RE: awards  - is there any left for  KaShara to earn ?

I had forgotten she was 2018 PB-winner until this post came along..

here's the link of all of the 2018 NFL PB cheerleaders ( link ) . need to check if the NBA does the same...

many of the other cheerleaders bio mention they are (or was) captain... does DCC appoint a true captain - in title ?

Seriously, Last season was EXTRA. And I love Kash. Too much focus on one individual. They are a TEAM, right?! I would've made Kash point, Lacey PBC, and thank God they stopped the Kashmania  with Vet of the year.

Thanks for your kind words. The cut was surprising, to say the least. I’m not going to battle screen names with no personal connections to DCC on a message board. Dayton is a beautiful girl and talent

Looks to me just like the locker room pictures we see every year. She’s standing in her locker, her family jumps in a picture with her. I see nothing scandalous about it. Every year girls post picture

Now that I’m thinking about it, I want Lacey for PBC and Kashara for VOTY. Or Heather. I love seeing ROTYs becoming VOTYs too :) (wow that sentence sounds so ridiculous)

I thought KaShara was voted VOTY last season, or was it Robin who was VOTY last season.

It was Robin 

 

ETA - I would love to see Heather win VOTY this year but I'm guessing whatever went down with her no longer being a group leader means that's unlikely. Lacey would be my first choice though

I'd love Kash for VOTY. After their petty move during TCC announcements, I think naming her VOTY is the least they can do to recognize how much she's contributed to the organization in a time when they needed leaders. Do y'all think they'll make her an all-star or she would want to be one?

I know a lot of people were surprised when Savannah got ROTY this year. I can't remember, who did people think would or should have gotten it? 

Yes surprising since she’s just a so-so dancer. I wud have liked Lauren to get it, or Miranda or of course my personal favorite Tara. Thank God it wasn’t Christina?

I'm BA-ACK!  Sorry I've been gone, or at least off and on, since Friday.  It was all I could do to keep up with the reading.  You guys have been BUSY!  First order of business (at least for me) is to say that, while Christina's lack of hearing and her actions/behaviors during events where it's loud/noisy/busy and she's having trouble hearing could make people think she's one thing when she's not, she should still find a way to make it work for her or to do something to lower the noise somewhat so that she could hear better.  Sit in a way that people are on her "good" side if she has one, try to tone down the noise as best she can, ask people to repeat themselves, etc.  There are ways to do it that put people at ease, if they even notice it.  If done incorrectly, she COULD come off as rude, bitchy, a diva, etc. (especially to people who don't know any better).  I'm trying not to hate on her for her personality since I don't know her.  In addition, she strikes me as the type to stay as long as they'll have her (though why she wasn't cut for her solo this year, I will never understand, especially if it was bad as we were led to believe and based on what little we saw), especially after she spent at least 5 years auditioning (and not all of those were consecutive years either).  Still, if most of this years girls not only come back next year, but we have ANOTHER amazing group come through auditions next year (and depending on which vets retire), Christina could well be one of those cuts if she doesn't retire.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who sees that Victoria was in NO way ready to take the field this year as a DCC.  I could go into a long rant about all the things wrong with the issues I've had regarding Victoria in the first three episodes, but I won't.  People already know where I stand with her.  I will say I did NOT appreciate Tina practically elbowing people aside to get to Victoria while they were still on the dance floor after Training Camp was announced.  She MAY have been outside when the results were announced, but she sure got there pretty quickly AND she was the only parent/sibling/SO there when the support systems of all the other girls (excluding Dayton, but Shelly was totally the better behaved of the two parents there) had to wait outside to find out.  Even if Tina IS an alumni and helping out, she shouldn't have been allowed anywhere NEAR Victoria until everyone else got to meet the successful candidates.  Yet another example of the favoritism/nepotism towards Victoria and Tina, when Dayton and Shelly seem to get the figurative back of Kelli's hand.  I wonder if Kelli is trying TOO hard to get us to like Victoria and show why she deserves to be there, but didn't realize how much it was going to backfire until the show actually aired (well, and because of Victoria's attitude and behavior).

Remember what Kelli said about the arms flopped over their head pose a few year ago during the cameo photo shoot.

I felt so badly for Danielle.  She clearly thought she was being criticized if you look at her reaction and I just think Kelli wanted that pose to go away. Bad timing .

Based on where Shelly was, to me she looked like she was working, so would have been there regardless.

Yes on Tasha!! I remember when she was a rookie thinking oh geez she’s cheesy wth her pink lipstick and funny Instagram but now I think she’s really beautiful and turned out to be a great dancer 

Tasha was dragged for filth for a good long while here. Her lipstick was ugly. She was a teen mom. She'd been married three times. She was an attention whore. She didn't work, and was using her parents and her husband to support her. She made her husband get a job in Dallas so she could audition for DCC. She was trashy and so were the romance book covers she modeled for with her husband. It was difficult to read at times. In retrospect, I think that's why I've been trying so hard to give Victoria a chance. It felt too much like people were trashing her character based on almost nothing.

I liked Tasha from go. I thought she was over the top, but I could see she clearly inherited her personal style from her mother, and Tasha clearly had a happy little family with her husband and child. It's great to see that she's really grown into a solid vet. She's not the brightest star on the team, but she makes a valuable contribution and sets a good example. Most of the things people wrote about her - aside from the teen mom thing - were untrue.

I'm not sure whether I can say the same about Victoria, but the jury is still out on that. I agree with whoever said upthread that the fact that VK is featured so much, doesn't necessarily mean they're trying to make everyone love her, because she is coming across as immature and a little too much (in a bad way). I think that was a great point.

I like VK’s Instagram post. She seemed thankful for the opportunity, supportive of the women she met along the way and excited to come back next year. Everything a positive, sparkly cut TCC should say if she’s planning to return. Or even if she wasn’t ?‍♀️

Maybe I give too much grace for her being 18. I think she just ran away with what were probably throwaway comments like “of course you have what it takes to make the team” and “you’re such a fabulous dancer” and “it’s so exciting to see a legacy on the field.” Immaturity and well intentioned compliments might have just made her cocky, and she got a solid reality check. I personally like her response and wish her well this next year. 

Agreed. I actually thought it was a pretty graceful post. While I know the situation is different since she is on tv and has been active on social media regarding her efforts to be a DCC, but she didn't have to say anything. When I've faced rejection, I didn't make a post about it. I just pretended like it didn't happen and moved on to the next thing... Most people don't advertise their failures. Until I see evidence that she's a bad apple, I'm going to go with the "she's immature and bought her own hype" deal.

Yes, Shelly was working so she would have been there, but it seemed that she allowed herself a few moments to be happy to the point of tears, then reined herself in and went back to work.  I seem to remember that someone said that alumni (including Tina) were there to help out.  Helping out could mean anything, but it also means they were there to WORK, even if they volunteered to be there.  It looks like MOST of them behaved themselves (even if they might have known some of the rookie candidates), but TINA was the only one of everyone there to go racing onto the dance floor with a big bouquet of flowers to give Victoria a hug (if anyone else was granted that privilege, we would have heard about it by now).  If she was there to help out as an alumni, she was supposedly there to WORK, not to wait on the sidelines to cheer Victoria on (though she could do that as well as long as she was doing everything else she was supposed to).  If she wanted to congratulate Victoria, she could have left a little early, gone to wait with the other parents, and met up with Victoria outside like all the rest of the support groups had to (except for Shelly, but she probably had to wait longer to congratulate Dayton than anyone else, except maybe a word in passing).  Does this make any sense?

As for ROTY, I keep getting the feeling that Christina expected to get it last year and that she expects to get VOTY for at least one of the years she's a veteran (please let this be the only year she's a veteran).  I also get the feeling that she expects (or expected) to be tapped for a 2GL position if not a GL position at some point in her career as a DCC despite her dance issues and her hearing (the hearing alone could keep her out of a 2GL or GL position).

Agreed x2. I find her social media and portrayal on the show over the top and earnest, but I suspect that's just a very young woman with limited life experience and ability to filter or throttle herself laying it all out there. Perhaps taking a couple years to step back, go to college and do a couple years of college pom/dance team, polish up and mature a bit, then come back would be better than rushing back to auditions next year. I think she did good with that post in how she presented herself, and with some growth she could mature into a much stronger overall candidate.

Initially, I thought last season's drama, the opening of the Star, the HOF ... rushed Kelli, Judi, and Charlotte into making bad team choices. Now that they have had a breather I'm still perplexed to why they added Brennan and not cut most of the boring blenders? I'm sorry Brennan seems like a lovely person, but I just can't look at her. Those eyes look crossed and her head is disaportionly tiny. She looks like Amy Poehler.

I personally don’t see the fuss around Tasha. I imagine she is a great ambassador and leader, but in terms of dance I don’t see anything special about her. I remember everyone on these boards was shocked the year she made show group first

And I really dislike her pink lipstick.  UGH!

Now that mention it,  a little bit:)

 You know, if I were a mom and someone told my daughter, you’re on the squad no matter what, even if the someone was a good friend, I’d be insulted that they didn’t think my daughter could do it on her own merit.  I also wouldn’t want my daughter to be used as a storyline.  

And if I did do all that and my daughter did what VK did, I would hope I would reassess my own priorities.

Can you fill me in on this tidbit? Did Lacey say something publicly about not getting point? 

I like Lacey a lot and think she's matured so much the last few years. When she first made the team I was sort of like "who is this baby?" But she seems like an all around good friend, teammate, and she's always been a helluva dancer (those kicks!).

I loved Maddie's solo so much! I think she is adorable and she totally has earned a group leader role and spot in the triangle. I think it's healthy for the DCC to have girls who look "girl next door"/adorable that are relatable and not supermodel status. Marshall's side eye to Brenda when she was crying over VK's solo was hilarious! My only complaint about VK is her terrible false eyelashes! Otherwise she doesn't really bother me. I wish Lacey were point. I like Kashara but I think Lacey has earned it. I'm glad that Charlotte acknowledged that Lacey is what a DCC should be. I wish Kelli had commented on her beautiful solo. I actually thought Selina looked good and wore her weight gain well. I wish she would have made it back because she was so gracious and classy. I'm so sad about Tara, and I hope they address her cut on the show (though others here have said they won't). Keyra-bless her heart-she seems immature and needs to be more humble. I wish Sarah (the survivor of the Los Vegas shootings) had made TCC.

Has Lacey said anything about retiring? I feel like she's going to be like Jenna (started right out of high school) and be a 6 year vet. I doubt maintaining weight is an issue for her and DCC seems to be the defining thing of her adult life so far. I'm rooting she stays one more year and they make her point.

I’m pretty sure this will be her last year. She wasn’t sure about coming back this season at first

I maintain that I don’t think Jenna had the intention of ratting Erica out, but she was put in a very bad position. Erica Snapped the picture to more than one person and Jenna was one of those people. It is also possible she sent it to Jenna in a text since they are/were best friends. Kelli and Judy already knew about the picture. It’s quite possible they had already seen it and just wanted to see what Jenna would say. They questioned Jenna about it and requested to see her phone.

At the end of the day, yeah, Jenna could have lied and said she didn’t know anything about it, but she would have been risking her own position on the squad, so I don’t begrudge her for telling the truth or showing them, whatever happened. Jenna is not my favorite, but I personally think it’s unfair to look at her negatively over this particular incident. Erica did herself in. They are still friends, so I think all sides have been mature about it.

I still can’t get past K&J putting Jenna in that position. I get it, but FFS — Jenna was not Erica’s leader. They already knew about he damn snap. Why would they even pull Jenna into it?

Well, except that they love a good power trip.
