So these are all causes near and dear to me 🙂 I was bullied in middle school and high school as well !!

I actually think that each of the 37 made it "about them" because each story is based on something close to them. I think helping young women deal with body image is a huge issue.

Exactly, and while she did take a lot of heat from people over her figure on social media, who caused that? Kelli did. Her mom's supposedly best friend exploited her weight gain for ratings. If they hadn't broadcasted it all over TV, then no one would be talking about it on social media. Hell, they don't just air it on the episode, they repost the clip on Facebook to get people to watch. They want people to talk about it, they encourage it, even. I agree it is a serious issue, Im just surprised anyone on the team, especially Victoria, would take it up. Victoria seems like the one who has drunk the most of K and C's Kool aid. It seems a little rebellious. Like a thinly veiled criticism of the organization's standards and methods.

I’m not a fan of hers, but I pray she doesn’t go down that path. I pray none of them go down that path. I know there’s been a lot of discussion about Daphne and Gina on social media about if they have eating disorders. I’ve kept quiet when it comes to those discussions because it’s something that I struggle with and I know what it’s like to be talked about by looking too skinny. But ever since there was a concern, I’ve kept them in my prayers and hoped everything is okay. That may sound stupid because I don’t know them personally. But trust me when I say it is one of the scariest things to go through not only for yourself, but for the people who love and care about you. 13 Link to comment
Erinbridget December 14, 2019 Share December 14, 2019 (edited) But all in all, I love that they’ve been doing this the past few years.

kalibean December 14, 2019 Share December 14, 2019 Body dysmorphia is definitely a thing, too, and it’s growing bounds thanks to platforms like Instagram. I follow a subreddit called Instagram Reality and it’s really sad how many gorgeous, fit women distort themselves to be thinner, prettier, etc. It feels a bit on the nose, but it’s a great cause. 2 Link to comment

VK would never slander the DCC, and it would never get past Kelli if she thought it made the org look bad. I think it was a carefully orchestrated choice. It fits in perfectly with Victoria's triumphant rise-like-a-phoenix redemption story line this year, and it makes the DCC look like they actually care about self body image issues. It's a win/win for everyone. Every season there's always some contrived segment about healthy eating or Cowboy Fit to show how much the DCC org cares about the health and well being of their ladies. I guess we're supposed to forget the countless times Kelli has drilled into our heads how if a TCC doesn't look good in the uniform, that's a reason she won't make the team. I think the irony escapes them. 10 Link to comment
