I co-sign this so much that I kinda wish we were best friends ☺️☺️

I actually recall defending KelFine and Judy on the TWOP forums when they called Melissa Rycroft out her second TC. In her younger days, MelRy always seemed to me to be the type of person who would start to goof off to cover up not being able to do something well (the ole “I’ll laugh at myself first before anyone else laughs at me” defense mechanism). I think K&J saw this in her too and just called her into the office as a warning to take her place on the squad seriously - as we all know they demand LASERFOCUSSERIOUSNESS when it comes to DCC. But then when she admitted she had mono, even though they kinda looked like assholes, they couldn’t back down because - let’s be honest - Melissa is kind of a goofball.

You would thought I’d invited Lucifer himself to the Christmas dinner table with the reactions on the TWOP forums when I defended them though 🙄.

Ultimately, I think her ability to laugh at herself saved her from the Bachelor-Audience-wide embarrassment a couple of years later.  Disclaimer, I don’t watch the Bachelor OR Dancing With The Stars, so my thoughts on her personality are based on MTT and pure speculation. Also, I actually think MelRy is adorable and I follow her on Instagram.

I think the story about the apology came out several years later. After K&J didn’t admonish (and pretty much defended) Cassie when she demonstrated a clear lackluster performance, the forums tore into them on the double standard. At some point, it bled over into social media, and Melissa posted on some sort of platform that she did in fact receive an apology from K&J in response to some outraged comments. However, I believe it was well after Melissa retired from DCC and even possibly after the Bachelor fiasco and her Dancing With The Stars tenure. So...who knows...maybe they were trying to smooth things over in prep for her DCC TC mentor role at the time. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, Seasons 1-12, my thoughts were always along the lines of “their circus, their monkeys” so they can run it however they want. However the antics of the past two years have really altered my thoughts on K&J.  Now they just look like sad, old bitches. I actually didn’t finish this season. I’m literally typing on the same device where I’ve downloaded the episodes, and I still haven’t watched them. I just had an 11-hour plane ride the other day, wherein I chose to read Regency Christmas romance novels on my kindle app on the same device instead of finishing out this season 🤭

I have taken no less than 7 different “personality” tests from Myers-Briggs, Insights Discovery, DISC, MMPI, CPI, etc. Some of the multiple times. It’s fascinating to see how you change depending on where you are in life and what roles you are currently filling or have filled previously. It’s not just knowing what your “personality” is, it is what you do with that information and how if affects (effects?) your personal and business relationships that really matters. I thought Maddie’s “Dictator” was hilarious. I too fall into that category and I struggle with it on a daily basis. Turns out not everyone likes to be ordered around 😆 

Sorry for the long rant. I haven’t been on here in awhile!!

I still really love Kelli and Judy both.....I am just so floored by some of the choices that have been made, and as much as I can empathize with love blinding individual perception, there have been some seriously egregious oversights I cannot even begin to understand.

Does anyone know when the DCC started doing the jump split? Just watched an episode where Judy was talking about not having to do it when she was a DCC.

In this clip, which I believe is a late 80s/early 90s mashup, they do the fan split at 2:45. I love that the theme song to Dallas was that era’s Thunderstruck.

ETA: although I see dip shorts so it must have been the 90s.

Which veterans were cut the first season Cassie Trammel made the team and who retired?

 

Also does anyone remember if Sarah Gourley's friend Evan Anderson retired after her 2 seasons or got cut?

I’m pretty sure Evan A. retired. She was good and I think they liked her a lot.

Season 3 (2008) was Cassie's rookie season. Vets cut were: Carmen Butler, Michelle Mozek , Leah Mullinax, Kelli Jo Stauffaucher. Also rookies from season 1 (2006) Kristin Hager and Carrie Stillwell.

Carmen, Leah, and Michelle all made the 2008 Mavs Dancers.

OK this is just completely freaky....

Watching the season where Courtney Cook withdraws from TC.  Looked @ Twitter during a commercial break and at the top of my Twitter feed is a tweet from Courtney.  Spooky....she hasn't tweeted in a while.

 

Also Rachael (redheaded TCC who wound up having to leave TC due to an injury) was LATE to the "first meeting" and Kelli didn't cut her on the spot.  Found that quite surprising.

 

Just thought of something else.  Kaitlin LeGrande missed an ENTIRE rehearsal and wasn't cut for that (didn't get cut until the rehearsal outfit screw up)

I think Carrie just skipped the season following her rookie year intending to come back - I could be wrong but I don't think she was cut.  I believe she referenced taking a year off to get married when she was auditioning again during Season 3.

Correct! Kristin Hager was cut at tryouts ‘07. Carrie did not try out that year. Both reauditioned in 2008 and neither made it to training camp.

Evan Anderson was not cut. She was on show group and (I believe) part of the front triangle in Season 5....behind Crystal Trevino. She is an amazing dancer/teacher. I believe she quit after 2 seasons.

Who thinks that Kelli already knew about Carla Ann's (?) boyfriend sending the naughty pics of her when they picked her for TC in season 7?  Does anyone remember how much time was between Finals and First Meeting that year? I'm wondering if they just brought her to training camp to make an "example" of her?

10 days between finals and first meeting. I was wondering the same thing. 10 days seems like plenty of time to find that out unless he sent them very close to the start of TC.

I have zero inside knowledge about this, but I would imagine that the disgusting ex-boyfriend deliberately chose to do so once he'd heard she was invited to camp in order to spoil any chance she might have ever had of making the team.  To send those photographs during tryouts prior to camp would not have necessarily achieved the results he wanted - it is far more likely that he waited until she was happily sharing the news with her friends and family, and then made his move.  Carla paid a heavy price for trusting a revolting human being.

He was probably thrilled beyond belief that it was shown on television.  Thank you Kelli and Charlotte.  Hope your daughters never have anything like this happen to them.

Also makes me wonder where/how did he get the email address to send the photos unless he hacked into Carla's email?

 

RE missing rehearsals:  I just found a rehearsal in season 9 that Judy missed (they brought in DJ Guthrie and Tina Kalina to "help" Kelli).  Did we count this rehearsal when counting what Judy and Kelli have missed over the years as opposed to the girls?

I don't understand how any young female (really any age) could allow someone to take intimate photos of her body, or for that matter, video them having intercourse or performing things on each other.  I just find it amazing that anyone would put themselves in that position.

Accounts get hacked, photos and videos emerge on the internet--it just doesn't make sense to me.  I've never known a man that I wanted that badly that I would allow this to occur.

Also fully realize things happen without a girl knowing it.

whether she took the photos willingly or not is entirely irrelevant.  Revenge porn is illegal for a reason (as well as completely morally reprehensible).

Let's not blame the victim here. She can take whatever pictures she likes, they weren't his to share.

Absolutely.

I'm listening to the end of Season 12, and I really shouldn't...because watching Taryn's cut makes me so effing angry. The way it was done....."we ask ourselves is she ready for the team....and our answer is NO."

I'm glad Taryn hasn't tried out again. She deserves better. 

Stephanie welcomed her back to the Ice angels without auditioning

It’s funny how Whitney could get away with blackface but others catch Hell for party pics. The favoritism is so obvious. I still haven’t found out why the Cassie years are called the “bitchy years”. 

Cassie was bitchy during her time on the squad.  She excuses it now by saying she was young and didn’t know better.  Well, Mama should have known better.

Wow..

Just saw in the current season playing on Pluto that Ms Kitty has "metal hips".  You would never know she's had hip replacement surgery!

If you have a gifted surgeon, most likely no one can tell.  I had my right hip replaced two years ago and people are always gobsmacked when I tell them.  It makes you bionic. 😉

My Mom's had a hip and knee (same side -the knee was planned and hip from a fall) done and I had a shoulder repair (fell on hardwood floor and have pins/plate) and you can definitely tell (especially when it's wet/cold out).  I'd love to have had Kitty's Dr!
