2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp

In previous years the girls had 1st round, semis, panel interviews and finals to get to know each other. This year they met 1st day of camp, the closeness is manufactured and it shows. U can see they barely know each other and don’t share a common experience.  

I don’t think it seems fake at all. They all knew for about 2 months before training camp. I’m sure they exchanged numbers and talked to each other during that time. I highly doubt they just showed up, day of, and never spoke. But hey, that’s just me.

A few random questions/thoughts:

1. Does anyone know what happened with Ashlinn? She seems to be amazing so far and she has only received positive feedback.

2. What happened with Jalyn? She went from being a favorite her rookie year and now it seems like K&J don't like her? Is it just because of how she reacted to getting cut from SG?

3. Did something happen with Caroline? Kashara wanted her to be point so I'm surprised she isn't splitting it with Maddie.

4. When did Rachel W become one of the power-house dancers? I don't remember her getting much positive feedback on the show?

5. Why is Savannah not on SG? She's farther up in the triangle than Victoria, Chandi, and Kelcey which doesn't really make sense?

I would love to get other opinions and input on these, but I'll take a swing at answering these based on my best educated guesses:

1. No idea - Could be a variety of things, poor media day performance, the vets don't like her (or poor locker room behavior). the guest choreographers could dislike her, something could happen at home where she needs to leave camp. We also know someone in the bubble had covid - could be potentially related. I am just throwing out answers here. we will have to see it play out on the show. 

2. I heard on this forum that Jalyn and Victoria had an issue. Not sure if this is why, but I do remember in her office visit after she was cut from show group that she mentioned "I was upset that maybe something had happened outside of the studio that changed Yall's opinions of me." So clearly there is something going on that is not dance related. 

3. I've said it before and I'll say it again - they will always have two different looking points if they have two girls split point. If you notice the two girls behind maddie in the triangle are both blondes and the two girls behind Rachel W or Amy are both brunettes. They mix up hair color to make them pop. This past season they clearly prioritized seniority putting Amy and Maddie up as points so I really don't think Caroline had a shot. She may have a shot to split it with Rachel next season if maddie retires. I also think that scene with KaShara was heavily edited byt CMT.. so who knows if she really even chose Caroline. She could have said something like "if you want to go on seniority then pick Amy, but if you want the best dancer then caroline" and them not have even showed the whole conversation. 

4. Rachel W is not a powerhouse dancer. She is drop dead gorgeous and cannot take a bad picture. I'd describe her dancing as graceful (not a bad thing). She is almost certainly point because she is so pretty and she seems to be a big DCC rule follower and doesn't speak up much which they seem to like. I also think it helped her that the signature routine is only on video this season and she had a fan base and status prior to coming to DCC. 

5. Savannah is not the best technical dancer and they seem to want great dancers for Show group. There are usually exceptions for Upper Vets and I'm kind of surprised they didn't put her on for her fourth season just because of seniority. I'd say her position in the triangle is seniority based.

I'm not sure but that is why production was halted. The bubble safety was compromised so everyone went home and they cut the remainder of the team by zoom (including Hannah). This is info I got from Hannah's insta post about her cut.

I was just mentioning how during a normal try-out the girls spend hours and hours together, seeing each other learn the dance, auditioning together in small groups, facing the judges together. I would think its way more of a bonding experience then maybe a bit of facetime and/or texting🤷🏼‍♀️

Finally had a chance to watch the 2nd episode.  Posting this here in case it's considered a spoiler to say now I get why some have been posting the season is proving a bit boring thus far.  I really wish the veterans had joined them in episode two.

I would have chosen these 17 for SG... Personally I don't think rookies should be able to be on SG.

6. Savannah
7. Jalyn
8. Cianna
9. Amber

There are very few DCC who I remember exist less than I remember Amber. Nothing about her is memorable. The only thing I remember about her is wondering why she was traveling so much during the pandemic.

Veterans That I Am Cutting:

1. Daphne
2. Kat
3. Lisa (for weight)
4. Meredith

I am on the fence on rookies like Marissa, Jessica, and Tori. Jessica and Tori because I haven't seen more from them and Marissa because she is a good dancer but she is way too young and too immature. Veterans that I am on the fence about are Taylor, Cici, Kristin, Madeline M, and Savannah. Cici for weight and the rest for being weak dancers. In terms of Show Group, I do think that rookies should not be in Show Group and have the All-Stars who were on Show Group at one point fill in if someone on SG has to step down. But in terms of who I'd pick, girls that come to mind are...

1. Alanna
2. Amanda
3. Amber
4. Ashlee
5. Caroline
6. Chandi
7. Cici
8. Erin

It’s really too bad that Amber didn’t get more screen time her rookie year because she’s a fabulous dancer. For me, she’s right up there with Caroline and Ashlee (and Bridget 😭) from her rookie class.

Truth! She is a great dancer, which I think is why they don’t interview her a lot. They want “drama.” The only time they focused on her was when she flunked media day. Truly frustrating.  

[ATLGirl]

Okay, I have a confession to make. I'm 52 and not "with it" in terms of current styles, cosmetics, hair styles, etc. But when I was watching that 15-minute compilation of the audition videos, I kept staring at their eyebrows. How much time does it take to get your eyebrows to look like that? Is it now a "thing" to have them so perfectly shaped and sculpted? If so, I'm glad I'm old and don't have to take the time to figure out how to get mine to look like that. It would take me all day! 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks! interesting they shut down production then because at that point in the pandemic they could have gotten that second test back quickly and not sent everyone home. I mean if they say their safety protocols were enough then a second test is an automatic check in other bubbles. The participants are tested frequently and then if a positive is found, they halt for not more than 24 hours to wait for confirmation. Just weird to shut down for a true false positive. (not arguing with you!! - just questioning DCC)

They probably had to make her do the nasal type test and have it be sent out for confirmation

I would say that their safety protocols weren't as safe as they claimed and they were afraid to be called out on it.  Plus, I think at that point, it was almost time for the bubble to end anyway.

Yeah and every state is different too I guess. Here in NC (I'm a nurse), we test in the hospital with the nasal ones and can get them back within 6 hours. But we are associated with a university lab for quick turnaround. I guess DCC didn't have the connections or set up for that type of thing (unlike other true bubbles). Too bad - especially for the last cuts.

Doesn't Kelli have a phone glued to her hand, using it to record East Texas feedback? Why should Judy text Hailey? Maybe I am blowing this out of proportion but I see it as a horrible power trip. When Kelli asks Judy to text Hailey, Kelli is not involved in anything, she just waits for Judy to text, she just sits there.

I asked the Mods (and any one else who wanted to comment) in a post a day or so ago, should we just post here and not have the episodes threads for this year. It may be been voted or discussed a while ago.

Part of the enjoyment was posters commenting during the episode , but the consensuses seems to be not to watch the show live anymore . Since we are so far in the NFL season (ie we already know who made the team - so its really no need to guess the possible permutations of how to keep 49 dancers when the max is 36)  and the shorten training camp, current episodes thread have taken on a whole new meaning. Which is nothing is current.

Good eyebrows enhance your face...and are not difficult to achieve....Some are born with brows that just need to tweeze for strays (my daughter has those)...some need a real overhaul from a professional, but once that's done the upkeep is usually fairly easy if you are consistent...some of these girls use microblading or tattooing (both done by a professional)...I'm 68 and take god care of mine...however, my punishment for no gray hair on my head is my brows & lashes are turning white.

The eyebrow talk reminds me of when Jordan Chanley had her comma shaped ones refined during her rookie makeover. Good call👍🏼

All of the eyebrow talk reminds me of the makeover scene in "A League of Their Own"...Dottie & Kit are approved immediately, then the girl after them is critiqued with "Brows, thin & separate; there should be TWO!"

So is Haley staying in the bubble?  Can’t imagine her staying in the rooms at that Gaylord DCC designated tower.  Are thee VIP rooms fro Kelli, Judy, and Kelli?  Are the girls in the standard budget ones?  Are the accommodations and meals sponsored?  How are the girls fed and treated?

Oh no they definitely do. We had some girls commenting as well, but the latest case in point is Marissa’s videos being taken down when we started criticizing them. And it wasnt the first time this has happened.

And this is the reason I don’t consider them world class just really, really good😂. To bring on a weak dancer just due to looks, and there have been many over the years, diminishes the rest of the dancers talent. 

Well let’s be real, they are only there to be eye candies. It’s easy to find good (and even great) dancers with good looks. But when you have a top notch dancer like Gina and you sideline her due to her looks but put Lexie and Rachel upfront... Yeah the team isn’t about dancing obviously. And I have nothing against Rachel as a dcc (as a person, well...) BUT as much as she improved after her rookie season, she really isn’t powerful or “sparkly” enough to be point. She just photographs well.

Marissa is over the rope she is one of those that gives the impression she is dancing as a team but makes her moves just enough different she stands out aka Holly P, Erica 

Don’t you dare compare Holly and Erica to this! Well I’m kinda joking. But Holly was actually dumbing doing her dancing during her group performances and was blending really well with the others. As with Erica, I don’t recall her adding moves or straying in any way. Aaand also, Marissa could only wish she could be at their level dance wise. She’s not terrible but she’s not on their level in any way.

I'm curious as to who you all think will retire after this season? 

My list of possibilities is: 

Tess

Gina - probably not but who knows.. she already has had SG and been a GL... it's not likely she'll get point or pro-bowl so she might as well give it up

Maddie 

Cianna - cut from SG .. signals issues

Jalyn - didn't make it back on SG and potentially humiliated over it on the show.. constantly punished for unknown reasons

Kristen - Talked about negatively.. made to "dance for her life"

Briana - Talked about negatively.. made to "dance for her life"

Lexie 

Savannah

Rachel A

Alanna - maybe not, but she is really close with Lily.. so i'm sure that upset her. K&J never give her anything too special. 

I know its a super weird season to end on.. but it probably has been even more stress than usual and who knows if 2021 will end up being any better. I wouldn't be surprised if we had some shocker retirements too that I didn't consider.

Briana will retire for sure imo. She was extremely vocal about her opinion on Brennan and Hannah’s cuts, if she goes back for a 4th season she will be cut for sure. Tess for me will retire and Gina should do as she isn’t getting a better position in the triangle and certainly won’t get pbc. Although, if she’s happy with her GL status, I could see her doing another season to get to 5 years and do a normal round as GL.

And well I hope Maddie retires. We had three years of her in the triangle, I can’t endure more.

Can't speak for anyone else but that isn't why I don't like Marissa.  She can dance okay (I've seen better), but I find some of her moves jerky.  The main reason she doesn't fly with me is I cannot get past how fugly she is.  Period.  That grimace of hers when she smiles big looks like she has constipation.  Plus her Mom and her Mom's friends during their times infiltrating various DCC discussion groups really put me off.  I hope Marissa is a one and done.  She cannot be gone soon enough.

That’s exactly how I feel. She’s an ok dancer but in order to dance big she comes off a bit spastic. And well, with that face (excuse me but, oh well), I expected someone at Gina’s level or even beyond. I can’t believe we lost Hannah, who may not be everyone’s cup of tea but she was sexy as hell AND an amazing dancer... and we got this instead.

A few random questions/thoughts:

1. Does anyone know what happened with Ashlinn? She seems to be amazing so far and she has only received positive feedback.

2. What happened with Jalyn? She went from being a favorite her rookie year and now it seems like K&J don't like her? Is it just because of how she reacted to getting cut from SG?

3. Did something happen with Caroline? Kashara wanted her to be point so I'm surprised she isn't splitting it with Maddie.

4. When did Rachel W become one of the power-house dancers? I don't remember her getting much positive feedback on the show?

5. Why is Savannah not on SG? She's farther up in the triangle than Victoria, Chandi, and Kelcey which doesn't really make sense?

I want to answer 4&5. Rachel isn’t powerful enough to be point. While I’m happy we got someone extremely photogenic after having Amy and Maddie share point... She’s not strong enough to be up there and it’s a shame when we still have girls that have both the looks and the dance ability.

As for 5, Savannah isn’t a good dancer, period. SG shouldn’t be about seniority and it’s bad enough that GLs automatically get it. Which in normal circumstances is fine because GLs used to be the top of the top and now it’s more about “hmm who do we have left from the upper classes? Wait who is that extremely tall brunette whose head looks to big for her body? Tess? We had a Tess on the team? For the past 4 years? Really? Well she can be a GL i guess”. But yeah they shouldn’t be adding all upper vets to the mix as well just because they haven’t decided to leave yet.

I’m pretty sure Amber’s Instagram says she graduated law school. I think she’s not shown much on the show so she can practice law and be a DCC. I’m sure if she was featured they would have said something to embarrass her that her boss wouldn’t approve of.

I hope not for Maddie’s sake, especially not mid season. Someone I know who had a boob job had to wear sports bras for ages to help them and apparently it’s part of post recovery? They don’t wear bras under their training attire and obviously can’t go wearing a sports bra on game day. She’d be wasting her money

Yep. I think that’s part of it. I have YouTubeTv, which recently added CMT, so I recorded it and watched it later. Also, the show changed to a new day, looks different, and is airing much later in the year than it usually does. There’s a reason why shows tend to air on the same days/times and season. People have habits, and when networks change too many things, they can lose people. Although, other programs have had ratings issues this year as well, so some of it is probably covid related if the ratings are down. It’s just an odd year. People’s routines are completely different than they were in March.

Any body know if the TCC who postponed taking the studying for taking the CPA exam, resumed her studies ?

Anybody know if DCC Lisa is working as a Bio-med engineer ?

Wait who is that extremely tall brunette whose head looks to big for her body? Tess? We had a Tess on the team? For the past 4 years? Really? Well she can be a GL i guess”. But yeah they shouldn’t be adding all upper vets to the mix as well just because they haven’t decided to leave yet.

Exactly re the head.....I don't like her look AT ALL.  And (this probably isn't her fault) but I think they should have left her hair curly.  If it is so curly that you can't straighten the hairline, don't wear it straight.

Someone on Reddit said Maddie had breast enhancement done recently.  I have no idea if this is true.

And what would her church say about that?  If she wears her bolt ons with grace that's ok?  hahahaha just be a smarta$$ on that.  If you will be a happier person if you get a little plastic surgery, go for it!

If it had been a common procedure when I was young I probably would have done it too.

I’m pretty sure Amber’s Instagram says she graduated law school. I think she’s not shown much on the show so she can practice law and be a DCC. I’m sure if she was featured they would have said something to embarrass her that her boss wouldn’t approve of. 

I think Amber is currently pursuing a master's degree at a law school. She posted about it back in July.

Ellis was the TCC who was taking the CPA exam. I'm not sure but I hope so. According to this article, Lisa was working as a medical scribe when she was on the Mavs, and from what I remember from DCC takeovers she's doing something similar now.

Being a medical scribe does not require an engineering degree, but I think she mentioned that she eventually wants to go to PT school. So, this may be a good way for her to gain healthcare experience while she's a pro dancer. I know some pre-med students choose to scribe during college to gain experience for their applications.

I watched the first episode when it was free on CMT, but otherwise will not go out of my way to watch the rest of the season (and will definitely not purchase it).  This is coming from a former die-hard who owns nearly every season on iTunes and has watched religiously since Season 1.  Not only has COVID changed habits across the board, but I also feel that COVID has exposed K&J and this show in a way that I'm just not interested in supporting anymore.

Let me ask different way - Would it had been best not to air the MTT show at all this season b/c they had to make modifications due to COVID? Meaning sometimes nothing is better than something.

I guess the thought  was the show - ( ie ALL SHOWS) - when they were allowed to film again, were working in COVID, and other news stories of what happened in 2020, the  best way they could.. I guess I can't see a fault for trying. Otherwise, its no telling what re-run of a show they networks would have put on air.
