    Ugh. Pebbly skin and greasy bangs. Nice. 

    meh, I think she looks just fine. Her skin is not "bad".  She's young, and natural which is just fine for her and Austins lifestyle.

    Of course this would NEVER be acceptable in the Jinger/Jeremy world 😏

    I cannot understand even now HOW Kat ever made the team even for one season. I think Kelli was just so enchanted with her being a rhythmic gymnast. Kelli gave poor Colby so much grief for being too skinny and Kat was smaller and she did not have a glamorous look at all... 

    I think you are correct.  I agree she was selected because the fact that she was a rhythmic gymnast and what she could bring to show group (if she could make it).  They need 36 women who can perform DCC Pom style, then of those 36 they are looking for roughly 15 standouts for show group.  Having a mixture of "special talents" allows the show group choreography to be more than just the usual DCC Pom.

    Buy property?

    Come and go as she pleases with any female friend she chooses?

    Buy things for big projects that are entirely personal? 
     

    When did this stuff happen? 

    I thought she bought the tattoo parlor thing, she and Laura have traveled several places together, to visit family or to set up stuff for the family.  I could have sworn that Michele (or someone female) said the garden was all done by Jana.

  4. I'm completely confused about Jana.  She is allowed to make decisions on her own\aka buying property, buying the garden materials etc anything she wants to do project wise regardless if personal or family oriented.  Also I think she was the first single to get a SM account.  She seems to be allowed to come and go as she pleases with whomever sibling or female friend she wants.  Although she says there has been some male interest, we rarely see her pictured with/near any males. Maybe she has agreed to never marry and just take care of the minors and her parents as they age.

  5. Erin, IMO, appears to be obsessed with pregnancy/babies and Chad being the "aw shucks" fundie believer will continue to produce regardless if he can afford or not.  

    Tori didn't appear to me to be all that thrilled with pregnancy and motherhood.  So not sure why they insist on pregnancy after pregnancy.

    Allysa not sure why they continue to get pregnant with her health issues unless they are actively trying for a boy.  But they both seem more than willing to work to support the number of kids.

    Josie although as expected got pregnant right away is kind of private like Alyssa and I haven't seen her much while pregnant and if they really want kid after kid after kid. 

    Carlin, I expected to have a baby right off as she likes to be the center of attention.

    I liked her and thought she would have made a good addition to the team.  Although I know some people aren't going to like her because she's so similar to Maddie/Bridget in as much that look like they are having the times of their lives when they perform.

  7. The only reason I ever watched the show was to watch as one of the children escape from the family.  Unfortunately not only did that NOT happen, but they all seem to prefer to be with their family (even their predator brother). The adults all have access to the internet and can educate themselves,  but choose not to.  If Ben can get an online education so can any of the others (male or female). Jinger, although she lives farthest away, still manages to visit as often as she wants.  All of the others (except currently shunned Jill) come and go as often as they like. 

    If any of them truly wanted to change their environment, they could, they just choose not to.

     One more post about this photo (and I'm probably gonna regret asking this - first part).  Is Victoria the closest rookie to the front? I can't see faces behind the line ending with Bridget and Caroline.  Also do Bridget and Heather look slightly off step or is that just the way the photo was shot?

    It looks to me like Amy & Lexie have their weight on their left legs as their right legs are bent.  Whereas Alexis, VK, Bridget, the one obscured by Amy’s arm, Heather, Maddie and Caroline all appear to have their weight on their right leg as their left knees appear to be bent.

    If you scroll a few in (I tried to copy in the right spot but it just defaults to the main pic) - I know Rachel W is beautiful, but there’s just something in the way she photographs that is so off. All the perfect features are there, but it doesn’t click. I’ve felt that way in the last few times she’s been featured. She lacks joy behind the eyes or something, I can’t put my finger on it. Hopefully she’s happier than she comes across! 
     

    Also the player #73 is adorably Santa-like. Lol. Sweet smile and a full beard! 

    It appears to me that due to her pageant days, she knows the exact facial expression that photographs well, and that is the expression that she keeps as she is performing or posing for team pics. Whereas you have Maddie and Bridget who tend to smile with their whole face like they are having the times of their lives, but that sometimes comes across as childlike in photos. There IS a happy medium in there, but it's not always captured by the camera or held by the individual.

  10. Well I'm not too keen on Bella as a first name as to me it's a nickname of the formal name: Isobella or Annabella,  

    I prefer formal names myself, and would consider nicknames for children that are named after another living family member: aka grandfather or Father James and newborn named after him would be nicknamed Jim or Jimmy, Same with female grandmother or mother Michelle nicknamed as Mishie/Shellie/Elle.

  11. Just curious, the news link on previous post spoke with Jedidiah who is running for State Representative and he stated he "does not live there".  Where does he live then?  I thought all of the unmarried Duggars lived in the main house?

    I absolutely hate it that women like Kelly and Michelle Duggar chose to have ridiculously large families and basically put all of the responsibility of cooking and maintaining the household on their daughters. No.  Just no. 
     

    And for the life of me I cannot understand how the daughters all idolize their pathetic excuses for mothers.  I would have been so resentful if I had been raised as an indentured servant.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of kids having chores.  But being responsible for cooking the meals for a mega family is not a chore- it’s servitude.

    These people disgust me.
     

    I could be wrong but the way I see it:  The children are taught to idolize their parents.  Also, they are very "sheltered" in regards to what other non fundie parents/families do.  They don't watch tv, they don't read newspapers, they don't read books, they don't go to school, they don't have friends outside of other fundies.  If they happen to be exposed to other non fundie people; they are told by their parents that it is "wrong" and goes against their religious teachings.

  13. My thoughts on the season:

    VK deserved her spot on the team and looks very good in the uniform.  As long as she continues to maintain a decent weight, then I can see her continuing each year moving closer and eventually into the triangle.

    I’m happy for Maddie being point (she is a favorite of mine) and I’m okay Amy for co-point (since she IS in year 5 and deserves a little something for lasting that long).  I hope they both retire at the end of the year.  Give them VOTY and PB (doesn’t matter which) and then say bye.   

    I really enjoyed Amanda, she’s my favorite rookie, followed by Kelcey.  Unfortunately, I really liked Lisa but I see Lisa as Gina 2.0 because she over-dances just like Gina and ends up looking “off” from the rest of the team.

    I wasn’t a fan of Kat nor Meredith in personality nor performance but they are on the team, so I hope they continue to improve throughout the year.  I hope they stop this “only 36 on the field” nonsense and just select 36 or put 37 on the field to perform. 

    I like the personalities of Chandi, Lily, Taylor P and Kristin and happy they made the team, but they are just blenders same as Christina, Madeline, & Taylor J.  

    I'd like to see Heather in the triangle/point next year.  Lexie and Tess are just fine in the triangle. Although there are many strong dancers who could be up there and be just fine.

  14. Unfortunately for Julia she didn't really have enough time to recover from her media day debacle, her concussion which caused her to be unable to practice, and then that last F bomb attitude on the field when teammates were trying to console her.  They had to cut 4 people at that time and they don't want to cut Lily, Kat nor Meredith.  That left Julia as an easy cut. 

    Charlotte was no help to Kelli and Judy when she said all three (Lily, Kat, Meredith) looked like they belonged on the team and then told them to narrow it down to 36.

    Lily reminds me of Brennan, in so much that she is so scared she is going to get cut that she cannot relax. 

    IMO Kat and Meredith should probably have been cut long ago, but I understand that Kelli really likes them and wants them on the team and if she can sweet talk Charlotte into keeping them all, then she will. With that said Kat and Meredith are making improvements (even if they are small) and that speaks volumes to Kelli.

  15. I was surprised that Judy commented that Katy was not ready this year for the team.  She's everything I consider a "cheerleader" to be.  She can do the DCC moves & kicks, she has a happy smiling face, she seems to have fun, she has the hair that TPTB seem to love.  I mean sheesh, what more could you want, besides losing a few pounds?    Maddie, Bridget, and Katy have the perfect "cheerleader" performer personalities.  

    Also, I'm a bit confused with Christina, I don't have anything against her, I'm just curious, as she didn't appear to do well in the solo nor the interview, so I don't understand why she is on the team.  During deliberations Kristi said she's great on the podcast.  Which is fine, but let's be real, the podcasts are completely run by the DCC and are basically scripted material: Here are the questions I'm going to ask....  If they keep someone like her on the team to just be used as an ambassador, why didn't KF bring her to those TV interviews instead of Maddie?  

    Third question: How often are these cheerleaders even interviewed on the fly?  I mean sure fans are going to run up and gush over them but that's not being interviewed.  TV/newspaper interviews provide you with the topics they are going to bring up so you can prepare/provide the cheerleader with a script to follow.

    It’s not a question of who we think is the nicest or sweetest or cutest or best ambassador. It’s the person who will be the face of the DCC. Maddie looks like a (slightly) pudgy little girl trying to look sexy. I want to pat her on the head and say “Bless your heart, that’s adorable”, and not “that’s a beautiful, sexy woman”.

    Yet, the way I see it; the body on the right appears more "natural".  Whereas when I look at the body on the left I see an anorexic and unnatural/plastic/surgically enhanced body.

    I froze the first episode at 1:33, when they still are doing the "This season on DCC: Making the Team" preview stuff. It has Kelli and Judy talking with Charm. Charm points to a row of pictures in between her and Kelli and says those are the "hard nos" for her. Can anyone with a bigger screen or better eyes than I have tell who's in that row of "no"? Also, in the background is the board with all the vet and rookie photos. You can see that they've started their dot system, and while you can't see everyone, I can tell that there's at least one vet who doesn't have two dots and instead only has one dot. Can anyone tell me if that's Brennan? Based on the pose, it looks kind of like last year's cameo photo of her. Thanks in advance for any detective insights provided!

    There are actually 3 dots given on those pics.  The bottom is a purple/blue dot, then the Red dot and then a yellow dot above it.

  19. I only watched the Queen video one time and unfortunately all i came away with was:  Hannah needs a larger pair of shorts and Jalyn (I think it was her) at the end appeared like she had some sort of tic *L* just kidding, her head movements were very noticeable since she was the only one moving her head about.  Otherwise I think they did fine.  Didn't even notice Amy's mistake that people were referring to.  So I guess I'd have to watch it again.
