2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers

[PrincessLeia]

I heard from a good source last year that Charlotte absolutely put her foot down and made Kelli cut to 36, so it’s highly unlikely that she’ll let her go up to 38 this year. More cuts are coming.

I just binged the last episode of last season on CMT.com and I have "Thunderstruck" stuck in my head.

Oh gosh please tell me the rumors about Amy being point are false. Her personality and her dancing just give off a repelling combo of annoying and arrogant.

My votes for point, in order: Gina, Bridget, Caroline, Heather.

I vote for Judy’s Stool as point girl! 😂😂 She got all the stickers 👍🏽👍🏽

Perhaps but Char has had an entire year to think about the possibility of the request being requested again. 

If TPTB are truly world class, I would like to think that they would entertain the idea of budgeting a bit more money for this if she thought that this may be requested again, ESPECIALLY knowing that VK would at some point have a guaranteed spot. Charlotte knows that VK isn’t the best dancer on the squad nor is VK the best advocate for their world class reputation. So I think that maybe just maybe Char took this into consideration when deciding on if she would allow a larger squad of 36.

Also as a side note, Jerry Jones just recently bought an Oil & Gas company which if this new company takes off & succeeds in the O&G industry, I would like to think that some of this revenue may perhaps allow the DCC to have a slightly bigger budget.

But who really knows. Certainly not me but here’s to hoping that this in the clouds idea actually comes true.  

[California Girl]

Meredith is gorgeous and has the DCC look.  She really should make the team, the dance perfection will come. 

And, fyi, one of my all-time favorite DCCs remains Selina for her beauty of spirit and character, so I really do appreciate the different strengths any particular young lady brings to the team.

There is no way I will ever believe that VK was better suited for SG than Jalyn. She was my favorite last year. Unless she appears horribly out of shape, I can think of no reason why she wouldn't have made it over every TCC or even some of the other vets. 

Heck, take VK off the table.  Seriously, both Rachels beat Jalyn for Show Group? This is some serious bullsugar.

Yeah not going to happen bc DCB, DCC, plus other Jones interests are all sep companies and their purpose is to make money not be loved or to share profits. DCC makes enough money to sustain itself at 36 or whatever so that’s what they get. Also why the girls get paid what they do - it’s how much money the org brings in. Jerry or any other successful business person won’t rob the profits of one company to pay for extra icing the cake of another one who already has enough icing to make itself sweet.

I just binge watched season 13 OnDemand and the favortism towards VK is clear from the start. Some of the best examples: during her solo one of the female judges (can't recall her name but she was the one who later asked them questions in the faux TV interviews) started tearing up & getting very emotional & Marshall gave her this look like "I don't get why you're making such a fuss." Then later on when they were reviewing their performances, one of the male judges called VK soft & mentioned how she flailed around & Kelli narrowed her eyes & said "oh really". Then there was the whole thing with her weight gain & how they even let her get 11 pounds heavier when they have busted others cheerleaders for gaining less. And let's not forget Kitty brushing aside VK's weight gain & telling Kelli to give her a chance to turn it around, while in the same  breath she's picking on Vets for their hair or not being noticable.

The hypocrisy too is stunning particularly when it comes to how Dayton was treated compared to VK. Dayton was called out far more often for mistakes whereas when VK messed up, she was treated with kid gloves & called "a beautiful storm." The big thing that ticked me off (knowing what I know now) was Kelli telling Dayton that she wouldn't be getting a spot because of who her mother is. I laughed out loud when that scene came up because we all know that she promised VK a spot due to her closeness to Tina. Its just amazing to me that Kelli & Judy are risking the integrity of the whole training camp process for just one girl.

Long time reader here, love this forum. I just rewatched Season 12, Ep. 4 where the veterans, including Tina Kalina, are discussing the candidates during and following a rehearsal. Tina specifically states her concerns about Tasha and Stephanie and their weight gain; in Tasha's case it was 10 lbs. in one year. Tina says that she herself is sensitive because she had a weight issue as a cheerleader. She also called Tasha "wiggly". Yet she was upset a year later when her daughter was cut after gaining 11 lbs. in mere weeks? That scene stuck with me all last season, and I just now remembered which episode it was from. The double-standard is documented in many episodes, but that one has to be the most blatant considering what happened since it was taped. Not sure if anyone has mentioned this prior but I couldn't find a post referencing it.

My guess is that since Amy is the only 5 year vet she’s gonna get point or pro bowl.

That’s right. Would Amy be so fortunate if Simone, Amy ‘Superstar’ Trader, Elizabeth, Holly ‘Powerhouse’ Powell, Chantel, Mary and Megan ‘World Champion’ Carcioppolo would have stayed on the team?

I don’t think so, and this must be a point of concern for K&J.

Specially concidering how they are managing Jalyn, who is definitely, pound by pound, one of the best on the squad.

I think Heather will get pro bowl. Amy is kinda just there for me.. and you know if anyone else in her class was still there (Amy Trafer, Megan C, Holly, Robyn) Amy would be irrelevant and therefore, I wouldn’t consider she deserves it. That stuff shouldn’t be given to a person just because they decided to come back year after year

[Loves2Dance]

I can't figure out if Marshall blocked me or deleted his comment on the Facebook video of Kelli & Judy being mean girls. Can someone verify for me? He responded to a comment I made, but I was on my phone and didn't have a chance to reply---went to do that now and can't find it. 

He was getting his balls handed to him, so it wouldn't shock me if he deleted it. But, he also seems petty enough to block strangers on Facebook too, so it could also be that.

Not a Vikki fan, but I can’t hate on her here for wearing a romper with a loose top when Kelcey is standing next to her in a green sack with a stain on the front. 

It's interesting that she's wearing a top/romper thing that blouses out at the waist.  Is weight still an issue for her?  I don't think I would want to stand anywhere near Kat.  That girl is lean with the DCC body VK desperately wants.

I suspect that’s just a style she likes. Maybe she’s self conscious about her mid section because that’s where she had the most noticeable issues in the past. Her face, arms, & legs all look better in that pic than they did last year.

I looks like he deleted  his comment all together. I had responded to his comment yesterday and this morning I get up and his comment is gone. He didn’t block me because I was able to search his name and find his FB page.

I’m surprised that romper is appropriate for DCC standards. She wore one to makeovers also. I have never seen a DCC in a short dress or skirt so I find it odd that it’s allowed. Maybe the have loosened the dress code

While she was on the team I have no idea, but I believe towards the end of her 63rd year on the team she got that ridiculous movie gig that had DCC inspired cheerleaders that she “choreographed” and stared in.

forgot to ask last night on insta, but who is po....

jk, though I think people are extra curious this year because it’s not as obvious as previous years. Kash was a repeat, Jenna was easily going to be point until that whole incident, JKat, etc...there are too many options and wildcards this season.

----Yes!! I would reather to see Heather or Maddie going to PB, i feel like Amy is the Sydney off dcc, 1000 years but no relevance on the squad.

I agree! I'm a fan of Meredith. She's so pretty and her features kinda reminds me of Megan Fox. I felt she got some unjust hate from the judges last year. Brenda saying shes "about herself" before even speaking to her and her body shape being called a "rectangle"(Which I had no idea was a thing) by that other male judge. And she really moves like a well trained dancer. 

Bridget is my fave DCC and my hope for eventual point. Im ok with Maddie or Amy this year if thats what its coming down to. But probably Amy this time around. Shes a 5th year DCC and leader. She has proven herself.

I definitely agree that Amy got lucky... Tess too and to a certain degree, Maddie-yes, Kelli loves her but no way she would get triangle and get straight to 1GL if we still had the actual rockstars. That’s why I want both Tess and Maddie to retire this year-they overstayed their welcome for me.

Heather though I would like to stay for a 5th year and get pro bowl next year. If she gets it this year then no way she stays on for another.

No she did not.  Sydney was a DCC for 7 years (2008-2014).

I looked at the 2012, 2013,  & 2014 squad pictures which were her 5th, 6th, and 7th years. 

My guesses are Whitney I in 2012, Jackie B in 2013, and Holly H in 2014. If I'm wrong someone please correct me. There were a few girls who stayed past 5 years ( Trisha T, Sydney, Jenna) who probably hoped to get PBC but did not.

I just started re watching season 13 and Kelli showed her favoritism for VK over Dayton in the first episode. Kelli stated she expected more from Dayton being a legacy but raved about VK and was teary eyed right from the start of VK’s dance. 😬 I didn’t realize the favoritism was so exposed on Day 1.

I actually was thinking about this.  They have not used tenure to determine point.  Sydney comes to mind.    I like Amy.  She seems very sweet, but I never saw her as a powerful performer.  I can’t remember which guest judge complimented her last season saying she was stronger than she’d ever see her....but that doesn’t mean she’s a point girl.   I’d love for a second year to take it. It was such a powerful group last year.  But for me, KaShara was the epitome of point girl....powerful performer but also a joyful dancer and motivating to her peers.

 If she didn’t gain the weight and didn’t shoot her mouth off, IMO  they had a spot with her name on it. Kelli  wanted her badly and stuck up for her as long as possible hoping VK would get her act together. Don’t forget Kelli is one of the producers so it wasn’t only what CMT wanted us to see. For the record I have nothing against Victoria and hope if she makes the team it’s based on talent and not who she knows.  I respect your opinion and we will disagree on this.

I don't care how CMT edited the season.  They didn't create VK sulking because she didn't make show group, then tell Kelli she was sulking because she didn't make show group.  You can't really spin that type of entitlement away.  She was 11 pounds heavier than tryouts, where she was already fatter than most of the people trying out.  Yet she still believed she HAD a spot on the team.  She didn't have to try harder, be better.  It was her spot.  I'm not sure how this is even up for debate at this point, based on her own words.  And let's focus on Kashara's comment about VK.  She said that VK was thoughtless with her comments.  What the heck was she saying away from the cameras that got that blatant of a red mark from one of the team's leaders? I have a feeling that VK is much worse when she's not on screen.  No one likes entitled brats.  I feel sorry for the girls on the team who will have to walk on egg shells to not upset the precious dear.  Who wants to spend that much time with someone who is more equal than the others?

Well I don’t expect anyone to reach 8 years, let alone exceed them nowadays. Maybe VK who doesn’t seem to have any other aspirations, so I could absolutely see her going for the record.

I know that Hanna, Bridget and Jalyn get a lot of love (and they are my dream triangle along with wildcard Caroline), but I really like Alanna and I think she’s underrated. She looks amazing in the clip and I think it Kashara (?) said last year that she doesn’t make mistakes.
