Sara. She didn’t make training camp. They gushed about her dancing all episode and then didnt take her. Odd.

Edited August 21, 2018 by Jess14
Meant “training camp” rather than “finals”. Clarity.

I think she did make finals because they loved her solo. 

it is weird that they didn't take her or at least say why not.  if it was weight or not liking her face you'd think they'd have said, they arent usually shy about being blunt with that stuff. 

i hope she tries otu again, i really liked her.

The only "con" they said about her on the show was that she didn't bring the same power to the field and didn't pop when it came to the field performance.

I will add, that picture is not the most flattering of her hair.  I'm all for her letting it go natural (I have naturally thick curly hair too, and I can't imagine what it would be like after a 4 hour game if I tried to keep it straight?!), but it's too tight to her head or something.

I'll second you on having thick curly hair!  I have pretty bad hair, so after 4 hrs, curly, straight, I'd still look like crap LOL.  That being said, Maddie's hair was much prettier her rookie season.  I said then that I hated it & that it looked like old lady hair, but looking back nope, I think it was pretty :)

I'm not a huge fan of the longer curls, I definitely agree her rookie year it was the best

I get being a legacy can give you a leg up over the competition at the initial stages, but it certainly helped Cassie and Victoria because, at their first auditions/Training Camp, if they'd been anyone else with all the issues, they certainly wouldn't have made it to Training Camp in my opinion.  If her last name hadn't been Trammell (and a legacy), I think Cassie would have been cut at her first auditions because of her looks and her dance mistakes.  Same with Victoria.  If Victoria hadn't been the daughter of Kelli's best friend (and a legacy), she would have been cut at semis because of her dance mistakes and weight (and her looks).  Yet they got passed on.  I still maintain that Kelli should have recused herself with Victoria (and maybe Dayton), but didn't with Victoria because she knew that the girl wouldn't even make Finals if she didn't essentially override the other judges (with help from Charlotte).  Just my opinion.  Dayton would have made Training Camp regardless because it seemed the other judges liked her.

I think though that Cassie had pull before hand and especially as time went on.  She could do no wrong in their eyes.  But I agree, had she not been a legacy, she would have been cut her first season she tried out.  And the whole asthma thing her first season, who knows if she really does, but it seemed like a cop-out to me.  She had not stamina.

I kept getting that feeling from not only when she was featured on the show last year, but also from when she was in Training Camp season 9 and from her social media.  It seemed that she thought she was entitled to be on the squad because she had been trying to so many years and made it to Training Camp at least one time before.  There's just something that's not entirely genuine about her.

I could see both Jinelle and Lauren as sweet, caring, nurturing people who excel at appearances.  Even if Christina's hearing issues cause her problems at appearances (i.e. being consider rude, diva-ish, etc.), then she should either compensate for it better (and get better at acting as well) or leave the team.  She went in knowing she has a hearing issue and that appearances and performances are part of the deal and if she can't handle that much noise (is too shy to ask people to repeat themselves or doesn't want to appear "different" among other things), tough.  I can see this happening and her blaming her hearing issues for any comments that come up.

I also got the idea/feeling that Christina is entitled, especially now that she made the team.  It almost seems like she only makes the effort when it's adults/important people (or the cameras/media are there) and that working with kids is not worth her time.  If this story is true, it would be the second time (at least) that Christina seemed dismissive of the kids and giving off the impression that they aren't worth her time or effort.

I could certainly see Christina putting her best self forward with the talk show/podcast because it's a "media" event and thus something she should be on her best behavior for.  She wants to impress the people that matter: the donors, sponsors, Charlotte, Kelli, Judy and Jerry.  Everyone else isn't important.  That's just the feeling I get sometimes.

I get being a legacy can give you a leg up over the competition at the initial stages, but it certainly helped Cassie and Victoria because, at their first auditions/Training Camp, if they'd been anyone else with all the issues, they certainly wouldn't have made it to Training Camp in my opinion.  If her last name hadn't been Trammell (and a legacy), I think Cassie would have been cut at her first auditions because of her looks and her dance mistakes.  Same with Victoria.  If Victoria hadn't been the daughter of Kelli's best friend (and a legacy), she would have been cut at semis because of her dance mistakes and weight (and her looks).  Yet they got passed on.  I still maintain that Kelli should have recused herself with Victoria (and maybe Dayton), but didn't with Victoria because she knew that the girl wouldn't even make Finals if she didn't essentially override the other judges (with help from Charlotte).  Just my opinion.  Dayton would have made Training Camp regardless because it seemed the other judges liked her.

I agree with you somewhat about the part where Kelli should recuse herself when discussing Victoria, but if she should do that then IMO she should have to recuse herself when discussing Dayton as well. Even though it’s not going to matter because mostly everyone in that room knows who the girls mother is. But because them being a legacy doesn’t make them a bad dancer. Many don’t agree but I also think VK was a much more stronger dancer than Dayton and it didn’t seem like Dayton wanted it as much. It was very very noticeable how much VK wanted it.

The dichotomy is that Dayton, in beauty and personality, is what u think of as an American sweetheart, but VK is what u usually get?

I'm sure Kelly did pretty much recuse herself on Dayton last year - I seem to remember her saying something like "I am going to have to take myself out of this, have known her since she was whatever age/know her mum etc.." Or am I imagining it ..lol

Yes, the workman’s comp argument doesn’t make sense. Why take her along, if all she’d be allowed to do on game day is sit inside alone. And if she’s injured enough to need that kind of restriction (like no bumping into things and jarring your shoulder), why wouldn’t she be tagged as unfit to fly? 

Sitting inside away from the action feels like a big girl timeout to me. Especially because it happened after the Holly and Jenna things. 

A few things, and then I’m leaving this issue in the dust:

1.  Security: They can’t have a rogue cheerleader on their watch going out into the stands. These cheerleaders are protected when they go out on appearances. What would happen if an overly eager, drunk, man fan would decide that she’s “fair game” because she’s out with the fans?   She’s been in calendars, on tv, on the sidelines... all scantily clad. Let’s be thoughtful about this real danger. 

2.  Worker’s comp is a HUGE ISSUE. An organization has to pay MORE into the system (for years) when employees put in claims. (Think of how your auto insurance goes up after you’ve made a claim.) So yes, it’s a Corp concern. The safest place for an already injured employee in that situation is the locker room. 

3.  She not only put the organization at risk, but then she rubbed their noses in it by drinking and then advertising what she did. It’s a real job, in a big corporation. Even if she doesn’t feel well compensated (and she agreed to the comp when she signed her contract every year), it’s still a real job- with real rules and real consequences.

Inured football players are on the sidelines all the time - sometimes in uniform, sometimes in street clothes - and their contracts are worth millions.  Didn’t the write-up on her lawsuit say she made a total of $6500 a year?  While I agree her being up in the stands is not a good idea, there is no reason at all she needs to sit in a locker room for hours.  Especially an out of town locker room.

OK, non dancer here!!!  When you say Kash isn't finishing her movements - what do you mean by that?  She appears to be in sync with the other girls, but again non dancer here:)

It generally means that a dancer is moving too quickly from one move to the next without “punctuation.” If I asked you to move your arms up on 1, side on 2, down on 3 and back all the way up on 4....

a dancer “not finishing” movement would be one that doesn’t fully “hit” each of these positions before moving to the next. 

I’ve watched several videos of Kashara..  I don’t see where she is sloppy or doesn’t punctuate her movement. I might be missing it, because, again, I don’t have any pom in my dance experience.

She also falls out of her passe early (twice, actually), which kind of goes along with what you are saying.

There have been cheerleaders sitting in the locker room during a game or practice. They had Cassie sit in the locker room during a game due to her injury. I think they had Brittney S. sit in the locker room while she was recovering from a back injury. We do not know if she sat in the locker room for hours and/in no one was checking on her to make sure she is okay. She knew she was breaking the rules when she left the locker room and went out to the bleachers with a drink and took pictures. There are a reason why they have rules like this in order to protect Erica and to protect the organization.

You have good eyes... I haven’t seen her fall out of turns or out of passé 

ETA: I just rewatched the prince video. I don’t see where she fell out of passé early. The first one, maybe a hair, but she was moving to a new position and others weren’t- maybe it was choreographed that way... again, I just see a slight difference.

But what part of Victoria’s personality have we seen SO FAR on the show. She wants to be a DCC, and has her whole life. It’s Kelli and Charlotte who are showing the favoritism of VK, that has nothing to do with VK’s personality. && We haven’t seen what happened during TC to know the whole story.

Trying to compare these two in style is like trying to compare an apple to an avocado.  The best videos I've seen of Dayton are very fluid and controlled but outside the pom arena; the numerous prep class videos VK has posted are big and bold, but also over the top and out of control.

It sure was a mess. Her group was subpar last year. More girls got cut from her group than any other. Since the GL's teach and clean the routines, that's squarely on her. It appears that it wasn't just being new to leadership last year, because the issue persists.

It's funny that someone tried to blame Keyra for Heather getting booted from leadership. Keyra was in group 1.

The legend of Kashara continues to be more (edited) flash than substance.

Well to be fair, Kashara got the worst rookies and Jenna who was a GL for the second year and had another year as a 2GL (plus, it was her 6th year as a dcc) got the best. We can’t compare her to a 3rd year who had no leadership experience and wasn’t expecting to get any recognition with all these superstars on the squad. I think Lacey had the same issue (not thinking she would stand a chance with erica/holly/jenna there), but at least she had leadership experience.

This year I think amy’s group is the most boring.

I have nothing against her...she seems perfectly sweet, but Amy has no punch as a GL.  

and that Jumbotron really is unforgiving.  I don’t think it portrayed Madeline well...it seemed to shrink her in height and widen her   

I know many don’t agree, but I adore KaShara. She may not be as technical, but in her group, I can’t stop watching her. She has such pop and sparkle. And I adore Lacey ...she is beautiful as a person and dancer...but she is almost too fluid. Kashara puts an extra swivel or twist that L doesn’t.  I think K was the best choice for point.   

I completely agree. Maddie and Amy wouln’t be so front and center if there weren’t only like 5 upper vets on the team. Maddie maybe, but in a team full of girls like Whitney/Maggie/Melissa/Amy T./Britanny S. Etc. she would have been “the blond in the back”. She’s really sweet, but I doubt we will remember her 5 years from now.

Everyone keeps saying Maddie isn't attractive enough to be point, but I don't think Jenna is any better looking than Maddie. They both look like 15 year olds and between Jenna's huge forehead and abdominal scar I think Maddie is the better looking one.

I respect your right to your opinion, but I do not think Jenna's abdominal scars make her unattractive enough not to be point girl. I have a lovely scar from a life saving operation and to save my left kidney after being hit by a car the day before my fourth birthday. I do not think my scars make me unattractive any more than women who do not have scars. Some people have seen my scars and have ask me what the heck happened because it look like I was almost cut in half. Some people think I was the one who had a kidney transplant instead of my husband. I call my scar my I fought a battle and won scar.

[Jess14]

I think Kelli does a good job of picking a team with a range of looks that appeal to different people. Personally, I don’t find Maddie to be all that attractive (I think Jenna is far prettier than her), but she’s cute and would be cuter IMO without that huge grin. I actually think Maddie is cuter than Amy though, and I don’t find Kelli to be all that attractive either. However, I know other people on here do. Kelsey (not Lowrance, the other one) was another who I didn’t think was all that pretty, but I think mine was a minority opinion. So I think beauty really is in the eye of the beholder lol.

The legend of Kashara continues to be more (edited) flash than substance.

It isn't Kashara's or any group leader's fault when a TCC fails to make the team. Kelli makes cuts for a variety of reasons that are beyond the GL'c control.

I love Kashara. She is so fun to watch!!
