You go, girl.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, back on the field, Kelli and Judy have three cuts to make before the first game in two weeks, and they are feeling the pressure.<\/p>\n<p>If you remember last week, sweet Julia was in a car accident while on her way to rehearsal. Thankfully, she escaped any major injuries and is back tonight and cleared to dance for the first time. Kelli and Judy tell her, however, that if she feels weird or if she needs to stop, to just give them the signal.<\/p>\n<p>The pre-game routine starts without any major problems: a few mistakes by Meredith, Shaina, and Julia, but otherwise, it was a good run. Victoria is on top of things so she\u2019s moved into a new rookie position to help her fellow hopefuls.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\" id=\"09f8c82b\">\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"><noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;img&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/5-1570805050.gif\" title=\"5\" class=\"js-srcset-img shortcode-image\" alt><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s hard, y\u2019all. So hard. We couldn\u2019t do any of this.<\/p>\n<p>Julia visits the office to talk about her media day podcast, err\u2026blip. Remember the comment about using DCC as a resume booster for her broadcast career? Yeah. That one didn\u2019t sit well with any of the judges or Judy and Kelli. Julia explains that that is not what she meant and that it was a poor choice of words. Kelli and Judy don\u2019t look 100% convinced, but it is apparent that Julia may just need more media coaching to help her diplomatically get her points across. It\u2019s a \u201cteachable moment,\u201d according to Kelli.<\/p>\n<p>Now for something completely different: learned about cooking and meal prepping. Kevin Curry from Fit Men Cook pops into the stadium to teach the girls all about cooking for nutrition and fuel.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\" id=\"7efff8bd\">\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"><noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;img&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/13-1570805072.gif\" title=\"13\" class=\"js-srcset-img shortcode-image\" alt><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>WE LOVE THIS.<\/p>\n<p>But this ain\u2019t just a class on nutrition\u2026 this is officially the Tex Mex Fit Women Cook Cookoff!<\/p>\n<p>Count on Kelli and Judy to make it a challenge!<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone is a cook\u2026 God bless, Victoria. Maddie is right at home and so is Meredith. We just love the girls cheering each other on. This is a really good group and a great day of team-building.<\/p>\n<p>So, who wins the challenge? The underdogs! Victoria, Amy, and Amanda with the Shrimp Quinoa and guacamole.<\/p>\n<p>Back on the field, because there\u2019s no time to rest, the girls once again go to work on their field entrance, pre-game triangle, kick line, and jump splits. Shaina can\u2019t seem to find her energy and appears to be marking, but a bigger issue comes up when it seems that a candidate has gone down\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Bridget appears to have passed out\u2014she was exhausted and dehydrated. A girl\u2019s gotta eat, and she hadn\u2019t. Fortunately, she was just fine after water and a snack. Whew!<\/p>\n<p>But we still have another problem\u2014cuts. Remember last week, Kelli and Judy didn\u2019t make cuts last week because they weren\u2019t ready, but tonight could be different.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\" id=\"e7f6a907\">\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"><noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;img&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/24-1570805106.gif\" title=\"24\" class=\"js-srcset-img shortcode-image\" alt><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Shaina is the first to be called into the office tonight. She\u2019s great on camera, great at media, beautiful in photos, but she\u2019s not as strong as she needs to be on the field\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a tough summer for sweet Shaina. She lost three of her friends in a tragic helicopter accident right in the middle of training camp and really hasn\u2019t had time to process that trauma.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, it is going to be Shaina last night with DCC, but in a way, the dancer sees it as a sign and an opportunity to work through her grief and deal with the tremendous changes in her personal life.<\/p>\n<p>Judy and Kelli think she just needs more time and love on her before she leaves, saying they hope they see her again. And we do, too.<\/p>\n<p>Who will survive another week of camp?
