This might come out sounding sarcastic, but it genuinely isn't: it's really kind that you are assuming VK is trying to be better!  I've been assuming that she is getting more love from her teammates on social media because they don't want to end up on Kelli's bad list.  It never occurred to me that it could possibly be sincere - and to be honest, I still have doubts.

Yeah, good point. What prompted my earlier post was primarily the work she’s put in on her figure. She’s even more toned this year, which makes me think she really put some time and effort into it. As to social media, you could totally be right.

You literally took the words right out of my mouth.  Pod person?

LOL! Still not a fan (at all), still disgusted at the special treatment she gets/got, and still tired of seeing her featured all the time. ALL I’m saying is I am impressed she seems like she’s trying to be better. I REALLY didn’t think that would happen when she made the team, but I’d be happy to be wrong.

Regarding that picture of Victoria, I think she deserves credit for not only looking great but for clearly having put in a lot of work on her body.  She came across REALLY entitled the first time she auditioned, and this gives me hope that she's turned that around and is taking responsibility for herself and her own success. She also seems to be getting more love on social media from her teammates, which makes me think she's working on those relationships as well.

Who knows exactly why Kat was moved up but a likely possibility is that they needed to spread out the WOC.  Given how many diverse rookies they took this year (which is good), the picture wouldn't look balanced if all the women with darker skin tones were concentrated in the back.

And, yes, the post on Taylor's page is disgusting.  Sounds like an angry family member though and not a fan.  Regardless, I know people on reality shows open themselves up to criticism, but that's beyond the limits!

What else does she have going on? 

I think Maddie is pretty beloved by the organization (and deservedly so from what one hears about her).  I could see them hiring her to work with the team in some capacity.

It is the messed up East Texas nepotism that surrounds her wherever she goes that inspires so much anger/anguish. This doesn't make her less pretty!

Agree.  That is basically what I was trying to say above.

It isn't that it wasn't a good photo (I think it was a good photo of a pretty girl and I'm not a Victoria fan by any means), but the makeup and the hair does her absolutely NO justice and accentuates possible flaws.  If the makeup and hair was better, I would have thought the photographer just caught her face at the wrong time.  However, the makeup accentuates that her eyes looked funky and that her mouth was no better.  I think it's been said in studies that, when something doesn't match the image, our eyes go straight to the thing that is wrong instead of seeing the whole picture.

I'm kinda in the same boat.  If I'm being honest the thing I dislike most about VK is how the show forces her down our throats at every turn and the double standard she was held to during auditions, but in fairness that probably isn't her fault (at least not entirely). So I agree that it's good photo. But I also wish she'd tone down the make-up as I don't think she needs that much.

And the return of the turtleneck too!! Seriously, she looks FABULOUS. Love all of the pics of the friendship too. Those two ladies bring so much class. 

Agreed. I think they both look great.

In regards to Marissa - and to be honest, every cheerleader - I'm more worried about cameos than anything else. Those are the definition of hit or miss... most often miss, it seems.

Yeah, but even a pretty girl can have a bad cameo. Remember Holly’s first cameo? I thought that was awful, and yet I think she’s a gorgeous girl.

When? The only Blonde one I reconize is Lexie. Marissa looked pretty good imo

I am forced to agree -- Marissa looked good.

I haven’t been to the stockyards in forever !! Billybobs opened as a restaurant !! 

I’ve been surprised at the number of people willing to visit the Stockyards during COVID. There was a planned bar crawl in April! It was eventually canceled but some people still showed up for a tailgate. Again, in April!

Covid CAN cause long term complications, but there’s no way yet anyone knows if that will be true of Brennan. That’s why you should give her every chance to heal without feeling she’s already lost out in being a DCC. That’s the grace that was extended to Cassie and Danielle. To me, she was even more deserving of that benefit given that the girls aren't even dancing on the field this year.

He was initially trying the foster to adopt route . . . not sure if he changed his mind or chose to foster who needed it the most at the time.

Sounds like he wasn’t approved to adopt for some reason. Hmm.

After waiting an eternity to be approved to foster, he literally doted on these babies.  Protected their privacy, took them on walks, showered them with love - it was seriously amazing to watch unfold.  So his heartache was palpable when it came time to have to give them up.  I don't know how he did it.  I don't think I would have had the strength.

So I'm guessing he wasn't approved to adopt them? Wonder why not.

As for Marshall, I respect the hell out of him for his work fostering, and I enjoy his posts on insta.  I’m not going to blame the man for punching back a bit. This is a mostly anonymous forum where people are much nastier than they would be to someone’s face.  Much worse has been said than what I’ve seen from @Teriyaki Terror but she obvs hit a nerve. What did Schram say in her talking head? They’re people too. 

 

A good reminder.  Thank you!  What kind of fostering does Marshall do?  I didn't know about that.

He’s posted about you 3 of 4 times. Clearly you touched a nerve!

This is Marissa and her mom Barbie.  Marissa's mom seems she has been grooming her to dance since she was born just like Tina with Victoria.   Who calls them self Barbie when they are 40 something?!

What this pictures tells me is that the placement of the girls really determines their chances of voluntarily or involuntarily departure. If Jalyn or Alanna are not more upfront this year I will fear for them next year.

Interesting point!

Hey everyone! New to the group, been following for a while, and finally decided to join. I reached out to some Dallas news affiliates about the wrongdoing with Hannah, because we all know she was released over voicing concerns over Covid, not on ability, and that is just so wrong on every level. I also mentioned the situation with Brennan, and how wrong that was with her having had covid twice, and instead of treating her like the survivor shes is, she was let go. Welllll, one of them just got back with me, and is now wanting to speak with me, and I am thrilled they are interested, and that an award winning, investigative journalist is seeing this situation as something worthy of looking into, and is going to put her time in to finding out more , but at the same time I am kind of nervous. I had honestly just pointed her in the direction of speaking to Hannah, since her IG post is pretty telling, so I wasn't thinking she would need or want to speak with me. I was straight forward with the fact that I'm not like working with the DCC or even in Texas for that matter, and that all of my info is coming from soc media. Anyway, the reason I am posting is, if you can think of points I should make sure I touch on, I would love and value that input. Also, if whoever is that person who was the one with all the info would like for me to pass their name along, I am more than willing. If you don't want to post on here I will more than gladly give you an email address to reach me at, if that's allowed on here. Hopefully we can raise some awareness to this situation. 

Thank you for doing this!  I would encourage that reporter to contact an employment lawyer as well who can explain the law regarding terminating whistleblowers.
