Do any of y’all do the NYT Mini Crossword daily? I have a group text with my bestie, our moms, my aunt and her daughter where we share our Wordle results and the mini. Mom and aunt are annoyed at how tough it is today, so I coffee up and jump in. Dying deceased at six and eight across: Thanks, Viv! This moment lives rent free in my head apparently. Had to share here with someone who would appreciate it and not curse my fast time bc of my trivia brain 🤣🤣

I try to just downvote the ridiculous posts on Reddit and engage with the better ones. It’s a great system when it’s used as intended. I like both options since there’s a variety of peeps who follow the older DCCs and post wedding pictures and life updates.

I wasn’t really a big fan in the early days, because WOW her social media was just…no thank you. I didn’t love the comments about her physical appearance, tho, because that’s just not necessary. She has a different look than some but overall is super cute. Plus, she’s an amazing dancer. I know her skills on the dance floor won me over quickly, especially since she had seemed to gain some self awareness about her social media presence. There’s always going to be a part of me that wishes the DCC was 21+ because of the show. For one, it’s awkward AF for all the old men perving on a teenager in a sexy costume, but also to give them a few more years of development to handle the spotlight. When they act like the mentally developing teenagers that they are, having it stuck forever on camera and then broadcast to the world can’t be easy. And that’s unfortunately the price paid for chasing this particular dream and dance job. I enjoyed the show but fully acknowledge that part sucks. Not all of the 18-19 year olds seemed to have issues, but for every Lacey or Maddie there’s probably three Holly, Caila, Marissa, Taylor, etc. I’m beyond thankful those years for me were just before social media took off.

Sure, it’s a great source for food for many, and here in Missouri, I know it helps with over population. But you can see where it’s off-putting for many to scroll through and see a beaming smile next to a dead animal, yes? And I say this from my parent’s rural home where I’ve already seen six deer this morning and there’s plenty of meat in the freezer. It’s never going to not be weird to me to scroll through an instagram full of sparkles, dancing and BAM look what I just killed. At any rate, congrats to the ones that made the team! I know we’re all missing the show.

Overall I totally agree with you, but I think they're just echoing back what she had said in her own post and trying to be encouraging in their own way. Back in the MBTV days someone here would have called out that God was probably in the tub, and He doesn't have time to worry about poms and short shorts. lol. Perspective, some of these gals def don't have any! Whatever brings comfort in a tough situation, I suppose.

If you start telling us you love the FAX song, then we'll know something is truly wrong!

I'm not entirely convinced that website is done by Kalyssa - the photography is good, but it doesn't read like a media package would for photo shoots, social media tie-ins, etc. Some random creeper could have tossed that site together in ten minutes with a google image search and Wordpress. That said, if she is the driver of that site, she's doing it wrong. The text needs to be corrected and edited at the minimum. Nothing wrong with going the glamour/nude photo shoot route, and heaven knows plenty of women are making a ton of money on social media, but this isn't what I typically see when reviewing media/affiliate opportunities.

I absolutely agree with you, but to be fair, I've seen some reeeeeeeal weak dancers on Pro Bowl footage. Sometimes their choreo is truly bad tho, and it's some DCC magic to make it look okay. Kelli's rudeness is ridiculous and petty tho.

First point is Caroline, second point is Kelsey.

They’re AMAZING. Everything about this wedding is so beautiful and looks like an absolute blast. Tons of DCC at the wedding, and Hannah and Jalyn looked oh so fab on either side of Amber for Thunder but they legit all looked amazing. The black and white wedding was gorgeous, loved all the dresses. Amber has been putting her tagged pics in her stories so a good source for now! https://instagram.com/amber.nicolee13?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Looking forward to hearing about your trip! And that’s super fun about getting to see your cousin ❤️

I had bought the season while it was airing, but by the time that episode was released five hours later, I had already read the forum and knew I would be too mad to watch. So I didn't. I forgot about it while I was streaming Pluto int he background this week, so saw the Brennan/Lily/Hannah cuts for the first time and was just so, so annoyed. Tho somewhat less annoyed somehow than when I also saw this week the episode that Jalyn got cut from show group and they were super pissy that she managed to smile through it yet took a moment to herself in the restroom to gain composure before rehearsal. Like hey, she just got fired from a job she really loved, let her take a moment without yelling at her that she's "toxic." She just wanted to cry in peace.

I'm just relieved the commercials have started to get better. I tend to run Pluto for background noise when I'm doing other things, and they used to be positively MADDENING. We aren't in an election cycle now, huge help, but good grief they were so bad. I mean, not bad enough for me to turn on Apple TV and just stream the seasons I've bought. lol. I need to google to see if there's a setting for "play the whole season at once and don't make me touch the remote every 40 minutes, please."

Cute video, @MrsEVH. Perfect half watch/half listen while running Monday recaps at work! Do the Jets' Flight Crew not exist anymore? Off to the google...either that or I missed them entirely. I like the Dallas and Vegas uniforms the most too, but really just seeing all of the variety is fun.

Walking around by The Star really is fun too. I didn't realize how much they'd put into it, I was just meeting a friend at Mi Cocina for some brisket tacos. Lots of Cowboys history, and the field where Amber had her proposal is right there in the open. It's a cool area for any football fan IMO, even if you aren't a Cowboys fan in particular. ETA: @JarlenaFan2023 - I've had really good luck with an app called Hotel Tonight that some of my pilot friends told me about. You can use it in advance, too, but sometimes you can get a luxury hotel on the cheap. Curious if the Anatole is an option! Tons of hotels between Love and The Star, though!
