She has lost and gained. I don't think she looks that bad. She's on the USA cheerleaders and wears a revealing uniform. If she was that big I don't think they would've chosen her.

This is a recent picture... maybe whatever USA cheerleaders standards are ok with it.

She has definitely gained, but she still looks good. Weight has always been a struggle for her, and not everyone can or should be a waif.

She is still a beauty no doubt, I was just surprised is all because I thought she was still actively dancing or teaching dance.

Yikes!! She’s huge! Bless her heart she’s even got fat in the back of her hands 😳😳

[ByTor]

I saw that picture of Vivian, very shocking.  You could tell that the weight she was her 2nd time in TC was not one she'd be able to maintain.

She should’ve made it her first year. She was good and looked great. But she really got caught up in the “fame” her second year.

Her face is gorgeous though. I never understood why Judy said she wouldn’t turn heads at the mall.

Yeah, she should have.  Then it was all about her "fans", bless her heart.

[MrsEVH]

Vivian looked good when she first joined the USA cheerleaders but now I'm not so sure. Here's a picture from her FB. She's 2nd from left and it looks like she hiding behind the poms.

Her legs were too short to wear the boots! They swallowed her, even after she got some of the weight off of her thighs

I disagreed with them that the boots swallowed her legs, they've had people her "heighth" (tm Vivian) on the squad & the boots looked fine (Briana, Kelli Q immediately come to mind).  Maybe the issue was more that her legs were thicker & more muscular.

The 1st time Vivian was in TC Kelli said her legs looked like drumsticks in the boots. I don't remember her saying anything like that when she was in the uniform (TC) the 2nd time.

She’s definitely not huge. She’s big by DCC standards, but probably an 8-10. I weigh 140-145 and people always tell me to eat cheeseburgers. Do I think she’s cheesy and self-consumed? Yes. Big? Nah. She’s just got a bit more junk in her trunk. She looks good still.

Grace Lee and Amy from Detroit are two I felt should have made it. Grace Lee was no bigger than several who were on the squad that year *cough* Merideth, Erica*cough* also, amy changed and took everything they told her, got noticed consistently for performance by choreographers. She should have made it. 

Over morgan, Kaitlin, etc..

yes, totally unfair about Ika. She was gorgeous. 

Finally, kali = girl crush. She should have never been cut. Beautiful and sweet. Powerhouse. Love her.

Grace was a good dancer; it was her body type that Kelli had a problem with. Kelli said she could "sell it" but she "looked stumpy". I didn't see anything wrong with her. Grace was on Mavs for 2 years and looked good in all their skimpy uniforms. Kelli also cut Katie Schouten for the same reason and Katie ended up on the Mavs too.

Jamie who auditioned for the DCC numerous times and never made it to TC. She was the one Kitty criticized about having a tree prop in her solo. She's a a former DSIG, TLD, AAIA and a current MDC/ 3 yr vet.

You know, I keep seeing the ep with her using the tree as a prop, but it still never clicked that was her.  And she can do all that in her tiny kitchen????  Good for her for finding something she loves that she can make a living at.

Yes she is. Girl's doing great since she left Texas. There's also a video on the MDC Facebook page introducing the squad. All the TX girls (Jamie, Kelly, Jenny, Kayla) all made it back except for Whitney who was cut in TC.

Did Whitney Islieb retire voluntarily?  Not meaning that to sound sinister or anything.

I'm guessing she just retired after her 5 years. It was mentioned on this board or maybe the old TWOP that she was supposedly pregnant when she was at Pro Bowl as the rep. Don't know if it's true; maybe someone else here knows.

She was pregnant, had her baby and still fit back in the uniform as an All Star.

She has 4 kids who look very close in age. I think Brandi Kilby is the only former DCC with the most kids- 6.

That "living large, fast money, fast cars" song they play during solos in season 4 is one of the worst things I've ever heard in my life! Lol is that a real song? Those are about the only lyrics and it's horrible. Use a different bad song please lol

LeGrande is the one who claimed she had the speeding ticket.  Her mugshot is out there, she was arrested for drugs.  So LeGrande as in she was in Grand trouble!

So no speeding ticket ehh? She was arrested, car impounded, mom bailed her out and drover her to training camp where she fabricated the speeding ticket lie?

I think the way I posted was misleading, she was arrested for drugs years later, not that night.  But the speeding ticket thing did seem like a lie, or maybe not the full truth (maybe DUI?).

Ah, I see. And when you're arrested it take a looooooong time to get processed and bailed out.

"Meet Me in Vegas" is AWFUL. I mute the sound whenever it comes on. But it can't be as bad as the weird synthesizer tune with disjointed wailing that I've dubbed the Hello Kitty Orgasm song because of the meowing in it. Thankfully, I think it was only in one early season during prelims.

Kaitlin's arrest was in March 2016 and she was charged with Shoplifting, Possession Of Marijuana, Possession Of Paraphernalia - Meth, and Possession Of A Controlled Substance Schedule. Her booking photo shows what look to be meth sores on her face. Her LinkedIn profile work experience stops at 2015 with a restaurant server job. I thought I saw her name on a dance studio website at some point but can't find it now.

I hope she's gotten some help and is out of the risky behavior/situations she was in at the time.

Every time I watch the older seasons, I get surprised at how egregious the T&A shots were, and they're not exactly subtle more recently as it is.

I disagreed, as well.  I think that it would be fine if DCC had a few different body shapes, as long as they can dance well enough.  I'm not talking people like they show in the GTFOH montage of tryouts, but someone like Vivian wouldn't have lowered their beauty/body standards one bit.  It may actually enhance it for some.  I think her biggest problem was how she would've handled appearances.  There's at least a microscopic chance she may have caused WWIII if she ever did a USO show.

It would be Season Three or Four. When they didn’t have enough $ for decent music and heavily featured that “turn off the fax” song.

I thought Vivian was lovely....in the uniform itself she was fine. But her legs were too short along with being too muscular to wear the boots. You can one or you can do the other, but not both. Her lower leg proportion was very off compared to her thigh. I do agree she might have been an ambassador risk.

Kelli and Judy should have NEVER taken both sisters into TC. In their interviews you could tell they were more concerned with their pageant duties than the DCC.

So that writer does the article talking about the girls on the jumbotron and how the camera focuses on their bodies.  Then that day or the next, I'm watching the solos during Season 1, and what are the MTT cameras focusing on?  During practice, when the girls are stretching and holding their positions, what are the MTT cameras focusing on?  It may not seem like it, but they are better than they used to be.

[Lily80]

Season 5. Why do I have no memory of this super cheesy calendar reveal party where they had the life-size cut-outs of the girls in their swimsuits? But what a stunning squad that year.

I agree she would have been an ambassador risk for sure. But that first season, she seemed fine. I was rooting for her that season.

The WORST. Or the shots of them patting their audition stickers into place between their boobs. Ugh... I think CMT eventually realized who their audience is, and it's not primarily men.

[ByTor]

They were showing the season with immature Taylor this morning.  I never really paid attention to Taylor's cut...Judy does all the talking, barely a peep from Kelli, and Judy even told Taylor something like "When you leave the room we always say "I like her"".  I wonder if this was Judy feeling bad for how Cassie called her out, or if CMT told her to do it to make them look better.

I noticed this, too. I think there was an episode recently where Judy asked what Taylor had for breakfast that morning and after Taylor responded, Judy got so tickled. I think she actually really liked her personality.

I think that's a dumb reason not to advance someone considering lots of people have made it into training camp with low kicks.
