I have been pretty lucky and never struggled really, so it is particularly frustrating not being able to figure it out. I think Kelli looks great! Losing weight in your 40s + is difficult. I went through chemopause at 35 and then had my ovaries removed. I wanted to drop the 20 I had gained post treatment (Tamoxifen ). My doc said I had to basically double up on my exercise since your metabolism tends to slow down with age and menopause. Not fun exercising at least 1-1.5 hours a day and eating nothing pre packaged. Folks can do it. I did it, but takes a lot of work!!!! Took me one year to drop the weight but keeping it off is even harder!!!! The body keeps wanting to go back. Really does take a lifestyle change. 6 Link to comment

I'm trying to loose about 20 pounds to get back to where I was between kid #1 and #2 and it is hard as hell. I work out everyday, drink a ton of water, have cut out alcohol, watch what I eat...but I know my eating habits are not where they should be. I'm a full time working gal with lots of commitments so I struggle with meal planning and for sure eat too much convenience stuff. So props to all of you who have successfully done it! 7 Link to comment

PhoebeKelly1992 October 18, 2018 Share October 18, 2018 Something I never noticed before. Current DCC Hannah is seen frequently in season 11's semis and finals, she is sitting during solos and dancing on the field next to TCC Emily Roslyn and the judges comment on her kicks being low. She is highlighted on the field and the others in her group are faded out. It struck me as so weird as she is such a phenomanal rockstar rookie and one of my personal faves! 6 Link to comment

Over the years, I’ve talked with quite a few girls during the audition process, that have made the team. I have either met them through the dance world or we have mutual acquaintances. How does "recruiting" work? Does she just go look at other dancers and encourage them to try out, or do they have other advantages that traditional girls auditioning don't have? Link to comment

I think Ashlee’s saving grace is her maturity and attitude. I was not impressed with her before they actually showed her talking to K&J (they didn’t really show her before then). Her mature attitude blew me away with how she was dealing with all of her very real issues. She was mature and optimistic. I think Kelli knows that if she can get the dances down, she’d be a great ambassador for the team as well as bring more maturity to the team. The team seems to need more maturity, as evidenced in the group leader meeting with K&J, Maddie mentioned Brennan would bring maturity to the team. I forgot about that scene with Ashlee. She was fantastic. I think that may have been the most mature and even inspiring office visit in the history of the show. 10 Link to comment

I'll just give my thoughts and slowly back away as I watch on iTunes and won't see it until tomorrow. This is all based on what we see in the show, not what I know to be true in real life, so... For me, Victoria is a classic case of her qualifications making her "look good on paper." Tall, long legs. Long blonde hair. Big, bright smile. Exuberant personality. Dance training her entire life. A DCC legacy. A mother who not only raised her with seemingly no other goal in life but who is also the DCC Director's best friend. Whether not Kelli promised her a spot on the team or actually said something to the effect of " I don't see why you wouldnt make it," and Victoria interpreted that as a guarantee, I can almost see why Kelli considered her to be a shoe-in. At first. The problem is that, when she was incorporated into the group and compared in real time next to these other dancers - next to the gracefulness of Lacey, the country-girl-next-door appeal of KaShara, the incredible beauty and maturity of Tasha and Rookie Rachel, the technique of Daphne and Hannah, the adorableness and professionalism of Bridget - her shortcomings are readily apparent. Her immaturity and lack of polish is obvious. Her exuberance is embarrassing. Her dance technique is unrefined. Her unprofessionalism - whether due to her over-familiarity with the powers that be, her age or her belief she wasn't a target for a cut - was frustrating. I actually think she is very pretty and photogenic (in her IG pictures, I've never seen her in the flesh though), but for some reason it does not transfer onto film/video. She holds her head in a way that weakens her jaw line making her chin and jaw disappear into her neck - the obvious weight gain did not help her in that respect. I, like others, do not think she is fat/overweight at all...BUT...that uniform is like .0005 yards of fabric. What bothers me the most is what a number of others on here have said: the favoritism. That if this was any other TCC, Kelli would've cut her weeks ago (if she'd had made TC at all). But - all my own opinion- I think as TC progressed, Kelli started seeing what we are seeing and the thought of cutting Victoria - knowing that it was going to be inevitable and crush the girl - was probably stressing her the f out. Especially since she was Victoria's most vocal supporters besides Charlotte at tryouts. No doubt Victoria will return for next year tryouts. And I think that at some point she will make the team, possibly just staying one year, to at least say that she was a DCC. BUT: She needs to return with humbleness and maturity. With self-awareness and polish. With the passion that, if this really means that much to her, she will take the advice and help given and not blow it off. I recall Shelly posting on here that she'd given V some dance corrections in the past - maybe something about foot placement from what I recall - but V didn't apply the correction consistently. She needs to take that criticism to heart and actually apply it as well as getting other dance instructors that will actually critique her. She needs to understand that in order to make the team, she may not get to have cake or milkshakes or pancakes or burgers and fries for a year. Stick with your workouts...eat clean...make good decisions. If that what it takes to achieve your dream, then DO IT. (This is my personal mantra right now...7 lbs to lose and I CANNOT stop eating the Halloween candy I bought to give out in 2 weeks ?). And I want the old KFine back next year! I miss her ?. She needs to view Victoria through her traditional ruthless DCC Director eyes, not the rose-colored Auntie Kelli glasses. And as always, if you've read this far, I would also like to see more Marshall next season. Ok, CMT? One of the best summations I've read all season. You Go Girl! (or Dude, lol) ;o) 9 Link to comment

LaurenBrook October 18, 2018 Share October 18, 2018 I think Jenn K's choreo is fine and the classes she teaches seem to truly be useful - not just with their 'power and projection' but also with becoming more aware of how DCC are expected to act (mature, professional, etc.) She seems to offer real encouragement and information that helps a lot of girls. THAT said, I think Jenn lets her own quirks define her decisions too often. I don't want to say petty reasons because sometimes she DOES have valid critiques (like a low kick). But her definition of 'pop' and even her rude judgment of Kashara based solely on her accent...I lose some respect for her and take her overall criticisms with a grain of salt. as for her weight, she DID just have a baby and was pregnant for a lot of the past year lol.

Stick with your workouts...eat clean...make good decisions. If that what it takes to achieve your dream, then DO IT. (This is my personal mantra right now...7 lbs to lose and I CANNOT stop eating the Halloween candy I bought to give out in 2 weeks ?). And I want the old KFine back next year! I miss her ?. She needs to view Victoria through her traditional ruthless DCC Director eyes, not the rose-colored Auntie Kelli glasses. And as always, if you've read this far, I would also like to see more Marshall next season. Ok, CMT? Well written, but you are giving VK too much credit. "Humbleness and maturity" is rare among teenagers. 5 Link to comment

Haven’t there been other 18 or 19 year olds with more maturity? I’ve watched all the seasons and I’ve never seen anyone as unprofessional as she has been this season. Even Taylor wasn’t this bad all the time. 7 Link to comment
TexasBorn October 18, 2018 Share October 18, 2018 I'm curious? Why hasn't Lacey been made point? I've only watched MTT season 11, 12, 13 and Kashara's appointment as point seemed out of nowhere. On a seniority exposure level, I thought Lacey was a shoo-in when Jenna got demoted. 1 minute ago, rose711 said: Haven’t there been other 18 or 19 year olds with more maturity?

I also feel like this year K, J, and C are making up for dissing Lacey. BTW. I hate how the responses merge. UGH! 3 Link to comment

I've never heard of them Thank you! I am teaching a spin class tonight, and I just downloaded the song for my playlist. I get the best music for my group fitness classes from MTT. :-) 2 Link to comment
