Raylee

* [Joint biography with KaShara] 18-years old from Texas. She and KaShara just moved in together. They met at audition, and just happened to hug after they made training camp. They have a very basic apartment. They’re your typical 20-something girls moving to the big city. Raylee is very committed to being here and will miss her high school graduation, so she's taken fake cap and gown pictures. During her senior year, she was homecoming queen, was in her first musical, and now she’s in training camp. It’s been great, but now it’s time to get to work.

**(10.3)**

* Joint biography with KaShara

**(10.8)**

* This last rehearsal of training camp is very stressful. The pressure is getting to me.

### **Season 12**

**(12.3)**

* It’s definitely not easy to hear that there’s so much talent coming in. This is a really intense process that no one will understand unless you’ve done it. Every year you have to prove to Kelli and Judy that you deserve that spot. It’s not something they hand to you. We want our team to stay excellent, but we’re sisters, and if one of us leaves, it will be devastating.
* We’re at finals and we’re all getting in costume, and doing hair, and teasing things really high, and putting on our numbers, and getting ready to perform.

## **Commentary**

### **Season 10**

**(10.3)**

* Why are you in the wrong outfits? – K/ This is my fault. I should have brought all my costumes with me. – KaShara/ The only thing we spoon-fed you last night was pictures of exactly what to wear. That’s strike one. Who else is… are we good? [*Raylee raises hand, also in wrong outfit*] Well… I don’t know what to say. – K
* Two of the girls wore the wrong outfit. Really? I was kind of speechless. Our first night and they blew it. They better never make a dumb mistake like that again. – K
* I like Raylee, I think she’s pretty. – K

**(10.4)**

* You’re a mess. It’s all over the place. – J

**(10.8)**

* There’s still a lot of training camp candidates that are still on the bubble. Raylee has to prove to us that she has the stamina. – J
* Raylee’s making mistakes. – J
* Lots of mistakes. Did you just freestyle in the middle of that? Don’t freestyle. Pick up with what’s the next count. You look exhausted to me. – J
* That was better. I would hate to think that we have to threaten you before every routine to get that. – K

### **Season 12**

**(12.3)**

* Does she do anything for you? – Charlotte/ I always kind of thought she was middle-of-the-road. – K/ This one did not bring it, today. – Melissa Rycroft
* I think Raylee is a risk of not making this team. – K
* [Finals deliberations] She didn’t look like she was having fun. You can tell when the DCC go out there, they’re as funky as all get-out. She didn’t have that. – Melissa Rycroft/ Yeah – McCoy/ I don’t think she did anything to lose her spot/ Did she do anything to keep it? Just being the same is really not good enough. – Charlotte
