It was posted earlier that VK was telling everyone the reason she was cut was because she is too popular and had too much air time, I wonder if this will come into play

From what I remember, it was what VK told a girl at The Star gym when asked why she was cut from the team. Not sure how many others she is saying this to. The girl she told knows someone on this board and they posted the story.

Long time lurker here (all of your knowledge of DCC impresses the heck out of me). I have been wanting to comment for awhile that Victoria reminds me of a younger Stassi Schroeder from Vanderpump Rules. No one else may agree with me, but I feel better getting that off my chest. lol

I thought Danielle seemed devastated when Jasmine didn’t make it back that year.  IIRC she was much more upset than Jasmine herself.  Maybe I’m remembering it wrong though - need to rewatch...

I remembered it the same way!  Danielle was sobbing!

[Kate2006]

I really hope VK doesn't look at these boards. She annoys me too but she's just young and immature. Her parents need to let her make mistakes without intervening and that will mature her faster than anything. Seeing some of the comments on here takes a thick skin if they are about the person reading the threads. I think a lot of her FaceTime is CMT edits. There is no way she is the only one that does the face to face interviews in her rookie class. 

 

Charlotte is 52? Ok I thought she was closer to 70. She is way too thin and almost has a frail look about her. I'm 47 and I look WAY younger than her. I still wear mini skirts but not black leather. And I wear them with tights for winter. I just bought a cute brown suede one that I love! I think it just depends on the person. Tina Turner looked killer in miniskirts when she was in her 70's. But Tina Turner is a freak of nature. I would love having her voice, arms, legs, etc. 

I think Kelli has a pet project every year and she hates to cut them. This year it is VK. Last year it was that Brianna girl from NJ. She drove me crazy. She was always crying to the camera and she was more lost than Malena in the dances, yet they kept and her and kept her because she was pretty. Although that said, they didn't keep her as long as VK has been in TC but then again, EVERYONE was telling Kelli to cut Brianna. Even Kitty. I wonder if she will audition again in the future.

I am so hoping that VK develops some maturity this year and returns to her natural hair color which is so becoming on her.  She's a talented dancer and a very beautiful young lady.  I wasn't the wisest person at 18 and 19...

Here’s what I am thinking: since the episodes were listed wrong on our tv sets, CMT/the producers are re-editing the shows because of whatever is going behind the scenes, things that we don’t even know about or because of what has been leaked. It will be interesting to watch what WILL be shown after all the behind the scenes drama this year.

Interesting theory. VK’s excess weight at Cameos was unforgivable - surely her cut should have happened immediately after the cameo shoot but in real life it probably didn’t; perhaps putting cameos in episode 11 rather than ep 10 gives slightly more “face validity” to K&J keeping her so long afterwards.

Anyone else looking like that would have been cut then and there in the studio

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.

It's especially annoying after the stern way she addressed Dayton with, "You won't make this team just because you're someone's daughter." Now it looks more like she didn't make the team because she wasn't the right someone's daughter.

I don’t think the girls get the “notes”unless they are called in. Otherwise, I believe, they don’t know what she said.

She kept Brianna even though she had dance issues, which she feels can be worked on during the season. VK has issues in every area! It is totally different this year because it is obvious she is only keeping VK because of her friendship with TK!

This is interesting. It's from the Marcea Lane bonus scene. She is in the office giving out her stickers & her opinion on the dancers. Anyway, it looks like Tara, Malena, Victoria (who got a Marcea sticker), & Ashlee are off to the side as the potential final four cuts. So what happened that Ashlee & Lily switched places? (It appears that those 4 were already off to the side; that Marcea didn't put them there.)

I really like that style of dance she was teaching them - sassy/hot jazz w/ lots of strutting, accents and hair flips - I just love whatever you’d call that.   Like what you see in shows like Chicago.  Just like watching it so much more than lyrical and contemporary.   And if that lady was one of the dancers in Thriller that is way cool.

Gina looked really pretty in the scene.  So did VK, and she looked a lot thinner in the part where they showed her dancing - I wasn’t even sure it was her at first, but she looked great.

Malena is just so adorable - it’s got to be killing everyone that she can’t get the dances.   I’d have a really hard time cutting her and I’d almost be tempted to keep her anyways myself.

Crazy the GC thought Tara had bad technique - maybe she doesn’t like short legs, which Tara has, and would look bad in that style of dance.

But she’s not a DCC and it doesn’t sound like she’s coming back any time soon, if at all. So it’s kind of a moot point. If Victoria is hell bent on coming back next year, she probably shouldn’t post a pic like that.

Lily had 5 stickers, for her to get cut was either because she did or said something egregious at the end or they couldn't risk the squad being whitewashed. They brought in 3 African American woman to training camp---they cut Jasmine early, Malena was set to go and Ashlee would have been the last one. Technically they still had Gabbi and Cianna, but they were already short on non-white vets.

I am über curious as to why Lily didn't make it.  I do think she has the look and has looked very cute in the few shots we've seen of her dancing.  Especially later in the season.  Whatever the reason, I hope it's something that doesn't preclude her from coming back and re-auditioning next year.

I think a lot of girls would be seriously side-eyed for posting that sort of... up-the-butt shot on social media, so it's more testament to the pro-Dayton sentiment than anything else. She does look great, but it's far too reminiscent of a Maxim shoot for me.

I'm very confused, because the description of last week's episode mentions Marcea Lane, so either the description was a week ahead (as well as behind since it said a part of it was calendar reveals), or this scene was from last week but was edited out and the description came 1st.  The descriptions have been sooo wrong, though, that I wonder if they were how the show was supposed to be but then was heavily edited afterward.

I don't see the difference between what Dayton posted, and what the girls post on their accounts after calendar shoot.  As for VK, even though she is only "DCC heavy", or was....I don't know how much weight she has lost.  If she's comfortable in her skin and wants to post a bikini shot, and it's good enough to shut us all down, then I say go for it.  Nothing gives you motivation like revenge:)
