Anyone else feel like those were some crocodile tears from VK about that cut or was that just me? Lol. 

No, after seeing how hard she and Jasmine hugged, I got that they were close friends. But it was so tacky of CMT to insert VK into that, because it makes her look more interested in getting face time than consoling her friend.

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

On her Instastory tonight, Kelli said she left Dallas at 5:30 to get to practice and arrived at 6:49.  How much further is driving to Frisco compared to Valley Ranch?

Frisco is a far north suburb of Dallas so that commute time seems plausible.  Valley Ranch is a bit closer to Dallas, but Dallas traffic in general is terrible during rush hour!

Basically from what I understand about a position like that is they are in charge of booking hotels and food accomadations etc for the recruits the college brings in during an official visit. 

Did a quick search on LinkedIn & it appears that "Director of Recruiting Operations" is a popular title.  I found Malena's profile along with other folks with the same title at different schools.

Dallas traffic is stupid no matter what time of day. I had to be there for a meeting and I rolled into town at 1 am on a wed and it was still crazy busy.

 

i wasn’t a fan of the power squad test this time. It’s harder to run on a treadmill unless you’re used to it. And it seemed like no one was really paying attention so they numbers could all be made up.

So is “director of recruiting operations” just a fancy name for making appointments, booking travel, etc.?   Here I thought her job title meant she was in charge of multiple people who recruit athletes all across the country, make them scholarship offers, deal w/ the NCAA, etc.

If it’s just some regular job that she’s using an inflated misleading title to make sounds more important I feel very misled.   Smh.

I wouldn't think she created the title, it would be the college that gave the name to the position.

I think this was the first time that I did not enjoy the uniform segment. It felt like the VK segment that would never end. 

I agree. 

I also appreciated that they showed Dayton in a positive light, but it grated my nerves when Kelli asked Shelly if she wanted an 'unprofessional mommy moment?" Like how about you freaking become professional and not try to recreate some random picture and gush over a girl who is clearly not uniform ready, k thanks bye.

I know...but she keeps repeating it like it’s as important and high up on the org chart as it sounds.   If I was a janitor and my job gave me a fluffy title of “director of facilities and sanitation operations”, when I was talking someone outside the company about what I do I’d tell them the truth instead of spouting off the ridiculous title.

I was pretty pissed at hearing Kelli tell Marlena that she’d trll her right then & there is she thought there was a chance of M not making the team, knowing what ends up happening. Yeah, things change, & they do have to cut someone, but don’t say things you’re not sure you can hold yourself to. 

Yeah - it bugs me too.  She seemed to lead Malena on that she’ll likely make the squad more than she should have IMO.

I didn’t take it that way. The way it came across to me was Kelli telling her that if she 100% knew she would get cut during this process, she would tell her so she would keep her job. But at this point in training camp, Kelli still saw enough potential that she wasn’t able to definitively say she would not make it...or that she would. I respect that. I think Malena was crazy if she gave up a career position, but different strokes, I guess. But Kelli came across as torn in the situation to me. She didn’t want her to quit unnecessarily, but she was really pulling for her. If the information we have is true, then we know Kelli gave her every opportunity to get it. I’m guessing she was the last (or one of the last) cuts because Kelli truly believed/hoped she would get there.

Traffic in Dallas is crazy stupid. Add to it the rain we had. Easily a 30 min commute can turn into a 1 1/2 hour drive.

I like Victoria as a dancer as well...not just for the entertainment factor (I try to not hold her mother against her...she's an 18 year old young lady). Same with Dayton and Shelly...I started following them  on IG last year....Shelly is funny as can be and I find Dayton to be entertaining, very witty in her own rite and lovely young lady.  I started paying more attention to Victoria after seeing all the vehement hate being spewed about her on this forum and others (facebook)...and I hopped on Team Victoria.  I enjoy following her on IG and  I hope she comes back next year and slays auditions and TC :)

Agreed....and you are correct....Malena and Lily were the final cuts I believe.

Yes especially right after the director had her unprofessional moment recreating that photo with Victoria ?. What is her problem with Dayton ?

1.  Kelli looks WOW this season.  

2.  If I were 18 again I would want VK to be my best friend.  She seems like a really sweet young lady.

3.  I think Kelli kept Malena until the very last to give her every chance, especially since she Malena quit her job.  If she had kept her job I believe her cut would have happened sooner.  

4.  Judy has been so quiet in the office meetings.

5.  Charlotte did a great job on the UCLA thing.

This is how I feel about VK too!   Like I would want to be her friend if I was her age - she seems so funny and sweet and the type of person who would be a blast to be around.

I just really like her personality even though I can see how it rubs some people the wrong way.

It broke my heart when Malena said she would give up a great job with a future, whether at SMU or other schools, to dance on the sidelines wearing dental floss.    I'm hoping whatever happens with her, that it all works out in the end for her career, and life.

I thought it was interesting that Kelli let both girls take photos with the uniform shell on. I feel like we have never seen a pic during fittings that a girl has taken herself. I have a feeling it’s forbidden.

When we say Cassie went to UNT did she actually attend or was it more like she set foot on campus once and then dropped it for dcc?

I remember a few years ago, Cassie was asked about her typical day.  She said it was school in the morning, part time job in afternoon, and then DCC in evenings and weekends.  IDK if she graduated, but she did attend for a few years.  Does anyone know if/when she graduated?  Seems unlikely she didn’t, she went for a while ??‍♀️

I agree... after 13 seasons, I'm tired of the same narratives: the "comeback" girl, the girl who has a 40 hour job, the girl who isn't technical, the girl who can't kick, yada yada... and ALL of the girls providing really boring, rehearsed, canned responses ("I'm just glad tonight wasn't a cut night and I'm going to come back tomorrow and prove to Kelli and Judy I can do it!").  

 

The latter quotation reminds me of Lacey Minchew, that blonde piece of phony baloney. ?

I cannot believe Kelli didn’t cut Malena this episode. She must have blinders on. I’d bet a lot of money Judy knew Malena couldn’t keep up. I mean, if you can’t do Flight Crew choreography, no way can you do DCC. She looks completely lost out there and now has no job on top of it.

So, did she get her job back at SMU after getting cut?

It seems edited weirdly or disjointed somehow.

Too much promotion of the Cowboys/DCC Organization and The Star. Damage control. Trying to prove they are not playing favorites with Victoria and Dayton. Trying to prove they support the girls 100% while they meaning Kelli and Charlotte expect the girls to give up their lives to become a DCC. Trying to prove what a honor and privilege it is to be a DCC. Heavy editing to make show why certain girls will be cut at a later date. The possibilities are endless.

I thought the UCLA graduation they gave Daphne was super nice.  I also thought it was nice that Charlotte participated in it, even though she had to show the DCC boot during her speech.  LOL!

I wish Michelle Keyes provided more input in this episode like she did last season.  I think she has great insight.  I wonder if Judy retires she could replace her?

I'm loving Jaylyn more and more each episode.  I think she is a fantastic dancer and speaks well.

Unpopular opinion but Victoria is starting to grow on me. Not as a dancer or performer, but her presence on the show is more enjoyable. It’s entertaining watching a goofy, 18 y/o with her head in the clouds, and I’m not being bothered by the favitorism since I know she doesn’t make the team. 

I agree. She really is growing on me as well. She definitely is not DCC ready, but she does not come across as entitled at all. She seems like she has a goofy personality and might actually be fun. I could totally be wrong though.

If you ever meet Cassie, you can instantly tell there's no way she graduated college (you'll even question whether she graduated high school).  Not the sharpest tool in the toolbox is my point . . .

I agree with #3 and #4; otherwise, I cannot disagree enough with your other points.  Especially #2 -- VK is absolutely disgusting.  You can often see her looking for the camera, seems like a total attention whore.

I have to agree.  I hate this season.  I finally started watching the episodes once I learned that Victoria was cut after sabotaging her pre-arranged spot on the squad, but I still find myself fast-forwarding through most of it.  Hope next season is something other than the "oh look, some unqualified daughters of people associated with DCC are trying out!"

Bite your tongue. I hope we do not end up with Melissa the Mentor scenes with Victoria, Malena or Dayton. I do not blame Melissa personally for the bad mentoring scenes because I think it has CMT written all over them.

I watched some of the uncut mentoring sessions on the CMT app extras, and was more impresssed.  CMT cut the meat out of the sessions and just left the fluff.

just had a chance  to watch-

1. Do they shout " who wants to comment?" And VK bashes over 3 Vets & 5 TCCs to be "The Talking Head" to recap the dramatic scene that just unfolded?

2. I adore seeing SB warm them up!!!

3. If you have the opportunity- take some classes w/ Michelle- amazing! And... You never know who may show up!!

4. Best Body in the Uniform- yes!!-- Dayton? Yes!! Adorable!!

5. I'll have to watch again for more details

There's a few of us who have commented on that.  You really see what she and some of the other DCC are capable of in teaching.  They don't just say you blend in - they explain how.  They point out the little details - ie Kelsey always looking down makes it look like she's dancing with her eyes closed.  It's too bad they cut that stuff out of episodes.
