Anybody else bothered that they had a "Football 101" class and they didn't even bother to follow through with it?   

They never intended to actually do any "football 101" training. It was just an excuse to get the girls there for the calendar reveal without telling them that was what they were really there for.  Kelli tries to pull off these big "surprises" (especially with the final team announcement) & they usually fall flat with the girls being clueless until Kelli gives up & just flat out says what is really going on.

prance, dahlin', she pranced.  ;) might have started nicknaming her Prancer in my head because damn that girl can sell it

[CrazyInAlabama]

My guess is the shenanigans with the episode summaries being switched was so CMT can guarantee more viewers next week.  They said calendar reveal was for next week, and it was this week, and Cameos were announced as this week, and they're next week.    I think the producers realized that the longer the cuts take to happen, the more viewers, so they gaslighted all of us.   This may be the last year for me to watch this, because I want to watch a show about tryouts, training camp, and a team forming, not a bunch of drawn out, soap opera stories focusing on some, and ignoring strong performers who will be an asset to the team, and have personal stories that are interesting.

What a shame about Taylor T.  Kelli and Judy initially liked her for her dancing until the #Metoo comment.  I honestly cannot believe she does not have a TV.  Who doesn't have a tv in their home nowadays?  Thats really surprising.  But anyway, I hope she can redeem herself in next years panel interviews, because I am sure they will be watching her closely, or I do not see her coming back to TC.

When I was her age I had a TV, but couldn't afford cable so I couldn't watch TV. I could watch DVD's .

Someday, someone is going to show up for training camp knowing the entrance, Thunderstruck, Loud, and other routines that they learned off of YouTube. And K&J will announce that they are starting fresh with new routines.  And that someone will be all “those ??? Previously TV people!!!  Last time I take their advice!!!!”

Right? I cannot imagine trying out for my dream job and not doing my homework. Learn as much as you can, and then you can focus on getting anything new. and I would be in Brennan's back yard practicing entrance. I also would have been at the games with a video camera.

I think Tina lost a lot of weight in a hurry, and that leads to the drawn, much older look she has now.   I'm pretty sure that last year with the alumni session at the dance studio, Tina weighed more.

She's a crash dieter, and I'd bet money, she told her daughter to ignore Jinelle's advice and instead offered her own unhealthy advice.  Regardless of what happened, she does look more like Victoria's grandmother than mother.

I was thinking the exact same thing! Judy Trammel was a G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S DCC! I also think that she has aged very well. I know that everyone has differing opinions on here, which makes this a great board, but I personally think that Judy is a lovely person inside-and-out.

I have my issues with Judy (her silence this year) but I think this picture is what you would see if you could look up the phrase "America Sweetheart."

Like saying she might have a possible thyroid condition or another medical condition leading to the weight gain. I bet Tina had a hand in the whole thing.

If it's true that Kelli came down on her at auditions, I can see why she has remained quiet - if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.  It's another reason why I think VK was promised a spot on the squad.  Kelli had a plan and Judy wasn't going along with it.

[sleepyjean]

So weird they had to emphasize that they are *biological* sisters. Are they afraid people will think they are "DCC sisters?" Adopted sisters? Sorority sisters?

This expression was exactly what came to my mind with Judy's silence, especially the night that Kitty Carter was ranting about giving Victoria the "respect" of more time. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

I'm betting CMT shenanigans for the episode descriptions not matching, and the cameo shoot in next week's show getting bumped, instead of this week.     I bet the office visit was really this week, and the calendar reveal and cameos, were also this week, but put into next week with the other field practice because that way we all watch again.       I bet a lot of people will stop watching this after VK gets the boot, because we've all been waiting for it for 11 weeks now.  

I think the cameo makeup, and game day makeup are extra layers, and brighter colors to show on TV.    I'm also guessing that VK either has a lot of extensions, or has tons of product in her hair to make it that full, and I'm sure her real hair is a lot less body, and length.

Personally, I think Kelly needs to retire RIGHT NOW. Watching this weeks episode I found painful - well the Victoria scenes especially - I know Shelly and a few pointed out that Victoria is confident etc, but in the office scenes, (is it me) but I keep seeing VK interrupt  whatever Kelly and Judy is saying to her, and all I can think is er don't interupt Victoria let them finish the sentence or whatever they are saying. Clearly to me VK and Malena got way more favoritism than Cassie and those two are making her look bloody good. (And I don't remember Cassie having that much "problems" as VK as in weight gain, lies etc? The only bad thing I remember of Cassie was when Judy was giving Taylor corrections and Judy MADE Cassie tell Taylor (in front of EVERYONE) what her (Cassie) problem with Taylor was (and Cassie even questioned Judy with "really? In front of everyone?" and everyone blamed Cassie for being the bad girl there when Judy had her say something infront of everyone). Nothing agains Malena and VK but gees I cant watch this season anymore. I rather Cassie come back and be the "bad girl" again. I also love how Kelly was like "Judy your quiet" comment, literally spat my coke all over my iphone screen, during my break at work.

 

Funny how Kelly gave VK and Malena more chances than Dayton and unless I am seeing things but Malena had way more mistakes than Dayton and seems more liability than Dayton in choreography. I wonder what Malena is like at work. Does she forget things at work? Or is that just mainly Choreography thats she cannot remember at all? And I never understood why Malena was never cut from the Jets. Sometimes it seems, to me that Shelly did not bring Dayton up that DCC will be the "be all END ALL" where as VK (seems to me) was brought up that DCC is the be all and end all!!! 

 

The other reason is the badly edited photos for the calendars. Can't put the 100% blame on the photographers on that, because you can edit etc and a good edit can make a bad photo good, surely. Not make a bad edit worse. Come on Kelly how is DCC "world class" when you are allowing a bad photo edit? Some of the girls just look "ugly" in those edits (I shall not name names), and the girls are not ugly for one thing. Whats that saying? A picture says a thousand words? 

 

Also is it me or isn't it a bit early to do formations? Wasn't formations done later on in the series?

Cassie got into with Olivia S. during the calendar shoot before Season 6 because Cassie was complaining the rookies were getting more time in front of the camera. It lead to Judy telling the judges Olivia was being toxic which of course lead to Olivia being cut. Cassie was not the perfect DCC they were making her out to be. She could be mean when it came to the other girls to the point she made a few of the girls miserable while they were on the team with her. I would not be surprised if she was reporting to Judy about what the other girls were doing. Believe me Cassie did not respect the DCC Organization. I would not be surprise if some of the girls were happy when she finally retired.

Oh yea I forgot about Olivia. Thanks for that reminder. I agree I don't think Cassie was the perfect DCC. I rather Cassie than Victoria actually. Tho I rather Dayton over either of those 2 actually, more classy, comes across more humble, don't seem to talk over others like Victoria,

[bigskygirl]

I definitely take Dayton over Cassie or Victoria. I think it would be great to sit down with Dayton and have a conversation with her over lunch or dinner.

Ya I used to take it all the time...It's pretty much meth in a pill. Without all the lithium and anhydrous lol. It's great for losing weight but it really does start messing with your head and emotions after so long. People think they don't have to sleep or eat a piece of cheese every now and then but it catches up with you. I always wondered if adderall is why Courtney Cook had to leave the squad in  Season 8.

I admit I was not a fan of Courtney when she was on the team, but it breaks my heart she became so sick from trying to keep her weight down and dealing with the stress of being a DCC. She is, in my opinion, better off getting away from it all. Sadly she is not the only former DCC or TC Candidate who became sick from trying to fit in the iconic DCC uniform. Makes me mad when Kelli and Judy say we want the girls to lose weight in a safe manner when they probably know a girl is using a dangerous drug trying to keep the weight off.

Yeah, it's sad. She sort of had one of those over the top obsessive personalities and just got carried away, then in over her head. Got obsessive with working out, got the huge implants, just got way too obsessive. I personally think she has impulse issues, but not knocking anyone's legit mental health situations. She is a good person and deserves respect. Her mom thought Tobie and that crowd would be good to take her under her wing without knowing how wild Tobie was. Courtney escaped and is better off now for it.

Makes me wonder what happened with Kaitlyn from Season 8 and the real reason why she did not cheer or go on appearances after October in her rookie year. Did she end up doing something dangerous to keep the weight off, and it lead to her having some serious health issues also. Funny how they kept her profile up, and her DCC twitter account running even when she was not officially doing any squad performances or activities. Hmmm...
