I really liked the addition of Charm. Her comments were funny but not mean. And I can’t believe I’m saying this but Charm and Melissa were funny in the discussion.

I’m just getting to watch and I can’t believe Victoria fell. It had nothing to do with that Pom. Her center of gravity was off and she was already on her way down when she stepped on the Pom. No one else that would do that would get invited to semis. Sometimes it’s just easier to give the squeaky wheel what she wants, even if it means a more deserving person doesnt move up. It isn’t fair but the whole world works this way.

Well I took a hiatus from this board when season 13 ended but now I’ve missed a ton of stuff! I went back and tried to catch up but I have some questions if you wouldn’t mind answering: Malena- What happened? She was Kelly’s pet project last year and was 2nd to the last cute. How far did she get in the audition process? I feel like they built her up then just left her. I know her cut last year was dramatic but putting it in context, she quit a good job for this team after Kelly said,”there’s no reason why you couldn’t make this team” in an office visit. Tara- I missed the story about why she was really cut. Something to do with VK and she let herself go on purpose? That seems like an invitation to get cut. I guess thats all my questions. It’s good to be back!

Well darn. Thank you, Scorpio!

Does anyone know if Tara, the vet that got cut, came back to auditions this year? I really wanted her to come back.

Does anyone know if Tara is reauditioning? I haven't been on here in awhile so sorry if it's already been discussed. I really liked her and I thought they were insane for cutting her. maybe there was stuff that wasn't on the show that would have made it more obvious but I really liked her. And the way she handled herself afterwards.

The only people I see that still "like" her stuff is Tara and Kehra. It just gets trashier and trashier. I just can't imagine that this is truly what she had in mind when she set out on this...endeavor. It's skanky. I've often been shocked at what she is wearing...or isn't wearing, and wanted to post a pic but then never got around to it. just as creepy are the comments. One guy keeps calling her Earth Angel. Tons more comments are sexual. Once in awhile you'll get someone being honest and saying she looks like she on drugs or how bad she looks. I've though about unfollowing her but the bad person in me is entertained by this fall from grace.

This sort changes the subject but it's relevant to social media. Has anyone noticed Kalyssa's insta lately? It's more and more nude stuff and I swear it is photoshopped to make her legs look longer. In the pics she looks 6 feet tall. I don't know why I care except she was my favorite rookie and I just don't think what she is doing now looks like a step up. I'm betting she pays for a ton of those trips and shoots. One pic she was totally nude in but her # said "bikini". Lol. One commenter told her to put on some clothes. It wouldn't surprise me if she started hashtagging playboy so she can get in their magazine. My thoughts on why Lauren wasn't one of the 4 picked have to do with her amazing abs. If she was on stage I imagine everyone would be gushing over her abs and that would be annoying if it grabbed attention over Megan Trainor.

I had to wait and watch the finale on the CMT app. I tried to watch the show in real time but every 4 seconds the audio would go out and it was so annoying and I couldn't figure out what was being said so I gave up. Melena's cut was hard to watch. They did her a disservices keeping her that long and getting her hopes up. And Lily....are you kidding me? I can't believe they cut her when she was never called into the office. I could read Lily's mind. So not fair for VK to get 4 or 5 office visits and Lily didn't have any before her cut. She can't improve on something if she's unaware she needs to fix it. I have a question. Does anyone know out of the rookie class, how many of them made the team on their first attempt?

Well if there's one thing DCC does, it's ensuring that you marry well. That alone is probably worth the low pay. ? My DVR recorded another year of DCC and I watched it today. It was season 8 and the episode where Chelsea gets cut for her bad attitude and making a joke out of 5 or 6 of them getting put on weight watch. I was pretty shocked that she was kept on the team after Kitty witnessed her being mouthy about it to teammates in the parking lot. Then a few days later she was cut. I think if that happened now she would have been cut right away. I feel like Kelli has gotten stricter the last few seasons. Or at least that is how CMT edits it. It also seems like the girls are a lot prettier than they used to be. Not that they weren't pretty before. They are drop dead gorgeous but it just seems like the past couple of years they come to training camp pretty much "ready for a uniform".

Speaking of "me too"... one of her favorite interviews was with Matt Lauer? ? At first I thought I was reading an obituary and not a wedding announcement. I've never see one that read like an obituary before.

I'll probably get flamed for this but it was tough watching VK's cut, although I think she lasted too long. Her not wanting to go home and tell her mom says volumes about the pressure she was under from home to make the team. I really think a year from now when she makes the team (because we all know she will come back and make the team at some point), she will reflect that getting cut was the best thing that could have happened to her. It will teach her humility and empathy for future TCC's who are going through the process. I really think she will mature from that experience and learn that nepotism doesn't always work out in your favor.

Lol Me too!!

Tara showed so much class and grace when she said she was not going to say goodbye because she was planning on going to the games to watch her former team mates. Now THAT is someone you want on your team. She could have been really angry and said something she would regret but she didn't. She's a real woman.

I did the Ideal Protein Diet that is supervised by my doctor. I had to undergo chemotherapy 2 years ago when I was 45. I had absolutely no signs of menopause when I started and my hormone levels checked a few months prior where that of a 25 year old. Unfortunately when you are in your 40's, chemotherapy drugs age your ovaries 10 years and it put me in early menopause. I quickly gained 25 pounds. I've never looked so awful. In April I was at an all time high of 176 pounds. I started that diet and by mid July I was at 145 pounds. It really gets rid of the perimenopausal abdominal obesity/fat that is so common. It's a ketogenic diet except it's low fat and not high fat.
