game and it's kind of like another like a little

85
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: mini resort, but it's more of it's more biminiesque, I

86
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: could say. And it's so beautiful. It's so fun because

87
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: there's so many good places to shoot there and it's

88
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: so many bright colors, so all the walls are like

89
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: bright yellow or bright blue, and then it's all the rooms,

90
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: and then there's a pool, and then there's like a

91
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: little gaming area, and then on the other her side

92
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: there's the beautiful ocean with a dog. So there's limited

93
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: or unlimited, limitless amounts of places to take pictures. So

94
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: it was so fun, and we actually had the best weather.

95
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: We were so lucky. I was praying we were gonna

96
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: have some sunshine. And that's day one or day two.

97
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: It was day two, Yeah, so we were super blessed.

98
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: M and it was me Christina and why can't I remember, Oh, Kelly,

99
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Me Christina and Kelly. And it was cool. And I

100
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: love the shoot days also because you get just to

101
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: hang out with your teammates and maybe something that you

102
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: haven't even gotten to spend a lot of time with

103
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: and you have the whole day with them, so it's

104
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: really special that you just kind of get to help

105
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: them get through their shoot and just hang out all day.

106
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: But it went really well, how did Amy or not Amy?

107
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: You're Amy? Kelly and Christina do They did awesome? Oh

108
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: my gosh. I was so impressed. And it's funny because

109
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: Christina and I we have like the same hairs. We

110
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: were like blonde bobs getting ready to shoot, and yes,

111
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: the blobs, but she is just oh, she did so good.

112
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: She was a little firecracker. I got at your photos.

113
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Oh thanks friend. Yeah, I was like, I'm the bubbly

114
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: version of her, so I'm like the bubbly happy picks

115
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: and she has like the sexy picks. But yeah, it

116
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: was awesome. They did so good. And then Kelly has

117
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: the most amazing body in the world, and so you

118
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: just look at you look at her picks and she

119
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: looks like she literally looks like a Barbie out there

120
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: with her perfect like blonde hair and her tan body

121
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: and you're just like and her abs as their picks

122
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: were unreal. We were. It was such a good day,

123
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: and like the crew had a blast because we had

124
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: a full, full, full day with no rain until the

125
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: very end. So hey, I mean everyone was just really

126
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: hyped up. Yeah it was awesome. And what about you,

127
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: who'd you shoot with? Shot on the same day as Amy,

128
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: but I shot with Jeremy and I was with Jessica

129
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: and Maddie and Jessica's my roommate, So that was really

130
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: special because I've been able to get closer with her

131
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: and then we were able to get ready together and

132
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: she kind of watched me through like what she was

133
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: packing and what I should pack and just you know,

134
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: throughout the day. And so that was nice for my

135
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: roommate to be there with me on my first shoot,

136
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: and then it was also awesome to spend the time

137
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: with Maddie. Jeremy and his screw were so amazing. I

138
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: mean I was like, how am I even supposed to start?

139
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: Like where how do I stay? And how do I sit?

140
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: And Jeremy was really good about always showing me a

141
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: photo that he wanted me to start kind of in

142
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: that pose and then helped me move from there, and

143
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: so it was really helpful and helped with my face,

144
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: and his crew did amazing with hair and makeup. You know,

145
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: it's just so good all around. And like Amy said,

146
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: we had great weather that day. We missed the sunrise

147
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: and the sunset, but I would take that trade off,

148
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: and you know, to have the whole day because rather

149
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: than rain, Yeah it's worth it. Yeah, no rain the

150
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: whole day. The sun actually came out. I think that's

151
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: the only day so far of the sun. He was

152
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: actually like really hot outside. I was swearing, Yeah, a

153
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: little sun from the angle. Just where do they have

154
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: you guys all set up for your shoes. So we

155
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: were down on the south side, which is where all

156
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: the little sand fleas are, and so we all kind

157
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: of not eating alive. I mean I was spraying budge spray,

158
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, every hour hour and they even care about

159
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: the buck spray the sand fleas like affect them. No,

160
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it does well. And also of course

161
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: I have this like organ at about sprayings. Probably doesn't

162
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: Probably doesn't work. It's like the parent trap word. Is

163
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: it like sugar and water? Yea spraying it and attract

164
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: some Yeah. No, it's glamorous over here for DCC calendar shoot,

165
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: but it's not that glamorous. There's a lot of bug

166
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: bites going on my legs. But we're trying our past

167
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: trip in the middle of the night and was scratching

168
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: for like an hour before I went back to bed. Yeah,

169
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Laura and I are roommates. And I was telling her.

170
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't stop it. Changing. She was like,

171
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: don't hitch, don't itch. I was like, I can't help.

172
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: But it's worth it because at least it means you

173
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,559
Speaker 1: got a bug bite in the sand at the beach

174
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: exactly in Bimony. So it beats getting a bug bite

175
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: in Dallas, that's for sure. For sure, Mosquito bites grow

176
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: these ones at least, like even if you keep scratching them,

177
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: they kind of stay the same size. Mistito bites larger

178
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: the more you scratch them. So I'd rather have a

179
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: saying flavoring misquito. Here we are, Here we are. So

180
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: when are your guys next shoe days? I have one

181
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: today and it's just a really fun one with Jeremiah,

182
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: who takes pictures for the Cowboys, so we're really excited

183
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: about that. And then I also have a sheet would

184
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: share me and that is on Wednesday. Wednesday? And which

185
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: about you same? We have like the same schedule but

186
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: with the opposite I know we do. And so I'm

187
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: also with Amy with Jeremiah today and then I'll be

188
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: with Michael on Wednesday. So do they keep you in

189
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: your same groups? Will you be with Jessica and Maddie

190
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: Agan or do you have new you see with groups

191
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm with? I should know this Heather and Molly. So

192
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: I love that we get to switch out. I think

193
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: if we had the same groups all trip, it would

194
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: not get boring. But you kind of be like, oh,

195
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: I want to hang out with you know other different

196
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: sisters make memories with other people. Yeah, so it's cool

197
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: that they switch it up. I think everyone pretty much

198
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: switches throughout the whole week. Yeah, and I'll be with

199
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: Leci and Cash And I was like, that is a

200
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: great combo. Was Cash will bring the entertainment and Lecaci

201
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: will remember to take photos because I am horrible about

202
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: remembering memories through photos and just taking your own personal pictures. Yes,

203
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, having them as memories such a photography, love

204
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: taking pictures. And I was like, oh good. Yes, some

205
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: manys either I'm really on or I'm really off. I

206
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: have like a zillion or nun or none. Yeah. Yeah,

207
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: the weather has thrown me off my game. I'm not

208
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna lie. I know, I know, We're just everybody at

209
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: home sends some extra good vibes for the Sun today. Sun.

210
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: So the first time catching up with you guys sends auditions.

211
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: How did that go for both of you? It was good.

212
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean going into year four, it's crazy. You never

213
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: know what to expect every year, but I mean, you

214
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: hope it gets easier. And I gotta say it's so

215
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: hard every time. It's so tricky, but I mean, it's

216
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: so much work but into the audition. But I will

217
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: say I do like that the calendar trip is after

218
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: auditions because now we kind of all just get to

219
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: celebrate and be happy and relax and we're you know,

220
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: getting ready for training camp. And I think it's it's

221
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: a lot easier rather than being kind of on pins

222
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: and needles during calendar worrying about your solo when it's

223
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: going to be to turn to choreograph it in Bimini.

224
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: So I liked it this year. But auditions were good. Yeah,

225
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean they're stressful as always, but I think they

226
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: were good and we have such good girls coming into

227
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: training camp whole. Yes, the solos were unreal. I literally

228
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: was sitting there and I was like, oh my gosh,

229
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: everyone was nailing competition. Yes, I was like, everyone has

230
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: legs up to their face, like everyone was doing turns.

231
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: In second everyone was doing amazing leaps like everyone every

232
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: second whatever that means, Yeah, you want to do him, Courtney, Yeah,

233
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: it was awesome. I'm really excited to see and get

234
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: to know all the new girls coming in training camp

235
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: because they are dolls like they're awesome, and it's it's

236
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a good training camp. It's gonna be a

237
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: tough training camp, but it's gonna be good. Did you

238
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: ever think you'd be back for year four when you

239
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: started this journey? No, you know what, I had no clue,

240
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: but I was getting myself into and I have cherished

241
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: every moment. I absolutely love this team and love dancing

242
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: every day, and I think it's such an amazing job.

243
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: And I actually love rehearsal. I know a lot of

244
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: people don't like like the rehearsal part. They just like

245
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: the show part. But I love rehearsals. I loving with

246
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: my teammates every night, and so I've just enjoyed it

247
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: so much. I'm like, I cannot give it up yet.

248
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: Year eight, Amy's gonna still give me here and I'm

249
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: skidding that wash up over there and coming back? And

250
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: what about you? How to go round two? Well technically

251
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: not round two, right? Round three? Right, well, round three

252
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: because my first year I didn't make the team, but

253
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: round two coming back to actually hopefully be on the

254
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: team after training camps over, and you know, everybody's like, oh,

255
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: you must be so much more relaxed this year. You know,

256
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: you've already been on the team for a year, but

257
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: you're not, you know, because they want to see every

258
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: year that you come back better than the year before.

259
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, more confident. You know, you've learned how to

260
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: do your hair and makeup, you know, all those things

261
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: because they don't want to have to do another rookie

262
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: makeover on a veteran. Yeah, you know, and so all

263
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: those things, you know, and you just have to come

264
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: back showing them that you're confident. And I made the

265
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: mistake in my interview to tell them that I did

266
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: feel more confident. They ask you, well, no, I mean

267
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: they just asked me how I changed them the year before,

268
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, I do feel like I have

269
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: more confident now this year as opposed to last year.

270
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: And so then I was like, wow, okay, I really

271
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: have to bring the confidence now when I dance because

272
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: I already tell them that I feel more confident, but

273
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: you're dancing for that person in the four hundred section

274
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: exactly all the way up you know, you could be

275
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: a judge. You got to show that confidence all the

276
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: way up there, exactly, And so it was a lot

277
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: of fun. I also, I did feel more comfortable in

278
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: my interview. I'll say that just because you know, we've

279
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: had the chance to be around a lot of those

280
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: judges now that are in the panel, and and so

281
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: it's like more like you're having a conversation with a

282
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: colleague or something like that, as opposed to being grilled

283
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: with inter reed questions. Did you get a tough one?

284
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: I actually didn't. They just asked me personal questions. They

285
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: asked me about my first year, asking how I change.

286
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: Oh funny story, so and they asked me how I've

287
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: changed from last year to this year. First I started

288
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: off with being more confident, and then I was like, well,

289
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: you know, last year I felt like I was, you know,

290
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more reserved and shy, and I feel

291
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: like my personality came out through the year. And Kellie

292
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: Drows whoever told you you were shy? And I was like, um, okay,

293
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: well maybe not shy, but you know, I just felt

294
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: like I was like I get nerves and yes I live.

295
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: Judy talked in my panel interview was when she drows

296
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: no you're you're not shym right, No, no, she was.

297
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: I completely shot me down. And then I was like, okay,

298
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: well maybe i'd like hid my quirkiness just a little bit.

299
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: And I was looking at Judy at this time, and

300
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: she just shut her head like no, you never did,

301
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: we know the really it was all out there for

302
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: everyone to see, for everybody to see. I was like, okay,

303
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: but it brought laughter to the to the panel interview,

304
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: and then they got serious after that, So I'm glad

305
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: I dodged the seriousness. Well that's good. Yes, yeah, did

306
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: you get any hard hitters? No, it's funny. We caught

307
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: ourselves the crying group because we made the whole panel cry,

308
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: and we were all, I know, isn't this crazy. I

309
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: was like, this has never happened before. So we were

310
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: in there and they were asking just personal questions and

311
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: there was a few like political questions like thrown in there,

312
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: and everyone was doing awesome. I had a really strong

313
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: group in my whole group actually since training camp. Yeah,

314
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: so that was pretty cool. Yeah, So we were everyone

315
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: was doing great and then they had already had a

316
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: knock on the door, so like to the time was

317
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: up and I still hadn't answered anything. And because sometimes

318
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: when you're going into year four, I'm like, I think

319
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: they pretty much know everything about me. But so they

320
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: come back around and Kelly asked me about them, my boots,

321
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: my cause, and so oh I started talking about mine

322
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: and mine was lupus for my mom, and so everyone

323
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: was crying. And then a girl to a went away

324
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: from me. She had a really emotional story too, and

325
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: so did the girl next to her, and so literally

326
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: the whole panel was crying, and Charlotte at the end

327
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: of it, she was like, Okay, you'll need to be done.

328
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: We're crying too much. Were we are maxed out on

329
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: and Neil I was like, Neil, you need to tell

330
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: a joke and he was like, I need some tissues.

331
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: I was like yeah, So our whole group was crying

332
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: and we were all crying. I was like, man, that

333
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: was like therapy session, but it was good. Like Miranda

334
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: was saying, it gets easier now that you know all

335
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: the judges, and I've had experiences with all of them

336
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: and going in as a veteran because she like an

337
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: upper vet. It's kind of I feel like it's my

338
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: job to be like mama bear and kind of helped

339
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: them out if they're struggling. Everyone. Yeah, and so you

340
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: feel kind of like a sense of calmness being knowing that,

341
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: like you're the one that's supposed to be in charge

342
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: of everyone. So I think that helps too, making it

343
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: not so scary. Yeah. Even I felt that, you know,

344
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: like with the other girls. So they were all so nervous.

345
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: I was with three new girls and they were so nervous,

346
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: and they were like, you're so caroming and I'm never

347
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: like the tram one, you know. But I felt like

348
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I was just trying to be that way for them.

349
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: Someone's got to be it. Yeah, they can't do it themselves.

350
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: I told them. I was like, if y'all don't know something,

351
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: look my way and I'll try and answer it. And

352
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: they were like, okay, okay. And I did that last

353
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: year my whole group. They add the very first question,

354
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: everyone looked my way and I was like, what was it?

355
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: Do you remember I'm trying to member with some political question.

356
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the exact one, but I was like,

357
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: I got this. I studied a ton. So that's where

358
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: I would fumble. Yeah, politics, it's so much studying because

359
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: you just never know. But I mean most of us

360
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: feel that way. But we you know, we study and

361
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: we watched the news leading up to it, and you
