I am worried about Miranda now. I am hoping that is just a bad picture. She did not look that heavy at swimsuit.
I did not see Daphne, Christina, Jalyn, Gabby, or Briana AT ALL. I love all of them except for Christina.

Can someone tell me what song grandma molasses’s (Miranda) solo song was?
And can she not fall out of her turns ?
I was quite surprised when Miranda made it the first year. I think she flew enough under the radar and isn't it her who's always hunched over when kicking? She's a perfectly nice girl; I am just surprised along with her other issue that she ever made the team and now she's, what, a 3rd year? I mean, she's blending brunette. She could have been easily replaced and I don't think I ever would have missed her.

Kristi comes in clutch, yet again. #firecourtney
The real MVP of DCC auditions is...Kristi Scales.
Y'all can think what you want that VK isn't promised a spot on the team, but I am going to have to side with SS on this. They have been here as long or longer than I have and there's no doubt in my mind that she has a spot. She had one last year, but she assed around and lost it!
Living in Texas 45 years (next month-good Lort, when did that happen?!?!), I don't necessarily think it's the show that causes the dip in people who audition; however, as a person who was going to audition as a "bucket list" item after my strokes, I absolutely wouldn't now due to the mean segments where they play that 1,2,3 turnaround song and show people who are bit "dcc chunky." and not great dancers. I haven't danced in 10 years, but I still have coordination. Could I outdance 18-25 year olds? HELL NO! Again, I am not serious. I just want to do it for fun. That would break my heart. Especially when Charlotte is so rude and catty to women who are older and obviously KNOW they aren't going to make the team.
I think the crowds are smaller because there are enough negative press coming from lack of pay, weight harassment, how controlling they are with schedules, and it's just adding up.
Last thing, my dream triangle. I love Amy. I always have because I have always been a milquetoast wallflower myself. : ) I think it should be Heather, Amy, and Gina in the triangle, but they're all three blondes so I don't know which one gets ousted because I know Maddie will keep her spot. Amy, Maddie, and ???? would be a boring triangle. Make Gina a redhead. Her hair is looking dry. That might help it.
Whew. Okay, sorry for the length. I finally remembered my hummingbird login! yayayayay!

I do too. I know they won't bring him into TC. But after watching how he supported all the girls auditioning last year (whether they made it or not), it would be cool to at least acknowledge him. Plus he's good. I'd rather see him than the lost girls who can't dance or the fact someone peed on the floor.
I actually enjoy watching him dance! He has really long limbs, and his turns are really pretty. Now I know we will never see a male DCC, but he’s such a great dancer!

She obviously had two kids and seems happy, but are there any other cases of former DCCs that have gained weight?
I think she has a chronic illness. I’m not positive, but I saw some spoonie talk on her pics. As a person who’s been sick for 8 years, I get it. I have an two autoimmune diseases( possibly 3) and they’re rough! She seems happy. Hope she is well!

Victoria won’t stick to a 90 day strict diet. She’s not capable of it and my guess is that she like many people uses food to deal with stress. She needs those milkshakes!
I doubt they learned anything from last year. I feel they blamed Kelli.
My sad assessment is that Victoria will never move outside her comfort zone and her super controlling mom won’t allow her, even if she wants to do so. It’s hard to tell how much Victoria does just to please her Mom and how much she does for her own self.
I feel her on the diet thing. I can’t stick to a 9 day diet myself. I like cake, cookies, candy, chips, salsa...I could go on, but now I’m hungry.
one of my friends teaches in an affluent area of DFW (Prosper-it’s near Frisco-like the new Coppell and Highland Park imo) Anyway, the control parents have over their kids lives is astounding. As a child, I was basically left to my own devices at around 8. Babysat my sisters at home by myself. (This was the 80s.) now, these parents are living their dreams through their kids and it’s sad how little choice kids have. Anyway, my kiddos don’t get that here in podunk, Texas as much.
I know she can be extra and annoying, but I also feel sorry for her in a way. Her whole life has been dictated for her. I’d drink milkshakes too.

I can see the spacing issues that people were talking about with Victoria before in that video
I agree. Also she reminds me of Caila. Her dancing is so heavy.
im not meaning in weight. I mean just seems to be weighed down. It’s like I expect dancers to be airy and light and it’s not.

He is soooo good, and if I remember correctly has danced some with the Mavericks dancers. But sadly I don't see him making DCC. He seems like such a sweet guy and was cheering all the girls on during auditions with Stephanie DW.
He was a DCRB and he is damn good! He needs to go to LA. They have male cheerleaders. You know JJ is a misogynist and that won’t happen here. Too bad.

I actually thought Christina did a great job. She was more prepared than those other two ever are!
I wish she could host it. Shannon is awful, and I am not a judgmental person or I try not to be. He does have a fish out of water vibe. Maybe that could be an option if she retires. I mean, I know around 30 is when I started falling apart. That would be a great transition and she could still be involved.

Guys on college cheer teams are still pretty much the norm. I think it's when they become more dance oriented that they start to lose the guys. Some colleges now have both cheer teams & dance teams.
The LA rams have two male cheerleaders. I read the article with my students last week. I’ll have to link it.

Pro Bowl was already chosen. Good on Lacey!
VOTY: I have a sleeper pick in Amy. I absolutely adore her! I think she’s a good dancer, an all around girl next door.
ROTY: I hope it’s Jalyn. She a great dancer, seems like a great girl and another who’s under the radar.

Hi everyone! I haven’t visited in a while. I’m an old schooler.
I never chime in on Cassie drama, but her babies are darling! All these babies are soooo cute. Maybe it’s because I have two grands born 12/22 and 1/23 I just can’t get enough of. It’s so different when you can spoil them and send them home.
I don’t know about Jenna, but I wish her the best. She was immature, but I’d hate to be judged for dumb stuff I did at 23...or even 33 for that matter. Thank goodness for the lack of social media when I was young.
my fave DCC moments. The tin man and poem were iconic. I have actually met Viv in real life, and she’s nice. I feel bad that sticks out.
kitty to Christina: “I’m a stripper; I’m a slut”
kitty’s run in with Katy where she told her she was too tan and looked like a melting chocolate bar. Kitty’s run in with Erica where she told her her hair sucked.
when Jay chastised the slackers during a fitness challenge. (season 5 or 6)
Brooke’s “fat arms”
Meagen F. giving K and J what for, calling them “Dream crushers”, and keeping her dignity! Honestly, she could and should have made it over others in season 5.
brenda going off on Kat about her dress although we’ve seen worse before and since.
holly trying to lie and be remorseful. It was like my 2nd graders. I totally didn’t believe her and can’t believe she thought anyone else bought it.
thats all I’ve got.
4 hours ago, dreamcatcher said:I’m wondering the same with erica. She was no1 in here and suddenly I (felt like) I was the only fan left.
I always liked Erica. I was a huge fan of hers. Until
1. She was very condescending and rude and acted like she left the DCC because of an “injury” rather than not doing her job.
if she had come clean, I would have been fine, but why lie?
2. The lawsuit-not so much the actual reason, of the suit, but why file the lawsuit? Jump straight to a lawyer because you’re mad is what it seemed like to me. Instead of mediation or talking?
it just seemed like bratty, entitled behavior and she lost me.

Def wrong, but I really dont care..
This is a question I want to ask the forum....How many have actually truly...been to a game or performance of the DCC besides the videos that you have watched through youtube and social media? Also, seen these girls in person besides pictures.
I have. I honestly am surprised at how cut throat some people are. I’ve always been nice mainly because seeing I see them in person and out in public, know one of the DCRB personally, one of my friends dates a former DSIG who cheers for another team, and just seeing them on podcasts, commercials, and things makes me realize they are people who have feelings, they are tiny! Like I’m a small person and they make me look like a giant! Calling them huge is ridiculous. Even Victoria is in no way HUGE, she might be 120 pounds maybe, and I weighed that 20 years ago. I just feel like if they are dancing for shitty pay and little perks, we don’t have to rip them to shreds. I’ve never actually disliked any of the DCC. Not even Cassie. I think Sydney’s adorably extra. In the end, it’s my hometown, my team, and my cheerleaders. I might not agree with what happens, but I still love them and always will, ever since I got my blue and silver DCC jacket in 1982. Yep, I’m old.

Always wondered about these outfits. I know they used them for years but why are they different styles? Do the girls get to pick a style or are they assigned one?
They have to assign them because no one would pick those fugly pants! Yuck!

Putting in my vote for Gina at point next year!
Me too! I think she’s pretty, and she’s a great dancer so she has as much shot as anyone. I don’t think she’s anything like the edit she got.

I completely agree with you that Judy probably doesn't get much (or any) say regarding the show/editing/etc. It probably feeds her frustration, to which I'm sympathetic. Her employer made the decision to do it. After 13 years, she knows viewers only get to see small segments of what happens. She knows that viewers are going to form opinions based on those small segments. She's had 13 years to learn how to control her emotional reaction and deal with it in a professional manner. Maybe this season was her breaking point. ??♀️
People get wrapped around the axel 'bout all kinds of things on here depending on their own pet peeves. KaSharas accent, who should be point, Kelli's blue boots (which I freaking loved, btw), the list goes on. And quite frankly, I probably wouldn't have had any reaction to Judys tweet if she hadn't made the couch comment because that happens to be my pet peeve for a variety of reasons.
So again in this instance - and just IMO, which isn't going to change - her ire is misdirected. That's all.
Actually if Judy would have just told everyone who "@'d" her with their anger about the episode to go "F*ck themselves," I might have just laughed. I prefer bluntness over passive aggression. Of course she'd have been put in the social media dungeon for all of eternity. Or maybe the actually dungeon. We'd never see her or her glorious hair again. ?
I'm going to move on from Tweetgate now. To ask why the hell iTunes doesn't have the episode ready for download yet ?.
Yes!! I’m still waiting. Stupid iTunes.

Seriously! She's so over dramatic that I wonder if she has a personality (mental) disorder. And the way her face falls at even the slightest, most carefully stated critique shows she is not used to being criticized, only praised, and she can't handle it. These along with just letting whatever thought pops into her brain fly out of her mouth confirms that she is too i(mmature for any job where she'd be required to speak publicly or have to have a great deal of responsibility. If, when she cuts Victoria, Kelly doesn't give her a stern speech about becoming more mature and controlling her tongue, I'm going to be ticked off. Don't you all wonder what VK and her mother are thinking watching these episodes and seeing her behavior displayed like that for anyone to see on TV? I'd be so ashamed.
Yeah, it's called special snowflake syndrome.

Erica is this month in the sideline wall calendar. Surprisingly. It's hanging up beside me right now.

Dang, I missed out. Neither Adderall nor thyroid meds did anything for my weight, but maybe that was because I actually needed them. On the other hand, caffeine does nothing for me and all those narcotic/opioid pain meds people love & get addicted to (oxycodone, morphine, etc) do nothing for me either (including taking away/dulling pain), so maybe I just have a weird body that doesn't react to those things. ?
Hmm. I have a weird body, too. I'm a steroid non reactor. My body would take 240mg of steroids a day and never get better when I had asthma attacks. It ruined my adrenal glands and now I have Addison's disease. I have to take a specific steroid that isn't a prednisone based.
my body metabolizes medicine really fast. Not food, though unfortunately. I have to take more medicine to get any effect at all. So, painkillers don't work for me either. Lucky us.

After reading some other responses, I figure it might be a height thing. I’m short with a small frame, so an 11 pound weight gain in a month sounds like an enormous amount of weight to me, but I guess for taller people, it’s not that drastic. Add in the binge dieting if that’s what VK is doing, and I guess I can see it even if she has no health issues. The only dieting that has ever worked for me is counting calories/weight watchers type diets. I can cut back on portions, but I just can’t cut out food groups (no keto diet for me), and I’ve never lasted more than a day on a cleanse that didn’t allow me to drink my coffee with cream and truvia in the morning.
ITA. I gained close to 20 pounds when I first got diagnosed and put on steroids with AD-Addison's/adrenal insufficiency. I'm tall with long legs, so it wasn't near as noticeable. I went up two pant sizes.
However, getting that weight off was a struggle for me because I am also hypoglycemic which means no meal replacement shakes, cleanses, fasts, etc.
After 3 years, I lost 8-10 of the 20 and manage to control weight by cutting calories and exercising when I can. I have a slew of health issues.
Thats why it pisses me off to claim health issues for weight when you don't have any. I mean, I love food, and 5 of those pounds is probably just because I like to eat. ?
I think that's why you see the weight more on Maddie, Tasha, and Jessika than you do on Kashara. Vic was just big from the get go.

2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers

nah, dude. That's Jerry Jones face on a lady. Poor thing. 😞 I have nothing against that girl at all. It's just an unfortunate observation.
As far as Victoria, people actually like her? you can't be serious? 😉
Honestly, she reminds me of a very immature teenager...Oh wait...
