I think the show isn’t allowed to, have you ever noticed they never say thunderstruck? They just say our signature game routine and the music is never played on the show? It’s always played alongside other music, mustn’t have the rights or have to pay something for even mentioning it 

One would think that if that's their signature song they would have rights to play it when and where they wanted?   Why can they play Robert Palmer's Simply Irresistible on the show and not other songs like that?  And the other night I heard Clap Your Hands while they are dancing or whatever that song is.  I do well understand copyright issues.  It just seems unusual to have rights to one song and not a really "important" one.  P.S.  I remember when the video of Simply Irresistible came out.

Group 2 talk about a leadership snoozefest wowza...

Why didn't Rachel - 4th year yet/SG didn't get a 2nd leader position? Why did they choose four third year vets over her? I can understand picking them over Savannah.

And general question, in past years we've seen group leaders give their opinions on who should make the squad. I assumed it was for the TV show drama but does this happen in real life?

Rachel A was robbed.  Watching the show, she is seen comforting Meredith (ran over to her and walked her away from the crowd) when Meredith was told she was getting called in the office.  She is also seen talking to Tori and someone else I cannot remember.  Last year on the show Rachel A was  working with the rookies on the jump split in a wonderfully encouraging way.  Unlike Erica a few years back who was on camera laughing at the rookies.  Rachel A starting last year with her sassy haircut really took up her dancing a notch.  This season she was seenn in the background killing it.  Maddie went straight to group leader and survived.  between the 4 group leaders, clearly not all of them are going to retire.  Gina has announced a 5th year.    There's no way they need all new group leaders.  Also, on the boots in the bubble podcast with Kashara Rachel A was one of the most well spoken.  I admit it's one of my pet peeves that there have been some of the DCC's in prime positions that cannot speak publicly so save their life.  Maddie for one, Amy was not much better (I like Maddie and Amy but speaking is not their forte) years back Mia and Brittany Evans sounded like 5 year olds.  Rachel A's body looks like a woman and not a teenager.  Yes I am a fan but she should have gotten leader.

I know this scene was meant to be uplifting but it made me feel uncomfortable. It felt like TPTB were captialising on Shaina's grief and tried to force her to open up. Her friends had literally just died, not months/years ago. Her grief was so raw and likely the first time she'd ever had to deal with death so closely. 

They keep saying they want their cheerleaders to be individual but they must be extorverted, talkative and happy all the time. I'm glad Shaina spoke out when she got cut but I always felt Kelli was rude to her. The same with Hannah's first office visit this season. Just because you've gone through something similar doesn't mean you know how someone else is feeling. Some people are just a bit more introverted, doesn't mean they can't be good ambassadors or performers! 

Oh they were absolutely capitalizing on her grief and thats sickening.

It's not necessarily about who was cut (Hannah has mixed opinions on here), it's the matter of how and why she was cut, and how they've made up a story to cover their backs.

There are two main issues here. Firstly, TC really shouldn't have taken place in any capacity this year. People should only be leaving home if it is necessary. If Covid isn't stressing you out, then you must be extremely privileged. (I don't mean you in particular, I mean in general). The problem is that people (especially the US) aren't taking it seriously enough (large gatherings still taking place, no masks in sight). In the UK, we're on lockdown 3, numbers are still rising. Half the population are adhering to the rules, the other half are simply doing what they want especially over Christmas/New Year.

Secondly, Hannah and the vets/TCCs were told that the bubble was secure, which probably eased her anxiety initally. She loves being on the team and wanted to continue so under the impression that all precautions were being taken. She's said she found escapism in dancing in her basement but it wasn't quite the same. On turning up to the 'bubble', it was clear that it wasn't as secure as they had been told. She voiced her concerns and got blacklisted and then cut for that. They have a responsibility as an organisation to make sure that they were taking all Covid precautions. 

They know of her medical history as she's been vocal about her anxiety/depression on the show before. That doesn't mean she can't go anywhere or do anything. She has been a great ambassador and stellar performer for 2 years now yet now she's no longer capable? Kelli even said her heart doesn't seem in it and she's less engaging. Probably because she doesn't feel safe, which she shared her feelings about, and now TPTB have made up some story to make her seem disinterested. Having watched the episodes, her dancing doesn't seem as powerful as before but she's still head and shoulders above a lot of the women there. 

Very well said. Other than the Miller piece of choreo, Hannah was great if u watched her. Thats why they had to keep showing that one.

They make these scenes quick for people to hardly to see the mess ups from those they don't want to cut but moments after this, Kelli said "my eyes went straight to Alora-rose" like of course they will, she's the only one in pink 🤦🏽‍♀️

Retirement wish list:

I will pack their bags and arrange a van: Maddie, Tess, Lexie, Alora, Taylor, Sydney, Kat. Kelli, you can hop in the van too.

Please go out with dignity, your future is not here: Kristen, Brianna

FTLOG, go: Savannah, Cianna, Judy and her stool.

Awwww, I like cici. 

[TB12]

My episode thoughts...

"This is a very demanding dance job" Kelli to Brennan about her struggling in her recovery from COVID. Ummm sure Kelly possibly in another year but this season the ladies were a hot mess on the touchdown decks... you just said it Kelli, you never thought Brennan was a wow factor you seem very threatened by her intelligence if you want my opinion.

Brennan wearing her turtleneck to Media training was everything! Didn't I read somewhere that Kelli didn't like the turtleneck dress she once wore?

Briana was not sluggish again, Kelli seems so threatened by mature, intelligent women with a mind of their own a la Hannah. 

Why are they trying to force Kat down our throats this year? 

Lisa, ummmm WHAT are you wearing to Media training, that dress is just no. And the way they fawn over her answer, 'Lisa can you be my lifeline' gagging... Lisa being all dramatic when they announced the North Texas storm I cannot...

Darian is allowed to be fragile and emotional talking about her dad but next up Hannah talking about overcoming her mental health challenges got her the boot... I LOVED that Hannah screenshotted MTT IG story and commented, you go Hannah, shame on DCC just shame! 

Had to add Kelli lovesssss using the word Battement, when she was talking about Alora. I think its the only dance term she knows (which is one more than me haha) and she's also in love with Alora's hairography...

Brennan, Hannah and Briana have been 3 of my faves in recent years, BECAUSE they're intelligent, well-rounded women. I know the squad needs fresh-faced 18 year olds too but I relate more to the women who have other stuff going on outside of the DCC world. They're much more interesting, probably because I feel like we have more in common. They're all crazy beautiful but look like you could hang out with them too!

However, Kelli always says she wants her women to be well-rounded yet doesn't appreciate that not everyone can do random weekday appearances or tonnes of DCC camps.

Yes yes yes these 3 are amazing women inside and out! Rather see them bc they can actually carry a convo.

Also Alora Rose has an amazing body. Kelli is thinking Rockette and calendar. 
Lily looks like Jordan Chanley Jr to me. Not ugly. Very typical dcc cookie cutter I don’t get the ‘ugly’ comments.

Im all for personality but Kat please tone it down or move on to Real Housewives.

Retirements are announced around the time of auditions aren’t they? @ShellyB is that correct?

also are the girls still not permitted to send out signed photos? How does someone go about getting one? Won’t lie I wouldn’t mind one before one of my faves retires 😅

Depends on if there is another season. Generally, around auditions is when the public will begin to know of possible retirements. K & J will not ask for formal decisions until later in the spring.

Right now, they’ve been told that signed photos are not to be mailed out...I’m aware of some that have sent out pics during quarantine.

Hey everyone, so I have been keeping track of the boards that I have seen have have been collating them together in one spreadsheet to see how they change and which girls move up and down. Below is up to episode 6 as I have not seen episode 7 yet in the UK. A couple of things to note: Alanna is always at the top probably because she is first in alphabetical order, there were 2 boards shown in episode 5 hence two headings for episode 5, everyone below the red line is "not top 36", cells in green means they have moved up from their previous position, cells in light red means they have moved down from their previous positions and if they are white it means they have not changed. If the text is red that is the episode they get cut and the the number next to it is the order of the cuts. 

Could someone explain to me the Taylor factor here? She auditioned one day. Did she then stay in the "so called bubble?" I know the episodes are out of order and these boards are largely just for the show -  but Taylor went from three episodes at #29 to all of sudden way down to #39. Then all of sudden up to #20 then #19 then #18? So how she making such leaps up and down if she's there just one day?

My guess is she was ranked low because she hadn't auditioned. Then she did audition and got ranked, then moved as other scores around her changed.

Ahhh okay so they just at some point moved her from 29 to 39 to get her essentially out of the way until she auditioned. Got it. That makes sense.

I might agree with you about giving a vet the benefit of the doubt except for the fact that this year training camp was their try out.  Vets with the DCC must try out every year, and vets have been cut.  This year there were no try-outs, and all vets were invited to TC.  It was clear that they would be evaluated in TC and cut if need be.  

People keep saying COVID had her stressed out, and TC was not safe.  Well then why was she even there?  If you have that much anxiety about COVID, stay home.  Ask for a chance to come back next year at solos because your anxiety can't take it.  You don't show up and then complain about it.  

Honestly they owe her nothing.  Unless the policy is a vet has a spot until she leaves once it's earned, then cutting a vet is not out of line.  It's not like she was the only vet cut.  It's just my opinion, but I'm certainly entitled to it.  

And we all know who the one vet that has a spot until she retires!  Something I don’t understand...  VK has talked about online bullying, etc, but has she not heard the comments about what she could do to improve herself?  If I kept hearing about if I was dancing heavy, falling out of turns, etc, I’d light a fire under it and fix those skills.  JS

I would do the same if I saw repeated comments about my dancing (thank goodness our audience is always positive so I don't have to see those comments). However, there are a lot of dancers out there who don't respect the opinions of most people because they aren't dancers themselves, so they feel that technical critique from them isn't legitimate. "They're not dancers, so who are they to give me corrections?" And while I think that's not a good perspective to take, it's also a way for professional dancers to ignore hateful comments. It can be incredibly difficult to ignore what other people are saying, especially if it's just a constant barrage of hatred. If Victoria, or any of the other girls, or any dancer for that matter, uses that as a tool to help them not get bogged down by hateful posts on the Internet, I can't really fault them for it.

From what I remember hearing of Victoria and her training (just rumors, but still. . . . ), she wasn't listening to, or accepting critiques from her teachers.  Supposedly, she wasn't allow to be critiqued or corrected, only praised.  So, dancing heavy, not using her core, having bad technique in various moves, etc. was never corrected because it was never allowed to be corrected.  Thus, she wouldn't just be listening to the non-dancers, she wasn't listening to her teachers (or ignored them).

You’d think, given a few of us on here, are dancers or have been dancers are stating it though, may have some bearing or as @EricaShadows stated, she blatantly ignored her teachers too and ignored their critique.

if you’re not going to listen to teachers why bother? But on top of that “a picture is worth a thousand words” and there is a number of photos of girls on the team past and present with correct technique, where their body is up and the lock is coming from their hips and leg muscles and not needing to lean over and be obvious for yourself to see you don’t look as good as those girls or would want to look as effortless as them. Or even copy her own group leader Tess has lovely kicks.

We talk frequently about why do these women need to know certain things during panel interviews and why do they ask certain questions. And it is so these women know better than to post insensitive things like this. But we all know Rachel will get a pass. Not sure why they haven’t flagged her as an ambassador risk yet.

Don’t need to fix the skills if you’re guaranteed a spot. So much hypocrisy about raising the bar.

On the other hand we're not saying how it needs to be fixed. If a non-dancer were to say that, sure. But we’re just calling WHAT needs to be fixed.

I don't think Tess particularly adds much to the squad but her kicks are some of the best currently. It helps that she's tall but her kicks usually look effortless.

This is why I like having judges that know absolute jack about technique on the panel.  At it's core, the best question to ask is "Is this candidate fun to watch?"  Because if she's not sparking joy, no matter her excellent technique, she doesn't need to be a DCC.  At the end of the day, it's a bright smile, joyful presence and ability to blend in with the team (IE, no visible mistakes in the kick line, sideline dances, etc.) that matter the most.

Well, and an ability to READ THE MOTHER LOVING ROOM, RACHEL W.

She is the BIGGEST soupuss, always has such a crappy look on her face. I remember Hannah's second season (Blonde Hannah who was released for weight in training camp) well during the 1st meeting when they all introduce themselves, the look on Kelli's face when Hannah was speaking if looks could kill. Then two seconds later when Sydney called herself Syd Vicious (gagging) Kelli was just laughing away... THIS is why I say she's the ultimate mean girl. She has no poker face and doesn't seem to care if people see her dirty looks...

I lost track of who are Hannah and Brennan's "close friends" still on DCC? I was thinking just now of, wouldn't it be funny those close to the two of them, still on the team next year, have their "my cause my boots" dedicated to them. and be along the lines of "mental health issues, dedicated to former DCC's Brennan and/or Hannah, who was SACKED a year ago" etc. I would be sitting here doing my Wicked Witch from the west (wizard of Oz movie reference) laugh

I have read that. An insider said that she is a studio hopper because she only wants praise, no constructive criticism.

In media training they should be discussing how many cocktails you should safely have because alcohol is the #1 cause of boot in mouth disasters for these women...They rub shoulders with V-VIPs at various events who could be talking about the Brett Kavanaugh hearings or, more recently Amy Coney Barret...so she should be at least able to follow the conversation topic and be able to fake it better. Not everyone in the room is an old jock. Her dinner partner could very well be the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court. If you expect to be treated world class...own the room and act world class.

Ashlinn. In her media interview, when asked about Brett Kavanaugh, she repeatedly said that he was "on the Supreme Court Justice". Personally, I think that's what prompted Kelli to mention her eloquence and fluidity when speaking. It's one thing if she doesn't know who he is, or mixed up him getting fired as a result of the hearings, but in that instance she wasn't even referencing the Supreme Court correctly.

Ah, I didn't notice that when she was speaking, especially since her entire reply was jumbled...should have let die quietly on her own rather than have Rachel W jump in...

Thanks for clarifying

Was Ashlinn not in the so called "dance off" because they already knew she'd be cut? Or had actually already been cut and they just haven't shown it?

Color me strange but I'd call this über bad timing.   But that's just me.  🤷‍♀️

I agree especially when DCC's like Brianna and Ashlee (more have probably posted about it but I've just seen theirs) are posting about it because it is personal for them. I'd say it's insensitive.

I actually looked on Thursday which of the DCCs with public IGs posted anything related to the previous days’ events. Only Sydney, Darian, Ashlee, and Alora-Rose had any reference. Some DCCs have private IGs (Bri, Kelcey, etc.) so it is possible a few others could have posted.

We talk frequently about why do these women need to know certain things during panel interviews and why do they ask certain questions. And it is so these women know better than to post insensitive things like this. But we all know Rachel will get a pass. Not sure why they haven’t flagged her as an ambassador risk yet.

 

 

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Thank god we have "co-points" this season. She may not be my favorite, but I'm just gonna act like Maddie is solo point. Don't think I'm gonna acknowledge Rachel W. as "point" going forward.

I really love Jada as a person and think she is beautiful, but as a dancer she reminds me of Tess but even more noodly and lacking in power. Her body is beautiful, but I don't see DCC style in her movements.

I’ve mentioned this before in here: I think Briana is hilariously sardonic. And I’m totally here for it.

Many on social media have felt that Briana is overlooked - I think she is doing as much as she wants to as a DCC and doesn't have the time or the inclination to drink the kool aid.

... and is all the more stronger and well-off for it in my opinion!

Darian with her identical twin Devon and...DCC Taylor Pedersen, who retired last year after 1 season.

I honestly can’t tell which one is Devon and which one is Darian!
