Has someone saw a video of yesterday with Claire in it?

Claire looked pretty good. She blended in well, which is a good thing because if they were standing out yesterday it was mostly because of mistakes.

okay, where do you find these videos? or can you post a link or something here in the forum?

 

Thanks

I watched them on a Facebook group, the owner of the videos has asked they not be shared into here and I’m going to respect that request.

If her name wasn't Victoria Kalina, no one would be bothered by this photo 🙊

It isn't that it wasn't a good photo (I think it was a good photo of a pretty girl and I'm not a Victoria fan by any means), but the makeup and the hair does her absolutely NO justice and accentuates possible flaws.  If the makeup and hair was better, I would have thought the photographer just caught her face at the wrong time.  However, the makeup accentuates that her eyes looked funky and that her mouth was no better.  I think it's been said in studies that, when something doesn't match the image, our eyes go straight to the thing that is wrong instead of seeing the whole picture.

I respect that you are respecting their request, but come on!?! Do they think we are that awful that they don't want us to see the videos??  I know we can be harsh but I feel we are always fair...yes, obvious mistakes will be pointed out, but credit is always given when due.

More the way the poster is received or comments made against them from what I understand. Which if that’s how they feel I’m not going to be the arse to share or be the one to make them feel bad, they did have a fair amount of videos of various routines and Alora and someone else said Jessica were so out and struggling. I think from reading the comments someone had posted a video or shot of the video then saw the post asking for them not to shared on here and apologised for it

I'm kinda in the same boat.  If I'm being honest the thing I dislike most about VK is how the show forces her down our throats at every turn and the double standard she was held to during auditions, but in fairness that probably isn't her fault (at least not entirely). So I agree that it's good photo. But I also wish she'd tone down the make-up as I don't think she needs that much.

From this video and others posted on Facebook I can tell that the order of girls in this video is Victoria, Alora Rose, Jessica, Madeline, Armani, Claire, Gina?, maybe Rachel W,  and then I can't tell after that. They all look pretty good in this video but Alora Rose and Jessica especially stumbled a lot during actual game time I think partially because they couldn't hear the music very well. 

This post shows Rookies McKenzie, Jada, and Marissa.

Don't the cheerleaders just block the view of the game from the touchdown decks? It's hilarious to me in the pictures it looks like people are trying to look through them to see what's going on

Like most of the speculations and accusations

My eyes get drawn to Ashton every time in that episode 😍

Yes, I agree, I love Ashton ~ and I really like Sarah.   Never have been a big fan of Mia ~ she still has that whiny-sing song/bratty/ snotty tone in her voice......then there's Tina.  She reminded me of Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

[kalibean]

I think VK looks great in that pic, and since I like the Barbie thing, I'm on board for the make-up too.  Even the hair looks pretty solid, for gametime hair.  The issue she has is that her hair always looks like she's been on the field for four hours.  Mussed and dancing my butt off hair while dancing is absolutely agreeable to me.  This must have been taken pretty early on during the game.

Rachel W instantly recognizable in those instagram pics, even with the mask on, and sigh she has some glorious hair.  I try to channel her hair tutorial when I'm actually bothering to style mine.  Which is not as often as it should be these days!

Struggling with Marissa, must like how the DCC are struggling to stay in sync and in decent lines on the touchdown deck.  Can anyone at the game verify what they did during game play?  I would assume they're only on the touchdown deck dancing during literal touchdowns and during quarter changes as to not block the view.

Does anyone knows rookie Sydney her Instagram?

From the videos I saw and info from the poster they are on the decks the whole game including half time. They sat down and had a water break on the decks during half time between doing the non field version of thunderstruck and another dance.

So I’ve just been watching videos from last nights game of the routines, and I hate to say it for you Alora lovers so looked sooooo bad I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s hauled into the office and offered extra help, Victoria actually had the power in her routines but Alora actually forgot moves, started one routine obviously late you see her look at Victoria then start dancing 

Victoria actually stumbled a few times, I wish I could share the videos I saw her fall off but it makes sense considering that she’s exaggerating her moved on a slippery surface she’s not used to. I didn’t see anyone else fall off moved though. Alora was BAD. That being said, i think having them dance on these decks was an awful decision. Their routines look good because of the rotations, the level changes, the positions they have on the field. They are now dancing in a line and it looks like they are still supposed to “follow the leader” into a random short routine, so by the time the ends of the row have caught on, the routine is over. The lines were definitely off and I can’t even tell who was off count, as it looked really messy.

I think fellow teammate just like her but it will probably thrown on "They have to comment or they will get cut" lol

If she wasn’t VK, she wouldn’t be covering herself in pink so I don’t think it’s fair to imply our only issue is with VK specifically because she’s VK and not because her makeup is objectively bad. If anyone has any other examples of dccs using shades that don’t flatter them or apply vivid pink blush all over their faces, feel free to share. In fact, I’m sure Tasha got the same “treatment” when she was using that awful pink lipstick that did her no favors.

I do think it's one of her better field photos. But she needs to get rid of the hot pink lipstick ASAP and that hair is not doing her any favors. Also is it just me or does she always up the brightness filter whenever she posts her field photos? It's kind of too much to be honest. 

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I would make VK a brunette ala Milan, or at least make her a darker blonde. It'll make her stand out more in a good way and not in a fake 40 year old Barbie kind of way.

When Tasha changed up her lipstick from bubblegum pink she went from a pretty girl to gorgeous.

[lctheobald]

Rookies are no longer in the second row where they can look to see what dance their group leader chooses for each song.

so I can see if rookies are on the end that they would be late figuring out what routine they are supposed to dance to.

Just catching up, so have a few thoughts.  

1. I think Neal McCoy is a judge because of the fact the show airs on CMT, but he also does bring an "everyman" quality to the panel, which is what most Cowboys fans are.  I do agree that he is mostly shown commenting on appearance, but again, that's what most fans do judge them on.  

2. That was as good of a pic of VK as you'll see in that gameday Instagram photo.  What frustrates me is why she didn't just show up in that shape her first year auditioning.  A huge part of the initial backlash toward her was the fact that she was way overweight by DCC standards, yet was kept around in TC despite showing little to no progress in that regard.  I agree that she's overly criticized by some, but she is just as equally overly victimized by some.  

3. Those decks were visibly an annoyance to the fans seated in the end zone.  The cheerleaders don't like them and they obstruct the view of the field.

I give the rookies a break for being a bit messy because this is all new for them and they don't have anyone to follow like you said. They need to get used to this so for a first time, I think it went well enough

Exactly...they show him being silly with the "She's Hot!" comments at least once, but only in the 'private' meeting...If you notice him in the panel interviews and/or the open judging segments he's articulate, attentive and knows a natural entertainer when he sees one...And when he said Kelsey was HOT, he was just saying what everyone else was thinking....

I do think she tends to be on the too thin side these days (her abs do look toned & really good in this pic though), but she filters her instagram pics so much it's hard to tell how thin she really is and what is filter.

My favorite McCoy moment was when that woman peed on the floor during auditions, and Kelli was like "Say something!" to him to distract from the floor being cleaned.  LOL he had no idea what was even going on, but he did a good job!

YES YES YES. I like Gina more than I used to in the beginning. But I honestly think she photoshops her waist in every flippin' photo she posts and there is no need to at all. She would look perfectly fine without trying to convince us she has a corset-produced tiny waist yet somehow normal healthy toned legs. She's a great looking woman without the filters/photoshopping.

When Tasha was on the team there was a massive part of me that just thought ok I don't hate bublegum pink, but don't she have a different color? Just because she likes it ... but why can't she change it up once in a while.

 

As for Gina, I actually want to know how much she actually weighs. Her body is starting to remind me of Kelsey Bond and where she (Kelsey) was too thin (I think it was Kelsey Bond anyway) because she has had that health problem and got too thin and Kelli had to tell her to "eat and fatten up" and Kelli also then said "we have never had to tell a girl to fatten up/gain weight before"

Candace Romo totally won me over during that episode too - hilarious and so honest about her experience doing the same when the adrenaline got going when she ran track, I think she said.   Hanging out with her and Tony is probably a delightful experience...so funny!  And he's BY FAR my favorite announcer these days.  Absolutely worth that monster contract he got, and I swear he'd be a killer coach too.  The man can read a defense a mile away.  I get why Dak replaced him, but still. Nothing but charm.  Some people just have a little something extra, you know?

I am a part of that particular FB group.  I agree that they shouldn't just come over here and steal and not give credit.  Plus it is a big old waste of my time to see everything twice.  But in this particular case, the poster that attended the game specifically asked that her stuff not be copied over here.  She explained her fears, and I personally didn't agree with them.  But I would still always respect someone that specifically asked that something not be copied.  It's a fun group, you should go join!

Okay that is a good photo of VK. I watched all the videos on shade and sun and sheesh what a mess. VK actually looks like a vet and Alora is a hot mess y’all.

I'll be sad to see her retire. I reckon she'll retire after this season. She's over 30 now and with her bestie Brennan gone, she won't hang around any longer. 

I gravitate towards the more mature, educated women on the team, like B & B, rather than the 18 year olds that make it.

I don’t disagree with you at all.  I think they’d all look a lot younger and fresher if they went back to a more natural look, especially for cameos (I tend to think of field makeup as akin to stage makeup — it’s got to be overdone so you can see it from the cheap seats, so I’ll give that some leeway).
 

The DCC management seems to love the overdone Barbie look — big hair, big smile, lots of makeup, hair extensions, fake eyelashes, fake tans, fake boobs, fillers, etc.  It seems to be getting worse over the past several years. For some reason, having them all look like cast members on the Real Housewives franchise seems to be a feature, not a bug.  🤷🏼‍♀️

To me, this Barbie look makes them less liked by women. It's very catered towards what most men like. Women would probably prefer them to have a more natural look.
