All of my complaints still stand. 

And I'm gonna add one, Christina and Jayln should be swapped. Christina is more in line with Alanna's height and Jaylyn lights up more with Bridget. 

It's far from OCD perfect...I don't like this year at all. 

Poor Cianna has the arm of slenderman. Or conjoined with Jalyn. Jalyn is standing full on to the camera while her counterpart Brennan is standing at an angle. Jalyn should also be at an angle to take away the never ending arm look they have going on. 

And Amber has the same "I'm wearing a blue dress with a cut out" look that Caroline has going on. 

At least all of them look better than in those horrible cameo photos.

Here's the squad photo that someone posted in the Facebook group I'm in (Hi Tracy if you are in here!! Thanks for sharing!!)  It's not tilted and the girls are easier to pick out. 

Pretty picture from the right angle!  My only boo is that Lacey should be front and center.  She's been on the team forever and is the epitome of a DCC.

Nice picture - a lot of problems, very unexpected from Kelli though. I expected better.

Quick question slightly off topic. But what does Lacey do outside of DCC? Like I know some are teachers, fitness instructors, and etc but I have no idea what Lacey does. She has been on the team since she was 18 but I haven't heard if she went to college or any of her future plans.

Lacey works as a nanny, dance teacher and part-time student working toward a degree in nutrition. 

Maybe she could have helped Vic.

IMO, I'm not sure that Savannah has veneers. I've had people that I've just met in the last few years ask if my teeth are veneers because of the size and well, thank God, they're at least white and straight.......but then again, as my daughter reminded me, " How can your teeth shift or be crooked? There's not one extra space in that big mouth of your's for those chicklets to budge!!!" lol

Hold your head up Savannah and flash that beautiful, toothy smile!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!  Victoria has put on more than 11 pounds.  Her stomach is hanging over her shorts and that looks more like 20 pounds to me.  More proof that Kelli and Charlotte are blind to Ictoria.  What a shame they will her lie to them  and let her come back to TC next year.

She does NOT look good. VK has the DCC equivalent of Dunlop disease.

I agree 100%! She did not deserve that, and the writer mention weight checks and didn't mention icky, she trashed Taylor T but did not mention that icky had "no words". Are we sure Kelli didn't write that article?

The synopsis of tonight's episode says one women is cut tonight, and the lat 2 episodes are 2 cuts each. So, who gets cut tonight? Tara or maybe Kristin?

Kristen tonight I think

Tara and Vicky next week---they were cut a day apart

Malena and Lily last episode---they were cut together

Poor thing.  Hope this doesn’t hurt her career-wise in a real career.  Shame that trying out for something like a dance team that is supposed to be fun can hurt your reputation like that.  I wonder if Keyra is dealing w/ any professional repercussions for how she was depicted.  

[Thebiglebowski]

I'm not a fan of these final cuts happening on the day the squad is announced or a day before. It was abvious Malena wasnt going to make the squad. She had a good job that she quit because Kelly said she "could" make the Squad. I think that all cuts should be completed at least a week before the squad is announced. If you are on the fence about a candidate to the point where you keep them in camp up until 24hrs before the squad is announced, it either means that she is qualified to make the squad, or it means that Kelly and Judy knew she should be cut but didnt have the cojones to do it and they just strung the poor woman along when they already knew she wasnt ever going to make the squad. I have no idea what Lily is lacking because I dont think they have ever mentioned her name as being deficient in anything and i dont think she has even been called into the office. Cutting Lily on the last night, not really fair, because if she was never given feedback, than she never had the chance to work on anything

I hate the last night cuts but I do not think they show every time someone is called in the office.  CMT only films certain nights.  Shelly B might can answer this.  I remember John Galt saying they spoke to Savannah about her dancing and she dialed it up and made the team.  That's not been shown.  I would bet money there have been talks with a few vets on weight but those were not shown.   We keep hearing WW but there has not been the usual season call in every vet who gained........or maybe they could not do that this year because of Victoria they waited until she gained 11 pounds.  So I hope Lily has been talked to or gotten dance notes prior to her being cut.  At least this year, we do not have the several girls who can dance but cannot kick.

 

Malena.  Beautiful well spoken girl who should have been cut a long long time ago.

Another one with a bunch of part time jobs and an online class or two but her main job is DCC. She babysits, worked some at a cryo place, still taking prereqs for a nutrition degree. 

So that squad photo - I'd switch Amy and Gina with Amy in the front, then Savannah in that spot where Amy is now. We see too much of Christina's leg.  Also my eyes are drawn straight to Tasha, who is a little to our left, and that makes the whole pic look off center in my head. 

I know she's triangle, but I'd swap Maddie and Yuko, too. Yuko looks too tiny for her spot now, and while I don't think she's a great beauty, she's a lot cuter than Maddie. Even Gina has figured out how to position herself to look more presentable but not much can be done for Maddie's weight gain and face.

Savanah looks so darn cute in that video.  She is just so adorable I see why they put up w/ her dancing mistakes.  She has such a perfect figure too - tiny, but still shapely and healthy looking (doesn’t look like she’s starved or malnourished like some of them).

I don’t think VK looks like she’s heavier than she’s been in that video - she actually looks a little smaller than some of the footage from a couple episodes ago - it could just be her shorts are too tight cause they are a size from before the initial weight gain.   Her dancing and smile look good.   Her legs are very long and they look good.

she used to give her the most ridiculous critiques -  crispy bacon anyone?  I loved Kelsey, I was rooting for her so hard. She's gorgeous, a fun perfomer and for someone dancing for such a short time, she was more than good enough.  plus she had a fun personality that came through in her dance,  part of why she waas a compelling performer, above and beyond those gorgeous eyes against that dark hair

Looks like you remembered season 7 Amy as well as I do :)  LaurenBrook actually gave me the link to that Twitter to refresh my memory, but I'm still drawing a blank!

I'm just a wee bit younger than Tina.  The information about sun damage may have been available, but many of us didn't know about it.  I recall my teenage years laying outside hours upon hours in a swimsuit & corn oil.  I'm lucky I don't look like a horse saddle today :)

@KoKo, I'll tell you what I find insulting...this show insisting on including the bad interviews, like the one who thought Michelle Obama was president, or the one who didn't know what FBI stands for.  The sad thing is, I think that they think showing this is a good thing to show that they won't take someone who can't answer these questions into TC, but the truth is, all it does is perpetuate the idea that dancers are stupid bubbleheads.  In reality, some people choke under pressure and say stupid things...I remember doing some last minute studying for a final for one of my tax classes, and I was so damn scared I couldn't remember my phone # (I know that didn't happen to FBI girl, she admitted she didn't know).  Anyway, when they show that women they are portraying as stupid show up, I think there are people out there who think all of the women are like that, and that is simply not true. 

Yep, I am 46 and used to spread Crisco all over me.  In San Antonio, the radio station would say "turn before you burn" every 30 minutes.  My skin is starting to show the signs of abuse :(

Victoria looks much heavier in that video, tummy over hang on the shorts.  You can’t blame the shorts for being to small when those were probably given to her in the beginning of training camp.  It just proves weight gain.  Poor girl, almost feel bad for but her actions cancel that out.  Did anyone notice last week when Judy corrected her in the triangle that she had a sore face.  VK was not pleased with corrections.  

Hopefully tonight we get to meet more rookies.  I feel like there are so many girls we don’t even know about.

There really isn't any way to hide any weight gain.  Either in the practice shorts or the actual uniform.

VK looks terrible! They are hurting her more than helping her. she's a young adult, not the most mature. She's probably under the illusion that this is ok. I don't care for her, but as a person, her cut is going to be brutal to her ego. She's about to learn a huge life lesson. Hopefully she'll learn to be humble,and mature from this. And that article on Taylor T, way below the belt. Yes, she probably should know about #metoo. However, I try to look for the positive in things. Her lack of knowledge tells me no one in her circle of life is talking about their horrible past experiences.

Yes, Taylor T. should have known about #metoo. Cutting her was the right thing to do.  But the tone of that article is just a bit high and mighty to me. I’m sure Taylor’s already beaten herself up about it plenty without that reporter’s thrashing.

 

As for the flag football thing, I rolled my eyes. Brenda presented it with no context whatsoever. It took me a minute to figure out what she was getting at myself. Guess that makes me clueless as well. Threatening to pull the girl from show group over it seemed a bit extreme to me.

Speaking of Kalyssa, did you see the nude photo she posted today? All she's wearing are stilettos. And she posted another in a dress with her legs crossed. She said her legs are really that long and she doesn't do photoshop but her feet have clearly been artificially made longer. They look really weird. And all the men who comment on her pics creep me out.
