I actually think I saw her on the show last year. When the girls were leaving after prelims or semis. I’ll have to rewatch and snap a picture 

Interesting. If I were her I never would have shown my face again, then again I don’t think she has the greatest amount of self awareness.

I wonder what Natalie Woods is doing behind the scenes?  Anyone know?

(sorry, not the best photo, it's a screenie from video so quickly did what I could in PS)

She's been working behind the scenes for years. For production if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks.  I work in production so recognize the walkie/mic set up.

Cristi’s mom has been on here before, I can’t remember exactly what she said but it was something about Cristi’s nose and that she refuses to get it done

Can I just say THANK YOU to people who compile the lists - super grateful.

So I agree that they've cut girls less pretty than VK but they've also had DCCs less pretty than her. 

Does anyone else think they should get candidates to at least do the splits or something at audition round 1 - I feel that "her kicks were a dillbreakerrrr" is such a massive part of round 2 that they could avoid. 

Also I hate that CMT uses "1 2 3 turnaround" pretty much every year for the fat/bad dancer montage.

I don't think she comes across entitled on her IG  but at dance classes  I KNOW she comes across entitled, annoying, smarty pants, cocky, aggressive and full of herself. 

I know it's bad for the team but from a show perspective it's GREAT when the girls are too cocky/big for their boots... I love the drama when the vets or staff call them out. That's a bit mean I realise but it's so enjoyable. 

[Holly85]

Kind of blurry bc it was a boomerang but they aren’t doing it on the field 

[5678Pixie]

I heard there were only 150 girls audition yesterday.  I am surprised they would take 100 of them to semi.  Must mean they have some talent this year hopefully.

That's okay. It was back in 2016 because Emma didn't audition for the DCC last year; she stayed with the DSIG. I've always felt Cristi's  face was similar to actress Courtney Thorne Smith; the same unusual shape.

Does anyone know if the black girl thats an AAIA made it to semis? Think her name's @brittanyelle. She made it last year to semis and she's been really quiet this year. i auditioned for a semi pro team with her a couple years ago in CA, she's a good dancer and very pretty and sweet. Bummed if she didn't make it.

She did not start bugging me until her last year. I get the mean girl, and I will rat out any vet or TC Candidate out if they do not agree with me or live and breath DCC 24/7/365 vibe from her especially in her fifth year. She also seem to be a major butt kisser in her last season also. Also the dreaded scene in Season 6 where Taylor was called out, and Ally was telling her to say yes ma'm to Cassie. I mean really...Why did she have to put her two cents in over something as stupid as that. I think she let the I am the only five year vet attitude go to her head. I also find it interesting Kelli and Judy paired Ally and Cassie as group leader and asst. group leader in Season 5 especially after Shelly B. said they like to pair group leaders in relation to personalities. Need I say more.

Lots of fantastic talent this year !  Hope that means cutting those fly by night vets that  made it due to lack of talent / poor behaviors of vets !!!

Looking at that second staff picture, I've never thought that Amy and Melissa looked alike, but I keep looking at the pictures from this weekend and thinking that Amy is Melissa before doing a doubletake. Also, who is the super tall woman in the middle?

I remember reading somewhere a few girls who got cut at finals (not vets) got feedback from a judge and were urged to try out again. I bet dollars to donuts Dayton was not the only girl past or present who has gotten some feedback from a judge (not from Kelli, Judy or Charlotte.)

I completely agree - and didn't someone on one of the podcasts talk about a hand written letter  they received from Kelli  encouraging her to try out again ?   Or am I making that up ?!

[DancingNurse]

Those tank tops are dreadful. 

[sleepyjean]

I really think Victoria and Dayton could both benefit from a couple of years on a college dance team. Assuming both are doing college. I know Dayton went off to U of Arizona but moved back to Texas before the end of the school year. I think she transferred to a local community college, but I may be wrong about that.  I don't think Victoria plans on college. I saw something on Tina's social media a while back that made me think that wasn't the plan for her, and I think Victoria would've posted something herself if she was going to a specific school.

I think someone here posted that Kelli does send out some sort of thank you letters. Which again is different from personalized, verbal feedback. 

Can't wait for the results. Auditions are the worst for me-that's the only time me being way ahead of Texas time really matters. Pff!
