Victoria should watch this video and others of similar, or better, quality dancing, take notes, and apply those notes to her own dancing.  But then, we know that she won't do anything of the sort.  Her technique is bad enough that she obviously wasn't paying attention to her teachers or their critiques.

Well, Kelli decided that she deserves SG over Jalyn and Erin who are both amazing dancers who can actually get professional gigs without relying on their mommies’ connections. How would VK ever believe she’s anything but amazing when that’s what she’s been told her whole life?

I liked Bridget’s responses. We got some behind the scenes clips. Honestly, they should be encouraged to share that kind of stuff, as well as their solos. How many times do we need to hear about the amazing calendar shoot and community outreach, the abbey bear and pinky ring, the groups etc?

Savannah is coming back she has been doing dcc prep with a lot of the girls 

I like her ... guess I will always root for the underdog ... and I know its a long shot but I have my fingers crossed she can get to show group as this most likely will be her last year. Hopefully prep classes will get her there

Considering Hannah and Erin are older they should have more technique ... I like to watch Victoria do the lyrical pieces and she will grow as these lovely ladies did also .. I'm only 5'4 and would kill for long legs like that LOL!!

She’s nice and I’m sure she’s good at appearances, but SG? She’s one of the weakest dancers, so if they dared to remove Jalyn but give Savvanah a spot... well, i have no words for this. She’s a nice person but not good enough for what SG is supposed to be. Then again, it’s not like SG is actually learning different combos now so I guess, why not?

Technique isn’t something you pick up after 18... if anything, it’s really hard especially if you spent most of your childhood/adolescence with poor technique. I know you meant well and I will give VK the fact that she’s really feeling it when she dances, which is what draws some people in -although, I find her constant grinning over emotional pieces quite inappropriate. However, this is a bit insulting to the girls who are extremely talented at lyrical-Erin and Lacey being two great examples, as they both struggled with power/dcc style precisely because they’re so flawless at lyrical and ballet.

Technique should be something you're learning from the moment you step foot into your first class.  It is something that should be CONSTANTLY practiced and refined.   Age is only a small part of things and, frankly, there are girls who are MUCH younger than Victoria who have impeccable technique because they put in the work.  From what I've seen of Victoria's dancing, she hasn't put in the work to really hone her technique and improve on it.  If she went on other auditions, she most likely wouldn't make it past the first round as there are too many better dancers.

A gal on one of the FB fan pages said she knew her, and asked her how it went.  VK told her that she had decided to focus on DCC instead.  No indication if she was asked or not.

Yes actually, I’d rather have her do a tutorial on how she gets her hair to look like that ( pre-curling). She looks much better with her straight hair too. 

Honestly, I get how they do their hair and makeup, it’s not much different than any of the tutorials you can find on youtube. BUT I want to know how they get their make up and hair to last throughout the game. Are they allowed to go back and fix them?

Yes, her technique is probably adequate for the majority of DCC routines and without her shenanigans the first year she tried out, she probably could have made DCC on her own just fine last year. The real problem is TPTB trying to convince us that she's all that and a slice of chocolate cheesecake to the world of dance and DCC.

To TPTB: Please just let her be a DCC without pushing her out there and trying to convince us she's the bestest of the bestest already. You're not doing her any favours.

I have lots of friends that have favorite bible verses. It’s not unusual, weird or anything else. 

I think it is great to get a fresh change of scenery... & Btw---I love wild flowers! And I'm in GA & it feel it is fine to be in ur car travelling down the road IMO it is the same as being in the house really...I don't know of a virus that can penetrate thru car doors! Lol --Glad u got to see the wildflowers! And I too have a couple fave verses....looks like we have alot in common! Oh and u love DCC just like me! I don't know u, but hey we do share a lot of the same viewpoints! So grateful for this board! I'm completely obsessed with DCC and MTT.

You can buy it just like she does. I find it extremely annoying that she doesn’t mention how much of her hair is extensions. 

I try to like Rachel W and think she would fit in the diamond. Maybe not triangle, but a diamond.

something though just comes off so snooty condescending and false with her though, and that whistle in her baby voice is super annoying.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as hair extensions until this TV show and they started pulling them out at makeover.   I guess I'm living a very sheltered life.

I always knew about hair extensions but it was only recently that I realized how many regular people I know wear them. It actually made me feel a lot better about myself lol, I used to think all these women had just naturally amazing hair.

Nothing wrong whatsoever with extensions, wigs, dye, fake lashes, veneers, boob job, whatever, just wrong to me when people deny them or act like they are all 💯 natural. 

You can kind of see when she shows how to clip the back her lines. 

She’s def a pageant girl who goes all out with the glam but ladies don’t think you can’t look more like this and that she woke up like that.

Well to be fair, all of them have something fake on them (boobs, nose, hair, eyelashes) and are covered in makeup and hair products. I don’t think it’s just Rachel.

Oh I'm sure Kelli will be talking about that on the new season - how this affected poor Victoria, never mind the other rookies.  Seriously though, Kelli, as well as others, will be walking a fine line between poor us and explaining what all was affected.  If they don't watch what they say and how they say it, they will come off as sounding out of touch or selfish.

It will be very interesting to see how the whole situation will be handled, not just the banquet, but the calendar and all the other end-of-year events.  I suspect that Kelli has essentially released the squad to do what they will until Finals, partially because of Heather moving back to Arizona.  If there was going to be ANYTHING that required Heather to be there, she wouldn't have left until she'd completed all her duties.  She's just that type of girl.

I agree that Kelli will be attempting to spin this.  She strikes me as the type of person that HATES, absolutely HATES, being thwarted and COVID-19 has thwarted her plans for the end of the year as well as auditions.  I'm also curious as to how they're going to do ROTY and VOTY and how they're going to present it.  Victoria's practically a lock for ROTY (though Amanda, Kelcey or Chandi should get it), but I'm not sure who's going to get VOTY.

On Rachel's IG story, she shows the empty room and says no more long distance relationship and tags Heather's boyfriend.  She's from Arizona and retiring, nothing going on in DCC land right now.

Yeah I never said it was just her. Rachel veers into the Sydney and Lacey level of high maintenance, but none of them - or me either hahaha - wake up like that. My point is no need to act like we think we’re trolls over Rachels hair when it is store bought. Buy you some too if that’s the look you want.

It will be interesting to see what fun facts she shares. All the other girls talked about past achievements, college, college pom squads, major, roommates,current jobs etc. what is she going to say? “I wiggled my way into dcc stuff i shouldn’t be allowed to based on age requirements, i graduated high school and now I’m saying I’m studying in college and aunt kelli gave me a job with cowboysfit (with what qualifications i’m wondering) just so that people wouldn’t bully me again about not being up to normal dcc standards”.

Mine too... she should have had a much better dcc career. Kelli pointed her out after her rookie season so clearly she was good enough and it sucks that she was punished for being matured and sharing a potential ‘threat’ to dcc instead of waiting to see if anything will actually happen. So essentially, after stepping into a leadership position during her first year, she missed out on GL, triangle (much better choice than tess, amy and even lexie), probowl, and definitely a 5th year just because Kelli is a weirdo. Now instead of having a polished, well spoken 5th year, we have Tess who got lucky with her whole rookie class being scattered early and Maddie who well... i keep remembering her awkward interview with kelli and i cringe every time.

Maybe they will have banquet over zoom just to announce the winners let’s say, and then have a special ceremony over summer for rookies, since all of them are reauditioning. Of course that means that if any of them is cut, she will be robbed of her dcc pinky presentation and that does seem a bit unfair.

I agree, we shouldn’t be compare ourselves to their dcc appearances, but all of them look stunning in their no makeup pics (like from the dcc campout). Yes, we’re not going to look like their performance-ready looks when we wake up, but they’re all still stunning. Also, they all have fake hair and they don’t look as good. I also have very thin straight hair like Rachel so i understand why she has extensions for volume -she wouldn’t be able to do a single hair flip otherwise.

i’m also annoyed by the way she speaks, as she is still very pageant-y. I’d take this over the million “like” we get out of almost every other girl who tries to form a sentence, the annoyingly fast and cheery way certain others are speaking (which is fake as well), or the “i have no words” and “it was just wow”. Most of these girls can’t really speak in a mature way, which is why I appreciated JennK as a spokesperson so much. I know she’s not a favorite but i’ve seen some of her insta lives/videos and she is incredible.

Still don't get where TPTB where going with that decision. The only "threat" was the one done to her, not the DCC.

Allie and Selina cuts I understood. They HAD gotten overweight, but I am still perplexed by Heather H's early removal. I'll have to be reminded of what happened to Mandy Voecks, but I wish she had stuck around. She was so beautiful. Kelsey and Maggie were so fun to watch  and also had happy personalities. I understand Cersten won't ever be the most popular one on these boards, but girl could dance. And dance well. Tasha had a family and DID stick around for 3 years but yeah wouldn't have minded if she were around for another year or two. Khalyn did well and it also is nice getting some more diversity in the squad. Milan, Yuko and Kelli I never followed that closely. Oh yeah, and Jessika was there ...

The story goes that she was another who gained weight.  Kelli wanted to film "the talk" she had with her about weight prior to auditions, Mandy didn't like it & didn't want it to be aired (who would?) and quit.

You essentially read my mind with your last paragraph.

There were a couple that I watched where the DCC just kept saying the same word. For example, when asked how they felt coming back after being cut from TCC: “It was like really hard...like, yeah...really just...hard. So um, yeah, like, it was really hard for me.” I’m paraphrasing and perhaps exaggerating a tiny bit (but not much). Maybe they should get a thesaurus with their pinkie rings? I did think Amanda did well during her IG takeover.

I’ve said this before on here, but Kelli really needs to incorporate public speaking (or even just elocution) sessions in with media training and etiquette lessons. Who cares if they can eat French onion soup properly during a charity dinner if they are unable to hold a coherent conversation with their table mates. They should all have to attend Toastmasters as a rookie class bonding session, lol.  I’d totally watch that on MTT.

I know it’s an unpopular opinion on here, but I totally agree with you on JennK. 

Definitely. I remember Molly and Gina being pulled up during their test interviews because they used definitely far too much. 

I think the main problem is that they're told what they can and can't say, which makes them all sound the same! They're probably provided with go-to, pre-prepared answers for different topics. God forbid they have knowledge on a topical subject and are unable to share their opinions!
