I think that should clear it up. I know I’ve seen speculation that Judy and Kelly wouldn’t allow Kat her natural hair and forced her to wear a wig.

What is a MIL suite? I've never heard of it

Mother In Law suite - in my case, it was just a nice size bedroom with it's own bathroom on the other side of my house.  So awesome when my parents would come to visit!   That way they had a little more space to themselves and didn't have to worry about waking up the rest of the house if they got up super early, etc.

As for for rent can someone tell me what the rough rent prices in Texas area is please? Also whats the contract like? For example (I am from UK) and here in the UK, when you rent a property out it usually has a minimum stay of 6 months or 1 year contract and if IF you want to leave before the minimum term you need to pay out the rest of the contract eg if I take a 6 months contract out, and I decide to leave after 1 month I need to pay the rest of the 5 month contract up front to leave after 1 month.

This is super tricky to answer, because rents fluctuate wildly in the DFW area.  It's MASSIVE.  The Star is located in a northern suburb, Frisco.  The Stadium is in Arlington, which is a southern "mid-city."  I would assume a DCC would prefer to live close-ish to The Star, given that they take buses to games and traffic in DFW is horrific.  (And I say that as someone who has also lived in Seattle and travels frequently to LA.)  

There are also a TON of long-term Air B&B options in Frisco, Plano, Addison, North Dallas, etc. all optimal locations to get to The Star.  I owned my house in Plano (4 br with a pool) and sold it for $335k.  Dallas is still one of the cheapest large cities to live!  If a house like mine would rent for $2.5-3k a month, very reasonable for four DCC to get together to split.  

A two bedroom apartment would probably be about $2k, at least the newer ones that we typically see when the girls are featured.  That said, those are ALSO popular options on VRBO and Air B&B.  There is also a ton of corporate housing options in that area (The Star is close to the headquarters for Toyota, JCPenney, Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Yum Brands, Container Store, etc.)

I would think that even if they’re paying rent while staying with a host, it’s still better than taking out a lease for the girls who are only in Dallas for training camp. It’s much easier to have an agreement with a host where you may pay $600 (just an example) for as long as you stay, but you’re free to move back home if you get cut. It’s very difficult and often very expensive to get an apartment for less than 12 months, and getting cut from training camp is not typically going to be grounds for breaking the lease. So, temporarily staying with a host seems to be a much better option, IMO. 

Agreed!  And if they are friend of a friend type situations, I bet they're staying for considerably less.  There are probably a lot of DCC alumni and other people affiliated with the dance community that think it's part of their duty/mentorship/etc. to host these gals.

Going off topic a little I know. Ah ok I don't know why but I thought this mil suite you guys was talking about was some executive suite in a the star or at+t sadium or something!!!!

 

Ah whats the air b+b (and others) prices like in dfw even for a week, even the popular ones, like around 2k or more? I know here in the uk they can be a little more expensive because you are not physically tied to a permanent rental contract esp in certain weeks depending on events nearby etc. Damn either way its still expensive

Texas Stadium and Valley Ranch were at least both in Irving, which is one of the cities between Dallas and Fort Worth.  Still over ten miles apart, though!

The Star and AT&T Stadium are 36 miles apart, require your choice of toll roads, and are anywhere from 40 minutes to 90 minutes apart depending on traffic 🙂  

My guess is that Jerry picked whichever city gave him the most incentives, distance be damned.  IIRC correctly, Jerry lives in Highland Park (beautiful little enclave right in the middle of Dallas) and I think Charlotte might live in Preston Hallow?  I can't remember, though, and I imagine they also have a suite or two or ten at the complex at The Star.

Also, I am BEYOND READY for this eyelash extension trend to end.  VK looks ridiculous for many reasons besides it, but they just reminded me.  Looks like damn feathers on 90% of the people I see who get them.  Fake lashes as part of a dramatic make-up look, fantastic.  Even on game day.  For every day?  And for just pushing out a newborn?  (Seen that at least ten times.)  For pete's sake.

I’ve watched Ashley’s Tiktok a few times now and I’m sad to say I’m just not really impressed. She’s good but not show group triangle good. Adorable dimples but I’m not as wowed as everybody else. Wish I was. 

I have quite a few favorites from her rookie class i’d rather see in the triangle first, but I do think she’s better than anyone in the current triangle. I for sure think she needs one more season and that Bridget, Caroline, Jalyn, Alanna, Rachel, Amber or Hanna deserve a spot already. What a great rookie class!

Honestly, if done well it doesn’t look bad. Amanda’s looked amazing in the no-make up photos from the campout. VK’s were horrific in the insta story and a lot of these girls are overdoing it. It may look good during the games but not in everyday life, so why can’t they just add some fake lashes on the day of? Sounds cheaper too... i think their mistake is that they go for length, to the point where their lashes reach their forehead; it looks better when you just add volume (same goes for fake lashes as well).

I think the closest equivalent you have to a MIL suite would be a granny flat.  Most contain a living and sleeping area (sometimes combined), a bathroom, and a kitchenette or full kitchen.  They are intended to be self-contained apartments within a larger house.

Gosh that photo is not a photo!  It is so photo shopped!  I can't stand the eyelashes as well!  Has anyone noticed how big they made her sleeve to make her look skinny?  It's like they took the bottom half of a thinner DCC and put her top on top of it!!

I think her midsection is shopped as well as I SERIOUSLY doubt she is naturally that skinny at the moment.  Maybe if she was locked in a gym with only healthy food available (that she didn't have to cook herself) in the proper proportions, then she MIGHT eventually get there.

I went on her Instagram to see what the comments were, no one is calling out the obvious Photoshop. It's like a 14 year old trying facetune for the first time. It's mainly the eyes, but also the waist, you can see she's pulled it in making the sleeve look weird.

I don't mind her seeming a bit fake on the IG takeover, as I think it's hard to get the right line between seeming too pageanty fake and not gushing enough about GLs etc for K/J/C liking. I agree though that she spoke too much about DMD

She tweaked the left side of her body but didn't do the same to her right side.  The left side looks wonky and too "perfect" (including the sleeve) while the right side seems more "real".  You can see that her right side doesn't look quite as "taut" as her left side.  Now, that may be because of how she's standing, but I don't think so.  I think it's more of whatever filter/app/photoshop she's using.

Re: Kat

I didn’t want to like Kat based on auditions: she was ott goofy. She’s not the most trained and refined dancer but she sure brings a lot: gorgeous, fun, much more relaxed way of speaking, pokes fun at herself. And that smile. I thought her natural hair is  very pretty. I can understand wanting to protect it from all the product. I hope it is 110% her choice, though.

Don't get me wrong, I like Victoria. I think she is pretty and her smile, teeth and gum don't bother me one bit. She has a great spirit and positive vibe and she would have made the team any day. Her whole package is definitely DCC.

HOWEVER, she is not the best dancer, or a dancer that moves everyone to tears with her dancing. In my opinion there are DCC's that are much better dancers than Victoria but currently not in Show Group. This is the only issue with Victoria, and it is not even about her. The amount of nepotism on display when it comes to Victoria is breathtaking and it is obviously very disheartening to see it. A lot of people direct their anger towards Victoria and they shouldn't. They should be angry at the people making these decisions.

Like everybody, I think some of the girls are prettier than others, I think there are some who are not pretty in the least, but for every "me" there are probably 1,000 "anti-me"s who think my taste is full of crap.  IMO there is no need for them to bother with the digital "improvements," they are never going to appeal to everybody's tastes no matter what.  And if they are doing it for themselves because they don't think they're good enough the way they are, then that's really sad.
