Check out the blonde in the lower right of the screen; she clearly notices VK's mistake and brings one of her hands up to her head and places the other on her hip. Looks clear to me she's reacitng to VK. The hair doesn't look long/thick enough to be Judy; any idea who it could be? Would TK be allowed on the field? 

Maybe it's that other Shelly we've seen on the show that was always helping with kick line? By the time stamps she's clearly reacting at the moment that VK starts to stumble and lose balance (and before she pops up early).

Ok so let me clarify:  TK was asked if she was willing to switch on short notice and said yes if needed. However the decision to switch was with Judy and Kelli.  There is a difference is being ask about switching and actually making the decision.  I will be more specific in the future if needed. 

My inside sources says this is not correct information. 

So WTF was TK who is not on the team even considered to be consulted as to where Lil Precious would be switched to and why was she even given an option? Yeah this doesn’t make me any more sympathetic toward any of them.

I trust my sources and you could ask the same question of the person who posts comments about "how the rest of the team feel".  There is on way to know who is being truthful or who might have a hidden agenda.  Each reader needs to decide what they believe.  I would just question when someone only posts negative stuff about a specific person on the team.  I at least have tried to comment on a variety of topics and will continue to try and do that.  

As I have noted, this is not what my sources are saying.  It seems that you only receive negative information about VK.  None of the other 36 create problems, have issues or have disagreements?  I think you sources are over blowing the situation because they know you will post here. 

I have asked the question to others before !! 

[pinkandsparkly13]

There's been plenty of talk about other girls possibly having bad attitudes or being entitled or being mean girls, etc. Like others have said, I'm sure they don't all get along all the time or love each other, even though that's the image they might want them to project.

Yeah. Them asking TK is just bizarre. Do they ask the other DCC mothers if they can be moved up in the triangle?

In some ways, I feel Kelli is in a tough spot. She's the boss of her best friend's daughter.  I understand trying to keep the friendship intact by offering a few more benefits, but she's compromising the team in doing so. I can't see how it wouldn't make for a difficult work environment for the rest of the DCC.

That said, at some point Victoria will move on. And Kelli will keep having her favorites. Despite the talk of a mass exodus, Victoria is not going to kill the team. They survived Cassie; they'll survive her.

Totally ridiculous that they are discussing VK's spot with her mother. My boss doesnt call my mother to discuss my role with the company. They seem to be absolutely hell bent on creating as toxic an environment as they possibly can. They are only making things worse for Victoria, by feeding resentment towards her.

OMG!!! I accidentally typed TK not VK!! It was supposed to be VK.

I wonder how the facebook fans would react if they demoted Maddie from point for Victoria next year? They are both big favorites in that group

Not yet.  I think it's at the next game?  I really hope Heather gets Pro Bowl. From everything I've seen of her, Heather sounds genuine and I think she has earned the opportunity.  She would be a great representative of the team.

It’s been cleared up that she meant VK instead of TK, but even so...

IMO, what makes it different is that TK has had the job before, held the job with the current manager, and has been brought in for her opinion way before VK was ready to try out.  There’s plenty of precedence to have outside peeps and alumni give their opinions.  And TK in theory should be extra influential in helping VK get her shit together, because she does have good potential if she’ll grow up. 
 

It’s awkward AF for sure, but not a clean analogy bc most of us don’t have this situation in our workplaces.  The difference to me is that VK is held to a different standard than Dayton was, and VK doesn’t seem as grateful for the extra opportunities. She should be a humble teammate, work her ass off, etc. 

My biggest fear when I’m in a position that someone else had influence in me getting, be it arranging a coffee date, a recommendation, etc, is that they might regret it later. I’m going to work doubly hard so that person doesn’t ever think they made a mistake putting in a good word. I just haven’t seen that with VK, and Kelli was disappointed last year because of VK’s flip attitude. I just don’t get why it still seems to be happening.

If I said what I thought about the "War of the Insiders", I'd be in TROUBLE, so I'm keeping my mouth shut on it.   I'm more interested to know what TPTB are saying about Victoria's mistakes, ones I don't remember her making while in Gina's spot.  Her timing, her falling off balance, and her coming up early SHOULDN'T have happened when she's been performing that same routine for months now.  Yes, she was in a new spot, but, if she's as good as Kelli and Tina are telling us she is, that shouldn't have phased her and she would have been perfect with just a few rehearsals on the day of and that's if Kelli and Judy waited until the absolute last moment to finalize the formations.  I doubt they would have and likely would have been thinking about the NEXT game as soon as the Thanksgiving Day game was over.  I wouldn't be surprised if they ran rehearsals for the new spots as soon as the next practice.  

I wonder who the blonde is who was reacting to Victoria's mistakes.  We've already got The Other Shelley and Judy.  Any other guesses because I'm all out.

Look at the very front of the triangle, where Amy is. Then count over to the left 1, 2, 3. That is VK, popping up before everyone else.

Thank you! And wowza I bet auntie K was conveniently looking elsewhere & didn’t see it. That was quite the mistake it’s unfortunate for Veruca the internet is forever despite tptb efforts to make it go away...  as someone above said they’ll prob just awww bless her early heart...

It was like watching “whack a mole” with the head pop. 😂

I thought Bridget looked great!  Thank you, Judy, for giving her the opportunity.  I've been hoping for this for a long time.  I only wish the choreo had been better but I'll take what I can get.

After watching it several times, I kind of split-screened my vision since Amy & Bridget are next to one another, and found Amy's dancing looked flat in comparison.

From what I have heard from multiple sources is that VK is hands-down the most disliked person on the squad.  But of course if the girls do anything at all that VK perceives as even slightly negative toward her, she runs to TK who runs to Kelli who then disciplines the "offender" in some way or another.  And thus they're forced to kiss up to her and just grouse behind the scenes at all the favoritism one of the least talented dancers on the squad receives

probably not true. Check VK instagram. All current and alumni love her

Is VK the only rookie in these clips?  Would have looked to have seen Amanda!  Feeling VK saturation and it’s only her rookie year.  Is she still towards the front and center of all formations?  How has technique improved?

Well, someone on IG commented that she fell out of a turn, so they will probably pull this video as well

She’s not front and center on the Hough piece and it looked awkward. She’s not significantly taller than the other girls, but lacks the pop so her height sticks out more. I’m six feet tall so those thing likely stick out more to me tho. 
 

I like VK okay in an ensemble and thought she was fine for the team, but SG and these focus pieces blow my mind.

I think this could be Jalyn’s final season with the DCC. She is an awesome dancer and how come she is never showcased in these type of dance video/clips? (DCC in motion) I am pissed off for her! It’s bad enough she was cut from show-group this year, even with more members who made it than in past years. 

She is also hidden in Thunderstruck compared to last year. Also, is it me or I don’t see her post much on social media with other girls on the squad in their down time? 

I want so bad for her to stay another season or more, but if she doesn’t retire on her own after this season, no doubt I see TPTB find some reason to cut her at auditions.

VK has been in two of these clips. So has Caroline, Gina and Rachel. There are plenty of other dancers so I'm not sure why they wouldn't showcase some of the other girls.

 I think VK looks fine here but sometimes it looks like its really hard for her to move those long, long legs around. Takes a lot more effort I guess - but that effort shows which I think leads to her heaviness in style.

Meredith isn't on show group, and she was in a video.  Why can't they feature other vets who aren't on show group?

I hope she does retire so they don’t have a chance to cut her or push her back more. Her and Gina both. Also Heather.

Rookie Taylor was in the first one (the red dress).  Also I don’t think Notre Dame Madeline is in SG and she was in that first clip too.

Who knows how they pick who is in these clips, but it may be that some girls just want to do them more than others.   Like I’d imagine a scenario where they ask who’s interested and are only picking from a smaller set of girls with interest in the style and exposure, not the entire squad.

Gina did nothing specific to get in the dog house.  Word on the street is TK and VK and doing their best to pick off anyone they see as a challenge to VK. Delusional to think she’s even on the same realm as some of the targets.

Amy is so lackluster compared to that whole group of second years - Caroline, Amber, daphne, Hannah, Brianna, Bridget, Jalyn, Ashlee, Rachel, Erin, etc. 

Actually, the whole triangle/diamond with Maddie, Tess, Lexie, Amy, is dead boring. Drink some Red Bull go old school and snort some coke 😆😆😆 y’all got no pep in your step.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

I've noticed for some time the difference between squad comments on Victoria's page versus others like Heather's or Bridget's.  Seems several recently jumped on Vic's page for appearance's sake.  Maybe due to the various comments about Vic's Thunder blunder & trying to make her feel loved? 

Why don't we see more IG posts of Victoria with her close current squad BFFs?  I always see plenty of photos shared on the other girl's accounts.  Other than Sam Finglass or Dayton (and even those not much lately), I don't recall seeing many if any, on Victoria's page.  Kind of odd.  🤷‍♀️

First, thanks,  Second, I do not think that VK will be "point" next year.  VK is a strong performer, however there are vets who have more experience and are just as strong who will get preference.  I would consider Maddie and Gina as 1 and 2 for that position.
