(I forget her name but I loved her) the retired DCC with dark/black hair that came in with the retired vets to critic the girls. She was always paying attention to those details.
Ashton Torres? I loved her too.

Jenna is such a whiner. She's lucky to still be on the squad. When she said she congratulated Kashara that made the hug look even more self serving. I believe the text is a big deal. When you're in trouble at work, you try to fly under the radar but shine when you're being observed. Make no waves. Professionalism 101
EXACTLY. When you’ve stepped in it with management, keep your head down and let your hard work and humility do the talking. Jenna was sunk by her own immaturity and self-centeredness.

Agreed. I like Kashara but to me Jenna is a better dancer and performer (personal life aside). So, if not Jenna then Lacey should of been point IMO.
I'm curious - for everyone who thinks Lacey should've been selected for point, why would K&J pass her over if she's so obviously the better choice? I'm not trying to put down Lacey's abilities; but to put Kashara down as only the 'backup' is insulting not only to Kashara but also to K&J's judgement. They could've moved Lacey to point, they chose not to. I think everyone has different criteria for assessing which dancer should be (deserves to be?) point, but the only criteria that matters is K&J's. So by that definition, Kashara is not a 'backup.' By virtue of being chosen by K&J, she should be/is the right person for point right now.

I think Kelli & Judy called her the next morning & said- "we thought about this matter - no reason to drag it out --last night was your last"
Also agree with this. I've been wondering if there was also an aspect of the situation that reminded me of how it went down when Kelli cut Chelsea: that night after Kitty told them Chelsea was being 'toxic' and K&J called her back in to the office, for some reason they werent ready to cut her on the spot. However by the next practice you could see they'd changed their minds and were done with her. I'd speculated at the time that after the incident they'd seen the raw footage (or someone told them specifically) of Chelsea's sarcastic comments in the parking lot to the cameras and the rest of the TCCs, 'the fatties are still on the team' which signed her release warrant. She was so fake with them in the office and it was obvious her behavior in the parking lot was the 'real' Chelsea.
This time with Holly, I was also surprised they didn't cut her on the spot since Kelli seemed teetering in that direction.. but if she saw the footage of Holly after the office visit saying of her bad decision(s), 'but it was fun,' then I would think that was enough to sink Holly through the 'razor-thin shaved ice' Kelli told her she was on. Pretty obvious the 'real' Holly had just revealed that no, she couldn't be trusted.

It's so interesting to me that neither girl was cut. Both had flagrant contract violations, but no cuts. Just punishment.
I suspect it was more a testament to how weak this year's team is. Just not enough seasoned decent vets left on the team to step up/in to fill the void. Why else would you allow two repeat-offender troublemakers - who also happen to be 2 of the best dancers by far - to stay?

Jenna is the bus. She did exactly what Holly did and blamed it on Holly. Seems like Kelli was referencing "locker room" chat.
I do not like Jinelle anymore. She was smiling when she got up.
And I do like how K&J handled the situation. I want to give Kelli a hug. You could tell it was hard for her.
I like Jinelle same as always. Since I have absolutely no idea what she was thinking about - plus she wasn't the only one who smiled as soon as theyre dismissed - I'm not going to jump to any conclusions speculating about whether there were nefarious undertones associated with her smile.

there's something off with this photo...it looks super crowded and just awkward. usually it at least appears well laid out, but this just looks like zero thought went into it at all. there are weird gaps in rows, then some girs are too close together, it's just ugly. no doubt in the episode K&J (predominantly K) will wax lyrical about how much thought goes into it and how stressful it is blah blah blah but if this is the end result it looks ore like they just had the girls arrange themselves.
"a beautiful bouquet of flowers" ....

Lol - Alexandria probably thinking in her head "omg - are these people for real?, I get it, they don't like my lashes, but did she really just say a lash 911? Maybe I should get the hell out of this bizarro sorority and go back home before I go insane?"...
It's that kind of scene that for people who don't watch the show but catch it while randomly channel surfing....well, it looks a tad silly. No, it looks a tad silly to us devotees; so it likely looks totally ridiculous to passers by. There's a lot of scenes like that in this show. But we live for those, right?!
Sometimes I think it would be fun to have the characters from Mystery Science Theater 3000 narrate episodes of the show...

Alexandria is good but I get what they are saying about her aesthetic being off. The thing is though that is a DCC makeover FAIL because they could have done something more with her particularly HAIR COLOR to make her eyes hair skin tone and makeup harmonize better. I wonder if a future episode will include her lash emergency appointment as a paid placement for their "DCC lash partner".
Kelli - "We've sent them an email and said we have a 'lash 911.' Those people are standing by to help you." (emphasis mine)
Alexandria to Lash Loung stat! Get the crash cart! Lash melting in 3, 2, 1...clear!!

Gina's (paraphrasing) "I'm used to this, when I took dance in the past girls were jealous of me" certainly was lame, but in a later talking head, Kelli sure seemed to buy into it!
1 hour ago, SunshineSally said:Ugh, same thought. Kelli, everyone but you sees this girl is arrogant, shallow and self absorbed. You worried she might be "toxic," then gave her a pass to keep being toxic??? Way to drink the look-aid. You're creating a monster.
I can see how K&J didn't immediately agree Gina was a 'problem' that needed to be more strongly 'addressed' at this point.
I was glad K&J didnt automatically believe second-hand information from Kitty without seeking follow up information from Lacey and Robin. But then although Lacey and Robin (based on what was shown) acknowledged there were situations where Gina likely rubbed her fellow TCC's the wrong way, they didn't give Kelli a totally damning report; Robin even qualified her observation by giving Gina the benefit of the doubt noting that 'I'm not even sure [Gina] realizes what she's doing' ...
I also was thinking about how Kelli handled Ashley Pro when she told her how some of Ashley's references from other dance teams had said negative things about Ashley's attitude. Even though in contrast to Gina, Ashley had strong support from her group leader (Emma?), Kelli also told Ashley that she (K) knew what it was like to be 'misunderstood' because K had also had people misunderstand her as well.
Maybe K&J are giving Gina more of a benefit of the doubt for the moment (without more evidence) because they've both had firsthand experience with people misjudging them...? Maybe once Kelli was that 'misunderstood' seemingly arrogant dancer among her peers!? ?

Me too! I thought Lauren was funny when she said the Etiquette Mistress (forgot her name) caught her 'shoveling bread.' I really like Lauren.

Also, Kelly and Judy wouldn't take away point from Kashara as long as she's on the team and in good standing, not this season and not next. If she's stepped up to leadership and performed to such high demands in a difficult period, they wouldn't "demote" her by putting anyone else at point. I do feel rather sad for Lacey for getting skipped over in all of this, though.
I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but I never thought Lacey was right for point based on her dance style (not technical ability), but that's a different discussion.. Having said that, however, she's also never struck me as having leadership potential where the entire team is concerned. It seems me like we've seen very little of Lacey on the show in terms of getting to know her; i.e. no backstories (that I remember) or one-on-one TH interviews (other than when she kicked her nose during her rookie year audition). The show also doesn't seem to zoom in and highlight her dancing as much as I'd expect; heck even Jinelle has gotten more air time. But maybe Im just not remembering because Lacey hasn't been as memorable as others others.
Also, although she is a group leader this year, I wasn't impressed with how she presented herself when she and Robin were called in by Kelli to discuss Gina's behavior. Very low energy, almost disinterested.. whereas Robin seemed attentive and a much better communicator. It made Lacey come off to me as not as mature as I'd expected. Lacey has flown under the radar on the show - maybe by her own request - but for me as a viewer that has meant I'd never have even thought of her for either point or a team-wide leadership role.

A spaghetti strap top with a wide brown belt and a white, short mini. Definitely a fashion don't?
I could've sworn she wore that white mini skirt to her first panel interview too, but I might be getting it confused with the TC orientation scene. Regardless, she definitely did not start out looking very polished. Hopefully that changed over the years..

I must be the only one that thought that dance party scene was extremely awkward.
I just imagine being in this high pressure situation like that, where you are trying to perform your best and please these extremely judgemental people - who can literally fire you, or the girl next to you in a couple hours - and here they want you dance around all crazy and "have fun" - while they sit and judge you deciding your fate? I just don't think I could really let lose in such a situation (not until I knew I made the team) and it would just be another one of those situations where I'd be doing what I think they *want* me to do. I just thought it was awkward.
You're not the only one! I thought it was awkward too. Half of them (mostly vets) seemed to be more relaxed and actually free-styling it and having fun while the other half (mostly rookie candidates) were not as natural with some of them even performing snippets/moves from their canned routines. And I think you're right about why; the rookie candidates are more nervous about how they are viewed all of the time while the vets don't carry that same anxiety around with them constantly.

An executive producer makes sure that a project is on time and on (or under) budget. Not really a ringing editorial endorsement.
I think Kelli (or the DCC) plays a role in deleted scenes AFTER a show has aired ie: releasing Veterans for weight and a few of the scenes in season 7. But something about the way this show, and most reality, is put together tells me that she’s seeing this for the first time as it airs.
I have a hard time imagining that Charlotte, 'Chief Brand Officer,' doesn't at least have some level of editorial control on what does/does not get aired.. but I obviously have no idea how the whole process actually works.

I've said this before ...the editing of this show is a train wreck! It's mind boggling to me these editors still have a job. Keyra not making showgroup is a perfect example of the editors not following basic storytelling rules. We are presented with a character to root for . She's likable, she's presented as an incredible dancer. We see nothing but good things said about her. She's literally every guest choreographer's favorite. She's shown in her interview saying she hopes to make show group ( for those suggesting she asked not to be considered ) . Kitty even calls her out as one of only 3 girls that killed it at show group auditions. As an audience, we are all rooting for her....she doesn't make it. We are not told why and the story falls flat and we're all like wtf? (Same thing happened with Kaitlyn(?) ...dark haired awesome dancer that didn't make training camp).
Classic bad storytelling/ editing. Shelly, be a doll and suggest to Charlotte they renegotiate next seasons show to get some world class editors that know how to tell a story. These guys are total amateurs.
Totally agree. I just re-watched the audition episodes where the judges (that they showed on camera) who spoke up on Kaitlyn agreed she was a great dancer albeit in need of a makeover (Like Maddy the first year she tried out but still made TC). There was no foreshadowing in the finals' deliberations that K/J/C might not have agreed and therefore would've made it not such a surprise when Kaitlyn didn't make training camp. Same goes for the deliberations on why Keyra wasn't chosen for Show Group. In other cases they have shown such comments- mainly from Kelli- that planted that seed making what followed (i.e. a dancer not being chosen in spite of all the accolades the dancer received) somewhat more believable and therefore more of a satisfying (for lack of a better word) end to that story arc.
Whatever the reasons for these non-selection decisions - unattractive/controversial rationale such as some of the theories discussed in this thread which would put K J or C in a bad light; or more palatable explanations (e.g. Keyra was acknowledged during deliberations as having had generally a great SG audition except her kicks were still not good enough to push her into the top 16, just as a hypothetical example), then that may not have tripped me up so much.
I don't know who made the decision to edit these stories - maybe it was Kelli herself. Nonetheless the glaring absence of any attempt to provide any type of balancing counter-arguments/explanations for these non-selection decisions grabbed my attention as well as it did for others. It's no wonder these decisions have inspired the unflattering speculation(s) they have on what the 'true' motivation might have been.

Danielle did finally start parting her hair in the middle.
Yeah..I just still wished they'd done something more striking with her makeover, like cut a significant amount off and/or changed the style. For me, I thought it was too long and actually dated her; not to mention distracted attention away from her pretty face (which was the main thing she had going for her). And her hair wasn't all that pretty to begin with (again, IMO). But I think she thought it was her crowning glory based on how she liked to frequently toss it over her head for maximum attention..and since she was one of Kelli's favorites I expect she got more leeway on getting/keeping what she wanted.

Wow. Other than being a bit tooth-y and big mouthed, I thought Trisha was a cute girl...in an aardvark kind of way. No shade. But I don't think she was scary or unfortunate looking.
Lol -- I had to go and look up what an aardvark looks like...
As I said I knew this would likely be an unpopular opinion with many folks. I do remember that Trisha was well-liked and highly regarded by Kelli. And I'm sure my opinions on who I think was/is attractive certainly also differ from many of you. Apologies if my comment on her was too harsh!

S12.E11: Hall of Fame Week
in S12
I agree with all of this; very well said. I don’t see anything inappropriate in what Shelly did or how Judy and Kelly responded, including reading Jenna’s message back to her verbatim. But then again, I’m one of those women in her ripe old 50s so I may be missing something...
