Does Paul do the hiring of the dancers?

True story, I asked our contact at the Blazers if I could be a judge this year and he said he'd get back to me... never heard from him again. Now which one of you guys ratted me out?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Maybe Rice and Barrett do the hiring of the dance team.

Danforth, Dirt and Sprague did the prelims for the auditions.... so yeah, you clearly have no qualifications to do this, sly.

Those guys where kinda rude about it on the radio.

That was a little awkward with Drew Carney. Eh. This will be fun.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, some of them are not very good.

I felt really bad for that one that was about a beat slower than the rest. It was super awkward.

#20 is a shoe-in.

She was good.

She was good.

Sly, if you had told everyone about this earlier... we could have met at Grand Central.

 

[Strenuus]

That last part of the last dance was a little off.. lol.

Hahahahaha! I'm sure at least 1 or 2 people would have shown up.

I think #4 and 5 dont like #6. I can feel the animosity!!

I just watched the first round (40 of 160 minutes) and I'm tired. Judging them is harder than I expected. No one stands out as bad. All 37 are experienced and know what they're doing. Now there are a couple more rounds and 16 will win. I can't judge quickness, watching 3 at a time. I'd hate to be a basketball scout.

I'd just pick the 16 shortest dancers, they make our team seem taller. The tall contestants just looked out of place and gangly

When a tall one swings her arm or leg, you notice it more, because it travels farther.

I'm a rookie to this, but it seems that the skill is 80% quickness, 10% travel distance of limbs, and 10% how well they know the routines. The last can be corrected with practice. Down around #16, the tie-breaker is beauty. Above #16, skill is the only factor. The judges are mainly women who have done or taught cheerleading for years. As a man, I'm just stupidly thinking, they're all good; I don't know who to pick.

Everyone pop a viagra and watch. Last one to pitch a tent wins

#7 is a family friend. She was our neighbor for 10 years weird to think she could be a Blazer dancer. She's also a very good singer. Try and find one of her YouTube videos and post later
