She really is an exceptionally pretty girl in many ways... and has probably, unfortunately, believed too much in her own publicity.

She was probably raised to believe she was the prettiest, the best, the most talented, etc and that everything that came out of her mouth was okay.  And I believe that a parent is supposed to raise their child to be confident in their accomplishments and to always try their best,  but not to where it becomes an arrogant, self entitled attitude.

Before the season began, and we were hearing the stories of how she was in prep classes, and then we heard how things were in TC.  And I was thinking there was no way it could be true, and now I'm just WOW!!!  It's definitely made this forum more interesting.  There are times I'm reminding myself that I am criticizing an 18 year old girl, who probably doesn't know any better, and I'm mad at the adults around her for enabling her.  If you look at her Instagram, it's all selfies or pictures with her family or Sam and Dayton, DCC, prep classes, other dance classes.  Where are any other friends, classmates, etc.  She needs to come out of her bubble or auditions next year will be just as bad.

I wish @JohnGalt would come back with some more insights into what is going on as we near the end of the season. I really miss him. He was always respectful, but he could be snarky with the best of us. ???

Lacey looks so plastic and fake in that photo compared to what she looked like when she first made the squad - did she have a second nose job, and what is up w/ her lips?   She was spray tanned so dark at cameos she looked darker than Kahlyn, and she looks like she has like 3 sets of false lashes on her eyes.

I’m all for glam and makeup, but she barely resembles her previous self anymore.  I don’t think it’s a good image for the DCC that these beautiful girls feel they need to change themselves so much.  Lacey was beautiful like she was :(.

Unpopular opinion I agree she looks beyond plastic now.

My friend just watched the episode and texted me “Victoria looks like a much younger version of you.  You’re still more Blair from Facts of Life but you all have that blonde hair and the big brown eyes and the all teeth smile”.  So many ways to be insulted in one compliment I don’t even know where to start.  In other news, I have a friend for sale if anyone needs one... (and also Victoria’s eyes aren’t brown).

STFU Bitch. Lisa Whelchel is still big in Texas esp among Christian moms. If your bitch friend was trying to insult you SHE BLEW IT. Stick some hot sauce on her tongue next time she acts like that. If she's a Blair fan she'll know EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS.

I don't think holding your tongue if you've nothing nice to say to someone makes you 'fake'. Not asking a woman if she's pregnant because she's eaten lunch or gained a few pounds doesn't make you fake, it makes you a human being that has no business asking a woman if she's pregnant unless she appears to be crowning in front of you and needs help.  its one of the most offensive things to ask because it assumes women must be stick thin at all times or they're pregnant. if you don't know that at 18, god help you. if you don't know how to function as a human being that doesn't just blurt out whatever comes to mind, while childishly grabbing and smooshing around your hair like you're 5 years old, when you're 18, your parents and the other adults in your life failed you. its one thing to act like that among friends and being silly, but another on television, in front of bosses, and other administration at your work place. 

if people can't think before they speak at 18, wowzah, they've got a lot of growing up to do. A LOT.

Seriously! She's so over dramatic that I wonder if she has a personality (mental) disorder. And the way her face falls at even the slightest, most carefully stated critique shows she is not used to being criticized, only praised, and she can't handle it. These along with just letting whatever thought pops into her brain fly out of her mouth confirms that she is too i(mmature for any job where she'd be required to speak publicly or have to have a great deal of responsibility. If, when she cuts Victoria, Kelly doesn't give her a stern speech about becoming more mature and controlling her tongue, I'm going to be ticked off. Don't you all wonder what VK and her mother are thinking watching these episodes and seeing her behavior displayed like that for anyone to see on TV? I'd be so ashamed.

I know she has a roll here, but I’m sure similar picks can be taken of others during the guest choreographer session - some had some noticeable rolls coming out of those same shorts.   It also may not be so bad if her shorts fit her better cause she doesn’t look that “large” there.

I don't recall any of the girls they cut or didn't ask into training camp for being "soft" in previous seasons having this much flab hanging over their shorts. It looks her stomach is popping out of the waistband and forcing the shorts downward.

Victoria and Tina will not be ashamed watching these episodes.  V & T will think Victoria is the best TCC at TC since she is getting so much air time.  Neither one of them have any manners and they will not take responsibility for anything that Victoria does wrong.  It will always be the other person fault, not precious Victoria's fault.  I am sure they are saying Victoria's pink bubble gum dress was better than any other girls dress that was there.  They loved her getting the attention for it, doesn't matter that it was negative.  Someone said Tina isn't watching MTT, I don't believe that.  I would bet she is watching.

It's amazing how much better VK looks when you can't see her mouth.

That link to her Instagram sent me down a rabbit hole. I saw a bunch of her DDC prep classes. Boy, she looked so much thinner and younger and had a fresh-faced prettiness. Not sure what went wrong.

Haha. She can add that into her audition solo next year. Banging her head on the table in Kelli’s office, pulling her hair up while pretending she might actually get cut,   maybe she could add ignoring some texts in there.

[tinabee1967]

I watched part of the first episode last night and VK mentioned how conscious she was about keeping her weight down. Meanwhile 11 pounds just magically appears. She was trying to fitness that whole milkshake into her mouth at once and all the boy's ain't coming to the yard because it is 2018 not 2004.

The fit ones don’t have rolls coming out though, even when bent over.  Cianna had rolls and giggling in the GC scene - and she was just bent over a tiny bit.  Also just standing there she had a muffin top.   Gabby was also thick in the middle and it was noticeable in a part where she was standing up straight w/ poms over her head.  She didn’t look heavy at auditions at all, so maybe like VK she also put on weight in camp.

And VK does have one leg bent upward in those screen shots - that will make a roll come out, especially with too tight shorts.  She’s not just standing there straight.

I will respectfully disagree.  Vk is way out of her league weight wise.  She’s at least 20lbs overweight for DCC.  No way in hell Kelli would’ve kept anyone else this large except for Cassie if she had a weight problem.  She’s looks like a sloppy mess.

 Completely agree with you.

The night of the fat cheerleaders Kelli said to the group “some of y’all have gained 8 pounds since you auditioned.” Those were vets with at least one season on the team, it wasn’t a rookie gaining weight in training camp.

Their punishment was none of them got to have cameos, it wouldn’t have mattered  if they did “carry their weight in the middle” like Kelli claims Victoria does, though I see it a lot in her face.

Its really an embarrassment for the team and the process that Kelli has kept Victoria this long. It’s made worse that the weight wasn’t her only issue -Kelli doesn’t trust her in front of a camera (but Taylor got cut), she ignored Jinelle who was asked by Kelli to help her, and, she wasn’t even picked as a good teammate by her group leader, who is one of the most influential girls on the team.

Vic actually looks a lot better in that cake picture than now. She looks like she cakes on the makeup now. She was so fresh faced. The extra make up makes her look around upper 20s

Thoughts about this season besides VK

Erin.......Hello girl.  You are a completely different dancer and it's great to see.  You're rocking training camp.  

Madeline.............I have no clue on the attitude and bet it's exaggerated.  She also came to training camp a better dancer, more mature, etc.

Hannah.........Great dancer.  Looks much older than her years.  Could someone redo her makeup so she looks younger.

Jalyn..........They need to settle on a red that works for her on her hair but cute body, great dancer.

Cianna..........Loving her more each time they show her.  I like the curly hair more and more.

Gabby..........Great dancer.

Malena.........Please cut her.  Pretty but will never have the dances down.

Daphne............Great dancer.  I am glad she made show group.  There was so much grief over her intro story that CMT put together.  Any girl who has been on dance teams that does not make it is devastated.  

Rachel W.  .........Classic beauty.  Hopefully your group leader Kash can up your power on and off the field.  You're no longer a pageant girl so you can be loud and proud and have your own opinion without being obnoxious.

Bridget great dancer and withheld the critique by the guest choreographer well.  She's good.

Amy L. as a group leader.  I loved she spoke up on Malena.  

Kashara......A rock star.  Thanks her for speaking up and being Kash.  Great performer and teammate.

Gina-She's grown as a person.  I truly see point in her future.

Heather--Great dancer and I hope she stays another year and they make her a leader.  We never heard what happened but she seems to take this in stride.

Maddie-one of the best comeback stories ever.  She is an amazing dancer and a good teacher and leader.  I love how she shelters the cut girls from the cameras.

Every week as I watch the episode, I think "this MUST be it.  They are FINALLY building to Victoria getting cut."  But, here we are.

[rose711]

Just for context about Victoria’s weight gain, Selina was 14 pounds heavier than last year and she was cut for weight. Victoria’s gone up at least 11 in a few weeks.

Jalyn's body is to die for!  But the hair.  Oh the hair.  I don't think it's just a color problem.  I think there is a huge cut problem and I am not quite sure I can identify it.  I have horrible, thin hair, but maybe her's is just too thick?  And maybe too many layers?  Like maybe it is a "Roeffler" cut from the 70's?  I would actually love to see that heavy straight hair and big forehead in a Holly P shorter cut with bangs.

So this is my 4th or 5th time guessing how the cuts will go. I havent been right yet...

But, im thinking ep12 Tara and VK get cut, and ep13 Malena and Lily get cut

I mean, it shouldnt be rocket surgery anymore. I think ive got it right this time

People are different heights and builds though.  11 pounds on a girl who is 5’6” w/ a large frame may not be the same as 14 pounds on a 5’1” girl.  You really can not compare just on number of pounds.   

Selina had weight issues in TC coming back for her second season and they let her stay, then she came back still heavy and was cut.  She was given plenty of time.  A whole season with a pass for being heavy in fact.

I don’t think Jaylns body is that great.   She’s almost too thin and tiny that she looks like a little girl.   When it comes to a petite figure, Savanahs is much better cause she looks healthier and womanly.    Jayln is a clean and powerful dancer so I see why they like her, but if they were picking the girls exclusivley based on how they look, I don’t think she would have made camp.   She doesn’t look like a DCC at all and I think many of us on here recognized this before the show aired and we saw her dance.

Victoria looks bigger in her uniform than any girl I’ve seen in 13 seasons of the show. Her face is fatter and her waist rolls over her shorts compared to auditions.

 Kelli weighs them, tracks the weight and uses it as a criteria every season. I’m not the one that picked weight as a reason to evaluate girls, it’s a basic part of their job. Maintaining audition weight has  been in the contract for as long as I can recall, it’s not a surprise this year.

Also, if she’s this bad in training camp, how much is she going to gain over the season? It’s a legitimate question. It’s frustrating to watch Kelli do such a terrible job this year as a leader.
