I hate to see Dayton gone as well...2 of the 3 cuts have been gals I was rooting for.  As for Brennan's looks...that's exactly how I am about Amy. She is SO boring and plain.  I've never been impressed by her.  Jessika is another one.  There are actually several girls on the squad that are less than beautiful.  If they can make it and be there 3-4 years, then I feel like Brennan can make it.  But that's just my opinion :) 

This is so true! - I totally agree, however I'm not a Brennan fan for the same reasons but I do agree that K&J have picked girls without "HD" faces. I have never ever been an Amy or Jessika fan either.

Oh boy...Brennan has by far the worst facials in this picture. Not good.

[5678Pixie]

Dayton received a Barbie so we know she can dance, maybe just not the DCC style.  She is beautiful and great facials when dancing.  She looks more like a DCC than TCC  Erin that doesn't dance the DCC style either.  Dayton could have gotten it in time.  Dayton would have been a loyal, hard working, honest, good girl and that is what DCC needs to get back to if they want to be called American Sweethearts.

I agree- Dayton is cute- would have loved her on the team! Wish they could have made it happen for her!!

Not seeing the "HD ready" look in this group--- yeah, I know, they're at the pool. But natural beauty seems like a thing of the past.  Must be some amazing dancers with killer make up tricks. I'm waiting to be pleasantly surprised!

with all the drama from last Summer- this year is quite boring. I'm not hearing anything exciting from training camp- how many more do they need to cut?

any guesses on the weakest links?

No guesses , the only one I've seen a lot of video on is VK (excluding the girls who were in camp and cut last year ) . I wish we had someone in the know who could tell us who has been called in repeatedly . 

[EricaShadows]

If this year continues like last year, something big is on the horizon, possibly due to the lawsuit.  I doubt the DCC will be disbanded, but they might take a smaller team, 28 or 32 maybe, depending on how bad the financial hit is (or if there is one).  If there IS a smaller team, I suspect that not only will the majority of rookies be cut, but some vets will be cut as well, not only to make the numbers come out right, but to make room for some rookies on the squad, if only 3 or 4 (if that).

In 13 seasons of the show, I've never seen Shelly in the dance studio unless she is part of the alumni giving feedback.  I could be wrong, but I don't think she is there all the time at the Star.  I was surprised to see her leading the girls in the warm up honestly.  Furthermore, if I had a daughter in TCC and I worked for the organization, I wouldn't be there any more than I had to be.  I wouldn't want her to feel self conscious and I wouldn't want to be in the way.  Also, I wouldn't want for the other TCC's to feel that my daughter were getting preferential treatment cause I was there.  I also wouldn't want my co-workers (and long time friends) to feel awkward cause I was always there or asking questions about my daughter.

Actually, you can see Shelly quite a bit sitting in the studio with Kelly and Judy when the girls are practicing.

I hope she doesn't give them the luxury of her trying out again.  They had their chance.  I have a feeling she is going to be blessed with the favor of something so much grander than being a cheerleader!!!!!  It may have worked out in her favor that they cut her.

Dayton really is one of the most beautiful girls they’ve had try out in awhile. She has a very unique look. Kelli and Judy suck!

[TinyHands]

Dayton is gorgeous, and her technique is great. I think she was probably cut so early because of how she looked in the uniform. Uniform fittings are done early in camp, right after makeovers. She kind of reminds me of Megan from Tampa Bay. You can see someone’s body type (obviously) at tryouts, but there’s been a few cases where there were issues that came out about the white shorts and how they looked on TCCs. 

If it were purely dance related, I’m pretty convinced they would have given her some additional time to develop.

The one who really pissed me off was Karen from (I think) the 2015 season.  They fretted over her being too short for the boots.  They didn't see that she was short when they took her into TC?  They thought her legs would miraculously grow for uniform fitting time?

Sometimes I think “legs too short” is synonymous with her thighs look large with boots. In season 8, Vivian had short legs with muscular thighs that photographed stumpy.  In season 9, she really was much leaner and the short legs were no longer an issue. Yes, they told her she needed to lose weight in season 8, but at the candid photos, Kelli talked about her “short legs.”

 

Courtney Russ, former Tampa Bay cheerleader (the pharmaceutical salesperson) also had this issue. They told her she was a little heavy at fittings. (Not to her, but to the camera, Kelli said, “our uniform requires the long, linear, American thigh, and I don’t know if she has it.”) Then she lost 8 pounds and all of the sudden, her short thighs no longer an issue. 

 

Makenzie Lee was the shortest on the team in her rookie year... they were worried about her kicks but never a word about her short legs in the boots as she didn’t have a weight issue.

[Jazzmom]

I loved Makenzie...couldn’t remember her name but I kept trying to see her when she became a 2nd year vet in the back row!  She really worked hard on her kicks.  

Remember they are looking for the sparkle and wow factor for each teammate, including all of the factors which include dancing skill, kicks, & looking good in the uniform.  Is the TCC just a dancer or can she be a true performer?  Some of these factors training camp cannot change, no matter how long a candidate is in camp,  and usually the early cuts are the ones that are missing more than one factor.  As the selection process narrows, decisions become harder because the last remaining girls may have most of the factors but they try and keep the better performers.  Just because you are a dancer doesn’t mean you are a performer, and/or you can learn the DCC style.

This. I remember last year thinking they kept Brianna way longer than they should have. You could tell from the start that she wasn’t gonna get the style part. Sometimes I think it’s cruel to keep them when they’re obviously not the right fit.  It’s such hard work and so emotionally draining on these women.

She was brought in so they would have someone to cut. She had a snow ball chance in heck of making the team. Another example of a girl being brought into TC because of the show.

[Jess14]

Karen was the former Tampa Bay dancer right (brunette)? I liked her. From what I remember she was a powerful dancer with a lot of pop, but Kelli didn’t like how she looked in the uniform. I wonder whatever happened to her.

I hope someone does a “where are they now” article one day about the girls who didn’t make it. I assume that CMT will eventually get around to doing a special on the vets, but I’m interested in the ones who got cut from training camp as well.

No, Megan was the TB Bucs cheerleader (who I thought looked amazing in the uniform). Karen was the Hispanic girl who's grandpa loved the cheerleaders. Her solo was awesome and sassy, but she was told while in TC that she was doing her own thing instead of the steps that were taught.

Ok gotcha. I remember Karen now. I liked her too, but she did struggle in training camp and didn’t look great in the uniform. I can’t really argue with her cut.

I agree it was more than just not getting the DCC style, I heard she had an attitude of "I don't care" about anything.  Of all people Kelli would know if she would look right in the uniform, she is like her own daughter.  Why would they take her to TC this year?  Nothing changed from last year.  I just happen to think she is a lot better looking than several of the girls they took to TC this year.

I get that, but they aren't consistent with that rule. Keyra was way more muscular than Vivian, yet they took her. They said her power made up for it, but the first year Vivian tried out, she was a total power house. They said that Taryn had low kicks, but Mckenzie, Kali and others had way lower kicks and made it. The one who upset me most was the super cute hispanic girl named Mandy a few years back. They told her she was too short. She was one of the most beautiful girls ever, great dancer and looked great in the uniform. 

[5678Pixie]

Erin's thighs look the same size as last year.  I don't understand why they cut Keyra for thighs and take another girl to TC with them.  Maybe it was her attitude.

I agree that it doesn’t seem consistent. I think that they accept flaws of some if the cheerleader brings something else that they think is super special. But, yeah, I agree that some make the team even though they show flaws that have gotten others cut. Kali’s kicks, Chelsea’s clumsiness, Kelsey L’s lack of technique... we could go on and on...

no one said life is fair, and this process is very subjective. But, IMO, a lot of life is like this... not everyone gets hired for a job that they are 100% qualified to do... there’s always a portion out of the candidates’ control.

Yeah, agreed. While I think there are some aspects that any employer should be consistent about to try and ward off legal trouble (infraction and disciplinary issues are top of the line, and nothing suggests that the DCCs have been consistent there), I think some inconsistency in shortcomings that an employer is willing to overlook should be expected. If everyone likes someone and enjoys having her around, but her work product is mediocre, she probably isn’t at a huge risk of losing a job. If someone is an asshole who ppl don’t like but is a great worker, then that person may be ok too. Yet, if you’re unlikeable and a mediocre worker, then you’re probably out the door lol.

I think the DCCs are the same. If they like a girl whether personally or just because she’s gorgeous or a powerhouse dancer, then that person may make it in spite of issues that get other girls cut. That’s just life.

ETA: Regarding Vivian, I think Kelli regretted her cut the first season. It’s hard to remember it now because Vivian really let the fans go to her head between first and second times that she made training camp, but she was a fan favorite that first year. I think they wanted to take her the second year, but she was feeling herself a little too hard by that point and just seemed out of it at times.

I'm guessing Vivian maybe didn't try as hard the 2nd time because she thought she was a "shoo in" (like Kaime did) and possibly figured if Kelli took her back a 2nd time she will most likely  make the team. She also told Kelli about the break up with her boyfriend as an excuse for it.

I thought Karen was pretty.  I do agree that her hair was too long, but I think her biggest problem was that she was too young...I'm pretty sure she just graduated from high school that year.  I think if she were to back a little older & more mature (not that I thought she was immature) she would have a better shot.

Eek.. that’s not good, nor healthy. While I think her attitude was due to the fame of her training camp/the show going to her, if she was truly on a crazy diet like that, it could’ve affected her personality some. I know I’m not fun to be around when I’m starving.  I swear though, I can’t do juicing, and smoothie diets don’t work for me at all. I love a good smoothie, but I’m usually hungry again 30 mins to an hour later. I really don’t know how people do it.

You know...I recently went back and rewatched the first Vivian season. I didn't notice this the first time, but in a re-watch, I noticed she was looking for the cameras a LOT, and doing what she could to get the attention even then. But then again, I was NEVER a Vivian fan. She always struck me as the type to think she was the greatest, and was doing DCC a favor by trying out. I still laugh when I see her second season. When they were going to annouce the winner of the fan vote, she was mugging and smiling for the camera, presuming she was the winner. When she did not win (I think it was Loren), she pouted big time. Add in her poetry....classic trainwreck.
