Nicole Hamilton

Total: x

Season 3: 3

Season 4: 0

* We walked in in the locker room, and we saw the board with everybody’s pictures on it, and I’m like, “please tell me this is not what I think it is.”
* To actually hear Kelli say that a veteran could get cut this year was extremely terrifying for us. It’s like we’re a rookie all over again.

**(3.5)**

* [Jay’s leap of faith session] It makes me feel really good that I made it. No matter if you’re scared about something, you can do it. You just focus in just the way I focused in on that bar, and you can do anything.

## **Commentary**

### **Season 3**

**(3.2)**

* Nicole Hamilton, she always brings it on. She is a beautiful young lady with a lot of sex appeal, and she has more energy that half the young ladies sitting in that room. – J
* This year, the bar was raised by her performance.

**(3.3)**

* I was very surprised that Nicole flunked the test. My expectations for Nicole are not short of perfection. – K
* [Regarding her being ranked towards the middle of the rankings board] Nicole, you should be up here. You failed a test, so that keeps you off the top. That’s ridiculous. I mean, it’s ridiculous. – K
* Nicole, if you can’t tell me which division the Dallas Cowboys play in, I’m not gonna defend that either. – K

**(3.7)**

* Jordyn, at the beginning when y’all do up and pump and an up and pump where my “and six” you have to pop it as big as Nicole. [*Has her do the move simultaneously with Nicole*] It’s a competition right now. Win it! Win it! That’s all we’re asking for, is to compete with Nicole, okay? – J

### **Season 4**

**(4.3)**

* [After “big sisters” are assigned] Nicole Hamilton is my big sis. And I’m really excited. She’s a five-year veteran, which means she has a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge that she can share with me. – Rachel Buckmaster

**(4.4)**

* Nicole’s amazing. I could never compare to Nicole. But I’m going to try. – Rachel Buckmaster

**(4.7)**

* [Judy has Nicole perform for the rookies] Everyone of you need to do it like that; sexy, you need to swirl your hips where you look like you’re banging that car door shut. – J

### **Season 13**

**(13.5)**

* Nicole was the point of the triangle when she cheered. – Shelly Bramhall
