SnoopyJam April 4, 2017 Share April 4, 2017 Omg I am loving all these photos. Great call on switching location to Bahamas and using more skyblue photos. I was getting really bored of the overfiltered Mexico photos. I'm sad to hear Amy T and Melissa retiring. Unless they are desperate for blondes, the triangle should be Jenna, Lacey, and Erica, maybe Holly right behind point, and 2 blondes behind the outside triangle. I think Jinelle will move up but not in the triangle since she's never been a super strong dancer. I have no idea who will be point. If only Melissa would stay for 1 more year, she would be the perfect point for this class!! Looking at the bunch, I'm hoping Erica will be point!! Sadly, chances are it'll be Jenna and no rotation since only a teamplayer like Jennifer would support rotating point. Vet of the Year - my vote is for Jennifer. Love that girl, she just live and breathes leadership. I will be upset if she doesn't win! I do wish there were 2 VotYs because Jessica deserves to win too. I also love Melissa and Danielle!!! Rookie of the Year - hard call. In the beginning of the year, I would have said Mandy. But her recent weight gain (dcc standard! Imho she still looks fab).... makes me think Maggie Cersten or Heather O have a better shot. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/140/#findComment-3149777
SnoopyJam April 4, 2017 Share April 4, 2017 The forums here have been calling out quite a few girls (good and bad) so here are my 2 cents.. Jinelle looks amazing, does not look old at all. Simone!! She is gorgeous and looks young without looking like a kid (Jenna/Allie) or tryhard (KelliQ/Tasha). KelliQ is charming and a great dancer, but agree, she needs to lose the eyeliner and burnt tan! She looks like she's old! Maggie - is so cute and at this rate, I'm rooting for her as point girl down the road in her 4th or 5th year HeatherO - Under the radar, but I love her! Madeleine and Holly: I like their dancing and I'm sure they are nice girls but somehow the way they come across is a bit too much for me. Jenna - Lots of Jenna. I'm over her! If only Jennifer and Kelly weren't so darn nice and Jenna just chilled this past year, she could have come back this year for "her" year. People may still whine that they are tired of the Jenna show, but I bet most of us would defend her and she would have earned a lot of support as a 6th year/most senior veteran. Instead, she chose to fight and the way she handled her retirement right after pro-bowl came across as immature, and even showed more immaturity by changing her mind. Jenna is so lucky that so many upper veterans are gone so Kelly feels like she needs Jenna. I think it's fine that she is coming back but I hope she is not coming back as a point girl (even though it looks like it ARGH!). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/140/#findComment-3149851

HowdeeDo April 5, 2017 Share April 5, 2017 Marriage necessarily means she'll retire after this year. Plenty of girls made marriage work while being a DCC for a year or two (JenK, Holly, Tasha, Crystal). Depends on if she feels like she's finished after this season.

bigskygirl April 5, 2017 Author Share April 5, 2017 I admit I do not care for hunting or fishing either. My husband does both, and he eats wild game meat and fish, but I cannot stand the smell or sight of either one. Sadly, my first ever serious accident I hit a deer. I felt like the worse driver on the planet when it happened. I do respect a person's right to hunt and fish, but I do not care for people who abuse the right to do so.

California Girl April 5, 2017 Share April 5, 2017 (edited) Over the years DCC diversity has seemed to skew towards the selection of "Ethnic Barbies", by which I mean young women of different nationalities and ethnicities whose figures and features are generally cut from the same mould as their Caucasian counterparts. For example, Ashton Torres and Lacey Munoz are both Latinas with, apart from their slightly darker coloring, a very European or Caucasian look. This does not mean that these women are not authentic cultural representatives, they are clearly and proudly Latinas, and in fact many Latinos do have that European or typically American look. I simply mean to say that the DCC favors that particular "Ethnic Barbie" look in its women from different cultures and ethnicities. This year I was glad to see the DCC take women like Khalyn, Selina, and Yuko, who represent different variations on those looks. Frankly I like that Jacie gets to wear her hair any way she wants to now that she is no longer a DCC, she looks amazing.

bigskygirl April 7, 2017 Author Share April 7, 2017 I agree! Yes, Kelsey is a lovely girl, but the swimsuit says look at me, but it says look at me in a bad way. Do not think of me as an All American Girl, but someone who lets her looks speak for herself instead of being respected for having a mind and a brain along with a good looking body. I know they are in the business of selling calendars, but there is a more classy way of doing it.

twinkietwin94 April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 She's gorgeous but yeah that top is not good, not classy at all, not sure I'd call it trashy but it feels close to that. I just can't help thinking that thing better be pasted on so it all stays put or there could easily be a Janet Jacksonesque wardrobe malfunction. I can't believe they chose this suit for one of America's Sweethearts. Yikes! 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/140/#findComment-3157970
Slate April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 I love how Stephanie always seems so kind and inclusive of TCCs, rookies/new teammates. I have noticed many times how welcoming and friendly she seems to be of many different girls. She wrote the sweetest message to Yuko for her birthday on IG. I hope she gets a shot at second gl. She seems to have many traits that a leader should possess. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/140/#findComment-3158019
bigskygirl April 7, 2017 Author Share April 7, 2017 Could someone please explain the two piece bikini choice. I hate saying it but Simone may be on the bubble because she does look a little soft in the picture.

I suppose they are going for a Victoria's Secret look, but I agree that it verges on bad taste and overexposure.

EricaShadows April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 Girls with the truly dark skin like Khoudia and Mimi would likely not be encouraged in the American dance world outside of Hip Hop and they often don't have the "look" for that either. Far too many of the top models like Oluchi, Iman and (dare I say it) Tyra Banks lean towards the lighter end of the "black" range. Dancers like Aisha Ash, Misty Copeland, and Michaela DePrince have all struggled in the ballet world where conforming in both technique and looks are highly prized. In addition, ballet is considered a "rich, white girl" thing. We're seeing more "ethnic" girls in gymnastics, but, again, not as many as there could be. Honestly, a lot of girls who aren't white or light-skinned don't seem to be encouraged to take up dance of any sort other than Hip Hop or, in some cases, Latin-style. Maybe someone can enlighten me on other reasons because I can only extrapolate from what I've heard. What I'm saying is that girls who aren't white or European looking aren't encouraged to dance and those who would be good or amazing at the DCC style look at the team and say "I wouldn't fit in there because of my looks" or "I would only get called into camp because of my looks and not because I'm talented". 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/140/#findComment-3158430
Cariad April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 Kelsey carries that swimsuit off very well, and IMO with class but I agree it's not the best choice. Seems hypocritical on the one hand for K & J to criticize TCC Ika for being too much girl from last night, then on the other hand to choose a swimsuit like this for photos! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/140/#findComment-3158896

autumdusk April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 I would wear the sh*t out of Kelsey's bikini...on a private beach or in a private jacuzzi with a partner lol. Maybe on a wild weekend away with the girls (in a place where i wouldn't be out of place [like, Brazil] or it would be extremely improbable anyone would see me [e.g. some random Greek island]). Otherwise, for regular beach/pool wear? Lol, no. Personally, the top screams pls give me 'attention/validation'. (Then again I see skimpier bikinis just walking around Sydney on the reg and I really love Brazilian cut bikini bottoms so...dunno, maybe this is what bikinis have come to? Bits of floss with holes in it?) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/140/#findComment-3159023
