2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers

[DanceProf]

Why would they not have practice last night and/or tonight?  I don't think I've ever seen them not have practice like this so close to the end of training camp/the opening preseason game.  Too weird.

Unless they are genuinely thinking they might take 37, and the extra "off" time will give the girl(s) on the bubble time to refine whatever it is she needs to work on, I find this to be torturous for those girls who know they aren't secure (which from what it sounds like, there could be several in that category).

Don't think they'd take 37.  That might be an odd # to make formations with.  I bet they're gonna go with 39 (again just my very uneducated guess).

I would be a wreck if I were a rookie. Like seriously, here take the weekend plus another two days, then  come back and we will decide. Why leave people hanging like that? It’s just mean

This might go to stamina....this is teaching the kickline before showing it to the judges...by the time the judges see it there is the 8-8 count routine then the kickline....Kat brings it here, but an hour later after practicing then performing, she was out of kicking steam to get them up....

They probably teach it that way on purpose to see who has the stamina to keep kicking/practicing so they can see who can keep up with a game.  I bet that's also why they have such long practices at night.

They don’t have 39 people left. Julia posted she was cut, confirming what simon told us.

I’m confused as to why they are dragging out cutting one more girl. It shouldn’t be that hard that they need extra days off to decide. 

Agreed 100%. They can make it easy by starting their decision-making process with anyone who falls out of turns. There. Done. Decision made.

[Teriyaki Terror]

On the weight and size issue, I remember when Callie Fulerton came back 5 years later and they tried to give her the same uniform for cameos. She even stated he body wasn't the same. I know mine wasn't from 18 to 23. 

[SingleMom9]

Maybe the last cut is Lisa and they didn’t want to do it on her birthday. Lol.  

I still think it’s gonna be a brunette.  Lisa, Meredith or Kristin but I think y’all know which is my choice.

Ok as someone who has been quite openly anti-Gina for point, i owe her an apology. I understand why they chose not to have her in the triangle-watch the Oxnard clip and it’s pretty obvious she looks out of place next to Maddie and Amy. Problem is, she looks out of place because she’s stronger than both of them. Plus, my main argument against was that I consider her unphotogenic but yeah, she still photographs better than both points. I hope she retires this year because honestly, if she didn’t get into this year’s triangle, no way she will next year when all current 2nd years will be up for point/triangle. Best case scenario she will have the exact same spot she had last year, so what’s the point for her?

That being said, why did they pick Lexie over Heather? Heather is more senior, more natural looking, a GL and much more powerful than Lexie.

I wasn't a fan of Gina, Tahsa, Savanna, or Kelli's looks

I don’t think if they cared if it was her birthday or not !! 

[UnicornKicksBack]

Yeah I want to know why Lexie and not Heather for triangle. 

[bupbupbip]

Guys, random question...

If there would exist the possibilitie tu cut Vk, who would you cut between this two, VK or Lisa?

I hate viruka, but i would cut Lisa

[tacosandtequila]

I would cut Victoria, because i know Lisa personally and know she is a wonderful person. Because the show hasn’t really mentioned her much, I’ll say a few things. She has flawless technique (turns, leaps, etc)., and Showmanship. She Is brilliant (4.0 GPA as a biochem major), and is pursuing a career as a PA. She has a heart of gold, and loves mission trips.  She is the type of person that would reach out to you during times of need, even if she hasn’t talked to you in 10 years.

It's funny how other forums think - FB thinks Victoria is "borderline too thin" and that we came up with Veruca cause of our "unattractive jealousy" due to trying out and not making it.

That’s fall back BS. Gina tried that when confronted about her “attitude”.  

When a female falls back on “oh they’re just jealous” it’s an easy way to not take responsibility for your behavior. 

TBTB have created a false narrative to make VK feel better and to protect her.

I agree with your point. Stamina was the issue later on.

Not that TCC Kat Puryear doesn’t have the flexibility, like TCC Taylor “I’m Barbie not Gumby”, or DCC Mackenzie Weeks, whom I intensely liked.

Gina was robbed, period.

Jalyn did not deserve to be out of SG.

Gabby did not deserve to be out of TC.

I cannot agree with these two statements more.

Knowing that Gabby isn't going to be there this season while, in my opinion at the very least, there are TC candidates that are weaker than her in looks, personality AND dance is incredibly disappointing to me.

And well, the fact that Victoria is on SG while Jalyn isn't speaks volumes so I don't think I need to go on a rant about that.

But guys! Remember when Gina was seen as "arrogant" and "annoying"? My, how times files!

I agree they should cut Veruca.  Oh wait.  I read "fall out of turns" and just assumed we were all talking about VK.  

[Pinknblue]

I don’t post much because everything has been talked out by the time morning comes for me, and invariably someone has already said exactly what I would have. So, sorry to be late on the hashing out of this but, from the Aussie contingent -

@SmpIsimon thanks for all your posts, you da real MVP!

Kelli LOVES a tall girl with long dark hair and blue eyes -- TCC Meredith, Kelsey Lowrance, Natalie Woods. I'm sure there are others I'm missing. It's why she hung on to stiff robotic Ashley Paige from the KC Chiefs for far too long.

She treated Ashley like crap, though.  I could tell she really wanted to be a DCC, but yeah, she was stiff. 

[onthebubble]

I am so confused why they would (potentially) not have practice two nights in a row at the end of training camp. If the final decision is so hard to make, wouldn't they want more time with the girls as opposed to less?

I also cant help but wonder - when / if the new squad is officially announced to the ladies, will we actually know about it? Or will they maintain that cone of silence that seems to have been prevalent all TC?

I actually think the real issue -- and it's hard to tell a woman this to her face -- is that she had no sex appeal. She was pretty but she wasn't sexy or even sexy-cute.

Yet, the way I see it; the body on the right appears more "natural".  Whereas when I look at the body on the left I see an anorexic and unnatural/plastic/surgically enhanced body. 

I like the body on the left personally if I had to chose one for my permanent body ;).  She doesn’t look anorexic or fake to me at all - she looks great and fit.    Maddie - she doesn’t have a good shape and isn’t even fit.  She’s what?  20?   And she’s on a squad of pro dancers who are supposed to be attractive and appealing to look at?  Just doesn’t look like a DCC at all.

Thanks for sharing this but for the record, you had me at ‘turns’.

TPTB are probably canceling practices to have more time to watch this board in order to decide the final cut XP

I find it interesting how every year and especially this year we kept hearing "This is the most talented group we've ever had." and now it's "Wow they suck."  It's went down from 600+ to 150, in a couple years I'll be able to roll out there in my wheelchair and make TC because so few will audition.  This isn't what it used to be and it's sad.

Well the DCC organization has no one to blame but themselves for that. Since I've watched this show I've learned that for all their gushing about sisterhood, teammates for life and churning out strong, independent women, there's a fair amount of judgement, cattiness and hypocrisy. And not just between the cheerleaders, but from TPTB, who, while they may claim that the organization is modern & woke, doesn't seem that far removed from values & attitudes that shaped the 50s. That could be a turn off to a lot of young woman.

You also have to consider that pay might have something to do with it. After Ericka spilled the beans about how little the cheerleaders make, that had to have dimmed the appeal a bit. I mean to work so hard & put your body through all that dancing, coupled with the long hours only to learn that the Mascot makes more & that some of them can't make rent on their own....that would certainly make me think twice about trying out. I think the show really pulled back the curtain on how things are run there & it could very well be that once people really started following the show & seeing what actually goes down, some up & coming dancers were probably like "eh maybe I don't want to put myself through that."

I know she is very well liked, but Meredith Oden is my vote for least attractive Dcc ever. That girl has a face for radio

I have met Meredith and not just at a meet and greet. She is stunning in person to say nothing about how photogenic she is. And her personality is fabulous. Zero drama, a team player, and funny to boot. I realize everyone has their favorites. But she is one of my all time favorites. She is kind and really went out of her way to spend time with me.

Here’s the deal about Ashley Paige. She used to be a technical recruiter in Kansas City (after DCC auditions). Kelli had alluded there was something off and perhaps unfriendly about her personality, and Kelli just went with her intuition. Kelli was 100 percent correct. Ashley called me for a job, had me drive to her office 45 minutes away because she had an “exclusive.” I get the office; she tells me in person about the job, and turns out I had already applied - she threw a fit in front of me because obviously she had been caught lying because another firm submitted me. She literally threw a tantrum, and her coworker tried to smooth it over. Next time he company called me, they told me she moved to Europe. So bottom line, she was unethical and spoiled. Not positive energy, DCC spirit. And Kelli caught on.
