Where was VK when Dayton was cut? She cried uncontrollably in front of the cameras when her new bf was the first one cut, but she didn't even stay around when her life long friend was? Who does that? 

a fair weather friend?  

j/k

 

 

sort of.

If I were a fellow TCC, and I was sick of the crap going on with VK, and I was aware she had been warned about weight, and I saw her get a milk shake.....yeah, I would probably be catty enough to say something to another TCC.  I mean, you're stressed, tired, trying to make the team, and here is this gal who's been promised a spot and she's already taking it for granted.  I can see it being good locker room gossip, sorry to say.

agreed.

So they secretly followed her around and watched what she ordered?   Or were they with her pretending to be her friend and then reported back what she ordered to others later?   Sounds like two-faced mean girl behavior if you ask me.

So what if she had a milkshake after a 5 hour dance practice - weren’t all of them out getting pancakes at IHOP at 1:00am?

Probably -- they can see her dance in the studio and weight gain would be obvious or if they knew she had been counseled about her weight.

It might also be because if she was known as a "kiss up" they have been trying to get some payback.

I know it seems an awfully catty suggestion, but we are talking about a bunch of kids in a high-stress situation.

 

Just out of curosity, are you a friend of VK's?

Horrible lie?  Saying she went to a doctor appt when she didn’t?   If that’s really what it was, that’s hardly a horrible lie - a horrible lie is telling your spouse you aren’t cheating on them when you are, it’s saying you have a college degree when you don’t, it’s saying you’ve never been convicted of a crime when you haven’t, etc.

What really was the big awful consequence of VK’s lie?

I think the Cowboys doc being involved in VK’s weight gain reasons was out of line.   If they think she’s too heavy, cut her or give her more time to fix it - the possible medical reasons behind it really aren’t their business IMO.

If you lie about this "little stuff" you will probably have a tendency to excuse it and lie about big stuff -- who draws the line?  If you lie to an employer, the employer gets to draw the line.

No, it wasn't the Cowboys business until she made it their business by putting it out there -- they didn't have to offer to help but they did and then she lied about it and tried to throw another employee under the bus.

She thought that she had an "in" Kelly and Kitty fed that belief and she didn't take it seriously -- she thought she was dealing with Aunt Kelli not her boss, Charlotte.  

 

The Cowboys had every right to do what they did, no matter the circumstances -- bottom line -- if "you" don't like it -- don't participate -- there are other NFL and Basketball teams out there.

VK was twice seen stopping for a milkshake after rehearsal.  Just sayin . . .

and that's why I don't buy the Thyroid story -- further evidence was the second scoop of whipped cream on dessert when she went to dinner with Emma? and her husband.

You all are forgetting the worst part. Victoria would likely have made the team even with the weight had it not been for her horrible lie. 

and isn't that a scary thought -- she may have been the DCC's Malena.

I'm having a hard time believing this. I think Dayton genuinely struggled with the DCC style of dance and Kelli knew she wasn't going to adapt in time, so she cut her for both their sakes.

So did VK (I am of the belief that she should not have made into camp after falling out of her turn -- they cut a vet for kicking the wrong way for goodness sake)

 

As for trying to keep work and friendships separate, I get that but it doesn't explain Cassie or why VK was kept longer than Dayton after making repeated dance mistakes.

Like I said sad for all concerned with the exception of TK and not so much for Dayton because, dayaaam, if she didn't land on her feet.  :)

I can totally see this which makes my respect for kelli go into the toilet -- but why promise a slot to VK and not Dayton?  This makes me sad for everyone but TK.

New poster hereL  Just a couple of thoughts:

 

As far as “bad edits” that VK is getting — CMT would not be able to make them if there wasn’t the film there to use.

As far as Dayton goes - I think she comes across as very sincere but her dancing never set me on fire.  I also happen to think that she had the RC gig in the works before auditions.  I am sure that the RC auditions take time, were scheduled way in advance and she was “hedging her bets.”

I also believe that the “fix was in” as far as Dayton goes — I can not imagine continuing to work for an organization after my daughter was treated so shabbily without knowing about in advance and while I appreciate ShellyB’s comments, I also believe that they are self edited knowing that TPTB read this forum.  I also discount her saying that she did not know the cut was coming — she works for the organization, she is there all the time and if she did not get a head’s up, all the more reason to put the organization in my rear view mirror.

As far TK goes — she lost me when she referred to a TCC candidate as “grandma.”  That was beyond being thoughtless.  Kelli, Charlotte, and Judy have to know that these shows are watched by the candidates and I can’t imagine how hurt that girl was when she heard that — its one thing to having your dancing is one thing criticized by your looks (dance 10, looks 3 anyone?) is another.

I think this entire episode has done more damage to Kelli’s image than VK.  As other posters have put out there, she has had blinders on before, but pushing what you want to see over the reality staring you in the face and cutting down other judges because they dare to say that the emperors has no clothes is a bit much.  I also think that it undercuts Judy to a certain degree — it is obvious that Judy has a better eye for dancers and the discrediting of her opinion has to sting.  

As far as Malena goes?  WTF?  You invite a girl into camp that you know was not even allowed on the field because she had no memory.  That was done strictly for story and was was unfair.  

Finally, if Kellie told her daughter not to try out — she should have extended the same advice to both ShellyB and TK in order to preserve credibility and friendships.  The fact that this board is steamed about this season and the tryouts of VK and Dayton is probably only a small reflection of what is going on in DCC world.

Finally, I don’t blame Charlotte — her team, her brand, her call.  She is the one writing the checks.
