Bethany (S11 TCC)

Total: 9 (T9 most, Season 11)

* “It really just takes a wrong arm, wrong placement, wrong move here or there to get you called into the office, so there’s a lot of pressure to be on point at all times.“
* [Before office visit] “I was having a few errors with the choreography, so really hoping [Kelli and Judy] are going to give me a second chance tomorrow to come in powerful and stronger.“
* [After office visit] “(Kelli and Judy) were disappointed in me because they know I can do better. Think it’s good to have a wake-up call before we are too many dances in to fix. Will be able to correct so we don’t have to have this conversation again.“

**(11.5)**

* [Uniform fittings] “Really excited for today, we get to try on the uniforms and we get really good one-on-one time with Kelli. Really looking forward to that. Hoping I get one of my own by the end of summer.“
* [Belk fashion show] “I’ve never walked a runway before, and I’m the first one to walk today.“

**(11.6)**

* “The timing of the jump split is really important and I jump split early, and it was scary. Thankfully I didn’t get hurt and injure anybody else.“
* “Kitty (Carter) definitely has a say in who is going to be cut tonight. She is very opinionated, and Kelli & Judy definitely listen to her and value her opinion.“
* [Before office visit] “At this point, it is at the end of week 5, so it is emotional, of course. You never want to be called into the office. I would be upset if I were cut tonight.“
* [After cut] “There’s not enough time to fix placement, and they’re deciding the team. Coming into training camp doesn’t mean I had a place on the team, and I realize that. Guess I'll probably move back to Kentucky, stay positive. God has another plan for me. They’re going to pick an amazing team, and I’m just not going to be a part of that this year.“

## **Commentary**

### **Season 11**

**(11.3)**

* [Practice] “Bethany looked a little awkward there.” – Kelli

**(11.4)**

* “You better get in the game and get in it fast. You cannot make this many mistakes.“ – Kelli
* “You’re not finishing your movements. If (Michelle Keys) says touch the ground, touch the ground. Don’t just go halfway there because it’s easier to get to the next count.“ – Judy

**(11.5)**

* “Kind of good, but I still really want you to break up the expression somehow.“ – Kelli
* [Uniform fitting] “This girl’s body is like quintessential. If I could order them all like this, because I don’t have to do anything.“
* [Fashion show] “She’s got a killer body.” – Kelli/“I wish she could dance like she looks.” – Judy
* “Tess and Bethany can get kind of messy.” – Judy

**(11.6)**

* [Cameos] “Bethany stares real hard with her eyes. She just looks startled all the time. We need her to relax and smile a little bit with her eyes.” – Judy/“Because we still can’t all figure out why she looks startled.”
* [Bethany goes into the jump split too early] “That’s going to hurt somebody. So y’all be really careful.“ – Judy
* “Bethany landed in her jump split about a whole count ahead of the rest of the team. That has a dangerous domino effect. She could pull somebody else down, somebody could tear a muscle.“ – Kelli
* “I think Bethany’s boring right out of the gate.” – Kelli
* “I have a question mark on you because you’re inconsistent.” – Kelli
* “Quit painting with your arms.“ – Kitty Carter
* “Emily and Bethany are the worst to me tonight.” – Kelli
* “Now watch Bethany’s face. She looks scared to death. She’s like this [makes face]. She’s got those long legs, but she can’t bring them down.“ – Kitty
* “You got these long, long legs. You’ve got to get them down.“ – Kitty
* “I think Bethany should be going [home from Training Camp].“ – Kitty

## **Office Visits**

### **Season 11**

**(11.4)**

* [End of episode, 2nd of 3 called in] Kelli says she started off as one of strongest swimmers, but now she's metaphorically drowning. If making cuts tonight based off latest routines, you wouldn’t make team. She starts to ask if something happened, and Bethany says tonight was an eye opener, and when she’s practicing with rookies, she’s not realizing mistakes she’s making, and tonight she noticed she was messing up and was trying the fix the choreography that she’d incorrectly learned. Kelli says she’s trying to throw her a life ring, and if she doesn’t recover, she’s be disappointed for her and with her. Bethany says she can do it.

**(11.6)**

* [End of episode, only one called in] Kelli asks how she feels right now. Bethany shrugs and says she’s ready to discuss what’s going on. Kelli says she wants her to be good. She’s tall, beautiful, has beautiful kicks. For the dance part, she’s losing detail in her body placement. Bethany says she can fix that. Kelli says her expressions are also expressions of tension, sometimes. So now they need everyone to be great performers with ease and excitement. Right now, their expectations don’t match her performance. [*Commercial*] Bethany says she can work on it through weekend and rookie week. Promises she can make leaps and bounds of improvement. Kelli says they are out of time. It’s a decision night and tonight will be her last night. Bethany thanks them and wishes there was more time. They do too.
