All Past Seasons of the Late Lamented Show

[StellaCL]

Well, sheesh, I didn't realize I was so into this topic - I've been posting a lot today.

That being said - how is TARA (season 13) not on this list yet?

They cut her because her spray tan was too muddled and her blonde hair was less white blonde. I mean the three pounds she may have gained wasn't even a thing. They gave her a bit of the Hannah A. treatment, finding the one clip or two where she messes up. In the previous Season 12 clips, she was killing it. If they didn't like her look, they could have easily fixed it. But instead TPTB didn't want to cut more rookies, and Tara was sacrified because of it.

I never understood why Katelynn never made the DCC - not even Training Camp.  She danced on the LSU Tiger Girls with Tess, Khalyn, Cersten, Erica and her kicks were as high and pretty as Lacey's.  She was tall, gorgeous, long legs, high kicks. She was even profiled during Finals, but then her number was never called.  They've taken so many more RANDOM girls whose kicks sucked, who didn't have "the look" or needed a makeover, or had no previous dance experience.  They said her hair was too dark (!?) and that was it. 

I truly thought it was weird editing and that there was more to the story behind the scenes.  Curious if anyone else knows.

Totally agree... she was an AMAZING dancer with a pretty face and great shape.....seems like something is definitely going on here with TPTB and it’s likely something petty

Katelynn (season 12) was a Tiger Girl at LSU, as were Cersten and Keyra. Cersten was already on the team, and Keyra (good friend of Cersten) made it that season. I dunno, maybe CERTSEN had something to do with Katelynn not making it? Just a guess!

I never understood why Katelynn didn't tryout again since it was her dream from a young girl to be a DCC (seems fishy), but maybe she did, and they didn't show it.

Sidenote - I always like Keyra, and felt like they used her in Season 13 fully knowing they were going to cut her. Judy never liked her, and Kelli didn't after she was tardy to 2 appearances during her rookie year. The didn't have enough grace ahead of time to let her know they were going to cut her, instead they exploited her as much as they could for a storyline up until TCC announcements.

Probably got too skinny, and like Milan said in that podcast ep, whatever they weight you at in your rookie year - that is your expected weight until you leave.

I would say Cersten and Erica cause "petty" was their middle name.  However, the coach of the Tiger Girls is Denise DiChiarry, who is a guest choreographer, so Kelli may have asked her for a reference as well.

I didn't understand this one at all, she was great!

K&J didn't like her look. She didn't look DCC enough, no matter how they tried to adapt to it. Her kicks not being high enough was a weak excuse so they didn't look over-the-top superficial. In clips that viewers saw of Taryn, her kicks and dancing always looked great.

Yeah I liked her and didn't get this cut either.

This has always bugged me. It should be whatever weight you were accepted for that year. For example, someone becomes a DCC at 110. But the next year their weight is (GASP!) 115 and they are accepted by the judges at that new weight.  You should have to stay at 115 for that year, especially for anyone who is a long termer (4-5 years).  I would expect from ages 18 to 23/24, there would be small weight fluctuations.

Remember when they got mad at Meagan Sharp for needing a bigger pair of shorts?  She was 3 years older.

Unpopular opinion - I have never understood the buzz behind Meagan F chewing out K & J. Like suck it up. You got put through training camp because you deserved (?) to be there. That doesn't mean that you make the team. You may get cut and you go into training camp knowing that regardless of it being your first or third or sixteenth time there.  Maybe it's because I didn't see the season in real time or something but I have just never understood the hero worship she got for her comments.

For me, I found it refreshing to see a girl show some actual emotion and personality, rather than just saying "yes ma'am" and taking it. Kelli and Judy were used to running the ship their way, and the girls all falling in line, so it really caught them off guard that there was a girl in front of them showing some backbone and giving them a piece of her mind. That's why I loved it.

I just wish we could have seen the final office visits of Amy Reese, Mandy Voecks and Erica Wilkins. I wonder if any of them had a Meghan Flaherty moment.

I don't remember where I heard this, and I don't know if it's true or just speculation, but I heard it's because the DCC you noted who were Tiger Girls (and maybe Denise Dicharry) weren't thrilled with Katelynn leaving Tiger Girls for Golden Girls, and that's where her bad recommendation came from.

If I remember correctly, Kelli thought that she hadn't improved enough at auditions from the last time she was there, yet she still made it into Training Camp (pressure from Charlotte?).  I also remember hearing that she was "talked into" auditioning again and most of the promises made weren't kept.  I don't know if she got a big head and thought that, because she was brought in a third time that she was guaranteed a spot and didn't try as hard or if promises were made that weren't fulfilled, but Kelli deserved the talking to then and she deserves it even more now.

Well Judy even said sometimes they say yes ma’am cause it sounds like a good answer , but then they don’t do what’s recommended. Looking at you ikea.  If you are told to smile when you dance, smile

She might have been like Melissa W and just passed over at first because of figure.  Interesting to me who they focus on for that storyline, like LA Katy who killed it for dancing but they couldn’t get past her waistline. 
 

Like maybe they respect the local girls and tell them through the grapevine what they need to fix, tho I assume both Melissa and Jenn knew they weren’t uniform ready that first time but wanted to shoot their shot anyway. 

I keep looking for Melissa in season 8 either in prelims or semis and I never find her. I know that when K, J & Charlotte were going over the prelim girls (which I think is BS and all for the camera) it looked like Charlotte thought Melissa was thick but her dancing was so incredible they moved her to semis, finals and then TCC.  Melissa did have a more womanly firgure but she wasn't fat at all. I thought she had a fantastic body.

The only reason I don't like Jenn A (not Alexis, I like her) is because she comes across (to me) as cocky and really full of herself like Lacey Minchew. It's not as obvious as Lacey but it just bugs me. She's a great dancer, but not the second coming or whatever K&J thought. She's totally trying for Kelli's job. New blood in the director's chair might be a very good thing right now.

All of the above plus Megan Michelle, Kali (not Fullterton), Colin (her exit interview was heartbreaking), Lily, Tara (vet cut in season 13)

That could be true, but I just felt that they had no intention on actually giving her a chance. It seemed like they were especially cruel with her cut.  I was just proud of her for speaking up instead of the same "thank you for the opportunity" things some girls say.

I'd like to also add blonde Jenna. She came back and looked fantastic and didn't make it back to training camp. Out of all the cut vets that try back out she was one that totally deserved it. 

Also, Chandler's cut bugged me. It was like Kelli didn't have any issues with her until her good buddy TK called her a grandma. After that, Chandler had no chance in hell. She was adorable and had a banging body. 

Btw, I just want to tell all of you about how happy I am that I've found this place. I have no one I can talk DCC-MTT with so this has just been wonderful. You guys are great!!

It’s interesting how we all perceive people differently. I fully respect your thoughts on Jenn A but I don’t recognize this attitude. To me, she was actually quite refreshing as she displayed maturity which is something the team needs. The few bits I have seen her teach (online) appealed to me too. There were others that year I’d happily give the cocky-tag...

Exactly. I get not wanting any fluctuation in a season. A lot goes into fitting that tiny little scrap of fabric they call a uniform. But most of these young women are at the age between the teenage "I can eat anything and just burn it off in a hot minute" to adult "I used to be able to eat anything I want but now it sticks around a lot longer than it used to". They're still growing and changing. It is unrealistic to expect them not to change at all over the years.

I felt bad for Chandler because, yeah, she had a great body, she had a great personality and from what I can remember danced well (I don't know about that unless they are obviously in over their heads or the most amazing thing ever) but something about the structure of her face, especially when she smiled, made her face look super old, like her face didn't match her body.

I also thought that one they thought had the cheek implants whose name escapes me right now, also looked to be in her 40s, or a really well preserved 50. Great body but she just had an old face. Colby? was that her name?

In the normal world they might not look as old, but when you're putting them next to 18,19 year olds, they just look a lot older in the face.

She changed so much to me between seasons 8 and 9. Her rookie year she was super skinny, yes, but she also had very natural hair, no extensions, soft curls, lighter makeup, and overall looked very naturally pretty. Season 9, she had awful extensions and super tight curls at the ends, makeup caked on her face, it looked like she may have gotten a nose job (and a bad one at that), and looked super snobby in every shot.

Couldn't agree more about Jenn A. Like you say, she's a great dancer but she's no Melissa W/Holly P/Megan C/Olivia R (my absolute faves). Even Hannah and Samantha were better than her from her rookie year. She's a clean, smart dancer, which is what K&J love. However, she's very DCC in all ways. 

She rubbed me the wrong way when she didn't like Brennan at that field practice (think it was her 2nd go at TC). Hold it right there, pal! From then on, when I watched from her rookie season, she got on my nerves. She always seemed to be the 'go-to' vet for everything. 

The only thing I liked about her was her maturity. I usually root for 'older' rookies (instead of those fresh out of school) because there's never enough of them (like there was in the early MTT days).

Her choreography is typical DCC style too so if I wanted to be a DCC, I'd be at her prep classes every week. I imagine she passes through info to K&J about vets that look weak or rock-star potential rookies.

Because Kelli DOES NOT UNDERSTAND realistic. Personally I've always said if she thinks its "maintainable" for a girl to have the same weigh from when they are a teenage to adult then she needs to look at her own body. Shes not as skinny as she was then but she expect the girls to maintain it. I can understand Judy saying it, Judy hasn't gained as much weight as Kelli. But even saying that both does not need to fit in the uniform now.

 

Kelli talks about body weight why don't she (as she once told Jenna) "lead by example". So she loose her own body weight that she gained in the last few years and then talk to the girls about their own weight.

Kelli is now post menopausal where getting that weight off is not at all easy. I think she's put on a few pounds a year during the MTT years. And she dresses too young for her age...makes it look worse.

I always see this mentioned but what did she specifically say that rubbed you (and others) the wrong way? I guess I don’t see how she described it much different than others have. There is also interviews in different seasons with Mackenzie Lee talking about show group being the “A team” and Lexie saying “everybody wanted to be on show group”.

Right? Every time I see that scene I'm like "but your mother is the team choreographer, wouldn't she have at least mentioned that you should practice the freaking one thing the team is most known for?" Of course, I also wonder, when any of them say they are scared because they've never done the jump split why they haven't ever tried it at home. I know they don't have anyone to do it with but it is something they can practice on their own and if I were trying out for a team where the jump split is done every single performance I'd be sure I could do it before I got there. Of course I'd also be sure I could do a good kick and a proper split and I'd probably take some dance classes. It always astonishes me when some of them admit to having very little dance training. 

That's why I feel like a lot of them try to make the team just to be on the show to get exposure to launch their social media careers. Because if you are serious about making the actual team you do the pre-training work, classes, limber up, get in shape. 

I forget who it was but one girl who didn't make it through finals I think, interviewed that she should have taken some dance classes before trying out and I was all "wow, how dumb are some of these girls?" because if you're going to a dance tryout (and lets face it, this is more a dance try out than a "cheer" try out) you should maybe know how to dance properly. 

Right?? I would have known the entire kick line. I would have YouTube’d and practiced and they wouldn’t have even had to teach me that. While watching this I’ve always wondered that.

Her critiques are better than 'sloppy', 'noodle-y' or 'crispy bacon'. 

Exactly.  She gives good and specific feedback.  Unlike Judy, who usually just says "do you know what you did wrong there?"  <eyeroll>

I think Kashara is like that too in personality, but didn’t have the sporty cute thing like Maggie, Christina, etc. 

Kashara's problem is the make-up they cake on her.  When they show some candid shots of her when she was younger, she looked adorable.  The DCC make-up ages her by ten years, at least.

This.  I don't think Megan thought she was entitled to make the team.  I think she just thought they brought her back knowing full well they would cut her, probably for tv drama.

In addition to what KnyghtRyder stated, (from Fandom) "She was not included in the group office visit for the veterans who received weight criticism at the cameo shoot, despite her being one of the ones criticized for weight. This, and her pseudo-confessional from the season introduction suggests she had her own (unaired) office visit where she was cut or resigned during the events of episode 5.6. Additionally, all of the scenes from that episode of candidates waiting for their office visits are close up shots, further supporting her being edited out."

[vanillagum]

every time i rewatch season 9 and see shannon, i get so sad. she was so lovely and seemed more well spoken than 97% of anyone who's ever tried out on this show

also, i get chills anytime i see melissa wallace do literally anything. what a queen. best dancer this show/team has ever had. for me, personally, she edges out holly because holly does the overly sexy thing (which is cool but just not my thing) while melissa is more fierce and powerful as hell. what a goddamn TALENT

every time i rewatch season 9 and see shannon, i get so sad. she was so lovely and seemed more well spoken than 97% of anyone who's ever tried out on this show

also, i get chills anytime i see melissa wallace do literally anything. what a queen. best dancer this show/team has ever had. for me, personally, she edges out holly because holly does the overly sexy thing (which is cool but just not my thing) while melissa is more fierce and powerful as hell. what a goddamn TALENT

I don't know if Shannon would have made the team but I would have loved to see her in TC. 

Ditto your comments on Melissa Wallace - smart, educated, gorgeous and an amazing dancer. Total package. 

Holly came off slightly entitled to me (but if i had that body and could dance, I probably would be just as entitled lol)

she's definitely someone who'd been told they're omg so amazing their entire life. especially since she's from small town missouri. big fish in a small pond for sure

and yes, i would've loved to see shannon in TC :(

Okay does anyone know where Lacey went to college during DCC? Did she even go or was she like VK going to a community college?

Got it. She went to DBU and don’t know for how long and from when.

Abigail Klein interviewing Tina

I wish the quality and sound of this video was better, but it’s soooo old.

Wild if true but sadly I'm not surprised. Bummer to see her going down the plastic surgery route; I thought she was one of the most gorgeous DCCs ever during her short tenure. I also thought her dancing came across really unique for some reason. Wish she stuck around for a bit and moved up the triangle.

So confused what this website is calling her out for. Seeking Arrangements is designed for people looking for a sugar baby arrangement. Yes, it's sad that she's on the site, but I wouldn't exactly call it salacious gossip

Kelli is now post menopausal where getting that weight off is not at all easy. I think she's put on a few pounds a year during the MTT years. And she dresses too young for her age...makes it look worse.

Someone needs to tell Kelli she needs to stick to her Season 1 weight or shes at risk of losing her light switch that she loves turning off so dearly  🤣  Maybe  she can reach out to My Fit Foods or book in a few sessions with Jay 

The thing is Judy IS similar age to Kelli and the difference is Judy looks similar in weight thro the years. Kelli on the other hand .... gained and gained and gained. If Judy had gained some weight over the years, like older women do, as age goes, then understandable but when Kelli and Judy are on the tv year on year on year, and both shown to not be "hands on" in the choreo and is shown sitting mostly due to job and one is shown to be gaining weight and the other not ... LOL. 

 

Yes it maybe a tv show with scenes created for drama ... but Kelli needs to "lead by example" look at her own weight before talking about other girls weight.

This.  I don't think Megan thought she was entitled to make the team.  I think she just thought they brought her back knowing full well they would cut her, probably for tv drama.  

Because she was brought on for the tv drama. Same way that the Minchew sisters was brought on for the drama the year they were on with their pageant. And Kelli was the one who said one or two years later that she Judy and Charlotte have a conversation in private before announcing the numbers they have those talks to PROTECT the brand. Kelli is "protecting" the brand by selling herself and the cheerleaders for her own gain. 

 

I am even surprised that Shelly is still friends (and work colleagues) with Kelli after what happened with Dayton. Sorry Dayton may not be the most polished/best dancer in TCC or as a DCC but between her and VK, lets be honest at least she can dance better than some people who made TCC and DCC. Even we all know Dayton was brought back for drama her second year. Dayton, in the eyes of Kelli, was never going to make it into the team we all know that, even if she hadn't been late for her make over I don't think Kelli would allow more than one legacy on the team anymore. last time two legacy was on the squad at the same time was Meredith Oden and Cassie Trammell ....

Holly came from a small town and I think her "entitlement" came from that. She prob was the "most famous" person from that town tv wise and the fact her dancing was strong and she knows it. I think she came across like that since the day she auditioned her rookie year, it just didn't show as much until that year she quit. If you watch her closely her rookie year you can see a little bit of her entitlement. Kitty was praising her since her rookie year etc.
