If you MUST do these types of videos, at least blur out the poor women's faces. I'm sure at least some of these women it was just a bucket list/I'm going to audition for the DCC just because I can thing; knowing full well they had no chance or dream of making the team. No need to humiliate them for it.

I agree, seriously.

...And have attached an example of how to respect all auditionees, not so seriously.

Another mean girl video...how cute NOT! 

 https://twitter.com/DCCcmt/status/1151899431555469312

K & J are unprofessional and mean spirited to do another video. They complained that VK got all this negative attention on social media last year and she needed a break this year. Well, K & J are doing the same things to these girls by rehashing which was already shown on TV previous years. I’m sure it was hard to see it the first time, yet a second or third time. Shame on you Kelli and Judy! I thought you had more class than this, but I am sadly mistaken.

Caroline? (Could be anyone you see in a mall.)

Thank you! She is cute but I don’t get all the raving about her

Caroline to me is like Danielle. When I first saw them I was like, yeah they're pretty but whatever. And then they keep growing on you and growing on you and end up being stunning! Well for me anyway 😂😉

Heather...vanilla?? What? She’s stunning. 

Although I’m personally “Amy for Point”, Heather is so gorgeous, she’d be great. I just think Amy would be a fun to watch, bubbly point. 

I guess i should specify, I meant vanilla as in her dancing doesnt wow me...she doesnt stand out in that sense. 

[M1977G]

I think Heather can kill it when she wants to but that their concern might be consistency. She started out in TC as very vanilla but by year 2, she was getting comments and appearing in footage that showed clean power and dynamic facials. I love it when she dances like that and want to see her bring it like that as a GL and would be very happy to see her at point. Really, I'd be happy to see anyone at point except for Maddie. That sounds so mean, but I just do not see her as point girl caliber in her performance or appearance. She is a great dancer, but as others have pointed out, including during her solo at auditions this year, she does not always finish moves and can be lackluster at times. I will be utterly gobsmacked if K & J pick Maddie to be the most filmed and photographed cheerleader for the season. She's a great ambassador and seems to be a much-loved team mate, but to me, that does not a point girl make. And yes, Caroline looked amazing at point in the video! Her eyes pop like mad, she has such amazingly clean lines and well-trained feet, and has that perfect DCC blend of girl-next-door-meets-glamour-queen. If they don't go wild and make a 2nd year vet point this year, I definitely could see (and would love to see) Caroline and Bridget in the triangle down the road.

I'm not saying these women deserve the treatment but at this point they know they're too fat by DCC standards or simply can't dance so there is a good chance they will be made fun of for the world to see.  I would wager they do it for the attention they're going to get.  Sad, though.

Hate to say it, but yes. Excellent technical dancer and performer. Future triangle, absolutely. Good person. Approachable. Def. girl next door pretty, maybe the prettiest girl in her high school. But stunning, gorgeous, model looks etc, nah she’s about as Basic as they come. Not to insult her bc she is pretty, but just in a very average way.

Nothing new. Just does not care one but to tell girls they need to stop eating whatever they’re eating and lose weight in areas, will def tell are you stupid or dead, yells a lot, will roll her eyes and act exasperated, she’s not vulgar like Kitty but Judy def will yell and scream. 

[UnicornKicksBack]

I would not be mad with Amy at point.

Gina would annoy me bc I don’t think she has the face but def has the dance.

heather ok. Maddie definitely NEVER.

Honestly I really wish they’d just skip over these half assed upper vets and make a Bridget, Caroline, Jalyn (never going to happen), Rachel W (yes, I said RACHEL W) diamond. Daphne looks too skinny now and we have zero rockstars of color at the moment. 

This team needs to 1) clean house, 2) not hire the fresh fire over seniority 3) locate some black girl magic, even some tan girl spice. 

I mean not skip. Don’t know where not hire came from but won’t let me editz

I don't know how to post vids yet but there was a Lose Weight video from 2002 that showed a glimpse of Judy chastising girls for their weight.  Seventeen years later and they still pressure them to be size 1.  Personally, I think girls with figures like Kashara and Khalyn look best in the DCC uniform.  Why can't KJC see this?

I remember thinking of how cruel Judy was I;some older footage (girls were wearing unitards) and she was so clipped, abrupt, and mean.   Kelli had one season (7) where she was almost overly solicitous, as if she was afraid of coming across mean.  But that went away.  🙃

Because she is so photogenic.  Amazing eyes.  I find Caroline stunning in many of her shots.  Maddie is more of what I call "cute".

I don't get why some feel you need pageant glam to be point.  To me "America's Sweethearts" also covers pretty and that includes girl next door pretty which I find much more approachable than Miss America glam.  I'd rather see a point girl with sparkle and strong dancing.  Whoever is at point needs to lead the rest of the squad and if they are vanilla dancers (ie: Heather), for me, it doesn't work.

[ATLGirl]

Since it's Friday night and the first game is "just around the corner" (yes, this is a DCC Bingo Card square along with "I'd be devastated" and "I have no words."), I'm thinking tonight is a cut night. Any rumblings?

[Christineelgene]

I just noticed on Meredith’s IG that she is in Florida today.  I wonder if they have the day off, or if she was cut?

Meredith struggled a lot during the SG auditions for Thunderstruck. Her being cut wouldn't be surprising.

Some of those girls with their muffin tops looked better than VK did in training camp, yet nada from Kelli and Judy.  It took them, what, five weeks to acknowledge her roll of fat?

I agree on Caroline... Her short clip at point sold it to me at least. But I disagree (somewhat) on Heather. I think the other comment upthread saying that she can kill it when she wants is absolutely true. Kelli named her as one of the best rookies at the beginning of her second season in terms of power and showmanship so i think she’s got it.  

I would be fine with Amy (only due to seniority and leadership material), or any 2nd year. I would like Rachel A. to make triangle or even point. Just no Maddie or Gina for me.

[Jazzmom]

Erin also has the looks for point!  She is one of my favs now, since Holly. 

I would love to see more of Erin dancing and see if she now has the wow factor too. I think she is mature, looks the part, and could be a major star.

Almost everyone overlooked the obvious last year..and it was definitely more than one obvious. Also, using the phrase “all encompassing” and not giving direct feedback irked me too.  Guests chors  were asked directly about her.  No “dots” on her pic, not noticed (but why..always asked) and I would love to hear what exactly Kashara was referring to about things coming out of VK’s mouth.  

After years of watching how the selection is done and in one season all of that is thrown out of the window for one person...well..that is what definitely irked me the most.  

Anyway....sigh

[TB12]

WFH watching last season epi where Miranda burst into tears when called over to K&J and flashback to Kitty calling her Grandma Moses, ummm its kind of crazy given Kitty's yellow and orange hair. Kitty's anger toward some girls seems so out of left field almost like they remind her of someone who wronged her. I lost all respect for Kitty last year especially when she expected VK to get the respect to lose the 11 lbs she gained rather than cut her. Don't even get me started on her talking about Tara... Kitty, if you're seeing this, Karma is a bitch & one day you'll find her sitting on your shoulder making you pay for all the hearts you've broken with your unnecessary mean girl attitude ps: i think you're just jealous of the fresh, young beautiful ladies who don't yes ma'am you to your liking... just sayin

That's a quote from Kelli in that season about how Loni got into TC.  She caught the interest of someone in the Cowboys organization but pretty might not be enough to get her on the team.  She never said who it was.  Maybe someone here knows ore but there wasn't a huge fan base yet back then.  

Loni made the team so someone must've had a say in it or maybe pressured Kelli to do it.

You can change the location on an instragram post easily, it doesn't mean she is in Florida right now. I do think Meredith should be the next to go based on the show group audition video but I don't think the insta location should be read into.

I'm dying to see where VK lands in the squad photo.  Typically (but not always), the rookies fill in the back two rows.  Some years, however, a rookie is brought up front -- I have a feeling this will be one of those years.

Tina: But sweetie you're a Rookie. You have to wait a few years to be moved up front.

"Shame on you Kelli and Judy! I thought you had more class than this, but I am sadly mistaken."

Not sure how they get world class by their lack of it.

It seems so high school.

Lack of class examples: laughing at girls on the videos.

Picking girls based on favoritism, when they fall out of a single pirouette everytime.

Making fun of Colby during TC.

Laughing at TK saying Chandler looked like a gma.

Taking gossip as gospel from another meal girl, Kitty.

We have seen lack of class, but these recent video releases cross lines and are proof, imho.

I imagine they might run season 13 soon to help build hype for the new season. It's not just VK coming back but also Kristin and Lily who make it into TC again, and then there are others who reauditioned like Malena, Jasmine, and probably some other folks I'm forgetting. TPTB likely are certain there was no nepotism showing because VK got cut last year, so I doubt that concern factors into the reruns. If they were blind to what the episodes revealed before and after airing, I don't imagine they'll see a difference now. Also, TPTB (or at least Kelli) probably will think that running season 13 will help remind folks of the 2-season narrative arc of VK's struggles and triumph over adversity to make SG and the team this year.

CMT has been showing season 13 for a couple weeks now. I had to stop watching when she called Dayton in to give her the you aren't going to make the team because of who your mom is. I was so mad I almost threw up!

The fact that these girls know that they may be filmed is no excuse for what amounts to insensitivity bordering on cruelty.

The girls sign up to audition not to be made fun of in a promo for the show.

The fact that you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it  -- especially if being "world-class" means showing a little class.

Right! It's been my least favorite part of the prelims episode for years. Plenty of us have said something. 

Also, the fact that its years later actually makes it worse for me, not better like he seems to imply. When something is funny, it's funny. I get that. I'm not blaming them for laughing in the moment. While I would never try to embarrass someone, lord knows that I've laughed at (not with) people before. It happens. But to go back and pull clips from years and years ago.....seriously, they need to grow up and get out of the high school mentality!  I say this especially because the joke is never on them, always someone else.

On another note, any training camp news?

Kelli was fighting tooth and nail to put Victoria on the squad last year to the point of asking Charlotte for a squad of 40 and the funding for said squad, if we believe the rumors.  At that time, Kelli knew Victoria wasn't top 36.  I'm curious as to what's changed between last year and this year (besides Kelli's determination to put Victoria on the squad at almost all costs including the other girls).

Re-watching bits and pieces of previous episodes, and that is what it's like.  Or she says that the girls have noticed - what, members of the squad are going to Kitty with their concerns or is she eavesdropping?  Last year, it was Kelli who asked her "Do you get good locker room out of Madeline?"  This cause vets felt Madeline was overstepping as a rookie answering questions and she had switched lockers.  Why is she asking Kitty that?  For years, Kitty has been after the girls to be fierce and bold- ie Meagan Sharp, Melissa R, etc.  But if you are too fierce and confident, it's still wrong.

It's interesting though - they had Pamela "PJ" Purcell in last year with Shelly, Nicole H and Jacie.  She compliments VK to her face - wouldn't want to dance next to her, dancing so huge, so excited.  In other words, she is so excited, she is dancing out of control, but Pamela doesn't put it that way and doesn't stand up for her later with K&J.  So, another person who isn't helping VK by sugarcoating the facts.  Not so obvious hypocrites with VK.

Kelli told VK that there was "an articulate smoothness, finesse, polish-" and VK interrupts to ask who should she work with.  Judy says KaShara.  Did that ever happen?  Was it during these sessions that Kash saw there was another problem?  And I think Lacey was her GL and her boot buddy, so it's interesting, funny that she was told to work with KaShara.  Maybe Judy knew KaShara would take no sh*t from VK:)
