Does anyone know how many "rookies" are still in TC?  Guessing TC could last into early August since home opener isn't until the 18th.

No. That’s Brody Jenner. Speaking of Laguna Beach and The Hills, those message boards on TWOP used to be hella snarky. Luckily, I don’t remember the constant whining that ppl weren’t only saying nice things about Kristen, Lauren, Spencer, and Heidi.

Sorry to veer off topic, but how in the world could people be expected to say nice things about Spencer???  If I recall, there WERE no nice things about Spencer.

I'm expecting mass casualties any week now.  This isn't going to be a rookie cut or two per week year until they make the "surprise you made the team" announcement.  I think there will be a couple of weeks where there will be several released.   Just my opinion.

Gasp, but what if her boss doesn't kiss her fabulous ass all day every day?  BULLY!!!  I never really cared for Kelsey, but she lost me with her "don't pay attention to what people say, especially on the internet" crap.  She sure as shit pays attention when she's being told how "wonderful" (gag) she is. #you'renotasgreatasyouthinkyouare

Isn’t that essentially her biting the hand that feeds her? Her fiancè built his entire sctick around playing frisbee and YouTube. She’s enjoying traveling and doing nothing on internet fame. Just seeing how quickly people change their minds about what’s cool nowadays, you can be on top one day and working at McDonalds another. I can name MC Hammer, Tone Loc, Candyman, Kylie Minogie, Dustin Diamond, or Todd Bridges. I could keep going, but you get the idea. Just because you’re rich, hot, and famous now doesn’t mean 20 years from now you still will be ESPECIALLY if people get the idea you think you’re entitled to shit. I’m sorry. I’m super easygoing, hardly ever negative, but the whole Kelsey doesn’t give care what you think because she has money, fame, etc. well, obviously she freaking does because she called us cyber bullies and also she can get right the f@*k off her high horse because the same people who supported her can slap her back down. I was a huge supporter of her, but I’m sure not now. ITA, the internet is great while it’s paying your bills, but when it’s “bullying” you (whatever) don’t listen. Can’t have it both ways.

No argument from me. If ever there was a reality tv person who demonstrated no redeeming qualities, it was Spencer. He was terrible.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see several cuts this week. They gotta pick up the pace of cuts soon unless they’re planning on a bloodbath at the end of training camp, which they have done before, so it’s not out of the question.

Y'all relax lol Kelsey shared an opinion on the board just like we share our opinions.

What I am trying to figure out, is who made show group and who else isn't gettin them boots! 

I feel bullied now. Just kidding.

I do think ‘celebs’ or social media influencers who ear their living from posting copious amounts of photos really should learn the difference in bullying vs critique vs sharing a different opinion. Don’t say “hey, like my new hair?” and expect every person to reply with a “yes, you’re perfect.”

Set your social media to private if you can’t handle strangers making comments.

YES!!! So much this! She seems to me to LOVE attention, she was always mugging for the cameras on the show, and now she has a huge social media presence, as does her fiance. So it's fine if it's HER choice and people are fawning over her, but if some of us (ME!!) who are not, and have never been, team Kelsey, speak up, we are "bullies". You nailed it! (And Dustin Diamond...you crack me up, he lives about 30 minutes from me lol)

Countdown...40 days

[tinabee1967]

Is it Aug 2nd yet? At this point, I would be happy to see the prelim and semi-finals carnage. UGH! Waiting for the first episode is going to kill. me!

[EricaShadows]

The good news is that Erin, Madeleine Malloy, and Brennan are all still there (though I wish Dayton was as well).  The first two were early cuts and Brennan was second-to-last and really shouldn't have been cut at all (but we all know my feelings about her being cut instead of Christina, but oh well).  Crossing my fingers that I haven't jinxed them.

[bigskygirl]

Okay I guess I must be on another planet because I did not know Erin tried out for the team again. Must learn to pay better attention.

[lkxydhfinl ghsdv]

Michelle Keys said that she is teaching at practice tonight...

[5678Pixie]

These three in these pix are much better dancers than Erin, Madeline and Brennan that can't seem to get the DCC power and style.

Yes they do but since training camp is still going on for the cheerleaders they only take the veteran show group members

A hair styling competition and he’s the judge!! Winner gets to work with him!  I’d watch that!

Marshall seems like the kind of stylist who would be nice to talk to while he's working on you, and that he'd probably have a lot of good ideas for hair styles.

Me too.  And I wish Amy's was still long.  Her current hair cut is cute, but I thought she looked good with longer hair.  I'm just jealous cause I have thyroid problems, and I want long, thick hair like these girls have and when they cut it off, I'm like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I think Kashara's hair is pretty in that pic too but keep in mind that most times these girls have extensions intertwined.

YES JALYN!! <3 

I want Brennan to get the power and style down so.bad. 

[ByTor]

Because I can't say it enough...go Brennan!

[flightlevel]

Yes Go Brennan! She has tweaked her look a little bit this year and really looks great. She definitely has “the look” down and is talented enough to make it.  

[DCC.Style.fan]

I'm am totally team Brennan, team Brianna, and I will say it IF  - that's a big if,   if Erin can nail the style and execution of pom style, I would love to see her make it!

Hang in there Brennan!  Lots of us are rooting for you.   And those who aren't just aren't.

[Katherine1904]

I’m surprised to see Lindsey be cut, I would have thought she’d have been great- similar look to KaShara, great body, former TCU. Anyone have insight into the reasons behind the cut? 

[Cowboysfan16]

So excited for Dayton! ? Sam had posted on her story that Dayton is now a dancer for Royal Caribbean but now it’s gone.. and she kind of confirmed it on her own story. That’s why she’s in London I’m guessing, lol. 

So obviously, we’ll have to wait for Dayton to announce/confirm but good for her if so!

NO KIDDING!!!  The travel, the people, the experience...…..she's still so young.  There are so many experiences open to a gal with her talent, beauty and smarts.

Isn’t everyone back from vacay? Last year (and the year before) they announced show group on July 1 or July 2... it’s the 10th! Why the radio silence? Ok, I’m done whining

I was so sad. She was one of my favorites. I’m thinking she may be similar to Madeline last year...great on her college team, but not a mature dancer and not used to the rigors of training camp.

[Gigi88]

I know this is super shallow and petty but it irks me how TCC Madeline smiles with her mouth open . It reminds me of the thing Bill Skarsgard does with his lip and chin when portraying Pennywise lol 

[Law Mom]

I'm not sure why so many people are taking Kelsey's comment personally. I doubt she was referring to ordinary criticism or opinions. She might not have even been referring to comments about herself. But let's be real, gratuitously calling someone fat or ugly every time her name is mentioned, repeating tired old critiques over and over ad nauseum (even if they are objectively true), or outright making stuff up, is bullying.

[ByTor]

So Dayton's body and dancing aren't good enough for DCC but certainly are for Royal Caribbean, and they have a reputation for having "world class" (to steal a Kelli term) entertainment.  Not to sound mean, but maybe Dayton didn't get the oh so elusive DCC style because she couldn't dumb her dancing down.  I don't care how much they talk about "technique", their dances aren't exactly technical.

[parrotfeathers]

I cruise with RCL regularly.  They do indeed have world class entertainment.  Dayton will have a great experience with working while cruising, and her job will entail much more than dancing.   It's a great way to see the world.

[nittanyvolleyball]

I think Dayton lucked out with not getting to be a DCC. I'd rather dance on a cruise where I can explore the world.

I've only cruised with them twice, but I agree, I always enjoyed the shows.

Plus, this is really valuable performing experience- a great way to add projection and confidence if she chooses to try out for DCC in the future... also great networking for jobs with traveling broadway musicals! 

@ShellyB- please tell Dayton that there are many here cheering her on!

Has there been any confirmation she made it? Out of curiosity I checked their website about auditions, and it looks like the auditions the other day were the first round with callbacks being tomorrow. http://www.royalcaribbeanproductions.com/auditions 

[PrincessLeia]

Oh way go Dayton! I hope she makes it! What an amazing opportunity. I’ve had friends who worked in spas for some of the fancy European cruise lines, and they said it was the time of their lives!
