I am using this quote because the picture shows it well. Like previous commenters, I also think VK looks much older than she is due to her makeup. It is way too heavy and she's using the wrong products for her age. I'm guessing her mom taught her how to apply makeup, (which is awesome that her mom cares enough to be involved in her child's life). However, she should get tips from someone who knows how to apply makeup and can help her find products suited to her age.

Happy birthday! You do look great, and I agree that good genes, sunscreen, and skin care help maintain a youthful appearance. I would argue that you are not the norm as in people are probably shocked when they hear your age. Where as my comment was in response to the insinuation that everyone who is your age looks the same age as Tina. No shade but while you look amazing, Tina does look younger than you. I doubt she will look as good as you when she is 70 though!

Do you have access to the fountain of youth? If people around you that are 70-80 years old look like Tina, then they need to bottle the source of the youthfulness and sell it!

Ohh sorry, I misunderstood your comment. I thought you meant this is her first year on the team not that she got 15/15 her first year on the team.

I agree, I am not seeing where she looks older than her age. This would have been Tara's second year on the team.

Maybe she's just trying to bring all the boys to the yard. Sorry couldn't resist ?

I agree, I love makeup and I go with my eyes done and a bare lip because otherwise it is too much. As far as acceptable makeup for the day time, I wear eyeliner and mascara, my shadow choices are lighter than something for evening. For context, I work in a professional business office where a suit is my daily attire.

I'm confused by your thought process of VK deserving more time but not Dayton. I know we all are entitled to our opinions, and maybe I'm the one seeing things jaded. However, on what planet is VK more DCC ready than Dayton? Weight is a glaringly obvious issue. Nobody wants to see a jiggly cheerleader.

Problem with this theory is editing. Nobody knows what order the events took place in. For example, the group they showed Dayton in could have been a quick run through. Then they moved around the order of events. Also how many times have girls had memory issues or trouble picking up choreo and were given extra chances? The answer is many!

That's actually not true. Makeup can do amazing things if applied properly. I have a pointy nose that is concealed with makeup. My setting spray is so powerful, I once accidentally rubbed my mascara onto my face and couldn't get it off. I had to put concealer on it just to run into chik fil a

Catching up on old posts: I actually think she looks terrible for someone dancing her whole life. I see a baby giraffe walking for the first time. Just my opinion.

Not surprising, Comcast is the devil!

Not if you look at it statistically, like from a literal mathmatical equation. Ex: math in not correct, just an example. 400 girls try out, 350 are white, 50 are POC. Due to dancing ability, or lack thereof cuts are made, this continues to training camp where it's clear there are more white women. Looking at the big picture, it would actually be racially biased to keep women of color just to be diverse.

But the OP straight up called Kelli a racist.

LMAO! Honestly it took me months to realize it was routine fan not crouton fan. I would always think yum, I like croutons too!

It means you totally agree with the response and intended to say the same thing (more or less)

I think the issue many of us are having is that "DCC" i.e. Kelly and Charlotte do in fact bring "just anyone" to training camp. Obviously they have to have some skill but we have seen on numerous occasions girls being cut when someone much worse remains on the team. Additionally I, as well as some others feel that VK staying so long shows nepotism. Many TCC in the past have stayed past their expiration date, for CMT ratings.

I thought you posted about being her friend, wouldn't you know if she were cut?

This is what I'm thinking

Also 15 lbs looks different on people. For some 5 lbs isn't noticable. VK is tall so while idk how much she gained but 15 lbs I plausible.

No, what I'm saying is that it isn't impossible that Kelly would favor a friend's daughter over a coworkers daughter. I was using the dirt thing as an extreme example. I also do believe that in general people are more apt to give preferential treatment to their BFF over a coworker's child because they are closer with their BFF's kid. If Kelly is gushing over Victoria it shows what I'm saying bc with Dayton she says she knows her but doesn't say much else. I certainly don't recall her saying Dayton this and Dayton that. Again this is all me backing up why I think the original post is plausible. Also, I'm not saying this is even intentional on Kelly's part but it doesn't mean that VK isn't getting an unfair advantage.

I didn't watch last night, don't know if I will watch because the VK situation rubs me the wrong way. I think of the two legacies Dayton was a much better option. I really like Dayton and the early cut is just gross. As to the others who said that they wouldn't give VK special treatment if they didn't give it to Cassie or Dayton I respectfully disagree. First, there is obvious beer googles on Kelly when watching VK. Also, people generally let their friends in on their dirty little secrets moreso than co-workers. Tina could have dirt on Kelly. There is also the part that I highly doubt Shelly or Judy would want their kids to be the worst on the team so they won't even ask for special treatment. Last, I also feel like Tina would lost it if VK didn't make the team. They certainly wouldn't have handled it like Dayton and Shelly. She chose to cut the level headed person vs the volatile person. Obviously she didn't want to be accused of nepotism.

I commented in a similar manner because it is obvious to me you are a great mom. My mom is the complete opposite so I admire great parenting. Keep up the great work!

Agreed! IMO this is an example of a great family dynamic

She is 20, not 22. However, they have a wonderful mother daughter relationship and there is nothing wrong with that. Just because Shelly went to the job interview doesn't mean they need to cut the cord because they are so intertwined. Maybe Shelly was just being a good mom and supporting her daughter. Shelly, and the rest of the family are super excited and aren't too worried about Dayton's safety. I'm not sure if people realize how dangerous the United States can be.
