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.

Even if a number had not been mentioned, you can still see the weight gain on VK.  Either way, we know she is cut.  Now we have to see how she does during this next year, and see if she is able to get in shape for auditions.  I hope she is able to figure out why she gained the weight in the first place, or it will be a vicious cycle of dieting.  Did she think that cause she was getting more cardio, she could eat more?  Was she stressed out - we've heard the rumor that she was guaranteed a spot, and if that wasn't true, then maybe she was worried about mom's reaction?  I don't want to see her develop an eating disorder.  I want to see a healthy, smarter VK try out and if she doesn't want to, then I hope she finds what makes her happy.

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 snow aired and we saw her dance.

Some women are naturally thin and tiny, but still very healthy, and struggle to keep on weight.  And a squad of bad dancers who made the team only because of how they looked would be boring.  Jinelle didn't look like at a DCC at first glance and now look at her.  Most of the ones that don't "look like a DCC" just need to be given a chance.

I agree. At least she doesn't look like a cookie cutter DCC. That's boring. I can't tell most of these girls apart. Yay for being unique!

I fully believe that all this bullshit of "OMG, how are we going to cut anymore girls?  They're all so good!!" is aimed 100% at the Kalina family to make them feel less pissed off about Victoria's cut (which, let's be honest, should have happened a LONG time ago).  By doing it this way, they're trying to camouflage the fact that Victoria was a freaking disaster and instead present it as "well, everyone was amazing, but somebody unfortunately had to go."

I agree. Victoria should have been cut after media training and ignoring Jinelle. 

I’m curious about her cut because she obviously has issues in just about every area we’ve seen. I wonder if it will just be weight or will also address maturity, treating DCC as a job, respecting her bosses, being a good teammate, speaking well in interviews, and dancing in control.

I think Victoria will not be able to get it together.  She may make the team next year, I don’t think she will be able to control and maintain her weight. I’m not even sure she takes these issues seriously. I don’t expect a dramatic improvement because she’s shown little over all these weeks.

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.

My thought is that Kelli kept VK as long as she did to give her an opportunity to do the cameo shoot. She has dreamt of being a DCC her whole life, and maybe Kelli knew she was going to have to cut her, so she let her at least have that moment. Just a thought.

Well I tried to use the picture and look for big blonde hair that looked like Tina’s to see if she was in it, but then that became futile cause there are at least 8 ladies w/ “Tina hair” in the Alumni tops.

Is there any significance to the number on the jersey? Is it their rookie year, or last year, or just a random number?

Rookie year

In the alumni pictures, considering the rumors about Tina being mad at Kelli, I bet that if that's Kelli and Judy on the right, then Tina's one of the blondes on the far left.

They want the DCC to all dress much older than their age yet here is Charlotte in a mini skirt.  Wonder is it would be allowed for the girls to wear a mini skirt?  The girls all seem to have to dress a certain way.

[PollyHowell]

Anyone else watching the Cowboys game right now? I always like getting peeks of the girls during actual games, though I wish they showed halftime/entrance footage. There was a closeup of Bridget after their first touchdown and she looked so radiant and beautiful! It was also very easy to spot Cianna during zoomed-out pans of sideline routines...I LOVE her hair.

[heckkitty]

Entrance, thunder, kickline, & some sideline stuff is on their social media.

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 :(.

Yes, I love Lacey, and I've never really saw the "plastic" label that has been put on her before (I think her nose job was fabulous and money well spent), but this pic...something is off. If she is still messing with her face, she needs to stop.

i dont actually mind the dress. its a style I'd wear happily, if not colour (and its a bit hyperbolic that it's a prom dress, pplease what 18 year old would wear that to prom??).  I know its a youthful, summer colour, but it's far too pink(or in the bastardised words of the great M'Lynn 'that girl looks like she was hosed down in pepto bismol), but it is very DCC-esque in my mind. if it'd been blue, I doubt they'd have had much issue with it

worlds most uncomfortable pose - you've really gotta contort to get your ass and back to get that perfect angle. I think any beauty I used to see in the swimsuit calendar has been smooshed for me after hearing the leacherous photographer.

Not a fan of VK, but I didn't think her dress was bad -- in fact, I didn't think it was much different in kind to what the other girls were wearing.

Agreed with both posts. I didn't personally love the color, but it seemed very DCC-ish to me. Furthermore, hot pink was/is a huge color in 2018. Her dress was more of a bubblegum pink, but still, I would be surprised if that dress would inspire negative gossip or stand out all, to be honest.  VK has tons of problems, and that dress was the least of them.

Here's basically all my thoughts on training camp. This board moves so fast I can hardly keep up!

Amber/ Bridget- I don't think I'll ever be able to tell them apart. One or both are in show group, one "messed up" during media training (I had no idea what Brenda was talking about either), one came back from California, and one was called out by Marty. 

Bridget has a more "girl next door" look and always looks like she's having the time of her life. Amber has a more mature look. That's the only way I can tell them apart. It took me forever to realize that they were different girls.

Out of Maddie, Kashara, and Cianna, only Cianna impressed me based on the clips that we were shown. I thought the choreo was good for showing musicality, but I wasn't a big fan. In general, while I like Maddie, I just can't get on the "Maddie is a superstar dancer" train.  She's certainly good, but she's never the person who immediately grabs my attention while dancing. 

I'm so over K&J pretending like its so hard to cut girls. Kristen, Malena, and VK could've easily all been cut weeks ago. I like Malena and Kristen, but they, along with VK, are clearly weak links. The viewers have eyes, and we are not stupid. Those 3 cuts are easy. I can understand the apprehension after those 3, but give me a break with the "we don't know what to do" bs.

Kashara was game day girl

I honestly don’t care what women decide to wear regardless of age and circumstance. However, Charlotte looks TERRIBLE. I don’t understand why women feel the need to do this crap to their bodies to fit a societal ideal.  In the battle of the aging process, age always win. Save your money.

Charlotte has made some...er...questionable fashion choices over the years. I think it was Season Three or Four that she wore this odd ruffled gray mini skirt with a blue Oxford shirt that screamed 80s. Then two years ago she wore some Forever 21esque pink striped skirt/blouse ensemble that blew my mind.

Classically cut pantsuits seem to flatter her frame more but I think she considers them too old style-wise.  

Except for the powder blue over the knee boots, Kelli has made some better fashion choices this season, I think.

Charlotte dresses like she’s 22 years old sometimes.   It looks foolish.  I mean a black leather (or pleather, not sure) mini skirt at 60?  Just no...leather mini skirts are for very, very young women only.

I’m not saying she has to wear matronly grandma dresses by any means, but there are ways to still be age appropriate and still look sexy/attractive regarless of age.    I think w/ very few exceptions, K&J have both mastered age appropriate attractive dress.  The one exception I can think of was those over the knee boots Kelly wore earlier this season - those were bad :(.

She really does. I always wonder if I'm trying to dress "too young" for 36. I get black leggings (i have 12 identical pairs lol) with solid colored fitted shirts from the juniors department. I've tried shopping in the "ladies" department but man it's just not my style. And I'm going from two tone hair (platinum and black) back to all blond because I feel too old to rock it. But then I see 55 year olds with rainbow hair and mini skirts so who knows these days.

Kelli and Judy dress well for their age I hope to have their style sense when I get older.

I don't really know if this goes here or not, but couldn't figure out where else to put it.

So, I was visiting family in Arlington, TX this week and I saw that Tess and Hannah were going to be at a grocery store right by where I was. So, I went and met them. Let me just say, Tess is stunning. Hannah is too for that matter. They were both so nice and friendly. I actually got to talk to them for quite a bit. They were super nice to my 2 great nieces ( 11 and 13 year olds). I got a team photo and took a pic of them. I'm going to attempt to attach them to this post. 

I was so excited to see that they were going to be so close to where I was. I was visiting from Chicago.

Hes a bad boy. Totally my type. Conor wishes he had John Cenas height and muscles?

I was at the game today.  I was in a private suite on the third (I think) level so I couldn't see up close and did use the Jumbotron, but I thought everyone looked amazing and performed beautifully (especially Christina, Erin and Brennan).  I brought a group of journalists from out-of-town and they were all very impressed.   It is unbelievable how hard these women work and what they do on gamedays, not to mention all the prep.

Her legs are so skinny those boots look huge on her. And her face looks so different. I try not to be an asshole on these boards, but y’all know Charlotte is NOT my fave. Mad respect for what she’s accomplished professionally, but don’t care for her!

Charlotte is just like most rich ladies her age.  Trying desperately to stay young so their husband won’t stray to a much younger woman.  I bet she’s a bitch to deal with because she’s hangry all the time.

I agree with this 100%, but I am also 100% angry about that because once again Kelli is doing things for her that she has been unwilling to do for any other TCC in the previous 12 years! So many women through the years were trashed by Kelli, and here she is giving this twit every opportunity to make this team, and that twit is throwing it in EVERYONES face!

I’m a bit of a cynic, but I think Kelli was hoping that enough other girls would start struggling as training camp wore on and would then take the focus off of VK. She could then cut them and spin a story about VK improving just in time (doesn’t matter if it was true or not). Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective), that didn’t happen, and VK is and was the one with the most obvious problems of the group the whole time. 

Its just kind of funny because usually people in decision-making positions, who are dealing with friends’ kids or relatives, would kill for a solid, objective reason to cut them. Here, with her obvious weight gain, VK handed Kelli an easy, objective, non-controversial reason to cut her early on, and Kelli just refused to take it until the end.
