Queen Kelli 🤣🤣🤣🤣

New drinking game for this year - every time someone says "Queen" or "mature"

[UnicornKicksBack]

The diff in VK and Dayton is VK and Mama T have made it clear from birth they VK’s only goal in life is to be a DCC, but Dayton was more like hmmm, I love dance, why not try, if it happens ok, if not I’m not going to kill myself. Somehow that really made Kelli do everything she could to pick at Dayton and then cut her, no matter what she did. If she’d drunk the Kool aid she’d be in show group right now, but girl has some sense. VK’s blood type however is DCC Blue Raspberry.

Since Kelli is one of the executive producers I’m sure she has much say in what gets broadcast. If it turns out to be the same as last year, I will cancel the recording as I’ve got better things to do with my time than watch that girl and all her crying. 

Unless I read on here that things are very different than expected, I am giving this year a pass. I cannot handle a repeat of last year and that's what all the promos, etc. are indicating.

Just thought I would chime in after being away a bit for boring business stuff. Throwing this out there. We may see during the show's fitting episode, VK being given her last year fitting uniform and when she comes back in, her beaming and them going crazy how it is "too big", whoops, 'Way too big" for her this year to amp up how great she looks, and how much more fit she is. We know she looks better for now but geez. Hmmm, I wonder...

For the love of all that is good that is definitely going to happen without a doubt, ughhhhhhhhhh... and we’ll have to have Veruca & Kelli recreate the pic she took with Tina 100 years ago again... gag me!

I'm not watching it either.  They've doubled down HARD on VK and expect the season will be devoted to them trying convincing us just how amazing she is.

I like all the girls. Some I really love and others I would like to see improve areas.

love: Cianna, Ashlee, Caroline, Heather, Erin, Rachel A, Bridget, Alexis, Hannah, Gina

need improvements:  Maddie - posture, posture, posture, please work on your standing and walking posture, Tess - so beautiful and talented but never seems to really step up and push herself, Daphne - worry about how severely underweight she is, Amy - seems to be coasting/not focused

Or "clarity"

[VintageJ]

Man, I wish I could play the game, but honestly, I can hardly remember most of the rookies from last year, even after rewatching this weekend.  But here goes.

Love:  Brennan, Ashlee, Bridget, Heather, Erin, Maddie, Gina, Kelly, Lauren, Briana (I’m sure there are more but can’t remember at the moment)

Like:  Most of the others

Can do without:  VK and Rachel (beauty queen)

Most missed:  Khalyn, Lacey, KaShara and Tasha (just from last year)

Still missing and will always miss:  Jacie, Mia Greenhouse, Abigail Kline, Holly P., Jenna, Sasha Agent, Jackie Bobb.  

I love a good comeback story and Brennan is my girl!  But I was so surprised by Erin!  She took the Maddie class of transformation and came back strong and confident!  I love a good comeback story and Maddie and Erin could give a class on it.

I was neutral on Ashlee until she spoke.  From that moment on, I was a true fan!  And it seems as if TPTB really love her.  In rewatching last season, K&J were so impressed by her. I remember them saying that she has sex appeal and that she improved the most during training camp.  It seems as if she is definitely a favorite! 

On rewatch, I forgot how gorgeous Alexis is!

Perhaps she won't.  How did she make SG otherwise?  I think we were snookered last year by the editing.

Even when showing off her very best move for SYTYCD, she couldn't stop from falling out. We were definitely not snookered.

Absolutely love Erin. I would like to see more of her dancing. I could see her as point one day. 

Best comeback ever would be Maddie if she ends up point! 

I do not know a lot of the names from last year...CMT editing perhaps. 

[h2ogirl]

Thanks to whomever started these lists. I'm late to the party as usual but am also posting to probably ridicule myself later.

Love: Hannah, Jalyn, Heather, Bridget, Caroline, Molly, Ashlee, Brianna

Like:  Cianna, Alanna, Rachel A, Tess, Gina, Daphne, Savannah, and Amy

Never Really Catch My Eye: Brennan, Erin, Amber, Alexis, Taylor, Madeline, Maddie, and Miranda

Wouldn't Cry If They Got Cut: Lexie, Rachel W, and Christina

[JerseyGirl]

I am out this season too. Last season was just awful with the blatant favoritism towards VK. CMT is an added expensive on my cable system so I dumped it after last season. I see no reason to add it for this season. 

I also don’t want to see Jayln get cut from  SG and VK making it.  That is not entertaining and I would cry my eyes out!!

Actually I can’t see myself watching this show anymore because of TPTB not addressing the immaturity, mean girl attitude, and overweight VK last year and compare that to any new girl that comes along.  They were not tough on VK and pretty much handed her a SG position this year.  Any other girl who even did any one of those things and TPTB would have said don’t come back next year.  

I am out but will continue to read the forum.

I'm sure I missed some

Also, would love to know more about the fresh faced, natural hair lady shown right before Kat's shot in the stands. I saw some pictures of her from finals that piqued my interest.

I actually thought it was cruel to keep dragging it out for Malena and let her quit her job like that.  I feared they'd bring her back and do it again this year.  She can hold her high, she gave it her all but they knew she'd never make it and letting her quit her job was.... mean.

Are they going out of their way trying to feature VK in promos? Even if I had no idea who she was, there is no way I would of described that as "tears of joy." Come on CMT, if you're looking for ways to use pics/stills of VK, there are plenty of other options that make way more sense than this -- pulling out her hair waiting for MTT to start, high kicking in celebration of MTT starting soon, splayed over Kelli's desk unable to wait for MTT to start, one of her big goofy smiles . . . 

I'd say that they are making an effort to feature her. I've seen her in 2 of the TV promos, the one on Twitter and a few on the DCC Insta page. I really don't get them using that image of VK because its clear she's not happy. If I didn't know from reading all the insider stuff that VK has practically been declared untouchable by TPTB, I'd have thought that image was chosen to make her look bad. A friend of mine did say that maybe TPTB picked that image of her on purpose just to mess with us.

When was VK snapped at?  Only thing comes close to being "snapped" at was when she was pouting about show group.

It was how often the Dayton hate and the Victoria praise went back to back or close in the same episode. Dayton should have better turns... oh poor victoria. Dayton should know better. Victoria is a beautiful storm. Dayton should be more poised but Victoria has no words. It was the constant hypocrisy that pushed me into Daytons corner. In reality, they both should have been stronger. But Dayton never stood a chance from the moment she took the floor in prelims. 

When you break it down like that, it really is obvious how they were more in VK's corner than Dayton's. I mean both of them had the same knowledge of how training camp works, they both had extensive backgrounds in dance and they both had insight into what was expected of them, but they both handled it very differently (Dayton with genuine sweetness & grace, VK with ego and expectation) and they were both treated very differently. The analogy I used was like when little kids are learning to swim. K&J were holding VK's hand & guiding her through the shallows while they threw Dayton into the deep end and were like "we're disappointed you're not swimming as well as VK."

Same here.  I'll never meet any of them.  But I love this type dancing and the synchronization is usually very good.

Kelli's figure looks quite fetching this year.

[Kimrs]

Quick question and I apologize if this has been answered.  With all of the talk about point...does the girl chosen as point have to be in show group?

Also after reading 170+ pages of comments about how much Victoria is already being featured, I have no desire to buy this season.  So it is up to all of you lovely people at this wonderful forum to keep me posted. 😁. The only way I would ever consider buying this season is if it isn’t “Victoria Making the team” when I would prefer (and it is supposed to be) “DCC Making the team”

I like this video, particularly Molly confessing to be a sweater (as am I), but besides maybe Kristen, this isn't so much "self-care" as "grooming." What I really want to know is Maddie's hair routine--I know not everyone likes it, but it's goals for me.

Kelli acted like she hated Dayton. I’m still wondering what the deal is there.

I picked up on something as well. Kelli was more harsh with Dayton than VK. Dayton being late to makeovers didn’t help.  I felt the way Kelli dealt with Dayton was out of proportion to anything she could have done.

Personally think Kelli etc was pissed that Dayton was def good enough to get into TCC but not quite picking up choreo fast enough to make it this putting aunt Kelli in awkwArd spot bc she knew she was going to have to cut her, which makes her look bad.

I don't think these women are as "unknown" to Kelli and producers as we may think. They don't just randomly assign a camera crew and a mic pac to specific girls on the first day and in the early stages. They look at resumes, their work in local dance schools (Kitty's)--and many of them are scouted and/or referred by current and past DCC. And let's not forget repeat candidates and an occasional former vets. AND we don't know when Kelli taped these remarks.

"boss" of the TCCs? 🤔 which episode?

Hmmm not sure if boss was the phrase but something about her not vibing with the vets in TC because she was acting like she knew everything about TC since she'd been there before. K&J basically told her she needed to learn her place. It was in either the 3rd or 2nd to last episode of season 13.

as much as I love Aveda, Be Curly never did anything good for me either.  They used to have a leave-in conditioner (Elixir) I'd mix with the light gel (Confixor), and that worked beautifully (as did the Brilliant gel) when I'd wear my hair natural, but I can't do curls anymore and there's seriously nothing they've got for straightening that seems to work well for me. 

The girls' hair looked really beautiful in their cameos this year.....I remember thinking Taylor in particularly was rocking the hell out of it.  Wish I could get my hands on whatever it is they were using at the shoot, because it clearly works.

Yes, her treatment of Dayton was just shocking.

Shelly works for the organization and has to deal with these people day in and day out.  Tina may be a friend but she isn't a very good one from what I have heard (Not talking to Kelli after the cut and not going to family night -- pretty petty -- but mother like daughter I suppose.)

VK consistently falls out of turns & does not stay in her own space when dancing. None of her previous coaches have been able to break her of these habits and Kelli did not even look like she was trying to correct them last year. I doubt she is this year either.

I believe it was last season they showed Dayton practicing in front of her mom & Shelly pointed out that she was not coaching her, pointing out mistakes in choreography, etc. She was only giving her very general advice -- need more power, more pop, etc. She specifically said she would not do anything to give Dayton an advantage over the others.

I wonder if TPTB will oooh and aaah when she falls out of turns and doesn't maintain her line on game day.  

what am I saying -- of course they will.

and they might wonder why they had <150 girls trying out this year.  I would imagine that the word gets around when the "fix is in" and girls start wondering, "why bother?"

Alanna Tarango is on my ‘Love’ column. Let there be no doubt about that. Her smile is an eternal well to my heart. She never makes mistakes and everything she does is positive. A little Miss Sunshine!

It cannot be only her eyebrows. I looks more that something is different with her eyes and her nose.

She looks fantastic here.... reminds me of the super sexy DCC from the 90s and early 00s. There was just something about that generation of cheerleaders... they were sultry without trying too hard. This pic ofAlanna really reminds me of that for some reason.

I think we were saying the same thing when we all realized how many of last year’s rookies were returning. Assuming all vets had made it back, weren’t there only 7-8 spots for new rookies? And knowing one of those was likely predetermined for VK, it’s a super competitive year. 

Plus Kelli always can count on some returning TCC (Lily, Kristen, etc.,) she knew about the Mavs dancers shutting down, she knows who is coming from ice angels, local studios, TCU/SMU Pom, etc. 

High veteran return and the Mavs dancers shutting down was enough. I honestly expected more veterans to be cut, but I think some of the weaker veterans dance wise are dependable 3/4 year girls they don’t want to risk. Which is why the point thing is so unclear.
