Lacey and Chelsie were able to walk right on the show and "be" pros - automatically. Snow has to compete with 5 others just to win at being a pro. She got a raw deal. Maybe there is more with what these kids have done after SYTYCD than we know. Hell, Artem and Dmitri have become guest choreographers and "pro" dance guests. Anything is possible. I guess Pasha will be next?? Does anyone know how Lacey or Chelsie got their jobs? I would guess they had to audition against some other very good dancers, maybe even the 6 that are still trying to get on via public vote. I would doubt they were able to "walk right on."

Popularity only carries people so far in this show. I didn't see the first season so I can't comment on that, but * IMO * with the exception of Jerry Rice, the top 3 have all been good performers/dancers in the past seasons. Fun performers like Cloris, Steve O, Marie, and Steve W will never win because as the competition loses celebs, the people voting start to move more towards those who can dance and not those who just entertain. Plus, with less votes allowed, it's harder for the fun celebs to overcome bad judge scores. I think this show would be very different (in the beginning) if only one vote per phone/email address were allowed. Someone's 10 votes for Steve O outweight my 2 votes for 5 other starsI want to see stay. I think this would cause the bad dancers to go out faster. Master P/Sarah Evans/Billy Ray would probably not have lasted as long and Sabrina may not have been booted so early.

I would guess they were recruited because of their preexisting fan bases & their youth. Many of the pros & their fans are older & I'm guessing ABC wanted to draw in the younger viewers.

(unless you were only talking about older seasons). Also, about Chelsie and Lacey getting the jobs on this show, I remember listening to an interview with Nigel Lythgoe (where he talked about ideal weights for dancers and such), and he said the producers of DWTS had contacted him and requested Chelsie as a dancer (or something to that effect). So they probably had an audition process, but I'm guessing they were sought out by the producers/recruiters directly because they are talented, and have proven they know how to work the cameras (I can imagine some pro dancers having difficulty with the whole television/personality aspect of the show).

None of those titles matter in comparison to the Mirror Ball Trophy, of course. There's a prize worth competing for.... and by competing, I mean, trying to get more popular with the viewers.

Eeh, half of the people on SYTYCD have professional experience and have since the first season and all of them have professional training (even if they pretend that they don't) it's what makes the routines able to be as great as they are with the two days that they have to rehearse. And they're not producing albums so their past success doesn't matter.

Benji, Lacey, Heidi, Dmitri, and Chelsie have all made it far in contests (or won, in some cases). Last Edited By: littltimmy 04/27/09 6:07 PM. Edited 1 times.
