I guess, honestly, not knowing what’s going on doesn’t really bother me.  It certainly doesn’t make me uninterested in watching the show.  Most reality TV works without people being in the know anyway, The Bachelor is an example of this.  I feel lucky when we get tidbits of info, but not angry when we don’t.  

I don’t expect us to know everything.  

Good for them if they can keep a cap on it this year.  I’m sure more info will come out as the show airs, behind the scenes stuff.

Just putting it out there… 

Thank you for your post. It is exactly how I feel.

I do not think I could stop watching just because TPTB are keeping it a secret.

Someone on Reddit said that Christina made the team.

I am very happy Christina made it. The DCC needs her glamour and beauty.

The rumors that Madeline Salter did not make it, makes my stomach hurt. I shudder to think.

I know I made a comment abt it could be one of the come back girls and they are hiding it due to backlash but didn’t say for sure it was Madeline

I see your point, but I think the difference that most of us started watching DCC for the DANCE.  Being dancer-obsessed was after the fact.  With shows like the Bachelor, it is all about the contest from the get go.

Unfortunately, I am dance and singing obsessed 😂

You know, my wishlist for updates to this show would be for them to run the show with less post production changes.  Run it two weeks or even a month behind actual time, give TPTB less of a chance to use the show and production changes to spin the story line and to “make the team”.  This would give the girls the opportunity to announce they made the team earlier.  

Start us off with an episode or two about things that happened during the year, before auditions.  Show us the rookies getting their rings and the presentation of ROTY and VOTY.    Make MTT more about the ladies and less about the challenges faced by Kelly and Judy.

Do special long episodes, like finals, make overs and/or first game night, to get us more interested in the incoming candidates.  Or stretch these events out into two episodes.  Add more show group performances to episodes.  Can you imagine a live show for finals to pull in the interest in the newer ladies and future episodes?  Can you imagine what that might do for ratings?  It would absolutely make it more about the dancing at least for some episodes.  

Oh, and get rid of the showmanship coach or find someone else to do it (Kashara or anyone other than MR), PLEASE

Just a few ideas…

For anyone who may have mentioned any of these ideas, I am not trying to take credit for what you said.  Just know I completely agree with your ideas 👍👍👍

Oh goodness, that was long…😂

I know this is the 2021 auditions topic, but I just saw Lily's cameo for DBC. I wonder how many times Kelli has drunk dialed Lily late at night saying "I miss you soooooo *hic-cup* much baby...please come back to me...I'll *hic-cup" do anything...baby..." 😂!

Wow! Lily looks amazing! So glad that she has found another place to utilize her talent. Hopefully they appreciate her better.

There’s a new block feature on IG that allows a user to mass block one person’s accounts. That includes any future accounts that are created. I think it works by blocking the IP address of the user being blocked.

@ShellyB Are the ladies aware of this new block feature on IG?

Yes, the problem is that one particular person creates multiple accounts from different IP addresses. He’s started to comment on other pages, including mine 🙄🤬

Totally get where you’re coming from and thanks for explaining. 
 

BUT … 
 

I guess to me it’s just been frustrating because I like that the show ISN’T The Bachelor. Not that centered on drama and really just about a group of people chasing their dreams. I know there may be similarities, but I liked that this show was a bit unique in that if you wanted to know spoilers going in, you could look at spoilers. If you didn’t, you didn’t then. There was a choice. 
 

Hope that made sense lol. 🤷‍♂️

Here is my reasoning since you decided to really rebut me.  Maybe understanding will help you get why I said that:

1. I have a hard time following shows with a lot of people.  When I know ahead of time who makes it, I am able to more easily follow their stories and keep my eye on them.  It simply makes it easier for me.

2. I am not expecting to know everything. But, personally, I get hooked into shows more when I have an idea what is going to happen.  Maybe that's a side effect from my anxiety issues but I like knowing the outcome and it doesn't spoil the process for me one bit.

3. Based off some of the crap said, I feel like TPTB think they're playing us like fools.  Which, personally, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

4. I'm annoyed for the rookies who have to hide their excitement.  Come on, it's a dance team where these girls are making a pittance, at least let them enjoy the spoils of their hard work.

Lol mte. I bet they're thinking they're pulling a 'Gotcha!' by keeping the final team a secret as long as they can. It's a damn cheerleading squad. We will all know soon enough simply because they're going to be cheering at games. It's not like the ratings will plummet if we get "spoilers," lmao. All hiding it does is put a damper on it for the rookies who worked hard to make the team. Lol, last year weren't they legit unable to post about it until the actual football season was over? Yikes. 

Was it Dr. Manhattan who said something like, "We can't wait until you all see what happens this season"? That was so creepy to me. It made him sound like a plant, and it makes the show sound like a fictional tv show with writers and storyboards all set up for maximum shock. Just a bizarre way to frame it. Have we decided yet whether or not he's a plant? 😂

Katelynn is up there with Leah Jo Mitchell IMO. Who cares if Leah Jo was "Too Sexy"? Lots of your fans would like that. They thought it was fine for Jenna Lene (Even though I think she's good) to dance around in those tiny shorts her rookie year, when she looked no older than 12, but Leah Jo was "Too Sexy for the sidelines"? TPTB seem so out of touch with a big Target Demographic (Straight, Football-Fanatical Men like myself). There are so many girls that would have been great on the team over some of the girls they ended up picking in the same years, but instead never even got an invite to Training Camp.

Lauren Gibler and Ashley Burandt were two cuts I never understood.

Im surprised to hear you say that about Madeline S. Maybe it's because I've been watching alot of that TV show Mad Men while in quarantine is why I love Madeline S look so much. I'm not American, but I know Grace Kelly was a American fashion icon, and Madeline S reminds me of that era. It's a very mature look. Not loud Barbie girl pretty like Victoria or a teenager ( because she will be compared to Victoria until she moves on from DCC)..but a soft classic, mature, American beautiful. 1950s beauty? I feel that and her pretty good dancing style( minus power)  was why Judy was fighting so hard for Madeline S that first year. I always got this weird sense that Kelli and Judy were at odds when it came to Madeline S and ultimately Kelli won. Also, I can't help but root for a girl who keeps her backbone in the face of Kelli's scorn. Yes Kelli, Madeline SHOULD of became a lawyer! Lol!!  After losing all my favorites like  Holly P, Bridget, Hannah, Brennan, and Amanda, I wanted a TC to root for. So that was why I was in the Madeline S fan club

Lily’s jawline is prominent and really noticeable in photos like cameos. I liked Lily’s underbite though, it made her unique. Her two rookie makeovers really did not help her look. She was much more of a fresh-faced beauty prior to Kelli and makeover team intervention.

I never noticed Madeline S jawline, but speaking of looks there are two things I can’t unsee when I watch MTT. One I will save for later when I have a better photo comparison. The second is Tasha’s jawline! She has the jawline of all jawlines. She wins. When I watch old episodes of MTT if you catch the clip just right I swear it looks like her jaw just may unhinge like a ventriloquist’s dummy! This is much easier to see on video than photo. But trust me, once you see it you will know 😆

I agree, that's what drew me in. Otherwise I'd have picked a show about making a sports team or whatever.

And as I said before, what really, really, really annoys me is the horrible music they use in the show which is completely different than what the girls dance to. Even un-experienced me can tell it is completely off and I can tell when they use the original music. It's a difference of day and night.

I have recently wondered whether regions have anything to do with it? Would it be possible that some songs are covered for seasons that are sold to Europe due to rights?

TCC Ava is back on TikTok which means she didn’t make the team. This sounds like a big illogical leap but when she joined TCC she suspended her TikTok account, not unlike Victoria who suspended her DCC membership. Both did what they had to do for different reasons but both had to deal with Kelli if they didn’t.
Now Ava is back on TikTok, trying to recuperate half of her followers.

I do not think Victoria will be back, but that is another discussion.

That (Tasha's) will go down as probably one of the worst cameo photos in DCC history imo... the person who chose it should be whacked with a wet noodle.  Also... I think Lily is quite lovely... maybe not glam gorgeous but definitely girl next door pretty/cute. 🤪

Tasha is so much prettier than her Cameo photo. This reminds me of the Cameo photo that was selected for Hannah during her rookie season. How do you take a gorgeous women + a professional photographer + lighting + make up / hair and deliver a less flattering likeness? 

I have never noticed any of these jaw issues on Tasha and Lilly. Are y'all dentists? 

[SMP637]

Random question:  I noticed in early seasons there was an Assistant Director..... is there still an Assistant Director?  I know Kelli started off as an Assistant Director and then got promoted to Director when Suzanne quit (correct me if I'm wrong)....so theoretically, Kelli's assistant would become the next director of DCC.  So who's the assistant?

I think it's not necessarily her jawline. She's one of the best examples of a heart-shaped face. (A broader forehead that tapers down to a more pointy chin) which btw, is said to be the most attractive of all face shapes.

I asked the same thing during the 2018 season.  Tasha is pretty.  Her cameo that year ages her.  She wasn't the only one.  It made me sad to see this done to beautiful women.
