[Dal8las]

Also this vid which im pretty sure yall have seen..However, why??? I love Jenn C, but this aint it imo

The music is terrible Little Mix's worst song ever. Not only that it def exposed the soft serve girls Amy, Caroline, Tess etc that they have no flavor. The choreography is not that good either hahahah

It’s very cool it looks way better in person you actually get to understand it better 

Can't wait to see!!!!

Also, as much as TS is iconic I'm ready for a new song....it doesn't do anything for me anymore...The Ahhh AHHH AHHH does sometimes...however nothing else in that song does....

I would love a song like this!! hahahah I swear I would legit get kicked out for dancing to hard in the bleacher area, but like it gets me going...obvs they would have to chop and remix it a bit. So there isn't those awkward pause moments and make it a litte faster...but hello yall feel me. Also have to get Beyonce's ok and put new lyrics....Also, all 36 girls would actually have to be able to hit beats...so no Kashara's, Amy's, Holly's, Maddie's at point only Nicole Hamiltons, Mia, and Crystals... hahahah

I never knew that every kick of the kickline is to a cymbal crash.  It makes so much more sense why the choreo is what it is!

I'm pretty sure they add the cymbals to emphasize the kicks...

Hey that's the first time I've ever sat and watched the Thunderstruck dance. Ha I liked it.  I've never been a big fan of that song. It's probably my least favorite AC/DC song. The beginning is cool but I don't care much for the rest either.

Victoria MAY be out-dancing some of the rookies, but that isn't hard to do with the group currently there.  This rookie class was particularly weak and THAT is more on Kelli and Charlotte than anything Victoria did or is doing.  There are only a handful of really good dancers among the rookies and the rest are average or mediocre.  I count Victoria among the average and that's being generous for me. Unless I'm mis-remembering, only Ashley H was knocked out for something that could reflect badly on the DCC and that was due to rumors about a previous relationship and an offer to buy her a spot on the squad.  There were rumors about one or two others, but when there are 13 rookie candidates in camp and only what, 3 or 4 who are good-to-great, then that's a problem and a reflection on the management.

However, Victoria is NOT out-dancing the majority of the veterans and I'd even hesitate to say she's out-dancing the weaker vets, though it is certainly possibly she's doing so.  I'll wait to see how she's doing when we actually get video of her performing that ISN'T highly (and selectively) edited to see how she REALLY performs.

Exactly... VK has terrible technique and dances heavy, which is exactly what got Caila cut. Not that it would ever get VK cut. This much anyone can tell from the videos she has on her page. What I will give her is that she has a lot of energy and power, which is the only reason she looks good on the show. The only clip I watched of her dancing on the show was when she was dancing next to taylor and shaina. People kept saying she looked amazing but in reality she wasn’t finishing any moves and was dancing way too spastic and out of control in an effort to look “big and bold”. I guess it works and no fan in the stands is going to notice bad technique unless she reverts back to her old ways of dancing into other people’s space and bring some poor girl down with her. 

[SanDiegoGal]

Victoria is not the best dancer on the team or even the best dancer among the rookies. I respect that others have divergent opinions and see something different than what I see. What I will submit is that reality television is not designed to present reality; it's designed to tell a narrative. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've watched enough Real Housewives shows and Big Brother seasons to know that production can splice together scene segments to tell any story that they want. For DCC: Making the Team, this year's narrative is that Victoria is amazing, so those are the only scenes we are going to see.  For the average viewer, the narrative will work, but for anyone who chooses to investigate further (AKA - watch videos on Instagram), the narrative falls apart.

Thank you for the video! Can I ask though if they normally dance in a specific formation? They all seemed to be dancing on their own line and it looks like all groups look the same? It might just be me, but it looks really messy and it takes away from their dancing imo.

I think Kat is the fall guy to make VK look new and approved

I agree. I'm not sure if she's been told to make her personality bigger by TPTB or if it's all due to editing, but it clear that there's a lot of early focus on her. And there's really no reason for it. It's not like she out of all the rookies has had more hardship & sorrow in her life, nor is she this super exceptional dancer that out dances everyone else & just naturally draws your attention. If it was one of those things then the focus on her would at least make some sense. It could very well be that she was simply chosen to be the quirky, boisterous one to draw attention from VK which is not fair to her. If it were me, I'd hate to have focus put on me just to deflect from someone else.

She seemed a little crass asking Alexandra "why do you keep coming back?" during uniform fittings. It must sting a little to be on the receiving end of that question. You want so badly to be on this coveted team that keeps rejecting you, and then you have the director asking you why you keep trying. 

I don't know. That whole scene just sat weird with me. Especially knowing she gets rejected by the organization again. It's just got to hurt a little knowing you are never good enough for their exclusive little club.

Knowing what happens to Alexandra, that scene was very hard to watch. She seemed so happy to finally be in that uniform & Kelli had to bring the moment down. I mean on the one hand I get that Kelli uses those fittings for some one on one time with the rookies to get to know them & better understand their goals, but I think she could have worded it better.

Absolutely. A better question would have been something more along the lines of "what do you think is keeping you out of camp?" or "what do you think your struggles are?" 

It just seems like they love any opportunity to be petty and knock these girls down a peg

[Cowboysfan16]

This is just a random thought: I’m underwhelmed with this current squad, ANNOYED with the VK drama and over these new “two alternates” and “rotating point” systems. I want girls to make this squad that are straight up PERFORMERS. If a girl doesn’t quite have the look but she has the dance ability, she likely doesn’t make it to Finals let alone TC and that makes me mad. Agreed with the notation that we need more judges with a dance background. The cosmetic stuff can be changed.. the dance stuff likely cannot. TPTB really need to take a good hard look at the talent that comes out because this squad for the most part is SO bland. FTLOG add some seasoning. 

I mean is this squad telling of my thought that the DCC just isn’t what it used to be and this talent I want just isn’t coming out to audition? Idk maybe. 

Also, PLEASE DON’T WASTE OUR TIME BRINGING THE GINA MARIES INTO TC. Thank you.

The hardest part of going to training camp for technically trained dancers is getting past the finals. The judges at that stage do not have the background to recognize good dancers.

Ooh! Be safe!  Hopefully it won't do too much damage...

Regarding Pluto, how do you know Season 1 starts at 6:30pm??  I can only see the next 2 hours worth of programming.  I don't see ANYWHERE where I can look for future programming.  I sent them a message, but I haven't received a reply.   

Thanks!

If you look at the number, like tonight, it says 1006.

The 10 is season 10, the 06 is episode 6.

Thanks, it looks like most of FLA is going to be okay.

Thanks for the help, but...

I was talking about being able to see future programming... for example: 

"next Tuesday at 4pm will be Season 4 epidsode 5." 

Right now I can only see 2 hours worth of "future programming."

Did anyone notice who Travis selected as his favorites?  The show was edited as though Travis only noticed Victoria (and mentioned Lisa in passing) but there were quite a few girls selected:

- Victoria 

- Amanda

- Lisa

- Amy

- Maddie

- Caroline

- Amber ?

- Cianna (far end!)

- JALYN !!!

anyone else?

Of course she says it every year. The #1 reason why this show exists is to promote the brand and make money. Kelli is never going to say on camera that the talent or turnout are less than previous years. It would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

I don’t think it’s incredibly stupid to say the truth. Obviously I don’t expect her to say that the talent is getting worse, but she can absolutely leave it at “this is a really great group” etc. no need to call every single rookie group as the best one ever, especially when it’s absolutely not true.

I agree so many of the guest on the show saying how Victoria is the best is a bit far off. Granted she looks better this year. Amanda Lisa, Julia, Kristin and Alexandra are great dancers. When Amanda was dancing next to Victoria during the Travis wall shout out performance,  Amanda outshined Victoria. So I’m not getting this best dancer in the room. Don’t let Vet Gina hear because she’s pretty fab too. 

[EvergreenLove]

Nothing about Victoria's continued spastic dancing is pleasant to watch.  I don't understand all the gushing over her "improvements."  Honestly, it seems like all she did since last year's training camp was take more dance classes where she was treated as the second coming.

Longtime lurker coming out to say thank you for this, it was sweet! I'm in Stuart FL.   Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel is broadcasting from here the past few days, which means we have the big bullseye on us 😬.  Really enjoying reading this site this morning to keep my mind off of things.

Btw, the reason they took 37 is that two of them are alternates. 

OMG.. Alternates. I'm shocked and thx for the info. So am I to assume that the two that are considered alternates are the two that are sitting out games. Surely Rachel A isn't an alternate. I'm hoping that but would be the two alternates that rotate not an Veteran who is also a Show Group member. 

[hathorlive]

Dear god.  Travis Wall and his entire genre of dance can go away.   I wonder how much they pay him to come on and tongue-bath the DCC and VK in particular?  Travis, if you love VK so much, will you hire her to be in any of your dances?  Yeah, that's what I thought.

If the judges/guest choreographers and Kellie get any more poetic about Veruca, they will soon be reduced to speaking in haiku:

Travis Wall wisely

praises the whirling dervish

Spin on, corn cob girl

Somewhere, Vivian is writing a poem in quiet desperation.

I don't think that they would take someone on SG and Team if they couldn't finish the season.  (On the other hand, the attorney in me tells me that you can't fire someone just for being pregnant and given the Erica fiasco the DCC may not want to even get close to that situation and bad press.)

I think I read that a couple of girls were pregnant at the end of season but that's different than a girl that is pregnant now.

I also think its pretty unfair to the "alternates."  if a girl was preggers, you would only need one replacement -- not two -- AS can fill in for injuries.

I’ve been a hard core “Maddie is unattractive and soft and has absolutely no business being point” person. However, she looks great here. I think her long hair helps a lot. Maybe makes her face look less pudgy?

I think Kat was chosen as an "alternate" just so the squad would appear to be more diverse than it actually is.  So basically, they are using her and giving her very little in return.  Just my opinion.

The other alternate is Meredith.

So “insiders”, what is the latest and greatest with this year’s team dynamics?  Has VK been accepted yet?  Is she sincere with her teammates and they with her?  All her posts are super sweet and was wondering if that’s the true VK.  Also was mama Tina there at the squad announcement?

Well, everyone is kissing VK's ass right and left for fear that, if they don't, they'll end up on Kelli's shit list.  VK has a lot of power (and she knows it).
