Didn't they hold that against Ann Lux also?

OMG.  She's totally being Ann Luxed. Except I think they kept Ann for 2 years, and then she didn't reaudition?

Agree on it all and to me Rachel A looked thick with some ass jiggle. Like WW thick. How her, Cianna, etc get away with the extra I do not know. 

Because they look damn good. They probably have had weight warnings. Rachel A has always been “thick” down there but they actually look like women. They represent most women and not the ones deliberately making themselves look super skinny and like teenagers (although it’s known I love Daphne & Amanda and they’re slim)

It might have looked like they were thick by comparison to the other girls who are in great shape, Elli, Kat, Hannah, etc

Kat looks slightly less slim than last year but still reallly good shape. Hannah and that booty are perfection.

I never understood the Rachel or Cianna love. I think it’s looks and shape, plus solid but not reallly impressive show groups dancers to me, cute hair though.

Now daphne, I do not get her either. She just looks so tired and too thin but has that weird rib cage and wider waist that I don’t think a few pounds would fix. Her face just looks so tired like somebody who is beautiful but has been sick. She never looks healthy to me. Amanda is slim but curvy so pretty much perfect body to me.

1) Haven't seen VK featured and barely in the background so far...much bigger drama afoot this season
2) Kelli lacks empathy. Her degree is in dance...Hannah's in psychology/mental health and is about to get a Masters in the field...therefore, Kelli is no better than the paper she's printed on and shouldn't be carrying the amount of authority she's been given.
3) Judy is the director or choreography...she knows every dance (can probably do every dance)and may still create choreography, but other staff are doing the teaching, Judy does the polishing & evaluating (and yelling). 
4) Kat is an airhead, whether contrived or not...she makes the team look weak
5) Meredith, bless her heart
6) I feel a little bad for Lily...not totally on board with her cut.
7) I love Neal McCoy...he's picking entertainers and he knows what he's talking about...I haven't met him yet, but we have several friends in common...they can't say enough good things about him.

8 Marissa...her talking head (about her friend that died) was very nicely done. She presented herself well...she looks good all fixed up and seemed genuine & well spoken.  She's over-eager, comes with youth & immaturity...but she is a rock solid dancer and looked good on the field...

I was all with you until I got to #8 😜 I'm still not a fan bc of the look, but agree she presented herself well.  It could have been anyone and I still really don't like the sob stories, it has always just feels icky to me.  I get that these events are tragic for young people, but I always get the feeling MTT/TPTB are like what is the worse thing you can think of and now lets dwell on it in segment instead of showing dancing.  Also, did anyone else catch on to her leaving NYC for covid....I wonder if she would have never tried out this year if her program was still going?  I don't care how much they try to convince us this is every girls dream, I think it is a back-up or a stepping stone for most.

That was the first time I'd seen her all polished up...she made a good impression and I see why she made it. Doesn't mean I would have chosen her...she can be coached on her ambassador/media skills,, however. There are worse ambassador trainwrecks (I mean risks) than Marissa. She did hightail it out of NYC, understandable given her youth & the panic...sometimes you just want your mama. So it could be a plan B and a stepping stone...or she could be another Jenna and stay past her expiration date

I think there is hope for Marissa if she matures some.  Especially with that Tik Tok cr*p.  I actually do like her dancing and her demeanor has not agitated me yet.

Hopefully DCC won't include her carrot trick in the "my road to DCC."

Kat tends to present herself an airhead...not leadership material, regardless of her scandal issues

Kat reminds me of Chelsea a little bit. Just over the top and doesn’t seem genuine. Based on her solo last year, I’m still shocked she made it to TC. It was Tinman Vivian level bad. 
 

based on last night’s episode I can see why Meredith got cut. I thought it was interesting Kelli made a remark that Kat and Meredith were the last two to make it last year when it was Meredith and Lily who were called in. Kat was horrible last night but they kept her over Hannah and Brennan who are both solid dancers? Someone make it make sense. Also, it bugged me that Kelli said Hannah looked pale and unhappy. Hannah’s skin tone hasn’t changed since her rookie year so that should be a surprise and also I don’t think you need a big cheesy grin when you’re just standing around. I thought Lily and Sheridan actually looked good last night. I wish TBTP would address the board and rankings coming into camp.

Generally agree except everything is different this year. First, DCC heavily promotes the idea of a sisterhood -not just a profession. They can't have it both ways especially in the middle of a global disaster.Which are they?   Hannah's family is in healthcare and she rightly was concerned. She was not just worried about her own health but rather for the health of the public. Remember this was all filmed when the south was surging. She likely questioned why they needed training camp at all this year. Yes, she chose to go because she wanted to keep something thats been special for her. It's okay to go but still feel conflicted about whether or not it was correct.  If expressing her concerns is what gets her fired - I am actually fine with that-  I just wish they would admit it. If it was truly because she appeared pale, and depressed and anxious then they had the responsibility to be just a touch more empathetic-- especially in the midst of pandemic.

 

I don’t blame Hannah for being concerned or conflicted. I thought it was interesting that TBTP told the girls dancing to take their masks off and told the girls watching to leave them on and acted like they’re taking wearing masks seriously when there were vet vlogs of girls clearly not wearing them and interacting with each other. Also, did the vets quarantine prior to entering the bubble?

Savannah had a “panic attack” due to being stressed about not knowing dances and went back to her room and didn’t dance.

Look if that was a serious, medical “panic attack,” fair enough. 
 

But if you’re telling me a 4-year veteran threw a fit and refused to dance then WTH. 
 

How is she still on the team???? And this is someone rookies are supposed to look up to?

I saw that on Insta last night!  I had no idea she'd had COVID.

 

Interestingly, someone else I know posted something similar yesterday.  Six weeks post-COVID and they had no sense of taste/smell.  Also the first I'd heard of them having COVID and based on the amount of traveling/socializing they were doing in the previous six weeks, I never would have guessed it.  People, this is why our positivity rates are still so high!!!!  

I had Covid back in June and only got my sense of smell back around September. The worst thing has been the brain fog where I can't remember the simplest things. That is still ongoing. Be safe, folks!

As to cutting the intelligent gals, as I said in another post, I think Kelli in particular is intimidated by intelligence. With those who aren't quite as bright, it is easier for her to get the gals to just go along with anything without complaint. I'm sure she knows that the smarter gals see thru her B.S. Therefore, she gets rid of the ones that have figured out her ways. JMO

She has the beauty (or can have -- last year's wig was just tragic) and the body -- but she is not fun to watch IMO. I don't like watching the ones who mess up & she messes up A LOT (not a big fan of the goofiness/airhead persona either).

From their social media, it didn't look like many rookies or vets quarantined before entering the bubble. They had rookies (can't remember if there were vets too) posting on their SM about getting eyebrows, etc. waxed before camp (I think that's what it was). Not sure if they were in Texas 14 days prior to entering bubble.

Some vets were posting vacation pics, etc. before entering camp (someone flew to Mexico, I think?). Lisa flew somewhere to teach a class not long before training camp.

Interesting how they are trying to claim certain cut vets look unhappy, tired, not-recovered from Covid, and showed Sydney almost passing out, but not surprisingly edited out the day Savannah had a “panic attack” due to being stressed about not knowing dances and went back to her room and didn’t dance. Why is it ok that Kat and Maddie continually make mistakes in these clips, but they want us to believe that Hannahs paleness should be considered as a viable reason she is on the radar. Why is it ok that certain dancers get passes? Don’t answer that, I already know the answer.  I said from the start that the editing would be out of control this year but they are taking it to a level that is even egregious for them.

As a medical resident, panic attacks are a real thing and are really debilitating (and frequently send people to the ER). If she had a true panic attack, she would not be able to just keep dancing, so I'd give her a pass for that. Criticizing her for messing up is fair, but I don't think we should be praising Hannah for being so forthright about her depression, while criticizing others for having anxiety.

The problem isn't the panic attack itself (or not being able to continue to dance because of it), but WHY she had the panic attack in the first place. If a 4 year vet really doesn't know (or can't pick up) the dances -- THAT is a problem that should not be excused. Ignoring that but putting someone on the chopping block for looking "pale" and "unhappy" is ridiculous.

"Every time I take my trash out of my apartment, this is how I get back ... because I just put it in my head so much that I can't mess it up if I tried."

You see, people. THAT's the standard that every DCC should shoot for in my opinion. Love Amanda. So happy she hasn't gotten caught up in all the upcoming ridiculous drama.

Hope she stays at least another two years!

Lona, that is EXACTLY what I thought! Amazing.

Amanda, the consummate professional. Beyond reproach. No one can touch her.

Can we have 36 Amanda's please?

What I also loved was that Amanda was talking to Dani. That was a wonderful moment for me. What a dream team they are. That is what every DCC group should inspire. I felt the same with Ashlee and Armani practicing. Epic and awesome. Awe inspiring.

The fact that panic attack was in quotes suggests to me that Savannah was using that as an excuse for not remembering a dance. If it was real, I know what a panic attack feels like & it's not pretty.  So my sympathies if it was real, shame on her if it wasn't.

Rachel W said, I believe on Boots in the bubble, that she had a spray tan machine with her in the bubble. She works at a spray tan salon in Dallas.. so really they could have easily fixed any people who were not tan to their liking pretty easily & without damaging their skin at all. Just wanted to also throw this out there to add to the "Tan-gate" controversy lol.  😂 I think it's pretty clear they were just grasping at straws during editing to try to justify Hannah's upcoming cut.

100% looked pale and washed out. Those big stadium lights almost require a little bit of a tan. 

That being said.. they should have said "Hey Hannah, rub some self tanner on tonight" Her pale body is IN NO WAY an excuse to cut her. She is a fabulous dancer. 

I know the Hannah cut is tough on so many but am I the only one who think she looks pissed off when she dances? Not just this season too. It’s like a sexy look but looks annoyed to be there. Not very cheerleader like.

Oh! Maybe it was on the seasons I purchased from Amazon! I need background noise to drown out my husband’s conference calls while we both work from home so I usually put Pluto on first.  But if it’s a season I’ve seen 1000 times I’ll head over to Amazon and put on 13 or 14.

Haha no worries!!! It's probably best I don't see Tara's cut again bc it absolutely crushed me for her, still does & when someone compared Hannah's cut to Tara's it brought up all the old feelings, omg I need a life! But I just hate the way TPTB play with these girls emotions its so wrong.

Not sure who mentioned above but they were spot on with Kelli not taking kindly to the ladies that are clearly smarter than her. She definitely seems to favor the 'dumber' girls so she can manipulate them...

I could probably find another vid but this is a quick one I go back to. Notice how her face is before she raises her arm and smiles up, I think this is the same face she was doing when they showed her standing there waiting. I just believe that if a camera was following and recording me throughout my whole dance practice and they could probably find a 5 second shot of me looking "pissed" or "not wanting to be somewhere".

You can see Lisa on the right in her raggedy bottom jeans and what looks like a scrubs top (it isn't, but looks grubby)...I'd take issue with that before criticizing Brennan

Well, the difference IS, is that Lisa's choices in her wardrobe are often questionable and rarely impressive, so that didn't surprise me. However, as I implied originally, maybe not word for word - Brennan is known for her chic style.  As the majority of the vets were dressed the first day coming back in what you usually see on their first "meeting" before training camp begins, I wasn't expecting to see Brennan in a black tank and jeans, so yeah, I'm criticizing Brennan.   Sorry, not sorry.

I am with you totally.  There's no way that all the vets except Brennan and Lisa assumed that it was "dress like an interview" day and those two made a different assumption.  We're talking about an org that gives them pics of which outfits to wear to practice - they were told and choices were made.  Lisa, oh Lisa.  I think she thought it was cool and ok because of the stars.  But no, hon, it wasn't.  Even with high heels and good jewelry, you were wearing a mismatched jeans and tops combo, and the jeans were ill-fitting.  But Brennan?  I can't even.  Yes, she is generally fashionable.  Someone here or on FB said her outfit was chique.  Any one of the pieces properly combined would have been fine.  Those jeans with a long flowy shirt and platform shoes?  Cute!  But not those pieces combined in that way.  I know this is not the popular opinion here.  I'll see myself out.........................

(But I do love Brennan and all of her dancing they have shown has been great.)
