2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers

[Christineelgene]

Because I have time on my hands, and have all seasons except #1, I thought I would do some checking (over the last few weeks) regarding weight gains and how they are addressed.

I was not able to find a single rookie who was not given the talk and the time to make improvements, including Holly and KaShara their rookie year.  Some did the work, and some did not.   I may have missed someone.

Vets who made it back to TC and had weight issues were also given the time to get it under control.  Vets who did not make it back because of weight gain, it’s their own fault.  They sign a contract and know what it says.  And yet they all act surprised when the axe falls.

I am neutral on VK and was not thrilled with some of the antics from last year, but I don’t think she got special treatment regarding her weight.  I do think she looks much better this year, and they photos of her from finals look good.

Hopefully Vic won't end up here again.  Just hope she isn't using any unhealthy means to keep her weight in check.

This was week 11 last season.

I'm hoping there is no pressure being applied from her mother or other "well-meaning" adults in her life.

Her stomach literally jiggled in some of the footage.  It looked bad.  I don't know of any other girl who would have been kept at week 11 looking like that.

Exactly. I could not agree more. Very well said!!!!! 

So many people have forgotten about grace (undeserved/unmerited kindness), yet so many people want grace when it comes to their bad decisions & mistakes, especially if these mistakes & bad choices are publicly  known. Which btw, happens to everyone at some point in their lives.

It just so happens that VK’s life is viewed by the public. And like most people nowadays, they seem to thrive on shaming others. 

Why is it that we (most people) look at ourselves & our decisions through rose colored glasses but look at others through a magnifying lens?!

Respectfully, that's not it all.  I'm not comparing myself to VK, I'm comparing her to the other girls who were cut for the least little thing.  She, on the other hand, gained 10+ pounds in training camp, lied about a disorder, lied about going to the doctor about said disorder, and when called on it, threw Jinelle under the bus.  Plus, she's an average dancer at best.  In the past, any ONE of those infractions would cause a girl to get cut and told to never return--not so with Victoria.  She will make the DCC this year, that much is known.  But, to me, she will always be an illegitimate DCC -- someone who only got the spot because of who her mom is.  

Keep in mind, they only take 36 girls.  That means some deserving girl is going to be cut just so VK can wear the uniform.  It's really sickening.

I REALLY hope VK has changed, agree with all that have said she looks better this year than last, and most of all that she EARNS her spot on the team. However, does anyone else think they've put her in group 1 laying the foundation for 5-6 years from now when she'll be G1 GL, point and retire having been in group 1 the whole time? Wasn't she group 1 last year? I'm guessing it's not a coincidence. But I'm also recognizing maturity from Amy as GL it's likely the best place for her, maybe? Amy likely has experience dealing with helicopter moms too...

I mean...even Cassie was a GL and in the triangle (both were absolutely handed to her) but never point. I’m not sure they would go as far as giving her triangle after all the backlash, so I hope they won’t make her point. I doubt she could even lead a group without getting in everyone’s space.

idk, it would take a lot more than just posting an opinion I might disagree with to have me lose faith in Marshall.  He's clever, professional, and kind, and if he honestly didn't believe that, then he'd have addressed it differently, or not at all.  I have no doubt whatsoever that he is perfectly well aware of how much shade he was going to get for saying that, and he did it anyway, which makes me admire him even more.  There are many dimensions surrounding Victoria's arc this year, and regardless of where her placement in it is, I think it's impressive that Marshall sees something there worthy of defending.  

I’m sorry, but he’s just a hairstylist. None of the dccs or hopefuls would ever be anything but kind and ‘gracious’ in front of him. He can say as much, but he has no way of knowing how any of these girls actually act or whether VK has ‘matured’.

And yet, they’ve cut VETS with much less weight gain. Buuut VK wasn’t handed anything! And let’s not forget that 5 year vet Angela was dragged for looking upset over SG while tcc VK dared to say she was upset for not getting SG. While being a mess and not even top 36, let alone top 12 or however many SG is.

I think he definitely sees and hears quite a bit, and for that matter, probably knows more about her than most people (both directly and indirectly).  I also think he is probably quite insightful and would be difficult to fool with a line of bullshit....even if she was so inclined, she wouldn't be throwing anything at him he hadn't already seen a hundred times before.  

Also, it doesn't make logical sense to me that Victoria would have the kind of sophistication it would take to create a believable kind of artifice.  Most of the kinds of issues with Victoria (attitude-wise) have centered around the fact that she can't seem to help but say many unfortunate things, loudly and at great length.  

However, the point I was trying to make didn't have anything to do with whether or not Marshall is right - that's honestly not something any one person can determine about another, it's just a singular perspective, no matter how informed or insightful he may or may not be.  I just honestly don't think that he's the kind of person who would fawn over someone for an artificial reason.

And not even a good one given the current state of the DCC looks right now...

So changing gears from VK talk, I'd love to know how Meredith is faring this year. She seemed really drugged out during auditions last year. I wonder if that was nerves or if she's like that this year...

The clip of her dancing in the SG auditions was not impressive.  IMO

[Kate2006]

Does anyone know if Tara, the vet that got cut, came back to auditions this year? I really wanted her to come back.

From the SG clip, her dancing isn't even close to field ready. I predict she'll be cut.

Her tummy also seems wide to me. She seems to be thin and not chubby, but her waist is wide. Not sure if she can change that or not. Maybe a waist trainer or something. Who knows. But her tummy just looks weird to me on the pics I saw of her. 

[DCC.Style.fan]

Hey it's been a while since I was active in this forum. I have to say, I am amazed at how quickly they have released half of the TCCs that won't make it. I remember last year the dang show started airing and there were still cuts to be made. Now its not even 4rth of July and there are only 4 more cuts. Just like I think the Cowboys are heading for an amazing season, I think the DCC will be amazing too!

I would guess that there were some complaints the cuts taking so long that some of the popular things, like the squad photo, were missed.  However, they could have cut some of the ladies earlier.

I sure hope Kelli makes the announcement this year in a surprise sort of way like she did every year except last year.  I have nothing against Charlotte but it didn't seem to be a surprise for her to come out on the field.  Or maybe it was.   I'm just seeing what is on TV.

I’m surprised Meredith hasn’t been cut yet 🙄 she’s bland to me and is square. Although I felt the same about Daphne last year and TPTB loved her

Agree.  Apologies Charlotte if you're reading this but your somber, lackluster "Girls...it's official...",  just wasn't as fun as the way Kelli has confirmed the squad in the past.

Sounds like you could be describing me.  Years ago at my very lowest weight (bordering on underweight), yep, waist still wide, there wasn't a thing I was able to do about it.  Besides the fact that I can't dance, Kelli for sure would have cut me for being "boxy" 🙂

My guesses are Amanda, Meridith, and Madeline S are the next cuts.

Amanda's developpe and her fan kick for SG auditions were very low compared to everyone else.

Meridith seemed was not on count and seemed blah during show group auditions. 

Madeline S didn't impress with the facebook video to grown woman. A little off count and not enough pop.

To be fair, Victoria also got a Barbie last year and was front and center all throughout training camp. Madeline S is a legacy so I am rooting for her---since Kelli has already made it clear that there can only be 1 legacy a class, if Madeline stays then Vikkie can leave.
