I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but when is the first night of TC? Is it tonight?

Hilarious!! I agree, and I still don't understand the weight warning thing. Are there pics of her where weight shows? I briefly skimmed pics of her throughout the season and I couldn't see anything of concern, but then I'm not invested in their weight so they all look great to me, relatively speaking. I think she's just absolutely drop-dead gorgeous.

If I could have Marshall do my hair just ONCE I'd be a new woman.

It's always curious to me, I've watched it happen over years of reading your posts, but whenever this board gets going on a legitimate criticism, or a true insider shows up, or you guys even ponder the appearance of impropriety, someone invariably, mysteriously shows up to smack it to the ground. Almost like there's some reason behind it.......

VK Kaime O'Teeter Kalli Fullerton Megan Flaherty Miranda....the list goes on.

He fosters a child? I love him even more. What a sweet man. Bet he's an amazing papa. I don't have IG but I'm sure he handled it with style and grace. And like Rita Hayworth, gave good face. That was a Madonna reference, BTW. I am in stitches over here. Thank you.

oops!

haha! Well, I've been a lurker here for quite a little while, and I am all here for the drivel! But like I said, I don't expect anything but corporate-spun snow jobs and smarmy spin from this organization, and I've yet to be disappointed.

LOL I loved Auto Amy, I can't help it. I heard that attitude thing about Keyra but I didn't ever know if it was just talk or if it was truth. My first choice would be to see VK grow and learn from her experiences and bring a better version of herself forth. It'll be interesting to see how it happens. I wonder when they'll have a press release about show dates and times. I don't like the Thursday thing, I miss when they had it on Fridays.

Completely. The very basic expectations aren't even met. Great point.

I think you touched on it quite well. And may I ride on your coattails for a moment: not only nepotism, but blatant favoritism and inequality at the expense of substance and what is right. When we talk about WOC being left out of the equation and talk about the door being held for VK, when I read between the lines, I see, "so you'll hold a spot for a blonde blue eyed legacy who treats people like shit, packs on the pounds and can't dance or use waterproof mascara, but Keyra and Auto Amy were too (insert excuse here)?". I don't hate VK, but I completely see why people do, and the DCC and co brought all of this on themselves.

hopefully she'll relish it.

I think that the Dallas Cowboys club has showed us who they are, and yet we don't want to believe them. They boldly demonstrate their core values: Fight, win, be better, do more, work harder, be tough, suck it up, defend the brand, guard the brand, spin the brand, believe in the brand, give everything you are to the brand. They've demonstrated without apology (and even with a meddling force) what they value in the projection of their DCC image: be attractive, be young, thin, feminine, submissive, fit in but don't blend, be subservient, be loyal, don't tell brand secrets, be precocious to the point of sass appeal, but not to the point of speaking ones truth. They've demonstrated their leadership styles: Tell it like it is, demand more, don't coddle, don't babysit, obey the rules, insist upon absolutes, yes ma'am. Nowhere in these values or behaviors is there even the pretense of betterment of people of color, of understanding and compassion, of truth and honesty, of lawful and ethical business practices, of the evolution of women's roles beyond show pony and school marm. They make absolutely no attempt to touch on these things, and unless it suits their brand, they won't. I stopped expecting it ages ago. It's eye candy, but I don't respect them and always chuckle a bit when the truth comes out about their various behind-the-scenes misdeeds.

Like Beetlejuice. Or Candyman. Or Freddie Krueger. Or the Cracken. Or Bloody Mary. 😀
