Carla Ann

Total: 10

* “I did blank whenever they asked who was the Democratic nominee for 2012. I do know the answer now. It’s Michelle Obama. [*Sad trombone noise plays*] Is that right? Was that right? That wasn’t right? Okay.“

**(7.2)**

* “From now on, it is a goal to keep my name out of Judy’s mouth, so…“
* “Today is a very important day, because I want to do better than what I did last night to show Kelli and Judy that I can be a DCC.“
* “I was very comfortable working with Sydney. She taught me what I needed work on and everything I need to get better on.“
* “I’m feeling pretty nervous, but I think by the time 7:00 comes, I’m gonna be prepared for tonight.“
* “If I could look at Judy and Kelli right now, I would tell them to have faith in me because I’m gonna be a great DCC.“
* “I felt like I knew the moves, but when I got out there in front of Judy and Kelli, I kind of went blank a little bit on a few parts.“
* [Office visits announced] “Hopefully, Judy and Kelli won’t cut girls the second night because it’s so much to learn just in two days. But I hope they actually give me a chance and just have faith in me.“
* [Before office] “I think Kelli and Judy want to talk to me about remembering the moves. So, just memorizing and just being a little bit more powerful in my movements.“
* [After cut] “The lesson is not to trust anybody out there. You never know who’s real or fake and don’t trust boyfriends. They’re all liars.“

## **Commentary**

### **Season 7**

**(7.1)**

* [*After Carla cannot name the 2012 Democratic presidential nominee*] “Alright, yikes.“ – Brenda Teele

**(7.2)**

* “Carla, cute smile. “No” on choreography right now. Yeah, this Carla’s a mess.“ – Kelli
* “I know you’re gonna be one of those that needs to take it home and we’ll see how you do tomorrow. ‘Cause I know it’s harder to put it all together for you tonight.“ – Judy/“Cute smile, but everything else was learning.“ – Kelli
* “Bad.“ – Judy/“What’s bad?“ – Kelli/“Carla.“ – Judy/“Carla, the choreography is overwhelming you.“ – Kelli
* “Your head and sexy hips, show me those. [*Carla does*] You’re really, it’s like you’re scared to do it because, “I might be wrong.” So, go ahead and pop your hips all the way.“ – Judy [*Carla repeats and asks Judy if that was better, and she says yes*]
* [Confessional after Carla is cut] “There’s just no recovering from this particular situation. There’s no question who it is or who it was or what she was displaying. It’s just a bad choice.“ – Kelli
* [Confessional after Carla is cut] “The pictures of Carla just show how vulnerable young ladies are nowadays. That’s what’s so scary and it’s a lesson learned for all the little girls that are out there, and it’s not even just being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. It could be your career someday and this could ruin so many opportunities that could make your life better.“ – Judy

### **Season 7**

**(7.2)**

* [End of episode, third of three] Kelli asks how she feels, and Carla says she feels good. Kelli says it looks like she’s really struggling with the choreography, and it’s not going to get any slower. They’re going to be teaching routines every night and it’s going to get faster. But, additionally, her biggest concern is she needs her to explain these photo [*showing her some photographs*]. Carla says her ex-boyfriend send the photos of her in, and he just doing it to get back at her and ruin her life. Judy asks if she took the photos, and Carla confirms and says he also took photos of her. Kelli says their concern is that these photos are out and they’re absolutely a risk for them, and are distasteful for Carla. Carla says that’s not who she is. Kelli says they don’t look like they were taken against her own will, so it looks to her like really bad judgment on her part. And her fear would be if she’s announced as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, these pictures could affect them. They’re in a situation where they can’t afford to take a risk like that. There’s really no recovery from this kind of thing. She knows this is early, and it’s only the second night, but tonight is her last night. Carla apologizes and says she doesn’t want them to think of her as that person because she’s not. [*Carla leaves*] Kelli says she was young and stupid and, unfortunately, nothing’s private anymore. Judy says not to blame that on anyone else but yourself; you got the camera in your hand. Kelli remarks that she’s taking pictures of herself and sending them to the wrong person, clearly. Judy says nothing is private anymore. Kelli remarks that the internet is killing some of these girls.
