That scene where Cassie called out Taylor was the first time I remember feeling absolute disgust watching the show. For one thing, no other vet would have been allowed to do that, yet Judy encouraged Cassie to expand upon her frustrations. Then, when Taylor tried to defend herself, she was shut down and told that's not the appropriate way to respond. So freaking ridiculous on every level.

Amen. Textbook example of horrible management.

Yes, Olivia ran afoul of no-lip Cassie, who then ran to mommy and promptly got Olivia dismissed. You'll note it wasn't shown on MTT as they knew they had not rational justification for it. Edited to add: Seriously, the girl has NO LIPS: https://images.app.goo.gl/YDpc7QBy6ciVXVxY7

Nice to see which ones read this forum. 🙂

Teeth -- no boobs, no waist. Not a single DCC has commented on Kristin's post -- it's pretty rare for that to happen. Shows you how well thought of she is by her teammates. Poor thing. Edited to add: About 30 minutes after I posted this, Erin commented.

Exactly. Pull up a squad photo from ten years ago and compare it to the current crop, and you’ll be shocked at the difference in appearance of the girls.

At one point, she had a blog that had a lengthy post about her dismissal. She sounded pretty bitter and suggested it was designed to play out for maximum drama. I think she had to take it down as there was some behind the scenes things in there.

Such a great point! It seems to me that Lisa and VK are the least liked on the squad. We get why VK is kept around—it’s the same reason she made the team in the first place. But Lisa? I think she’s there solely for diversity.

She still lists “Former DCC” on her social media profiles. Kinda sad IMO given the amount of times that’s passed and she only did it for one season. I

She needs a NECK! When you’re short and squaty, you don’t pose for photos with your chin down.

😂

Yeah, I can't believe she is serious. Those are ridiculously bad.

Agree! That was the "golden age" of MTT -- before it became all about BS reality show drama. Actually, I think Chelsea's surprise cut was the first example of reality BS. However, she was also a poor dancer who I thought should never have made it to begin with (she also seemed like a Marissa -- someone who is all about the attention). But the way in which she was cut seemed orchestrated to enhance the drama of it all.

I’m sure that’s true for many, but for those who find her views repugnant, it undermines the integrity of the organization that they’d use her as an ambassador for the brand. I agree. I loved her and miss her! Can someone help Lisa find her neck? She looks like an evil hobbit.

I disagree. Her intolerant homophobic views hurt the organization.

Yeah. While you can photoshop a picture to make her look good or, you can catch her at just the right angle, overall she’s got a look that’s hard on the eyes. And you’re right, whoever taught her to do her makeup should be ashamed of themselves.

I don’t think VK will ever be point. Kelli knows on some level that her dancing is just not up to snuff and, if they put her there, it’ll highlight for everyone watching just how weak she is.

I agree. I like her look. I thought she looked particularly good in some of the training camp/social media videos she did recently.

Kelli doesn't think Gina is pretty enough to be point (it's the same thing that held Jinelle back in the triangle).

This is me being petty (which I'm acknowledging), but I hope it doesn't air. Given the shitty, shitty way they treated the girls this cycle along with the rude, entitled attitudes of the squad's resident "mean girls" (which of course would be edited out), I think it would serve them all right to not have this season see the light of day.

I might be more amenable to this argument if those Christians were following all the dictates of the Bible and not just those that happen to align with their own prejudices. To me, that is homophobia: https://www.salon.com/2014/05/31/11_kinds_of_bible_verses_christians_love_to_ignore_partner/

If you followed a religion that said Blacks are “less desirable,” would you still be a racist? Um, yeah. You would. Using religion to excuse your homophia doesn’t make you any less of a bigot.

Bottom line: Kelli can’t justify cutting any vet for dance ability so long as she keeps VK, whose dancing is mediocre at best.

I laughed so hard at this line -- good one!

I’m SURE that she’s made known her interest and availability for DWTS. But I would imagine that’s stretching the definition of “star” way too much to justify.
