2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers

What is her affiliation with the Cowboys year to date?

According to Melissa's podcast, Scott voted against VK, got the attitude from Charlotte and Kelli, but when she was cut, felt vindicated.  She wasn't ready and they shouldn't have given her a spot in TC.  Just a waste of time.

If Kelli and Charlotte really like someone that the judges don't, then the judges will usually change their answers.  Ooh!  Big surprise!  Melissa said that she reconsiders because maybe she missed something.

Melissa asked for questions for the podcast - more than half were about Meredith.  People want to know if the show is edited - is she better than what we see?  Even Scott can't understand why she is still in camp.  He sees the same person from auditions.  Girls have been cut before for the same issues.  Everyone knows she is definitely Kelli's favorite, but he is just not on the Meredith bandwagon.  Why did Alexandra get cut and not Meredith.

Scott loved Brennan - loved her underdog story. 

Some didn't do well during media training - which isn't a surprise.  One basically said she was there to be famous - they didn't give names, but I think we know who it was.  It caused quite the commotion. 

Kalyssa was "kicked off halfway thru the year" cause she was more interested in posting risqué photos online

Scott was looking at IG accounts during panel interviews.  He asked some girls about their inappropriate postings, which surprised them that their social media would be looked at during the interview process

Melissa said they were weighed every day when she was a DCC.  There was a 5 pound variance allowed.  They aren't as strict these days, and they had an issue with girls getting too thin and the DCC addressed it.  They want healthy girls who look good in the uniform.

Scott originally felt that Erica was trying to gain notoriety with her lawsuit because she was comparing herself to Rowdy, who is a full time employee.  And Melissa is like everyone else who got paid $50 a game, wasn't paid for practice - did it for the love of it.  What bothered her about the lawsuit from Erica was that she still had DCC pics on her IG profile, years she cheered, would mention where she was being interviewed, talk about being a dance teacher, was promoting herself - but not discussing the issues, what needed to change, reason for the lawsuit, etc.  Using the DCC as a stepping stone while bashing it.

Logically Irrational.  I want to say the good stuff started about halfway thru.  Her and her hubby were talking about less important reality shows first 😛

I think there would be pitchforks in motion if that happened:)

I wonder if Kelli will give her the using DCC as a stepping stone speech like she gave Madeline.

I’m sorry, that one gave me a big chuckle. Hopefully, she won’t find flyers in a goodie bag from Joe Namath about getting all the healthcare benefits she DESERVES!😱🤣😱

Well, @ATLGirl, I guess you want a different family, a different life.  Well it isn't gonna happen!  This is what you got! 😝

I still like when Nick Florez said he hoped it would be her year - then he crossed his fingers and said "Crossies!"  And yep, she made it:)

Oh Julia honey, no! This is so cringeworthy coming from someone who works in front of a camera on a regular basis. I wonder if she had planned to say that or if she just got caught off-guard and that's what came out. I mean she could have very well been trying to be complimentary & planned on saying something like, "this organization has seen a lot of amazing women come through here who have gone on to other great things and I'd be honored to follow in their footsteps", but she got nervous or forgot. It's a real shame that this is what tripped her up. I think she would have been a real asset to the team.

Wow! What a shame! She’s a great dancer and very pretty. She sunk herself without knowing it and she will NEVER (IMO) make it into training camp again. She will (probably) not be forgiven for her mistake. 

The thing is....this IS a stepping stone to your next career. No way can they expect you to make this your ‘end all’ career (yes, I’m aware that it is for some). I mean, most girls are ‘one and done’ or quit after a few seasons. Are they expecting girls to ‘retire’ at 25 and that’s it for them? 

The only kind of "stepping stone" that Kelli, Judy & the organization want this to be is either to marriage or a job within the organization. Oh and also a step on the way to dropping off your legacy daughter to her audition.

She did mess up last year ... her answer to almost everything was "I have no words" you can tell by the look on Kelli's face she was not happy could see the immaturity showing. Weight and immaturity is what got her cut ...

IIRC, she also laughed into her phone and said  something like we have to help VK find her words.

I wouldn't be surprised if that means making her wear an ear piece during interviews and media training so she can be given "her words"

Oh goodness.   I guess she was pretty flat in the before photo, but IMO she took it too far.   They almost look photoshopped on.

Her butt looks oddly photoshopped and she’s still not photogenic.  Sorry.

That one of Tess is pretty though.

2.  It is sooooooooo misogynistic to think women shouldn’t be ambitious. It just drips with misogyny.  This has nothing to do with building the DCC brand, and everything to do with misogyny.

Because for the DCC proper little ladies are ambitious enough to shake their cash and prizes for the ultimate reward: a big diamond.  You can be ambitious about proper things, just not about using the role to get you to a better career.  It makes them look more antiquated than they are. You can say how are the DCC relevant in a #metoo world and make it work.  But then they do something like vilify ambition and it smacks of the 1950s.  Still, as someone who has to speak publicly, short and sweet.  Words are your enemy.

Gee, why didn't we see VK?  Did she not find words?

Don't be fooled, Kelli cuts the girls she wants to cut and keeps the girls she wants to keep.  Period.

She is merely looking for things to justify making the decisions she already wants to make.  Me-too Taylor and Julia would have been cut for other (manufactured) reasons even if they'd passed the media test with flying colors.

100% This!!!!!

I started watching during the Brianna from New Jersey season - I knew then it was fake.  There's always some bullshit reason to get cut - they (Kelli, Charlotte, et al) just don't like someone. The kicker for me - is they swear, it's "world class." No accomplished, not even accomplished,  but "talented' dancer aspires to be a DCC. 

This whole VK crap is just exposing it.  

We all watch shows that appeal to us - if you're a weirdo like me, you watch shows that you hate; like this one. It ultimately is up to Charlotte and Kelli for who makes the team and I suppose for me - watching is an exercise in catching the "bullshit" moments. 

The podcast touched on VK - Melissa claimed most of the questions were about Meredith.  I find that hard to believe-  Miss Neigh Neigh didn't - but LOL Scott's kinda of horsey references about having steam coming out of the gate, etc. was pretty funny.

Brennan looks fantastic! By beautiful friends does she mean left cheek and right cheek?  I'm squeezing my glutes as I sit here reading this. Inspiring!!

[phylogeny]

I've felt really bad for Christina and the whole boob thing. Kelli zoomed into her chest area on a picture on national television and went "NO SHAPE!" Like, duh loads of the girls are gonna be pretty flat, they're not allowed to have an ounce of fat on them. I just hope Christina got her new... friends because she really wanted them anyway and not because Kelli made her feel bad.

[ByTor]

Hannah certainly hadn't purchased any "friends" for the chesticular area, and she looks perfectly fine...as did Christina.  It's too bad so many feel the need to get them.

Agreed!  And bonus...so many of the lesser endowed girls have those "glutes that salute!" tm Jay.  Grass is always greener, I know, but still.  These ladies are all so strong and fit.  Some will have a little more, some have a little less.

Well, we didn't really find out why Gabby was cut.  What will we NOT find out tonight?

* Will they explain the two points?

* Will they explain Julia (or is what we saw the answer)?

Rewatched last week's last night.

PPP (Personal Pet Peeve) - "whenever" I was a Jr DCC.  No, honey, it is WHEN.  Your hickdom is showing!

Look who is at the center again? Could it be a coincidence? A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection? Who knows? Why does the sun come up, or are stars just pinholes in the curtain of night? Who knows?

They explained Julia in a post on the MTT FB page but every time I share it the video won't work (the only way I can watch it is on my phone) https://www.facebook.com/DCCMakingTheTeam/videos/389342868409733/

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.

Wasn’t that just an excerpt from the épisode?   There could be more.  They may show VK tonight for all we know.

 Julia was in an accident after media training? So she comes back and then they cut her?

The girls don't look shocked or at all concerned when they say "Julia's been in a car accident."

Judy said "Kat's late.." during the field entrance yet VK is behind Kat! 

Why would Melissa R. wear heels if she knew they would be on the field. And she's there often enough that they need to stop introducing her "champion of dancing with the stars..." Applause, fake excitement...! Just let her be there with K and J and a nice welcome would suffice.

Wow Hannah, bringing the heat 🔥 for the hottest month (just coincidentally my birthday month.)

And thank you JerseyGirl for sharing.

Do you think, as much as Kat and Meredith are featured, Kelli and Judy will explain or even mention why they are not performing every game.

I don't know how much Shelly knows about the final edit, but she told us we'd find out why 37 on the show.  I guess we'll see.

Anyone else watching live?  That media training segment was painful.  Between Kat and Meredith ... I have no words. 😉

I don’t know how they weren’t let go on the spot.

Meredith blew the media portion they showed.

Kat needs to pause, and say a short, upbeat sentence. She’s cringeworthy.

Oh Amy. “I’m point, guess what, it’s amazing!?!” And then to dismiss Maddie getting co point as “cute”? Bless your messed up steps and over inflated ego.

Wow minus a bajillion points to Amy. Hon you are point for 20 second to Maddie who is point for almost two minutes. And Maddie is a FAR superior dancer to Amy. You might not like her ‘look’ but she can dance in this style and doesn’t mess up. Meanwhile Amy messes up ALL the time so she’s extremely lucky to have those 20 seconds. Also in pictures and videos? She’s not shown as point as often as Maddie is. 

[Tuxcat]

Ok we are beyond the point of ridiculous now.

Kelli and Judy need to come right out and say it. "We know Kat and Meredith mess up all the time. We know they are both ambassador risks. We know Lily has a frozen face beyond repair. But we are keeping these three because we want to. Sorry, we can't explain it. We just want to keep them. There really isn't any process or value to training camp let alone the stickers. End of show."

[Muckypup61]

Thoughts/observations/questions:

1) My guess, from next week's previews, is that Julia tries to come back from her accident too soon, passes out on the field, and Kelli tells her to try out next year after she's recovered.

2) Kelli looks really good in royal blue. She needs to wear that color more often.

3) I enjoyed seeing more of Judy's input this episode. She spoke more than three sentences!

4) I'm not a dancer, but am I the only one that thinks VK isn't finishing her moves? The shot of her shown dancing on the field was so abbreviated, but it just didn't look like her movements were full or completed. Does that make sense?
