First of all, Kalyssa said she was valedictorian of her HS class, so how did she not know the name of our First Lady???  Seems odd to me. 

It's not odd to me. Being valedictorian in high school doesn't mean you keep up with or are knowledgeable of politics. It's primarily based on academics. It's definitely moronic, but to me it had nothing to do with school.

Agreed.

Its a subject(one of many subjects/topics) that not everyone wants to , or chooses to, keep up with. But now she knows, so the educational process is still taking place, which is what is important. I suspect AP World, AP US history and AP Econ (i.e. classes an HS val might have taken), would have focused on deeper details.

Chickasa, OK has a population size of 16,000, so it's not like her graduation size was tiny, either. Small for sure, but one of my besties was valedictorian in a class of 15 ? She's actually smart though. 

I don't mind the political questions. Weed out the brain dead girls with the basic current events and some use them to see how they handle awkward questions. Grace, poise and a subtle subject changing will get anyone through most situations. 

I do think in today's society and the widespread use of social media, to miss who the president is this year, his family, some of the Spicy events, etc. shows a level of ignorance and/or self absorption that I just can't comprehend. None of these girls have an aunt who constantly shares memes and articles that haven't been fact checked? GTFO.

Le grand was warned like twice before she got cut if I remember correctly. For missing a practice, then lying, then got cut for not wearing her TCC uniform ... Thats how I remembered it. Even Ika had 2 warnings (if I remembered correctly, or it was 1 warning then cut on the second because she STILL kept posting drinking shots on her facebook and then made out it "was a massive" shock -to her - that she'd been cut for that when she was warned of it beforehand)

After reading all the replies since the last time, I keep coming back to the big issue- underage drinking... In any state, that is an illegal activity, and even the "Bar owner" can loose their license over that.... Having read the club they were at was a "21" club makes it more so the point, as one under 21 could not have entered the establishment. ... LeGrande was let go due to missed practices, possibly lying to K&J in the following meeting, then arriving not prepared for practice soon afterwards.. Underage drinking is more of a " ambassadore" risk....

 

On a different note erm on the DCC twitter, is it me or is Jinelle further back in this triangle or is it me? I'd have thought she'd be nearer the front this season instead of on the 2nd row from the back of the triangle.

[Rosiemac]

I found this clip of Alexandria from her time as a ProBowl cheerleader. Holly is there as well from DCC. She looks like she is having so much fun! On a side note I have to say visually there is something just so stunning about the DCC outfit verses the other teams that just sets them apart from the rest. The first word that came to mind was elegant verses gym wear if that makes sense.

One of interview questions I liked the best was directed towards a veteran (sorry I don't remember which vet), a few years back. I think it was asked by Charlotte or Brenda Tate (which displeasing her could be deadly).  After looking at the folder, which I guess contained the vet's application/resume, the question was something like  " I see you did several significant events with our organization last year. Which event had the greatest impact to you?".

Now I really, thought that was a great question . Not only could one say anything, concisely, that made some reasonable sense, but the answer really show your personality, and what the organization's events mean to you and your contribution, other than dancing. Also it was a time to really impress the panel, esp. Charlotte, who will be pleased that the work the DCC does also leaves a positive personal impact in thier life and that the charities they choose to support mean something to all involved.

I too was at the edge of my seat to hear the answer - mainly b/c I don't really know what events they do, outside of the biggies , like the USO tour.

Yes. I noticed that too. there are a couple of teams whose football squad attire look more like something you would see on the basketball squad's cheering/dance team. some teams get a little "overzealous" with the team's mascot, trying to imbed it into the uniform style color

Is that the only uniform for NE? I mean does it get a little "chilly" in Nov-Jan? I know you're dancing, but still...

IMO the uniforms  with the sleeves ( DCC, Chargers, KC Chiefs, Raiderdettes, Broncos)  look nicer than the others that resemble workout outfits.

Can someone give an update of which girls have been cut so far? Also, when is the squad photo scheduled for? I saw it in here a while ago but I forget.

[bigskygirl]

There was a deleted scene on the DCCMTT facebook page, but I have no idea on how to post it on here. Kelli mentioned Selena and Raylee not having the DCC style down. Maybe this explains why Raylee was cut.

Question.. the LSU girl got me thinking since she has danced with soo many girls that have gone on to make the team, what other schools are pipelines to the DCC? I remember the rangerettes being mentioned a few times throughout the seasons as well for kicks.

Kelli's Tweet about Holly yesterday has a lot of layers to it.

First, the use of the word "Surprise"...The verb "Surprise" is usually, not always, used in the English language to represent a jovial act or occasion when associated with a person. Would Kelli really use the word "Surprise" in association with ones ultimate personal demise or dismissal from the team. I really don't think she would.

Second, why would Kelli reply/sub tweet with Holly's Official DCC Twitter handle in the tweet.  You can easily remove that from your reply. If she wasn't associated with the Cowboys, Kelli would have almost certainly removed that from the reply. That speaks volumes on her status with the team currently.

Finally, Holly still has her official DCC Twitter handle. If she quit or was dismissed from the squad. That would have been changed by now. I'm not buying the argument that they haven't because of spoilers per MTT. CMT does not run the DCC they just observe, that DCC handle would have been changed faster than a Texas Tornado.

My Hypothesis - Holly is still a member of DCC, I'm dying to know what the heck is going on though.  

They wouldn't remove the twitter account as they would notify people ahead of it being shown on TV or the actual timeline of when it happened.  Only when they have cut people at finals have they cut the twitter almost immediately.

[Uk-Eve]

Omg that measns Selena just got into training camp by the skin of her teeth and is "on the bubble"? Well I'm glad Raylee got into DMD at least they got more shows to dance at but means Raylee would also have to dance harder to audition to get into each home game!!! (Goodluck to her)

Heather O and Megan both danced at the University of Arizona.

Don't know where to put it but can anyone post the teaser to next week showing Holly crying and saying she was awful?

[ThreaLevelMidnight]

Just my opinion: I think that Holly is enjoying being a "hot girl" for the first time in her life, and just soaking up the attention, admiration, fans, and the men that want to pursue her. I don't blame her either, she should enjoy it, she looks great!  Remember she came to the DCC looking...ok.. but before that she was not a pretty girl (hate to say that about a 17 yr old but sometimes you have to call a spade a spade ♠️), although she tried hard and would curl her hair, etc. (see pic below). She really needed the DCC professional makeover, teeth veneers/whitening, pro make-up lessons, weight loss and toning from working out hours a day, etc. Now she's hot, she knows it, she acts like it, she dances like it, she parties like it, and overall just not really handling it the way the DCC wants from their representatives.

Second, I can't believe Dayton did not make the team. She did so much better that Cassie Trammel did when she tried out, and yet, she made

the team without a problem. Cassie couldn't even smile during prelims!!! She was a nervous wreck. Remember, she text her mom to say she was "sorry" for 

disappointing her!! There is definitely a difference in treatment for sure. 

I also have a feeling that Brianna was kicking low during semifinals, because she had just tried out for the Rockettes, and she was kicking at their level.

Just wondering if she got confused?? Just a theory. 

Hi there. Still new the show and DCC. But I can confidently say that during the years my sister auditioned in NY. The kicking is brutal. I had to ice her knees everyday at the hotel. She was nursing an injury but didn't want it to hold her back. Ultimately it did her in. They usually do not let anyone in who is not actually involved in auditions, but I was allowed in during set up only. They do drill the girls for hours just kicking. So when some arrived 3 hours early to refine kicking drills my jaw dropped. I was thinking how on earth can they audition after a pre-pre rehearsal . She really could have been sore I guess, my sister was. She mentioned kicking from the knee out was harder for her than straight kicks up. I think poor Brianna is just young and if she really want's this goal will be mentally more prepared next year. I also am in awe of these DCC ladies do full rehearsals hours before the game. Amazing, just amazing. Now I am going to go eat my 3rd bagel of the day and pretend my butt is not growing.

Wait THATS HOLLY? What the ..... I just stared at the pic for like 20 min, thinking it wasn't Holly!!!! Damn!!! I do like her brown hair tho, but I agree she stands out so much more now with the red hair but love her hair to be a little longer. She is my girl crush when she dances tho. Well I can't wait till they show what happened. But I guess we prob have about a month or so before they show what happened in Canton/with Holly/Jenna on MTT. 

 

Grr I am going pretend to go back into hibernation and pretend this board and (take a leaf out of Whitney Isleib's book and not look at) all social media and just watch each episode as it comes ...

As for the Cassie/Dayton treatment. All I can say is, I remember Kelli saying in episode 1 that she is going to have a hard time judging Dayton because Dayton grew up side by side with her daughter, Sam. I can understand Dayton getting as far as finals with only a few weeks prep for her audition. Cassie was special treatment, because of Judy and I wish that the judges saw and treated Cassie's audition like everyone else. Remember in Cassie's final season when she had that knee injury and Jay was saying "you either come and give it your all today or you don't get in" and then followed it up with "but can with give anyone else the same "grace" for having an injury at auditions?" to which I remember Kelli saying pretty quickly and bluntly "No" and I thought "Kelli you bitch!!!" Give the same rule for everyone and not one rule for one person and then a different one for everyone else for the exact same situation, because if I did that at work I would prob been given a warning by my boss for favoritism and having one rule for one person and then a stricter rule for someone else over the same situation. But then I did remember "Well she is the boss" and higher than her (Kelli) is Charlotte and whoever Charlotte then reports to if she isn't reporting directly back to her father Jerry."

 

But lets wait until next year when Sam Finglass tries out and see how much "favoritism" goes on in there .... if Sam is trying out next year that is. Because as much as I think Sam maybe a better dancer than Cassie ... it would be dead interesting to see how much favoritism goes on when Sam tries out from prelims to training camp to show group to the rest of the squad and its events etc.

I don't think a reason was given. IMO I think it could be because most of the FV winners did not make the team.

[Uk-Eve]

I thought it was because it was more work or something? Or was it because last years fan vote basically got in via fans only but the other years fan vote would have gotten in with the judges too.. Didn't Shelly say the reason why there was no fan vote this year or did I dream that? I remember Shelly saying there was no fan vote, cannot remember if she explained the reason (without looking back that is).

 

Off topic, does anyone follow Holly P's private twitter account? Just wondered as I stumbled across it earlier and wondered if anyone was actually following it to the extent of whether she is "tweeting" on that account, as her DCC twitter (and instagram) is basically "quiet" as we all know.

In the past, women who auditioned mentioned what school either high school or college they danced for.  DCC Alum Lauren Williams danced at Texas.  Some mentioned they danced at Okalahoma and Missouri.  I think Maggie on the current squad danced and cheered at Oregon.  Any major college in the region has a dance squad.

Knowing the name of our First Lady is not a political question!!! The first grader next door knows who she is. You would have to live

When it comes down to it.  If Kelli wants you on the team she will put you or keep you on the team.  In the past Brooke S had surgery I don't know if it happened during training camp or before auditions but she got to be in the squad photo.  They let Cassie through with her injury.  Danielle did not make the list for training camp the year she auditioned hurt.  Kelli changed her mind and Charlotte okayed it and Kelli called her number up.

They probably figured they could work around those injuries. Rachel and Tessa's were so severe they had to leave TC on their own. I can't think of anyone (maybe Christina?) who was cut by Kelli because of an injury.

Loren was the only FV winner who made the squad. I think Ashley Pro won the FV but it might have been the 1st time she made TC and got cut. Previous FV winners:  Vivian (cut 2x), Ashley Pro (cut that year), Loren (made the team), Colby (cut), and Jackie (cut).

Redhead Jamie (now an MDC) was in top 3 the first year they did it. Kat Dunn might have been in there too ( not sure).

Jax and Madeline were in top 3. Jax made it , Madeline didn't.  I'm not sure who the others were in previous years.

I do remember some of the judges making comments on the top 3 when Kelli revealed them. One made fun of Jax's hair.

[LaurelleJ]

Yes Brooke was already in camp at that time. 

I don't recall Ashley pro winning fan vote. IIRC, Vivian was first for season 8, Loren for season 9, Colby for season 10, and Jackie for season 11. Loren and Vivian were the only ones also chosen by the judges, and Loren was the only fan vote to make the team.

In one of the past seasons,  Brooke Sorenson had an injury and she was wearing either a boot or brace.  When it was time for the squad photo she showed up in uniform and on her crutches.  MTT interviewed her her last year of DCC and she said that that was the most challenging experience to come back from her injury and cheer for her team again.

Totally agree.  The biggest thing to me is how CHEAP all the other uniforms look too. By that I mean cheaply made. Low quality.  Some look like they could even pass for a Prelim audition type outfit. 

The DCC uniform is simply light years ahead of the others in terms of quality, beauty, and mystique.  Iconic for sure.

Cassie also blew out her knee on DCC time - during a show group performance, IIRC. It would be a super dick move to cut a proven veteran with an injury that should be healed before the season starts shortly thereafter.  Sometimes I also think Jay's comment was a trick of the editing monkeys and/or he was playing devil's advocate.

Danielle hurt herself at valley ranch, also with an injury that would heal during camp. I'm glad they kept both in. Brooke was a longer recovery time but probably still the right choice. 

If the players can have injured reserve, I guess the DCC have their version too.

There is a video of Holly and Madeline on both of their IGs of them dancing to a Chris Brown song and I have watched it at least 10 times and can't stop. Holly is simply amazing. She has something so extra, so fluid, so special, and it cannot be taught. It is a gift. Although Madeline is very good, she pales in comparison to Holly. Holly is just... more than special. She is really, really gifted and has some kind of something about her that you can't take you eyes off of her. She is memorizing and innovative and creative and really feels the music in her body and is able to express it so incredibly. She has a twinkle in her eye.

The videos of Holly dancing on her Instagram are amazing! She seriously has such raw God-given talent. If she isn't DCC anymore, she certainly has an amazing dance career ahead of her. She should audition to tour with singers as a back up dancer. I could totally see her killing it on stage with Beyonce, Gaga, Sia, any of them!
