It suits her and kind of a nice medium between the blondes and the girls with really dark hair. who is the girl behind maddie ? i agree that does not look like Tasha im not sure what she had done if your drop dead beautiful why does a person feel the need for fillers or anytype enchancements not saying that is what she had done but there is def something different in her looks Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69994-finals-training-camp-and-social-media/page/92/#findComment-4524236

I agree, if she was wearing something that fit her better, she'd look much better. Something to give her more shape up top with a flirty bottom. What she has on reminds me of duck camo.

ATLGirl July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 Those bikini pictures sure were interesting. Madeline's suit was not a wise choice. She's got an athletic build and that suit makes her look big when she doesn't look that way in the uniform. At least not to me. I know some people feel she doesn't look womanly enough to be a DCC but I like that they have someone sporty on the team like her. Ah, the mystery of Lauren! I remember all the comments about her during the calendar shoot, that she must have some religious reason for not appearing in a bikini. Looks like that's not true, at least not in Cali. She's got a great body, still rockin' those abs. My guess among the many theories was that maybe she was sick during the early part of the shoot and wasn't able to take part? Who knows, but she's not hiding her body now by any means. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69994-finals-training-camp-and-social-media/page/92/#findComment-4525288

I don’t think being comfortable wearing bikini = being comfortable in a swimsuit calendar. They are not even remotely the same thing. Regardless, however, we don’t know if her exclusion from the swimsuit shoot had anything to do being comfortable about anything. There could be totally unrelated reasons, but if it was something shady, I doubt she would’ve gotten a two-weeks free vacation in the Bahamas, nor remained on show group. K&J are obviously fine with it, and the other girls were probably happy to have one less person in competition with them to be in the calendar. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69994-finals-training-camp-and-social-media/page/92/#findComment-4526033

Popular Post LaurenBrook July 26, 2018 Popular Post Share July 26, 2018 It is not hush hush tho? I mean, not sure what they were supposed to do... put in every caption of photos they posted from Bimini: "NOTE: DCC Lauren has asked to be excluded from having her photo taken because she was not comfortable with it; we respect her decision and value her as a team member which is why you've seen her in the background"? I mean, I guess that'd be nice for us rabid fans but the average dcc follower probably did not even notice she didn't shoot. Kelli doesn't owe us a detailed explanation so I'm not surprised that there hasn't been one; she rarely tweets or posts about any such details, particularly while it's going on. And I don't recall them ever saying that it's a requirement for all DCC to participate in the calendar shoot; they consider it an honor but I don't recall the words 'requirement with no exceptions.' Lauren informed them ahead of leaving for the trip and they still chose to take her. She's still on the squad. She has fulfilled every actual duty that is required of her. Also, in agreement with what others have said - there is a WORLD of difference between wearing a bikini at the beach with your gal pals and posing seductively in the sand at sunset all oiled up while untying your bikini bottoms. I'm not judging anyone who doesn't have a problem with the latter (and it's clear Lauren doesn't either since none of her teammates seemed offended by her choice), I'm simply saying there IS a difference and some of us are allowed to opt out. Honestly, after Kelsi Reich saying things after the fact about how much she hated the calendar shoots and is so embarrassed she did them, they probably much prefer someone now quietly requesting to be excluded due to her convictions rather than speaking out negatively about the experience later. I hope this does not come off snarky to anyone, not my intention. Lauren is a class act, caring, amazing human being and I just hate to see her raked across coals when she didn't do anything wrong. Maybe unorthodox but not wrong. 47 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69994-finals-training-camp-and-social-media/page/92/#findComment-4526829
bigskygirl July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 (edited) *sigh* No one is saying Lauren should be kicked off the team because she did not do the calendar shoot. Just like posters questioning why girls are cut, why certain girls make Show Group and other girls do not, why certain vets are cut for weight at finals while there are other vets who are out of shape at finals are saved from being cut etc. etc. Some of us are not saying we need to go down to the Star and demand why they are not coming out with the real reasons why Lauren did not do the shoot. We are just a little curious, nothing more, nothing less. And speaking of the new season, there is a new promo video on the DCC Facebook page. I am tired of Victoria already. I know it can be some heavy editing involved, but enough is enough.

Just like the Teryn was robbed last year from being on the team because Alexandria, Milan and Kalyssa left the team or were cut before the season was over discussion, Brennan was robbed also discussion, etc. etc. Lauren is a current vet on the squad. She might be the first vet to not do the swimsuit calendar shoot. The topic will be brought up and discuss more than once especially next season because CMT was there filming the calendar shoot.

Jazzmom July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 I was hoping they would take DCC Lauren, with her hair as it was, & recreate the Farrah poster from the 70’s. That may have increased sales of the calendar. 19 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69994-finals-training-camp-and-social-media/page/92/#findComment-4527017

Pink-n-Green July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 8 hours ago, Jess14 said: Thank you! I don’t think being comfortable wearing bikini = being comfortable in a swimsuit calendar. They are not even remotely the same thing. Regardless, however, we don’t know if her exclusion from the swimsuit shoot had anything to do being comfortable about anything. There could be totally unrelated reasons, but if it was something shady, I doubt she would’ve gotten a two-weeks free vacation in the Bahamas, nor remained on show group. K&J are obviously fine with it, and the other girls were probably happy to have one less person in competition with them to be in the calendar. My thought was maybe she saw the footage of the calendar shoot where they cheerleaders traipsed down the runway in thigh high boots and bikinis and thought, "Oh HAYLE NO!" :) 2 hours ago, bigskygirl said: Especially if they could have found the same type of one piece swimsuit Farrah had on.

If I recall, said nipple was a huge deal at the time in my junior high. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69994-finals-training-camp-and-social-media/page/92/#findComment-4527511

EricaShadows July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 They've only made four cuts so far, meaning we're down to 41 in Training Camp at the end of week 7. That means, if no more girls get cut this week, there are still 5 girls to cut before the end of camp to get to 36 (and if 36 is the target number). Do we know how long camp is scheduled to run this year? In previous years, it's usually been 8 weeks (though I thought at least one previous year, it was 9 weeks). If it runs 8 weeks, and only 36 girls make the squad, 5 more cuts will need to be made either tonight, tomorrow, or next week. If it's 9 weeks, they could easily spread those 5 cuts out, though it's still going to be a bloodbath at some point, depending on when those cuts are made and if they're made all at once or spread out over the time left.
