Yeah Danielle not making PBC was crushing she definitely should've been. I was certain she'd get it & then Jenn K got it... Danielle will forever be my fave DCC!

I have to ask ~ wasn’t Danielle Paige Elaine’s maid of honor but Paige isn’t in any wedding pics. What happened there??? 

[DCCWhiteboard]

Hi everyone! Does anyone know what happened to Courtney Cook, withdrew as a vet on S8. Kelli told the girls Courtney had a “big setback” and that was it.

Courtney is fine.   DCC did a "where are they now" pieces on her.  I think she has a houseful of kids and is very grounded.

Most don't really "know" what happened but there were some rumors which may or may not have been accurate.  But in any event she pulled out of DCC and went home to her parents for help.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm a terrible searcher and didn't find the answer.

Is KaShara still dating the bull rider Doug (don't remember last name).  He hasn't been mentioned on her Insta lately.

I've been wondering the same question.  Hard to say if they are dating any longer?  When I looked at their social media at least a month ago they were still "following" each other, but no together pictures in sometime.  I think the last name was Duncan.

I'm having issues with the courtney video it says try again later / i hate when websites do that

Kashara’s IG is now private too.

Holly P is doing Tick Tok . Last I heard she was a bartender? She really isn't posting much on instagram. I've been kinda mixed on her new dancing style post DCC but shes still very entertaining.

She looks sort of "lost" to me.  Not sure what I'm trying to say.   But I'm old.  Maybe she's just doing stuff youngsters do.

Agreed, she just my opinion but she looks pretty bad. Its really sad because she was a star on the team but went to LA & she's a dime a dozen with many dancers far superior to her. Had to be a crushing blow to her overly inflated ego. I had a friend who moved from OK, where she was the smartest person in her class, to Boston, where she was just average smart, it was a hard pill to swallow for her...

I totally agree with this completely.  It must be hard for her because she is amazing, but she was starting to believe her own hype and feeling superior to others in her small pond then to have that ego flattened when she moved to LA and find that others were just as good or better then she is.  It will take time for her to establish herself and start getting dance jobs but, if she still wants it, she'll get back into things when life resumes something close to normal.

Awww, that just made me think of Kalyssa.  Valedictorian of her class at her Oklahoma high school.  

I think what gets Holly P is always going to be her attitude.  She's pretty and has talent but she's forever sneering or smirking.  Makes her look rougher than she really is, and her sass was well documented on MTT.  If she had come in at 21 instead of baby faced 18 year old, she might have gotten the same talking to as Brandi Kilby.

Holly was one of my favorites and I most believe Kelli was going to make her point girl had things have gone differently. To me it made sense for her to get out of Texas and go to LA. Tough city for dancers but alot of opportunities if you are a great. It seemed like she was getting some work here and there and working on her dance reels. She started to lose me when the dance videos she posted got super raunchy and tashy. It's obviously not her choreography and I know all dancers take sexy video vixen heel classes... but I don't need to see the camera shoved up her twerking butt and between her legs. I know she was the "sassy" redhead on the team, but the change in her was so jarring. Haha maybe I'm just getting old too! Last I heard pre- lockdown, she was going to be a Ultra Angel. Same one Alora-Rose came from. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbvYOWgVf-/?igshid=198qs46nua1jx

Its funny bc I always thought about Kalyssa being her valedictorian wondering if she went to high school in a big city where she would rank, i'm not discounting her smarts at all but these little fish have to be dumbstruck when they get out amongst big fish. 

You are spot on about Holly and her facials. She always struck me as so arrogant but maybe that was her way of trying to prove herself as a better dancer. I don't know but these two girls always give me underlying sad, insecure vibes for some reason...

I actually get the same vibe from both of them. For me it is that they seem to try so, so hard in a way that feels like overcompensation. IDK how old Kalyssa was when she auditioned but I chalk Holly's arrogant vibe to her being very young and from a very small town where they probably worshiped her and told her she was going to be a star. 

Holly is an amazing dancer but I think she's gone raunchier because she's not getting noticed in LA where there are a million amazing dancers who are all as beautiful as she is but maybe come across as more trainable/less arrogant. 

Kalyssa...what a beautiful girl who seems to be leaning hard into "sexy" rather than smart. She just seems like she doesn't value her intelligence as much as her looks.

According to Kalyssa's Instagram bio she's studying interior design and architecture at UCLA. Glad to see she's going to school.

[LynneH]

Agree, they both had the Big fish small pond syndrome.   Nothing wrong with leaving DCC as it appears it was not "right for them" and trying something new and different as long as they stay true to themselves and flexible with their goals, they can work their way around trying new styles, cities, networks, jobs, education etc until they get to where they find happiness.

Seems like a good "why not both" situation to me.  Her insta is still 100% lingerie pics, but the income from modeling could definitely help offset education expenses.  UCLA ain't cheap and she's too young to qualify to be an independent student and get the good grants.  It's not the venue many would take, but if she's calculated and smart about it, okay then.  Some of her earlier pics were a bit worrisome IMO, but maybe through COVID she's adjusted some things.

Alllllll that said, curious if she's an active student.  I flipped through her linked website to see if it had any school related info, and it's in dire need of copy editing.  Linked In is outdated too.

Yeah, if her bio is true, good for her! Not only is UCLA not cheap, but it's also not easy to get into. That is one of the best public universities in the country. While I've never liked her more risque pictures, she has never seemed dumb to me, so I would hope that she knows better than to flat out lie about going to college at a particular school. 

I hope it all works out for her. I've gone through several beliefs about Kalyssa...I disliked her at first when she did all that shimmying at auditions, then I liked her in training camp and appreciated that she had a full time job. Then, I thought her first pictures were very cheap and amateur looking, but I appreciate that she really seemed to commit. If she is actually going to school and preparing for life after "modeling," then I have no issue giving her props for that.

I have always wondered if she was telling the truth about being valedictorian at her school. Her website was riddled with basic spelling errors (not sure if that’s still the case but I can’t be bothered to check). I can see the UCLA thing being untrue, too. Hope it’s not, but I do wonder.

She was from a teeny tiny town, I've known dumber people who were valedictorian of a small class.  She came across as relatively intelligent when she spoke on camera.  I can't find a website, but a lot of "influencers" outsource stuff like that so it's possible that she wasn't the one writing for it.

Right. Being a valedictorian is an honor worth celebrating no matter what, but there’s a big difference between being a valedictorian of a class with 50 ppl vs 600 ppl. With that said, while I assume she went to a small school, I actually don’t know how big Kalyssa’s high school was. I knew some ppl in college who were from small towns but went to fairly big high schools - just depends on how big the area that school services is.

[kalibean]

Some of the smartest people I know can't spell for shit, so that wouldn't necessarily surprise me...and she did probably hire that site out.  I just want to give it a quick tweak and fix it for her!

And because I'm procrastinating on a hateful work project, I googled the school size and there are 2,210 students in PK, K-12.  So a teeny graduating class, but it's still a great accomplishment!

This, as you could tell, is a snip from a story. If you see her at other angles she has the "puffy from fillers" cheeks.  Sad that she thought she had to do this.

This is really disturbing! Lacey isn't even old enough to look this bad from plastic surgery!!! She looks awful & I loathe the microblade eyebrows they look so fake to me. Why would she do this to herself, she doesn't even look like the same girl. This makes me sad for her & another reason I say Maddie doesn't need breast implants if she gets them. These girls are so hung up on their looks its horrible. They seem to have very low self worth, this pic of Lacey is just sad and isn't she also into mid level marketing now too? sigh... 

[vanillagum]

lacey...well, that's fucking depressing. she's completely bulldozed her natural beauty. she's too young for this housewife look and didn't need it to begin with, my god

i also hate the whole thing where everyone feels the need to slowly lighten their hair until they're blonde, the ultimate hair color. it's not flattering for 90% of people and just damages your hair. it looks bad. even raven-haired goddess kelsey L fell into that shit and it did her ABSOLUTELY NO FAVORS. i mean, it looked pretty bad, which is hard to do on her. she was so washed out

i saw recently that it looks like she (kelsey) is back to dark hair, guess she got some sense knocked into her. it looks so much better it's not even funny

She looks like she had an allergic reaction to something or tried kissing a bee and the bee was not having it! Why is "bee stung lips" a thing to aspire to?

Kelsey is another who I thought was breathtaking on the show who has gone down the Real Housewives botox rabbit hole. These girls make me so sad. So much beauty and they still feel they have to augment it.

Is it just me, or does Kelsey have a little Lauren Graham thing going on in the "before" picture?

I will say it - Lacey looks terrible.

I don't think these ladies necessarily have low self-worth more than they have access to any form of plastic surgery/procedure that their hearts desire.  Unfortunately, this will be the standard for women working in the entertainment industry going forward.

Agreed! I’ll second your saying it. I really hope that’s a filter (like the one that Khloe Kardashian uses that makes her look like a totally different human). There’s obviously a lot of contouring going on too. But jeez. Her cheeks look deformed. How did she watch that and think, “Yep I look so HAWT *clicks post*”?

I still think Kelsey is just gorgeous. She does have thinner lips naturally so it’s obvious that she’s had some filler. But she still looks like Kelsey to me. Lacey almost looks like a different person altogether. 

I dunno. I’m not against a little touch of whatever here and there. But then again, I’m in my mid-40s. Some of these girls aren’t even 30 yet, which disturbs me. They definitely live in a world where their looks are everything to them so they are doing what they think they need to either maintain what they have or achieve a particular aesthetic.

But some of them are just starting to look like aliens👽

what has kelsey had done other than lips? the before and after posted above is very stark but i can't put my finger on it. it's almost like her eyes are bigger????

[LilyD]

If I remember correctly, someone across the board posted about this a while ago. There was this one and done girl from about 8 years ago, (I think her name was Emily?) who gained a lot shortly after. I believe the explanation was medically related? 

I also remember seeing JennK heavily pregnant in the 2017 or 2018 show (she was giving Kelli feedback on the stands) and it shocked me how huge and puffy in the face she was. Of course everyone gains weight and suffers from swelling to a certain degree, so it probably doesn’t count as an answer to this question, but it really scared and worried me to see her like that.  I did not even recognise her at first. 

[vivianspoetry]

That Lacey and Kelsey, IMHO the most beautiful women to be DCCs, felt the need to get plastic surgery is unfathomable to me.  If it makes them happier, then good for them, but I still can't wrap my head around the fact they felt it was necessary.  There is so much pressure on these women to be perfect that even the perfect ones feel they aren't good enough.
