The last few years the shortest haircuts you've seen have been like Amy and Christina's lengths.

Rachel A too. I liked Christina's hair when she had it curled as opposed to wearing it straight.

I don't know why this bothers me but Alexandria (rookie of 2017) uses her DCC pic as her main one on Instagram. Sure she's in the squad photo but come on, she only cheered one game and quit.  

She only cheered in one game? I never knew that. I assumed her quitting was later in the season.

I've always read it was one pre-season game. Quitting mid season is news to me. Either way, I can't stand quitters. I'm also looking at you Holly, Milan, and Kaylissa.

Normally, I dislike quitters. But based on how we have heard the conditions are, I'm surprised there aren't more quitting when they've had enough.

And I mean, Kalyssa was cut, Holly was pretty much forced to resign and Milan chose school over dcc and gave us all the tea, so I’ll give them all a pass.

Hadn't heard anything of Kalyssa in a while.  Hope she is okay.

I cannot understand even now HOW Kat ever made the team even for one season. I think Kelli was just so enchanted with her being a rhythmic gymnast. Kelli gave poor Colby so much grief for being too skinny and Kat was smaller and she did not have a glamorous look at all...

I think you are correct.  I agree she was selected because the fact that she was a rhythmic gymnast and what she could bring to show group (if she could make it).  They need 36 women who can perform DCC Pom style, then of those 36 they are looking for roughly 15 standouts for show group.  Having a mixture of "special talents" allows the show group choreography to be more than just the usual DCC Pom.

I swear if KaStupid gets Judy's job if/when she retires, I give up on DCC for good.

I know you don't like her for various reasons. And I don't see her as being experienced enough or the right person to take Judy's job for many years. But stupid is not a word I'd use to describe her.

I can't remember what season it was but there was a group of girls at prelims (this is usually the "the girls who can't dance" segment) who were twerking and Melissa R. refers to having a hard time looking away and the tush "bouncing up and down."

Angela's last show group audition wasn't twerking per se (I'm not an expert, ha ha) but I know exactly what move you're talking about that looked bad and Judy said, "Maybe she shouldn't have done that." And she's right, it looked bad. I think Angela was trying so hard to make SG she went overboard.

After listening to the podcast my opinion of her quitting only changed slightly. I can appreciate her quitting for her mental health, but I don't appreciate her claiming she was a better dancer than some. 

[PhillyFan]

People quit jobs all the time if they’re not a good fit or a better opportunity comes along. That’s the nature of working jobs at all, and DCC is just a job.

Yeah but you don't just up and quit (regardless of the reason) if you have any hope of ever coming back,  Just saying. 

Side note:  Current episode on Pluto (1007) ANGELA gets called out for her dancing in a previous episode and MELISSA uses her as a MENTOR?

Side note #2:  Does this season have 8 episodes in it? I wanna see the Finale episode of this season but don't wanna have to keep watching for another couple hrs.

I was under the impression the whole reason Kelli "liked" Kat was because she was a gymnast who WAS part of the USA Gymnast team that went to the Olympics, before she tried out for DCC (I need to rewatch but I vaguely remember Kat saying that she was part of that team, whether she went to and performed in the Olympics I cannot remember) and we all know know much Kelli "loves" to be associated (and so she could "say") we are a world class team with people from other world class teams/associates. There was one (early) season where the girls went to do some team bonding with the US Olympic shooting team and I think it was Melissa Kellerman who was so speechless that they got to meet and hold Olympic Medalist and their medals

I'm under the impression that some members of the team she trained with got to the Olympics, but she personally did not.  That being said, since when was she an "actress?"

Kat was never a member of the U.S Olympic gymnastics team. She said in her talking head that she was a member of the JUNIOR U.S. gynmastics team that went to the junior World Championships. Leave it to Kelli to fudge the facts much like she fudges the numbers of those who audition every year.

Yea as I could not remember what was said, I did vaguely remember it but we all know Kelli “loves twisting the facts” on a lot of things from auditions to the actual team. If she was my manager I wouldn’t  trust her as my manager. Me personally, she talks about not wanting toxic DCC, she should start with herself, she’s the most “toxic” of them all.

I hear there are 800 Olympic gold medalists trying out for the team this year.

"Seemed" is the operative word here. When you look at her pictures back when she was a DCC her facial expressions were always "hey big boy, need a date tonight?" I think she has been trashy since about half way through her first year on the team, when she started reading all the "hot" talk about herself.

Couldn’t agree more. She was my absolute fave when she was on the team. Had that natural ‘it thing.’ Probably would have been point of the triangle. Sigh. Wish her all the best.

Completely agree.  Such a sad turn of events & bad choices.  Holly was amazing to watch. She could make those dated DCC moves look much more current & hip than they are. Seeing Victoria dance compared to Holly is like watching a wannabe DCC kid at dance camp.

Ok Holly looks like an expensive stripper but how has this been a terrible turn of life events? She’s not a pregnant meth head with an arrest record.

I can't speak for anyone else.  My take is she has so much talent she didn't have to resort to this look.  Everyone's mileage will obviously vary.

She’s very talented, but I think she’s quite used to being a big fish in a small pond.  Her time as a DCC emphasized that...I swear it’s the smallest “big city” I’ve ever experienced. 
 

So when she finally got to LA and realized she’s just another pretty girl who can dance amongst many, she’s been struggling with her identity.   She’s still young and I hope she finds what she’s looking for, but IMO she’s always been a little rough around the edges. Noting she’s done since leaving DCC surprises me.

By my count, she should be around 24 +/- a year. Her 1st year as a DCC she was 18.
