Kelli is on a mission to prove how wrong we are about VK. She's also mortified that it got out that VK was promised a spot and is trying hard to disprove that. But, you all are right, the editing only seems to confirm it at every step.

I heard that Christina had a bit of a melt down about not being further up in the photo. I wonder how TPTB dealt with that. (personally, I think one of the reasons she was so far back is that they see how ridiculous her boob job looks). Also, if you want to see what a douche Tyce is, just watch the documentary "Every Little Step" about the casting for the Broadway revival of "A Chorus Line." Tyce was a finalist for one of the roles, but got cut because of his outrageous arrogance. When doing the final dance audition along with two other finalists, he changed the choreo just to show off. He also came across as ridiculous in his interviews.

Oh yeah, everyone is scared to death that they're going to somehow offend VK. They're all walking on eggshells. Christina should be thanking her lucky stars she's even on the team. She is the worst dancer in the room (by far) -- and everyone knows it. I'm still shocked they took her back this year.

Yeah, her homophobia would be particularly welcome with many of the fans!

Jalyn’s cut was to send a message to others not to in any way question or criticize VK.

And, sadly, still is. I hear she’s even worse now that she’s been given a spot on the team. #illegitimatedcc

I’m surprised Lisa made it. She looks questionable in the uniform and a total mean girl. She is very much disliked by her former Mav teammates. Just shows how weak this year’s rookies are.

I know she hurt her arm. Btw, she wasn’t cut because of the accident.

Julia was well-liked. They really rallied around her after her car accident.

If the girls vote for ROTY, she’s got no shot. They kiss her ass to stay in Kelli’s good graces, but behind the scenes, VK is despised.

I didn’t say both added diversity.

Neither Meredith nor Kat made the team. They are alternates kept around for diversity and so the all-important reality show can have some drama.

Sorry, but watch those early seasons again and you'll see just how much better they were then. In those days, a dancers like VK and Christina would have NEVER made the team, and a dancer like Amy would have NEVER been made point. It's sad how far they've fallen.

Dance-wise, this is the weakest the team has been in a really long time. I hope they can turn it around next year, but I fear nothing will change as long as the team forms the basis of a reality television show.

Yep, Shelly said none were currently on weight warning, but I find that hard to believe given how a couple of them look. I also know that two vets were on weight warning at the beginning of training camp.

Victoria is not treated like a rookie, and she sure doesn't act like one (a fact that has annoyed a number of the other girls).

I'm afraid I don't, sorry!

Exactly. It’s a handful of girls just letting off steam behind the scenes (as most of us do privately with co-workers)

I can't help it -- every time I see pictures of her I just have the theme song from Mr. Ed start playing in my head.

I'm afraid I can't take credit for the #illegitimateDCC -- it was coined by some of the current squad members to describe VK. And yes (although I can't believe I have to clarify this) nobody is saying she was an illegitimate child, just that she obtained a spot on the squad that she didn't deserve.

Apparently for now she’s set her eyes on moving up in the pyramid.

That’s true. But for the weight gain, she’d be a vet this year.

Actually, I was told that not only did VK blow off the doctor's appointment, but she lied and said he had gone. When Jinelle learned the truth, that's when VK got so nasty and tried to throw her under the bus. Imagine what would have happened if ANY other TCC candidate had behaved in that way?

Good thing for VK that her mom and Kelli met on those escalators -- otherwise, she would have NEVER made the team given her poor technique and history of lying about medical conditions. #illegitimateDCC

Shelly doesn't always know.
