Rose (S10 TCC)

Total: 9 (13th most, Season 10)

* [Panel interviews] I originally answered with Uncle Sam just because I had that picture in my head of him pointing at you like, “What can you do?” Turns out it’s JFK.

**(10.3)**

* My stomach definitely went into knots when Kelli said she wanted us to be world-class. So, that did raise my level of expectation.
* I’m not really sure what to do about the “awkward” comment. It is very vague and could be taken a lot of ways.
* [After office, crying] I don’t want to be the girl that was pretty enough to get here. I want to be the girl that was talented enough to get here. So, it was just frustrating when you’re working hard, and it’s not showing.

**(10.5)**

* I’m tired of hearing that I’m awkward, but you know what? At least they gave me more things I can improve on to make me less awkward. I’m hoping I can just loosen up a little bit so I can show them that I can flirt with the audience a little more than I’m doing right now.
* [Fashion show] All eyes are on me, and I know the pressure’s on.
* I know Kelli and Judy really value Kitty’s opinion, so I am concerned that that could be a problem for me.
* [Before office] Kelli called my name into the office, so I’m a little nervous to see what we’ll be discussing tonight, but I’m just hoping that they give me another chance and it’s a more constructive conversation about what I can do to improve.
* [After cut, teary] It’s hard to have something taken away from you that you’ve worked really hard. You think that this all could happen and kind of planned for that, and now it’s not going to. This is something that I want to finish. I’ve gotten the feedback that I need, and I’ll be ready to wear those boots next year, I hope.

**(10.5)**

* Rose is awkward on some stuff. – K
* There are moments when you’re cute and strong, and then there’s moments when you’re awkward, and one in particular is there’s a circle. You kind of have a yardstick and you’re, like, going around in a paint can. Really stick your butt out. Arch. – K/ We say, “awkward,” it’s usually ‘cause you’re just not dancing mature. – J
* [Fashion show] She just doesn’t look real comfortable. – J/ She’s always shrugging. – K
* Rose was as awkward on the runway as she is on the dance floor, and I’m hoping she can find her sexiness fast. – J

* You look very uncomfortable. – Kitty Carter
* I think she’s a cute, tall drink of water, but I think she’s very clumsy. For me, she’s a substitute. – Kitty Carter

## **Office Visits**

### **Season 10**

**(10.3)**

* [End of episode, second of two] Kelli says she needs to be more powerful, because she’s being seen as average. Kelli asks her how long it will take to develop. After a pause, Kelli asks if her eyes are red, and if she’s been crying. Rose says it’s a little of each. Kelli asked if she cried because she was called in, but Rose denies that, and says she was a little overwhelmed. Kelli tells her this is an easy night, and Rose says it’s just fatigue and she wasn’t expecting to be questioned about her dance background. Kelli is surprised, and Rose mentions she knows she hasn’t practiced technique lately. Kelli asks her to define lately, and when she was last in regular dance classes. Rose says most regularly, two years ago. She’s been taking occasional classes, but nothing consistently. Kelli says they have 46 in training camp, and plan for a team of 36. [Commercial break] Judy tells Rose that she still has the awkwardness of a little girl, as Rose wipes away a tear. Kelli says she’s not getting control and placement out of her. Judy says some people can’t do hip-hop or pom style dancing. Kelli doesn’t want to imply she doesn’t have potential; they wouldn’t have her here if not. But she’s going to get out-danced if she can’t find that power inside her. Judy thinks it’s there; they just haven’t seen it. Kelli asks why Rose is still crying, and Rose says she’s frustrated with herself. Kelli doesn’t think she needs to be frustrated with herself. She needs to walk out of there, learn from tonight and press on for tomorrow. [Rose leaves] Kelli asks Judy if Rose thought they were cutting her tonight? Judy thinks so, and Kelli remarks, “poor thing.”

**(10.5)**

* [End of episode, first of three] Rose feels like she’s improved, but that there’s still room for improvement. Kelli says they had Kitty and Melissa, and trust their opinions. They’ve had a lot of dance notes saying “awkward,” and that she doesn’t look like an experienced dancer for their style. They’ve seen what they’ve needed to see, and don’t think she’s ready for the team this year. Rose thanks them, and wishes she had more time to change their mind (Kelli agrees). Rose asks for some things to focus on for next year, and Kelli says feet, which is dance technique. Judy tells her to connect the power, and that her body sometimes looks awkward. Rose is appreciative, and praises the other TCC’s.
