OMG! Cassie was a HORRIBLE dancer! Yeah she may have improved over the years, but none of the videos I have seen of her dancing show anything remotely close to what DCC standards they are always crowing about. She would never have made it without her family name. It's just disgusting to hear how true it is too that she was indeed the horrible person that she comes off as. Just a snotty tattletale who probably was liked by no one, but they pretend to be her friends even to this day for whatever reason.....probably to stay in good graces as an alumni.

Dayton seems to be the punching bag this season as if they are trying to overcompensate for the obvious favoritism Cassie received. Like they are trying to prove they don't play favorites. However, it's all negated by the love fest Victoria is getting.

Do we think Tara's cut will be shown or just brushed under the rug like Erica's cut?

I still love the show. It certainly has a very different feel than days of old when the superstars like Kelsi Reich, Ashton Torres, Brooke Sorenson, etc. were on the team. It definitely feels more produced. I actually think CMT is trying too hard to listen to the viewers and give us what we've asked for. It used to be only half an hour....we asked for an hour. It became an hour. We asked to see more dancing, and they did start showing more in the last few seasons. We asked to not see so much Jay segments, and that was cut out for a good number of seasons. We asked to know more of the TCC's and they started showing side by side panels of the girls dancing with their names on the screen. We asked for alumni showings and they have started doing that with the workshops and now the updates on where are they now. We can't really get upset that we are getting everything we asked for in the past. Now everyone's asking for it to go back to the way things used to be. It's kind of funny how that works.

Oh that's true too. Difference was Kelli genuinely liked Danielle and Courtney. Didn't sense she felt the same for Shelby. But it was pretty apparent that Shelby was telling Kelli she quit in hopes to get the same treatment.

I always thought the same thing! After the Courtney thing and Kelli offering to help her find a job, Shelby telling Kelli she quit hers the next season, it was so obvious that Shelby expected the same response Kelli had given Courtney. I laughed when Kelli was like "So how are you going to afford to live jobless?" It was very pointed like "I ain't giving you any help bitch!"

That's EXACTLY who she reminded me of when she was telling Kitty she probably wasn't the best or whatever. Her speech pattern was eerily similar to that Megan B chick. Just weird!

I wonder if they will address Tara's cut at all on the show?

She looked amazing! Glad for her!

@ShellyB, I loved seeing a glimpse of your strong relationship with Dayton on the show tonight. Your encouragement and support of her must mean the world to her. She's so lucky to have you as a mom :)

Yes and in Jinger's case, they said that the epidural HELPED her progress in labor because it helped her relax enough to get things moving. Tension can halt labor. It was nice to see a different perspective on things.

Oh man! As someone who used to be a magnet for cops pulling me over, I feel for Dayton! I don't think there's any acceptable excuse for being late in DCC world except for being dead.

Yes!! I was annoyed that all these 2nd year girls kept going on about it! Whatever happened to it just being an honor to even go on the shoot!

VK will be called in next week. I have a feeling they're showing this and being hard on Dayton because they want to show that they don't play favorites. They certainly never showed Cassie in the office and pretty much excused her horrible dancing by blaming it on her asthma.

It seems maybe they will feature a Where Are They Now segment each episode perhaps? I got to be in Nicole Bulcher's Bar Method class when they filmed footage of her teaching for possible airing this season. I hope they show it!

Alexis is STUNNING! She's a natural.

I agree about Dayton. She IS very lovely, beautiful, poised, and well spoken. I just love her dancing that we've seen...it's beautiful! I love the way she also comes across overall. She really has been a favorite of mine since last year and not because Shelly is here, but I know she's the type I would love regardless. She's got a bright future no matter what she does! I can see that Cassie vibe. Though I do think she's still more attractive than Cassie could ever hope to be. I even watched an episode today from last season where the alumni gave critiques at the dance studio and Cassie was bragging about being the one who could lay down the law.....BARF!!! Ugh! She's not even likable!

I saw KaShara at Bar Method recently teaching and she looked good there! But I do agree that in her solo, she looked a lot heavier than usual. I am guessing, she got toned up or the outfit or TV just weren't doing her any favors. I mean the camera doesn't always flatter everyone. The former DCC's I have seen in person always look much smaller than on TV. I love Jenn K, but yeah, I feel like she's allowing some of this to maybe go to her head with "I could put uniform on 10 of them...." business. Well YOU aren't putting a uniform on them yet girlie! She seems a little too in charge and talking down a bit for only being a very recent DCC herself.

Why does Miss America girl Rachel remind me a lot of Megan B from a couple years ago...the way she looks and talks, especially when she told Kitty she wasn't the best or whatever. It reminded me of Megan B in the office being so weird in how she talked and so spacey.

Just had to add that veteran Lauren looked great on the field! She's a great performer!

In Kelli's defense, she did tell Dayton that "No one deserves this more than you" at the beginning of her statement I believe. I'll be interested in hearing the full context of it. And Kelli did state during solos that VK would not be favored because of her relationship with her through VK's mother. Now she needs to let her actions back those words up.

Sarah's granny panties in her solo costume bugged me. They made her bottom half look way too big!

Bummed that Maddie had a bit lower kicks, but DAMN if her solo didn't just KILL! She deserved those kudos! Not worried about her.

I just came here to ask if we were sure she wasn't cut?! That was terrible! Vets have been cut before for terrible interviews. Why not her?

One thing I will say about Jeremy is he's the one husband who married into this family who truly seems to respect and treat Jinger as his equal. He was so in awe of her strength in childbirth and gave her so much credit. It was refreshing to see. He at least seems not to be so antiquated as the others. I also love that she's the only one to have had a girl (besides Smuggar) and gave her a decent name.
