I'm hoping Heather gets pro bowl this year, and I would love to see Bridget or Caroline as point next year.

Obviously TPTB don't value my advice any more than the famous choreographers, or else Gina would be point.

[cherryblossom]

Yes, i thought it was odd that Kelli brought her pastor.  I could see him perhaps on a panel with a counselor but not solo.  If he is Kellis pastor then I guess she is only going with hubby to temple on high holy days.

Also sorry but Maddie is genuinely likable. She’s becoming more and more glamours in the episode her interview I was like wow she’s turning into a gorgeous lady. Also she’s freaking hilarious! The dictator thing? That was genuinely truly funny and real. I hope she finishes her five years and then you all can have Gina for a year. 

I completely agree. She is coming into her own.    She’s worked hard to get to where she is and I love her at point.   She is definitely getting more beautiful the older she gets.  I take offense to the bad 80’s perm, I have hair just like her and people are always telling me they are jealous of my hair.

Well then you must definitely be a princess because Phil said only very special people got to go in there!  😀  It must have been a wonderful experience.  (This is a real compliment--no snark intended.)

Maddie and VK have a lot in common.   Fans either love them or hate them.   But they are like a Timex.  They take a licking and keep on ticking.  Will serve them well in life.

Maddie does look better to me this year.   I hope for her solo next year she does something besides her version of hip hop.   She's better than that.

LOL my husband actually won the tickets through the Dallas Morning News.... I’d kill him if he ever paid cash for those seats. They’re ridiculous. 😂😂😂😂 

It was fun but it was soooooo Dallas. Everyone dressed up like a fashion show, trying to be seen, skinny women everywhere engaging in competitive non eating. I wore my Troy Aikman jersey and pigged out on a lobster roll. That was actually the best part..... the lobster roll.

If you go to Instagram, you'll see that Hannah posted a story where the show group girls are playing a game on the bus.  You'll notice that all the girls are  together except Victoria, who is sitting in the corner.  Daphne also posted on a story showing a bunch of the vets but no VK.

I did not see the first 15 minutes of the show and judging by the comments, that’s a good thing.

That said, I do wonder what it does for the sisterhood when those who make the team find out that the GLs essentially voted against them. I would think there would be hurt feelings and mistrust. 

I'm sure watching this is hurtful for some of these women. And while some of MTT is truthful, we all know everything is edited to provide maximum drama. So much is manipulated, exaggerated, and intentionally omitted in order to push certain story lines. Do DCC have watch parties? I would love to know how they feel seeing their lives played out on tv. Well, maybe just the featured ladies since about the rest of the DCC are ghosts and barely shown or spoken about. 😛

She lost three friends.  If it weren't for TC, she may have been with them.  It was on national news, all over social media, etc.  She probably had constant texts, messages on SM, etc.  She might have been expecting to just come to practice and not have to think about it, if that makes sense.  Just focus on what she needs to do.  And maybe what Kelli did was too soon??

When and where did this crash take place?  I've only heard about it on this board.

Maddie literally grew up dancing in her mom’s studio yet people say VK is the entitled one.   She had access to a studio and personal dance feedback 24x7, and her technique is still poor.   I guess she’s approachable and cute, yes, and is good at fake hip hop, tricks and the DCC style, but she doesn’t look like a DCC which is what my biggest issue is with her being heavily featured in performances and photographs.  

VK is plenty approachable and seems very outgoing and fun.  She just has that kind of look that makes other women jealous - tall, blond, bold - the kind that turns men’s heads and gets attention.   It is what it is.  

So you are saying that maddie's technique is poor, then you said she is good at hip hop tricks and DCC style... 

Maybe Maddie is not fan favorite bc of her looks, but she talented as hell and she deserves where she is now and has a lot of fans on insta so yeah people outside this forum definitely loves her... and also men, but that doesnt matter.

I'm not a dancer, so I cannot comment on Maddie's technique except to say that for me, she always looks strong, precise and entertaining.  Of her dance ability, I will that - I think without exception - all of the guest choreographers consistently single her out as a favorite.  As far as her looks, I think she's cute as a button and has stayed true to herself - something not many are able to do.

OK.  She's too fat by DCC standards.  I was trying to be nice.  She would be an unhealthy weight struggler.  I would love for her to try out someday, but it's not even worth it unless they change their standards and she and Kelli both know it.

I wish DCC would change their standards. I wish the standard would be that if you need to have an eating disorder and be 20lbs below your healthy weight, then they will size up the shorts!  When I see a muffin top, I don't see a problem with the woman, I see a problem with the uniforms.

Are you serious?  Hannah with her shitty hairline and pasty skin; Daphne’s small head and emaciated body; and Rachel A’s nineties soccer mom hair and thick frame all look more DCC than Amy and Maddie?  

It has to suck that mom’s hotness went to her brother.  

Yeah I always feel sorry for siblings when one is really hot and the other isn't . Kelli's son is more attractive but it's harder to compare when they are two different genders. Those bushy eyebrows don't look good on women and Sam's eye shape is prettier and rounder when her brother's eyes are narrower, however his lip shape and hair thickness is better. Also, when you put them side by side he and Sam actually look a lot alike and Sam does look like Kelli.

However, if Sam wanted to be DCC ready all she'd have to do is lose weight, get her eyebrows professional threaded, shaded and maybe microbladed in one or two areas if necessary and she'd be more than fine.

Tina K. wouldn't like Sam F. Her smile is "too gummy".

Edited September 29, 2019 by Muckypup61

[kerrieway]

Madeline is pretty, not stunning but pretty. The thing is that she has such a short, round/wide, and childlike face that anything besides a thinner frame/ face leaves too much fat in her face and makes her look cherub-like and not as attractive. One of the reasons that the long" wild" hair makes her look better is because it frames the face, making it look longer and narrower and tones down some of the chubby/less defined features in her face. This is also why she looks better when she's not smiling wide and not smiling at all actually, her eyes get narrow/squinty and almost disapper, her lips get thinner, her smile gets a little gummy and her face looks a little too full and less attractive. However, her full face is great for anti-aging, she will continue to get prettier with time.

Lisa has so few stickers she even has less that Shaina.  What is the point of wasting peoples time to put the stickers on if Kelli just turns around and does what she wants.  

This just proves to me that TC is a joke. TPTB already know who they want and even if you are the most talented in the group, if you aren’t liked by them,  then they send you packing.

TC used to be no joke, but the DCC are now nothing more than reality television fodder, which has made it a joke.  

[PrincessLeia]

I’m just more pissed off.... Lisa doesn’t get any stickers from the group leaders, which is a HUGE red flag. The four women who are leaders this year are great women.... they aren’t petty, so if they didn’t give Lisa stickers, there’s a damn good reason and Kelli is a fool for ignoring it. 

Julia was seriously ROBBED. What a freaking joke.

[TB12]

I thought Kelli was sooooo nasty to Shaina when she was thanking her for the pastor visiting. She just stared at her like she didn't understand what she was saying. I'm sorry Kelli, what you didn't get the big emotional scene from Shaina that you hoped to get for CMT? The poor girl lost three of her friends tragically its for her to grieve not for you to capitalize on... i'm sad at how i'm seeing Kelli morph over the past few years perhaps its her age and the IDGAF anymore i'm going to be who i'll be, it's just ugly and lacking GRACE...

They know exactly who they're going to take at finals as the final 32-39 but drag it on for the sake of the reality show.   Plus they probably have their share of "recruited" ladies.  I wonder what kind of kickback the Cowboys get for letting CMT film?

Abigail Klein, Sarah Shahi and Jill Marie Jones are a few former DCCs who have had success in Hollywood.  Maybe they're the reason Kelli "used to get offended" or whatever she said about women who used DCC as a stepping stone.  If anything she should use it as a selling point to DCC hopefuls.  'We're a finishing school for future stars'  LOL.

Or "Finishing school for future Real Housewives of Dallas". 🙂

She's in all the other group shots from that trip - on several Instagram stories. I don't think she's feeling left out at all.

Who is in the back with her body turned in entirely a different direction? Is that VK  I really can't tell. Thanks!

Never mind - I watched the video. Wow - she is always just slightly different from the rest.

Yeah I don’t think she’s being left out either. In the video on Hannah’s story it looks like they are all playing a game which involves writing something on a sheet of paper and it looks like everyone including VK (who was next to Maddie) looking down and writing.

I also notice in the Bucee's pic on Daphne's Insta that VK is absolutely in the back.  Funny how in the organic (no Kelli around) setting, VK ends up where a rookie should end up.  Hmmmm.

Of course she was.  If she was truly concerned about Shaina's grief, she would have set up private counseling, or not have had it filmed.  Doing it in the way she did was truly "jumping the shark".

Madeline M. looks really pretty in this.  She always seems to stand out to me when wearing red - I remember some shots from a Christmas performance in that Santa suit and she looked just gorgeous.  It must be her color.

All their dancing looked great.   They probably picked them for their body type and them being good at that style. 

Sounds like they will do more of these in other styles that other girls excel in.  Or maybe it could even be things like singing or musical instruments.

Think it's a dark brunette thing. I'm the same, any shade of red is my colour but bright red is my best!

I am not a trained dancer, and I can see oh so many mistakes in VK’s  dancing. And just to be clear, I am not a fan. But I certainly don’t hate the young lady. I just hate that we are being forced into the narrative that she is not only THE comeback girl of the millennium, but she is also par excellence.  

 They did the same thing when Maddie came back her second year. There were clearly mistakes being made, but they would literally highlight other girls on the other end of a row or the kick line to draw attention away from the mistake she was making. Victoria looks better this year, she’s clearly a more mature dancer than she was last year, she has the DCC style down (which is not a surprise). If it just was a simple she worked hard, still makes mistakes, but she clearly deserves to be on the team, I actually would’ve been fine with her making the squad.  What  I cannot stand is Kelli believing that the viewers are blind, stupid, or that gullible to believe in the swampland she is shelling   

That isn’t the reason I logged in to post however. I just watched the opening of the episode and, while I don’t like ever writing this word, FUCK YOU, Kelli.   If you really cared about the emotional anguish that some of those women were dealing with, you would’ve found them a pastor or a counselor to speak to on a non-rehearsal night. Do not think for a second that we do not believe you weren’t hoping for Shainna to fall apart on screen so you could have some pathos in the episode. AND THEN you would expect her to magically box up these feelings YOU FORCED HER to confront AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST FIELD REHEARSAL so she could concentrate on the night that often “makes or breaks” a candidate.  I’m so beyond disgusted right now.  And if there were tears, she could get the you- need- to- forget-all-of-that as a performer ( or risk being accused of being unprofessional like Jalyn.  ). In contrast,  all I can think about is Jen C teaching choreo at the start of the season as a guest, and giving one of the girls a hug because she actually EMPATHIZED with what she was going through.  You have had them come in for stupid ass tours of the locker room that some of them had already seen, you have had him come in for media literacy; are you telling me that you could not have had a separate night to allow them to unpack some of the emotional baggage they are dragging with them?   

You, Kelli, are 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩.

Lose weight or lose your job is a pretty standard rule for professional dancers - Broadway, Ballet, etc. I know it's hard to hear and see on TV when they harsh on a woman's weight, but that's what directors are thinking and saying to each other in dance auditions across the spectrum. The funny thing for me is that I do Bikram yoga and these hot young (not me) Bikram instructors have fierce, zero fat bodies, but often abs are so developed they have a curve to their tummy. When you can count some of the DCC women's ribs, you know they've lost weight for flat stomach, but they have don't have a great core.

+1 I think it's a great she's striking out on her own (and honestly to Kelli's credit - Kelli seems to love and encourage her daughter to be herself not Kelli 2.0) All I know about Sam is her instagram, and the worst thing I can say about her is she's BFFs with Victoria and hasn't seemed to convince tell her friend that she needs to take the makeup, lashes, teeth, hair color down a notch.
