MyFavShows July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 Yeah, I think think the Yuko thing stems from something beyond any "Dallas dance scene" connections - like way higher up the food chain. So far we have possibile family connections in the medical field, Japanese football and NC ;). 2 Link to comment
Jazzmom July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 It is interesting how TXStar35 made the comments about not liking how the team looks and that there are a few unfortunate girls that do not have the DCC look or style. Whenever there is chatter here about K's daughter trying out someday, I have always thought to myself, the team would need to start accepting different styles & looks into the team. Maybe, even subconsciously, this is a start to shape the team so K's daughter could fit in. I am not saying this to be mean at all, but the last few seasons it does seem that there are sub standard girls making the team. I believe Morgan had an inside track too because she was terrible and when the team was announced she went up to Kelly and hugged and thanked her. Just a rare moment as not many rookies do that. Also, (just getting a few things off my chest), I can't stand the way they talk to the cheerleaders. Once during the team photo, Kelly told a cheerleader to move her chin down....(Kelly said we are not shooting school pics or something like that). She could have told her to move her chin down...it will make you look more beautiful. I feel like feedback is vague and demoralizing. These women are beautiful and should be built up. Kelsy Bond was always polite but I always thought she looked at K&J sometimes wondering why K&J speaks that way to the cheerleaders. It's like all the time. Once Charlotte came onto the field suddenly, and Kelly actually said a positive note about the team, instead of shouting out negative feedback to the squad. And the episode where they put on a show in Mexico, Kelly spent the whole time shouting behind the scenes. You wouldn't see Jackie O screaming like that. Anyway, I can't wait to see the footage. I have really enjoyed reading everyone's opinion and the only reason I haven't written much is that I can never remember my password! I can't wait to see Madeleine's new look! 3 Link to comment
Java July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 The whole situation Yuko situation is just wrong. I'm sorry, but the little bits we've managed to see of her performing? Not impressed. As Judy would say, 'noodley"... and one of the moves she did at finals looked like spirit fingers lol. I saw that and flashed back to the bad choreographer in Bring It On. Lousy, lousy business decision IMO and I bet made strictly for the drama, because there is no way a girl with visa issues who requires a translator is going to be worth the investment over any of the others. Just asking for headaches. I had so much more respect for you than this Kelli, and I really don't get your reasoning. I hope this season's show changes my mind. 4 Link to comment
grapevine July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 I just think that the whole language barrier with Yuko will be a struggle in and out of the boots. It might be hard for her to connect with other DCC's. Anyone agree? 5 Link to comment

EricaShadows July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 It wouldn't be the first time something changed because of Judy, Kelly, Charlotte and/or their connections. The skinny, boyish look started with Cassie, but I don't think they'd change the DCC look THAT much, just so Samantha would fit in better, should she even choose to audition (which she certainly hasn't been clear on). I know kids that age are certainly changing their minds about a lot of things, but there are things that you've got to do now or never. Right now, I think Sam's fallen into the never category, but that might change as well, especially since she saw (and probably heard a lot more about) what Cassie went through when she was a DCC then we ever did. There will always be girls we wonder why they made the squad and those we wonder why they DIDN'T make the squad, but the identities of those girls will always be up for debate. As we've seen on this board, there are very few, if any, girls that have universal appeal and very few who've gotten universal dislike and the rest are all over the place in terms of appeal for different people. That's why the team has a baseline (auditions) that you've got to meet to just get your foot in the door and then the standards (Training Camp) you've got to meet just to get on the team. That baseline and those standards have never been fully, if at all, shared with the rest of the world and very few, if any, of us have the experience of Judy, Kelly, Kitty Carter, or anyone else who have input into the team. We just have opinions. Stepping down and bowing out for a while so I can go back to lurking. 4 Link to comment

Thanks for clearing that up! It sounds like she's from a prominent family so maybe she pays the translator on her dime?? Im interested to get to know her better..

We're only speculating at this point based on some audition videos. We have no idea how many, if any, of them had trouble learning or retaining the routines. I'd like to think so too. Really interested to see how it all plays out. Amy's IG post really came across to me as "I've really given this my all and I finally realize this is just one dream I can't reach" which leads me to think we may not see her come back again. Of course I could be reading into it or it could just be a "I just got cut I'm never going through this again" in the moment post and she'll change her mind. If she does come back I hope she makes it all the way. If she doesn't I definitely wish her well. I'm sad for her that she couldn't make her dream come true. I figured her short legs would doom her but when I saw a pick of her kicks I really thought she had a good shot. Has the Kyndall cut been confirmed? Please forgive me if it has I just read through 9 pages so I might have missed just a bit. I'm sad for her as well as I was really rooting for her after how far she got last year and her attitude about being cut. However, her last night last year made me think her issue (just being a bit off because of the gliding thing) would not be an easy fix. So if that was the issue again I can't say I'm totally surprised. If it's the Megan/Melissa issue.... well if that is exactly as it played out a cut like that wouldn't totally surprise me either. Super excited for Kelsey finally getting to live her dream. Based on TxStar's posts I'm worried she'll end up a one and done girl which will make me sad because I really love. But at least for now I'll enjoy as much as I get to see of her on the show. Also beyond thrilled for Madeline and Selina for being cut, making it back AND making the team. They both seem like sweet girls. I also don't have a dog in the Yuko fight. I do hope we get to see a bit of this translator. I'm interested to see how the DCC make that work all year long. Now that it's all over I want the premiere NOW CMT. I know you don't want to compete against the Olympics but I really wish we didn't have to wait so long for the show to start.

M1977G July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 Regarding diversity & the DCC, I agree with posters on various sides of the coin. I think the team should be as diverse as possible to reflect their claim of being "America's Sweethearts" for "America's Team," and there definitely are some years the team is more diverse than others, depending on retirees and rookies. I've always been surprised at how few Latinas have been on the team since I've started watching (S3), given their location in TX: the Trevino sisters, the Torres sisters, Lacey, Mia, Malia Morales, Selina, and maybe Jessica Allison. I may be missing a few, but the point is that's not a lot. Posters who say that the NFL cheerleading world only wants X number of black, Latina, and Asian girls etc probably are right in many instances (Miami Dolphins cheerleaders seem like an obvious and valuable--and beautiful--distinction), as this kind of "quota logic" prevails in many ways still in our society. More than thinking there are rigid quotas, though, I think that many people (directors, fans, owners) like it when "ethnic" ladies don't look "too ethnic." I don't see this as a hard and fast rule, but I do believe our society has cultivated certain beauty standards and tastes that favor whiteness. I think it was very interesting, and rather suggestive of this, that Jacie went natural with her hair shortly *after retiring, not while she was a DCC. I think Khalyn, Cersten, and Selina are beautiful young ladies, but they do fit aspects of the DCC aesthetic mold. That said, Khalyn, like Jacie, appears to be darker skinned than many of the women of color who make the team, and with this new squad, just over 20% of the team consists of of ladies of color, which is not something I'd sneeze at. As many discussions here reflect, to have the dance training and resources to prepare, audition for, and make this (and other) professional dance team takes money that not everyone has. I believe that is a serious factor influencing the diversity of of TCCs and the DCC, in terms of the racial, ethnic, and class makeup of the team. All THAT said, I've been impressed, when looking at squad photos over the years, that there pretty much have always been black women on the team, going back to the 1960s and 1970s. I mean, we're talking the Deep South, in what was practically, if not legally, still the Jim Crow era. So I do give the team props for having a history of moderate diversity. And some of those ladies back in the day did sport some impressive Afros! 13 Link to comment

DancingForLife July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 I am thinking from what I read on here & a bit of what I know-- this squad may have the most problems looking like a team. I mean in fluidity & how they perform together as a united team. I'm not talking about hair or skin color or even body type- style issues battling against each other. maybe because there are so many rookies & some don't really fit? You've seen it with other dance teams I'm sure. It looks less professional and just odd- the team is off. --hoping I'm wrong!!! 1 Link to comment

Pinknblue July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 (edited) I said it before, but more and more I suspect it plays a part - the DC may be courting, or have, a huge Japanese sponsor or a company with a Japanese CEO. To have a cheerleader who speaks Japanese and understands the subtleties of culture & customs might bring in more money for the organisation than the rest of the DCC combined. I doubt they would be willing to televise such a motivation though. Edited July 28, 2016 by Pinknblue 4 Link to comment
Preity July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 I don't care how great a dancer Yuko is, if she needs all sorts of special help she shouldn't be there. I have no idea what the Visa situation with her is, so I don't want to judge her on it, but missing camp to go back to Japan? No one else gets that much encouragement from K+J. What about girls who need to lose weight or something. Do they get an extra week to work on it? No. Do people who have full time jobs get to be there a couple of minutes later than others if their work schedule is crazy? No. There is no time off from training camp, that's the way it has always been. And there are plenty of other great dancers out there so if she can't complete all of training camp she shouldn't be there. Also, and this may sound mean, I really hate it when someone can't speak the language properly. I don't expect someone to be able to speak perfectly, but I find it really annoying when someone has a hard time saying one sentence without thinking about it or making a ton of mistakes. There are so many shows on TV about people leaving everything behind and moving to a foreign country not being able to speak that language and it always bugs me. If I want a job somewhere in a country with a different language I learn it before moving. And I really hope her translator doesn't sit there during practice translating everything for her... That would be akward. Before the show I had no Idea what cankles were, what clunky meant or willowy or any of the dance moves for that matter, but I would have made sure to understand everything I can from watching the show a million times. I actually have nothing against Yuko and if I were in her place I wouldn't have left TC or anything. I just don't like how she seems to be getting all this special treatment (in my eyes at least). And personally I wouldn't want all that special treatment so I could be the token girl from country X. So for her sake I hope that's not the case. i wonder if maybe they kept her to give her some extra time, see if she could keep up or catch up after missing all that time. If they decided to cut her now they would still have a squad of 36 like they probably intended to in the first place. That would be heartbreaking of course, but it wouldn't be the first time someone was let go during the season. Oh and I'm really really sad about Amy. She, Emily and Madeline were the three people I was really rooting for this year. I love Amy, she just seems so genuine to me. I never really cared for Kyndall last year... Don't really know why.... I feel sorry for her, but I'm not going to miss her I guess. Can't wait to see them all in uniform! 2 Link to comment

Now I feel all these girls are a bit average and all look the same: Allie, Maddie, Milan, Heather H all look the same to me...add in Holly and Raylee and they are even more the same. Yeah, that really was their best rookie class in a long time. I don't think they've had a class that beautiful and talented since. 6 Link to comment
Dancemajor July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 1I wonder if K&J ever regret their decisions on MTT? On who they picked or let go and why. Or ever reversed a decision after the fact. Link to comment

The only reversal that springs to mind is Danielle in season 8 when they're gonna cut her at finals and then don't? Some people think that was staged for drama, but I personally don't. But I definitely think they considered the backlash they'd get, cos they really fought for other girls *cassie* when she was all over the place at finals cos she was injured in season 7. 6 Link to comment

Not as much a weight warning per say, but I do wonder what they think about Allie's body shape. Based on her audition picture (just going on that, so I may be way off base), she doesn't seem to have much of a waist line compared to all the other women. I wonder if she gets critiqued about that at all. Allie was on weight watch this summer. I remember being surprised to hear that because when I'd looked thru her IG (before she went private) it was clear she'd lost weight over the past year or so and was also working out a lot with Holly P. She must have let the stress of camp get to her because I was told she had to lose something like 8 pounds??? they must figure if Courtney Danielle did it anyone can...but obviously she did because in that clip from Michelle Keys' class she looked thin to me. I didn't know she had connections to the Jones family. I'm going to let myself think she made it 100% on her own because I do think she's a pretty girl, great dancer and worked to lose weight. 3 hours ago, Dancemajor said: 1I wonder if K&J ever regret their decisions on MTT?

I'm sure there were girls she wished they'd kept for their dance ability, etc. 13 hours ago, Sandiedog said: Who was Mandy? Not sure if someone answered this already...Mandy Correa was the girl who flew under the radar until like the last two practices when suddenly they decided she was just too short. that was a cut that really annoyed me because she was standing in the same place in the line all summer, tried on the uniform, how could you not realize till zero hour? She was SO pretty too and a powerful dancer. 5 Link to comment

Guest July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 Allie was one of my favorites so I'm glad she made it. I had no clue she was on weight warning, all I saw in Holly's snapchats were the two of them working out constantly wow. Link to comment

I'm getting a bit of chuckle thinking about the translater having to translate words/phrases like "messy", "it's just really bad", "noodley" and "clunky" for someone that doesn't understand English fully. Of course, if she watched MTT, I guess she'd know what to expect. Lmao! Puppy dog hands! Link to comment
