It cant be A right?. If someone says "consider retirement" you should retire.  

I guess B.

She does post a lot of them, but she said specifically that this one is her "mantra for next season." Though I agree with you, it could be referring to anything. Her fiancé has moved away. Fear of the unknown is always scary.

KDodd, you seem like a lovely human being, but God is real busy right now with a pandemic, plagues and fighting over the holy lands. Or possibly in the tub. Hard to say.  Please stop vaguebooking via verses.

Hopefully she realizes most of the recommendations to retire coming from forums are because of how horribly she was treated last season. Plus many posters think she shud go live her life in Nola with the bf and be happy. 

[Lona]

You know what? If sharing bible verses makes Kristin happy or calms her nerves going into audition season, then all the more power to her. 
 

I find her to be such a genuine and caring soul, and I honestly wish there were more DCC like her. 🙂

  Sadly, I can envision her being targeted by Kelli as “a veteran to cut” in TC this year.   Would not be shocked at all.

They are taking more than 20 new TCCs. They sure are upping the competition for the returning veterans, no doubt intentionally.

Perhaps she knows what "God's Plan truly is" she'd be better served knowing what TPTB's plan is bc sis could be on the chopping block... and I like her but they seem to not like her...

Legitimate question...  there has been frequent mention of “mean girls” and toxic girls in the locker room.  What does that mean??  My question is, what are they doing to get these labels?  They’re adults, not middle schoolers.  What do these adult ladies do??

Probably the same as the “mean colleagues” in many businesses. Those are typically the ones who feel they are better, entitled to more or people who think they can advance over other people’s backs...

Their acts or behavior ranges from nasty pranks, insults or simply tattling behind someone’s back.A lot of companies in many fields have them. If you’ve never encountered one, count yourself lucky! Age doesn’t matter btw.

Did Kelli change her mind and added more than 47 TCC’s?

Just a question to see what others think...Last year, I think many of us were surprised at some of the veteran cuts. Of the veterans with two or more seasons under their belt now, in your opinion:

1.) Who would be the most surprising/shocking veteran cut/s?

2.) Who would be the least surprising veteran cut/s?

Feel free to list more than one for each question. Also feel free to put your reasoning. A horse turned me into a human lawn dart and I want to think about something other than the fact I no longer bounce when I get pitched off, I shatter!

I'm not sure I'd be shocked by anything or anyone this season! I guess if they cut Gina or Lexie that would be something. But even the girls on show group aren't safe given last year's precedent.

If they can cut 4 vets during a horrifically difficult global pandemic - there is nothing stopping them this year in 2021. Maybe they'll cut them all and start totally fresh!

On a more realistic level - A blender like Jessica seems at risk given all the look alike training camp candidates.

Shocking for me: Caroline, Gina, Rachel W

least shocking: Kristin (i would be more shocked if she makes it back)

Anyone could be on the chopping block if Kelli needs a storyline. 

1. I am trying to think of someone that we don't see coming, a la Hannah. Daphne and Erin could be surprise cuts - ie cut just for ratings and storyline. Both are strong dancers / ambassadors but so was Hannah. 

2. I wonder about Kat, Lisa, and Kristen - the three dancers who are auditioning for their 3rd year who are not (yet) on show group. They all bring different attributes to the team but could be used for drama.

Oooooh good point, is there anyone who’s entering their fourth year who isn’t in (and has never made) show group? 

For third years, I think Lisa is fine, she flies under the radar and tends to be good at interviews (at least from what they’ve shown on the show lol). I think Kat won’t do too well in the beginning, but since she pulled it together last season I think they’ll also give her time this season to get it together too. I’ll be surprised if they don’t cut Kristin (I think she would have flown under the radar had she not made a scene about her solo on the show). It’s crazy how there’s already so few from this class. 
 

I’d be shocked if Gina, Rachel W., Caroline, Amanda or Kelcey got cut. Anyone else wouldn’t be too shocking. I think there’ll be at least two vet cuts just to make things ✨interesting✨

Also, saying you are taking a leave and not retiring is entitled. You are assuming you are coming back with no need to re-audition or she's received some special waver by Kelli.. wouldn't surprise me.

Sheesh that makes it worse. She needs a new PR person. Just say that you made a decision. Saying that you made a "brave, mature and unselfish decision" is odd and honestly promotes much more speculation as to what the heck she's talking about.

That being said, I wish her well. I'm sure it was a difficult decision (the word difficult could have been used on her post!). 

[MonaMechelle]

I am baffled as to what kind of personal issues require a “brave, mature and unselfish” decision to step away. And it’s interesting to see how many current and former DCCs who are commenting with so much support on her post.

There is such a precendence that all returning vets must re-audition, I don't think this will change for Victoria.

A "brave, mature and unselfish" decision reads to me that she's not doing it for herself. Perhaps a parent or loved one has terminal cancer, hence the loyal support from her teammates.

[Monique]

I'm honestly shocked that Victoria is getting this much love, support from her teammates. Even that former and current DCC are acknowledging this makes things more suspect for me.
 

And is this “unselfish” because she's giving up her spot for someone else?

That’s how I took it—this is her life. Her entire life. She reauditioned after her crap first tryout. I get that that tryout was cringe af. But for her to say that…something is more demanding than her dance life and I can only see it as something family related. 
 

if it’s over locker room drama or weight, sometimes you need to check yaself before you wreck yaself on National tv. 
 

I wish we could let these young women grow up and learn. People do change and if she was so decrepit, I’m pretty sure there would be more leaks.  My opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️

She’s received lots of support from her teammates and DCC alumni, but no one has sent prayers her way, so I’m not sure it’s terminal cancer in the family etc. Its all “love you sis, you are beautiful and brave.”

If this is truly an unselfish reason for leaving that deserves concern or sympathy, they surely are not rolling this out well. 

Is it possible she is taking a year off to pursue something non-DCC related and doesn’t have the time to commit to the team, irking Kelli and Judy?

Well medical information is private and cannot be disclosed unless the patient specifies it is ok to do so. So any commenters in the know would likely tread carefully.

My other thoughts are a suicide attempt, a substance abuse problem, or severe eating disorder. Getting treatment for these problems is "unselfish" because you are relieving the burden you are putting on others that care about you.  These would also be medical reasons, and protected.

Isn't that another way to say "I never fall off.  I do equine assisted random gravity checks"?  Yes, I've had a few of those myself, but fortunately without a more serious injury then the occasional bruise, strained or sprained muscle.  At least, not yet.

The only person to have made it back without auditioning in the entire history of the team was Kelli herself (and the story I remember hearing was because so many girls were retiring that year that she was basically begged to stay and told that, if she did, she wouldn't have to audition).  I doubt Kelli would want to relinquish that title of "Only person in the history of the team who didn't have to audition" for ANYONE, including Victoria.

31 minutes ago, StellaCL said:

As mentioned above, Kelli was the only person in the history of the squad who was allowed onto the squad without auditioning for at least one year.  She won't want to relinquish being the ONLY one to have that so I doubt she'd let Victoria do it.  However, I could see Victoria being the ONLY one she'd at least consider doing it, even if she required Victoria to audition after all.

[Tuxcat]

I still think she's protecting her health by deciding to step aside this year.

On April 19 she was going into A++ self mode. By end of May we knew she had already decided not to audition.

Kelli  maybe called her in after that show group performance and said. "Hello? You don't want to be scrutinized for weight again on TV!" Victoria didn't appear in the second performance and went silent.

She may have tried to get to her A++ form and realized that it wasn't possible to do healthfully. She didn't want her weight to be yet another storyline.   So she chose to step away this year and protect her mind and body.

I can see that being brave and mature and unselfish (though I wouldn't have said that out loud).

I understand that people might not want to share private medical information on an Instagram post but I also don’t think her friends would comment “You are beautiful, sis!” if her parent was dying.  But hey, that’s just me.

Yeah it seems a little out of place, but at the same time Judy's relationship with Victoria is going to be different than the relationship that Victoria has with the other women on the team.

The other DCC are peers, while Judy is a coach and more of a maternal figure. I feel like in a tough situation, my friends would offer love and support, and the Judy's in my life would tell me to trust that everything will be okay. 

Also, I hope everything is okay with Victoria, this sounds more serious than Kelli just asking her to lose a couple pounds.

I agree on this. I think Hannah has commented on her post purely because it's mental health related. I can't see her and VK being close but she can relate to this.
