Nope. This is 13 seasons now. They give the girls media training and it’s a big part of the job to handle everything with tact. Judy knows very well not to bite. I’ve been there, deserved it less and copped FAR worse, and managed to keep my mouth shut and be gracious. Judy - sit the f down and be grateful for your platform

STILL no iTunes .... dying

Eeek ... I don’t think I will then haha I generally don’t like the DCC swim pics at all. The only pic I have liked is Holly P in front of the surfboard... girl looked strong and in charge - a whole different feel. The other pics usually look too much like playing coy and ... approval seeking (?) What is fine and dandy in the dance world is a bit different than what I usually see though. Dayton’s pic is a bit too much for me but I’m glad she has your support @ShellyB. You have to use it and work it when you have it, and that’s how you land jobs I guess - you’ve got to get noticed! Dayton has worked hard for her amazing bum, and looks great, and can show it off however she likes.... but still, I will just avert my gaze for a moment haha

Interesting theory. VK’s excess weight at Cameos was unforgivable - surely her cut should have happened immediately after the cameo shoot but in real life it probably didn’t; perhaps putting cameos in episode 11 rather than ep 10 gives slightly more “face validity” to K&J keeping her so long afterwards. Anyone else looking like that would have been cut then and there in the studio

PLEASE tell me you asked them about #metoo and flag football!!!!!!

Belly dancing?

I’m hoping for interpretative dance - specifically, an over-wrought lyrical gyration on top of K&J’s conference table in the office

She really is an exceptionally pretty girl in many ways... and has probably, unfortunately, believed too much in her own publicity.

I just wanna say, I’m definitely an equal opportunity snarker Comedy gold indeed! Yup Going there and no pearl clutching required lol

Icktoria was in group 1, Lacey’s group IIRC. Kash is the group 2 leader.

Observation of the day! i can’t wait to watch... have to wait for iTunes....

Several girls suffered heavy critiques? ouch... was not loving that moment when Tara stood out in a bad way. K&J don’t look like they’re going to let that slide. are they projecting their frustration with VK onto everyone else maybe??

I thought the exact same thing about the second top row.

HAHA! One time in high school, I was so confused about why people were going on and on about “Youth In Asia” issues in a particular class I had. The teacher was so incredibly boring and it all seemed so irrelevant... I switched off and didn’t see why anyone needed to take a position on it. It wasn’t until years later that it dawned on me that they were talking about Euthanasia :-/ (For perspective... 20 years later I have an honours degree, two doctoral degrees and teach third year undergrads at university... lol)

Thanks for seeing the spirit in my post... I went to delete it thinking that it was just not going to be helpful lol! You’re totally correct about the alienation of fans issue. It really became a problem when the pics went public; it was a private party, and people didn’t have as much awareness back then that what happens in private doesn’t always stay that way - things that touch on a hot button issue will totally go viral and the meaning can change completely. Nowadays people are so much more aware on several fronts - but I believe that’s why Kelli focussed on the ‘social media/things go viral’ part of the issue rather than touching on why blackface is not ok in current society. I don’t live in the USA so these conversations are such a curiosity to me. It isn’t seen quite the same way globally - but of course, in the American market in which DCC are situated, more sensitivity was most definitely required.

Yes. If they want to keep the DCC going - they should get real already and pay them a proper entertainment professional’s wage to legitimise the whole transaction. I don’t care for the argument that they can only be paid for what they specifically “bring in” - they add something to the entire organisation as a whole (and don’t they harp on that side of things about how important the DCC is to the organisation?) and provide pageantry and all the rest. Just pay them properly and be done with it.

True. I found it easy to ignore her (KD) for that reason. Ick doesn’t seem particularly phony to me - more incredibly rude and entitled... and that gets under my skin. Lol.

Nah - really?? I see VK and KD as being in completely different boats: I wasn’t particularly irritated by KD. Icky is a whole different level of entitled and unprofessional than we’ve ever seen before, and don’t get me started on that unkempt tangled mop on her head! KD may have been overly emotional and subsequently overreactive to people’s opinions of her, but she never crossed boundaries of appropriate conduct quite like the Ick does every 2 seconds...

YAAAASSSS girl!

Yes, it’s hard to know how much Charlotte stops by to watch the cheerleaders through TC. All we have is several episodes back - Charlotte icing out our hero, Scott the weatherman. We can only guess at the behind-the-scenes silliness that prejudiced Charlotte to her raptures over the Ick back at the start.

And let’s face it... Icktoria is the gift that keeps on giving. If you were a producer you would be following her around like glue wouldn’t you?? You know you’re guaranteed to get cracking footage of her behaving outrageously, and she is either too stupid or too immature or both to realise how it comes across. Perhaps the heavy camera time did nothing but confirm to her how “special” she was, only to reinforce her entitlement. I have no doubt that the production crew shamelessly played to her ego and she fell for it. And let’s not pretend that we’re not all secretly living for the disgraceful spectacle she is making of herself.

And who can forget Brenda’s tears. Probably another yes there. I thought one of the guest choreographers loved her too (forget his name) but perhaps not given the lack of sticker from him !

I’m getting really sick and tired of seeing Icktoria’s apron flapping about when she dances. The weight gain appears to be affecting her dance - it looks like she is attempting to hide it or limit the jiggle by dancing small. Her attitude is an absolute disgrace - how is she STILL there?

100% we literally just saw the moment when it first crossed Icktoria’s mind that her perceived guaranteed “in” was crumbling. And it was Glory.
