No because that scene was Kelli calling all vets into the locker room at the start of the reheasals to show them the "board of shame" of who got the lowest score and Nicole Hamilton and Erica was pracitcally at the bottom and Kelli physically called them out and said along the lines of "erica if you don't know about the cowboys then MAYBE you SHOULD GO LOOK AT YOUR LOCKER and hand your uniform in and leave" and Erica stormed out to look at it.  

I remember the vets being told how they ranked but not Erica J storming out. I do remember Erica being called into Kelli's office and told about her attitude and solo.

Is this the right thread for this? Kat Dunn (former tcc) is going on ex on the beach according to twitter/sydney durso's retweet on twitter

Wow. She's really trying to make reality tv her career, huh? If you count MTT, that would be three reality shows she's been on. I wonder if that's the most out of any DCC/TCCs.

Melissa R did Bachelor, DWTS, Redneck Island, Bachelor Pad, Melissa and Tye and MTT.  

[Uk-Eve]

Is Kat Dunn the only former TCC who has had the "most" attention seeking when it comes to reality tv? And Melissa Rycroft being the only DCC with the most reality tv shows after DCC? and a handful like Jasmine Goode and Brandi Redmond etc whose been on reality tv post trying out for DCC that we know of? Who am I missing off that list?

K Dunn is raking in some serious influencer cash from her appearances and social media, tho, so I can’t really blame her for riding that wave while she can. IIRC she has a marketing degree, and she’s making the most of it. 
 

Wouldn’t be the journey I pick for myself, but she’s obviously doing well with it. She always looks like she’s having a great time, and seems like a really good friend too.

I'm watching Pluto tv right now.  They just showed episode 1203, and the very next episode jumped all the way back to episode 501.  ???  Very confusing.

I wondered what the blazes happened.  That was so random.  Guess they needed to re-set the the timeline & that was their solution?!

Didn’t Jenna Jackson try to get onto Big Brother as well? Iirc it was because of Kat Dunn that she didn’t make it….

best and worst makeovers? 

i'm aware that i'm using 'makeover' very liberally here lol

not sure, but every time i see karissa (season 6's) makeover, i think she HAS to be the best one. so much better it's ridiculous. they actually fixed her brows and the color they gave her was a much better fit and really complimented her. it's a shock she even made it to training camp looking like that (especially considering her dancing wasn't impressive and she had barely any formal training???). but i did really love her </3

edited to add: she also had such a cute figure. goals :(

I liked her makeover too. The brown hair was so much better. Karissa was on a semi pro team before she auditioned for the DCC. It was the San Antonio Rampage ice girls. There's  2 videos of them (with Karissa) on youtube and the dancing isn't the best.

I can’t think of a “bad” makeover. I mean they want these girls to be the 36 most beautiful women in Texas, so I never thought any of them would get the cycle 5 Cassandra of Americas Next Top Model treatment.

 

lol yeah, i guess i mean like least flattering. milan's is definitely up there. i don't know what they were thinking—she looked so drab. i don't get why they didn't just give her a better blonde. i wonder what her natural hair color is 

least flattering - maybe paige's, because she had curls with straight bangs lmao. it's no wonder she went back to the straightened hair seemingly immediately 

omg yes jordyn ketchum pre-makeover was SO mousy. the red hair did wonders

[tarheel220]

I just want to know what is going on with the programming.  When I went to bed, they had gone from Season 6 all the way to 10.  I get up this morning and we're back to 8.  Someone apparently doesn't know their numerical order over at Pluto.

[Lexusprincess]

Milan was one of the worse makeovers.  They did nothing for her.  I don't like her hair color now.  I would have gone with a richer chocolate brown.  I believe her blonde on Golden Warriors gives her face a bad monotone.  But I've never been a fan of Milan and thought she was next door cute.  Some girls seem to glam up after their first year but not Milan.  Lea this year is coming across more glam in the swimsuit photos.

Another person they missed out on was Boston Patriot girl Alexandra.  She had that over processed highlighted hair that seemed mousy.  Chocolate brown would have done her wonders.  Guess it didn't matter since she never made it to a season game just a preseason one.  Still believe she tried out to see if she could make it but did not enjoy being back as a rookie.

Karissa was a great makeover.  I liked Taylor's hair cut because it was spunky and not as fake as what she had with the extensions.  Lauren the one with the super yellow highlighter hair (teacher) that they made a brunette that was a good makeover.  She hated her hair but she looked much prettier.

YESSSSS. She would've been a stunner with a rich brown. Was never a fan of her dingy, streaky bleach blonde. Everyone wants to be blonde so badly regardless of whether it's actually flattering, it's frustrating lol

s9 Loren's makeover was really good, I agree. That blonde she came in with did nothing for her

I've always loved her makeover!  Glad to know I am not the ONLY one!  The hair she came in with looked absurd and brought out her semi-masculine features in a bad way.  Giving her the badass hair actually softened her IMVHO.  Plus it moved!  Not in that heavy, flouncy, too many extensions way but in a soft, natural way.  I wish she could have liked it as much as I did!

Yeah, the meeting was still going on and you could see her in the background with a pissy look on her face turn around and go into the bathroom. I always thought that was what prompted her being called into the office.

I personally thought she made a better blonde. I thought they should have given some lowlights and done a toner to blend out the yellow shade.

[ByTor]

Speaking of bad makeovers, one of mine was...ugh...I think her name was Leah from one of the earlier seasons. Rainer said they decided to add "more gold," she ended up red, and they said she was in the salon all day getting it fixed. The color did look good on her, but adding more gold, for most people, means your hair is going to pick up red tones.

Agree, Karissa was my all time fave TCC. I loved her fighter spirit! And damn if she didn't look stunning after her makeover, wow! I have a pic of her on my phone bc i'm an unnatural blonde who always threatens to go darker and if I did, i'd try to get close to the color they gave her. She looked Stunning! And yeah, her brows pre makeover...

Tara, former DCC Cut for NO REASON at all during Training Camp other than to make way for veruca imo, her hair looks sooooooooooo beautiful darker. She looks soooooooo pretty with darker hair. Similar to Karissa's and on my phone as well for color reference only. For the record, i'm still sour grapes about Tara's cut...

Agreed on both points.  I cried when Karissa was cut.  I saw it coming but I was so rooting for her.

Tara is stunning now.  She was pretty before but now absolutely stunning .  I remember Kashara once saying her first year she was learning to be a rookie, her second year learning to be a vet, and her third year she was dancing for herself.  I think that is why Tara looks so great now.  She's dancing for herself.  Great body, looking beautiful and radiating happiness.  Her TCC camp when she got cut, she wasn't at her best.  Something seemed to be going on.  I did cry and rewatched the episode and cried some more.  Whatever it was, Tara is doing amazing now.  Being at peace with yourself or being happy can radiate and add to one's beauty.

Yes, exactly yes on Tara! She is radiating from within. And her dancing is so much more powerful and joyful now. She truly is a doll. I'm just thrilled for her. Her teammates seem to adore her too. I'm glad she's getting the respect she deserves. So much yay for her! It still makes me cry when I see her getting cut.

So many of the young ladies over the years have brought me to tears. Don't even get me started on Auto Amy but she went on to live her best life. But oh do I cry for her. And Taryn who took it like a champ. I think I cried because she didn't. Oddly, I wanted Kyndall to make the team but she never made me cry. Oh Dayton, the gut wrenching sobs, so awful to see. I think she was done dirty anyhow but I digress. 

So which cuts have made you cry?

Leah Mullinax. I think she ended up being brunette.  She was on of the 5 vets cut at finals in season 3 (2008).   I think this is her rookie season cameo   http://www.anirbanroy.org/Leah Mullinax.jpg

I think Raylee’s cut was really surprising, both to her and her friends. I think it’s part of the reason a few people retired at the end of that season (Stephanie, Simone). 

[LilyD]

Re. makeovers: I can’t recall a bad one either. When it comes to ridiculous, the girl whose hair had to match the floor boards comes to mind. (They actually put her down on the floor!)

One I won’t forget was Jinelle’s. There was this whole team standing behind her and disagreeing. Then they seriously considered cutting it short. Jinelle looked horrified! Then Derek came to the rescue, kept the length but gave her a better hair cut.

There hasn’t been a true makeover over the past 4-5 years if you ask me. The ones that audition now, have done their best to come in with the DCC hairstyle, which has become pretty predictable and boring if you ask me. Though last year’s squad had some refreshing hairstyles!

Least favorite season: Season 4. The Minchews, the whole awkward Kaimie situation, Grace Sells getting cut (one of the few cuts I always disagreed with--Kelli and Judy, please take note of my correct opinion on this), and Sara Gourley got featured a good bit as a leader (she always bugged me a bit). Still plenty to like about that season, but there you go. My next least favorite season, although I love nearly all of that rookie class, is season 15. I'm certain I don't have to explain that one.

Favorite makeovers that haven't been named yet (I don't think): Alexandria from Florida and this year's Rookie of the Year Kellee! With Alexandria's makeover, I was kind of shocked at how little Kelli knew of Black women's hair care, given her involvement in rookie makeovers each year. I remember with Alex she was learning basic vocabulary. I thought Alex's hair and makeup makeovers were great, and same for Kellee! Both women were beautiful before but got that glam factor. I love the brighter blush and eyes they put on Kellee at her makeover, too.  

[88Keys]

I thought the borderline mullet they gave Trisha Trevino was pretty bad.  Or maybe she auditioned that way?  I can't remember.  With that said, she has a very cute face so she was able to overcome it.  

I really don't like the early season makeovers as much as the latter ones.  Just so many choppy, layered looks and heavy bangs.  I realize that was probably the style at the time, but Ugh.

I remember  when they made the girls do that bungee jump thing. Sarah Gourley freaked out on the way up to the tower. I watched a clip of the jump only scene on the MTT Facebook page ( I think that's where it was)  and I they seemed to edit that apart out.

She really freaked out! I felt badly for her there--her terror was real. Nice of them not to play up that scene, especially since they seem to love to replay people's humiliating moments. But in general, I did not care for Sarah much.

I was watching one of the videos that DCC put up with perhaps a collection of girls being called at finals for making it to training camp. It was Alexandria, the former Patriots cheerleader.  In the talking head she says this will determine whether she returns to the east coast or moves to Texas FOR THE SUMMER. Not the year but just a season, only to get the skinny for how they run the camp & then hop back to the east coast without a backwards glance.

If she had said "for the year" she would have been called out for assuming she was going to the make the team.

I always got the feeling Alexandria was there only to see if she could make it.  Something about her didn't ring sincere to me.  But to be honest, I never cared for her.
