Season 13: 2

* [Hall of Fame Game] It’s really a chance for our veteran squad to come together and make the Jones family proud.

### **Season 13**

**(13.7)**

* This is my third-year auditioning for show group. It would absolutely be the icing on the cake for this year. It would, I think, be a very exciting new foot forward.
* [Makes show group] When Judy finally said my name, it was just the best feeling. I had a lot of teammates around me, and they just immediately hugged me, and I could feel other people were happy for me, too. It was just a great night for me.

### **Season 14**

* “Follow the Leader” is probably one of my favorite things to do on the sidelines. I think it’s kind of a challenge. Sometimes when you’re out there, they can play a song that you are not expecting. Or maybe they had picked a new song that we’ve never heard before and you have to just go with it and just be in that game day mode.

**(14.13)**

* I’m having a blast. It’s just been an amazing experience, especially as a group leader. I don’t know if I could retire after four seasons. I might just have to do another season.

### **Season 11**

**(11.4)**

* [After makeover with curly hair] K loves her natural hair, someone says isn’t it adorable? K can’t get over her big curls. Shocked to see how much curl she has – they were like multiplying. Amazing and crazy she would mask that. It’s more unique. Marshall loves it.

* Makeover glamour shot [hair shortened and goes from straight to very curly – *interestingly, the before shot isn’t her posing, but just her sitting at the salon chair, so it seems they didn’t anticipate using her until after the fact… also the curls mostly disappear forever by the end of the episode*]
