  1. Or so they say when it comes to getting the correct bra-sizes. However, if you go to a decent store with expert consultants, they'll laugh at that, give you one good look and hand you sizes you'd never dream of trying on yourself. And guess what? They always fit! Talking from my own experience here, I was absolutely baffled when the consultant told me told me I'd definitely needed one size up, maybe two, but she was right! And gone are the days of painful, ill-fitting bras. (I have tried this in 4 stores btw!) So please all, do yourselves a favour, pop into a lingerie store next time you see one and have your size checked!
  2. All I saw when I first got to see this picture was Rachel's gorilla-pose with those long blue front sleeves/paws... I simply cannot "unsee' it, which is a shame as I really like her...
  3. This may be an unpopular opinion here (as the general consensus seems to be that Jenna threw Holly under the bus to save her own skin) but I think Holly's forced resignation was due to her own misbehaviour then flat-out lying to TPTB and that cocky attitude after (I am not sorry for what I did)... Jenna probably survived for another year because out of those three (Holly, Jenna, Erica) she was the only one who seemed to have expressed some humbleness and said she was sorry. Some question whether that was sincere but Jenna's life was DCC and all she had, so I truly believe that she understood she had to change.We all know how Kelli loves power and hates to be contradicted or defied... And frankly, Kelli really could not afford to lose another powerhouse dancer that season. It was a disastrous season, for more reasons than one, but that triangle still puts a smile to my face!
  4. The problem with the internet is that posted stuff is going to ‘live’ for ever. Even a short lived video, post or picture may be screen-shot, reposted, retweeted or whatever within seconds and once that happens, you’re out of control. The consequences may not affect you until years from now. When I look at Marissa’s post I see an accident waiting to happen as there is a thin line between silly and flat-out stupid. A DDC is a public person, in the spotlights and therefore vulnerable. So for the sake of those girls,I hope there is a smart social media person monitoring and coaching... (
  5. We already figured out that Kelli’s definition of world class slightly differs from most people. May I suggest a whole new class/league of their own? Star Class doesn’t do ‘justice’ I think... Cowboy Class maybe? Or would that be too offensive to real working cowboys and western lovers? Yeah, the more I think about it, the better I like the “we are a cowboy class dance team”...

    Mykelti

    Wow...that picture about the name reveal gives me a whole lot of “bad vibes!”Makes me wonder when Tony last showered, used some shampoo and had a decent hair cut? We do not all look like Barbie and Ken, most definitely not them, which is perfectly ok. But when I look at recent pictures of him and Mykelti, Tony just radiates neglect and lack of personal hygiene...or am I too harsh here?
  7. Thanks all for the response and criticism, I know it sounded a bit harsh and I would like to apologise for those in their 20s amongst us who feel offended. But... I did not refer to you guys in general! Neither did I imply that there is something wrong in pursuing your dreams nor living for a bit like vanillagum suggested. I did that, you need to develop and mature as a person and get some life experience too. So please do! So...my comment was specifically Emily-related. I admire her relentless pursuit of dreams, but at some point, after years of trying (she first tried out in 2013), it is time to stop, evaluate and change directions whether it is popping babies, find a different job, start your own business or get a new degree, I don't care. Just move on. Guess that is what bothers me, as I really really do not see her as a world class actress with those facial expression-issues. Those snake eyes or frozen faces...
  8. Reading about her new ‘career’ makes me kinda sad. She tried out for DCC twice (I think?) didn’t make it and then moves on to acting, singing? Why do I get the feeling that she needs a wake up call and finally grow up? Do something useful with the time you have on this planet and stop chasing young girls’ dreams of fame! It’s not happening...if she had the x-factor, her time on DCCMTT and the odd little acting job would have rocket-launched her straight into Hollywood a long time ago. Even the alumni’s who went straight to the altar and the maternity ward and never work anymore do a better job in building a solid life. Sorry for the little rant, just hate it when people (seem to) waste their lives on impossible goals/dreams.
  9. I wish they'd show more of the interviews and written tests. They were interesting and sometimes quite funny. I highly doubt they'll have the lengthy interesting conversations with sponsors etc as Kelli claims but I do get that you do not want to have people on the squad who could embarrass the Cowboys with ridiculous answers about random facts that are common knowledge (either in football or life or America in general). The notorious 50-yards in a football field comes to mind and president "O'Biden" (can't remember who said that). If Ashlee couldn't even explain the US-flag... well... even I can do that and am not even American! They're there to dance, true, but a lot of these questions are elementary school level at best!
  10. That shot of Kashara and Maddie perfectly highlights why one was an amazing outstanding point and the other .... well not. Kash radiates and draws attention and Maddie stands there wishing she could hide in a cupboard!
  11. I truly do not understand how you can produce a world class dance show without having the proper, original, music in place... that is sooo wrong! And bad.... I remember watching my first season and being confused about the choreos. They seemed “off” and not a good fit for the songs, and it wasn’t until I found this forum that I realised why.
  12. I always try to look at things from both sides and not to judge, which can be hard to do... When it comes to Covid and the lock-down the most sensible thing seems to be extremely cautious/lock yourself away in your house. Yet at the same time I can see why a lot of people struggle to stick to the rules, especially when you are from an area where Covid hardly claims any victims, and/or you only know people with (very) mild symptoms. I teach high school classes and this is one of the discussions I recently had with my students. I try not to be harsh and condemning,unless it is someone deliberating flaunting the rules whilst obviously sick and running a fever for instance. On a personal note but for different reasons: it seems sooo easy to just postpone your wedding (till God knows when) but I can tell from experience it is not. We decided to get married eventually but with a very limited number of people. And till this day, years later, we stand by this decision but there is this annoying, nagging voice in the back of my mind that keeps saying "my wedding day has not been what I envisioned and I cannot change a damn thing about it..." And that is something I will probably regret till the day I die... I wish Danielle all the best and a very happy future❤️
  13. It intrigued me too! Any insider who can shed some light on this? I gave it some thought and maybe she had a more prominent position in the original (planned) triangle during training camp with Jenna as point before she messed up? That would explain her promotion to point... just a guess really... are there any photos of the squad with Jenna as point that summer btw? I’m glad they did put her there tho, as I just loved her as point. It’s a personality thing I guess... the way she radiated showmanship and fun.
  14. I agree that they can be incredibly uncomfortable and/or cruel but.... after all those seasons they should know there is a fair chance of being roasted on (inter)national tv when you sign up for DCC MTT... (can they refuse on being featured btw? Some TCC’s get all the attention and others are barely shown)
  15. I remember one where Kelli asked whether they were "Man made or God given?" which I thought was extremely funny...
  16. So...I watched the Game Day Pandemic version that was posted here the other day. But what I see as an absolute ignorant person who just loves to see people dance and does not know a thing about technique, it is not...that good..is it? I get that's not easy on the touchdown decks and dance in a straight line but still... Knowing what the DCC were capable of not too long ago? Why do I have this gut feeling that the squad of, let's say 3,4 or 5 years ago, would have done a much better performance? Feel free to disagree, but I am just not used to seeing them not in sync, off beat, making so many mistakes etc...
  17. It took me quite some time to figure out that they were using first and middle names and not their last names! I'd never really given a thought about their second names until I got confused with references to Jenna Lene and Jenna Jackson. Wait... did she get married? Or changed her last name? I know, it sounds so stupid when I think about it now!
  18. Regarding Danielle vs Jenn for pro bowl; I find it highly unlikely that all votes, or almost all votes, go to 1 single person in a team of 36. It just does not make sense statistically, and logically. We did not get to see the votes and for all we know, it may have been a pretty close call between the two of them, with Jenn winning. It would not surprise me if TPTB do a little pre-selection; pro bowl does not go to rookies or "junior" vets. Girls that are in the dog house or seriously messed up, won't get it either (which is why Jenna dit not get it, I think). When it comes to the actual voting, I am sure other factors come into place that influences their decision like loyalty to their present, and past group leaders in addition to popularity and/or friendship. But these are just my thoughts...
  19. I'm not from the USA and could often not see content from other websites posted here due to international restrictions. The same for the CMT website, which led you to a youtube page. I now have a VPN installed and if I switch to US I can see it all. So for all my fellow non-US residents, it's worth the try😉
  20. Hi all, first time poster, after following y'all for a long time... I always loved Jenna, maybe because her rookie season was the first I ever watched. In my opinion, you saw a young girl walking in, and a young woman walking out six years later. I was sorry to see "her downfall" am sure she would have been an awesome point. And maybe she hasn't handled everything the way she should have, but...neither have I! It's all part of life/growing up. Emily...yes she was amazing and I felt sad she was cut twice. But when I think of her eyes, I think of several "unlucky" Breelan shots on the big screen. That screen, and particularly the close ups, would have done her no good.
