I feel like we’ve been on the air longer than we filmed the show because that’s what it’s all about. Watch out for big grrrrs It would be I need dancers and I need people with good hearts and we also need superstars. So it was hard to find people who checked all those boxes. “
What are you doing? Lizzo attention with big girls The difference is that none of the competitors collapse in the traditional sense. Entering the competition, the competitors knew they would not advance into the competition if they weren’t ready for the stage yet, but their journey wasn’t over.

Traditionally, in reality shows, someone gets kicked out every week. I didn’t want it. These girls have practically been eliminated and rejected in the industry and I don’t want to say more. So we decided that no one should go home if they’re not ready, and I think that was important. “
