Karissa from Season 6 should not have been brought into TC. The main reason why she was brought in was the fact the majority of the judges were impressed by her interview. I'm sorry, but to me this is a silly reason to bring a girl into TC. Just like Charlotte drooling in her pantyhose over Meagan F. looking like Julia Roberts or Kelli drooling over Rachel Buckmaster because she may have looked like the one actress whose name I cannot think of. Neither girl could dance, but hey lets bring them into TC because heck they remind us of movie stars or actresses. They cut Grace Lee Sells at finals in Season 5, but they brought out of shape Stephanie Heyman into TC. I hate it when Kelli insists girls who are the same height have the same weight. There was nothing wrong with Grace Lee's figure. Stephanie was in worse shape, but she made the team. In my opinion, Grace was more attractive, a better dancer, in better shape and had the potential to be a top notch DCC. In fact, I thought she was better than some of the veterans on the squad.

Does anyone know whats going on with Milan, her Official DCC Twitter account doesn't exist anymore. Maybe its just a Twitter glitch, not sure...

She left the squad in November. Her bio has been removed from the DCC site.  She has an old Twitter (Milan, Italy @Milan Brahney)  that still exists but nothing's been posted since Oct 2016.

Laura Dern is the actress you're thinking of.  I agree with everything you said. I'm glad that Grace was able to go and join the Mavs for 2 seasons The DCC lost a lot good candidates who went on to other teams.

Also, did anyone else see this? I'm definitely underwhelmed with Simone. Lol 

 

actually, I like Simone's dancing here, I'm not saying that Jenna is bad here, but comparing the two here she danced like she was trying too hard.   Simone was smoother and prettier and more natural.

Just shows how differently people see things. I thought Jenna was far smoother, Simone was clunky, Jenna looked like she was having a blast dancing, Simone looked like she was trying hard to hit all the moves. Watching Jenna I think wow! Watching Simone I think "I can do that". Now, that could be because Jenna knows the dance like the back of her hand and maybe Simone is still in the process of learning it. That's how it looked to me. That Jenna was still teaching Simone how to do the dance.

She has a friend whose a current GSW dancer so it doesn't surprise me. I think she's more suited for NBA style dancing and always wondered why she left MDC training camp. Maybe homesick or didn't care for their style of dancing.

I know the word around here is that she was homesick, but I don't buy it.  If she were, I doubt she'd consider moving to CA.

Well it's her choreo so it's no doubt Jennifer has a better grasp. I just pointed out that for a third year, dancing for a world class organization that is supposed to be skilled in all forms, Simone underwhelms me. How she gets by with that and her weight warning over the years, and girls like Raylee get cut for not bringing it is beyond me. Also, others are kept and perform at just a "meh" level. Key point: a third year.

I still do not buy Kelli and Judy wanted her going for her third attempt in Season 5. I think Charlotte was the one pushing for her to get into TC. In fact, I would not be surprised if CMT was pushing for it too. She seemed to think she had a shot to make the team for some reason.

Well, getting called into Training Camp for a third time would give a girl that idea.  However, I doubt Meagan would have even showed up for the third time after taking some time off if she didn't think she had a chance.  Maybe she wanted to spend one year with her roommates (I think that was the year she was roommates with Brooke and Stephanie).  Frankly, if I was roommates with a DCC for any length of time and was considering auditioning for the squad (especially with their support), I would be spending as much time as possible learning the dances.  If Megan didn't do that, or even did and STILL had issues learning the dances, then there was no way she was getting on the squad, no matter WHO her roommates were.

Have there been any other girls in Training Camp who have had memory problems like Meagan F. or Amy S.?

Emily in season 7 had memory issues. Beautiful girl who probably should not have made the team.  I know she said she had a great teaching opportunity the next year and that is why she retired, but I have often wondered if she was just insightful enough (or warned) to not reaudition for the chance of being cut. 

Morgan certainly.   Breelin (and Ashley Pro?) was also called out frequently for mistakes...but I’m not sure if that was attributable to memory or sloppy dancing.

Don't forget Kaitlyn LaRue from the dreaded Season 8. I often wonder if Morgan and Kaitlyn would have made the team if three one year vets were not cut at finals, Courtney Cook did not leave for personal reasons before TC started, and of course Chelsey was not cut during TC. I still cannot believe the both of them made the team.

 Wasn't the 3 vets that were cut Kali, Teri, and Collin?  What year/season was Courtni Shea cut and were there any others cut with her?

Morgan is the original Yuko. Going to make it no matter what for at least one year. Might be right about Kaitlyn. Easy to tell she was one potato chip away from being on weight watch.

I liked Courtney Cook.  Chelsea was a smooth talker, I'll give her that, but got too comfortable and let her snarky, inappropriate side out at the wrong time.  That, as much as anything, I think, got her cut in that Kelli and Judy couldn't tell what she'd say in a situation where she was comfortable and unaware of/didn't care who was listening.  Unless there's more to both situations that you can't say anything about, @bigskygirl.

Emily (season 7), I really like her looks but agree she wasn't the strongest dancer that year and probably knew she would have a REALLY hard time making it back if she auditioned again.  Morgan barely got by on her looks, her sob story and her association with Kitty.  I think Morgan is one reason why Kitty doesn't QUITE put herself out there for girls anymore as Morgan barely made the squad her first year, looked terrified too many times, evidently had memory issues the entire season even when she should have relaxed and trusted that her body knows the dances even if she can't remember them in her mind, and got outdanced and outperformed her next year at auditions.

Kali (blonde, GORGEOUS and busty) should have stayed as long as she wanted to.  It sucks that she was cut only to be replaced in Training Camp by a not-as-talented look-a-like Kathryn D.  From what I remember, Teri barely made the team and shouldn't have come back.  Collin was a decent dancer and should have made it for a second year before being urged to retire.

I wonder what Amy S. is up to since she left the GSW and deleted all social media (for the moment).

While a lot of girls who make Training Camp are told that this isn't the squad for them and never return to auditions, Whitney (current MDC) is a good example of selective memory.  I get that she wanted to prove them wrong, but she had at least 4 years of auditions and 1 Training Camp to do so and proved the opposite.  Still, I'm glad she's finally on a pro team and hope she's happy where she is.

As for the current squad, a lot of these girls will HAVE to step it up if they want to come back or else there will be a blood bath in Finals.  Every year, there's always a few that expect they're safe only to get cut.  I suspect there will be more than the usual three or so if they don't step it up.  I suspect Kelsey L. will step it up each year for as long as she wants to be on the squad because she's had such a tough run to get there.  She would have been cut at Finals this year if she hadn't proved them at least somewhat wrong the previous year.

Courtni Shea was cut along with Morgan and the one two year vet whose name I cannot remember in Season 9.

Kaitlyn L. from Season 8 was rumored to be taken off the team in late October for weight gain, and she did not perform or made appearances for the rest of the season, but her DCC profile and picture was still up.

Kelsey made it back because she has the looks, and fan and male appeal on her side, plus the fact Kelli and Charlotte probably saw enough improvement for her to stay for another year. I personally do not think Judy cares for her at all, and she was overruled by Kelli and Charlotte.

I promised the person who told me about the Jenna saga I would not spill the beans on here. I trust the person who gave me the whole story, and lets just say it is interesting.

From my deductive reasoning here....If you think of what was said on the show...Jenna told K&J that she hoped Holly would be smart enough to stop.  Holly told K&J she was with Jenna.  So, it sounds kinda like Jenna was assisting Holly with breaking the rules.  Jenna said she really didn’t know what to do, but she had to know accompanying Holly to bars when she’s underage couldn’t be the right thing to do.  She could have just said no and went to Kelly for advice.  With my job, if I let something get to a point it is impacting my team and my manager finds out about it from anyone else but me...I’m going to be held as much, if not more, responsible than the one causing the issue.

All I could find is her LinkedIn account. It says her last job was only from August 2017 -October 2017. It's like she dropped off the face of the earth. Unless she moved back to Illnois. I can't believe she has as DCC MTT (May 2012- July 2016) listed on it.

I think this is insulting to all of these girls. Yes they are blenders, but with the exception of Savannah (who actually seems to have good technique but just can't do dcc style),they all have good technique and can do the kinda 'sexier' dcc moves. Even Maddie can do those, Yuko can't. She does seem nicer and cuter than Morgan though.

I meant Morgan is the original Yuko bc she was going to make it no matter what she did that year.

I actually think Morgan is a better dancer than Yuko. Yuko is prettier, but Morgan was just slow to pick up and they shoved her down our throats with that fake single mom sob story.

Now for the list above, I think all those girls are better than Yuko and Morgan. Jessika is boring and thick, Savannah slow, but all are better than Yuko dancing like a Jr. DCC who got lost and had to dance with the big girls. She looks like an adult (unlike Maddie) but dances like a little girl. If Judy pops a vein go look for Yuko.

None of the LSU girls are bad.

When I first moved out, I moved from CA to TX. I didn't stay long because I missed home and family. Sometimes a first time move away from home can be overwhelming: too many new streets, new people, new everything. I high-tailed it back home!  The next time I jumped states I was better prepared. I moved to WA by myself and lived there for 12 years!  Just sayin' that the first time one moves away from family can be tough; so many unexpected situations happened. Sometimes a person needs to retreat to the familiar before one tries it again.

Why did I always think Holly and Jacie were rookies together? Makes more sense now that Holly was chosen point over Jacie, if the only advantage was one extra year on the team. I always will think they should’ve rotates those two Barbies.

Brittany Evans was not a group leader or assistant group leader when she was voted PB Girl in Season 5. I do not see this as a punishment for Jenna. I do not think Kelli, Judy and Charlotte went to the girls and told them to vote against Jenna to teach her another lesson. Just because someone has been on the team the longest or is Group One leader or assistant leader does not mean she should be PB Girl. The girls and the DCC Organization do not have an agenda to punish and teach Jenna one lesson after another. Jenna is still group one leader, makes appearances, in Show Group, and in the top three at the point of the triangle. If they really wanted to punish her, they would say no more performing and take away her leadership of group one, and no more appearances or Show Group. In fact, they could have said no more six years, and you will start over as a rookie if they really wanted to punish her.

thank you.  If PBC is largely based on other squad members voting I knew 100% Jenna would not get it. 

And to the bold, YES. Jenna has still had an absolutely killer DCC career and wonderful final year.   She is beautiful and talented and I think moving on and doing other things will be great and a lot of fun for her.

That's funny because I think otherwise. She just seems to make herself everyones "bff" and because of that I could see them voting for her.
