Despite the generous edit on CMT, I saw enough that corroborated the insider’s stories about her.  YMMV. 

Well said and I completely agree. 

Ah yes, the Lone Rangers riding to her rescue. 

Her "white knights".

Yes she gained weight in training camp, but all that stuff about her lying and blaming Jinelle and tattling on others has not been.  It’s mostly rumors on here that people can chose to believe or not believe.

At least two insiders who consistently post reliable spoilers have confirmed this to be true.  Aside from that, if it weren't true, then the conversation that was shown between Kelli, Jinelle and Victoria would make absolutely no sense.  I get that people want to defend Victoria, but this is for sure one place she screwed up big time.

So then should we start referring her to as Scout?

If she didn't have an issue - why would she (Victoria herself) entertain questions posed to her regarding her thyroid on her IG.

Um . . . just a guess but to try and cover her ass and try and convince people that she didn’t lie (when she clearly did).

She’s far from being the sharpest tool in the shed.

IIRC - in the meeting, she was asked about her weight gain. Yet - nothing about a possible thyroid condition was mentioned, until the issue with appointment and Jinelle was "leaked" here - correct? 

If her "thyroid" was only mentioned here (and not shown on the show) - isn't she like fueling the fire, regarding the truth about her "lie?"

I also LOL at anyone who believes a nutritionist can prescribe meds and if someone had a condition - would stop taking the meds.

Its not going to be VK 🙄 but for all the pouting about her ... at least she is there because she wants to and not a user can we say Kalyssa  or quitters Alexandria or Milan ... I dont get why you go through camp take a spot someone else would have love to have and then leave?  BTW did Mandy actually finish her rookie year ???

Thanks for the laugh. One of the best defenses of Vic yet -- she stayed the whole year -- woohoo, what a rock star!

What's next? "She's the best -- she didn't blow out her knee like that slacker Gina."

At least one of those insiders said VK studio hopped and that the Kalinas were super wealthy.   When both things have been proven false.  So keep that in mind.

The only thing clear in that meeting was that VK did not reply to texts Jinelle sent her regarding setting up or going to an apt w/ a nutritionist (assume worst case it was going).    Kelli was upset that VK didn’t respond to her and take her help.  Then VK said that stuff about her not wanting help from Jinelle cause she never had a weight issue.   Jinelle said if you didn’t want you should have just said so and then VK apologized.

If the thyroid stuff is all stemming from something on her instagram, what does that even have to do with DCC or Jinelle?

And none of the stuff about tattling has ever even been close to being confirmed on the show.

It was leaked here that she lied about a missed appointment for her thyroid before anything aired. It was never stated on air that the appointment was regarding a thyroid issue, but later, when asked, Victoria confirmed it was a thyroid issue on instagram. If the insiders here are making stuff up out of thin air, then they sure made a lucky guess.

It was stated that she was teaching at her to pay for her lessons because the family could not afford them. I dont believe that. I believe she taught there, but not because her family is one step up from poverty snd she had to teach for the money. I think it is more likely she taught because she wanted too, for the experience. I would think that teaching would be good experience for someone wanting to pursue a dance career. Maybe she wants to have her own studio someday, like Amy.

Someone asked Victoria about her thyroid on IG and Victoria herself responded that she does have this condition,  but that she stopped taking her medication because it made her sick. We got the thyroid info right from her mouth, so here is the verification.

Ok, I want to be clear that this topic is supposed to be for what its title entails: current squad and their social media. This is not a catch-all stream of consciousness topic.

Commentary about the DCC organization, reruns on Pluto TV, women who used to be on the DCC, all have their own topics and do not belong in here. 

It is also not a stage for petty squabbles. It’s ok if someone likes someone you don’t like— and vice versa.

Victoria looked a tad thick (by DCC standards) in her videos last March, and was much thinner by auditions in May.  I think she's taking appetite suppressants and possibly did a quick weight loss diet.

To be fair, MOST of the girls on the team are staying thin through unhealthy means. I wish some news organization would do an expose or something on it.

I'm not so sure about that. There are quite a few posts on here about girls looking "thick" or "puffy" in uniform when they've maybe gained a 1/2 pound or it's just normal monthly fluctuations (or, more importantly, they happen to be exhaling during a pic 😲). Of course, if the "standard" wasn't set so low by the TPTB & normal weight was more the norm, those comments probably wouldn't be so prevalent here.

Does anyone have a list of the TCCs that got cut last year? I can't remember some of them as certain ones got more airtime than others!

I agree. I can’t imagine the pressure of maintaining whatever magic number TPTB come up with and also feeling confident in the uniform.  On top of that, maintaining perfection under the microscope of critical fans who look for the slightest hint of pudge or “flab”.

I know it’s what they sign up for and this isn’t unique to cheerleading/DCC, but it still makes me a little sad for them.

Thank you! 

I think I'd like Gina Marie, Shaina, Bret and Madeline S to try out again and hopefully make it. Gina Marie and Madeline S just needed more time in the DCC style and I thought Bret and Shaina should've made it. I can understand if Shaina doesn't come back though.

Ashley and Julia just give me bitchy vibes, like most of the Mavs dancers do. Alexandra seems lovely and has potential but probably needs to accept that after 5 years, this might not be the path for her. I don't even remember Lauren at all.

I'd also love Katy from UCLA to try out again. She had all the attributes to be a DCC, provided she can keep her weight maintained. 

[parrotfeathers]

Losing weight by unhealthy means--Back in my day dexatrim was the go to appetite suppressant.  I've never weighed over 120 and am 5'7" but even I wanted to lose weight and took it.  For some reason I wanted to weigh 113.  I remember how fast it made by heart beat.  I was so disappointed when they took it off the market.  It wasn't until later I realized how dangerous it really was.

My friends and I all took metabolife when it had ephedra in it. We were so pissed when ephedra was banned. No joke, I had a friend who used to crush and snort them. She said they worked better that way.

IMO it's perfectly fine to say "I want to be a newscaster after I retire."  It is not fine to say "I want to be a DCC so I can use that as a stepping stone to becoming a newscaster."  Still admitting you have goals after DCC (which...no duh!) without saying that you are using the DCC to achieve your goals.
 

 

Exactly...... and if she wants to be a journalist/broadcaster, she might want to learn to watch how she phrases things....

Total speculation here.  But when you get your spot - the 37th spot - because you are more than likely Kelli's girl crush, and you don't appear to have the skills/talent necessary - you won't easily fit in.  Plus, as an "alternate", it's not as though she got to form a bond with the other girls.  She seemed to be kind of on the outside of everything.

Kelli has become so helpful to girls like Meredith and Victoria.  I can see girls at future auditions thinking, please like me - sort of - kind of - let me fly under the radar - thank you.

You're correct. I couldn't remember which were the two at the time, that's why I put somewhat announced. 

[cherryblossom]

On the weight loss topic, my college roommate always struggled with weight which I believe was further exacerbated by life events. Apparently probably 20 years later she tried Phen Phen which caused cardiac arrhythmias & dysfunction.  It was probably 15 years later I caught up with her. She spoke wistfully & with pride about how good she looked after taking Phen Phen . Then she became a cardiac cripple requiring constant O2.  She died much too young just for the fleeting time she looked thin.
