They can't wash their hair everyday, so it's definitely a more protective way to maintain their natural hair. Robin and Auto RBF Amy (lol I just wanted to say that) have full weaves/sew-ins. 1 Link to comment
sleepyjean June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 Tasha had tape-in extensions. I saw them clearly in one of the photos from auditions. Her roots were sweaty so her hair had separated and you could see the entire strip of tape contrasting against her roots. (Was it necessary for them to post that photo? LOL). I hope Kelli made her get rid of them. Or got better-looking ones. Presumably Tangerine is footing the bill, so I hope they gave her the high quality stuff. Link to comment

I don't see that as RFB, just her listening intently (as many of us would do if people around us were deciding what was going to be done with our hair, and we had little say in the matter). I'm so glad you said that. I was thinking the same. I respect all opinions, but I honestly can appreciate the fact that she is not all smiley all the time because if she were then some might call her phony. She needs to show some depth to her personality, can't be the life of the party all the time. It seemed like they were there late so maybe she was tired as well. I really like Amy and I hope she is able to be herself throughout this process..smile or no smile. 6 Link to comment

She is bi-racial and 99% of the time the hair texture is different and grows faster. She might have a few clip pieces for depth but IMO most of it is her own.

Jackie definitely did although right now it looks like she's rocking her own hair. Robin has one and Jasmine had one too. And I'm sure many of the other girls also have weaves and clip ins added for length and volume. 2 Link to comment

Sandiedog June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 Why did they stop going to Halcyon Days? I never liked the name since Halcyon is the name of a sleeping pill. Link to comment
JustRosie June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 (edited) Does DCC go to a different salon each year? i have always wondered whether each girl is responsible to pay to maintain the hair style, color etc that is chosen for them or whether DCC pays for that during the season. Depending on the hair that they give you it could get very expensive! how about the fake tans they have to maintain? Who pays for that? Edited June 13, 2016 by MamaV 2 Link to comment
SanLynn June 14, 2016 Share June 14, 2016 Seasons 6-8 at least (I don't remember seasons 1-5) they were at Premiere Atellier (sp?). And I think Premiere was used for 1-5 too because I remember their manager, Reiner (sp?), was always at auditions. He left the salon for whatever reason after Season 7. Then they had the new manager, Johnny, but the same salon S8. S9 they moved to Halcyon days and were also there S10. Now it's Tangerine's. I find it interesting that after Reiner (sp?) left they started salon hopping. I'm sure there's a story there. Link to comment

I said she is widely disliked I never specified by whom individually. The judges have their opinion, as do the fans, as do you and I. Neither of which makes the next wrong or right, so if someone dislikes Emily or Caila or heck even Kelli it doesn't mean that word is law. So I don't want yall to think its a conspiracy to just bring her back for "that drama", if they see possible potential then best of luck to her. I personally don't see her making the team. Remember don't look too deep into someone's comments or speculation, after all they are just that as of now till the final team is announced! :) I think it's Kelli who isn't a fan. Kelli carries herself with a level of class and even though I can't put my finger on why I just don't think Emily measures up. She's a beautiful girl and has talent. But the DCC quality is missing.

I can't really speak on her dancing but I honestly wouldn't mind if she made the team. What's his snapchat? Link to comment
Guest June 14, 2016 Share June 14, 2016 I'm kind of shocked Erica won, I was rooting for Lacey and Jenn K to be a vet on the cover. I thought maybe Jinelle would get it because she had so many people voting but Erica is a good choice. Link to comment
LaurenBrook June 14, 2016 Share June 14, 2016 I am the lone reed here who did not like Lacey's picture. I think she is one of the most beautiful photogenic girls on the squad but her pic was blah to me. It was awkward posing and her face looked shadowed. I wouldn't have minded Jennifer getting it! though I think she does not promote herself enough. 2 Link to comment
Smplsimon June 14, 2016 Share June 14, 2016 No, I'm with you Lauren. I loved her body in the photo, but her face just looked like uncertain as though she had just asked the photographer, "Like this?" 2 Link to comment

M1977G June 14, 2016 Share June 14, 2016 I think Erica looks beautiful on the cover! I agree with others that some of the photo options were not the best of the girls. Jenna is gorgeous and so photogenic, for instance, but it wasn't a fab cover photo, partly because of the background. Has anyone seen the swimsuit issue? I'm curious about the other photos they picked from the shoot. I also wonder how much scrambling they have to do to adjust the swimsuit issue and calendars to account for cutting vets. I don't really imagine Kat would have made the calendar (as others have said, she's so skinny--even Judy thinks so and she never thinks girls are too thin), but Caila could have made the sidelines or swimsuit calendar, and I think they try to get at least one pic of each DCC in the magazine. I thought Caila looked fit in postings from the Mexico trip, so I just can't imagine what happened in a few weeks, but she definitely looked less toned by auditions. As for cuts this week, I think others are right to expect them. I'm betting on Emily being the first to go. I thought she was the worst in the videos. I also thought Kendall still looked weak, so I hope she's a better "take-home girl" this year. I appreciated how much Kelli and Judy admired her supporting herself and how hard she works, so I hope they give her time in camp. I would love to be wrong about this, but I don't see her making the team. I really like her though, so I'll be rooting for the underdog! Is Melissa still a showmanship coach? I read she just had another baby, and didn't see anything about her judging at auditions, so I wondered if she was doing it this year. Sorry if I'm asking old questions! I haven't been on here for so long, and I did read back at least 10 forum pages, but I feel like I'm missing some things. Link to comment
tobeyoungagain June 14, 2016 Share June 14, 2016 yay Erica on the cover! She really is just very stunning (both face and figure). Still don't "know" enough about her to consider her a favorite but looks-wise, she's got it. Jenn K for point (and everything else!) 1 Link to comment

bigskygirl June 14, 2016 Author Share June 14, 2016 There was a picture of Melissa on her twitter page where it looks like she was being filmed for the show. She may be coming back in a more limited time since she has three little ones at home. I do believe seeing Caila in the swimsuit magazine last year, and I think she may have been in the twelve year calendar, but I am not sure. Btw, did anyone else notice the pictures of the group leaders in the background of the one pictures of all the vets with Erica and a copy of the swimsuit magazine. They have not announced group leaders yet since I can see last year's group leaders in the pictures. Link to comment

Java June 14, 2016 Share June 14, 2016 (edited) Honestly I don't think Melissa is the best choice for that role. Don't get me wrong; I've always been a Melissa fan. When she was on MTT and DWTS I loved her and rooted for her, but she wasn't a DCC long enough to make that much of an impact in the organization. She wasn't a group leader, she wasn't point, she wasn't an All-Star. As harsh as this sounds, I think she was simply a talented dancer in a long line of dancers that used DCC as a stepping stone. More power to her for that, but IMO, she isn't the best choice to coach these candidates. Bring in any of the point dancers or an All-Star. Nicole Hamilton, Megan Fox, Justine Phillips-Orf, Crystal Trevino, Lauren Williams come to mind, and I'm sure there are a few others that would really do the job well, and be of the right age to still be considered a peer. If you're going to keep saying how the talent level is the best you've ever seen, then match that talent with coaches who were among the best DCC's you ever had.

These are all points we've made on here; however, we're very aware that Melissa has a "bigger" more well known name to the masses than even their best DCCs. I think the majority of the posters on here feel other veterans should have been chosen, but for whatever reason they weren't. (Well, we know the reasons, but still..) 3 Link to comment
bigskygirl June 14, 2016 Author Share June 14, 2016 Nicole lives in Las Vegas, Crystal moves around because her husband is in the military, and I think Lauren does not live in the Dallas area. I think Melissa has a contract with CMT because she had her own show with her husband, was on Redneck Island this past season, and of course, Making the Team. I remembered reading an article where Melissa said she was ask to be a judge, and someone from CMT ask her if she wanted to stay on and help girls she thought had a chance to make the team. I think she was brought on by CMT and not Kelli, Judy or Charlotte. I often wonder how the three of them feel about her since she wrote a few unkind things about DCC and the organization in her book (especially the part about leaving and then coming back a few times, and the mean girls picking on her.) She would not have been my first choice to be a mentor, and I wonder if the girls who may be on the bubble actually want her help. Personally, I would rather go to a vet like Jenna or Jennifer or a retired DCC who is a dance instructor like Mia or Sarah G. Link to comment

M1977G June 14, 2016 Share June 14, 2016 I imagine that as long as being on the show adds value to her bank account, Melissa will do it as long as she can! It definitely would be cool to see some of the TTCs work with stellar vets or retired vets this season. I recall seeing episode extras of rookies working with them & always wish for more of that instead of product plugs (ie Real Fit Foods) or a stupid parental intervention. I remember an extra of Audrea (?) working with Kalli on her kicks, & maybe of Jackie working with Jasmine, & I enjoyed seeing Loren working with Simone & Courtney last year. Since learning on here that K&J aren't at all the rehearsals, I'm also now more interested in seeing a rehearsal led by group leaders. I prefer all of that to Melissa therapy sessions, but I must say, I think her interventions (filming the rookies from the top of the stadium etc) seemed more useful last year than her first year. Someone upthread, from England I believe, asked someone to purchase & send the swimsuit issue to her (or him) abroad. I believe that you can purchase single issues of Star online, as opposed to a digital subscription, so you may be able to get just that issue, all without having to to leave your couch or waiting for the mail.

bigskygirl June 14, 2016 Author Share June 14, 2016 I think it was in Season 3 they had a scene or extra scene where Megan Fox was working with the TC candidates. I would rather see former DCCs working with TC candidates than Melissa telling a candidate to smile or not be afraid in front of Kelli and Judy. The one scene with Madeline last year in the third episode was so painful to watch because it looked so staged. At least they do not show the scenes where a candidate meets up with a veteran and they discussed how to deal with the stress. B*O*R*IIII*NNNN*GGGG*!!!! Link to comment
