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

I think they do.  I’ve been on this board for 4 years.  Everything that we have hated (jay workout segments, Melissa shoved down our throat) has been changed.  Seriously, we are the best focus group they have to go off of. 

Those things are all show related... I definitely think CMT reads these boards for ways to improve the show. But Kelli isn’t cutting Victoria or anyone else based on what we say here.

That's the only things they WOULDN'T have changed and would have ignored us entirely about her.  That is, until VICTORIA did herself in.  Otherwise, they would have put her on the squad (probably in group 1 with an eye to making her a 2nd GL in that group, then to GL in a few years) with no problem. 

Good point.

I do think that Victoria was heavier in that picture from Training Camp than she was even at Finals.  I just looked at the picture she has up on her Instagram (where she's wearing red) and she looks to be leaner than she was in that TC picture.  The auditions picture, especially, would have shown the "lumps and the bumps and the dumps" (quoting ANTM there, BTW) and we wouldn't have been able to see the band of her shorts nor even that slight gap between her shorts and belly (may just have been the position).

The group photos, due to strategic placing of poms, made all of their waists look so tiny. And no surprise that Victoria strategically placed hers in front of her abdomen.

I didn’t read that far back.  Of course they wouldn’t cut someone because of  this board.  That’s laughable ?

not a crazy idea.. One of reasons I like this show is the exercise part of it as well as the dance. I still haven't gotten around to finding that "rubber-band-thingie" that was featured at the cowboy fit segment and I am working on the push ups with weights. I bet if I could do "Thunderstruck" I could tone and lose a few in the process. I think someone was doing some side ab-toning work too.

Make the senior DCC camp sessions virtual so we call can join in !

@sATL if you are in ATL, we could do our own senior class!  I promise I will make you look good!  I am old, overweight and have never had a dance lesson!

I just figured out that Marshall could be Jonathan Van Ness' stockier twin brother.  For those of you who don't know of him, he's the "grooming expert" on the "Queer Eye" reboot.  Here's a picture of Jonathan:

This is the one I liked the best of all the ones I saw.  Of all the guys on the "Queer Eye" show, he's the one who could be the stereotypical "flaming" gay.  Any other discussion (about the show, the guys or anything else like it), let's take over to the "Small Talk" thread so we don't clutter this one up.

I agree that VK may have messed things up for herself this year. But I think she is going to learn from it all and come back leaner, quieter, more mature and make the team next year.  I also think she will be on the team for several years and will make it on to show group at some point.  JMHO. 

I don't know, VK looks like someone who is destined to be fat (like her mom).  I don't think she can get lean.

And we cost them (CMT) nothing. Many companies shell out a pretty penny to conduct focus groups. This forum could be gold to them. Especially if they participate in our conversations to garner better feedback

Now see this is the interesting thing. A few bad pictures of Madeleine and it's everything from how she's breathing to how she's standing. She's clearly gained weight and I would say it's no less than what VK has allegedly gained. VK doesn't look like overhang to me. A good exhale yes, but overhang no. Everyone keeps going on about VKs weight and I'm not seeing it yet.

Everyone keeps going on about it because it at least indirectly led to her getting cut. Not to mention, she came into tryouts heavy, gained more and clearly didn't care enough to try to change it since she blew off the help that was offered. Also, Maddie is a good enough dancer for them to give her a little leeway, VK is not.

Well, VK was told she would make it (according to what she was telling people behind the scenes).  People don't work for things they feel entitled to.

Courtney - so good to get her update!

Jalyn hair color - no.

VK has a double chin.  Not a good look on a DCC.  How awful to have to go through a body change on camera.  

Why are so many of these rookies total blenders to me?  Makeovers did not actually make a difference.

Dayton on the struggle bus but better personality and faces.

I would like to profusely apologize. I wasn’t team Victoria, but I thought she was a decent energetic dancer who liked like a DCC. She’s GIGANTIC. 

I know a bunch of people said “DCC needs to expand their cookie cutter definition of skinny is beautiful”. If everyone could wear their own outfits that flattered their body, that would work. But they all have to wear the same uniform that is basically ace bandages. It only looks good on rail thin dancers. Sorry Madeline, maybe you can be on a hip hop team that wears baggy pants. You don’t look good in the uniform, and neither does your sister in pudge Victoria.

Alanna has the best figure, and Madeline Mo. the prettiest face, among the rookies.  They both have fantastic hair.  

Madeline Mo. is very photogenic,  but oddly not so telegenic.  And Caroline has drumstick (i.e., more muscular) thighs, but at her young age luckily no cellulite.

Yes!  She takes such great photos but it really doesn’t translate on the show.

I didn't think VK looked so out of shape when the show started, just soft in the belly.  However, tonight when VK walked into the office, her face looked really round.   And when she walked back to the locker room her middle looked big, soft, and starting a muffin top.     I just hope she doesn't do what her mother did, where she said she's fought her weight her entire life.    A few years on DCC isn't worth hurting yourself for, and she needs to realize that.

poor Dayton.  She’s getting a terrible edit. If that was my daughter I’d be pissed at producers. 

 

I disagree, I think VK is getting a really good edit that makes hers look bad in comparison, but everything that's been said/shown on the show has been deserved in my opinion.

I got this crazy idea tonight. You know how they have the Junior DCC camp? What about a Senior DCC camp? It would be named The Silver and Blue (get it?). Now before anyone laughs me out of the room or says it would be a joke, hear me out. Some of us who are over, say, 45, may not be able to do the jump splits, but we still dance, love the DCC style, and would like the experience DCC dance camp for a week. Maybe @ShellyB would be willing to bring the idea to TPTB?

Sorry, I just got home from Zumba class and I'm on fiyah.

There has been talk about a Fantasy Camp...class, hair & makeup tips & some other activities at the Star.

That would be so fun, but Im afraid I'm too fat and ugly even for a fantasy camp, lol.

I went to high school with Stephanie DiBiase. Once I asked for boot camp recommendations on Facebook and she suggested I come to her "booty bounce boot camp" at the dallas powerhouse of dance. Right. It was very nice of her to offer, but I would rather hang upside down from a wire by my toes for an hour than take my fat, ugly, uncoordinated, old butt to a "booty bounce" class full of 20 something pro and semi pro dancers.

Where was Melissa at last year where there was drama with Jenna/Holly/Erica. And yes we have seen a veteran get cut before in TC. And on the subject of health and body image, all I can say is damage control especially after the rumors floating around about the real reason why Courtney Cook left right before TC started in Season 8.

I think Courtney had issues before she even came to camp - only ate white foods, didn't eat berries, etc - as well as other non-food issues.  If you bring that to a high stress situation where you are worrying about your appearance, you will just make it worse.

I hope for Victoria's sake she doesn't go to drastic measures to get thin.  She could end up just like Courtney.  Tina will probably go to any length to get Victoria thin by next audition.  I really don't understand why Victoria was soft at auditions even before TC.    Seems like Kelli, Tina or Kitty would have told her to go work out.  Unless they are all blind and didn't want to say anything to the princess.

I would be SO in for something like that.  I could TOTALLY use makeup tips (especially because I don't wear any) and a few hair tips, though the class part would be the most fun (and probably a good workout too).  It would be cool if some of the DCC actually taught the class or if either Shelly taught and some of the DCC came by (just as long as Christina is NOWHERE nearby, though I would love to meet Heather, Brennan and Madeline Mo).

I'm getting the same impression of pageant girl Rachel. She is pretty in pics and when she is smiling, but her resting face is.... eesh. How is she knee deep in the pageant world but so oblivious of her horrible posture and resting face? She doesn't neccessarily have RBF, but more of a resting "completely blank and emotionless" face.
