Anyone else concerned that gullible Marissa will need to borrow Kat’s blonde wig soon thanks to Alora shilling this controversial product?

I've never heard of this, but am not in the US, why is it controversial?

I'm assuming its a MLMS (Multi Level Marketing Scheme)

My mom and I have used Monat before and we never had any problems with it, but it has caused hair loss in a lot of people.

Yep, MLM which is predatory in nature, but this brand in particular has been rife with lawsuits lately because of users suffering massive hair loss and damage.
 

Makes me wonder if the DCC platform was a way for Alora to grow her downline lol

A little disclaimer about the formations:

It took me a few days to make them but I am 95% I got the formation right. I am just not sure if I placed 5 ladies right but overall it will look very alike 😊

Where was VK in the triangle last year?

This MLM crap is disgusting, predatory, and shouldn’t be allowed if you’re on the team in my opinion (don’t @ me, ok?). All of my friends who have fallen for it have experienced hair loss and extreme hair damage. It has taken forever to recover from the damage that this product has inflicted, so I don’t know why she’s electing to advertise such a controversial product if there are so many lawsuits against the company. 

I’d at least try to find products that I am personally interested in/love/use every day, not something I got looped into by a, “Hey gurrrrll! Long time no talk! Let me tell you about...” 

Plus, tbh, Monat reminds me of the word Monostat. This is the most I’ve ever written on this forum, and will ever write. I hate MLMs. 

Exits stage left.

Whats her background?

She doesn't seem as good as the others, Claire W is still the only one I am really wow with, and I found quite a few of her moves to be very childlike. Kinda what you would expect in a elementary school recital.

She is also the first to have me wonder about her flexibility, some of the moves feel like they should have had straight limbs and didn't. But she does have more control and power than yesterday's girl.

[vanillagum]

hate to continually sh*t on these videos but the darian one is really weirdly low energy and slow? 

and yes i know the music doesn't match so that's why it's a little off but it still doesn't look that great

she made the team right?

[BossKeyBlessed]

I actually can’t pass judgment on where these girls decided to film during the height of a pandemic. I’d understand most candidates may not have the luxury of a private studio space or even be able to leave their home backyard when these online auditions started back in the Spring. The DCC judges had to keep that in mind and knew what was important to focus on and not get distracted by trees, much less care if she had dark roots at that point!   I know everything here in town was shut down and going to public places was not an option.  Good for them for figuring something out.

Honestly, I think it would do a lot the girls a world of good. Go to school, get a degree or diploma, and even get more experience by joining the schools dance team. Spending 4 years on a university dance team that is well run and has great training can make a huge difference in a dancers ability than jumping straight from the world of competitive dance to the world of pro sports dance.

And it would give a lot of them the chance to mature and gain more worldly experiences through school and living away from home. These are things that kids and young adults need. They need to live out from under the thumb of their parents and mature into an adult on their own and I’m sorry but I just don’t think that can happen jumping from high school and straight into a pro sport dance career which requires quite a bit of maturity from the outset

I so whole-heartedly agree with this.  SMU, TCU, UNT all have great dance teams.  GREAT!  And for those not on the college path, and/or those who don't have a dance team at their university, joining one of the smaller squads to gain experience is a great way to go.  If Stefanie is still head of the Ice Angels, would be great.  She seems really nurturing and also encouraging of her ladies who go for DCC.  And most of all, they get the experience WITHOUT the reality show.  And that's key IMO.

Since Maddie has been mentioned, I just wanna say to TPTB: Next season please please PLEASE just pick one point. Enough of this "most senior vet gets point for a bit, then another girl gets point" shtick.

I agree.  Not most Senior, not most "status".  Give it to the one who has the most sparkle, strength and talent to carry the position.

I agree, and it's also why I wish they used their choreography round video. They could use consistent music and we could see actually how on beat/energetic these girls are. Darian is gorgeous though so I can see why she at least made the second round.

Did I miss the part where Jacie wanted natural hair and Kelly/Judy told her no? This seemed like Jacies perception based on other black cheerleaders telling her to adapt. I don’t see where she said K&J told her no natural hair. 
 

Sorry for the late reply and if this has been acknowledged already. 
 

As a Black woman, I can speak for the fact that we know when our natural hair won’t be accepted. Whether it’s for a corporate job or something like DCC. We’ve been dealing with it for decades now. Laws are getting passed allow people to not hire based on natural hairstyles. 
An employer or person in charge doesn’t have to out right say No or that something isn’t accepted for it to be obvious it’s not what they want. 
DCC has been around for decades, have any of the black women been able to wear an Afro? Locs? Braids? Or the curly/kinky hair that naturally grows from our heads? 
The DCC dance style clearly involves a lot of hair flipping. Our hair grows OUT not DOWN and there ain’t no flipping going on without it being straightened. 
Maintaining a straight hair, wigs, or weaves is a lot of work and cost and I doubt many of the black women went to the DCC salons after makeover day. 
I’d love to see them at least allow box braids. They can protect their natural hair and still give the hair choreography dcc loves. 

 

sorry for the long post.

I did too. I don’t listen to country, so I first found it on VH1.  It showed reruns of the show, so when I looked around on the guide I found CMT played the new episodes.

Same. I distinctly remember that very first 2 hour special for the 2005 team being on VH1. Then transitioned to a full season show and started airing on CMT for 2006 and on.

I watched it on CMT back in 2005, which was owned by MTV, which also owned VH-1.  It’s possible it aired on both channels since they were trying to sell a yearly show.

She's Kelli's second daughter, so she doesn't need to be a really good dancer like the other girls in order to move up. She just has to make sure those horse teeth stay nice and white!!

And Christina was ranked SO low!  She was smart to retire after that year, she could have easily been a veteran cut.

I still can't get over how high Ashley and Julia ranked and didn't make the team.  And Ashley was such an early cut.  

[cherryblossom]

Julia was cut due to her attitude & the f bomb captured by CMT.  

 

Also, after hearing about the other DCC FB pages for years I decided to take the plunge & joined two, one with the crazy person with the rhyming name & another one that seems relatively normal. I followed them maybe two months with only posting occasionally on the sane one.  Then there was a huge love fest about VK on the crazy one.  I posted a three letter word(no not fat or any horrible word) & a question mark. Poof the magic wand zapped me out of there faster than...as they said in Shawshank Redemption, I disappeared like a fart in the wind!!!

The leaderboard is a little deceptive, though. Maddie got two votes of maybe, IIRC. It just looks super dramatic because so many other vets got a perfect score.  Based on prior comments, it was probably Neil because of her looks and Jay because she flirts with weight warnings.  Nothing wrong with a maybe, just means there’s a reason to not be 100%. Even if Maddie was ranked as low as Christina she still would have been point because she’s a sweet girl and they love her NappyTabs style of hip hop. 
 

I tend to be on the Christy Scales side of things where a vet needs to super F up to not make it back, but I can acknowledge issues. I don’t even mind VK getting all yes scores, because the judges saw major improvement in figure from the prior year, big blonde hair and long legs show well on the big screen and also they know where their bread is buttered.

I don’t get what happened with Ashley. One second Kelli is complimenting her and saying “her former Mav teammates who are now DCCs love her and that’s a good sign,” only for her to be the first cut for kicks almost immediately and get a really harsh goodbye. Ashley’s sitting there for two seconds trying to process the cut and Kelli snaps, “We don’t need to drag this out!”

I can't remember if it was speculation or a poster was in the know, but wasn't there talk on here at the time about some kind of rift with Ashley and either Lisa or Julia that trickled over from the Mavs?  I think they were in the same TC group too, which if there was tension, I'm sure that didn't help.

Yeah, I don't get it either. I recently rewatched that season and it still puzzles me, because like Kelli said, it seemed like the former Mav vets loved her (when she was announced for TC I believe it was Lexie you see get super excited and greet her when she ran up to to the TC group) and she ranked pretty high.  If I remember correctly, the speculation was the cut was more to appease either Julia or Lisa (I'm leaning more towards it was Lisa....probably around the time she was BFFing with VK 🤣) bc it was very odd that it seemed like Kelli just turned on her.  I know her kicks were kinda low, but to cut her so early for it seemed absurd compared to other girls in her situation in past seasons that did end up making the team.

It was said on these boards that Ashley held some sort of acquaintance with a financial sound individual who promised Ashley that he would 'buy' a spot on the team for her. What Ashley had to do for this favor was never specified. I remember different posters claiming this and stating that Julia was some sort of Mother Teresa. There were quite some (positive and negative) posts about Julia and Ashley.

Perhaps Kelli did not like Ashley's alleged arrangement.
