Does everyone try out or do they edit MTT for drama and make it seem like everyone tries out? Since they can edit the show I can't have faith in the show even if they say "everyone tries out" Drama:) Many of the girls had work or school and couldn't try out, but of course Kelli says they all try out. 30 minutes ago, Hailek said: What did Kristin get to political on??

Tuxcat April 27, 2021 Share April 27, 2021 I don't think there is any harm in acknowledging that the situation last year was different. Everything was different. I absolutely loathe the decisions made last year as I think DCC completely missed the mark. This humanitarian CHEER leading organization chose marketing and self promotion during a global pandemic. I hated it. But yes of course these rookies are DCC. I honestly don't see anyone arguing that they're not. But I also don't see any harm in acknowledging the differences in their experiences. I don't fault them - and I understand their specific challenges - but a part of me will always feel as if they capitalized on the vulnerability of the moment in time. And that just makes me less inclined to root for them. As said, I don't fault THEM, but I do fault the circumstances that surrounded their initiation. It was different and therefore I view them differently. And yes, of course they are hard workers, talented dancers and deserving of the uniform...but I still view them differently. I'm not sure why that's a bad thing. 1 6 Link to comment

Lunacat April 27, 2021 Share April 27, 2021 8 hours ago, cherryblossom said: One thing I notice on the first couple of cuts of the TCC were no big show of emotion. To me it just seemed like because they were not dancing for 4+ hrs nightly nor were they able to socialize together, there was not the degree of bonding to the other girls, the experience etc. I think they were more detached, sort of like the first day of class were no one knew each other. Did anyone else feel this upon reflection or was it just me? I felt the same way and I wonder if the pandemic and this year’s set up contributed to that feeling. Normally, lots of candidates travel to Dallas (if they don’t live there) for prep classes and of course tryouts. If a TCC makes it to camp, they are generally at least finding short term housing for the summer. So in a normal year, you’re already more invested in the process while this year was just all video work until TC. I think it was awesome that housing was paid for this year for camp due to the “bubble”, but I can see where you don’t feel as invested to fly in and have a super condensed TC and get cut midway through. It just feels like a regular ol’ audition at that point. I also think that you may have had more people try out on a whim this year rather than committing to being in Dallas for tryouts, so it was no harm no foul for them to get cut and fly back to their “normal” life. 2 Link to comment

Yeah this is a big reason for me. It seems obvious to me that vet retirements are being kept a secret on purpose. Like, if it's the girls themselves I understand. But we're in the last week of April and so far nada. I have no idea why they think kipping retirements will "drum up excitement." Here's an idea. If you want to keep some hidden, that's fine. But they've played their hand way too early with this. Most of the newer girls, through fans messaging them, have said they're coming back. But, to be honest I don't really care that much. I care about the S13 ones the most. You're telling me that out of the 12 of them, who saw Brennan and Hannah getting cut, not one has at least in private said she's done? I'm not playing these games. I'm a full-grown adult, and crap like this isn't "exciting" or "fun," it's frustrating and boring. 4 Link to comment

allitator April 30, 2021 Share April 30, 2021 (edited) Okay, just got caught up on this thread (right in time for auditions, haha). 1: I saw some posters mention that “things in Texas are open, they could do standard auditions”, but just because things are open there doesn’t mean that encouraging a group of “400 ladies” to fly in from around the world to audition is a great idea in a pandemic. Also, this way Kelli can still act like they have massive global appeal. I think if it were in person they’d have 150-ish people from the DFW area only and could basically just forego prelims. 2: Finals is for sure necessary, because I do believe that 3 out of the 4 vet cuts (Hannah is so awesome and had neverrrrr been on the chopping block even once) last year may have happened at finals, if it existed. Don’t waste a vet’s time. They owed all four of them more than that. It’s just cruel. 3: Have we complied a list of the vets who have officially said they’re returning? In my read-through I found Gina, Taylor J., Kelcey, and Lisa. Anyone I’m missing? 4: I doubt the show will go away until VK finally does. They wouldn’t want to lose even a second of the chance to show her A++++++++++ self being given point, leadership, cover girl, etc. Edited April 30, 2021 by allitator My phone refused to accept that “Kelcey” was actually spelled like that 3 Link to comment

The cowboy organization was sitting in a conf room that was plain on Thursday night... for once I can say I missed the glam and glitter.. And just like the players , I'm sure there are some wonderful college dancers who will be rising up hopefuls into the ranks of professional teams.. 1) What is the latest on the tryouts/TCC process - is it back to pre-covid , like last year or something else ? Not all of how they did it during covid was bad. I like that the TCC had some dances learned before arriving.. And I like having a few rehearsals with just them before the vets come. 2) If tryouts are like last year - is the general feeling is not to watch the show - esp. live , anymore ?

Time to go and experience life outside the DCC bubble that has occupied her entire adult life including the year she prepared for her comeback. If she's holding on for Pro Bowl, my bet is her co-point is going to get that one. Tess. a great 5 years, awesome kicks. Time to move on. Lexie. years on the Mavs and 4 years on DCC time to move on with her adult life. She made show group and this year a leader so she's done well. She's married and time to enjoy some nights with hubby instead of practice all the time. Savannah- years with the jets and then DCC. She is probably never going further than she's gone. Great ambassador especially with the military but time to go forward. Rachel A. Please do not go. Personally I hope she stays another year and makes the team with her buddy Tori who I believed got robbed this year. And they give Rachel A a leadership position which she deserved this year. She would make a great person for appearances to speak. Rachel W. Please stay. Hope she makes point again and group leader. As Melissa and Scott said, everyone loves her. Gina-she's already said she's coming back. Briana- Time to move on. Her body is clearly aging and slowing down and although she has style and class 3 years DCC and then her time with the Titans time to go. I know she was injured in the dance off but that was not her best at all. I truly think trying to hold on in your 30's is just that trying to hold on. Kristin. read the handwriting on the wall move on. Her posts now backpedaling after her blasting them for comments that I know I have heard worst was not a good look. Alanna. I'm on the fence but her engagement may cause her to leave and I think she's achieved all she can. Jalyn- I would say she's gotten as far with them as she is going to go and move on. Alora Rose. please do not come back. You are Kelli's project and next year will not be as easy. Please speak to Morgan and Meredith Kat- either grow up and lose the ditziness because that is not attractive in an adult woman and dance better or leave. Personally I hope we see 10 or more retirements so we can see girls move up and new girls make their dreams come true. I can't take another year of Kat. She's not Beyonce; she's not any prettier than most of the other girls in my opinion. But, her mouth moves her down on the pretty slide.

Trulyadorkable May 3, 2021 Share May 3, 2021 Several new posts since last I checked, so lots to comment on. I'm very happy to see that this years finals and TC will be the standard format we have come to expect. It allows for two things: 1) A normal finals (one full jam-packed day) and a full training camp (of 8 weeks) allows for so much more time for many things to occur that can become good material for story lines, tangential backstories, drama and the occasional funny or embarrassing moments that make for many entertaining episodes. All of that was missing last year and it is what makes the show as it gives us so much to comment, compare and argue about. Hah! 2) I want (need) to see everyone go through the rigors of a full training camp so I can feel like all of them truly earned their spot in the same way that so many in the past had to endure. I've mentioned that in some previous posts in regard to last season's abbreviated (and less rigorous) format. I know others have disagreed with my thoughts on that and that's fine, but 33 years ago I successfully went through a very difficult program that created a very high standard for those who endured. And over the years I have witnessed how making the program less challenging has created a much lower standard and a now much less regarded program. If DCC truly wants to be "world class" they have to keep the standards high. JMHO. Someone casually mentioned that Kelli and Judy are probably getting close to retirement which brings up thoughts on their replacements. Here are my thoughts. Jennifer Amburn in Kelli's position. I know, not popular among many of you but I saw in her someone who would uphold and maintain those standards I spoke of above. I think she also has great dance ability and instincts and could quickly master good managerial skills. Denise DiCharry in Judy's head choreography position. I like her teaching technique and I think she really knows how to get the girls motivated. I think these two would create a formidable team and be able to produce and maintain a top tier squad. Would love to hear your thoughts. 1 3 Link to comment

I wouldn't mind if she stayed another year, I am still a fan. I am neutral on Tess. We never get to see her dance, or much less on the show! Lexi- YES. Seriously, yes. Her look is the same, it's this painted on smile with the same heavy hair hanging down around her face. I never saw why she was one of K&J's favorites until I saw some youtube clips recently - she gives really solid performances, K&J can always count on her. Now I guess I am more neutral. I would like to add Taylor. I thought she would be cut way back in her rookie season. She's an okayish dancer, but she is outshone by many others around her. I am not sure why her spot is so guaranteed, yet they were so hard on Hannah, Kristin, Brennan, Tara, even Dayton.

She checks a lot of marks and season 15 screamed of we need more diversity on the team! Charlotte getting in her comment in the last espisode about loving Syndey's more curly hair, which came right after an article where Jacie was quoted about not being allowed to have natural hair as a DCC. It's all PR. I agree btw, they do need more diversity on the team. I don't think Kat is necessarily safe, but if she brings it, Kelli and Charlotte will keep her. Maybe the producers will have her sort of disappear into the background like many DCC we never get to see for the sake of avoiding repetiveness. That is probably my least favorite part of the show, excessively highlighting one person (Vivian, Morgan, Meredith) and you never get to see at least half the team and what makes them so good that they earn a spot.

I would be the least sad to see her retire. isn't she good friend's with kelli's daughter? she seems nice and cool but i find her boring as hell, in looks and dance. i mean she's pretty but not a dcc knockout type. maybe i haven't seen her dance enough to make a valid assessment but yeah edited to add: she reminds me of tess, a super tall and almost gawky brunette that fades into the background lol 14 minutes ago, StellaCL said: Wow, I am surprised, especially with her fiance moving to another state. Kinda makes me love her more. Hopefully K&J had enough backlash on social media that the target will be removed from her back.

Tuxcat May 3, 2021 Share May 3, 2021 Great list @Kitkatkitty! Re: Kristin. She did major damage control after she called out K and J. She was posting a lot about how thankful she was for DCC and Charlotte and blah blah blah. She may have even personally talked to K and J afterward and they likely reassured her that she is a valued member of the "sisterhood." So, she may get a pass because K and J could potentially get backlash if they cut her - given what they did to her last year. That could save her. Or Kelli could be chomping at the bit to spin this web and maximize the Kristin arc and cut for drama. Either way, she answered the question. So perhaps there is no gag order after all 3 Link to comment
DCCland May 3, 2021 Share May 3, 2021 I wonder why jacyie isn’t auditioning this year I thought she got a pass to training camp since she didn’t want to go last year due to Covid? And still no retirement announcements? Omg I cannot 3 Link to comment
