2021 Audition Speculation

DCC In trouble... hmm... Kristen, Alora, Jessica, who else?

For veterans I think Taylor will be outdanced. But they will keep her, because they always do.

Also, I think Lisa. She has turned into a female body builder. I wonder if that is her next trajectory after she leaves DCC. Body building competitions! She doesn't have that DCC flair, so in a sense that makes her weaker. I liked her her rookie season, but she seems a bit of an outsider amongst the group. 

Unfortunately Kat and Kristin have been highlighted in the past as weaker. I hate that, I like both of them, and want them to be better and to stay around.

Then there may be a surprise veteran, like Hannah last season. No viewer saw that coming, but the more I think about it, I think a few DCC maybe didn't like her. That "mean girl" stuff again. 

As far as the rookies, I posted on here in the past I thought Dani and Ellie were safe. Now I am not so sure any of them are safe! The competition seems crazy this year. Jada has been prepping a ton, but her long limbs will always make her stand out from the group. I think Alora Rose is a serious dancer and can handle this competition despite them using emotional footage last season (how else do you survive NYC auditions?), but whether or not K&J still like her, I don't know? The producers can easily spin her any way they choose too and the viewers will likely buy it.

I wonder if they will really stick to 36 this season or go a bit higher.

I thought Kat and Armani both looked a little soft in pics from the banquet,  but recent videos of Armani make me think it was her dress that made her look a bit out of shape.

I personally think all the girls look fine as far as shape. I also think based on who they took last year and this year to TC they have moved on from the super thin body to a more realistic, womanly, but still fit and healthy looking image. I think there are TCC this year bigger than any vet who would be on weight watch

You mean like Jessica, Dani, McKenzie, Marissa, Victoria, Lexie, Amanda, Erin, and Gina?

Certainly being blonde has never been a hinderance to making the team or having fans.

Just commenting because of all the Blonde hate on this thread and continued mention of lack of diversity.  

[Emchammy]

Where did the whole Kelsey Lowrence rumour come from?! And if it’s true, are we sure she didn’t make it? I feel like it would make a great storyline so I’m surprised Kelly wouldn’t have let her through and then cut her just for the coverage on the show?

Mentioning the lack of diversity certainly does not equal blonde hate. If someone hates blondes, watching DCC MTT would be an exercise in frustration.

I think because she was seen taking some prep classes. People speculated that she might try to try out again. But it could be she was just taking them for fun, or to keep dancing and stuff. No one knows at the moment.

Right? Kelsey got a whole retirement send off feature in either season 13 or a behind the scenes moment posted on social media (I can't remember which). They definitely do not treat all retirees that way.

Interestingly enough, I found this tidbit on wikifandom:

"During Season 13, she (along with Chantel and Elizabeth) does not perform at the NFL draft with the other retiring veterans, nor is she really acknowledged as a retiree."

https://making-the-team.fandom.com/wiki/Kelsey_(S11_Rookie)#Misc.

This is obviously wrong, because I know I did not hallucinate her retirement interview.....

She may have had a retirement feature at some point, maybe it was on social media. But yeah I remember she wasn't featured on the show as a retiring vet that year. They may have shown, or mentioned her, but she had already left when they had the other girls doing something on the show. Hope that makes sense lol

I initially brought it up because I'd seen her at Jenn's classes a few times. And Jenn's classes are audition prep classes. I know some people just go for fun but there are other dance classes to go to if you just want to dance. Isn't she close go Stephanie DeBias? Wouldn't she go to her classes if she was just dancing for fun? Or has Jenn's classes become the new place to be now that Michelle Keyes has left Dallas? 

 

Just me speculating! Not trying to start rumours haha

Glad for the clarification and even though not my fav hope everything is OK with her. Sounds like they are letting her take the year off rather than actually leaving so maybe will come back as a 3rd year next year rather than needing to be a rookie again.

[kalibean]

I’m glad she let us know she was mature, brave and not at all selfish in her decision to take a break. I think she probably doesn’t realize how awkwardly worded that is and doesn’t realize it sounds like she’s patting herself on the back for being such a big girl. At least I hope so!  I think she’s a perfectly fine DCC in most respects but boy was that 😬😬😬😬😬 for me.

[Erinbridget]

I'm not a Victoria fan, but I'm thinking, IF it's a weight issue, that it's either 1 she gained weight, it has affected her mental health, and wants to take time of to focus on her without the stress of DCC's weight standards; or 2 she may have lost control and lost too much causing her to develop an ED and is using this time to go into an impatient or outpatient program for recovery. As someone who has been struggling with anorexia for years, I know how difficult taking that step is and her comment about it being a brave and unselfish decision would make sense. IF this is what caused her to step down, I will back her decision 100%.

You are completely right. The use of the words brave and unselfish make sense while used in this context. I do not need an insider to understand what this post of Victoria was all about.

[Agent Gully]

I don't think VK's statement is from her own thoughts. It sounds a bit like the wording of a press release. When we are going through a hard time, most of us do indeed "have no words". I think she was given some ideas of what she could say and she put them verbatim in her post.

The adjectives chosen (mature, brave, unselfish) could be aimed at a number of things from substance abuse, an eating disorder, to perhaps being pregnant and deciding to have the baby and not take the other option just to stay on the field. I would say a mental health issue, but dear "Aunt Kelli" seems to have little empathy for that judging by the way she dealt with Hannah. 

Whatever the issue is, I do realize that it is none of my business, despite my curiosity and speculations. While not a fan of hers, I certainly do wish her all the best. 

[corrieb90]

I've just seen on instagram victoria is taking a break from dcc. She is one of my favourites. I really hope she re auditions. I thought maybe one day she could be the point of the triangle.

I hope she doesn't have to go through the re auditioning process, but from what I've seen in the seasons they have to re audition.

[Busy]

Any vets cut?

[perrie97]

Victoria posted about auditioning on the 20th of April on Instagram, so it sounds like taking leave may have been a more recent decision.

I am indifferent to Victoria, neither a fan or disliking of her, but she is the last person I’d expect to not re-audition, so something pretty serious must be up. Regardless of what you think of Victoria, having to give up what you love is tough and I do hope to see her back next season as I’m sure it would heartbreaking if something she is so passionate about was cut short due to her personal issues, and I don’t wish that for anyone. I really hope she’s okay and getting the help she needs.

Absolutely, she has a great sense of humor and will probably think this is funny.

Besides, MTT has made her look like a complete fool before, so why even run the risk of giving them another chance to completely humiliate yourself on national tv? I also see nothing strange about her attending Jenn's classes. They did cheer together and may have bonded then. She also teaches the DCC-style Kelsey likes. So probably just for fun.

Lastly, isn't Kelsey almost 30? That's pretty old for a TCC! (Though I wish I was still that age...)

Ok then I'm going to make some more wild guesses lol

Rebecca Troyak (rebeccatroyak)

• Was on season 15 of SYTYCD (Kelli would die)
• Followed by a few DCC including Marissa very recently 
• Tori and Erin commented on her latest post

Kya Shae (kyashaebuttah)

• Might still be on the Utah Jazz Dancers so maybe not
• Followed recently by at least Tori, Amber, Marissa, and Armani
• So pretty would love her on the team

So you may be interested to know that Kya Shae is now followed by ALL the tcc , both confirmed by themselves and those that make me crazy and just hint at it. Lol! Be funny if they were just messing with us.  But when you first posted your guess it was only a few of them.  
Also Bret is following.  Any chance she auditioned again? I just loved her. Lemonbus?

I know this sounds mean, but I hope she does.  Any other candidate would have to.  She’s not my fav, but I really hope and pray she’s OK and resolves what has caused her to make this decision.

[TB12]

I’m beyond over the drama that is Victoria...  brave, mature & unselfish seriously she’s a freaking cheerleader not curing Cancer. What she needs to do is get far away from the bubble that is DCC, her mother & the enablers. She has no clue what the real world is like & perhaps it would do her some good maybe she should go on a mission trip & serve someone beyond herself...

Hopefully that is her plan.  

[Weeklydcc]

Brave, mature and unselfish sound like words someone used to describe her when she told them her decision, maybe her parents or the TPTB.  Sounds like she repeated someone's praise for her.  Just my take.  Hope she's OK.

She must go through the entire process for her own sake, if she comes back!  If she's selected just like that, it will be the entire nepotism thing again. Not fair to others but definitely not fair to Victoria either because it would rob her of a chance to start with a clean slate (or as clean a slate as possible) I'm sure some time away from the DCC and mommy dearest will do her good.

grammatical error

[CrazyInAlabama]

Others who were either cut, or quit for a year or two had to re-audition, and skipping right to the finals like the other vets would be glaringly obvious favoritism for VK, and would be totally unfair.   Unfortunately, my guess is 50/50 that she'll go right to finals in spite of what it will look like.

To me, the words brave, mature, and not at all selfish indicate she's doing this for someone else.  Perhaps someone in her family is ill and she's taking a LOA to help with their recovery.

Hi everyone. This is my first time commenting but what do we think of Ashley being a traning camp candidate? 

Here is her instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ash_willll/

I believe she is or was a Miami Dolphins cheerleader. 

This is her bio page for the Dolphins 2020 team: https://www.miamidolphins.com/cheerleaders/roster/ashley

She follows the following training camp candidates: Tyra, Tori, Christina, Amanda, Kylie, Presley, Amber, Jensen, Madisyn, Bri, Kaydianna, Jordann, Megan, and Mel.

Training Camp candidates Madisyn and Kaydianna follow her. 

Current DCC Armani also follows her.

She's for sure on my maybe's list the only thing is that Marissa isn't currently following her not that that means anything. I'd love her to be a TCC though.

Here is my unconfirmed guess list

• Lea Tunnell (leatunnell)
  • Followed by the majority of TCCs plus at least Marissa and following several TCC/DCC
• Darian Tisdale (itsdariandarling)
  • For sure auditioned, now following several DCC/TCC, followed by at least Marissa and Darian
  • She is less likely than the other two just based on TCC followers
• Ashley (ash_willl)
  • everything mentioned in the comment above
  • Cailey, Alora-Rose, Amber L, and Kya commented on her latest post

I know it's an unlikely rumor but Elli and Marissa both followed Kelsey super recently lol

GREAT CHART for great clarity and it got me worried.

I don't think that my sweet Madeline Salter stands a chance against these girls. There are just too many great dancers. At least 7 girls. Madeline can dance for sure but she isn't the powerhouse-core strength-dancer these girls are. And Madeline is pretty but there are at least 10 beauty pageant pretty girls in TCC!

The blender girls on the squad should worry as well. I like Kristin and I think she is really pretty but she was foolish enough to stand up against the misrepresentation of her solo. That could come back and haunt her.

The competition has never been so FIERCE!
