So how does it work for returning veterans and fitting into their uniforms?  Did VK have to fit into her old one?  It was likely too big for her, so is she now committed to a smaller one to fit her A++ svelte new and improved figure?  Does she live at home??  How can family feel not feel the push to have her “eat something”?  Gina always looked healthy in the face and eyes.

Back in the 70s (I'm aging myself I know) they would take the uniform in (make smaller) if a DCC lost weight, but they wouldn't let it out (make bigger) if she gained weight, so she had to lose the weight or else.  I don't know if that's still true.  We talk about Kelli, but Suzanne Mitchell was tough.

I thought the DCC did that for the show.  What's the Dolphin's excuse?

YES!!! This is what I like to see. A lot of good quality high res photos where they showcase all of the girls in some way. I hope they keep this up for all of the home games.

Any news on the squad photo?

I really have no feelings either way towards Victoria- but in this picture she looks scary thin.  IMO- This is a kind of picture that if TPTB really were honest with themselves, they need to have a talk/intervention.

The picture on her IG in the pink dress is even more jarring.  She has just become a shell of herself.  The images are jarring even to me.  Even though I’m recovered from eating disorders, it’s hard to not look back and “Miss” those days of being so thin.  And then I look at these images.  I lived alone in the height of my anorexia, but still worked.  No one intervened.  It wasn’t until I was in a car accident that things got real, and I was in a hospital program for months.  I can’t imagine how she is able to keep up this diet under the watch of her parents, with whom she lives! And even her Auntie Kelli.  

[CrazyInAlabama]

Do digital photos add ten pounds the way photos used to?   If so she's even thinner in real life.   Her shorts look so big on her that I wonder how they stay on. 

[ByTor]

@Blue hues, I'm so sorry.

[rhofmovalley]

I'm sorry, but no way does Victoria "look great!!!!"  No, she's not "naturally tiny". 

Imagine being told you're too heavy and internalizing it to this extent. 

I know there are people who love her.  I hope they step forward and offer help and support.

Yeah, her face even looks gaunt. I was definitely not a fan of Victoria in her first training camp (20% her immaturity, and the remaining 80% split between TPTB favoritism and the show shoving her down our throats.) She took all the notes and came back like a champ. I respect that. But now it looks like she’s over-corrected, and her support team needs to get her back on track. 

[MaryWebGirl]

I had a bit of a dark thought. I may be misremembering but I think some people saw a couple extra pounds on VK in the off-season her second year. I hope she wasn’t told to take the year off to get her weight “under control.”

I am still holding onto hope that we'll get a squad photo this year, but seeing this on Reddit doesn't give me hope.

It's weird that there isn't one considering all the cameos and bios are up. I thought the squad picture is a tradition. I just hope they don't do a photo shopped one like 2 years ago.

All of them except two, IMO.  And it's not that the girls aren't pretty.  It's just that their pictures are not very good.

• Rebecca - Not a fan of this particular picture.  It's like the photographer said 'take a deep breath and hold it', and I'm waiting for her to exhale.  It just doesn't flatter her. 
• Lea...another deer-in-the-headlights pose?  Why does she always look scared to death in every shot?   

Uh oh...now I did it.  Cue all the outrage from Lea fans who insist her look is stunning and unique.  Not saying she's not pretty.  Just that IMO, she freezes up and can't relax in front of the camera.

This isn't outrage by any means, but I digress - I like Lea and Rebecca's photos a lot.  Especially Lea's.

The three that are underwhelming to me are Tori, Karley, and Zhenya. All three of these ladies are stunning and take much better photos. Seems like they didn't quite capture that in these headshots.

[JapMo]

I think Kali, Elle and Armani have that very happy, natural smile and look that I like the most.  Kat has just a bit of a sly smile and I like it.  Is that a headband she's wearing?  I know she wears wigs, but her hair is much darker about an inch all the way around her hairline.  Looks just a little different. 

[Kamal]

Kally, Chandi, Armani, Marissa, Kylie look their best!!

The prettiest DCC Claire (in my opinion of course) could have gotten better lighting.

Just wondering what's the difference between the cameos (on the web site)  and those on the Reddit link? Which one is the supposed official one?

I hate Kayla's old hair with the black on top and brown below. (found it and couldn't believe it was the same person)

She looks so much prettier in her current hair.

Are they still using Tangerine? I remember when Jessika had a similar color Marshall said it looked "too rooted."

I don't know for the rest, but the Black girls go to a different Salon (specialises in Black hair). MTT covered it in season 16 with Kelee getting a new wig. I remember Kat posting about it on Instagram too.

Wow, I genuinely could not love Zhenya more! What an amazing young woman!

Over on Reddit there’s a post saying Kashara doesn’t work for DCC anymore no tea just that, anyone???

I just saw that.  Two people said she was fired and someone else said she/he knew the story but it wasn't his/her story to tell, but she did not get fired.   Downvotes ensued.   

[Blue hues]

I came across a photo of the DCC on the bus, heading to the game.  Do the moms of the legacies, VK and Madeline, Get to ride the bus as well?  How present are they around their daughters on the team?
