Does the DCC provide the outfits for these videos?  I know the pro shop does, but this dress plus the other one VK was wearing in ONE of her videos seem similar.  Rachel looks like she’s wearing one of VKs audition dresses here.

Wow...this is beautiful...I’ve watched it 10 times.  Such a beautiful dancer.

She even had names for them 🙂 

Hah!  I forgot that.  She sure did and took  them to Tangerine on makeover day.

I think that should clear it up. I know I’ve seen speculation that Judy and Kelly wouldn’t allow Kat her natural hair and forced her to wear a wig. 

I don’t think anyone forces Kat to wear wigs.  Didn’t she come in wearing them?  Seems to be her thing.

When Vivian corrected Kitty Carter with a totally straight face, "Actually I'm the Tin Man."  😂

I wonder if Vivian was actually going to do Tin Man or if that was scripted.  No one in their right mind would have actually thought that was a good idea.

breathtaking!

 

I would hate to dance beside Hannah.  She’s so intense and graceful at the same time.  Not that Erin wasn’t good, but Hannah takes it to a whole other level.

I keep thinking that the bright side of the shutdown is that they aren't going to be able to bring Dawsom back pregnant this season.  Silver lining, if you ask me.

I’m new to Chicago Fire. I’ve heard people talk about it but never watched.   I just started binge watching during the shutdown and during the first two seasons I fully fully in Dawson’s corner.  By end of season three into season four I’m thinking it should be called The Gabby Dawson Show.  UGH!!!  Is she a paramedic?  Is she a firefighter?  A wanna be doctor?  Now into season five, she’s an investigator tracking down a guy with a hero complex.  And the way she’s jerked poor Casey around....he deserves better.  Now Severide...totally yummy.

I don't care for Kat's hair. The length and the color looks old and drab.  

Alexis darling your top has lost more of the fabric I'm afraid.  😏

This is a terrible picture.  None of them look DCC glam.  Kat’s hair...OMG!!   Drab is right!  Maddie’s hair looks like it’s still wet, VK is sucking in so much she may pass out any minute, Bess looks like she has bags under her eyes, Alexis...did she get a boob job she’s trying to show off and where is her make-up??  Even Brennan is looking down her bridge so much, her eyes make her look mean.

Sigh. This just shows that VK has always had a leg up on everyone, even from a young age. I'm probably what most would call a VK defender, but I think her village (her parents, mentors, other adults in her life...etc) has really failed her. I don't think she's a bad dancer and I think she is fine for the team, not the best and not the worst. But even I am starting to feel like they are trying to make fetch happen with her. If she just rode out her first year without being featured in articles and in special IG videos, people might have grown to like her and she would have the space to grow as a dancer on the team without the spotlight on her. She also just doesn't know when to shut her mouth. There's no reason to reveal that you got into things unfairly because of nepotism.

You’d think with all that she’d be better than she is.  She should be flawless, but here we are.

Love all the images except Kat's.  It makes her hair look dirty to have that two-toned yuckety yuck.

Don’t Kat wear wigs?  It hard to tell, I just remember her talking about them.

Does anyone remember seeing a group picture similar to this one from this year? All I can remember is that Gina was on the far left (from our POV) and Christina (with her big fake boobs) were 2nd from the right (from our POV) and there were probably 5 or 6 of them in the picture. 

ETA: Found it. Was on Lexie's Twitter.

Has Gina had some work done?  She looks different.

Oh hell to the no!!!  Without traffic, that place is only 30 minutes from me.  Way too close! 😱

So another lyrical solo for Victoria this year.  Wanna bet it will be really close to the same one she’s done for the last two years?  She will never even come close to Lacey lyrical.

Oh cripes, thanks for telling me without being cruel. I was clearly not paying attention. I’ll delete it.

Still think it was bad judgement but she’s younger than vet Kat so I’m not as surprised. 

It might have been better if the music wasn’t so loud.  You couldn’t even hear her taps.   It was pretty boring to me.  Didn’t even watch it all.

I think that the TPTB want the heat taken off VK so that have Cat do something that gets the board going in another direction

the heat will not be taken off VK until she learns to dance without falling out of turns and do leaps without looking like it’s all she can do to get off the ground.  If she weren’t practically Kelly’s daughter, her performance in the first round this year would have been in the highlights of the bad dancers.

Several years ago why did they keep Kat, Morgan, or the Samantha who couldn’t directions and tanned the night before cameos when emailed not to do so several days before, and who had suspect memories. And Merideth, beautiful technique, but suspect memory. Kat, who I really like, suspect memory. Couple of years ago they cut Hannah for her weight, and she was an amazing dancer, yet gave others more time. Not that they shouldn’t have given others more time, but why not Hannah also. They also gave Danielle, Jennifer C, Veronica a chance to lose weight. Kashara and Holly were weight warned also. If they do like they did Danielle and those ladies, they will pull them from appearances. I get that your animosity isn’t against Victoria, and I like most of the ladies I mentioned (couple aren’t my favs), but my point being Kelli and Judy confuse me. I believe they want the bet team, but I don’t believe they are always consistent. And I will shut up now. 😉

Ugh...Kat and Morgan...I think Kat earned her spot more than Morgan did.  Both of these girls were one and done, but that won’t be the case with  VK.  She’ll be on this team no matter how much weight she gains and no matter how many turns she falls out of and we’ll have her shoved in our faces for years to come.

I’m guessing this years Kat may also be a one and done as well as Meredith.

It seems allot of folks aren’t big fans of Victoria, but I like her. She may not be the absolute best dancer in the room, but, in my opinion, she is a very good dancer, bright, beautiful and fun to watch. I remember previous years when they kept people who weren’t a fraction as good and couldn’t follow directions. My favorite DCC is Rachel W. She beautiful and an amazing dancer. And every time I’ve heard her interviewed she comes across as very sweet, real and honest. 

Honestly, it’s not so much I don’t like her, I don’t know her enough to know that.  I do know I don’t like the mistakes she continues to make and seems to get by with when other girls would have been cut.  My animosity is not toward VK herself as it is TPTB that’s letting the ‘world class’ and ‘the best of the best’ bragging rights get flushed down the toilet because of one clunky dancer.  We will see what happens when she gains the weight back.  Will she get pulled from appearances in uniform ‘until she can fit in her uniform’?

Well, I think most famously, during tryouts this year. She slipped on a pompom that was circling the dancer floor. Remember? She got cut first round because of it....oh, wait. Just kidding. She didn’t. She gotta resounding “Awwwwwwwwe!! LOL, only Victoria. LOLOLOLOL 😍.”

The pompom, however, did not make it to the next round. 

She also fell out a turn down on the field doing the DCC routine.  I don’t care what anyone says, this girl got preferential treatment and shouldn’t have made TC this year either.  Killing the Pom pom during the first round, then fell out of the turn again on the field.  Anyone else would have never made TC, much less the team.  Better dancers were sent home.

Just saw a post on twitter about Victoria taking prep classes at 16.

 

 I would have thought the classes minimum age was the same as being a cheerleader (18).  Can anyone confirm?  Wonder if she just got to take the classes because of who she was (Tina Kalina's daughter)?

Well good Lord, if she started prepping when she was 16 why is she still falling out of turns and clumsy as a bull in China? Bahaha...I mean Bull in a china shop...

Me, too! After John Fox, I thought I’d never love a coach again, but Riverboat Ron is a class act. 
 

Has anyone heard who Jerry Jones is Looking at to replace Coach Garrett?

im watching season 13 on Direct TV on demand and they play the original music in these episodes.  And....it makes me mad that Tara was cut before 11 lbs of milkshake heavier VK was.  Just not right.  Tara earned more of an opportunity to improve than VK did. IMO

On SM I read people defending her mistake when she came up a count early! Things like: 

She keeps being moved around, you can’t expect her to be perfect when every week she’s in a new spot.

That’s why she’s the best, the only one they trust enough to be in a different spot each week

It’s really funny! 😂😂😂

With the obvious mistakes VK has made, does anyone know if K&J have addressed them with her?  How many times have we heard over the years that a mistake in the triangle is SO Visible.  Well, this year is the first time I’ve seen such an obvious mistake in the triangle so any news on whether they talked to her about it?

@ShellyB, do you know why TPTB chose not to have These Boots Are Made For Talkin' podcasts with this season's squad?  I understand Courtney McKenna is no longer with the organization but hoped they'd find a replacement & continue them.  I enjoyed learning more about the girls.  Are there plans to bring the podcasts back?

Kashara would be a good one to host it!

I can’t be the only one that knows a still shot of a fast moving dance performance never captures what’s real.  If that shot was taken a millisecond later we’d see Caroline in a low landing & awkward position and VK in a flying leap.  Same thing yesterday when someone posted a still of VK “coming up too early” during sideline rehearsal, but when the whole video was posted, it showed she was supposed to bc it was a contagion   Just seems we’ve seen everyone caught in a snap that could be used against them but we’re educated in dance photography enough to know it can be justified and explained away...unless it’s Victoria...then Bam!...it’s used as proof she’s a horrible dancer. Everyone sees what they want to,   I just don’t see it that way. 

The first DCC in motion she was in, she was unsteady a couple of times.  When she changed positions in Thunder,  she came up too soon and was at the wrong angle.  In her DCC in motion solo, she was heavy in her jumps.  I say again, I know nothing about dance training and technique so when an untrained eye notices this from the same dancer, it’s bad.  No one else messes up like she does.  If it were anyone else, K & J would bench them till they learn to dance.  Just my opinion.
