Agree!  That was the "golden age" of MTT -- before it became all about BS reality show drama.

Actually, I think Chelsea's surprise cut was the first example of reality BS.  However, she was also a poor dancer who I thought should never have made it to begin with (she also seemed like a Marissa -- someone who is all about the attention). But the way in which she was cut seemed orchestrated to enhance the drama of it all.

To be honest, Chelsea brought it on herself, she said what she said and was acting like a child imo.

I forgot to add Carisa, Ashley Ferrel, Kim and Olivia to the list of that great rookies class of season 7

You don't think she deserved to be cut for her "explosion in the locker room"?  Notice that she's the only one mouthing off and all the rest of the vets that were called in were seen crying.

She was a mess when it came to dancing too

That was a good group!  I liked the rookie class right before that, too (I'm watching it on Pluto now).  Holly Arielle (who would go on to be point), Emma (who would be a longtime All Star), MaKenzie Lee, Brittany Schram, Aussie Angela, Courtney Cook, Amber Lea.

I wasn't a big fan of Angela and Courtney personally but Emma and Holly H 😍😍 Britney was awesome too and we also got Veronica and Alyssa

We'll never see a "what she's doing now" segment on Chelsea.  But it does make me wonder how old she is and what she does for a living.

Carissa and Olivia are two of my all-time faves. Their technique is some of the best they've ever had.

She still lists “Former DCC” on her social media profiles. Kinda sad IMO given the amount of times that’s passed and she only did it for one season. I

She works for Cambria, the granite company, at least she did a year or so ago.    The only reason I know this is because their HQ is in my town and I saw a picture of their sales training grads in my local paper.  She was in the photo

Such a great point! It seems to me that Lisa and VK are the least liked on the squad. We get why VK is kept around—it’s the same reason she made the team in the first place. But Lisa? I think she’s there solely for diversity.

Although her dismissal was unpleasant, I imagine being a former DCC would be a badge of honor.  I've seen many an article identifying women as former DCCs.  I didn't always remember who the women were but if the media thinks it's worth mentioning even after decades have passed, I can see the women adding it to their resumes and being honored to be invited to alumni events for the rest of their lives.  Maybe Chelsea doesn't hold a grudge or feels like the label "former DCC" can't hurt and might help.

A box has more curvature than this 😂😂😂.  This organization is becoming almost comical .  There is nothing feminine, dainty or sexy about her or her look. I’m curious to know what base they feel she lends herself to ?  

[SmpIsimon]

At one point, she had a blog that had a lengthy post about her dismissal. She sounded pretty bitter and suggested it was designed to play out for maximum drama. I think she had to take it down as there was some behind the scenes things in there.

Exactly. Pull up a squad photo from ten years ago and compare it to the current crop, and you’ll be shocked at the difference in appearance of the girls.

I’m sure that’s true for many, but for those who find her views repugnant, it undermines the integrity of the organization that they’d use her as an ambassador for the brand. 

I agree. I loved her and miss her!

 

Can someone help Lisa find her neck? She looks like an evil hobbit. 

Danielle is my all time FAVE DCC! Perhaps its bc she's from the Northeast like me. I always thought, oh she and I could be friends in real life, haha...

Ummm Lisa's pic here... HOW does Kelli think this is a DCC look? To quote VK, I have no words for this pic, she looks like she could eat someone, MK... :-)

100%!!! I liked Lisa in the beginning - I have so much respect for these women who are maxing out both sides of their brain with STEM majors/jobs and using dance as a creative outlet. And I like the sporty cute gals too...a passion for strength and fitness has a place on the team and as a role model too (Lauren, Stephanie, etc.) Lisa can be glammed up enough to fit in just fine, great hair and a pretty smile. She makes poor clothing choices for her body type IMO, but that could just be the old lady in me and preference in fashion. 
 

But no group leader picked her for the team? OUCH. I was out.

Her Instagram was wild for a minute there but she seems to have settled down a bit!  Could use a little help toning down the MAC force field, but there are worse things.

Thanks for updating me on Chelsea!  How could I have forgotten those huge knockers she got??

Fiance actually, not boyfriend. And very fancy. 

[vivianspoetry]

Regarding past points, I think Holly is the gold standard that I’ve seen. Her face is as America’s Sweethearts as you can find. And her body is as naturally sexy as possible.

If you think this is funny, just wait until you hear what’s really going on with him. There’s a big rumor floating around in town and this isn’t some football related drama. Sydney is going to feel extra dumb in the next few months. Hint hint. Seems to me she has no idea who this guy truly is and what his real life outside of booty calls with her looks like 😂

Supposedly Cassie was complaining about the amount of camera time rookies were getting at the calendar shoot.  Olivia told her off, and at auditions, Judy told the judges she was toxic.  So, not a locker room fave for one DCC:)

Didn't she have multiple SM posts about how "damaging" DCC was to her psyche because of the weight thing & her cut & how it took her so long to overcome that?

If it was that damagong, I wouldn't be promoting them in any way and certainly wouldn't be "honored" to be invited to alumni events. I'd be distancing myself from them as far as possible.

Not a single DCC has commented on Kristin's post -- it's pretty rare for that to happen.  Shows you how well thought of she is by her teammates.  Poor thing.

Edited to add: About 30 minutes after I posted this, Erin commented.

Probably the most beautiful point they ever got. I remember reading the 2014 thread and that some people were kinda surprised she got point. She absolulety deserved the prime spot

Before work ended on Friday, we got an email encouraging smart choices this weekend. I wonder if Kelli said anything to the girls and if they're listening or continuing to do what there been doing which is ignoring the smart choices.

She really does have a masculine build. Big shoulders, torso and arms you can’t see on DCC blue. Those man hands and veins are not cute. She doesn’t look buff to me just manly.

Question:  Are their performances restricted to touchdown decks only? 

If so; there really wouldn't be any way to stay 6 feet apart.   

Also, I don't see them sticking to any type of social distancing for an entire football season.

There is a post on her insta about how hard it was to go back to the stadium to watch a game and it's taken her until 2019 to do so, its the pic of her and her fiance in cowboys jerseys.

While I understand things could be difficult it does real a bit dramatic and attention seeking. Like if it was that traumatic why go back?

Kind of like Vivian, who has talked about her DCC experience on several podcasts - as a guest and as a host, social media, a blog, created a fundraiser cause of it, filmed YouTube videos, etc.  Cause you know -  she has moved on:)

I listen to pods while running and in a moment of desperation I tuned into Vivians. It was interesting to say the least.  There is a difference between being confident and conceited! Girl needs to back away from the microphone.

The first things that came to mind is that he's either going to announce he's getting married (and it's not to the mother of his child - I seem to remember someone saying he has one - OR to Sidney) or that it's going to come out that he has multiple side pieces and Sidney's not the only one.  Or both.
