A couple that come to my mind are Melissa W and Maggie R for well-spoken women. If too far back then Christina, Lauren and Alexis.
I wouldn’t call Alexis well spoken, and I definitely put her in the airhead category after that weird tik tok with VK, but ymmv. Still, it’s not like they ever had multiple girls on the team who are both well spoken and genuine. That’s what I meant -For example, we can all agree Rachel id well spoken and knows what to say, but she seems robotic to most of us so i wouldn’t put her in the “well spoken” category

It was hacked. It’s now called ceoxmami and claims to be a graphic designer.

True🤣and it’s still more classy than heavily editing scenes to the point no one can follow Kelli’s supposed conversations with the girls in order to create drama.

Did we know that Rachel A had COVID weeks ago? I didn’t but that doesn’t mean you all didn’t! Her Instagram says 6 weeks later and still no sense of smell. Had you all flagged that she missed any games? Or maybe with away games, etc. she didn’t miss any.
Honestly, how did she not infect anyone else? They are practicing everyday, so she most certainly went into practice before she had a chance to get tested/be alarmed.

also lol if a 4 year vet doesn't know this stuff/close to it enough by now
Considering they are legit doing the same dances again and again, the fact that she was messing up even in year 2 is just beyond me, but year at year 4 it’s just inexcusable.

I will never understand how she made triangle. GL eh, there was no other option literally. But we could’ve had Bridget or Heather up there...or any other girl really.
On 12/18/2020 at 7:05 AM, kalibean said:There was for sure some hijinks in the Tara editing...but honestly, she looked to me like she was struggling. I was never a big Tara fan from her rookie year...short legs, blender, etc. But I liked her personality and she definitely had an approachable, sporty cute vibe. I love peeps like this on the squad, alongside the glam girls, super athletic/buff, etc.
But she looked run down to me for her veteran camp, starting with the swimsuit photo shoot and her office visits. Seemed like more of an outside of DCC, real life issues she wasn't able to work through while sparkling for the DCC. So while upset for her and her teammates as she seemed much beloved, it didn't seem like she needed to be on the squad that year.
I actually disagree... She said in her last office visit that she was getting praise for her improvement and her cut was most certainly an effort from Kelli’s side to keep our beloved (in her mind) trainwreck on the team. It was obvious she was dealing with something bigger than “makeover is needed stat”, so you don’t kick someone while not only are they down, but they are actively working on it and improving. And don’t tell me that glamming up an obviously sad girl who can still perform is more difficult than hiding VK’s belly. At the very least, Tara shouldn’t have been cut before VK.

Yeah and I definitely get it: why would she argue? It’s easy money for her by this point, so she just needs to keep her mouth shut for a few more years and then happily retire.
15 hours ago, hypeman said:Why are so many excuses being made for Brennan? Every step must have been a grand conspiracy against her or bad editing.
I, personally, found the "Wash your hands" face mask obnoxious.
I'm a mask wearer and hand washer, but that mask is the definition of classlessness and tackiness.
Also her IG post was BS. I hate anyone playing the victim. Making vague IG posts is not bold or world class (Hannah too).
She barely made the team and if she displayed any sort of attitude she was gone.
She was a blender and only had the DCC look if you squinted really hard. This was not a difficult cut.
There are several mature, well-spoken women on the team. She didn't bring some special quality that made her indispensable.
I know Brennan has many fans, but I'm just going to call it as I see it.
I think it’s a bit of a strong reaction, but we’re all entitled to our opinions. While Brennan isn’t your typical DCC, I’d argue she looks more like a dcc than Amy, Maddie, Marissa, kelli and other girls that made the team and well, even point. When you place two of your more underwhelming and uhm, un-dcc looking girls at point, you don’t get to cut vets for their looks.
As for her dancing, she got enough praise for her actual skills and performance and was told her only issue was during tc and letting her nerves get to her. Look through any of her clips and you won’t find a mistake -while Meredith really was a trainwreck, Savvanah (a 4th year) is still making mistakes, GL and somehow included in the triangle Tess messed up during thunderstruck, same with VK. If all these girls are still on the team, cutting a “blender” is again inexcusable.
And also, I’d like to bring this up once again: it’s a team of 36 (-ish), the girls HAVE to blend in. You can’t have 36 Ginas competing against each other and even holly was toning it down during thunderstruck to blend in with the team. Kelli has been using this almost as an insult, but what the correct term would be is probably boring, not blender.
And last thing: if anyone can bring up a few examples of well spoken girls from the past few years, I’d be grateful. Most of them sound like airheads when they talk, or robots, or completely boring, or overly excited (tried to be nice here) or or or. As much as Kelli is trying to convince us that dccs are rocket scientists with a passion for dance, these girls are actually the exception not the norm.
One last thing, I’m dying that Kat’s stories saw the girls wearing face masks to set up the “surprise”... then tess and maddie get photographed not wearing a mask.

Also to keep this more about the current social media faux pas, I’m wondering why whoever hacked into VK’s insta just deleted everything and changed the name. In any case, I may not like her but I feel sorry for her.

I'm thinking she was punished for going against a directive--don't take nude photos on your phone.
Well it could be that it was her facebook or whatever that got hacked and she was afraid they found photos to send her long distance boyfriend or whatever. I doubt someone hacked her phone, found the pictures and then said eh never mind i’m not gonna use them.
And I’m sorry but when Kelli is ok with the girls acting like strippers for the swimsuit, the random catwalks and the legit stripperish SG number, but the hard line is drawn on their private pictures that no one will probably see or care about. And well no offense, but based on what Kelli considers to be their fan base, they would probably be more than ok with leaked nudes. I personally think that we follow dcc more religiously than the creepy dudes but Kelli disagrees.

I agree. VK is coming.
In my humble opinion the point girl MUST be photogenic, so my first list is a reflection of this. What my list also illustrated (I hope) is that the rookies generated a big influx of glamour girls.
If we account for East Texas bad decision making, the real list is a list of potentials, girls that are still in the running towards becoming a point girl.
Caroline Sundvold was almost getting there, but Rachel Wyatt's ascension to point diminished her chances considerable, unless, Rachel Wyatt indicated she would be leaving the team next year. Then Caroline is still a big candidate for next year.
If we include VK in this discussion, we must take into consideration that her impending inherited point position could only be outlived by Armani, Claire, Dani, Elli, Jessica or McKenzie.
VK's point position would bring an end to my big dream: Amanda as point. ROTY Kelcey would also be leaving the team without fulfilling her potential if VK does what she is being set up for. I am almost tempted into shifting all of my hopes and dreams towards Dani McGinnis from Puyallup, WA., who is really fabulous.

On 12/12/2020 at 6:57 PM, DCCFan197605 said:Good analysis here. I just wonder how anyone beats Sydney Durso’s 7-year modern era record, especially if you’re point at year 3 or 4. Lacey would have clearly been able to spend ten years on the squad if she had wanted. She would’ve been the logical point at year 6. Maybe she could’ve kept it a couple years (6, 7). What happens in year 8?
Put another way, what guidance do K & J give? We know they blindside the ladies with Show Group selection and demotion (Jalyn). From the commentary here, it seems like during year-end evaluations K&J indicate what a veteran’s next year prospects look like. I guess this issue hasn’t come up. Most ladies check all of the boxes (SG, GL, PBC, VOTY, 5-year ring, Point) and go on their way.
The Amy/Maddie years were just an indication of how limited the 3 year plus pool was. And to your point, triangle section 1 is tiny . It makes little sense to put a lady up there for a few seconds and act like she’s point. So, what happens to Maddie next year? The year after? Especially, being a fan favorite. I have to assume it would be time to move Maddie back.
Well, maybe they don’t want to give these opportunities to deserving girls with less seasons under their belts to kinda force them to come back. But that’s how you lose the opportunity to put a star like Bridget upfront before they retire. Sorry not sorry, but no sane person would put Lexie, Amy, Maddie or Tess up there ahead of Bridget if you consider talent and potential only and not seniority. Savannah is one of the most senior girls atm, that doesn’t make her point or triangle material.
But I also think that they haven’t faces this issue because the star girls either get the good stuff quickly and then they retire, or they retire after 2-3 years and go on bigger things. Then some blenders may stay for longer (Sydney never got much attention so they didn’t need to force her out) but they always risk getting cut in favor of a strong rookie. Then Jenna came back for a 6th year just to get pbc and point. Lacey could have done the same but by her 5th year she has been a leader for 3 years and pbc, plus I suppose it was her time to get married.
On 12/12/2020 at 9:21 PM, DCCFan2021 said:I really don't get why she's so far back in both the triangle and the team photo. She's proven herself to be a very solid and reliable performer - not sure if she's got the technique for SG (although recent additions are questionable as well) but she got called out for power her rookie year by Travis Wall and by Kelly opening week her second year. She's also a locker room favorite, and was shown doing outside-the-studio stuff with two rookies last year on the show, so she's clearly a people person. So why is she being treated like a rookie?
Yeah and I recall during the GL meeting that she was called out as someone who never makes mistakes. As a rookie candidate. So it’s not about her dancing, definitely not about her being an ambassador risk... maybe she doesn’t suck up to VK? Juuuust kidding.
16 hours ago, lexie3248 said:I agree with your point but I also think Kelli just takes whatever issue or complaint or any criticism and makes it about her or the team specifically or just misinterprets any comment that isn’t a “Yes, ma’am”. I can never get over how she misinterpreted Shaina’s comment about her saying “God was putting a roadblock” and Kelli (COMPLETELY forgetting that the girl was grieving and going through a rough time mentally) made that comment about her almost to justify Shaina’s cut more.
Hannah and Brennan had an issue of how things were being done has nothing to do how they were as an organization and directors but they had to take it too personally and cut Brennen and Hannah. Knowing how well spoken they are, I’m sure they weren’t bashing Kelli or Judy or The DCC as a whole. Even with Shannan’s cut just cause she wasn’t bawling her eyes out or trying to convince Judy or Kelli to keep her doesn’t mean she thought any less of being a DCC.
Which is funny because the girls didn’t speak up for themselves only. If you’re as selfish as someone like Kelli (sorry not sorry) you just focus on what you can do to protect yourself. They tried to support their team and protect their community so it makes even less sense if you see it that way.

Yeah I'm not watching this year because #stillnotoverit.
I’m with you on that one. And everytime I think about it I get even more upset -how is that even a good excuse for cutting Hannah? It’s like kelli would rather admit that she’s such an idiot she put twice Hanna on SG, as a rookie too, even though she’s a weak dancer....than accepting that people are allowed to have opinions? Especially when said opinions are objectively correct?

Ok Brianna is stunning but but but... That suit is awful and well it looks inappropriate to me, especially when her boobs are ready to make a surprise appearance. When I think how Kelli treated Heather for being victimized when she’s more than happy to treat the girls like playboy bunnies if that generates more income for her I get sooo mad. No one is expecting these girls to be saints, so quit the act ma’am.
10 hours ago, BunnyHop96 said:I know there's been mention of how a lot of the time that "classic" DCC styling seriously ages some if not most of the girls, and I was bored and browsing some of the girls Instas, and just, I can't even believe I'm doing this b/c I'm NOT a VK fan at ALL, BUT, look how much PRETTIER she is in this video! https://www.instagram.com/p/CCzkuOiJQWt/
The lack of heavy eye makeup and no ghastly pink lip makes her look like the gorgeous young woman she could be. She actually looks her age instead of a young girl trying to play dress up. I'd much rather see this natural look from her while in uniform than what she currently does, it's so much more flattering to her. Cut down on the teasing/extensions, add a little leave in conditioner (lol) and ladies and gents we might have a winner.
Also, Amanda's hair being straight in her most recent Insta post almost made me think it was a different person. Really glad she curls it the way she does for performance b/c it does make her stand out so much more than just being another "southern belle" cookie cutter blonde with either straight hair or those big curling iron/hot roller waves
So uhm I know it’s not the point of the video but I just can’t with her mouth. Especially in this video it looks like she’s breathing through her mouth and that’s seriously not healthy.
And also it’s painful to watch her try ballroom with these jarring arm movements but I’ve already commented on that video when she first posted it, I need to calm down already lol😂

Yep I had posted 2-3 pictures from her insta at some point ( I ain’t going through all her posts again to find them) and it appears VK had paid good money to take classes from him. No wonder she would get some praise from him. Still, we all know it was Amanda he was complimenting last season, they can give the “vk is god’s gift to dance” a rest.
2 hours ago, Jazzhands said:I’m tall with really long legs, and when I was on drill team in high school and college, I was always instructed to kick flat while the other girls were on releve because it made the kick heights more uniform. I’ve noticed Tess’s flat-footed kicks in the past and wondered if she might’ve been instructed similarly.
Yes for Tess it makes sense. She is the tallest on the team and she can absolutely kick high and well even flat-footed. And yes I know VK is the same height, but she can’t kick like that so a. She doesn’t look uniform anyway b. She’s risking a major injury

That’s an interesting question... uhm I don’t know... I did wonder whether Kash retired after 4 years because she had been point for 2 years. Has anyone ever done 3?
as for politely demoted: I kinda feel it happened to Maddie going from point 2 to point 1, which is a lot shorter and less spectacular (my opinion)dance-wise.
I don’t think they’ve used someone with less than 3 years before, which would practically mean someone fresh out of their rookie year would be leading the team next season. So I don’t think they will ever have that issue as especially lately, point girl gets everything else as well: GL, PBC, VOTY, maybe even calendar. So kashara got pbc in her third year and still came back for a 4th for example, why would she come back other than getting the 5 year ring and status? Maybe if she didn’t struggle with weight she would’ve come back.
Also, I don’t consider what happened to Maddie a demotion, Amy got the same part last season and still was the one that was highlighted as an official point.

* are a teensy-weensy of a dance risk, however we shouldn't overestimate the dance aspect
Ok Alora is shown as struggling and Savanah has been struggling since day1. How would either end up in the triangle, let alone point? other than that, I agree they have more choices now than in the last two seasons. But Jalyn is in the doghouse, Rachel A wasn’t selected for a GL position so no way she would suddenly get point, Lexie wasn’t promoted to point this season so she ain’t getting it, Kristin isn’t that good and Cici was cut from SG so no way kelli is considering her for point.
And well, while I’ve loved these discussions in the past, considering that we all know the next blonde at point will be “the bull in china, beautiful tornado or most commonly known as ms horsemouth”, seeing a list of all deserving girls who will never get their chance is making this even harder to swallow.

I rarely comment about Victoria, but I’m convinced that her time in Season 13’s TC was a made-for-TV dramatic storyline which set her up to be the comeback story for Season 14 and her future as the poster girl for DCC. This is common practice in the nepotistic world of DCC. They knew what they were doing with Victoria, and I have no doubt she will be Cassie 2.0 going forward. I don’t know if it will be a bride/wedding special, but she’ll definitely have some sort of special feature at some point.
Change my mind. 😊
I absolutely believe she was supposed to have a “struggler” editing in order to make her more likable, make sure people don’t accuse Kelli of handing the position to her AND to give her screentime -if she was as amaaaaazing as Kelli claims, she wouldn’t even be shown. We all know the actual good dancers are always hidden away because there is no drama there.
However, I think it backfired when mtt saw how much of a trainwreck she was and there was no way around it. Still, she was absolutely going to make the team that year, had she not managed to gain so much weight that even kelli couldn’t justify keeping her any longer.
10 hours ago, scorpio1031 said:Her pics were never leaked - she was hacked and told K&J in case they were leaked. They weren't happy cause the girls had been told to not have photos like that on their phones after what had happened before.
Yes, but punishing a girl who was matured enough to come clean is such an asshole move. Heather could’ve (and should’ve imo) acted like nothing had happened until she had gotten her 1GL position back. And well, since they were never leaked, she would have kept that 1GL position and defo gotten triangle if not point (you can’t convince me they would rather have Amy share point with Maddie instead of Heather).And if they were happy with making a girl that made headlines for being a racist point, Heather shouldn’t have been punished for being the victim of a crime. Say what you want about the random rules they have, but further victimizing and victim is never ok in my books. At the very least, after putting her in the doghouse for a whole year and seeing her keeping her head up and being applauded for it by her teammates, she deserved better for her final year. #justiceforheather

Are we sure that isn't Chandi in the photo? Armani is great, but only Show Group women are included in stuff like that. Is Chandi in SG?
I think the point was that they kept all of woc this year particularly because of what had been happening all over the country. I’m not saying these women didn’t earn their spots, but I’m sure there were just as many woc in the previous year who were killing it and were cut either before tc or during tc because there were only 2-3 positions available for woc. Unless they keep it up for a few more years, I’m not gonna act like suddenly this org is woke or whatever.
7 hours ago, BunnyHop96 said:Oh she 100% just made point because of her seniority and the fact that she doesn't make waves. She's deff a solid dancer and eye catching in her own way but I agree that point should have that little something extra, some extra sparkle that just draws you in. I just think the team is severely lacking in those type of leaders these past few seasons. Amy was okay, Maddie, is okay, Rachel W is gorgeous but she just doesn't catch my eye the way someone like Holly P or Hannah did. DCC are really digging their own graves with their double standards for cutting dancers and getting bit in butt for it when they don't have anyone left that can fill that point position all on their own.
I agree with this so much. Rachel is gorgeous and photographs well, and I mean, definitely an improvement over last season’s snoozefest. However she looks so....vacant? Uninterested? Point for me needs to have that extra something even if she’s not the most technical dancer (like Kashara) or the most drop dead gorgeous of the team (like JenK). Otherwise, they could just pick the prettiest every year and put her upfront. #Abigailforpoint

Everything you mention is totally fair. I knew me saying I liked her would be an unpopular opinion. I think I have a tendency to root for the ones that people hate even if a lot of the criticism is justified.
edit: for example.. I actually like Marissa, and a lot of people can't stand her either.
That’s fair enough and you can like anyone for any reason! But at least for Marissa, if you take away the personal stuff (social media etc), on screen she hasn’t done much to be disliked. I don’t like er look but it’s not the first dcc I don’t find attractive. However, when someone gets the same criticism for so many different people, I think there might be some truth there. It’s not like we decided to conspire to persuade everyone that hunching over and bending your supporting knee isn’t proper technique, that has been true for longer than any of us had been on this earth!
for VK, I just won’t ever change my mind because no matter what she does, she is on the team only thanks to her mama. if she had come in last season directly? Eh, I’d still wouldn’t be excited but at least she wasn’t that obnoxious and well, we knew for the past decade that she would eventually make the team and stay for like another decade so fair enough. But after seeing her make not just one mistake that would end the “dcc journey” for any other girl, she legit has made everything but sleep with a player. And it’s not enough she still got a place on the team, she’s constantly featured, she got a LEADERS position in the triangle (no rookie would ever be allowed to be upfront like that) AND messed up but still just got Heather’s position after that... I just can’t deal with kelli’s bullshit anymore.

Okay Kelli must be blind at this point.
Good lord... I’m sorry but anyone who sees this mess, with VK hunching over and again almost falling back from the sheer effort, plus the fact that she always bends her knee, and still insists that she’s a veeery technical dancer... we need to stage an intervention. And i can’t believe Shelly claimed she herself taught her ballet. If she reached her 20s and she still can’t kick properly, as a teacher at least i’d be ashamed to admit I was her teacher.

Why, have you ever seen any non heavy kicks from her? In fact she’s lucky she hasn’t injured herself yet, so there’s that at least.

No chance in hell anyone who looked and acted like her in season 13 would've been brought into training camp, let alone stayed around that long. She was like an overeager puppy dog and she had legit rolls—she was very blatantly out of shape/not meeting their standards.
So subsequently, she wouldn't have made it to season 14 without connections. No one would've given her a second chance—they barely would've given her a FIRST, if at all.
Her second time in TC wasn’t a second chance. Her being kept to the end of TC the first time was actually chance no.500.
4 hours ago, NC-CFD09 said:Yeah, I get what you're saying. Season 13 she was a little bit of a hot mess, but season 14 she had it more together.
A little bit of a hot mess? What else should she have done then? Make out with a player on screen? She legit lied on her boss’ face, ghosted a veteran, gained way too much weight, had “no words”, acted like a petulant child in front of her boss when she didnt get SG even though she was actually warned she wasn’t even top 36... And she isn’t that great technique wise, that post above proves it. Good enough for dcc? Eh sure they took worse than her. Beautiful? I guess to each their own but while I appreciate she looks like the perfect dcc barbie from afar, I really can’t look away from that horsemouth -which apparently she did to herself anyway, no idea why she thought veneers was a good idea. So no, no second chance would be given to her, especially when next chance she got she fell out of a simple turn, landed OUT of her dance space and almost fall on her face. Not without the Kalina surname at least.
2 hours ago, NC-CFD09 said:I agree with a lot of what you said. I definitely don't think she would be as featured or given as many things (SG) as she has now if Kelli and Tina weren't friends. I feel like it is possible that other TC's have done stupid and immature stuff that didn't make it to TV.. but since Victoria was so heavily featured all of her blunders were caught by CMT. Nobody can deny though that her first year in TC was a dang mess so I also see where it is highly possible she wouldn't have been given a second chance.
There is no denying she's a talented dancer though.. Travis Wall said she was his favorite both years and I highly doubt he gives a crap what Kelli thinks. He is a straight up legend in the Dance industry. Talented dancers don't always get handed things like SG though (poor Jalyn), so it's possible she'd be a blender. I wouldn't say she's my all time favorite or anything.. but If I got to be Kelli and pick the team she'd make it.
Considering that they’ve even edited stuff out to create awkward moments etc, do you honestly believe that other girls that made the team had equally embarrassing moments yet TPTB decided to exclude the footage? Really?
And I didnt actually watch last season, but I think it was proven with screenshots here that Travis was actually talking to amanda and not VK. Which still, just because you can do one style doesn’t mean you’re perfect for the team. Erin her first time around was a hot mess yet she had amazing ballet technique. Fair cut. Meredith is also amazing yet a hot mess when it comes to dcc. Alora Rose the same. VK dances s****** and out of control and her kicks are god awful for someone who claims they want to be a professional dancer and has no other option really. Did she improve? Yes, but so would all the cut girls ever if they had gotten as many chances as she did.

I saw this reposted on Caroline's story with Ashlee, Caroline, Victoria, and Kelcey kicking.
Just look at caroline’s kick. Then VK’s. Can they have ONE post and ONE event where that girl isn’t featured? Otherwise Charlotte, since you’re too cheap to pay these girls fairly anyway, just cut the team to like 5 girls and have VK upfront all the time. It’s a much cheaper solution.
1 hour ago, LilyDutch said:I like Maddie too, a lot actually , for most of the reasons you pointed out. So couldn’t agree more with you.
But... that does not make you the right person to have that no. 1 position in the team.
A point has to be front and center all the time, not just during Thunderstruck. Someone who stands out, even in a group of beautiful women. How can you make someone point of 36 people in a massive stadium when you can barely utter an audible sentence in front of a group of people with a look on your face that shouts “can I please hide or run from here?”I know her primary task is to dance, but I also remember Jenn and Kash as points and good representatives in lots of other situations like interviews and appearances.
That’s exactly my issue with her. That interview with Kelli was so cringey. And I still can’t get over that GL meeting her first round as 1GL, she looked absolutely terrified. It’s not her fault Kelli wanted to punish Heather, but I can’t get over the fact that Maddie took Heather’s spot. She might be vanilla to some, but Kelli highlighted her her second season on the show as one of the rookies that she noticed the more, she immediately stepped up to a leadership role, she was a great spokesperson... That’s what you want from your leaders and the faces of the team, not someone who clearly wishes she could die everytime they ask her a question.

I watched the first episode when it was free on CMT, but otherwise will not go out of my way to watch the rest of the season (and will definitely not purchase it). This is coming from a former die-hard who owns nearly every season on iTunes and has watched religiously since Season 1. Not only has COVID changed habits across the board, but I also feel that COVID has exposed K&J and this show in a way that I'm just not interested in supporting anymore.
I’m with you on that one. I don’t know how many others joined us, but I decided that I wouldn’t give them any revenue -can’t force others to join me to have bigger impact but i guess i’m doing my part. To be fair though, the VK train wreck was enough to keep me from purchasing the show last season and this season just proved i was right.

Why are you trying to find logic in Kelli’s actions?
19 hours ago, Jess14 said:Agreed about them taking off masks during meetings... they're taking them off when the risk is highest. Makes no sense.
However, I don't have an issue with them wearing masks in the bubble. The NBA had a real, legit bubble, and people still wore masks on the sidelines, etc. The DCCs are definitely doing it for show (I fully agree with that point), but I don't see the issue in taking an additional precaution even if it was a true bubble. There is always the possibility that something was missed, and at that time during the end of summer, the United States was still in the "masks are controversial" phase in certain portions of society. So even if it was just to look good, make a point, and set an example, I actually don't think that is a bad thing, particularly at that time.
Ok so, I’m with you about keeping the masks even in a bubble -because yes if it was done right they wouldn’t need the masks but considering that girls were flying in and out of states just before TC, yeah the bubble wasn’t exactly perfect. And while I understand that having “celebrities” on the screen wearing masks is a good thing, wearing the mask wrong is just as bad if not worse than not having them. They keep taking them off with their hands, no sanitizer in sight, let them sit on their sweaty necks then back in then take them off when talking to each other. Like whaaat?
18 hours ago, GaveIn said:I totally agree! I was pointing out that I actually love that some kept it on during the meeting, like TPTB can call it a bubble & safe all they want, but in a large group, I wouldn't want to take the risk either...especially knowing most of these girls follow eachother on SM, they know some weren't laying low before they entered like they probably should've been. I will say, at least Amber was one with a mask on, wasn't she traveling pretty heavy before 'the bubble'?
I don’t think anyone is making fun of the girls who kept their masks on. If anything, it’s applauded.

I agree and in general, most of the girls have made small tweaks that suited them -I’m not excited about beautiful women feeling like they need these, but it’s their choice. The problem is that some of them just don’t know where to stop. And Lacey is a good and relatively fresh example -she’s looking more and more plastic with each day.
Regarding masks, I also don’t understand why they take them off when dancing. They wear them now anyway and it would be good practice because yeah it’s difficult and they should’ve had the chance to get used to it in TC. And well you know, for safety reasons as well but who cares about that right?

Ok i’m sorry, but how stupid can they be? The whole wearing masks within a bubble is definitely stupid and just to look responsible. But if you decide to wear masks to look good, wear the damn masks when it’s appropriate. No point in wearing them when you’re walking in and out of rooms on your own if you’re going to take them off to speak. That’s when you’re supposed to wear them, just saying.

I just don’t think anyTPTB are looking at this forum as over & over again we have pointed out over & over again the social media errors but the hits keep on coming without there being any improvement, in fact it seems to have escalated.
Oh no they definitely do. We had some girls commenting as well, but the latest case in point is Marissa’s videos being taken down when we started criticizing them. And it wasnt the first time this has happened.
On 11/30/2020 at 1:03 AM, Trixi said:And this is the reason I don’t consider them world class just really, really good😂. To bring on a weak dancer just due to looks, and there have been many over the years, diminishes the rest of the dancers talent.
Well let’s be real, they are only there to be eye candies. It’s easy to find good (and even great) dancers with good looks. But when you have a top notch dancer like Gina and you sideline her due to her looks but put Lexie and Rachel upfront... Yeah the team isn’t about dancing obviously. And I have nothing against Rachel as a dcc (as a person, well...) BUT as much as she improved after her rookie season, she really isn’t powerful or “sparkly” enough to be point. She just photographs well.

Don’t you dare compare Holly and Erica to this! Well I’m kinda joking. But Holly was actually dumbing doing her dancing during her group performances and was blending really well with the others. As with Erica, I don’t recall her adding moves or straying in any way. Aaand also, Marissa could only wish she could be at their level dance wise. She’s not terrible but she’s not on their level in any way.
On 12/1/2020 at 3:34 PM, NC-CFD09 said:I'm curious as to who you all think will retire after this season?
My list of possibilities is:
Tess
Gina - probably not but who knows.. she already has had SG and been a GL... it's not likely she'll get point or pro-bowl so she might as well give it up
Maddie
Cianna - cut from SG .. signals issues
Jalyn - didn't make it back on SG and potentially humiliated over it on the show.. constantly punished for unknown reasons
Kristen - Talked about negatively.. made to "dance for her life"
Briana - Talked about negatively.. made to "dance for her life"
Lexie
Savannah
Rachel A
Alanna - maybe not, but she is really close with Lily.. so i'm sure that upset her. K&J never give her anything too special.
I know its a super weird season to end on.. but it probably has been even more stress than usual and who knows if 2021 will end up being any better. I wouldn't be surprised if we had some shocker retirements too that I didn't consider.
Briana will retire for sure imo. She was extremely vocal about her opinion on Brennan and Hannah’s cuts, if she goes back for a 4th season she will be cut for sure. Tess for me will retire and Gina should do as she isn’t getting a better position in the triangle and certainly won’t get pbc. Although, if she’s happy with her GL status, I could see her doing another season to get to 5 years and do a normal round as GL.
And well I hope Maddie retires. We had three years of her in the triangle, I can’t endure more.
On 12/2/2020 at 6:57 PM, go4luca said:Can't speak for anyone else but that isn't why I don't like Marissa. She can dance okay (I've seen better), but I find some of her moves jerky. The main reason she doesn't fly with me is I cannot get past how fugly she is. Period. That grimace of hers when she smiles big looks like she has constipation. Plus her Mom and her Mom's friends during their times infiltrating various DCC discussion groups really put me off. I hope Marissa is a one and done. She cannot be gone soon enough.
That’s exactly how I feel. She’s an ok dancer but in order to dance big she comes off a bit s******. And well, with that face (excuse me but, oh well), I expected someone at Gina’s level or even beyond. I can’t believe we lost Hannah, who may not be everyone’s cup of tea but she was sexy as hell AND an amazing dancer... and we got this instead.
On 12/3/2020 at 8:35 PM, dccfan204 said:A few random questions/thoughts:
1. Does anyone know what happened with Ashlinn? She seems to be amazing so far and she has only received positive feedback.
2. What happened with Jalyn? She went from being a favorite her rookie year and now it seems like K&J don't like her? Is it just because of how she reacted to getting cut from SG?
3. Did something happen with Caroline? Kashara wanted her to be point so I'm surprised she isn't splitting it with Maddie.
4. When did Rachel W become one of the power-house dancers? I don't remember her getting much positive feedback on the show?
5. Why is Savannah not on SG? She's farther up in the triangle than Victoria, Chandi, and Kelcey which doesn't really make sense?
I want to answer 4&5. Rachel isn’t powerful enough to be point. While I’m happy we got someone extremely photogenic after having Amy and Maddie share point... She’s not strong enough to be up there and it’s a shame when we still have girls that have both the looks and the dance ability.
As for 5, Savannah isn’t a good dancer, period. SG shouldn’t be about seniority and it’s bad enough that GLs automatically get it. Which in normal circumstances is fine because GLs used to be the top of the top and now it’s more about “hmm who do we have left from the upper classes? Wait who is that extremely tall brunette whose head looks to big for her body? Tess? We had a Tess on the team? For the past 4 years? Really? Well she can be a GL i guess”. But yeah they shouldn’t be adding all upper vets to the mix as well just because they haven’t decided to leave yet.

Im glad someone posted this because when I saw it yesterday it looked really odd. And I thought at first maybe it was her way of hyping up the crowd, but then when I went back to watch again after Dreamcatcher's post, yeah it looked like Savanah was going to join in, and it doesn't look like any sideline dance that I remember but it was just weird. The fact that it was posted, shade hehe.
I’ve never seen any videos of the girls doing stuff like that during that part of the game and it didnt look like anyone else in the row didnt anything other than shake their poms. Considering that Savanah started doing the same thing then stopped, it doesnt look like they get to do whatever they want.

I was thinking the same thing. Kelli answers the way a politician would. Not directly addressing the controversy at all. To Kelli it's just another year and another cut. Be quiet, smile pretty, dance, just say "yes ma'am" and the DCC organization will allow you to work with the best choreographers in the world. I still think DCC is the best squad out there. I just really think it's time for Kelli and Judy to retire...just don't give the job to Sam or Victoria!
Look at you, such an optimist... Sam was already gifted a position, even if it’s not directly with dcc but in mtt -we know she got it thanks to her last name. Hayley got already her position so why would VK be left out? I mean, of course they would hire the first dcc to have cheered for 10 years straight, if only to get her out of the squad.

And then she goes on about leadership, inspiring others, being great teammates....that just pisses me off more. It's just complete BS to me because if they spin it to be dance related, especially in Hannah's case, if she was a rockstar for two years & had all these😬 qualities, I would think they would give her the chance to stay on the team
Honestly at first I thought it was a dig, as in calling the current dccs her former teammates as you know, she isn’t a dcc anymore. No matter what she says, almost all current dccs commented on both posts and considering that normally they’d keep their distance to appease Kelli, I think it speaks volumes.

And looks like Savannah was going to follow but stopped immediately. I’m sure that any other girls would get away with doing something like that... and no it couldn’t be a mistake considering all girls were just chilling and normally the GLs/2GLs would go first.

You know, the only style SG performs nowadays. And the only style they perform in every game. Wow Kelli getting a but slower with age huh? Taking you two whole years to catch this mistake, daaamn!

Dreamcatcher. What happened with Heather ?
Not a scandal, not trying to start rumors! I absolutely love her and she seems mature, but she’s one of the few dcc guests I’m sure doesn’t live in Texas anymore, so I’m not happy she went. I’m not judging her as harshly as Danielle because well I don’t know whether she decided to make a road trip out of it instead of flying in and she’s one of the very few dccs who doesn’t post nights out etc. Either she legit stays at home with her partner or she’s smart enough not to flaunt it on social media.

Eh exactly, and unless they’ve quarantined for 2 weeks before taking the tests, even a negative test isn’t worth anything.
I understand some posters on the forum might consider this excessive,but this is such an unusual moment in history so I can’t understand those who act like nothing has changed. Especially when so many people have had to make drastic changes in their lives, lost their jobs or loved ones etc. And well yes I’m furious that we got into another lockdown after months of following state-mandated rules (so not exactly the same situation as in the us where you don’t have federally imposed laws on covid), just because a smaller part of the population just don’t get it. And I mean, we have the internet, we have more entertainment options at home than ever before... no susan it’s not that terrible to spend even a year limiting social interactions, parties etc when you can have chill nights at home with select people, go outside in non-crowded areas etc. We’re not exactly battling black death during the middle ages here, get it together for the sake of everyone else if not for yourself.
and to move on from this happy talk, WHY havent they asked Mary yet to choreograph for dcc? She’s amazing:

the ceremony looks kinda ok, but even there you can see hella lots of people there. You don’t catch covid or any illness only if you stand around x number of people. Just by looking at the wedding party you have like 20 people right next to each other and of course all of them got dressed together etc and Danielle had apparently some kind of pre party yesterday. Is that really following the rules?
The venue seemed more crowded, they were inside without masks, they danced together, they ate together. So no, that’s not social distancing. Especially when you consider that people travelled there and will travel back to their hometowns now.
At least Lacey’s ceremony and reception were both outside if im not mistaken. There’s no social distancing in a party held indoors, it’s that simple.

In any case, she seems like a lovely person otherwise and well liked by her teammates.
3 hours ago, LilyDutch said:I always try to look at things from both sides and not to judge, which can be hard to do... When it comes to Covid and the lock-down the most sensible thing seems to be extremely cautious/lock yourself away in your house. Yet at the same time I can see why a lot of people struggle to stick to the rules, especially when you are from an area where Covid hardly claims any victims, and/or you only know people with (very) mild symptoms. I teach high school classes and this is one of the discussions I recently had with my students. I try not to be harsh and condemning,unless it is someone deliberating flaunting the rules whilst obviously sick and running a fever for instance.
On a personal note but for different reasons: it seems sooo easy to just postpone your wedding (till God knows when) but I can tell from experience it is not. We decided to get married eventually but with a very limited number of people. And till this day, years later, we stand by this decision but there is this annoying, nagging voice in the back of my mind that keeps saying "my wedding day has not been what I envisioned and I cannot change a damn thing about it..." And that is something I will probably regret till the day I die...
I wish Danielle all the best and a very happy future❤️
In general I agree with you. Your wedding should be a cherished memory so you should be able to have it the way you want -whether that means save up for years in order to have a huge party or take 5 of your closest friends and get married on the beach. BUT, I don’t think that having to postpone your wedding due to a pandemic is the end of the world. It’s a (hopefully) once in a lifetime thing and something that we need to accept and endure for a little longer. Selfish actions like that is what makes us all suffer.
I’m sorry if I sound harsh, but we’re entering a second lockdown in my area precisely because people can’t sit their butts down and follow the rules. And it was announced that they are looking into the possibility that there is a mutation already and that’s why the cases have risen so fast, which would make the vaccines currently under testing useless AND mean that we would have to start over. So yes I’m hella pissed because I’ve spent 7 months of my life like this and I hate that so many people decided that having the time of their lives during a pandemic is more important than the common good.
You have family and friends and the love of your life next to you? Suck it up, stay home and marry them next year, it’s not gonna destroy your life or change much really. Getting people sick or under another lockdown does destroy their lives though.

Amanda and Kelcey have one thing that Victoria will never have...they made the team on their 1st try.
The thing is, VK didn’t “manage” to move up. She was given a position that no rookie ever had or will ever have. Rookies shouldn’t be getting an upper vet’s position any way, especially not in a team where rookies are treated as second class citizens until they complete their year. So yeah of course we expect her to be given yet another position she hasn’t earned.

I thought how much better her technique should be with all those years en pointe. I remember when I first was told I was going to be able to go en pointe, there were only a handful in my class because we had the best ballet technique. However, going en pointe was a whole new ball game. I discovered how bad my core strength really was! I only lasted a couple of years because I really struggled.
There’s just no way she was really performing on pointe. Shelly said she taught VK ballet back when we were saying that she needed ballet training and I can’t see Shelly asking her to go on pointe.

I often look at the stories of people who go to the game and the fans who sit behind them have to sometimes get up and look at the side but I guess it's not too bad if they're limiting seating.
Yeah i mean i dont see how it’s soo difficult to coordinate with the dj. It’s not like the poor fella just goes with the flow, of course he’s done some preparation before the game. Just ask him for his set list and choose some choreo to perform.

More than one comment that she was probably just a glorified secretary and her husband was some low level IT to the extent that Shelly came on her and posted something saying that was not the case at all. I have learned to just keep scrolling although I did post something positive towards Meredith at the time but I remember then thinking why can't people just be happy for her. She has gone on and had an interesting career and a family past DCC. Meredith was one of the most well spoken DCC I have ever seen. Some girls take the mike and I cringe. They clearly never took a speech class and probably spent years perfecting some little girl speech they thought was cute or sexy. Meredith was well spoken, had amazing kicks, and her teaching the split jump clinic was great. I could understand where the former DCC want to stand up for themselves at times so personally I give Meredith a high five. It's easy to say move on when you are not the one in the cross hairs. I have also seen Meredith stand up for other DCC such as Cassie and more. Yes the rules of this forum is we can say whatever we want that being said we should not be surprised when a few of them fire back. And let's face it, like a moth to the flame I suspect many of the DCC come on here to see what we say about them. Lacey addressed her wedding being "downsized" on her IG but I already lost a friend on here for commenting on that event was a bit large in the beginning of covid. At least some of the other DCC that have gotten married or are planning to marry, at least tried rescheduling.
I mean... she’s been gone for almost a decade and its been two years since this segment has aired. There was seriously no reason for her to go on fb to find fan pages to post her rant to. If you worry about stalkers, you can post on your social media about the dangers of being in the public eye or whatever. She has no proof that someone specifically from this board tracked her down and I have no idea why she had to include the “15 pages about the mole” (which I really dont recall) and all the poor me details. Just like Cassie, stop trying to make fetch happen. You’re both irrelevant, sure you’ll encounter a few weirdos since you chose to go on reality tv but give it a rest, nobody cares anymore.

I can't get upset about Judy wanting her granddaughter in a squad photo. I think it's something we all would do, and with perfectly good reasons. It's not hurting anyone, it only takes a few minutes, and it's something that will be cherished. When my kids were little and I coached basketball, they would sit on the end of the bench and be the waterboys. They loved it, the players got a kick out of them, and I am smiling just thinking about it.
As for the other stuff, I always had a little bit of sympathy for Cassie because she was in a position where people were always going to play the nepotism card, but then her behavior and attitude completely turned me off. She turned into the stereotypical coach's kid: good, but believes she's superior to everyone else. I'm sure the (somewhat) unfair criticism she got when first making the squad was tough on her, but she eventually brought it all on herself. I do agree it's a bad look for her to still be inserting herself into the DCC drama. It's been years since she's been on the squad, she's got a family, and should have moved onto other things. Judy is at the center of it, yet she's learned how to accept criticism and either accept it or ignore it depending on the source. Being coached as a DCC certainly had a hand in that. I think you can see Cassie's lack of coaching throughout her career showing now, but she's not the first and certainly won't be the last.
No i don’t think what Judy does is cute or healthy. Once or twice over the years? Sure. But i doubt any of us were brought around our parents’ jobs when we were little apart from emergencies or parties or whatever. They may look more like a cult but this is still a professional environment. Which is why i also think cassie needs to back off and stop commenting on everything. Judy would’ve been fired just for discussing workplace drama with outsiders in any other, normal job. And imho, Cassie brings the hate on herself. She knows she was mostly hated, she knows she needs to back off but she loves the drama. She’s posted sooo many stories “making fun of herself” for her mtt storylines and just wants to remind people she was a (very much unwanted) dcc. I personally feel bad for VK getting hate even though I dislike her, because she was still a teenager and still now a dcc so she can’t really get away from all these. But Cassie is a grown ass woman who just can’t let it go.
There, I said it. Oh and for the record, I really do think thar VK is far better as dcc than cassie was even as a 5th year and that says a lot coming from me lol.

Not really... Kelli exaggerates as usual. Thunderstruck and halftimes are full on choreos but nothing that a trained dancer can’t pull off. But from all the videos i’ve seen, they just do 2-3 8counts dances at most and then stop. You don’t need that much stamina to last through this with all the breaks... in a real dance job you either have multiple numbers back to back as well as costume changes (so no time for a break) or so many numbers over the show that at the end every muscle on your body hurts. That’s stamina.

Preach it!

Well at least that would explain how she ended up in the triangle last year. At least it looks much more balanced with caroline and rachel this year.

Amy seems like a sweet girl who does well on appearances with people of all ages. She’s always been a slim girl so won’t have an issue fitting into the uniform again! Plus she lives in the area still and will be able to do more daytime appearances and then run her studio on an evening.
I agree actually. She deserves all star more than point imo.

My response to her was that I hoped the positive was being mentioned to her as well. I can't remember who else said they were told about the negative stuff on here. What kind of friends do they have who would only tell them about the bad stuff?
Which was weird because I think it was almost all positive. The only negatives I recall were more like well their relationship was rocky so she should’ve left him a long time ago. So while not really helpful at that moment, i wouldn’t call it trash talk or whatever either.
And a question, why are the all stars doing this appearance? They have 36 girls on the team, none of them could go to a store opening?
also, good lord VK posted a picture of “all her pointe shoes over the years” and all i could think of was: what kind of asshole allowed someone with poor technique and no core strength to put on point shoes and multiple of them too? It’s a miracle VK hasn’t had a severe injury yet. And that’s not even snark, this is just so unbelievably risky.

Savannah. Man oh man. I’m always back-and-forth with her. She seems sooooo sweet and really pretty but being such a higher-up vet with no SG or leadership position tells me maybe she isn’t the best dancer.
I was happy to see her get ROTY, though. Seems she’s well-liked and respected by teammates! 🙂
I didnt need that to tell me savannah is not that good. She seems to be genuinely well liked and can do appearances so im fine with her being on the team but yeah she’s struggling a lot.
20 hours ago, MeeMee2 said:This comment makes me think of Victoria's first time in TC, when she was whining and pouting about not making show group, only to make it the next year. Yes, she got scolded ( a tiny bit) by Kelli for being childish about the situation, but I can't help but feel other girls on the team would NEVER make it on SG if they complained the way VK did.
I mean... Angela, a 5th year vet was ridiculed to death for assuming she’d get SG. I can’t imagine another rookie hopeful getting a second chance after whining for not getting SG.... while on WW and struggling. They’d have been cut right there and then.
10 hours ago, GaveIn said:Same here! Although I feel she would be too professional to do this, I like to think she is doing it on purpose in a way because she has checked out. We know how close she was to Brennan (and probably didn't even need to be close to Hannah to think this), but feels that her friend(s) were wronged. And even though it was Brennan's name, I think it was unforgivable that the time they do feature her during the game, they put someone else's name & stats on the big board. (and someone that was cut/not even on the team at the time?!?!? I still want to know who F-ed that up lol)
I sincerely hope that was done on purpose by someone who got just as pissed as we did. But how unprofessional by this so called world class organization.
2 hours ago, EricaShadows said:If Hannah DID chew them out (and it was not only filmed, but aired unedited), it would make watching this steaming pile of a season actually worthwhile. However, we know that, even if it WAS filmed, Kelli will either not allow it to be shown at all or edit the living daylights out of it in an attempt to not only make her look good, but Hannah look bad.
Wait wait... we know that MTT crew is checking these boards... so dear whomever, kindly note that every single poster here (well the vast majority) would pay lots of money to buy the whole season if and only if you agree to air this. Only way to get us to buy the season!

True but somehow still a blender with all the rockstars in year 3 and all the drama with year 2s.
It’s a team, they’re supposed to blend in. We just need two different words to describe them -there are blenders like Rachel who is powerful and clearly strong enough to be SG so she keeps up good without being center of attention. Then there are “blenders” like Savvanah who is struggling with the choreo and will never be front and center because of that. No hate, we need different types in the team but yeah.

2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp
in S15
I’m still reading through all the comments and since I’m not watching the show I only get my info from social media... I just wanted to point out how terrible and stuck in the early 2000s miss “i have a degree in marketing so i’m smart i swear” finglass is. All other companies and organizations in the world are trying hella hard to create semi organic opportunities to appear “woke” and responsible. And here we have an example of a so called marketing professional who literally had gold on her hands and threw it away. Both with having a covid survivor, a mental health champion AND someone who was willing to step up and speak about something that I’m sure is controversial in dallas. You can argue that Kristin wasn’t that amazing (although, the same person who legit cried over VK’s atrocious leaps has no leg to stand on but anyway) but ridiculing someone over that kind of performance during a period of civil unrest all across the us, it’s just a new level of stupid.
And I saw someone saying that this wasn’t the place for it...first of all, they never said so -although we all know that a Jones would never be ok with a message like that. And also, the solos are supposed to be part of their application process and their only chance to show them who they really are. In any other normal audition process that’s exactly what you should do: find a way to show what you stand for and show your technique and skills. She did just that and the fact that she did it in front of the most stuck up people in the industry definitely won me over.
