That way Kelsey was trying to process what Kelli meant with that bacon comparison in the short interview afterwards! She literally munched over the chewy bacon and said she'll be more like crispy bacon next time. I kinda feel she desperately tried to respond seriously but I'm sure she thought something like "wtf??" (sorry for the language guys)

What about Season 6 when she was trying to be cute and announce they had all made the squad?  That didn't go over very well

She looked like she was trying not to crack up laughing.  I loved it.

Didn't Kelli say she looked like burnt toast?  Cause Kelli's descriptions are usually food related.  Burnt toast, crispy bacon, noodle-y - I know there are others:)

Was Kaitlyn also the one who was "orange as Texas mud?" Or was that someone else?

Ha I’m watching this episode; Kelsey really has a wonderful quality of making it clear she see’s the Bullsh** involved without getting snarky.   She’s one of the few people I’ve seen who I think are truly confident - kudos to her parents.

If they really wanted to level the playing field they’d give all the girls a DVD with the routines.   Why make it about short term memory?  

Oh and Amy should have made it.  Still get angry every time I watch this.  Does anyone know what happened to her.

I want to say that this is Sintia.  She was supposedly an amazing dancer and ambassador who was said to be a lock for the team (due to her dancing and the like), but she got arrested during Training Camp for, I think, assault and was charged.  They dropped her as soon as they were notified and they tried to bury her as much as possible during that Camp.

WHAT?!? Wow. 

[AnotherSadLove]

The worse team announcement was definitely 2010

The girls were full dresses for the squad photo. I mean come on. 
 

The best was the year before 2009 when she said her page was blank and she had no names to call into the office. The rookies reaction was near emotional. They were so nervous and stressed. Their collective gasp and tears was moving.

I just read somewhere on here that s12 Taryn was in her early 30s during TC, is that true? Obviously I can't find her age anywhere...that's really shocking to me lol

This is from her IG. It's from 130 weeks ago (you do the math LOL).   https://www.instagram.com/p/BkbszPXnFUA/

EDITED: Found her on MyLife and if that's her (from North Richland Hills, TX) she's 32.

Then based on that she was 28/29 during TC (birthday is mid-June, so in the middle of TC).

She was never called out/into the office so it was probably easy to sweep it under the rug. She was on the 2015-16 Austin Capitol City dancers for 1 season.  https://www.instagram.com/p/6WD0TyKyM5/

Season 9 on right now   Christina’s face just bothers me   And if kitty had problems with Erica’s hair , she must have not seen Christina’s hair      And Vivian.  Good grief.  Digging the hole deeper.  If you see talking your way out is not gonna happen , stop talking   Injury at the start of training camp and five weeks in you only went to bar method 3 times ???

Lol Vivian was lying her lil tail off. She knew saying she was injured would get her out of being judged closely for kicks and jump splits. 

As soon as Kelly hit her with the “if you need to pull out of the jump splits then you need to pull out of training camp”, she was magically healed. 

[AnotherSadLove]

My goodness Maddie was a meeeesssss that year she was cut. Oh my Lord. 
 

That super black hair with an orange tan, the spastic dancing, bad kicks. Whew. 
 

Never would have imagined how great she’d end up as a DCC. 

[EvergreenLove]

Catching the beginning of Season 2 on Pluto - remember the candidate Sophia Swan? I just love seeing her during the auditions and want her to be my BFF.  She's a lovely, happy soul.

[Tdoc72]

Speaking of season 2...I miss that chair/chaise lounge thing they used for the cameos. It was something different. I wonder why they stopped. 

[dariafan]

Season 8 panel interviews.  Terri got on kelli’s bad side quick. And Kelli called her whiny.  I asked ( some how I have never caught her saying that in the many rewatches I do) did you not hear her all last year ????  

[WoofDCC]

When did they introduce the theme song?

On Pluto, seasons 1-12 dont have a theme song.

[MrsEVH]

Anyone interested in former DCC finalist Shannon I found her social media accounts. She wasn't chosen for TC but went on to dance for the Cleveland Cavs dancers for 1 year.

She was such a big miss!  Makeover day would have been perfection and she had an awesome personality.  Her and Seattle Miranda make me so sad for the missed opportunity.  But also yay they avoided the shit show?

I agree.  She was on the 2013-14 DCRB for 1 season which was the last one it was all female before going co-ed.

I LOVED shannon. she's so pretty and she seems so sweet on insta

i hated how they called her 'meth face' and said she didn't have the lookor whatever. her eyes a little close together but the way they talked about her you'd think she was some short, chunky, frizzy redhead. a tall blonde, the horror!

She looked pretty good when she was on the Cavs Dancers.

I don’t think they said ‘meth face,’ I believe they called her makeup ‘muddy’. As though she was wearing the wrong color and formula of foundation for her skin tone. 

Edit to add: unless they did say that I just completely missed it every time. 

Omg, “meth face” was stuck in my head because I saw it in a comment here about her from when the show was airing. “Shannon from Pittsburgh has meth face and that can’t be fixed,” or something like that. I just found the comment to confirm lmao. So I don’t think they said that, but they kept saying she didn’t have the DCC look like she was ugly or something—maybe her makeup was muddy but that’s a beyond easy fix.

I don't recall Shannon being called "meth face" but in season 4 Kelli called Megan Martinez's makeup "muddy".

People on other boards called her meth face 😦.  I just thought she needed a hair cut  and some products advise 

[kalibean]

Wow.  WOW.  Maybe I've been exposed to southern Missouri too long (one of the meth capitals of the country) but she for sure doesn't have meth face.  WOW.

I think she's so pretty, just needed some product advice.  And isn't that what makeover day is for?  Sheesh!!  I swear, people outside of the Dallas bubble who haven't done ten salon consultations have such a little chance of making it.  They miss out on so many gems.  Kelli could have been patting herself on the back a million times over like she used to do in the early days of MTT.

That's Kitty's favorite question I think!  Makes me giggle.  Flat hair is such an easy fix!  Especially in the wild world of extensions, goodness.

Was Brenda talking about Shannon when she was referring to "all of this was not working for her..but I think it can be fixed!"  I could be mixing my drinks, but I 100% agree.  I don't think her hair and makeup were doing all they could be doing, but I also felt it was very fixable!  I mean goodness, I've gone my entire life without having professional makeup done.  And I'm from the south!  (To be fair, I did have amazing costume makeup done two years ago for a themed wedding reception...but I mean the seemingly everyday practice these days of having makeup professionally done for everything.)

Exactly! 😂 They can be so pearl-clutchy about the weirdest things. It’s as though if a girl didn’t start at birth, it IMPOSSIBLE change it now. Watching this show and not being from the south, I can almost believe that Texas/Arkansas/Louisiana debutantes get their first hair extensions as a parting gift from their OBGYNs. *Congratulations! You’ve had a little girl! Here is a bottle of spray tan and her tie ins! Can’t have the neighbors thinking you birthed a pale, limp-haired baby!! Plus a gift certificate for a nose job and veneers for when she turns 16! Isn’t she precious!* 

This is a really good point (and makes me so thankful that I grew up with hippie parents in rural Missouri). I think the DCC have officially put to bed this idea of wanting the “girl next door.” I’m sure things are different in Dallas, but I’ve lived a lot of places in my life and have yet to see someone living next door that reminds me of this new crop of DCC. 🤷‍♀️

Edited to this caveat: I’m sorry if I offended anyone from Texas/Arkansas/Louisiana! I promise that wasn’t my intention! I was just using that geographic area as an example. 

What can be really ridiculous in the south is the bows moms use in girls' hair.  I mean some of them are so big I don't know how the kid holds her head up.  And the bows get bigger as the girl grows!

I almost feel sorry for them, having to constantly be in full make up and nice clothes every time they go out.  I mean, imagine being Janelle and having to take a 16-hour flight back to Australia in a dress and heels.

Kelli got on a TCC  in season 2 for coming to uniform fitting in her regular clothes and no makeup.

Yes! Brittany D’Alesandro! I remember feeling that Brittany did have a cavalier attitude about that particular scene, and Kelli was SO nasty to her.  My biggest takeaway from it - if you are a normal person trying to juggle a normal life and all its messiness, you aren't going to make it in DCC land.

Brittany was late and got cut for that. She told Kelli she worked in a day care which was probably why she wasn't dressed up.

I believe she had been late before, too.  And to be honest, I thought she looked like she hadn't showered in a while.  Her hair looked greasy and dirty.

Jinelle 100% put on trackies, uggs and a hoodie the moment she got on that plane 🤣 Not sure how many every day folk know the DCC by sight in the US but here she would be just another pretty girl getting off a plane. No one would recognise her, therefore no need to stay in the dress and heels. I don’t want to wear dresses at normal times let alone on a long flight 🤣

Agreed. Dry shampoo, a brush, some mascara and lipgloss would have helped solve those problems. And imo, it’s not unreasonable to expect something close to game day hair and makeup when doing a fitting, especially for a “camera” day. If you’re already 20 minutes late might as well take two extra in the car for that fluff and puff. 

[DCCWhiteboard]

Re-watching S7.
 

Only Judy’s daughter would barely make the team as a Vet the be rewarded with teaching the TCC a dance and being made Group 1 Leader. I realize Cassie was recovering from surgery but again, no one else would be given that treatment.

Rewatching season 4 auditions on Pluto and I never noticed that you can see Megan Fox (assist choreo) in the top corner of the dance floor leading the dancers in semi finals DURING the audition. I don't know if she did it for every single set of five (that seems like a LOT of times), but you could see a few of the ladies in one group with their eyes on her (instead of facing forward) to see the steps. I don't know if that was SOP (or still is) for the semis, but just a little something I noticed in my millionth rewatch.

I noticed that too I think last year on Pluto.  Its the only time I've seen them being lead through semi's. They've never mentioned it before or since. Somehow I think they've always done it and still do - but they just don't show us?

Karissa made it so far in training camp and looked that weak going into finals ???  And Alyssa Torress demonstrates that many of them don’t believe the “ we have to try out every year to avoid complacency “.  Cause she says “ I don’t know what went wrong   And i thought I had a good year “.  Darlin. You bombed the interview.  That’s what went wrong.   And you weren’t the best dancer
