    Color me impressed! It took my cousin quite a while to get IN dental school. It is HARD. Good for Allie!

    I follow former DCC Heather Hamilton on Insta, she is going into her second year as a Titans cheerleader. Allie recently visited her in Nashville.

  2. I’m creeping out of my hole to comment…

    I never “hated” VK. I don’t hate people I don’t know or have never met. 

    What I greatly disliked (and I don’t think I’m alone in this) was the obvious, glaring special treatment she was given by TPTP in Season 13. There are too many examples for me to count and if you’ve watched the show you know what they are. No need to go there. 

    All you have to do is watch Season 14 prelims and watch her fall out of her turn. Had it been anyone else who did that, Kelli would have put a big N in her book and moved on. Instead, Kelli laughs and says, “Oh, Victoria!” and Victoria moves on to semis. 

    With that said, I do believe VK matured in that year between Season 13 and 14, and earned her spot that year. I wish her all the best in her return to the squad. 
     

    Going back to my hole now…

    I was a little surprised they didn't mention either Lexie or Ashlee. 

    So was I, especially Lexie. Isn’t she at least a four or five-year vet now?

    Question: what happened to the facility at valley ranch ? did they tear it down when the Star was complete ?

    They tore it down in late 2018. I saw it a few months before that. They were supposed to be building apartments on the land, don’t know if they ever did.

    I think it the first and last vet called for solos that are the coveted spots.

    But the rumor is that that last vet called into Training Camp at the end of finals is the “warning.” Happened to Melissa W her last year too, and the rumor was that she’d been on weight warning most of the previous season and TPTB wanted her sweat it out. 

    That’s what I thought, too. 
     

    If you watch when Kashara’s called last at finals, to me she looks like she’s about to cry because she thought she might have been cut.

  7. I have a theory about Gina. I’m guessing she wants to shine as co-point with Rachel.

     

    Remember that Kashara gained weight over the summer between her first full year at point and the second?I think I’ve got that right. I just remember it was between seasons.
     

    Kelli and Judy punished Kashara at finals by making her the last vet called. It sent a clear message that if she didn’t lose it she’d no longer be point and possibly be off the squad.
     

    Gina is no dummy. I think she remembered that. Maybe she went overboard to not gain weight over the summer and it went the other way.
     

    I think she’s photoshopped her pics in the past to look skinny but what we’re seeing now (I believe) is really her. And that’s sad because she is a great dancer and doesn’t need to do go overboard.

     

    Just a theory…

    This is a thought of mine as well. Particularly in the 2nd photo of her solo costume, her arms and legs do not look skeletal at all, which I think means she either overtrains her abs or over-photoshops them🤷🏼‍♀️ 

    I think she has sculpted abs but Gina has always over-photoshopped her photos, mainly her torso. I wish she wouldn’t because it makes her body look markedly wonky.

    No matter why she's leaving someone needs to tell this child calling yourself "brave, mature, and unselfish" is a bad look, too self involved, sounds like way too much ego. You're supposed to let others call you that then thank them for saying such nice things about you.

    That’s what I was thinking when I read it. 
     

    I really hope we find out soon what’s going on. If she re-auditions next year, fine. She took a year to deal with whatever’s going on and has the right to try again like anybody else.
     

    But if they give her an automatic spot next year without auditioning, I’ll be pissed.

    I'm talking about the options given to the DCC for trying out/not trying out, not talking about other dance opportunities. 

    Yes because we should all be bubble experts, dealing with something that has never happened before.  Good grief.  

    Maybe, but they didn't.  

    If they’re going to take the huge risk of holding training camp in the midst of a pandemic, it’s their responsibility to make every effort to consult with available experts and public health officials about what safety measures they should be taking to consistently to protect the TCCs and the community they’ll go out into after training camp. 

    But anyone watching even one episode this season can observe that their attempts at enforcing consistent mask wearing and social distancing were haphazard at best.

    Sorry, don't agree.   They have an option - try out and do the show or don't.  They had even more options this year due to Covid and many of them chose not to go that route and are probably wishing they had now.

    More options? Where? Covid shut down Broadway and many of the other dance venues they could have tried for in a "normal" year.

    After seeing how poorly the "Bubble" was maintained and how Kelli and Judi cut two top-notch vets for a few unproven rookies (esp one like Alora Rose who is a yawn fest), I'm betting those that didn't go are thanking their lucky stars they didn't.

    They should have kept vets and never had training camp this year.

    At least VK wasn’t shoved down our throats this episode.  In fact I don’t even remember seeing her.

    One of the very few things I actually enjoyed about this season!!! I think they knew many of us thought she was better kept in the background than showcased at every turn like last season.

  13. Okay, I have a confession to make. I'm 52 and not "with it" in terms of current styles, cosmetics, hair styles, etc. But when I was watching that 15-minute compilation of the audition videos, I kept staring at their eyebrows. How much time does it take to get your eyebrows to look like that? Is it now a "thing" to have them so perfectly shaped and sculpted? If so, I'm glad I'm old and don't have to take the time to figure out how to get mine to look like that. It would take me all day! 🤣🤣🤣

    Nice to see Gina's natural waist here looking quite normal, unlike the ultra photoshopped weird result we see in what she herself usually posts. I love Gina as a dancer but will never understand WHY she does this to her own photos when she looks great as she is.

    Same here. She may have been the nicest, smartest, best dancer, best body, goddess of all the world but all I remember her for is that stare. It might have been fear, it might have been just the way her eyes are but it made me not like watching her.

    I will always wonder why they brought her back a second time. Maybe the men all liked her? She still had the overly done eye makeup and pigeon toed walk she had the last time. That didn't change. She did have better showmanship from being on the Mavs but I think that was the best place for her, an NBA setting.

    I do think she tends to be on the too thin side these days (her abs do look toned & really good in this pic though), but she filters her instagram pics so much it's hard to tell how thin she really is and what is filter.

    YES YES YES. I like Gina more than I used to in the beginning. But I honestly think she photoshops her waist in every flippin' photo she posts and there is no need to at all. She would look perfectly fine without trying to convince us she has a corset-produced tiny waist yet somehow normal healthy toned legs. She's a great looking woman without the filters/photoshopping.

    And you could tell from their first screen that Tara and Savannah were never that close anyway.

     

    Jasmine and Danielle on the other hand ... looked like they had alot more in common besides cheering on the Jets. Besides if I remembered correctly, Jasmine's final year on the Jets, Danielle wasn't even on the Jets anymore because she did her 3 years on the Jets the year before (about a year before her rookie) and she spent the next year on the New York Giants unofficial cheering team but the production wasn't exactly going to "talk" about unofficial things without making themselves look like they promote "unofficial things" and it did feel like they kept in contact during that final year before their rookie year.

     

    Also Jasmine and Danielle both had alot more in common than Tara and Savannah in terms on things to deal with their rookie year on DCC eg first time paying rent and bills for the first time, and seems like they lived at home when they were on the Jets and had their parents comforts to an extent eg parent chaffeur etc (I know that was not said by anyone on the show on Danielle/Jasmine but the way they talked about it ,makes it like that) and Danielle has also said on instagram that her parents spent alot of money coming to Dallas just to see her at every football game and that looked liked it included when she is All Stars too. Both seems too proud to ask their parents for help in rent/bills etc as its their first and that in itself brings up alot more bond than Savannah/Tara. 

    I was just looking at Danielle's wedding web site and Jasmine is going to be her Maid of Honor. That tells me they are still very close. A number of former DCCs are going to be bridesmaids, including Jordan Elizabeth, Alex Hermes and Jessica. I can't remember the others.

  18. After the uproar about Jaylyn not being chosen again for Show Group last year so VK could have a spot, I knew Kelli would never, ever put her back on. I have no doubt both Kalinas insisted on that. I’m honestly relieved Jaylyn is still on the team. I thought she might get axed, not Hannah. That stunned me.

  19. Random thoughts...

    I always liked Lauren Williams for her "the cow they named after me" comment. She seemed real to me.

    It kind of surprised me that Judy went ballistic over Lauren Castillo's reply. Every time I saw Lauren C, she was attached to Cassie's elbow.  I didn't think she'd go after a Cassie buddy like that.

    Someone asked a few pages back about why Jordan missed the Game Day bus. I could have sworn in one of the first airings of the show she said something about oversleeping because her alarm clock didn't go off. But it got edited out.

    I think one of the best DCCs that came out of the show was Brandy Kilby. She came back from being called a stripper to make the team, did it for a year then said "buh-bye" to become a Laker Girl. Now she's happily married, has six (?) kids and looks fabulous. She definitely didn't let DCC define her.

    Then there's Karissa, who never made the team. I think had she not had the wacky family issues that were dogging her, she could have had the time (and money) to take the classes she needed to improve her dancing. But she moved away from Texas (SMART MOVE), went on to law school in Miami, got married and is practicing law in San Francisco now. She moved on and is doing great.

    One last thing. After they moved to the Star, the show got more fake/plastic/mannequin-like (to quote Kelli describing one of the Minschew sisters) and the TCCs started to run together for me. Less interesting back stories about the girls and more guest choreographers/celebrity crap. As a result, even with the Ericka/Holly/Jenna drama, it got boring.
