I'm thinking the fourth attempt at Jenny Craig is gonna be the winner. I just didn't have the dedication before. Surely I can wear white shorts and a blue top (purchased from the official supplier of DCC merch-Wincraft-of course) this summer. That's SORT OF DCC, right?! 5. I THINK I've talked my husband in to staying at the Omni at The Star this summer when it opens to watch the boys practice. This stuff is just unbelievable marketing power. Seriously. Like, what organization can I sit and berate when I disagree with them, but then create my fucking bathroom in the image of their damn locker room?! I know you lucky Texans are just like dying at Thunder, but the rest of us greenies still get nipple erections from it. Please. Let us HAVE THIS!!! That's how I am with Disney. Yes, we are Disney people. I know. Anyway, I watched that stupid Christmas parade on tv with my daughter the other day. It's like one long advertisement for Disney world and the magic.

IMO she's so-so as a performer & for all I hear about Megan getting away with her weight issues, I don't recall Danielle ever not looking "soft." The frog thing isn't helping matters, so I have to say her apparently nasty attitude makes me kinda glad she didn't get it. I am totally with you! I really like Danielle and love her look but in no way would I ever hate on Jenn for getting it over her. I think Jenn should get it! She's so poised, a great speaker, seems to live / breathe DCC, and is a very talented dancer. Yes, she's super controlled and not overly emotional (like most good leaders / ambassadors) but I don't think that makes her boring or anything negative. If anything, I would love that trait in a leader ... someone poised, controlled and not emotional/ I love Danielle's look but honestly, she's never stood out as a performer for me so I'm not sure what makes her the must-be candidate. Also not lovin the shade (if it was at the PBC decision) ... kind of petty and rude to be honest. No need for anyone to be snarky and hurtful about it. That's not a quality that represents DCC well ... nor does it show good leadership IMHO. Again this is assuming that it was aimed at the decision (which to be honest would really surprise me because it's so déclassé I can't imagine anyone doing that under K+J watchful eye!)

If she reauditions and it isn't brought up then I will be thoroughly confused since there are vets cut these days for less noticeable gains. ETA: This isn't to say I want her to be cut. She's a phenomenal dancer and I think she brings a lot to the squad, I just don't see her dance abilities making up for her gain. I am a firm believer that Megan should absolutely be cut for her weight gain (same treatment as all the women who have been chastised or cut for not abiding by the contract and gaining a couple pounds) ... have there been recent pictures of her? We're pretty deep in the season so she should have lost some of that extra love by now. 2 Link to comment

Annette January 3, 2017 Share January 3, 2017 3 hours ago, QuiteContraryMoni said: Maddie met Holly, and it was all over after that. Wallflower Maddie is history. Local girl Mads has ALWAYS been an amazing dancer...always. Holly's terrific but let's not take Maddie's shine by implying it was all Holly. That's kinda unfair & negates all the hard work Madeline did to adapt her dancing to the DCC style. Utah has a strong dance community. There are plenty of resources here, which helped her grow/develop her craft. IMO- Mads hip hop dancing is the BEST of the DCC...including better than Holly. She has always isolated her moves, is fluid & fast. She studies back-up dancers (Justin T'Lakes whom she emulates...)doesn't do the weird facial mugging or pursed sexy lips which goes against the style. She spent a year teaching (still does when in town) & growing from a shy, insecure hs graduate to DCC showgroup. Let me offer this lil nugget; we haven't seen anything yet from Madeline. She's quite the complete package. I know Mads thru her Mom...a former Jazz dancer. She's teeny tiny yet powerful. She's articulate from having to speak in church which is a common Mormon thing. (I'm not LDS, but quite familiar with this church from growing up behind the Zion curtain). She super sweet & LIKABLE. My only wish is that she stays with the DCC long enough to fully realize her potential. Utah has sent several lovely ladies to the DCC (Hello Tobey, Courtney & Tasha) yet Madeline (imo) is truly the one who could take it the furthest! 8 Link to comment
EricaShadows January 3, 2017 Share January 3, 2017 I saw a picture in one of the calendars of Megan and felt sorry for her because it wasn't as flattering to her as it could be because it spotlighted her weight gain. The picture was that the girls were in a line and all the girls were faded out to indistinguishability except for her. She seems to be the type of the girl who, if they gain weight, it shows in their face and neck as well as in their midsection. I'm like that. If I gain weight, I show it in my face and neck almost before anywhere else and if I lose weight, it shows in my face and neck almost before anywhere else. 2 Link to comment
Jess14 January 3, 2017 Share January 3, 2017 Speaking of Madeline and Holly, Michelle Keys posted an instagram video of those 2 and Jenna dancing a hip hop routine a few days ago (can't link to it right now) but all 3 looked good. I also think the hair change helped Madeline. That may sound shallow and silly, but sometimes a new (and much improved in her case) hairdo can do wonders for confidence. The brown curls/waves are SO much better than that awful goth look that she had last year. 4 Link to comment

I'm wondering what the deal is. However, I have read that K and J play favorites and look the other way at weight gain... 2 Link to comment
Jess14 January 3, 2017 Share January 3, 2017 Meredith Oden, IIRC, got away with being heavier than many other DCCs for many years, so I don't think it's a first time that one of the favorites has gotten away with it. It's possible that Megan has received many weight warnings, and we just havent seen them. Link to comment

I've even noticed in some photos Megan's they're covering her stomach and midriff area with Poms and/or a prop of some sort. I really don't like to speak about weight. I hate judging girls for being a "normal" sized person, but when you even start "hiding" her behind things, that's scary. So, this is a strange question. Is she pregnant?

JC123 January 4, 2017 Share January 4, 2017 I don't think anyone's saying that Maddies ability is only there because of Holly? She's obviously a fantastastic dancer, otherwise she wouldn't have been picked for TC in the first place. I think Holly has managed to instill some confidence in Mads from TC 2015 to TC 2016, because they're close Hollys obviously told Mads exactly what to expect. That must have done wonders for her confidence. She was honestly like a different girl training camp the second time round. Was a bit meh about her before, LOVE her now 7 Link to comment

This is what gets me, several of those girls are so thin that to me they look unhealthy though they must be, that uniform is just so unforgiving and yeah depending on the angle of the shot some of them including Megan and my fave Holly, who is a bit stocky it seems, seem larger than they are. I imagine if I were to see them IRL they'd look totally thin, whereas the ones that already look way skinny to me would look even thinner and I'd really worry about them. And I don't understand why they changed the uniform bottoms for only some of the girls it seems to break the look of uniformity they want so much. I mean if we can tell, and ok so we aren't necessarily the everyday viewer LOL, but still if we can tell then maybe they should have made new bottoms for all of them, though they could do better than the "diaper" 2 Link to comment
