The only thing I could think while watching was wondering why Olivia is still with Ethan? He is a man child. Nor even an attractive man child. He offers nothing to their marriage. Nothing. Olivia deserves better. Olivia posted her 130th wedding nearly a year ago. I'm sure she is closer to 200 by now. Destination wedding photographers, if they're good, is actually a pretty in demand business.

So basically Real World with a new name?

It's been a while since I've logged in so let me clarify. It's not that I think Ava is immature or a bad dancer. IMO, she was a little young (especially if she did post a second time because girl...) but she's very talented. And the DCC would be lucky to have her. But she's not VK and a second chance isn't happening. She's the new #MeToo Taylor. She can come back as many times as she wants but Kelly is done with her. Same story, different girl...hence why I said don't come back. She'll continue to be edited in an embarrassing way and Ava doesn't deserve that. Ava deserves better.

Ava is you’re lurking here I hope you find a new dream. They will never, ever bring you back to training camp.

I doubt it. Micah is at an age where he can just pick up and go. He sold his boat so there had to be some premeditation. I think they upped the drama for the show.

Trust me, Moriah’s look isn’t out of place in Tampa. She’ll be fine.

My issue with the Lydia scene is 2 fold. 1. It should have never been filmed. Reality TV can sometimes go deep and uncomfortable and this made me feel like a voyeur. It was too private to film. 2. When religion is used to a tool to control, manipulate and guilt people I become anti-religion. Lydia has been mentally and emotionally abused under the guise of God and religion. That is disgusting. There is no reason why Lydia should have needed to stop texting the boy and for her parents to lead her to a place where she could potentially deny her own feelings because of God is gross. Barry and Kim screwed up with their kids but I’d argue that Lydia has had it the worst. Ethan, Micah and Moriah were able to run and become their own people, meanwhile Lydia is constantly abused and beaten down so badly she doesn’t have the fight to run herself. Lydia’s mental health worries me. A lot.

This, this, so much this! This information was out there, but finding proof and people to talk isn’t always easy. I hope this helps more of his victims come forward.

Isaac wanting to be there to make sure nothing happened and Micah saying "This is what my mom has always done" was the highlights for me because it's not just Ethan and Olivia. These children have been abused because their mother is a narcissist and no narcissist will raise children unscathed.

Olivia has friends but that isn’t the focus of the show. This is very edited and not a total capture of her life.

I think you’re projecting a lot. Olivia is a 21/22 year old child who grew up in a sheltered environment and is trying to create a more normal life for herself and her husband. When someone sets boundaries, that isn’t manipulation. Olivia’s mental health means more than Kim’s inflated ego.

I have been in Olivia’s shoes before. Just knowing someone is there, and worse yet, see them would put me into a full blown panic attack. No amount of logic or trying to put someone else first, is going to overcome that level of anxiety.

This one hit hard. I didn’t see the new about EVC until after I started watching. Then, because I’m weak, I googled halfway through and saw it. Given the circumstances I think they handled it well.

Finding out why VK left is the only reason I'm watching this season. The petty side of me really wants to know.

VK yo-yo'd a lot! Her entire first time in training camp she continued to get bigger and bigger. Not that she's big, but by DCC standards, her stomach was rolling over the shorts. Her first DCC year was the same thing. Another yo-yo. VK and I have very similar builds. The DCC standard is not a reality for us---it's just not. But she was more on the DCC heavy side then the small side for most of her time in the boots.

DCC standards of weight flew out the door when VK made the team.

And, Taylor. For the love, she needs to retire already. Probowl. She hasn't gotten Probowl yet. I'm very happy to have traded in one legacy for a better one. Also, getting rid of VK and Lisa in the same summer makes me irrationally angry. I'll actually watch this season now. Yeah...no. I don't see any rolls. She looks great to me.

Before that drama imploded, they seemed to actually care about good dancers being point. Kashara, while pretty too, had a big pop about her dancing that someone like Holly also has. Then we got stuck with Amy and Maddie---which was like watching paint dry. Holly was far more dynamic.

I'm not defending Holly per say, but just keep in mind that the show is a reality show that is cut and edited for the most drama. We never saw the full sit down; what we did see could have been very different from reality. Hey y'all, been gone for a minute---hello to those I don't recognize, hello again to those I do. Now that VK is no longer a DCC I figured I'd ask here---has it been shared as to why? And what she's up to now?

Why so many? 😭

Even though he’s young, attractive and connected, it’s still very creepy.

Gonna be honest, I dig the show without the Pratt's on it. This past episode made me want more Heidi & Spencer free episodes---not that they had nothing, but they weren't the storyline. The older cast is boring, and not because their lives aren't interesting, but because they're trying to act like they did when they were in their 20's and it's frankly, not believable. Jason's addiction and recovery? Completely relatable. Ashley staying with Jason despite his addiction...capitalize on that. Audrina going out and dating...people we haven't known for over a decade...way more interesting then this Sean dude that is acting like a dude acting badly on a badly scripted reality show. No more Ryan Cabera's...I mean, Sean basically looks like older Ryan however you spell it. Caitlynn moving on and her friend Katelyn...show me more of that. Heidi whining about another baby while shooing her kid off with the nanny, drinking so much her boobs fall out and Spencer eating $100 burritos? Boring as can be. If that is how they actually act?? Fine, whatever, but it's not entertaining...it's sad. It's not even a fun trainwreck, it's just a wreck. Hell, I'd like to see Brody dig into his own messed up childhood to resolve his issues with commitment and date someone normal...someone not Audrina. And Justin Bobby, his commentary is everything. I wouldn't touch the man with a 10 ft pole, but his interviews are at least honest and he has no issues throwing shade where it belongs. And Brandon...dude, get that kid some anger management classes stat. His level of intensity is like Joe from Netflix level and I fear for that girl. But show more of them because at least with cameras rolling we know he can't lock her in a box in the basement of a book store. Okay, I'm done now...sorta, MTV could actually make this a decent reality show but they're focusing on the wrong stuff. And why don't we get more of Frankie? He gets a credit, but zero storyline.

How does a responsible and trained gun owner not know the difference between loaded and not loaded just by the weight when you pick it up?

Wow. I came over to see everyone’s reaction and just realized the show was cancelled. Life has been busy so I’ve been catching everything off the DVR. I’m sad this is over. I don’t know how a show like Bull is still around but this one gets cut. Season 2 may have been hectic and chaotic at times but it was interesting at least.

16? Maybe, 6. Those 16 year olds on Instagram know what they're doing.
