Finals, Training Camp and Social Media

Emma Jones, who was a finalist two years ago, and then went on to join the Dallas Stars Ice Girls is now an Oklahoma City Thunder Girl. I think she's the one whose mom posted on here about people saying Emma did not have the DCC look. She also was mistaken for Cristi Fisher quite a bit.

When was she in the car accident?  Was it before she became a DCC?  Maybe she had injuries that prevented her from working out like she should, cause someone said she had gained weight and was pulled.

She also reminds me of Lainey from The Goldbergs.

It was during training camp or early on when the season began.

She hurt her neck, right?  She would almost be in the same boat as Erica just aggravating the injury every time she danced.

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.

college students. they can watch via their computers.

Dang, is that Victoria's rib sticking out in that shot? It looks weird because, while not fat (normal world, not DCC world), she doesn't look thin enough to have ribs sticking out. It just looks strange to me.

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.  
 

I remember that season and her panel interview. She was talking so fast that I was sure she was on something. Poor girl. I'm glad she got out. Your health is more important.

All to have the honor and privilege to be a DCC. Is it worth ruining your health and mental well being over.

It’s sad because their weight standards seem even stricter now. I know it’s the HD screen or whatever—maybe the show too, since the camera adds weight—but I swear in the early seasons the women were more ‘normal’ thin. Still very fit, and they certainly still had to maintain their weight (I remember Brooke S. being warned), but not  crazy fit like they are now. Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like the women get smaller and smaller—with a few notable exceptions, of course. ?

So true. When I went to see a game at the stadium in 2011, Kelsi Reich, Meredith Oden and one other girl who I can’t remember looked big on the screen. The person I was with made a comment he was surprised they weren’t more toned. I couldn’t argue with him because of how they looked on that giant screen.

If what someone stated up thread about TK no longer speaking to Kelly after VKs cut is true, then I think it's 'good frickin riddance.'  I understand being upset when your kid is hurt, but TK should NEVER have imposed this problem on her supposed close friend Kelly.  TK isn't blind, she could see that her daughter wasn't ready for the squad and didn't measure up.  Yet she still put her so called great friend in a terrible position, both professionally and personally. 

It's worse than if a friend puts her neck out at her work to get you a job, and then you act a goof and destroy her professional reputation with her boss and coworkers.  Not good.  TK is a 'friend' I'd never want.

This right here is what takes "world class" out of their promos. With Victoria and Kelli and Kitty's total disregard of the standards the other women have had to follow, puts that team about 3 levels below any other team in the NFL! Her media day was ridiculous, her size is shocking, and her dancing is not that great. Kelli is now on the same level as any other director. Too bad, they USED to be awesome.

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. 

Dang, I missed out. Neither Adderall nor thyroid meds did anything for my weight, but maybe that was because I actually needed them. On the other hand, caffeine does nothing for me and all those narcotic/opioid pain meds people love & get addicted to (oxycodone, morphine, etc) do nothing for me either (including taking away/dulling pain), so maybe I just have a weird body that doesn't react to those things. ?

She also was looking down at the table top instead of those on the panel  Judy even called her out on it. She wasn't cut and left TC so I guess you could say she quit or resigned.

Someone said she was benched for her weight in late October or early November. I think she was trying to use drugs to lose weight and something bad happened. I hope she has moved on from all of it and she is healthy and enjoying life away from DCC Land.

The specialist I see for my hypothyroidism told me taking the one thyroid hormone replacement for weight loss is dangerous because it could lead to undiagnosed and untreated hyperthyroidism. It can cause heart and other serious medical conditions. He told he lost at least three or four patients because they were self-medicating themselves with the one thyroid medication. Yikes! A girl may keep her weight down, but she could some serious damage to her organs. Look what was going on with poor Courtney.

Why someone VK is best friends with had ANY say in whether she stayed or went home is the bigger question in my mind.  This show has really jumped the shark.

Hmm. I have a weird body, too. I'm a steroid non reactor. My body would take 240mg of steroids a day and never get better when I had asthma attacks. It ruined my adrenal glands and now I have Addison's disease. I have to take a specific steroid that isn't a prednisone based.

my body metabolizes medicine really fast. Not food, though unfortunately. I have to take more medicine to get any effect at all. So, painkillers don't work for me either. Lucky us.

I have to say I am agreement with many of you.  I find it so irritating that K couldn't bring herself to be as nasty as she is with other girls with VK.  I am completely put off and so disappointed.  Other TCC's have been cut for things like bad interview, bad and compromising social media pictures, bad memory, attitude, and lest we not forget weight gain!  This season by far has been the most hypocritical, two faced, wishy washy, and thoroughly disappointing in all the 13 seasons IMO.

Victoria handed Kelli the best, most objective, reason to cut her in not only coming to auditions heavy, but gaining at least 11 pounds during Training Camp.  Anyone else wouldn't have made it to Finals, much less, Training Camp with that weight, then to gain?  Most girls would have been cut LONG since.  She's also given Kelli SO many other reasons to cut her (attitude, appearance, lying, etc.), especially when Kelli has cut other girls for exactly those reasons and Kelli not only didn't have the guts to do so, but let Victoria slide on so many things that Kelli deserves every BIT of bad press and bad mouthing she gets.  In a way, I hope she's feeling pressure from her bosses regarding all the negativity she brought on regarding Victoria because she deserves it.  Should she lose her job?  Maybe (not likely, but maybe), but there isn't anyone ready to step into her spot.  Maybe Kelli didn't want to train anyone up because she didn't want to feel replaceable (though she's certainly made the girls feel that way more often than not).  I'm also hoping that, should they choose to replace Kelli, the Cowboys organization finds someone who not only respects the tradition, but brings the squad into the now and has enough backbone to stand up to the Jones' for the DCC.

On 10/5/2018 at 9:14 AM, bigskygirl said:

I am also more concerned over the fact they ripped into Taylor last night for not knowing about #metoo but they meaning Kelli, Charlotte and Miss Kitty think it is alright to let Victoria pull her crap more than once because Kelli is a good friend with her mother. To me it is a slap in a face to all women when a few women make excuses for one of their own and rake other girls over the coals for doing the same blasted thing aka lying and blaming others for their poor judgment and actions. All the money in the world would not fix the favoritism and double standards in DCC Land. I am more concern for the mental and physical health of the girls instead of oh no we are not getting the big bucks our mascot gets. More pay will not fix the problems until Kelli and Charlotte realize the harm they are doing to the girls.

Taylor getting cut for one mistake, bad as it is, is just another obvious case of Victoria getting all SORTS of favoritism and nepotism when Victoria has made mistakes that could be considered equally as bad.  If I recall correctly, didn't they say that they would be hesitant to send Victoria out on appearances or did they say they couldn't send her out at all because they were afraid of what she might say?  That's as bad, or worse, then what Taylor did and they kept Victoria over Taylor when it should have been the other way around.  Victoria's proven that she's too much of a loose cannon to be sent out while Taylor could be taught.  

On 10/5/2018 at 10:04 AM, Tdoc72 said:

Also Kelli told VK in the office that she was concerned about her communication and honesty. Definitely more happened than what we were shown. 

Kelli asked VK if she was utilizing all the resources they had and VK said yes. So that was one. If the doctor appt that never happened was true (as rumored on this board and I believe that), then that was another lie. 

These lies should have had Victoria cut the moment Kelli found out about them, but she gets to stay?  Ridiculous.  Victoria might be the sweetest, nicest girl on the planet, but she's also been been shown to be extremely immature, far too casual about her relationship with Kelli, doesn't seem to have a filter or anything else that says she's ready to be a DCC, either right now or in the immediate future.  Someone should have sat her down and told her this a LONG time ago and if they did, she obviously didn't listen.  

On 10/5/2018 at 10:55 AM, Erinbridget said:

During VK's meeting when she said the worst thing that could happen is that she goes home, then Kelli said "I'm prepared for that, and you should be too", you can literally see in VK's face that was the moment she was like fuck, I guess I'm not guaranteed a spot. 

If she was, she shouldn't have been and if she read more into what someone was saying then was actually intended, then that's all on her.  Still, given what we've been seeing this season, I'm leaning towards she was guaranteed a spot and thought she not only could do what she wanted and not be called on the carpet for it, but also not get cut for doing whatever she wanted.  At least, now she realizes that she just MIGHT have screwed up and have to face the consequences for her actions.

Her whole face dropped when Kelli said this to her.   Smile and attitude were gone with a quickness.  I also wonder when VK is watching the show each week if she realizes how silly she looks.  I hope she’s uses this to come back with a better attitude and more maturity.

I think she now realizes that actions have consequences, or at least these do.  Hopefully, she doesn't place the blame for her mistakes elsewhere and actually takes responsibility for them.

On 10/5/2018 at 3:27 PM, Tdoc72 said:

That was before the office meeting. During that, she tells VK she’s concerned w/her communication and honesty. So I’m guessing she found the dishonest one—although they didn’t show it. 

I could tell that Kelli believed both girls and REALLY wanted to pin the blame on someone other than Victoria, but knew Jinelle too well (plus Jinelle probably had proof to back her up) to even consider putting the blame on her.  It really put her in a bind.

ooooh lord tell me about it. because of my accident I'm on a ton of pain meds and stuff like morphine does nothing. Docs didn't believe me after my surgeries that the morphine didn't help, they kept saying 'oh you've had major surgery, if the pain relief wasn't working, you'd know' and I'm sitting there going 'THATS HOW I KNOW' and then my vein collapsed, took 7 hours to get a new canula in and then they realised, huh she's in no more pain. so i have to recover from surgery without pain meds, but the stuff Im on on a daily basis, I'm on the highest legal daily dosage of, and its nasty stuff because its the only thing that touches it because my body either laughs in the face of pain medication (or meds in general) or it metabolises it really fast. I adapt to new meds in a few days and essentially shake them off. Im an anaethetists worst nightmare (also mine because i fear waking in surgery like there's no tomorrow). the stuff Im on will cause me to go into renal failure because of the dosage and it's very nature, so I have to have that checked weekly, its putting a huge strain on my heart and Im still in pain it's just dulled enough to allow me to somewhat function.

Yet my sister, she can take half a night nurse tablet (so a quarter of rec. dosage) and she'll pass out for 12 hours.

I think with a lot of meds, if you're taking them as prescribed you just get the effects its designed for (and whatever side efffects your particular body chemistry throws up) but its when you abuse them tht issues start, or their 'off label' effects come into play. Like if you take adderall as prescribed, for the most part its all good, but when you start taking too much, too often, that's when other stuff comes into play. 

My own meds are soo damaging to my body, i cannot fathom taking something incorrectly deliberately just to get a short term effect to stay on a dance squad or the like, but then I cannot comprehend recreational drugs at all - deliberately taking something that yoou know is going to F up your body chemistry, that you've bought from a stranger, that you've no idea what its been cut with, just to party??  Do. Not. Understand

VK is still not taking this seriously. It is all about her. When her name was called for the office visit, she walked away from everyone, while the other girls were hugging Taylor. That's telling.

I noticed that she walked away, too. I'm sure she was thinking I'm sick of being called into the office and was probably really worried about her fate, but to walk away from all your teammates like that when they are trying to show you support. Big eyeroll from me.

The MDC uniform is as pretty as it is skimpy. Then again, it is always 900 degrees in FL to begin with, so the less clothing the better.
