When the previewed showed that Dayton was late I was like isn’t that a no no in the handbook and wasn’t a girl late on a game day ? A couple seasons ago.

You think Dayton would know. Bad interview the first time, late this time. Any excuses she has aren't going to hold up.

Jordan...although she seemed like she was extremely late. They were already at the stadium when she finally made it. Definitely wasn’t a 5-10 mins late sort of thing.

Yeah she missed the team bus then had to get herself to the stadium, think game day traffic, and then someone had to go get her out front to get her down to the locker room.  How horrible having that happen on ur 1st game. I bet she was mortified making that fone call ?

I think her turn is coming next week per the previews.  However, being out of control and stumbling on your footwork on a new dance isn’t as bad as standing there looking completely clueless not even doing the choreography like some of the others (Dayton, Malena, Kristin) were doing, so I agree with the call ins.  Kristin probably should have been called in too - and maybe she was and they didn’t show it?  Don’t they do that sometimes?

Well for VK (and Dayton, but VK is the one being so vocal on social media about training for this for at least 2 years now) this is most definitely not a new dance. But I have yet to see her not being so spactic and out of control in any power pom type of choreo.

I would think that Dayton had applied to RC well before TC started, for her to be able to head to their tryouts so quickly after her cut. Maybe the possibility of that path was somewhere her mind the whole time she was involved in DCC so it affected her focus? Maybe RC was what she really wanted all along, with DCC the fallback?

 

If I were one of the Bramhalls I'd be throwing things at my TV screen as these episodes are aired. Yes, CMT can only show things that really happened, but the editing of Dayton versus VK is infuriating. And the sad part is that all the spoilers had me ready to loathe VK, but I think if Tina would just go away, & if the editing weren't so heavy-handed, she might be tolerable. Goofy, out-of-control, but she is only 18. Now that she's had some TC experience, & hopefully learned a hard lesson about honesty, maybe she'll come back more mature & likable. And Daddy Kalina - please ship Tina off somewhere from May through August of next year!

Yeah, no. Would they ever accept back anyone who was cut for lying and especially a mediocre dancer at that? Id they do take her back and especially just one year later- as she plans on reauditioning- they can’t fool anyone with their “you won’t make this team just because you’re somebody’s daughter” crap.

I was bummed that Kristin was cut, but based on tonight I’m actually surprised she lasted that long.

Yeah, I cant even imagine how waking up and realizing that she overslept felt. Its such a terrible feeling even when you oversleep for small things, but for the first game with the DCCs who are militant about punctuality...yikes!

I wonder if social media girl Courtney chose the pictures to post on insta, if she did she should be fired.

I’m convinced that they published the smaller calendar by mistake. There is Kelli, kneeling, same shot as the cover, but everyone else inside small calendar is standing. I think BOTH the Kelli shot and the Savannah shots were placeholders while they were still in process of finding different pics of the same girls. Perhaps the new pics were chosen and the updated version wasn’t correctly saved, so they published the wrong version??? That’s the only thing that makes sense to me.

I know.  Must have been just horrible.   Just mortifying.  I wonder if she had a good excuse for why she was late?

I can’t believe she wouldn’t even let anyone criticize VK but won’t protect Dayton from this kind of exposure. Don’t even tell me there’s nothing she can do because we all know that some things are not even filmed or never shown on tv, so she could have done the same for Dayton.

COMPLETE SPECULATION: maybe one of the vets said that they heard that ONE of the legacies was bragging about having a guaranteed spot and Kelli pointed the finger at Dayton without being sure? It doesn’t make sense that she wouldn’t call V in and have the same “you’re not going to make the team because of your mother” conversation with both of them. We don’t see more than seconds of what really happens, but that statement has me confused.

She took 20-30 hours a week for all of her teenage years, spent several weeks away at intensives every summer from the age of 12, honing her skills. This may not be her path, but she is talented or she would have never landed the RCL job. DCC is very different than studio/concert performance life. 

Shelly, I commend you for your high level of integrity. I can’t imagine how strong the temptation must have been to teach Dayton the signature dance prior to camp. It’s obvious to me (edits and all) that she wanted this and that you wanted this for her. Congrats for letting it unfold the “right” way... speaks volumes about who you both are. And, as a mom, it must have been SO FRUSTRATING that she was late to the makeover, but again, letting young adults to learn from mistakes only helps in the long run, no matter how hard it is to watch it. Big respect for you.

During the scene in the last episode with Tara in Bimini, I really noticed her dark roots. Why would she go on a calendar shoot with roots like that? It just doesn’t look good with the rest of it being so blonde. For some reason, her face just looks different onscreen this year, slightly puffy or something but her body doesn’t look much bigger so it doesn’t really make sense.

If I remember correctly, I do remember someone on here saying Victoria told other girls she was told she had a spot on the team. I am sure Victoria got the same you are not going to make the team because I am your mother's friend spiel, but we probably have not seen it yet.

Around me, dark roots are a style - like girls purposely go to a salon and have them leave out 2-3 inches of root and get their hair bleached so white that it is almost grey.  Some will even have the root dyed a specific color that is not quite as dark as their natural color but darker than the ends.   Maybe that’s the look Tara is going for...?

Basically, it’s giving someone an unfair advantage. I asked Shelly this, and she answered this in a thread quite a while ago - I’ll try to find it- but loosely she said that it wouldn’t be considered ok, as all TCC should enter at the same level of learning.

@ShellyB- I know I asked you this, and remember the sentiment, but not your exact quote. Can you help, please?  I think I specifically asked, “what would prevent a vet from pre-teaching someone that they are close to the dances?”

If I were an SMU Football fan, the last thing I would want is my director of recruiting to be a DCC. Where the heck is Malena going to have the time to promote and improve the SMU Football team if she has to be a DCC 24/7. Something seems off how she phrased her job..... Is she "THE" Director of SMU Football Recruiting, meaning she has the top job.........or is she "A" Director of SMU Football Recruiting, meaning she is one of many in this position??? Poor SMU Mustangs Football, it's been a rough handful of decades now. 

I think she said she is the Director of Recruiting Operations, which I take to mean a more administrative position.

[scorpio1031]

Melissa R on another podcast:

When she was a DCC, the requirement was to have a full time job or be a full time student

The superficial stuff is paid for - teeth, hair, makeup, nails, etc

This year, the show will discuss weight - not so much for looks, but as a health concern

Another question about men on the DCC - still no mention of the guy who tried out.  She even says that soon you will see more guys try out, but still nothing

Yes ma'am not a requirement:)

Judy hates the stool

She can no longer do the kickline or jump split, and if done wrong can knock your knees out of their sockets.  For those wondering, "the goods" are protected by other body parts before they could even get injured

What happened to Alexandria and Kalyssa…….LOL!  She said that Kalyssa had other interests.  And having other interests was addressed this year at tryouts.

DCC success stories - Jacie, Abigail and Nicole for opening a business

 

She's done a lot of stuff this past week.  I've just found the two podcasts so far

It’s really unfair to Dayton that people are assuming she didn’t want this. Not everyone has the type of personality where they’re constantly screaming at the top of their lungs about what they want or doing backflips in excitement over an opportunity. Dayton prefers to move in silence and that doesn’t mean she wants it any less than anyone else. I totally get it because my personality is similar, and it’s not disinterest it’s just understanding that not everyone can be “rah rah rah, omg I’m so happy” all the time. 

She may be an introvert. I am. You’d be surprised at how many people who dance, sing, or other types of public activities are. I am very shy and reserved. 

I have just as much passion for things as my extroverted friends. I just don’t run around jumping and screaming all the time. Doesn’t mean I’m less excited. It’s just not ME. She could be the same way. 

[Jennv]

You are absolutely right, and there is nothing wrong with having a more sedate personality. Dayton comes across as quiet and serious with a dry sense of humor. She keeps her emotions in check. Nothing wrong with that. At the opposite end of the scale you have Victoria with her over exuberant jumping and squealing. I think Victoria is obnoxious and comes across as childish.

If their moms hadn't been friends, would Sam, Dayton, Haley and Victoria be friends?  I mean, they were forced together and developed a friendship from that, which is great.  The more friends, the better.  

I still think that Victoria needs to take time off from the DCC dream.  And if she has already burned her bridges with Kelli, then she needs to be told.  Unfortunately, I can see another storyline about her comeback in the works.

I'm not sure whether this is the case or not, but I do wonder if she felt defeated before it even started. Obviously from our TV Screens we have seen a clear case of favoritism for VK over Dayton, but how much of that was present in the moment? If she was aware of it, I could see it affecting her negatively in TC.

I often wonder about this a lot- there have been a good number of girls that are good friends with current DCC. I wonder why they don’t know at least the signature dance before camp. Also, they teach the entrance way late in camp. What would prevent a vet from teaching a TCC the entrance to give her a better chance? @ShellyB- is there a rule against this? Can a vet give a TCC a “leg up” by helping them with choreo before it’s taught in the studio? And, other than blocking issues, why is the field entrance taught so late in camp? Thanks in advance.

Nothing would prevent it, it probably happens. I wouldn’t do it because no one should have an upper hand  in trying to make the team....I can advise, coach, give pointers, but I wouldn’t teach any current material. If they came in knowing said material and parts were changed, or if memory was not their strong suit, learning new material would be obvious.

I’m sorry to say this blatant display has backfired on y’all.  Losing the respect of some of ur staunchest fans and putting a beautiful 18yr old in an unwinnable position. And don’t get me started on how poorly u depicted the sweet and lovely Dayton. 

Yes, I agree with that but hasn’t the field entrance been done the same way for eons?? And the kickline?  Can’t figure out why they don’t at least have that down. NO SKIPPING!!

Entrance  it’s pretty much the same since AT&T opened and the kick line is even older than that. But it’s not as easy as it looks to travel gracefully on turf, in cowboy boots, always hitting the lines. It is definitely a learned art.

Yes I can imagine it is. Don’t get me wrong, I’m amazed at the athleticism and mad dance skills these women possess, it’s why I love the show. But if I were gonna try-out for DCC I’d b hitting the nearest high school football field. If just to practice not skipping???

Is there anywhere we can see the solos from auditions online?

I’m not a fan of dark roots.

Just because something is a fad doesn’t mean it looks good.

I would add fearless to that list of attributes.  Takes courage to go for what you really want.
