2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers

[MelTexGirl]

I have a quick question - if a vet who already had her pinky ring is cut either at auditions, during  training camp or during the season - are they still considered alumni? Alumni meaning they are invited to events or the taping of the show and such. Or does alumni solely mean retired vets? So people like little heather, Tara, Keyra,  Hanna A, kaitlyn la rae, Jasmine, Erica etc.

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?"

Kelli will be oohing and aahing; Judy will be gritting her teeth/biting her tongue.

How on earth can Kelli say it's going to be the most competitive process ever when she has yet to see any of them dance?

Standard party line -- just like the 400+ (or whatever) auditioning -- doesn't she pretty much say the same thing every year?

Geena Rojas  -- Yes! Thank you @Tootie

Yes!!!  Finally showing some different girls, including Kristen:)

Alana has had some sneaky work done, and it’s not just the eyebrows. But I’m disappointed because she was different before and now she’s just basic white girl.

To me Kristen's eyelashes look those 'magnetic' lashes I've seen advertised on facebook...they look too heavy, ridiculous & fake. 

Can’t stand her. Please cut her and her rediculous eyelashes. How are we the only ones that see this problem!?!?

It's called hype lol The same reason they're still telling us 400 girls came out, was like 140.

It’s called producing a show. Every reality show needs some bites to get you excited. Kelli has been doing this a long time, she can churn out the bites in 15 minutes.

They are alum, but I mean... are you trying to go back and hang at tryouts when they cut you? Pretty sure you aren’t invited and you don’t want to go.

Does anyone know if this season is for sure going to be the VK show? I thought TPTB would be smart & sneak her onto the team quietly to cause less of a fuss. If this season is pretty much only going to feature VK, I’d like to know now, so I can cancel my recording & not watch.

Here is a sneak peek at the judges reactions.  Guess which one doesn’t mind falling out of turns.

I'm not ordering my season until I get an idea of what is going on.  If they do what they did last year, the first ep should be available to watch on CMT.com on Friday night for free.  That might give us an indication.  Of course, I always start reading the boards as soon as the show starts.  That really lets me know what is going on.

Kaitlyn was cut during the fall of her rookie year - no ring, not an alumni.  The others are alumni, but I would say Erica is the only one that might be questionable for invitations and all.

I would bet money that Erica does not appear on TPTB Xmas card list -- if anything they may have asked for the ring back.

Right... what I would give to not have frizzy curls... come on Maddie... spill the secrets!

I'm wildly wavy rather than defined curls, but still need to keep it under some control or I look like bush woman....John Frida's curl creme works well for me...I saw an episode of "What Not To Wear" dealing with the frizz....both Nick Arrojo & Ted Gibson did wonders with curly hair....use a comb, not a brush, twist individual curls, let dry & finger comb....looked great when they did it...seems like it would work.

As for alumni, don't you have to complete the football season before getting a pinky ring?

You have to finish out your contract which runs thru May, which is why Kalyssa never got a pinky ring

Dayton couldn't remember the choreography to save her soul....and bless her heart she tried. I think Kelli was just frustrated with Dayton and it showed on her face....If Victoria makes the team, and it's still an IF, she'll be able to perform to DCC standards. K&J will not compromise the integrity of the team for her. Kelli gets borderline hysterical over a 'wiggly line' on the field, so she won't be keeping anyone who can't be coached.

Dayton didn't struggle with memory that much, I think a lot of what we saw was heavily edited. her leaving the RC cruise early notwithstanding, no one is offered the type of contract she received and has any issues with picking choreography up quickly and nailing it. 

I don't know why Kelli and Judy hated Dayton; to be honest, if I were her mother, after watching the season, there is no way in Hades I'd still work for them. They were cruel for literally no reason.

Several have been going to that plastic surg/cosmetic dermatologist JennK and Lacey went to for fillers and tightenrs. Look at Maddie, Heather and I’m hearing Hannah and Alanna. Glue on some good lash extensions and get that marionette area filled and jaw tightened.

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 don’t see anything wrong with being the next Lacey.

Now I see the transformation, I am a believer. It starts real slow, like a whisper and then it gets louder and louder, until it is a big roar: Alanna for point!

She looks like a Charlie’s Angel, and I am not talking about the newer installments. Those are substandard. Really. No, I am talking Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith-glamour level.

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

I am with you.  I think maybe teeth, too?  It's an amazing transformation.  I really didn't like her look last year.  Let's hope she gets a better dress for etiquette!  Maybe they'll lend her one of the pass arounds!

No you must complete the entire year through the May commitment.  That’s what Kalyssa couldn’t understand be she felt she had done all the football games yet wasn’t getting a pinky ring because she had left early to pursue more lucrative options!

Has anyone thought of doing live tweeting that would give us a chance to chat plus increase the notice to fans & media people at CMT?  I follow a show where we live tweet along with most of the actors.  We not only have attracted producers, writers, & the channel but have gotten media attention for our group & our channel from many other cable channels on how we can be #2 against heavy hitters.  Just a thought!

My 600 lb life also has a "live" thread on Primetimer.   Quite often it can be ruthless.  Especially when the poundticipants say "the scales are wrong" or "I don't know how I gained 20 more pounds."

[MelTexGirl]

I have been thinking about this for a while and honestly never shared my opinion, but after seeing Cassie’s reply it makes me think about it even more. I know I’m reaching and maybe this isn’t even  true. 

Here goes ———

is there any chance that last year was for show and staged. The plan was for her was to get cut so that when people start saying theres favoritism, the standard answer will be “well she was cut last year. If there was favoritism, she would have made the team last year” 

Now I believe that for any of this to be true, it was supposed to be the pain free, no embarrassment kind of cut like “Victoria you’re falling out of your turns and you need more power. You’re cut and come back next year stronger.” kind of cut. I think everything else that happened with the weight gain and Jinelle and the show group drama wasn’t planned. But was there which made the cut more obvious. 

Oh gosh as I’m typing this I know I’m over thinking and reaching so someone knock some sense into me but in reality This has been on my mind for a while.

No, I believe they had every intention of putting her on the team last year until she self-destructed and there was no way they could justify it. 

I don't think they cared one wit about any favouritism claims that may have been lodged at them before the unforeseen debacle last year. If she hadn't gained the weight or acted like such an immature, entitled brat they could have claimed she made the team on her own merit, but with that behaviour & Kelli keeping her so long, their only defense has become "how was she shown favouritism when was cut?" trying to ignore/whitewash over everything else that happened.

Nope, they had no plans on last year turning out like it did. And I think they believe that if they show a much more in control Victoria this year, it'll make up for last year and people will accept the "new and improved A+++ Victoria."

I wish she would have addressed how VK treated Jinelle. That’s the part that baffles me—it was shown on the show so you didn’t even have to hear insider talk to know what went on there—she completely ghosted her and didn’t respond to texts after she was given orders to get help from her. I can’t imagine anyone else in the world would be not cut on the spot for that, let alone invited back to camp for another year. How would that be explained? Does Cassie think CMT edited it unfairly and didn’t show us the real picture?

Jesus, these people have a really low bar for considering someone an "amazing human." And I'm not even hating on VK here, but... she's a 19-year-old cheerleader who is (maybe?) attending part-time community college. Let's not start handing out the Nobel Prizes just yet.

[Holly85]

sounds to me they took Gina Marie into training camp for an easy cut !! 

[loveaux]

Blah blah blah, Cassie can shove that “she’s worked hard!!!! she’s so poised and graceful!!!!!” bullshit up her puffed and fluffed ass and around the corner. Everybody knows she shouldn’t have made it the first time, nor should she have made it when she was out there stumbling and damn near falling on her face her last season.

Even hard body Jay basically said “if this was any other Cassie, would we be giving her a pass?”.

I’m so glad someone else likes Alanna too! I was a big fan last year but I think she gets overlooked a lot. I can easily see her becoming a GL and for sure she’s future point contender. This was the first rookie class in a while in which we have soo many girls who can rise up to the occasion (namely, Bridget, Jalyn, Erin, Hannah, Alana, Amber ans Daphne. I will add Rachel too because they love her). Hope they all stay for five years, especially because that might keep VK away from the triangle 🙂

Ok Lacey and Alanna are obvious. With Heather i’m still not sure but if she got some work, damn I want her surgeon. But Jen? Maddie? Hannah? What did they do? I can’t see any difference honestly-not in Heather/Alanna’s way where bot look amazing and natural, I see no difference at all.

I didn’t realize she ignored responding to Jinelles Texts. That alone would have gotten anyone else cut.

In the military, they call it "closing the ranks".  And, they are doing a great job of it!  Sad for them it isn't working....    And as far as Cassie, you'd think she'd actually be heaving a huge sigh of relief to no longer be the most villified DCC ever.
