Are you talking Season 3 solos?  Cause neither of those girls with the lollipops was Sydney.

Not sure, but I for sure remember one of the saddest solos, and a VETERAN solos at that, featuring Sydney in some pink, Swiss Miss attire doing a sugary candy routine. Is my memory already going? Absolutely correct me if I am wrong!  I ain’t wrong about her claiming to be natural blonde. That’s her words, bless her little Tangerine whatever salon heart.

Same here! I actually like Kitty and miss her on the show. The dance world is super harsh so her criticisms were usually spot on.

Erica did not try to come back after she lets say ‘parted ways’.

 

Weirdly I actually remember reading she did by someone. Don't remember where but to come to think of it (and off the top of my head) it was on either Cassie or Melissa Rycrofts instagram when the lawsuit was happening and that she was turned away at one of early stages. Cant be asked to troll thro the posts of where I saw it because my memory of where I saw it is located but I do remember it, so meh.

The thing with Sydney is she may NOT be the best dancer on the team but she does know how to dance and she does know how to sell herself (sorry I mean suck up) to the extent where she got on the team and stayed on the team. Sydney's more like a "flirter" and knows how to perform. But sh Her final year on the team, remember her looking like "oh are you talkin about me?" When Kelli said "and returning for her SEVERNTH season ...." and Sydney stuck her head out into the aisle and looked like "oh Kelli you on about me?" Who else were we talking about there? Kelli has a short term memory to remember how many times a girl has tried out unless she was on the squad. Remember Kelli S? She tried out 3 times before she made the team on her fourth time and during one rehearsal Kelli was like "Kelli, clean perfect, how many times you tried out?" and Kelli was like "this is my fourth time". But yet on 2 of her previous tries there WERE SHOTS of Kelli looking at the Kelli's headshots and hearing her claim she has never seen any of Kelli before etc .... was just hilarious for me

Sydney would be pretty blah now but when she First auditioned she was show group worthy But does have the look. Another example of how technical levels have skyrocketed since the show started.

[Jess14]

That solo from Sydney is pretty bad, but something tells me that if we saw full solos from everyone and not just clips, lots of them, including from vets, would get labeled “pretty bad.” Girls who are excellent technical dancers will excel in the solos, but they’re not always the best at power pom. Going back to Olivia, I think is a top 10 technical dancer since the show started (all seasons), but DCC style....Im not sure she would even be top 5 from her own rookie class. Sydney was middle of the road to me, but her looks put her over the top. I think she could still make the team if she tried out today, but now, she might be considered one of the weaker dancers, IMO.

Omg go back and watch the vet solo on the first full season. Andrea who was point - this was before Thunder became The only pregame song - her sexy cop solo is horrific. Likes walking around tapping a night stick then some ass wiggling. I agree syd would prob make it today but def not show group or anything impressive today.

I was watching an old season and wondered where she ended up so I did look her up and yikes! What did she do to her face? Some of those pictures she looks soooooo off. She was one of the most beautiful girls ever to try out sure, she was extremely over-sexual, but she was still stunning. Now she looks like Howard the Duck's lovechild. It's very sad.

She looks like an expensive Russian hooker trying to find a creepy old sultan to bankroll her. Sad.

Judging by Lacey’s Instagram of her bachelorette party, she seems to be going full force ahead with her wedding next weekend. It will be interesting to see if any former DCCs are there, if it’s going to be a normal reception with dancing or with social distancing, etc.

I was curious about that as well 🙂  I'm wondering if she will have a small ceremony then have a big party later this year when things calm down.  I know that is what my friends who got married over the past month are doing. 

[Lexusprincess]

Lacey's IG shows she does not practice social distance.  She had a bachelorette party in bathing suits and no masks.  There's been some other social activities and times with all of her family.  I believe she wants her dream wedding to happen so it will happen and who cares about what's going on in the world.

Not impressed.................

Haven’t they lessened restrictions in Texas?  Cause we don’t have to wear a mask if we are with friends or family in a private setting.

They were still in place during Mother's Day when she posted certain events.  Her surprise bridal shower had several women who do not live together.   Weddings are events with larger crowds and I have not heard of any state governor or the national government  suggesting that.  Many brides-to-be have done the responsible thing which is to postpone their wedding.  

I believe many of the DCC current, retired, just retired act as if these health precautions are for someone else not them.  I am sad that women who are in the limelight act as if these precautions are for the rest of the world and not them.  

In my opinion, it is not being a responsible citizen to have any gathering of over 10 people during this time.  Hard to pull of a wedding with what I have seen of her bridesmaids that would be under 10 in fact under 20 or 30  Lacey may be an all time favorite.  It does not change my opinion about her actions.  

[UnicornKicksBack]

I’m mean Lacey comes off as sweet but the way everthing revolves around appearance and troweling on tons of makeup, fillers, plastic surgery, hair etc she’s almost at Sydney level with being vain and vapid.

She seems lovely but not particularly bright. Common sense seems to be lacking.

[kalibean]

I was gonna say, that might be, but at least Sydney is savvy AF.  I don't know why I have such a soft spot for Sydney, but I just do.

Lacey is a great dancer and pretty as can be, and probably a lovely friend, but doesn't seem like any kind of go-getter.  I always assumed that was why she didn't get more accolades and leadership positions.

[Jess14]

While I agree that Lacey seems timid compared to some others, she was a second group leader, a group leader for two years, a longtime show group member, the pro bowl cheerleader, and in the triangle for 2 years. Had she stayed for a 6th year, she would’ve almost certainly been point, which other than vet/rookie of the year, is the only other accolade that she didn’t get (who was rookie of the year from her group?) 

Lacey was on the team so long that I think it’s hard to forget that she is very young compared to many of the other girls who came in right before and after her. I always wonder if the girls who went to the team straight out of high school would’ve been better off had they gone to college first or had other jobs that weren’t as high-profile first. I remember Jenna saying something about her whole adult life revolving around DCC, and that seems a stifling for personal growth, especially since DCC seems to dictate their lives. Not saying that college is a panacea by any means, but I think there’s a reason why many of us look fondly back on our college years and the many lessons learned - good and bad.

She is adorable, but it is cracking me up how angry she looks in that first picture. Like it might be one of the last they took and she's sitting there wondering when she's getting her damned bottle! haha

LOL the pissed off look is what makes her even cuter to me!!

[UnicornKicksBack]

First Mary is perfection. Stunning without ever looking fake or overly made up.

i agree on having a soft spot for syd and not even sure why. I just do not like how she is torn apart over everything from looks to dance when others are praised for the same standards. Yeah Lacey dances circles around Sydney but both come off as entirely self absorbed and obsessed with their appearance. Sydney has a lot more personality though to me. Also at least she did attempt to go to school while Lacey is another who had five part time jobs all revolves around looking plastic. She had goals of going to school for diatetics but not sure if she ever actually did. I dunno. Loved her at first then she got on my nerves when she started having all the procedures and coming off like she was terrified to move and not look plastic.

I like Sydney as well - has a personality, good dancer, admitted she needed help to become a DCC, and then proceeded to help others.  She also seems to be a loyal friend and a good businesswoman.  And her little boy is adorable:)

I also thought the lollipop audition solo “natural blonde” Sydney had was childish, inappropriate for NFL pro dancer tryouts of any kind, and her sad fouettes took her from one end of the Floor to center stage

Did she really say she was a natural blonde ? Her dark black roots in her many many pics during quarantine say otherwise

You are correct. She posted a pic of her and Trevor with the marriage license on IG over the weekend and stated that they're going ahead with a small wedding this coming weekend with just family/close friends with a bigger event to be scheduled later on.

Had a dental procedure this morning and wanted to relax today, so I spent an embarrassing amount of time on IG. And I satisfied a longtime curiosity! I always wondered whatever happened to Kimber Baker (S02), like, did she study and become more articulate and educated? I found her on IG and it seems she certainly has. She completed her nursing degree, she’s married, and has two beautiful boys. I was so glad to see this! I love a good underdog story.

I thought that was more a reaction to the style of the dress, but I guess it’s possible. However her instagram stories showed her and her new husband eating sushi on their honeymoon...

All in all it looks like she and her husband ended up with a sweet and sentimental wedding in the backyard of her childhood home, they definitely made the best of a bad situation. (All three weddings I was invited to this year have been pushed to 2021)
