I’m sure she will get a 2nd GL position in her 3rd year, but she is quite immature and doesn’t have prior team or instructor experience.

I thought someone said that she teaches classes at the school she always attended, so they could say she does have experience.

You mean like giving her Gina’s spot as a rookie, meaning that she was placed in front of one of their GLs who’s also a SG member and 4th year vet? 

Yep!  THIS is what made me think she's a possibility for 2GL.

Bridget was a captain in her team so honestly, she could have been a 2GL already this past season.

That's true too, it doesn't necessarily have to be about DCC tenure.

Jen was older and with lots of instructor/coaching experience

Once again, agreed!  In a leadership role, yes, sometimes age DOES matter.  Can a 20 year old be more mature than a 26 year old?  Sure, but I'd say it's more the exception than the rule.

Being a more senior member does not necessarily mean you are leader material ... there are those that can take direction and those that can give direction ... I'm not a dancer but I do teach aerobics  ... its a lot harder on the other side of the mic ... you have to know the routines and be able to execute them while guiding the members ... for DCC there is no mirror but the girls do depend on the leader and those in the front to help them... no matter what K&J say 🙄

Exactly!  Just like @dreamcatcher's point about Bridget, she absolutely could have been a 2GL in her 2nd year, but they went with seniority instead.  It will be interesting to see if they abandon that this year & go with Victoria.

I truly hope they don't award a klepto with a 2nd GL position.  That would be incredibly sad & hardly "first class".

I highly doubt they will give it to second year ... I dont even think Cassie got second GL until her 3rd (please correct if I am wrong)  and then group 4 leader her 4th year (season 6 I think) ...if there was any favoritism she would have been given group 1 ... again you have to be able to instruct and guide to be a leader not just look good in front of the group.  I am hoping Savannah gets at least 2nd leader most likely being her last year but again I don't know how strong she is at guiding she may be able to execute dancing just not teach them...who knows

I'm pulling for Savvy to get some sort of accolade, too. She seems to be reliable, selfless, genuine, and sweet.

One day I hope to be able to catch up to the "going's on". I have been super busy with work since the Pandemic.  If someone does not mind giving me a quick recap? 

• Who is retiring?
• ROTY?
• VOTY?
• Any other newsworthy news?

Thank you in advance.  I stopped by for a quick lunch break.  Now I am back to work.

Since they need to remain 6 feet apart, are they going to throw it to them 😂. I’m betting it will be filmed for the show

I saw...that's just stupid. They've never done a special on a current cheerleader. I guess they have plenty of footage of her as they used it for their indoctrination campaign the past 2 years... Yeah, I'll skip that one. 

 

Again, no issue with Victoria as a person (though the lies were heinous) my issue lies with the preferential treatment

Same.  In the beginning, I did try to give her a chance.  But the more they featured her, that option quickly waned and disappeared.

Not to mention that Victoria, only on the show for two seasons and on the team for one, got 38 minutes while KaShara, a four year vet, got 9. The nepotism is blatantly obvious and people still eat it up. I don’t get it, I really don’t

I actually really like Savannah. She’s one of the weaker dancers in DCC style, but she’s just a lovely human overall. She’s also very coachable and continually shows improvement. I think that’s why she made it over other TCC, and why she won TOTY.  I’m sure they liked the story line, but Tara was always a blender with short legs in my opinion. And I know it’s an unpopular one. lol. 

I love her! She's deff one of my favorites.

On the topic of those videos. I saw that there is a 40 odd minute one showing all uniform fittings. Why would they chose that for one of their first long videos?! It's basically a pervs paradise.

I mean, why would you do a “then and now” for a rookie? Brennan I’d understand, she is a vet and went through tc 3 times. But normally i’d expect such a video for alumnae or maybe 4-5th year vets. Seriously now, we know that she’s sticking around for at least 4 more years, why do they have to feature her that much from her rookie year?

Yeah seriously... who needs 38 minutes of a rookie? Especially someone who is ALWAYS featured. She’s not that much interesting, we get it, her whole life is dcc. Show me some of the girls who have interesting jobs, demanding degrees, who do charity work etc. not someone who has nothing else going on for her.

I was thinking the same thing about Vivian. Girl worked her "drumstick thighs" off to come back and earn a spot back in TC. I think she would've relished the opportunity and attempted to come back as a veteran.

Agreed. I've also always believed the poem thing was a set up by the producers. Either they suggested it or they encouraged it for good humiliation TV.

I think I’d prob like Vics loud, obnoxious personality if they didn’t shove her down our throats so much. Stop trying to make fetch happen and sell her as AMAZING.

Kat is prob the rookie who’d be the most fun to hang with and she’s all in your face goofy despite looking like a Barbie. But she isn’t shoved in our faces 25/7 as the most perfectest bestest dancer who ever danced. 

[M1977G]

I'm not saying it won't happen, but they would be beyond foolish to pick VK for 2GL over women who have been captains of their college and professional dance teams and cheer squads. Daphne (who I think Kelli's had her eye on for a leadership position), Bridget (who I've decided can't retire), Rachel A, Taylor J, and Ashlee (who I'm really* hoping gets 2GL this year or next) all are much more qualified in leadership and team positions than VK. Many more DCC also have more than 1 year's worth of experience on a professional dance team, not just as DCC vets but also on other college or pro teams (Hannah, Brianna, Savannah, Caroline, etc.) I see several of her rookie sisters being far more qualified to be decent 2GLs in year 2 than VK, again, based just off of team and leadership experience (esp. Chandi & Kelsey, 2 of my favorite rookies this year who I think both would be great DCC leaders down the line). I believe VK will be 2GL and GL someday, but I seriously am hoping TPTB can see she needs time to mature, learn how to be a good team mate (which requires more than high fives and going for facials together), and learn a lot more about how the DCC function first. I would think she'll be 2GL by year 3, but I'm hoping not before year 4. Like someone said above, can you imagine VK as a leader for 4-6 years??? 😵

Oops--that was supposed to say "college and pro teams"! DCC is Caroline's first pro team. She was a Golden Girl at Mizzou, like Amy Trader, another of my favorites. Both incredibly smart ladies, well-spoken, seemingly well-liked by teammates, beautiful, and fantastic dancers!

I think all they can see right now, is that it brings attention to the squad and to the show.  They are using VK and she doesn't care.  She has fans, fame and attention.  Also, I think Kelli is stubborn enough to do what she wants to do, whether it makes sense or not, cause there is no way she will let anybody tell her what she can and can not do.

She has already been given things on this squad that she did not earn. She would have been a 2gl last year if Kelli could have figured out how to do it and get away with it. Nothing smart or fair or even reasonable has been applied to Victoria's getting on this team. Kelli is waiting to retire until VK gets a little more experience and can become the director in her place!°

It is!!  That's why it's so sad to not be able to come here and talk about prelims and semis this year with everyone.

And according to Kelli, the show will begin at training camp/finals this year - her and Judy meeting the girls for the first time, the girls meeting each other.  So, that will be interesting to recap, snark and discuss.

Taryn and Brennan were two that should have made it that year while Christina and possibly (cough, probably) Savannah.  However, it seems that Tara and Savannah were a package deal that year because Kelli was hoping for another Danielle/Jasmine buddy story where they stayed for multiple years and Kelli could use them for a story-line whether they wanted to or not.

Taryn was gorgeous, sweet and a hard worker who would have improved over the years she was on the squad had she been given a chance.  Wasn't she also one that Kelli wished would reaudition or was there another girl?

When Jasmine was cut at finals going on her 4th year, Danielle was devastated. I remember her crying about how it wouldn't be the same, and how they came to Texas together. But when Tara was cut at TC going on her 2nd year I didn't see anything from Savannah on how devastated she was. Unless I missed something it seemed like their friendship wasn't solid.

Again, no Kalinas with this post. The top comment asks "Where's Victoria?".

 

I'm certainly not complaining that they're MIA. It's just unusual for them.

I'm just glad they showed some of the squad we haven't seen before.  Victoria doesn't have to (and shouldn't) be in everything the DCC puts on social media.  They probably asked for permission from everyone to see who responded yes (and that would be yes from the moms as well) and only posted the ones where they got permission from all parties involved.  We KNOW Tina would have said yes in a heartbeat so why they weren't featured (and were the first ones in line so they could be the first ones seen) is something I don't know.  I'm just glad they weren't in the line up anyway.  It's nice to see other girls besides Victoria.

[Nelliephant]

I think the problem is they treat VK like a 5th year vet. She falls out a turn during the finals, "we'll give her the benefit of the doubt", she gains weight, "we'll allow her the time to lose it", she says something stupid, "oh that's funny, she doesn't know that".

To Kelly maybe it is like a 5 year vet, more like a 17 year vet, she's seen her dance since she was a child. Only that's not the case. She hasn't seen her dance in pom, in a team, on a football field, all that time. She is a rookie, brand new to this, not even being on a college team.

She should be treated like any other rookie, her making a mistake in thunderstruck = bye she's gone, for a rookie. Making a mistake on thunderstruck for a 5 year vet = it's just a mistake, she's proven herself.

This isn't necessarily Victoria's fault, but it is Kelly's and the rest of the staff.

Thanks for listening again to drunk ramblings with Nellie, here every Wednesday and Sunday evening!

Just because she’s so TALL, of course. It just makes sense 😂 ETA...just occurred to me that Tess didn’t retire, and a triangle of Maddie up front flanked by Tess and VK could be a thing. I mean, Tess deserves be promoted, natch, so of course they need another tall girl to balance. Oh goodness.  Poor Lexie.

Also y’all, I am super tickled that Lexie and her momma favor each other so much. They’re just so Dallas. I miss it so. Sigh. The ability to fly without cooties can’t come soon enough! All the mom/daughter pics were great.
