“I told myself I wasn’t going to cry for the rest of training camp, but training camp’s over now, so I guess this is okay, right?“.We all expected Kitty to come in and … okay, starstruck over here.“ She always had positive, encouraging things to say, and it was very helpful.“ “Last year I had a tough training camp, and Melissa Rycroft was such a good mentor to me.“We’re here to get tips from Melissa Rycroft heading before heading to day 2 of training camp, which is super exciting.“.“My whole life I’ve never had a Barbie, so that was exciting for me.“.“Heart is beating a million MPH, palms sweaty, super nervous, fingers crossed that Kelli calls my name.It reminds me to lift my chest up and smile bigger.“ “I love making eye contact with Charlotte (Jones) anytime I dance, because she just lights up.“So relieved, like a million pounds of weight off my shoulder.“.I took the criticism and made it into a positive.“ “Last year at training camp, Kitty (Carter) didn’t love me.I promised myself I wasn’t going to cry this season." “Can’t put into words how much I want it.I’m back and hopefully it’s good enough this year.“ I had been fighting my naturally curly hair forever, so it feels good to just be myself. They had trouble figuring out a look for me. “Made it to training camp last year, but got cut. And there's a reason why people look up to you and you're America's sweethearts, so thank you so much, each and every one of you.“ “I just wanted to say thank you for being such incredible role models.It was a good ride, but unfortunately, I’ve got to drive on home now.“ I got to be part of such an incredible thing.
