Dayton comes across as a pretty wholesome sweet girl and doesn’t post photos a la Kalyssa 24/7. I dunno. Kalyssa’s photos are skanky, this one is wowza. There’s just a difference. ?‍♀️I definitely think most people really like Dayton. 

 

But I agree with the poster who said people can post what they want and also agree Dayton won’t catch as much flack!

But some day, in theory, you might meet people who need to know your outside of your body. An employer. Your in laws. Your kid’s friend’s mom. 

 

Nobody is going to go back and compare her to Kalyssa. They are just going to think “oh, that is a woman who puts her almost bare ass on the internet.” Which by the way is FINE — your choice, you do you, and above all your right and prerogative.

But ass is ass on the internet — be it Dayton’s shot, a cowboys calendar, or Kalyssa.

I may have to try that:). We would get those little containers at the Mexican bakery when we got sweet bread, and just lick it off our hands.  I would so get zapped at the etiquette luncheon for that?

And an early Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!!!???????

It’s not about showing skin, it’s about taking a photo intended to highlight your taint.

If she wants to burn bridges, that is OK by me. At this point, auditioning again would be a step backwards. If this season is any indication, she dodged a bullet. 

[Quilt Fairy]

I thought most of the DCC calendar photos we saw were tasteless, trashy and just short of porno.  I was aghast a few weeks ago when every girl who got a cover shot had to state what an "honor" it was.  Dayton's photo, by comparison, I found kinda cute.  Youth is wasted on the young..........

I agree with you.  Dayton is a beautiful girl and the bikini shot was hardly tasteless.  Ah to be young again!!  I don't know what all the fuss is about!!!   I've seen more skin in bent over booty shots of the DCC girls in uniform on the field.

One thing that would bother me and you can see it in all of VKs dance videos.  VK doesn’t know how to stay in her area when she dances.  She is all over the place and other girls have to move to accommodate her, or not to be ran over by her.  She’s out of control with her movements.  She needs to learn how to stay in her space.  It would drive me crazy if I had to dance next to her.  

So, VK is 18 years old, been dancing most of her life and I'm assuming with different teachers.  My question is for all of you dance experts on our forum, and I apologize if we did discuss this before - she doesn't stay in her space, would that have been addressed in a dance class?  Should that have been addressed?  I'm thinking safety.  I'm thinking that if I'm the dancer next to her, I would be worried I'd get hit.  I'm surprised it wasn't addressed in TC because other girls have been talked to about lines, following a leader, etc, but I guess by now, I shouldn't be surprised.

That is because Kalyssa has forgotten to put on a bikini before taking pictures. 

But she remembered that towel! On her head! And the thick frame glasses!

OK Watching Gina/Savannah podcast. Gina is growing on me but still don't think she has the face for point. But expect here there LOL. 

Savannah is less deer in headlights but still sort of vapid.

 Dayton’s butt is amazing. I can’t stop staring. In a non creepy way. There’s like not a drop of cellulite. And she’s fit not emaciatedly skinny. If I looked like that in a bikini, I’d wear one every day. ?

If I looked like that I would consider going around naked.  Seriously, some things just aren't fair.

I keep looking at it and thinking, how does this situation actually arise during your average day at the beach? Is your friend looking up at you and suddenly struck by how great your butt looks, and feels compelled to photograph it? Or do you already suspect that it might be looking particularly fine today, so you ask your friend to take some nice, tasteful butt shots of you? How many eyerolls is this eliciting from random bystanders? So many questions. 

I was about to ask that very question but you beat me to it! It sucks having a job and missing out on these funny posts. So, was it a timer pic and she rubbed her butt in the sand real quick before the picture took? Or did she ask a friend to sit behind her and take a pic looking upward. And yes, anyone around would seriously be eye rolling. Honestly I just don't know about posting that on social media. Dayton seems like a very down to earth, fun, person...and this pic kind of send a message that maybe she wouldn't to send. That said, the pic of Savannah acting like she's bulling down her bikini is about on the same level and that was ok with the powers that be at DCC. How come they were warning Kalyssa to "put some clothes on" on her instagram posts yet the stuff they shoot for the calendar can be pretty slutty? Is it because sex sells and they weren't making money on Kalyssa's pics?

wonder if it is a Freudian/passive aggressive "kiss my butt" message?

[UnicornKicks]

To me Dayton is just getting some adult freedom and showing off her independence. She might look back one day and be like "why did I post taht ass pic" and she might say "dang my ass looked good" lol. She's a grown woman and does what she wants lol. Pic if her proof.

This pic just doesn’t bother me... it’s her perfect butt in a bikini. So many bikini shots out there these days, but I do get what you’re saying.

I wonder if Tara/Savvy didn't have some sort of breakup?  Last year, they were a "package deal" and both were shown crying when asked what they would do if the duo was broken up.  This year in pics where they are given a choice, they are not near each other (for example calendar reveal).  I agree with you all that Tara looks sad and depressed.  Maybe the answer is right in front of us? 

yes! I noticed this as well...they don't sit near each other in any of the shots that I recall..I'd have to go back and look and "pink and blue" to see if they hang together. I think you are spot on that this is one issue for Tara. Tara seems depressed, and that makes me really feel for her. I hope she is doing better.

It is, but I do wonder what K&J would think about that photo if she was a DCC/still in TC.  I know many of the calendar shots are worse, but that’s the DCC  releasing those, not on a person’s individual social media.

I also wonder how it would be perceived if VK posted a photo like that ;). 

Dayton’s body does look great though.

Judy saw it at the same time I saw it...if she was offended she would have said something. If my ? looked like that, I’d  post it too!

It’s really none of K&J business what Dayton does. I personally think some of the calendar photos are way to revealing. Dayton is a beautiful girl and since she was in Miami, she probably had more clothes on than most people.

(1) totally agree that K&J have no business with what Dayton does or doesn't do.  Dayton has already said she does not plan on trying out again.  

(2) @ShellyB didn't seem to have a problem with the pic If anything she can take credit for Dayton's great genes 

(3) if it seems it will be a problem in the future the picture can be taken down. 

(4) her body, her IG, her choice.

I agree. The skin she’s showing is sexy. It’s the angle that accentuates one of her covered parts that makes it trashy for me. She does have a great butt. Just raise the camera 2 feet.

I don't think anyone's jealous of Dayton's Instagram buttcheeks, any more than they would be if Jenna posted this exact same picture and everyone commented on how "thirsty" she is.

We just have different perspectives on what's tacky, that's all. And while I don't really expect my perspective to line up with women whose lifelong dream is to shake their T&A for leering football fans, I'm certainly not going to stop snarking about it.

I think it’s the angle not the amount of skin showing.  A shot level with her ass - even her bare ass - would be less suggestive than this particular picture IMHO.

I see it as a subtle way for Dayton to tell the the powers that be of the DCC to "kiss her ass".  Because, truthfully, Dayton got the short end of the stick.  She didn't deserve to be cut.  We all should be oohing and aahing over Dayton making the team.

What is the reasoning behind this only taking 36 girls now? They have had 39 and 40 in the past. If Kelli was struggling cutting people, she should have just taken 40.

Shelly said a while back that this year Kellie was given 36 as a hard number.  But I forget why.  Just a new rule that is out of Kellie’s hands from what I understood

Any future job Dayton will have will likely be in the dance world.  The dance world is very comfortable with skimpy clothing.  Not necessarily distasteful, just ok with next to nothing dancing.  She’ll be ok, her employers won’t care.

I’m also jelly of her booty!  If I had those leg and that butt, I’d show them to as many people as I could!  Amazing!!  Go Dayton!

I love this as Cianna has been by far my favorite rookie...may I ask how she ended up on your radar in the first place? I always thought her roots (Hawaii, Portland) set her apart from the other rookie candidates, and even though we heard her backstory on the show, I'm sure there's a lot more to her than meets the eye. She is a beautiful dancer and, in my opinion, has an absolutely stunning standout look.

There’s a big difference in the angle and what’s showing between those two photos.   IMO even if she had on tights or shorts, the angle of Dayton’s photo is really bad, and worse than Danielle’s.

Something about her face not being visible makes it more trashy too.   Almost like the album cover from that rap group “too live crew” in the 80...or was it the 90s.   Just real objectifying.

I think a simple beach photo is being analyzed & picked apart way too much. Yea, you can say the angle is unfortunate (I, myself, had to look for it after someone else mentioned it - I just looked at it & thought "wow, great buns" & didn't focus on the angle/what is/isn't showing, etc. & I'm sure Dayton & her friends didn't see it either), but beyond that, calling it objectifying because her face isn't showing, etc. is a bit of a stretch to me. It's just a photo from a fun day at the beach like millions of other teens & twenty-somethings post every day. Should she have posted it? I'm of the generation that thinks not everything needs to be posted on the internet, but I don't think any future employment opportunity is going to be jeopardized by it or other great scandal come of it (other than on this board). Now, if it becomes the major theme of her instagram (a la Kalyssa), I'll start to side eye her & wonder what she's thinking.

I generally don’t like the DCC swim pics at all. The only pic I have liked is Holly P in front of the surfboard... girl looked strong and in charge - a whole different feel. The other pics usually look too much like playing coy and ... approval seeking (?) 

What is fine and dandy in the dance world is a bit different than what I usually see though. Dayton’s pic is a bit too much for me but I’m glad she has your support @ShellyB. You have to use it and work it when you have it, and that’s how you land jobs I guess - you’ve got to get noticed!

Dayton has worked hard for her amazing bum, and looks great, and can show it off however she likes....

but still, I will just avert my gaze for a moment haha

[nittanyvolleyball]

I don't particularly care about ass shots since they're all over my instagram anyways being that I'm almost 30. DCC swimsuit pics are more raunchy than Dayton's picture for sure. There's been some cute shots, like Danielle's is cute without being raunchy with just a hint of ass but the "oh look my bottoms might fall off" pictures turn me off

You’re not wrong, but everything is overanalyzed on this board. The most recent episode thread has pages of discussion about VK’s dress and Kashara’s 6 word response at an etiquette class. 

I guess I just don’t understand all the angst about Dayton vs. VK and how it’s spilling over into every discussion, which is absolutely what is happening in the Instagram discussion. Neither of them was ready to make the team this year and neither did. Dayton getting cut when she did allowed her to find another opportunity, so things worked out for the better. From the clips she appeared in the show, I found Dayton very likeable, so I’m happy with how things turned out for her.
