PLEASE tell me you asked them about #metoo and flag football!!!!!!

You're too funny! Unfortunately I didn't ask them about either of those things. I was a few episodes behind due to travel so I didn't ask those questions.

Hannah is from the western suburbs of Chicago so we talked about that. She was curious if it had started getting colder back home yet. She said she misses that. We also talked about a mutual friend that she and my daughter have from my daughter's school and sorority. She couldn't have been nicer. 

I just told Tess how I had always thought she was pretty, but seeing her in person, she was stunning! I also thanked her for liking a comment I had made on FB. She said it was nice to meet me and thanks for being a fan. 

Funny note - there was a large guy standing off to the side of them. Just listening and chuckling about our conversation. So I asked if he's their bodyguard. He was like, no, just their friend. So I told him he had a tough job, but somebody had to do it! He laughed at that.

I honestly don’t care what women decide to wear regardless of age and circumstance. However, Charlotte looks TERRIBLE. I don’t understand why women feel the need to do this crap to their bodies to fit a societal ideal.  In the battle of the aging process, age always win. Save your money.

She is beautiful in person and a very magnetic speaker.

I met Lindsay who was cut a few weeks back at the Texas State Fair 10/3.  She was really pretty and sweet and talked to me for a few minutes.  We talked about how hard training camp is.  Not sure if she will come back as she said she was a nurse - not sure if she already is or is trying to be.

I just can’t with that picture. For the sheer fact that it makes me want to shower. The thought have having all that icing stuck under my nails makes me sick. Is she laying on bubbles or cotton? The whole combo gives me the heebeejeebies. I don’t do toddlers because they are sticky. I don’t want to have to worry about adults being disgusting too.

She really does. I always wonder if I'm trying to dress "too young" for 36. I get black leggings (i have 12 identical pairs lol) with solid colored fitted shirts from the juniors department. I've tried shopping in the "ladies" department but man it's just not my style. And I'm going from two tone hair (platinum and black) back to all blond because I feel too old to rock it. But then I see 55 year olds with rainbow hair and mini skirts so who knows these days.

Kelli and Judy dress well for their age I hope to have their style sense when I get older.

Well heck - I wear whatever my heart desires at 57.

Charlotte has the body to rock a mini-skirt so more power to her!!!   

I think Kelli looked great in the boots.

Neither looked ridiculous to me.

I don't do instagram and twitter because it is just too much.  But when I rewatched Krisin's cut, I teared up.  So I commented on FB and she responded!!!  OMG, fangirling here!  I can't believe I am this excited.  But I really like her - love her looks, her heart, and her dance.  I was sorry to see her go, but maybe she wasn't quite ready.  I just want her to try again.

I've been watching this show since it started, and it doesn't matter how many girls I've seen cut, there are some that just break your heart.

Not really a Gina fan here, but she's not hunched to me. More like a long torse and she's keeping her head and shoulders straight, keep balance. I'd love to call out Gina for bad dance, but this isn't the case. I'm a bitch. Yay.

Finally watching last week's podcast and dang Christina is one smug bitch. You'd think she breezed in and had Gina skills or Tasha looks the way she presents herself. Me no likey. 

I totally agree...not about you being a bitch, but about feeling that Gina's NOT hunching.  To be honest, I've become a Gina fan.  The girl can dance and she seems more approachable. 

Christine on the other hand ~ Again, you're totally correct......Me no likey today, yesterday and it doesn't appear that  tomorrow's looking like I'm joining her fan club either!!  Just no. 

About you being a bitch.....I feel a sisterhood here.  Never can I deny my own bitchitude.

I agree with you. She seems to have a giving heart and is committed to living out her faith in tangible ways. There was an authenticity to her that I admired. She's a great dancer and very pretty so if she can just work on her eye contact/connecting with the audience, I think she'd be a great addition to the team. Hope she tries out again.

[parrotfeathers]

I'm always surprised by which girls get the most negative comments every year.  I liked Gina last year, and Christina, and Brennan.  I was rooting for Amy too, but understand why she was cut.  I was glad Maddie made it after her first cut, but I'm not really a fan of the type of hip hop some people do, especially when I see what I perceive to be "real" hip hop.

I like Victoria too, despite the many things she has to work on.   I understand the frustration some people here feel about her still being a TCC.  But I don't have anything at all against her.  It's CMT's editing that has been making her the focal point.  If she were being edited like Lily, we may wonder why Victoria wasn't being shown and maybe say Kelli is protecting her because she is her pet.

I see it a bit differently. The only reason VK is still in TC is because she's Kelli's pet. I think the initial intent was for this to be a heroic edit, showing her overcoming whatever challenges she had (youth, weight) to rise to the occasion and live out her destiny as a legacy DCC. The idea being that the audience would fall in love with her and root her on. However, reality (i.e. her immature behavior and weight gain) is interfering as it does. Now we've got to keep seeing justification for why she's still there, when objectively she should not be.

If Victoria wasn’t being shown so much, maybe we would have gotten to see more of the other girls. Maybe the  show would have been much more enjoyable this season 

I certainly would have more respect for Kelli if I didn’t know she kept Victoria after she ignored DCC staff, isnt trusted in front of a camera, ranked last by her group leader, and only having one sticker from her teacher. Even without the weight gain she has problems that justify her cut. I lost respect for Kitty too.

Focusing on Victoria less would have benefitted everyone on the show in my view. It was much better this week with lots of dancing and seeing a couple of other people. But we still had to see Victoria being stupid a few times.

I don't understand the Christina, Gina or Brennan dislike but the VK experience has been extremely frustrating to watch. Probably pretty frustrating for those three just mentioned to watch while in TC. Christina and Brennan have had to work hard and it took them years to be deemed worthy. Gina got called out for how she was perceived to the others. VK is a sloppy dancer, out of shape, rude and immature and till the end they were still on the fence ?? I don't dislike her, I just dislike the crazy advantages she has gotten and ruining a season of a show that I enjoy.

I wouldn't doubt it was Charlotte. That beotch is cheap. Her and her dad have been stealing money from the cheerleaders since 1961. They get paid nothing for their time and get treated bad in the process.  Kelli said the dcc gives them many opportunities... To do what?  

Charlotte.  They really wanted 38 - even Judy who loves her spacing for 36 - and Charlotte would not budge. I'm very much looking forward to that episode to see how much we get to see.  

FTR I like Charlotte. I know absolutely zilch about budgeting for a major football franchise so I can't comment on whether I think her decision was wise/necessary. 

Part of me still thinks they stick to 36 because it keeps a certain level of prestige.  "oh you're a wold class dancer and performer? sorry, we only take 36 and you just finished at 37.  what can we say, we just attract the best of the best!"

This is what I do not understand. All the stickers for Lily?  What in the world could she have done to be cut at this late hour?  She even had a yes from Kitty. 

 

My understanding was they were splitting hairs the last practice trying to figure out who to cut.  I feel bad for LIly but I'll take her being let go over some of the others who were up for a possible last minute hail mary cut.  I really hope she tries out again next year.  She was well liked.  

Kitty giving a sticker to Victoria over JALYN still makes me eye roll SO hard.  Ok Kitty.

Watching the Today show with Hoda and Jenna Bush.  Jenna is showing pictures from a birthday party for Savannah Guthrie's husband, which Charlotte attended.  This is so and so, this is so and so's wife, and "this is Charlotte, our friend from Texas."  LOL!!!

Tara has lost her sparkle.  She was so bright last season and a strong performer.  I couldn’t believe Savannah wasn’t a Veteran Cut.  She was absolutely lost in the clip they showed. The Rookies in her group were definitely out performing her with BOTH power and dance.  She did NOT look like a Vet.  Like everyone else, I am wondering WHY they let Lily go?    

I feel bad for Tara.  I think there was a lot going on in her life that just had her in a rough place.  I have my speculations based on even just her appearance but they are speculations and not fact.  She was one of my favorite rookies so I'm still sad she wasn't able to pull it together because you could tell Kelli and even Judy liked her a lot. 

Savannah was lost in that clip but not all summer long.  I know a lot of people here hate her but she is not a bad dancer or performer in the least; by no means the strongest vet but she's solid and her personality/who she is as a person and teammate makes her an asset to the squad.  Again, I know she gets dragged here a lot but she's an amazing person; I'm still waiting to hear about someone, anyone, on the team who doesn't just love her and appreciate her.  That said, whether they end up showing it or not, she did have an office visit to discuss whether anything was up or if she was just 'off.' 

[nittanyvolleyball]

I was looking through Maddie's facebook even though it's on private and I discovered her rookie year pictures, her hair was more so curled with a curling iron than permed looking and it was so much better

[Breslyn]

I’ve just finished rewatching this season and want to share my thoughts on how the VK cut may play out.

During the K/J/Jinelle meeting, Kelli suggested VK was in over her head in TC. Then she said, “What I think is that you’re under such pressure that you can’t be yourself,” before admonishing, “You need to take this seriously and treat this as a *job*...you need to figure out who Victoria is.”

It is my opinion that in offering the excuses about pressure and then hinting at her maturity, Kelli was setting up VK’s exit strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised—though I *would* be disappointed—if we don’t see a traditional cut, but rather hear from Kelli that VK has elected to drop out of camp to focus on her (mental or physical) health, that they wish her well and look forward to seeing her reaudition when she’s in a better place. This is my nightmare, especially since it would likely be conducted off-camera, saving VK the embarrassment of a real cut.

I genuinely hope nothing such as this occurs, because I really need the relief of a full VK cut scene. I feel like I’ve been holding in a sneeze, and I need a satisfying “achoo”!

I feel what you’re speculating on regarding Tara and now that you say it, I think you might be corrrct. That would explain so much.

Also, I think Savannah is just lovely and she seems to be well-liked in the locker room. I’ve genuinely never understood the grief over her, because I find her bunny teeth  adorable and I think the shade of her red hair is delicate & unique. I’ve been a fan of her’s since the beginning.

When Tara couldn’t articulate any reason why she was off, it seemed odd to me. Usually someone knows what’s stressing them in life at least a little. I hope if she was doing anything harmful to herself, she might have actually gotten some help in sorting it out from Kelli. 

[nittanyvolleyball]

Tara is reminding me of Kaitlyn LeGrand a bit, something seemed off with both of them. I really wish Tara would have just left on her own terms.

I don't really know if this goes here or not, but couldn't figure out where else to put it.

So, I was visiting family in Arlington, TX this week and I saw that Tess and Hannah were going to be at a grocery store right by where I was. So, I went and met them. Let me just say, Tess is stunning. Hannah is too for that matter. They were both so nice and friendly. I actually got to talk to them for quite a bit. They were super nice to my 2 great nieces ( 11 and 13 year olds). I got a team photo and took a pic of them. I'm going to attempt to attach them to this post. 

I was so excited to see that they were going to be so close to where I was. I was visiting from Chicago.

Hannah looks like she needs a new hair color. In this picture, at least, it's way too close to her skin tone. It might be the lighting, but it just all blends too much in this pic.

I feel like there are some stragglers in camp every year and it really doesn’t bug me. It’s a paid dance job and excellent experience for those who are green. 

Exceptions being:

1 - The candidate has a career and QUITS even though it’s clear to everyone they aren’t going to get there in time. Malena, this is you. Given her history, I’m shocked Kelli didn’t give her the mercy cut early. 

2 - The candidate causes excess drama and angst amongst vets and TCC alike. Taylor and Victoria fit in here. They’re young and have the time freedom for camp, and if they had solid personalities, great! Keep them in camp to soak up the experience. Brianna immediately comes to mind here. But once they’re poison, let them go. 

3 - If they’re fun dancers but not the right style, make sure they’re cut in time for other opportunities. There have been a handful of gals in camp that would be excellent NBA dancers but weren’t catching the DCC style...I always want for them to be free in time for Mavs. Or AAIA (Ice Angels) since they seem to be a solid “minor league” option for those who are almost there for the DCC but need experience. 

Edited October 16, 2018 by kalibean
Replaced Ice Girls with AAIA...being a Stars dancer looks like a blast, but more former Ice Angels make the squad and that’s what I meant :)

[abigator]

After rewatching last week’s episode, I really hope Tara’s cut isn’t an “actual” cut. I hope we see Tara having a discussion with Kelli & Judy about her mental health & all of them coming to an agreement that her remaining on the team isn’t in her best interests. She looked so tired, & you could tell from her talking head after the office visit that she’s going through something that even she can’t explain. She needs to take time to focus on herself, & working as a DCC on top of a full-time job is probably so overwhelming. Judy shrugging her shoulders after Tara left the room & Kelli’s pep talk said a lot about how much they want to keep her on the team. From what I remember, the explanations for her cut always came back to weight, & since we haven’t seen a discussion about weight in her 2 office visits & since she appeared to remain on good terms with the team, I’m praying that it isn’t a “true” cut.

I’m completely unbiased when it comes to Savannah, although I do think she’s very pretty. She does seem to be one of their weakest, but maybe that’s editing. Do you think she deserved to stay over Lily?

Here’s what I am thinking: since the episodes were listed wrong on our tv sets, CMT/the producers are re-editing the shows because of whatever is going behind the scenes, things that we don’t even know about or because of what has been leaked. It will be interesting to watch what WILL be shown after all the behind the scenes drama this year.

I know she’s had a nose job - it looks like maybe more than just one from that pic.   Also looks like way more than just a nose job going on w/ her face.   Her makeup and tanning is also too much IMO.  I like spray tans a lot, but hers is way too dark.

Which vet red head got her nose done?  Savannah?   I didn’t notice her nose looking any different this season.  Someone else?

Well, considering  Massa' Jerry  bought the team in the late 80's that would be impossible for him to do. 

Not defending that turd at all but let's have correct information here.  

It's interesting that very rich women often think that the skinnier they are, the younger they look. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Older women need a few pounds on them to round out their faces and not make them seem skeletal, which is Charlotte's problem. She looks anorexic in yesterday's photo.

She responded to me also which I got excited about. I really liked her so i hope she comes back like she told me. I teared up also for her, Taylor and Dayton when they got cut. This is the first year I got emotional at cuts.

Ummmm,  being popular is the reason you keep someone -- assuming of course, that are not an out of control dancer or out of control eater that gains 11+ pounds in TC and/or top it off with a nasty habit of shooting off your mouth or disrespecting those who have gone before you and presume on your mother's friendship so you don't have to EARN your spot.

I don’t think Jaylns body is that great.   She’s almost too thin and tiny that she looks like a little girl.   When it comes to a petite figure, Savanahs is much better cause she looks healthier and womanly.    Jayln is a clean and powerful dancer so I see why they like her, but if they were picking the girls exclusivley based on how they look, I don’t think she would have made camp.   She doesn’t look like a DCC at all and I think many of us on here recognized this before the show aired and we saw her dance.

 

I think Jalyn is far more facially attractive than many ladies on the team.  In fact, I’ve noticed the homeliest of the group always have bleached blonde hair.  It’s amazing the capacity Barbie platinum blonde has on some to blind a woman’s true looks.

She’s so popular the only sticker she got was from the lady she pays to teach her dance. 

She’s so popular her group leader doesn’t want her.

She’s so popular that she turned away alone after being called into the office while everyone stayed with the other girl.

She’s so popular the only sticker she got was from the lady she pays to teach her dance. 

She’s so popular her group leader doesn’t want her.

She’s so popular that she turned away alone after being called into the office while everyone stayed with the other girl.

I find it very interesting that VK does not have a KF or JT sticker.

Last nights episode made me worry about Tara. Mental health is important and she hinted that her job and not being able to find a good balance was overwhelming. If she isnt sleeping well, that could cause a bloated face. Hypothyroid issues can cause that as well. But if you really watched Tara's body language and her eyes, she projected exhaustion, a deep sadness, and something along the lines of depression. I hope she will be ok and that someone will check in with her. It's hard when you feel like you've lost control, and you're just so damn tired. 

My family struggles with mental health, and the world still isnt accepting and understanding of people struggling with mental health issues. There is still a negative stigma. And some people dont ever realize that they have gone too far down the rabbitt hole because it is their new normal. 

Ironically, as all the "supposed" hypothyroidism was being thrown around and speculated/alleged that VK was using that as an excuse, with all the things you picked up on with Tara, she could perhaps be struggling with this condition. The exhaustion, the crippling fatigue, the bloated face and neck, depression from the chemical imbalance, it's very possible.

I've mentioned this earlier in discussions because I have a lifelong battle with hypothyroidism, but deep depression has been a struggle back and forth when the thyroid issues "are out of whack".   I apologize, this is absolutely not about me, I'm not wanting to get the thyroid issue started again.  For Tara's sake, whatever it may be, I hope for the very best and I pray for her well care -mentally and physically. It made my heart hurt to see her and whatever it is that she's truly going through.    I think she's absolutely precious.

I wouldn't doubt it was Charlotte. That beotch is cheap. Her and her dad have been stealing money from the cheerleaders since 1961. They get paid nothing for their time and get treated bad in the process. 

Well, the Jones Family bought the Cowboys in February of 1989, and Charlotte was born in 1966.  So there's that...

When Tara couldn’t articulate any reason why she was off, it seemed odd to me. Usually someone knows what’s stressing them in life at least a little. I hope if she was doing anything harmful to herself, she might have actually gotten some help in sorting it out from Kelli. 

Tara may not have been comfortable explaining something personal in front of the camera

If Charlotte was born in 66 she’d omly be 52 years old - I thought she was significanly older than that?

I did too -- I thought I read that she was 60 --she looks older than 52 at any rate.

It was posted earlier that VK was telling everyone the reason she was cut was because she is too popular and had too much air time, I wonder if this will come into play

OMG. She needs to shuddit. Everyone with a functioning brain could see she has gained weight and she needs time to GROW UP!!

Ummmm,  being popular is the reason you keep someone -- assuming of course, that are not an out of control dancer or out of control eater that gains 11+ pounds in TC and/or top it off with a nasty habit of shooting off your mouth or disrespecting those who have gone before you and presume on your mother's friendship so you don't have to EARN your spot.

JMHO

Wrong kind of popular = voted most wanted (popular) to be gone.
