Jordyn Ketchum

Season 3: 16 (T2nd most)

* [About body fat percentage] I’m gonna have to now cut out my favorite snack, which is peanut butter and jellies, PB&J's. They are my favorite. They’re my weakness.
* When Kelli called girls in tonight, it kind of put it in perspective that they’re gonna start cutting girls.
* [Before office] When Kelli mentioned she was gonna call girls into tonight, it was kind of the first time that it hit me that girls are gonna go home.

* Kitty always says if you don’t want to hear it, don’t ask.
* [About push-ups] It was very, very difficult. I pushed out a few, and the I started feeling it in my shoulders and my upper arms, and it was killer. It was killer.

**(3.5)**

* [Makeovers] No one’s gonna recognize me when I got back home.
* [Makeovers] I feel like a movie star right now. I feel more like a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. I really do. And I can go in there with a fresh start and just really pump it up.
* I’m definitely scared of heights, and I’m definitely scared of jumping off something that’s 25 feet in the air. Only thing I have on me is a harness, you know? And there’s no net, and there’s nothing underneath you to catch you. When I was climbing the pole, I really just didn’t want the pole to ever end. I didn’t want to get to the top, so I had to stand up on top of this pole. It kind of hit me that I’m gonna have to jump off this. I had to take a second to breathe. I was very proud of myself for just getting to the top of that pole, and being able to jump off was just amazing. I really feel like I pushed through a personal barrier. It was really scary.

* [Cameo photo shoot] I have never done anything like this, before, never in my life. I love it. I would do it 20 billion more times.

**(3.8)**

* [Jay Johnson session] I think this will definitely help with stamina on the field here at Texas Stadium.
* Jay is amazing. He knows what he’s doing. He knows what he’s talking about.
* [Holding audition photograph] This is not a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. [Points to herself] This is a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.
* [In uniform] It’s awesome that this uniform is mine. It has my name on it, and they’re not gonna take it back. They can’t take it back.
* [Gameday] It is very, very hot today. It’s got to be in the hundreds, and the sun is just pounding down.
* [Spraying hair] I have been spraying this thing down for hours.
* [Interspersed with flashbacks] My journey through training camp and auditions was a little rough. I was on the chopping block certain points throughout training camp, and Kitty did get in my face. I had to overcome a lot of fears and a lot of hurdles. My makeover changed everything about me. I look like a different person. Just kind of fired me up, got me ready. It’s amazing that I’m actually a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.

## **Office Visits**

### **Season 3**

**(3.3)**

* [First one out of four] Kelli says Jordyn is a mystery to them, because they think she has some potential there. And they think she’s a makeover candidate. The thing they’re not seeing yet is the wow factor. Kelli asks when she watched the veterans, who did she notice? Jordyn answers Makenzi. Kelli says Makenzi gets noticed, and that’s exactly the type of projection that Jordyn needs. Jordyn says she’ll definitely be working. [*Jordyn leaves*] Judy says you can’t help but like her. Kelli says she can’t stand how nervous they are already.
