I love Kat and like Amanda. But they are both Kalyssa to me - just girls who want to promote their own agenda. I can see Kat changing and really getting into the DCC vibe. But not Amanda. I really think they would be better off on these leaner years to focus on girls like Gina Marie that really want to be a DCC instead of really wanting to promote themselves.
I still love Kristin! Yes, girl, there are people rooting for you! They gave her notes and she took them and improved her facials. I hope she is rewarded. Plus, I think she was the warmest toward VK and it was natural because she is a good person. I know none of them could like that storm......

I know this may sound horrible but...... I hate the sob stories. We all have them. Everyone has lost a loved one. But be honest. You aren’t auditioning for the DCC because you’re dead 2nd cousin’s boyfriend twice removed on your mothers side’s grandfather’s neighbors cat is watching you from Heaven. When these stories start and the fake tears come up, I want to turn the channel. Ok. I know I’m a terrible person. I can’t help it. It seems every year there is at least one. Somewhere in the season. One. Some girls somebody died so many years ago and she’s doing this for them. Ugh.
I always laugh when I think about the producers readying them for the THs. So, do you know any that has died? Ever? ?????

Many of you have mentioned Kelly's weight loss......is it that or reductive surgery? I didn't see as much of a weight loss in the rest of her body. Maybe her neck or lower back finally gave out from holding up the girls? She looked good.

I cannot believe how much those connected with the DCC are on social media defending VK. Damage control is in overdrive.
In the military, they call it "closing the ranks". And, they are doing a great job of it! Sad for them it isn't working.... And as far as Cassie, you'd think she'd actually be heaving a huge sigh of relief to no longer be the most villified DCC ever.

Alanna Tarango is on my ‘Love’ column. Let there be no doubt about that. Her smile is an eternal well to my heart. She never makes mistakes and everything she does is positive. A little Miss Sunshine!
No one can describe my amazement of how great she looks now compared to last season. It is other-worldly!
It cannot be only her eyebrows. I looks more that something is different with her eyes and her nose.
I am with you. I think maybe teeth, too? It's an amazing transformation. I really didn't like her look last year. Let's hope she gets a better dress for etiquette! Maybe they'll lend her one of the pass arounds!

Yes!!! Finally showing some different girls, including Kristen:)
But Kristen looked horrible! I love her but those eyelashes have to go! One was on crooked and they are just too much. They are the cause of those sleepy eyes.

Ok, I’m just going to say it...I love the Kelli and Judy promos MTT is doing and I want more. Yes I’m probably going to hell. Yes I’ll save you a seat ;).
Thank you for your honesty. I sit in that hot zone with ya sista! I don't watch this show for kindness and strong management skills example. I am sorry, if you weigh 180 and have never had a dance lesson and show up....baby, it's on you.

My point is that LVP is about promoting herself and getting business into her restaurants - not that some good isn’t done along the way. (The more good, the better!)
With all of these shows, I’m interested in the intentions and motivations of the women - rather than their acts, images and hairstyles.
Wasn't there an episode of Friends where Phoebe was trying to do a selfless act but she couldn't because they all benefited her in some way?

Haven’t read everything yet, but what was different with Dorit’s face at the 6-month contrivance?
I think she was just out of her botox update/maybe even a little plastic surgery and this ordeal got planned at the last minute. From the front it actually looked pretty! From the side, pur duck lips. Embarrassing.

The 2 girls standing next to Maddie are the daughters of Alex Rodriguez (Maddie looks their age 😂 )
Next to Erin I see the 2 legacies, Lisa Mills, Julia and Chandi.
Above Erin are Lily and Meredith with Hannah, whom the camera does not seem to love. Left of the always very recognisable Alexis, Tay P, Shaina, my new favourite Amanda Glamazon Dilks, the-future-point-after-the-Jalyn-tenure: Kelcey Wetterberg, and the girl whom the camera is always in love with, Kat P.
Kristen is to the left of Maddie, in between Savannah and Amber.
Christina, with a deep plunging neckline, is clearly very happy with her purchase and showing them off, and may I add: good for her!
I just felt the need to say something nice this am:
I think VK looks nice in this pic. I have never been a fan (gur-l get you some self control), and she looks horrific when she over does the eyelashes (multiple THs last year), but this pic is nice. Ducking and running........

Victoria will make the team. The point is she only makes it due to nepotism and her mother being the bffs with the director and money. If not for that, she wouldn’t have even gotten past semis.
she can’t turn, she doesn’t observe dance space, dances out of control, and I’m not even factoring in things we hear consistently (I’m from DFW) about her attitude and personality.
She will always be an asterisk DCC. I honestly feel bad for her because she will always wonder if she could have made it on her own merit.
People like that don't wonder. They KNOW that the world is blessed to have them. We may give her an asterisk, but VK and TK don't see it there.

I know. "If we do it then they'll buy it". I bought it at the time and I paid cash.
I rewatched tonight and, like I said, knowing what I now know, with my brand new glasses on, BARF.
Dear Kelli, I have a return I'd like to make on a past purchase. I have the receipts.
I watched it last night, too! I was disgusted the first time and just laughed at how ridiculous it was this time. Now Charlotte - that just gets me angry. When Weatherman Scott gave his honest opinion and she just flashed those eyes and gave the sarcastic "really?, I had the exact opposite" response. When someone has the power, they shouldn't abuse the power. A more gentle response would have been appropriate and gotten her point across. It is just ungracious and inappropriate to behave like that. Hey Char, just go ahead and laugh and say "Dude, your opinion doesn't matter, I am a Jones and you are just here to look pretty so shut up".
Oh, and I truly believe Weatherman Scott would not have been asked back if not for the outcry from this esteemed group of fans. I know no one and have no facts, I am just saying......

This is so on point. Watching Kelli and Brenda bawl their eyes out at Vicki's audition last year was just BARF.
An amazing attempt at mind control.

Jalyn was my favorite rookie as well last year. Even if she had an "off" day, I will never, ever believe that she was cut from SG due to her dancing.
Let me guess... She didn't kiss the ring?
Ummm that's touch the star! :)

I get what you're saying about workplace conversations but I disagree with your statement that the person sharing the information is what makes them look bad.
The poor decision making and the thinking/favoritism/nepotism behind that decision making is what makes them look bad.
Simply because the information got out early doesn't change what their decisions are and the factors that went into their decision making.
Whether the info about VK is revealed in early July or mid-late August when pre-season activities start doesn't change a thing.
The only thing making TPTB look bad is TPTB.Excellent! You do something wrong or stupid, and people will talk. It isn't the talkers' fault!!!

I hear what you are saying, but it also kind of makes my point -- if you are going to cut girls (or not bring girls back) for breaking the rules, don't have shifting rules and don't shift the rules when someone breaks them so egregiously
VK came into camp last year with a PP attitude and went out with a PP attitude. I don't think a leopard changes its spots and especially not when stage mom is there egging her on because she is living through her daughter.
I will bet you a milkshake that she will bitch and moan if she doesn't make calendar next year.
I don't think we will ever have the opp to see what happens when she doesn't make the calendar.

I agree--this year's pictures look great. Same photographers as last year. I think the makeup artist put too much blush on Bridget and they were too heavy-handed with Heather in her yellow suit, too. Beachy-light looks better, but they are both so gorgeous that they rock the pictures anyway.
I think Maddie's pictures look so good because she's not smiling in them. That is when she looks her prettiest, I hate to say, which is why I don't think she's a good pic for point. Usually, it's an upside when a dancer is smiling all the time, but Maddie's face appears even rounder when she smiles and her upper teeth kind of take over her face. Gina gets squinty when she smiles, yes, but for me, if it's between the two of them, and I were TPTB who's considering "photogenics" when weighing out point girl, I'd have to go with Gina. However, like some others here, I'm hoping there are more than just those two vets in the running for point. I would love to see Heather at point, and I think Lexi is a great dark horse candidate. Both are prettier and more photogenic than Gina or Maddie, I think. I get stuck on Gina's rushing. Otherwise, I'd think there's no question that she would be point. She still might get point, of course, and if she does, I won't be mad at her!
The make-up job I hate the most is Gina's in the special suit. I hate that for her because that picture could have been all that. I know I stand alone in liking that suit, but I also like the other two suits with blowing stuff (Cianna and Ashley?)

That one of Maddie's - a guy on FB said it changed his opinion of her. I can see why. I love her hair like this. Like Nicole Bulcher's.
And Molly looks great, as usual:)
That's the pic of her that made me think she could be point. Lovely!!!

Respectfully, that's not it all. I'm not comparing myself to VK, I'm comparing her to the other girls who were cut for the least little thing. She, on the other hand, gained 10+ pounds in training camp, lied about a disorder, lied about going to the doctor about said disorder, and when called on it, threw Jinelle under the bus. Plus, she's an average dancer at best. In the past, any ONE of those infractions would cause a girl to get cut and told to never return--not so with Victoria. She will make the DCC this year, that much is known. But, to me, she will always be an illegitimate DCC -- someone who only got the spot because of who her mom is.
Keep in mind, they only take 36 girls. That means some deserving girl is going to be cut just so VK can wear the uniform. It's really sickening.
EXACTLY!!!!!! She WAS promised it last year, but she screwed up so badly, even Charlotte said she had to go. They may rein her in some this year and she will illegitimately make it, but the story doesn't there. Some girl won't make it because of favoritism and nepotism. That girl will not get a position she is qualified for because of VK. That girl has to call her mom and say she wasn't good enough. But she was........ sad

Well here it goes: Kathryn Dunn is a trainwreck, always has been, always will be. She was the "beautiful storm🤢" before the Beautiful Storm herself🤢🤢. I'm not surprised in the slightest that she's up on the block first.
Dying........ Two large, beautiful blonde girls with NADA self awareness!

Don't know if someone already responded, but Maddie looks stunning in 2 of her pics and yes mature.
Yes, she does! The first one in the Dallas Cowboys suit is my favorite. I was very surprised she had more than one that was FANTASTIC. It changed my mind about her potential as point.

2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers
in S14
Well, I definitely think it more about Amanda than Kat. She made it clear with her words and actions. Someone said it above - one and done and on to the Bachelor!!! With Kat, I think it is just that the last candidate I saw that wowed me that much was Kalyssa. I think for Kat, being a forever DCC would be a waste. She is all that and a bag of chips. So with her I am more assuming.
I am the one that started this firestorm about ambition. @rafibomb put what I mean to say better than I did:
"Desperate to be famous" is just not an ambition I find particularly admirable, I guess. Success and fame are two very different things.
I think it would be difficult to have a whole team of one and dones - the desperate to be famous ones. They need to pick up the Gina Marie's who have a current ambition to be a DCC but who also likely have a future ambition to do something else.
