I think it puts the nerves in perspective to know that K&J are at practices more rarely than the show would have us believe. I can imagine how the girls might freeze up on those nights and explains the awkward quiet atmosphere (as I perceive it) when girls are called up in groups to perform a dance and given feedback.

I'm curious about why you think it's confusing? My take on it is that it's really fantastic that the TCC's have the opportunity to settle in to the hectic pace of TC and get a good shot at it. They'd be exposed to a range of the different dances, and every opportunity in the world to get on top of the style.

Clair's photos are stunning. What a photogenic woman! They all did a really great job given that they aren't professional models; there's lots of pics where you can see that the struggle is real. Modelling is way tougher than it looks! There's so many photos of each girl in the mag; no wonder the girls were so excited about the issue!

Love Holly. Love love love. And yes! Neck!

Looks like it's available on the iTunes Store as well - it downloads the mag as an app to your device, and you can purchase issues or a subscription. I haven't purchased yet but I'm tempted - I'm downloading the app right now (...getting sucked into the vortex methinks!) ETA: did it! Can't believe it's available on the Australian iTunes Store; MTT isn't.

Thanks - but it wasn't not knowing how to use them - my icons down the bottom had completely disappeared, there was nothing to click on! Bigskygirl put me in touch with site admin, fixed now!

Thanks Bubbetv. All great ideas and I really appreciate you reaching out to help! I'm on the thread that BSG pointed me to now. It's annoying, but I can still read everything, just can't 'like', quote, or edit my posts. So my apologies to anyone if it looks rude when I don't quote people properly or respond with a like!

Thank you bigskygirl! I'm on the thread you suggested now and will hopefully get some answers there. ?

I've worked out that I can force it to come back if I go through a convoluted process of refreshing and shutting down my browser & turning around three times while holding my breath ? ... if I can be bothered! if anyone has any hints & tips to keep it there permanently, please let me know. I'm using latest iPad & latest iPhone. Thanks for replying & trying to help me out Oranaiche! x

Screenshot of how it comes up for me... :-(

Yes, that's right Oranaiche! ITA the dark hair would frame her features better.

Oh crap, kiss of death, it's gone again!!! I'm trying to upload a screenshot but my resizing efforts aren't working.

I think Emily simply looks her best with her mouth shut instead of hanging open! When she was in training camp last time I'm pretty sure she had dark hair. The crazy cat lady face is what sent her home along with her dancing. I hope her dancing has improved enough to at least give her a decent shot, and surely the kicks are easily remedied - but if she's still as bad as Txstar35 observed, girl won't last long.

And omg YASSSS they're appearing for me on every thread now! Thank you if a mod stepped in and did something, it was like my site access was restricted or something, or at the very least not displaying properly. x

Thanks Oranaiche - those buttons haven't been appearing for me! In a strange twist of fate, they came up today in this thread, so I hope they're here to stay....

? Are you on the scene Txstar35? What is the consensus so far?

Forgive me if I'm asking silly questions, but I can't figure out how to use this forum and I'm hoping for some pointers? One thread, but not others, used to come up with buttons down the bottom of each post such as 'like' etc - now it won't, and I can't figure out how to quote an actual person, edit my posts, or anything! I'm using iPad/iPhone - is there a setting that I need to turn on to get that functionality? What am I doing wrong?

I can't see it very well - looks like Danielle? Correct me...?

Hahahahaaaaa you KNOW we're going to be reading into pretty much everything you say TX! thanks for clarifying :-) Sorry if you perceive that I took liberties with your words!

Txstar35 - ? Madeleine - ITA with Razzleberry - go get it Madeleine! Perhaps Madeleine is the ultimate 'take home girl' - a year and she's really got it together in every way. I hope her transformation really reads on film and that she's featured on MTT, perhaps she'll even be K&J's darling this year. Holly - love that girl, I'm glad the inside info confirms she's not the punish some are reading into her behaviour. Emily - oooh could she be this year's 'brought in for drama' candidate? Given the potential all-round dislike, could she have won the fan vote? (I wasn't following the YBTJ, not sure if it's a possibility). Has Emily just not been paying attention to the multiple-time TCC tragedies and how vulnerable she may still be? In answer to the poster who wondered what her disconnect is about, I get lots of vibes of a raging personality issue from her. This could all be juicy viewing...

Such a marathon read catching up on all the posts! Interesting to have TXSTAR35's input and please keep us up to date!!!!

I think it's not so much the use of the word 'sucks' which makes it trashy, it's the petulant sulky teenage face that usually accompanied it. I've got no problem with the word, but attitude like that is not generally seen in a model DCC...

If you make statements on a public social media account, you are fair game for discussion and dissection. I think people here have been on topic and generally respectful. If you make on-the-face-of-it contradictory statements that have caused subsequent embarrassment when people have called it out, that's just life. Sounds like she/DCC definitely reads this board, that the above statement has come from her/DCC, and maybe someone has learned a lesson.

I feel like we all sound very mean, and I'd hate for Sam/friends to stumble in on this debate. Without a doubt Sam is adorable and a gorgeous young girl with the world at her feet. But. DCC ready? Nup. I think Sleepyjean hit the nail absolutely on the head. If Sam truly wanted this for herself, she'd be on point already. I hope she doesn't do a half-assed tryout. That'd be painful to watch. I already feel for her that she's publicly expressed her DCC dreams and wish her a gracious path, whatever she decides to commit to. (And I'd so love it if she comes out and kills it in the end!)

Oh dear :-( She has her work cut out for her. CMT will love it for ratings, but if cooler heads don't prevail, Sam will get eaten alive.
