I'm watching earlier seasons of the show and it's interesting comparing the 18- and 19-year-old girls who made the squad in seasons past to others in more recent years (including one certain girl currently in Training Camp).  Mia Greenhouse had literally graduated from high school the Friday before the First Meeting of her rookie year (2009).  Megan Sharp was 18 when she made the squad in 2007.  I believe Cassie was 18 when she initially made it.  Erica, Jenna, Lacey, all of them (I believe) were 18 when they made the squad and I know there were others.  These girls come in poised, polished and mature so I don't get where the "Oh, she's still young" or "She's only 18, give her a break" excuses come from.  These haven't been applied exclusively to Victoria (though she's the most obvious one).  I suspect there are other girls who have gone through Training Camp, but leaned on the "I'm only 18" line to excuse their bad behavior though we haven't always heard about it.  I am struggling to come up with some other names of who those girls could have been.  Examples would be appreciated.

I think Erica was 22 when she made it having just graduated from LSU. Abigail Klein, Holly P, and Raylee were all 18 when they made the squad. Holly’s issues didn’t happen until she was 20 and I think they discussed her age a little on the show but I don’t remember what was said other than she admitted she was acting immature.

Shot out to INKWTWH who was the first one to post "love, like, neutral, not a fan" topic haha it was very interesting to see all differents opinions from everyone, so we can conclude that we all LOVE Bridget and Hannah ❤ and yet again, we are not a fan of Victoria ugh.

I just re-watched that episode when they were called into the office. It looks like they caught her in a lie when she said she was not talking to players and when pressed she said she didnt know what to say .... she kind of reminded me of Chelsea looking to dig herself our of hole though she looked more sincere than Chelsea LOL!! She also threw Jenna under the bus by saying she went to clubs with Jenna not with players.  So that put Jenna as a target of not being honest with them ... that was a super mess.

That was a super mess but I actually found it entertaining because I’ve always thought the fraternization rule was ridiculous.

Was Chelsea also 18 when she made it? I can’t remember anything about her other than her reactions to being called out on weight and her cut scene.

She was promised a spot and we all know how that ended up - did Kelli tell her she was cut off camera?  Did we see a staged reaction?  Cause if she was promised a spot, but was cut instead, she sure handled it well.

I felt bad for Jenna, she really deserved the point and the pro-bowl girl spot, instead of Kashara, maybe, this past season was Kashara's Year, i know Jenna lied about the whole situation, Kelli is so hypocritical bc she doesnt act the same way with everybody, Like in 2010 i think, when Whiney wear some racist costume for Halloween (which i didnt find racist), and she got nothing but point and probowl the next years, and that situation was in national news paper, and Jenna got punished for something that she didnt do, that was sad 😞

She's fine - having a good summer, just not a good SG audition.  No bad blood between her and anyone, K&J like her.

My understanding was Jenna's last straw was failing in their eyes as a good mentor and leader to the newer DCCs.  that was what that whole thing on camera was before auditions, saying can we trust you as a leader and she was like oh totally and then she was at clubs with Holly when, if nothing else, Holly was underage. 

No one is going to universally agree on what Jenna's real responsibility was (so I hope we don't fall down that rabbit hole again with i love jenna vs she was satan) but the issue is that she didn't meet THEIR (K&J's) expectations and that's all that matters in the end.  Is there some hypocrisy? absolutely.  But that's what bit K&J in the end anyway.  They let bad behavior get out of line for too long (i.e Cassie, Sydney).  

ALL that said, it is a shame she didn't get to keep point because she was very talented and fun to watch (tho I am Kash's biggest fan so I have zero problem with her at point for 2 years 🙂 ).  I would have been shocked, though, if Jenna had got pro bowl even without the Holly drama.

I thought it was entertaining also  ...  Chelsea was of drinking age but partying too hard and not a very good example of a veteran ....  when both were apologizing you can see Judy's eyes rolling !!!

I thought it was hypocritical for Kelli to tell Jenna she should have come to them and then say in another breathe say we dont expect you to tattle but you should have said something .. what the heck ?!?!?  But I also think there may have been the issue of Jenna was going to the clubs with her and knowing she was underage ... that is the one that probably caused her to have point taken away ... If you are captain you should not be going to clubs with team mates you know are underage

Glad she’s still having a good summer but I can’t see how she could have been worse than Daphne and yet Daphne still made it. Hopefully she comes back for a 3rd year and makes it again. She’s by far one of their best dancers.

[BBK2]

Has Chelsea ever been back to do anything as an alumni, since getting cut?

How about Sydney? 

I used to follow Selina on IG, but she’s gone private & it looks as if I’ve ‘been cut’  as a follower...I hope she’s doing okay...she’s a school teacher, right?

I just rewatched the season and VK cried on almost every episode for one reason or another and yet no mascara ran from her eyes. This leads me to believe she knew she was getting cut, they had her put on non waterproof mascara, the black poured from her eyes and they had the drama they needed for the scene. This is what sells reality TV so I no longer believe much of what I see on the show. In my eyes she will never be a girl who earned her boots but rather a girl who got them because who she knows.

Does anyone know how Chandi, Kat, and Kristin are doing in training camp? They’re the 3 I’m rooting for.

You're not wrong from what we saw of Daphne.  But I honestly haven't heard anything about Daphne's entire audition being poor. 

I can't imagine Jalyn not reauditioning next year! She does not strike me as a woe is me type, i think i'll just quit but rather someone who will use it to fuel her fire for next time.

I agree, the mixed messages were frustrating.  I think though like you said they expected her to just not get herself into that kind of mess PERIOD. "I can't tell Holly what to do..." No, but you can like...NOT go with her. Or like, say, "Holly, I love ya but please don't tell me when you're going clubbing or hanging out with players because if I get asked about it, I can't lie.  I signed a contract with DCC and I have to honor it."

I actually really like Sydney now and think she's one who matured a lot over the years so I'm not really wanting to rake her across the coals now.  I guess to put it as briefly as possible she made some of her own rules and when others tried to let Kelli know, it was "oh, Sydney is harmless." Well, she took Jenna under her wing as her bestie soooo... and then of course the whole movie debacle with the lying and whatnot.  but again, I think sydney is a much nicer person now and grown up a lot.

Jenna was all for the clubbing with Holly.  The only reason why they were caught was because someone saw them out & there was a problem between Zeke and someone at the club the same night...I can only guess Zeke was like, “ no it wasn’t my fault, ask Holly and Jenna..they were there”. 🤭

Jenna was suspended for the Hall of Fame show and Kashara was chosen to step in.  K&J did the right thing by choosing Kashara to continue at point.  After the HOF show and before point was officially Kashara’s, Jenna assumed she was the chosen one at a rehearsal.  😆

Well, the lies are already starting.  The episode guide for the first episode states that "400 dancers from all over the country converge.... to audition."   LOL!!!!  What did we figure - around 150 -175?

It must have been a bit sad for her to be pushed back into the background actually. I know that supposedly they are above these things, but they’re not doing this for the money (clearly) or as a hobby. Don’t think that a talented dancer is happy with losing SG (which isn’t that usual) when ahem mediocre at best girls get a spot.

What is Sarah wearing? I just love that they are posing next to each other with completely opposing outfits. And Kelsey needs to lay off the bleach, she looked better as a light brunette.

I mean... that was the only time she acted mature. That is most certainly not a genuine reaction from someone who was previously seen thoroughly cleaning Kelli’s desk with her hair due to not getting SG.

There was the season when Cassi was a group leader and outed a teammate who Cassi "heard" was bragging about not needing to practice. Of course K&J immediately took Cassi's word for it, even though the TCC (whose name I can't recall) denied it. So clearly tattling is encouraged. I think Kelli was just politically modifying her remarks to Jenna about not informing on a teammate. My guess is they expected Jenna to "express concern" about Holly to them but Jenna couldn't do that without being a full blown snitch.
