People are shocked and outraged by the idea that the girls are being “forced” to get vaccinated… the same girls who are assigned haircuts and hair colors without their input, told what to wear on an a

Sorry, but for people who have to study hard to answer simple general questions to join the team, deciding not to take a vaccination is really a big overestimation of their ability to make sense of al

I don’t have time or really care to read through whatever transpired last night. I don’t know the other poster and I am positive they don’t know me. And it looks like they don’t know much information

Yeah I just heard the Olympics may not happen because of all the athletes testing positive. I wouldn't be shocked if DCC went back to what they did last year.

Olympics should never have been a go ahead, bringing how many people from how many countries into a country with only 20% vaccination rates? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hopefully because there isn’t such travelling happening (I would assume?) for home games and safety precautions are taken then they can be on the field.

There has been another cut.

Many on the team have vocally expressed concerns regarding Gina’s weight. Her in person weight is frightening. And they don’t believe she is a good role model for young women.

Wow. Thank you for the info. I don't know how Gina performs, and performs so well, at her current weight. I hope she gets some help.

Agree with everything here, but just wanted to touch on that bolded part. One of the main frustrating things for me these past years/seasons is that there really HAS been a community centered around the show. Most (I hope at least lol) of us here want to see these ladies succeed and be built-up, not teared down (Hannah, Brennan, Lily) or belittled (Kristin).

To the editors of the show: If you spend a whole season, or seasons in the case of some (Ex. Brennan) showing us how "classy, mature and well-educated" these women are, then we will assume that they ARE "classy, mature and well-educated" women. Therefore, if you treat them horribly and try to make us believe otherwise? Yeah, we don't want to see that. And thus the "community" will turn against it. 

Hope I'm making sense.

You are making total sense! If you look at the seasons where the show was really taking off, TPTB were really making much more of an effort to establish a community & to court our interest. I mean that's why they were doing the fan favorite vote and showing the solos on the DCC social media platforms. They liked that we were invested, but once we all starting noticing things that were not consistent (both for the rules and for their standards) and started calling them out for it, all of a sudden the level of sharing from TPTB started to drop. And of course there's also the issue of how they build up and claim to want girls like Brennan, Lily, Jalyn who give their all & work hard only to tear them down or throw them away at a whim. Personally I think Kelli would rather we all just watch & keep quiet.

So I grabbed the screenshot to look at hem length on the shorts LOL. But the first thing I noticed was how tiny Gina was compared to the others. That being said, she has a naturally small build and works very hard - she doesn't look (to me anyway) to be sickly.  

I do understand the concern though. DCC has to be very careful about the messages it sends. I hope she's okay and I think it's very brave of the other girls to speak up. They absolutely should.

i mean, in theory, adoration/fondness can coexist with concern, no?

I mean, “fondness” to me is saying something positive on an Instagram picture or something like that. Being voted “Veteran of the Year” and then saying she’s “not a good role model” would be quite bizarre. Something isn’t right here. 🤔

Absolutely. I think the wording might be the issue here. It's admirable to express concern for someone's health. It's just as important to understand the incredible power of social media and DCC as they influence entire generations of girls. I think the discussion is vital. It's also so important to erase any type of stigma. There should be ZERO shame in talking about body image issues. 

That being said, yes - it shouldn't be a gotcha moment which is what Dr. M is likely reacting to. But I don't think lemonbus is really revealing it for that reason.

I guess I'm just taking 'not a good role model for girls' less negatively than others, haha. I'm not reading that as, like, dissing someone's character, but just being like, 'My friend isn't fulfilling this important, super public role the way they should right now, and I'm concerned about the effects that might have on young, impressionable fans.'

TPTB should WANT us more invested, more engaged with the show.  Maybe even LISTEN to the fans when they point something out instead of ignoring it because it's not what they want to hear.  Instead, it's more like the bolded part, they want us to sit down. shut up, and turn off our brains so we don't think about the things they show us, even when it doesn't make sense.

I think they have every right to be concerned about her weight.  On a group of tiny women (multiple people have said that the girls are SMALL/TINY/etc. in person), she's often described as even smaller than they are and I'm not just talking about their height.  If she's so tiny that her in-person weight is generating THAT much worry and concern, there's a good possibility that she's not a good role model for a group that's already targeted for body shaming, eating disorders, and other health issues.  I'd rather they look up to Gina because she's an amazingly talented dancer, not because she's smaller then might be healthy for her or for others.  THAT'S probably the reason that people think she's not a good role model.

Gina does those extra little head pops and things that Kashara used to do. She looked awesome!

And Lord have mercy does Kelsey have some long legs.

Gina looks AMAZING!!  Even in her most altered photos, she looks better than Daphne or Tess, whose skinny bodies gave them the lollipop effect (large head on teeny tiny body).  Frail or haggard comes to mind looking at them.  Tess’ implants look unnatural, like natural flotation devices!  Put Gina next to them, and she’s proportional and healthy, lithe, looking!!

Gina looks great in this performance.  I do not find her too jokery.  At. All.

IF they must have (2) points, I hope TPTB give Gina the meatier, 2nd point.  She will do a stellar job and Girl has earned it. 

 

 

Gina looks amazing in this!! I could literally feel her excitement from the screen. I'm happy that she's having her moment in the sun. I think she deserves it. She's given so much to DCC...and this is coming from some who didn't even like Gina at first! I also would of bet good money that Gina was a one season and done TCC. Now I'm rooting for her to be point. 

 

Ugh!! We need names of the resent cuts! A hint! At least a hair color?!  Fingers crossed for team come back girls!

Will not be sharing, only confirming, any new information moving forward. This is fun for me, never serious enough to start accusing other posters. Hopefully others will be able to provide their information. 🙂

Speculation has listed various names.

Can you confirm Mel, Lea, or Jordann as cut?

Can’t help but wonder if the girls who reportedly reported Gina being so thin, was jealousy rearing its ugly head?  Or are the girls all besties? 😆 they wouldn’t throw their sister DCC under the bus!  LOL!  K and J would only use it for drama!

Have always shied away from discussing appearance/weight on forums, but feel compelled to jump in here to defend Gina.  In person she's definitely thin and very fit, but she has a petite frame in general.  To say that any of the girls on the team are "frighteningly" thin is definitely a stretch.  Jalyn is probably the thinnest DCC in person, but again, she has a very narrow frame and her body does not look unhealthy, just skinny and fit. 

While the concern expressed may be coming from a place of compassion, to call Gina a poor role model is uncalled for and frankly untrue.  Gina is a great role model; she's an incredibly hard worker and makes it a point to treat EVERY fan with warmth and respect.
