I'm thinking it would have been more prudent if Kelli would have broached the subject sooner with Victoria.  Then she would have had a better opportunity to get the weight off.

She ever said she avoided it in their first meeting...like why? Again, blind idiot. 

[Loves2Dance]

I did notice that Kelli never told Dayton "This will be your last night," and Judy breaking down was hard to see. Dayton crying was heart-wrenching to hear and the fact that Kelli chose a night to cut her when her mom wasn't in the building is circumspect to me. I don't know why, it's just felt off since the moment I read that Shelly didn't have a heads up because she wasn't there. 

Kelli and Kitty have definitely lost me for life and I used to love Kitty. I wish Judy would scream louder. It'll be interesting to see when she decided to hang her boots up.

Oh and Jinelle in the room with VK definitely gives strength to the rumors of her involvement of trying to get VK healthier.

Grace Lee Sells was cut at the end of TC in Season 4 for weight. I saw nothing wrong with her figure, and she could out danced and perform some of the vets on the squad. Grace is one of my favorite all time TC Candidates. She would have been a great asset for the squad. I will now go to the DCC:MTT Facebook page and look for the videos a few of you have been talking about.

Kelli also said it was noticed at auditions and Kelli said she never said anything too. They knew VK had a weight issue at auditions, but overlooked it....then she gains 11 lbs...Kelli has removed vets from appearances on just 5 lbs. 

Judy just sitting silently. 

[Loves2Dance]

Who is the blonde vet in this one? Lexie...is she also on a weight warning? I feel like half the quad is on one at this point...

[Sarah99]

Dayton's cut got me, and I'm not an easy crier. I'll tell you one thing, Dayton, you have something very important that cannot be taught in dance class, and that's a whole lot of grace. Best of luck to you.

[SmpIsimon]

Kelli says after cutting Dayton: "I really want this audition process to maintain its integrity."  How she can say that with that big old cow Victoria still a part of training camp is beyond me.  Oh the irony -- Charlotte, you need to replace Kelli now!

Kelli:  VK has gained 11 pounds since training camp.

Kitty:  Give her a chance to get the weight off!

 

Yeah, because we all know there's dozens of healthy ways to lose 11 pounds in just a few weeks.  Jesus.  This organization has jumped the shark.

It’s more than that too...”because she has been in your program since she was 10”. 

Dayton was struggling with the dances, but looked good in the kickline.  VK should have been cut with her too.  

[SmpIsimon]

I can tell you that, when both Dayton and Victoria were called in for the third time and Dayton was cut but Victoria wasn't, the other girls were PISSED.  Many of them are or have been on weight warning for being just a few pounds over and the fact that Kelli would keep Victoria, who had gained ELEVEN pounds DURING training camp (and she was already considered a little heavy at auditions), really made them feel that Victoria was being rammed down their throats.  And the fact that Victoria is so two-faced, running to K and J to gossip about the girls' private lives, really made her public enemy #1.  I am told that the morale among this year's squad is some of the worst ever and many blame Victoria for that.  

I really hope she doesn't audition again.  I honestly believe many of the veterans would retire.

[rl27rl]

I watched the clip on the meeting with Kitty and the other choreographer.  I just had to say that I have never been more disappointed in Kelli and Kitty before.  I have lost so much respect for these two.  In the past seasons, as some have mentioned, they have cut vets at auditions for less weight gain or cut during training camp.  I wanted Judy to say something so badly, you could see it on her face that she wanted to say something.  I am shocked that neither Kitty nor Kelli could remain impartial.  If they just got information on these girls on paper with no names and no pictures, would they treat these girls the same?  Who would really have been cut by now?

[Jess14]

The thing with VK is that weight is such an easy reason to cut someone. It’s relatively objective (i say relatively because I think there are major issues with weighing girls in the evening), and multiple girls have been cut for it in the past.  If this rookie class was as great as they claim it is, and they were having trouble making decisions, well then, there you go - VK gave you a reason to cut her on a silver platter. It should’ve been easy. The fact that it wasn’t can only be chalked up to rank favoritism. I’m not even one of the VK haters. I have no ill will towards her, but truth is truth. The whole situation with her is embarrassing.

It is utterly ridiculous that Kitty says VK deserves more time to get off 11 freaking pounds gained in a few weeks when she has come down so hard on veterans and TCs who gained even less than that. If VK at the age of 18 and doing intense cardio cannot maintain a lower weight, I don’t really see how they think she could last as a DCC. Maybe her food choices are horrible and need help but in that case she should have listened to Jinelle and her food tips. She does not deserve the chance that no other TCC would get. Kitty and Kelli are showing her such blatant favoritism that you can tell Judy is afraid to speak up.

How on earth did they wait so long to tell VK about her weight? Also, VK’s giggly attitude about going into the office is either extreme immaturity or she truly did believe as some have stated that she would make the team no matter what and this was just for show. She did not seem to take it seriously that she could be cut.

I have lost a lot of respect for Kelli. Good for Judy for realizing how hard the situation actually is vs how Kelli wants it to appear.

Good for Dayton. I think they would have made it not fun for her the entire season. Go make friends and memories with people who aren’t pissed off at you all the time. Enjoy dancing without being overly criticized. 

[soapmaniac22]

Long time stalker, long time watcher and I finally created an account after watching Dayton's cut. 

As someone who doesn't really get emotional over this show (I watch it when I work out bc it's a heck of a lot of a motivator), but Judy breaking down when Dayton was breaking down really got to me. She was already crying before Kelli even got to the part where she was cutting her, and when Dayton realized she was getting cut. I think it spoke VOLUMES of how Judy really felt about it. I think she was always in Dayton's corner, but ultimately whether it be that she couldn't say something or couldn't say anything without getting shut down, it was clear that her cut was the hardest for her. Especially since she knew there were more undeserving candidates still left in. I did notice that in previous office visits, Judy seemed to be a bit emotional in Dayton's. Especially after the makeover debacle, she could barely look at her and I think it was mainly bc Dayton was crying IMO. I mean, she's known the girl since she was a baby and probably saw her on a daily basis. 

[LaurenBrook]

Wow.  Dayton's cut was brutal, I was tearing up and I almost never cry at those.  I have a feeling Judy spent most of this summer with her mouth shut because she knew she'd start screaming if she opened it; there is NO way she would have cut Dayton before VK.  She looked ready to die when Kelli was cutting Dayton - I'm SO glad she refused to help Kelli every time K looked at her.  No, Finglass. This is YOUR crappy, baffling decision, you do your own dirty work.  And Kitty...wow, so disappointed.  She's called out girls like Schram who looked fine for being overweight but VK deserves more time?! I can't.  I'm so frustrated.  Between this nonsense and my girl Kash hurting herself I have so little desire to watch this week.  And watch, Amazon will have the episode up in record time for once LOL 

I hope they go more into the girls with attitude issues.  Madeline was definitely not the one I heard about.  Interesting.

Well if I were a TCC this year with all that is happening, I would have an attitude as well.  Especially if I had been cut in a previous year for the same stuff VK is getting by with.

You can see a bunch of the vets run up to comfort Dayton and are in the elevator with her. Any insight to whether that happened with Victoria’s cut?

I'm gonna say only because they know the cameras are on them and if they don't it'll make them look bad to Kelli 

[tigercubbie]

That scene with Dayton being cut was just heartbreaking. Kelli saying that she didn't want want Dayton "Just because " was extremely hypocritical! Good for Dayton for wanting to make it on her own merits & not because of her Mom. As much as I would love to see her make the DCC one day, I much rather see her make it on a much bigger stage in the dance world!

I will put Kelli and Charlotte in the same league. They both should feel bad for what they did. I would not be surprised if Victoria was given hints about her weight, but she ignored the hints. She probably started pulling her it might be my thyroid acting up. Not saying thyroid disorders or the medication(s) to treat a thyroid disorder may cause weight gain, but her actions speak louder than words. If it was a thyroid condition, Judy, Kelli and Charlotte probably would have been willing to work with her.

No and that's what is killing me. I really wish Judy opens her mouth this episode. She is a fountain of wisdom that the two K's need right now. I wonder what Nick thought of that cut.

I can't imagine how Madeline is gonna feel after seeing this episode. I'd be fuming. 

[Jennv]

I can't believe they kept VK longer after seeing how bad she looks in that clip. Anyone with any common sense at all would know that she is not going to be able to lose that much weight and keep it off without either starving or using Adderal. Hell maybe they don't care if she uses Adderal, as long as it works. 

[soapmaniac22]

I wonder if Madeline is like how Ashley Pro was. How people thought she was standoffish, when she really was just shy. Even in her talking heads, I thought Ashley came off so sweet, but then she had all those bad recs but everybody on the team loved her. 

[Loves2Dance]

To be a fly on the wall when Kelli found out Dayton got tapped to dance for Royal Caribbean. I got lambasted for even suggesting RC was a better gig than the DCC over on good old Facebook, but I don't think people realize how many industry professionals and people with means cruise. 

If dance is your passion and what you want to do in life, DCC is no where I'd be going. 

[soapmaniac22]

Kitty has a tendency to be really hard on someone for their entire tenure in TC or as a DCC if she disliked them previously. I remember she didn't like Brittney Schram much in season 5 and then called her out on her weight in season 8 when you could still see her hip bones and rib cage. So perhaps, she dislikes Madeline for some reason

[rose711]

Do you guys remember when they pulled 4 veterans from cameos due to weight? Kelli said “some of y’all have gained 8 pounds since your audition weight.”

Honestly, Im going to skip tonight’s episode and watch it later this week. There seems to be nothing I like in it.

VK looked just as heavy as Selina did, if not heavier.

There could be something about Madeline going on behind the scenes we have no clue about. They always try to portray the TC Candidates and veterans as perfect little angels who get along 24/7, but I bet there that is not always true.

If I was Selina, I would be pissed off they took Victoria over her into TC. Yes, Selina had chances to tone up after being called into the office last year, but at least she a decent DCC who was like by the fans and her fellow veterans.

Not sure I’ll watch the show after this season. It was always a fun summer escape to watch young, pretty girls dance around and try to make a team they really care about. I always thought Kelli and the other grown ups were a bit fake and self-serving (I watched in spite of them not because of them). But the show just isn’t fun anymore. And the DCC blatant hypocrisy and BS about VK and nepotism have taken out all the fun. We’ve had “problem child’s” before, but this is consuming the franchise to the point it’s no longer fun to watch.

I actually have fun watching the old seasons. Something has changed in the last two years or so. More corporate, fewer rookie girls we get to know, I’m not sure what.

It isn’t as fun for me. 

They could have had a great show with victoria in the background more, showing more rookies, and even more, the girl in training camp the third time who we’ve not heard a word from at all in training camp.

It’s not just social media. Anyone who’s watched the show at all knows all about the weight issues. If nothing else, that favoritism is clear to anyone who’s watched,  or even who saw the beautiful Selena cut from the team this season.

I was gonna say this. A light and fluffy show about making a team I'd never be interested in being on was a fun summer show. This isn't a fun summer show anymore. The drama from last season couldn't be avoided and I think it's tainted this season---sure the hypocrisy and favorites have always been a thing, but now it feels overdone for the sake of ratings. If I were a Jones I'd be concerned, while I may have been neutral about the Dallas Cowboys before, this show is making me hate the organization. 

[nittanyvolleyball]

I get Selina's cut since she had 2 years on the squad and was heavy for both of them without any change that I as a viewer saw...but then there's some other vets who were clearly just as heavy and they weren't cut because they were favorites. It isn't fair, it's a double standard and if I was on the squad I'd get tired of those real quick.

For the first time, in probably the history of watching this show, I actually said the word unfair in my head as I watched her cut. Malena, Kristen, Victoria are the top 3 who should have gone home first. And maybe it wasn't Dayton's year, but I haven't seen enough evidence yet that it needed to be her time yet.

If Kelli wanted to keep the integrity of the team together then she needed to stop being a blind idiot with VK way sooner than she did. 

I'm a newbie - just started watching last season.  Kelli's fascination with Brianna - showed me she does not evaluate fairly. (Also the level of skill of some of the training camp candidates proved that they are NOT looking for "world class" dancers.)

 

Quote

I wanted Judy to say something so badly, you could see it on her face that she wanted to say something. 

Well, since there was so much controversy with her daughter - I can see why she wouldn't.

Quote

The next cut is someone who truly struggled with all the dance.  Not accepting help, dance difficulty & having one's heart just not into it.

I know there is a lot of Dayton love on this board - but I can see this.  There is a clip of Dayton reviewing choreo with her mom, getting corrections. There is no excuse for not nailing every single combination after it has been initially taught.  I don't doubt she was treated unfairly - but that doesn't make up for the lapses in picking up and retaining choreo, basic skill, etc.  Even Malena who has admitted her shortcomings, has been praised here and there.  If you want something bad enough - there is a way. I don't believe Dayton is fake like VK, I don't think she felt entitled.  What comes across is just not being 100% vested.  If you truly love dance, you take every experience as a learning one - her new gig will bring that. I wish her luck.

I do not think Charlotte or Jerry Jones care because they use this show to promote The Star, and the Cowboys and DCC Organizations. To me the quality of the show and squad went downhill after the mass veteran exit after Season 5. More inside information has been coming out especially the last few years, and it is not pretty. And to me, the show has went off the rails since Season 8. I am not saying Victoria is a bad person, but the way she has been shown on the show and the fawning over her makes me sick. I also do not care for the fact she may have used a possible thyroid disorder for the reason for her weight gain and did not want to work with Jinelle, the nutritionist and the Cowboys doctor because *gasp* her little white lie may come out, and if another girl pulled the same crap, she would have been cut.

[SmpIsimon]

You all are forgetting the worst part. Victoria would likely have made the team even with the weight had it not been for her horrible lie. 

[Jennv]

Malena should have been the first to go. Again, common sense should tell Kelli that someone who was benched for an entire season because she couldn't remember choreography is not going to be able to remember DCC choreography either. Kelli seems to have left her brain at home this year.

[soapmaniac22]

This cut will just make VK's inevitable one even more satisfying tbh. I'm ready to watch with popcorn because talk about UNFAIR. If Kitty says she's been in the program for 10 years and give her more time, well, shouldn't Dayton be allowed the same timing?

I think ever since Elizabeth Reuter said she would have rather been cut earlier for weight, Judy has less patience for weight gain and everything so you can tell she's ready to cut her losses and wasn't a fan of this weeks cut and keeping VK.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Exactly right.   Malena should have been the first cut, and before she resigned her job at SMU.  It made me so angry that she sat there, told them she never danced for the Jets, and can't remember choreography, and they didn't tell her goodbye, and not to quit her full time job.    Especially since she told Kelli and Judy that she was on the Jets cheer team but didn't disclose that she just walked around in a uniform, and  never performed for the Jets, because she couldn't perform.

It isn’t as fun for me. 

Reality shows like The Bachelor or Big Brother create dramas for the participants to react to.  It's more like a game show with players.

MTT is a reality show featuring real women trying out for a real team.  There is already enough "natural" drama with that, no need to create it.  However, in trying to keep the show fresh, K&C have done that and it means playing with feelings and lives.

Kelli should create some form of Ambassador Group for Malena to be on since that is what Kelli sees. They could do meet n greets, give speeches, do visits...etc. without the performing.

This cut will just make VK's inevitable one even more satisfying tbh. I'm ready to watch with popcorn because talk about UNFAIR. If Kitty says she's been in the program for 10 years and give her more time, well, shouldn't Dayton be allowed the same timing?

I think ever since Elizabeth Reuter said she would have rather been cut earlier for weight, Judy has less patience for weight gain and everything so you can tell she's ready to cut her losses and wasn't a fan of this weeks cut and keeping VK.

I don't think Judy has been Team Victoria from the beginning. And I agree, though if they don't show the full VK cut story, I may sharpen a pitchfork or two.
