I think Jalyn looks stunning here. I acknowledge that her look isn't everyone's preferred look for a DCC, but that's one of the things I love about her. 

I always love the DCC who look a little 'different', those who are beautiful but not in a model-esque way. Jayln is one of those for me! Many of the 'Kelli-pretty' DCC have had bland personalities!

Just because they keep feeding us this very specific and repetitive narrative doesn’t mean that it’s completely accurate.  They control the footage and the edit.  

In other words, keep pushing the BS CMT, and we'll keep on believing what we see.  There will always be a Veruca supporter or two.  Some might even think she can dance.  But you can't fool all the people all the time.

Kelli has never even tried to get us to believe that.  Votes are opinions.  The judges opinions are taken into consideration.  Those votes are often referred to later, but again, not even KF claims it is a majority vote.

I know during team tryouts opinions are taken into consideration but the past few seasons they have showed them deliberating SG and then happy to get to the number for SG Kelli making a comment about something like okay here is our team .... Jackie Bob was a judge one year ....hmmm

We all knew Holly was a superstar because they showed it, all the time!  

If they had a dancer anywhere near her caliber, I believe we would be seeing it.

Wow so many post from last night .... it cracks me up that a 19 year old girl has taken over the topic of this thread.  There are other rookies and vets to talk about .... VK is a legacy and as long as she doesn't do anything stupid she is there until she is not .... 

Speaking of vets to talk about ... very curious about the Christina talk on Friday .... the girl barely made into camp wonder if Kelli is going say something to her about that .....

I agree Holly was a good dancer but her attitude changed .... When they interviewed her in the locker room after ... she said she knew what she did was wrong but enjoyed it and felt that her dancing was an asset to the team I had the feeling that she felt that even if she was doing things against the rules it should be overlooked because she was so good .... she was willing to keep lying until she could not and then had nothing to say .... I have known people who would lie and then tell a lie to cover that lie get caught and then rationalize why they lied be contrite and then do it again ... sorry but that girl was trouble and had to go and Jenna was lucky to have been kept for her last season

I agree about Holly. To me she always seemed very impressed with herself, acting like no one was on her level. Worse yet, in every picture, her expression was "I am yours for the asking". 

Before everyone starts on me, I know she was an amazing dancer, and a fan favorite, this is just my opinion, but even looking at her IG pictures  she looks like she is competing with Kalissa.

I'm tired of focusing on VK. My new mystery is- What does Kats natural hair look like, and why does she hide it under so many wigs?

Likely to protect it. Especially as a dancer,  her hair can't be washed and blow-dried/straightened every (or every other) day.

Doubt it. It's common to wear weaves or wigs for AA dancers.

I don't think VK is a bad dancer and she has improved from last year, but there is no way in hell that she's better than Jalyn. And as far as rookies go, VK is not better than Kelcey or Amanda.

And what have we seen of Kelsey to be so willing to believe she’s so good?   Besides her making show group?  They’ve showed just as much of VK dancing well than they have Kelsey.  A couple snippets of Thunderstruck and her solo?

Amanda looks good, but she isn’t a perfect dancer either -  she drops her releve and travels on all her turns.  Seems like a typical comp dancer to me, just like Jalyn is.

Wondering why VK isn’t at a school involved with dance. 18 and 19 for tryouts seem so young. With more experience, post grad, probably none of the drama around her would exist.  

Also, did Lacey (also young) go to college or begin a career while on DCC?

Lying doesn’t get anyone kicked off this team.  

My point is if they have someone who is a wow, they are not showing it.  

Because Jenna and Holly were great dancers 👯...they were not let go, even with all of the shenanigans.

Ok guys i havent watch the episode yet and i am already mad, i need some advices in order to handle it and watch calmly without anxiety this episode please, i know its going to be hard but damn, FUCK YOU KELLI !!!

I remember in past seasons that Judy said on some girl "i will fight for her..." to someone that kelli didnt like  and Kelli the B... was like 🙄 "dont try me..." and the girl ended being but from the final roster and that just shows that Kelli is a boss ass bitch ( and not meaning int he good way) who doesnt care about Judy's opinion, i think Judy in like the estrict mother of all of them who supports everyone, she is bitchy sometimes but not as kelli. 

Sorry im mad and sad por this whole Jalyn situation.

I don't think Cassie went to college either. To my knowledge she went from HS, to DCC, to married, and now mom.

Oh believe me, I know who and what Travis Wall is.  I like him.  Some of his pieces have brought me to tears.  But in their world, you get forgotten quickly.  You have to keep working it and increasing your audience.  When he was first on, many in our little family here didn't know who he was.  So, by being on DCCMTT, he definitely increased his name recognition.  So, yeah, I DEFINITELY believe he's kissing ass for screen time.

Wondering why VK isn’t at a school involved with dance. 

VK involved in NYCDA, they give away 4 year scholarships to Point Park University in Pittsburgh. I don't know if she is on level to receive one - but I know they don't seem to pay attention to body type. There are a lot of programs like that.

Mama Kalina mentioned she gave up such an opportunity to audition for DCC. 

Otherwise, she would not be accepted into any other serious dance program - eliminated for body type right off the bat. 

In theory, maybe this would have exposed her to different aspects of dance. From what I've seen, I don't think she would have gotten anything out of it.  If you think you are above corrections and seek only those who tell you, you are the best - then yeah, no. 

Has anyone seen the movie, "When the Game Stands Tall?" It's about the "streak" of a California football team.  That school runs a very special program that consists of a lot of training and brotherhood, and the whole "TEAM" aspect.

The wife of one of the coaches runs her own dance school.  It's a comp school - but it has a strong ballet program too. It's technique based.  This school runs its program like the football team. No solos, very team based.  It is the one school that I have seen where bullying is almost non existent and the mom drama is nil.  I have admitted my daughter was a hopper - or a "follower" - she danced wherever it was convenient.  She commuted a lot for school, so I would move her from dance school to dance school - where ever we could fit in opportunities to dance.  One summer she took a junior college class in a neighboring town and this school was nearby.  She did their intensive, and I really wish she could have stayed on.  She learned a lot technique wise and just - mental health wise - it was a great school. I wish they all could be like that. Most dance schools - your classmates are treated with wary and as competition.

She's a very good, technical dancer. And has a unique, pretty look. They really haven't focused on her much, but what they have shown has been great (with the exception of the memory mistake on material they just learned). I'm a fan.

Seeing VK's lack of self awareness, I'm shocked she wasn't home schooled.  She doesn't seem to have the ability to see herself and her actions reflected in her peers.   I think that's what Kashara was saying last year when she told K/J that she just said stuff and Kashara was like "do you ever listen to what you say?"  If she'd been part of a team focused dance school, she would probably have better social interaction skills.   But seeing how she's been raised as the center of the universe, it can be hard to learn these skills later in life.  I feel for the team mates who will be expected to overlook her awkwardness.

Same here. The promo showing Christina in the office was the only thing to distract me from being ticked off on Jalyn's behalf. She must have done something because there's been no mention of her on the show since her snafu in the interview. I can't even recall if there was a mention from any of the insiders of her being called into the office on any of the earlier pages.

From what they have shown of her already, and from K & J's comments on Kelcey, prove her to be a better dancer than VK. But hey, to each their own. If you think VK is a better dancer than Kelcey, that is your opinion. I don't see it and she has not been proven to be better than Kelcey by what I've seen of her dancing.

It was her signature move, but I don’t think TPTB are really interested in subtlety or nuance—which she could also do very well. When they fawn over Amy, (she’s darling and has a great personality for cheerleading, definitely) girl’s technique is... not good. Full stop. They’re want flash in a pan, power, and projection. Which is great. They’re cheerleaders, they should. Holly’s ability and control was bananas. Soooo good. I think she showed off cuz she was bored. Just a guess. And she could. Big fish, small pond. I don’t think there’s anyway she’d malfunction on purpose. She’s TOO GOOD. Taking the spotlight away from what she does best would be so beneath her, and frankly insulting to a highly trained dancer.

There are many kids who have been expelled from schools across the country for wearing an afro or braids to school.  Some schools have no "ethnic" hair clauses in place, which is a racist ideal that straight, relaxed hair is natural, when in fact it is not.  People should wear their hair how ever they want and not be forced to chemically process it for some one else's ideal.

This white girl would be up in arms if I found out a local school was doing this---not acceptable at all.

Anyone else think that if Jalyn auditions again next year this could be used against her to make next years training camp?

Yes. 

Let's be real, if Jalyn did anything negative during the previous year she would have been cut like Gabby. But Jalyn's 'offense' was after training camp started and because Kelli is a vindictive witch, she will use it against her if Jalyn tries out for year 3. If I were her, I would not be back.

I could see VK holding on fo rat least 6-7 years. She literally has NOTHING else to do. Her whole life was for this. But I could see TK finding a nice rich man so little ole VK would never have to work a day in her life.

This is very true and a similar path that Cassie took. She may end up like Lexie and get married and stay on the team, but Vikkie is going to have to marry up if she wants a nicer life because Lord knows that girl is never getting a career of her own.

It may be in the rules, but it's not enforced. That said, Vikkie was taking classes at the local community college---she could still be doing that.

Maybe Kelli's daughter has seen how her mother has been consumed with DCC and doesn't want that kind of life herself. Maybe she wishes her mother would have spent more time nurturing her and helping her to become whoever she was meant to be rather than putting her whole life into the DCC. 

Kelli's daughter can't dance. If Sam F. had any dance ability of musicality, I firmly believe she would be Cassie 2.0 and Vikkie would be no one. But, Sam F. can't dance and therefore was replaced by Vikkie.

Victoria has technical training and she’s not the first 18-19 year old to make show group.   A lot of the girls have a lot of pro dance experience before making DCC - in fact the DCC rejects plenty of very experienced pro dance girls and girls w/ dance degrees.

And goodness - they took other new people into SG outside of VK.   Why aren’t we taking about Jalyn versus Rachel A or the other two rookies?

Well, beyond the fact that Jalyn's name was crossed out for Vikkie's; Vikkie isn't a stronger dancer than Amanda or Kelcey so she couldn't have beat them. To be honest, I'm surprised Vikkie made it over Lisa.

Travis Wall knows VK from all the dance classes he's had.  Little girls like VK pay his salary and give him funds to do projects.  Of course he's going to talk up VK.  If she does well, he'll get more little dancers into his classes and make more money.  If Travis truly like the way she danced, why hasn't he offered her a job in one of his gigs?

Because she'd have to actually be good, take corrections and have proper technique. 😜

I know Jalyn is a great DCC cheerleader. Something tells me she irks Kelli and Judy. My heart believes it is a personal issue that would sound petty for either of them to voice. Like others, I almost forgot she was on the team because she is rarely featured this season. Is it possible she showed dissatisfaction when group leaders were announced? Did she say something ignorant about one or both of them that got back to them? What an uncomfortable situation. Everyone in that room knew why Jalyn was being called into the office. I don’t know what I would do in her position. Hate to believe they would cut her a returning SG candidate to make room for three TCC’s. It would be less dramatic to cut one of the TCC’s. This is why I think it is personal.
