She does. She looks a lot darker. She suddenly looks like Malena. I'm scared. Has our girl been replaced with a pod person

Her forehead and eyes look “tight.” And I don’t know how this is possible, but her face looks longer —?!

Are those East Texas Ds? 

As I recall their little town of Gilbert Texas is about 100 miles from Houston...so yes, East Texas...personally I'm a California girl, but I was raised by a Louisiana farm boy....and you never let your mouth overload your capabilities...

My feature presentation tonight was going to be "La Bamba" (I'm on a string of sad endings that started with "Brians's Song" followed by "The Buddy Holly Story") but may just change that to BLWIT...

Rose Style Salon specializes in ethnic hair styling, and wigs.

Because Tangerine refused to properly service the WOC on the team. How do you have a salon with multiple locations and not a single stylist that can do “ethnic” hair.

I know this because I personally called earlier this year and asked to be seen by the stylist the WOC women use, and they had zero options.

It's about time! I can't believe this didn't happen until 2020.

Rainier’s salon must have had a couple of specialists, or they used his salon for filming...the episode with Alexandra’s makeover makes me roll my eyes so hard, but the stylists were great. Very matter of fact! Maybe Rainier made a point to have more knowledge about textured hair since he himself is a curly boy. Who knows, but how did Kelli get to be in charge of makeovers for so long and she’s just now hearing about units? “Weave queen?” Come on now. 
 

Least amount of black women that they’ve had on the squad in ages, but at least they’ve figured something out. Sigh. Tho we all figured out Tangerine was pretty white girl specific when they were all freaking out about Yuko’s hair texture. One of my closest girlfriends in Dallas is of Korean descent, and she’s been so annoyed trying to find the right stylist. 
 

I like Marshall and I’m not annoyed that textured hair isn’t his area of speciality, because while all stylists have a base knowledge from school, we all want an expert for our hair type. The show could do a better job, tho, so I’m hoping this new salon bridges that gap. (Also I’ve never had extensions but haven’t a lot of y’all said you didn’t like the type they’ve used? Was it Julia that had a really high end type that was replaced by tape in?)

In Texas, yes ma’am is still a term of respect and definitely not old fashioned. I use it myself, as do my children, their friends, etc. I don’t see that changing ever. 

I remember when I moved down south to North Carolina. All the students I taught, always answered everything with "yes, ma'am", and "no ma'am". Also heard it when living in Virginia and Tennessee. Not as much here in Maryland where I grew up and live now, although my parents did teach me to respond that way to my elders. I do think it shows good manners and I hope it doesn't die out. JMO.

During the "Making the Team" era, these are the women whom we know for sure are black or mixed with one black parent:

2005: 7 (Jen, Monica, Nicole, Carmen, Shenythia, Shatera, Jasmin)
2006: 4 (Deryn, Jen, Nicole, Carmen)
2007: 7 (Deryn, Carmen, Tia, Ryan, Dara, Ally, Nicole)
2008: 6 (Ally, Nicole, Ryan, Deryn, Dara, Tia)
2009: 6 (Nicole, Ally, Tia, Mia, Jackie Bob, 
2010: 5 (Mia, Ally, Tia, Sasha, Jackie Bob)
2011: 4 (Jackie Bob, Sasha, Ally, Mia)
2012: 5 (Jackie Bob, Mia, Jacie, Jenna, Jasmine)
2013: 4 (Jackie Bob, Jasmine, Jacie, Jenna)
2014: 3 (Jacie, Jasmine, Jenna)
2015: 3 (Jacie, Jenna, Robin)
2016: 4 (Khalyn, Cersten, Jenna, Robin)
2017: 5 (Keyra, Khalyn, Cersten, Robin, Jenna - at this point, this is the highest number in 5 years)
2018: 3 (Ashlee, Briana, Khalyn)
2019: 4 (Ashlee, Briana, Kat, Chandi)
2020: I'd rather wait until the squad is 'announced', but I can do this one if anyone wants me to.

The average is 4.6 black women per year - round that up it's 5 or 13.8% of the standard 36 member squad.

2020: 7 (Ashlee, New Briana, Kat, Chandi, Jada, Sydney, Darian, Armani)

The average is 5.2 black women per year - 14.2% of the standard 36 member squad.

That's a pretty representative sample considering 13.4% of the US population is African American and 2.8% are mixed race according to the US Census Bureau.  I wonder what the Hispanic breakdown is.  18.5% of the US is Hispanic, and I'd imagine that is higher in Texas.  My poor memory would guess DCC has a much smaller percentage.

Thanks for putting this together! Isn’t Carissa biracial, as well? Perhaps she is one “whom the we know for sure” phrase is referring to. 

Also, on the hair issue, if you look at Sintia (Sinita?) from season 7, she was never featured, but she is pictured in the background of multiple scenes. She starts out with natural curls. After makeovers, you see her in the background while they are dancing at Gilley’s, and her hair is straight.... I had thought that Kelli wouldn’t require a girl who came in with curls to go straight, but apparently she did. It’s a bad look.

I’m glad that they finally found someone who is experienced in working with textured hair.

I'm not optimistic but I hope we see Chandi's curls more; they're gorgeous. I could tell when she first tried out that her hair was straightened to hell and back. It looks great but as a fellow mixed curlie I want to see it natural 😞 keeps it way healthier too, not using so much heat

So VK gets the “bonus” videos treatment, and for “power.”  Too bad it’s not for control of her dance.  Do the girls get to volunteer for these?  Or are they just chosen?  How do the other girls feel about VKs VIP treatment?  Can’t believe some stunning dancers that are also gorgeous, got over looked!  I’d love to see a class by Gina!

If the team is made up of world class dancers, why is it that only certain ones get featured?  Shouldn't they all know what they are doing if they made the squad?

All of this should really be on a rotation, as should DCC in Motion - part of being a DCC.  Like we have said many a time on this forum, if all the TPTB do is feature VK, no one will know who else is on the squad.  

And does anyone remember Kristin doing a DCC in Motion video?

It doesn't (necessarily) matter what the rules are. Rules are rules - and you agree to the list of rules when you're hired. If you break them, you're (usually) let go. Kelli's issue is that the rules are only applied when Kelli wants them to be. Would VK have received a one game suspension like Tess, Caroline, Kat and Daphne in the same situation? Probably not.

(Not a dig at VK for once, just an example. 🙂😅 )

It’s probably covered on here...did Jalyn get show group back? If she didn’t, I’d see the writing on the wall and retire after this year if I were her. 

No she didn't 😠 Someone posted on here that they allegedly gave her false hope that she would get her spot back all for the show, and she didn't in the end. 

Those girls had to sit out the first game because they went to a busy lake on a holiday (Labor Day?) and were very drunk. A poster on here said they met them and they were nice, but obviously super drunk. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but Covid and all, and representing DCC.

She never did one. I have notes on every one of them - mainly to keep them in order because TPTB can't - and she was never featured.

  1. Tess / Taylor P. / VK / Madeline
  2. Lexie / Ashlee / Kelcey
  3. Maddie
  4. Meredith / Rachel W. / Caroline / Amber

  8. Amy
  9. CiCi / Rachel W.
  10. Heather / Molly / Rachel A. / Alanna / Christina
  11. Lily / Taylor J. / Miranda / Brianna / Kelcey
  12. VK (black dress)
  13. Hannah / Erin
  14. Rachel W.
  15. Bridget
  16. Gina / Amanda / Amber

2. Amber not Kelcey

4. Kelcey not Amber

11. Amy is in that one too, it’s Amber again, not Kelcey

17. Amber

 

I think Cianna, Jalyn and Daphne recorded one too but we’ve not seen that yet!

If you would be fortunate enough to see Caroline walking in the mall you would notice her phenomenal physique. That would make you look twice and you would notice her class. She doesn’t shout out ‘here I am’ but is more of a hidden treasure. After seeing her striking blue eyes would too would be #TeamCaroline!

In Season 14 the Hispanic DCCs were Alanna, Lisa and Kristen. Season before that was just Lacey and Alanna I believe. Doesn’t seem to be much Hispanic representation in DCC. Tbh doesn’t seem to be particularly diverse at all when you compare to other dance teams. Can’t recall there being very many DCCs of Asian background either. 
On another note I know Tess is Native American, I don’t know of any other Native American DCCs, does anyone know if there has been any others apart from Tess?
