Victoria Kiki

Maybe she is overdancing? Sometimes you, as a dancer, feel you have to get bigger and more extra with your moves to show off, earn attention/key spot on stage. If you get complimented on it all of your life and no one stops you, it’s tough to break. The clunkiness is just not keeping the feet and lines in mind. Every move should be finished, clean. I think she needs to have some technique training that isn’t in the network of her mama and everyone she has grown up around to get better. I like her power, she needs to clean it up, though for sure.

I think this is new but they refuse to give us the premier first ever 2-hour special. ARGH

Oh Victoria. Show Group???? *winces because she’s gonna get dragged on here* I like her as a dancer but we gotta stop act so cutesy but she IS a fresh outta high school girl. I get it but she needs to be more aware of how she comes across.

She just seems like she is really in her head, and we know how that goes. I think she is a lovely dancer but yeah, if you can’t remember under pressure at THIS point, there’s no more pressure than at a first game, right? My heart goes out to her-must suck when you mess up and you’re like SOMEONE PLEASE MESS UP MORE THAN ME, ANYONE?

Um, stop being gross, camera people!!!

Her back story is a good one. Way to address an issue that plagues not only teens and pretty faces, mental illness takes down a lot of people. Good for her for addressing her struggle!

Oooh now I see the Tara issue. The new girls are pretty amazing! Tell that story, Gina! Christina is outdanced, how is she here???

Did Kitty piss someone off? Where is she?

I loved that the cameras didn’t move from the routine as much as they usually do. I liked seeing the routine like that and with the music, it was beautiful. They really are great pro dancers! That injury prevention class looks painful yet fun. Aaaaaa show group auditions ??

Okay then.

Probably so they had an excuse to show off their state of the art gym so you too can train like a DC football player or cheerleader ? ?

Why are there some vets at the PT test and not others? Support purposes or are they there for their own fit rating? I like Charlotte’s outfit but I felt the grad scene, although sentimental and cool, was contrived/forced? K & J in the office - they are so cute. Kelli really does get attached. It has to be very hard telling a young woman her dream for the year has come to an end. I think if Charlotte did the cuts... ??? I want to ask the dancers if there is a routine they are tired of/music they are super annoyed by ?

I am an accountant and one of the first CPAs I worked for is an award-winning adult film star today. She’s a big deal, too! Someone tried to to report her to a state license board (jealous? or a hater, who knows) but didn’t work. She practices still but she goes from professional business woman to GOODNESS GRACIOUSxxxxxlike *snap*. She has tons of accounting clients, makes bank, and she is super smart. Some people might be sensitive to it, others probably not so much. Agree! It’s 2 mins though, and the women do jump splits and calypsos, and crazy things that could hurt them, too. If they get hurt, they have insurance. If they don’t want to do it, they could tell Jay or the DCC athletic director or whatever they have there. Just my opinion *pirouette sassy DCC pose, arm rests on head of perfectly curled locks* Why are there some vets at the PT test and not others? Support purposes or are they there for their own rating?

?The women are being given a test that even military peeps even have a problem doing. It’s just trying to show the audience that they are super fit women, which I think gets lost in the misscar-uh, pompom-try and drama. Are they doing the test exactly to military standards, whichever branch that may be? No lol, but who really cares, it’s a fun test that is freaking modified for people who OMG AREN’T SOLDIERS/MARINES/AIRMEN/SEAMEN. ? Sorry, just want to avoid this turning into the 2017 doc/nurse-off of before. ? Fort Hood, the army base is like 1.5 hrs away so maybe the DCC is trying to get more military people watching by word of mouth that the ladies do some mil-friendly workouts. I think there are some Air Force bases and other places as well, but I’m an Army vet and daz the limit of my knowledge here Jay has a great IG account with his classes, and I would totally go and try although my fitness is a no-go. I can still kick high tho hahaha Let’s see Jay kick ? Episode related: I had my doubts about the quality of dancers this year, but K & J weren’t lying—it will be super hard picking who is greater than great. The kickline is a mess but assuming they spend all summer fine tuning, I can see why a dancer would be anxious doing a jump split while hooked to another or two other dancer. That’s actually scary lol I thought the uniform fittings were cute, Dayton really is made for that uniform. I feel bad for VK-she is a beautiful girl but yeah, her weight is going to be an issue (sad that I am saying this about a damn 18 year old). The grad scene made me be like *any awkward oooookaaayyy meme here* but maybe that’s their tradition? I love when Michelle Keys come on. It’s impressive watching pro dancers pick up choreo and then bust a move. And finally, Tara falling at the SG audition - oh my. Please dont TL, DR me. Please read ?

My Army time was 16-17 mins hahaha! These dancers are pretty strong, go ladies!

You gotta head over to one of the spoilers boards and they will get you squared away ?

As a VK defender, even I was like what, no favoritism? Lol Yeah, it would be nice to have more of a wrap with the vets we have adored over the years.

Melissa R brought up a good point I never really weighed before. If you’re going to do the simple yet apparently super super complicated field entrance (no snark) 4+ minute Thunderstruck AND amazing kickline, you should be able to survive doing 5-8 counts 4times and a mini kickline version. Then again, add nerves and the dancers are probably like wait how many counts?? can’t even focus, just straight up like kick kick kick oh shiz that was supposed to be a left kick, crap I am off, KELLI IS LOOKING AT ME DO NOT. CRYYYY left split. My heart breaks for the ones who tried out.

In that one clip, I saw what some have said is VK’s “spastic” dancing but I think it’s easier to tone down power or being a BIIIIIG spastic dancer rather than take a soft dancer and try to make them like an All-Star Holly P/Whitney I/Megan C. Does that make sense? If I was a judge I would have agreed with homeboy critiquing but I think a dancer who can dance big can tone it down easier than vice versa. Meredith gets 2 checks and I am tired of that one reporter lady ruiningggg TCC potential #Kat #dresswasntabigdeal #dresshasmorematerialthantheuniform #hashtagabuse

1) Kelli and her “Imma teach her how to point her toes” omg. I love those moments. It’s almost “heck yeah I can still do the field entrance and hit every daggone line” comment from years back ? 2) ladies, it’s 2018 and while you have no clue what the dance choreo will be, you can easily look up and research the semi kickline routine. And you know the choreo will have at least a double pirouette and a high kick. 3) I am dying for the ones who have dancer brain freeze when they probably nailed it minutes before during practice. UGH!

Also, not one for the sad stories but today, they are working on me.

Okay, CMT please stop making Vk seem so extra. I am 99% sure the producers have lost their minds. There are like 100+ women. Interview other people, damn. Huge Meredith fan now! I hope all of these dancers do their very best!

You got me on everything except the 15 pounders ? aw man.

For me, it would be Karissa with the line-brows (Not Carisa the angel from NC who is just lovely). Karissa just hit all of my BS-ometers and thirstiness markers and I just felt like...we were getting con artist vibes. I don’t know why hahaha. She really did talk her way into TC. Carla...that poor girl was set up to fail.

Exactly! I would never expect to take up a martial art for a year or two and become a any degree in anything. Dance is hard and she is competing against people who have danced at pro levels, elite and college team levels. Let’s not be delusional. ??‍♀️ Nice try but no, we already had a Katherine Dunn (pretty and sweet but not the best dancer).
