Anyone else think it was cruel to put that Road to DCC girl on the bad dancers clips? I mean she really is not up to par with last year’s rockstar rookie class but neither are basically any of this year’s TCC candidates, but why be mean when she’s really working hard and investing a lot of emotion and time into this? Just give her a you’re not quite there no and don’t embarrass her on TV.

I thought it was in poor taste and the clip they showed didn't come off as that bad. I don't think her dream was realistic, but I also don't think she is the worst person to walk through the door.

Now I wonder where they were originally going with the whole Milan thing, cause K&J and Kitty came off looking supportive about her choosing school over SG.

Kelli knows they have to come off a pro-education, when in reality, they're DCC before everything.

I think Kitty took a big SM hit last year along with VK -- people were left wondering where her credibility went when it came to VK and the idea that she could lose 11 pounds in the three weeks left in training camp -- that and the sticker debacle.

I know where her credibility went -- Tina's back pocket which is a convenient location when you are kissing ass.

Did anybody see the FB post that showed Tina and Kitty joining in TS at someone's wedding?  I couldn't watch -- i was afraid of gagging on my keyboard.

If Kitty took a SM bashing, frankly, she deserved it. 

I didn't watch that video---anyone have a link?

If Julia did say "Fuck this," then I'd like to compliment her on summing up my feelings about this entire season so succinctly.

I just slogged through pages here to get all caught up, and have a few comments.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't think solos have much bearing on who actually makes training camp. It gives tricksters the opportunity to show off what they can do, but in the long run it doesn't matter if a girl can spin like a top or can touch the ceiling with her leaps, because the girls don't do that on the field anyway. It's power pom dancing.

A really strong solo can get you noticed, so the judges pay more attention to you when you're auditioning on the field and during the kickline. On the other hand, a poor solo will also make them watch more closely, but as long as you can dance with the group, have strong kicks, and look like a DCC, it doesn't matter.

Also- everyone calling Malena "Melena" is seriously making me laugh. "Melena" is a medical term for dark, tarry stools that you see with an upper GI bleed. The stools appear dark because the blood is digested. Please stop calling her Melena for my sake!

I love catching up on this forum when I'm a ton of pages behind. Gives me something to do for 10-15 mins haha.

First off, I finally got around to watching the finals episode, and guys... Gabby :(. I think I've made it pretty clear that she was one of my favorite rookies from last year, if not my No. 1 favorite. So this is a totally biased answer. I really really REALLY do not think she should've been cut. Not over Victoria, not over Chrstina. I mean, come on! I get that the weight was a problem, but if Victoria can be "given the respect," why can't, ya know, AN ACTUAL VETERAN be given it. UGH...so frustrated.

REALLY appreciated Madeline's answer about not considering herself a legacy because she had to earn it. What a refreshing idea!

Also, it seems to be that Kelcey is the rookie that has so far flown under the radar. Just wanna say, she's freaking drop-dead gorgeous and I have no idea why I didn't notice her earlier ;).

Thanks for the intel, I had no idea. SDW comes across as a "big sister" to so many of the AAIA, they seem to love her. It's surprising to see those kinds of cuts.

I agree. I don't think there's anything wrong with singing as part of your solo. The women already get to demonstrate their power pom and high kick skills in other parts of the audition process. The solo is a chance to show what makes a girl different/special and give the judges a reason to choose her over someone else.

Back when show group did the variety show, the team needed singers, and demonstrating that you could sing during your solo, could definitely give you an edge in getting picked for TC. If you waited until SG auditions to show that talent, you might not even get on the team. They don't need singers the way they used to, but I expect the judges think it's a nice change of pace from the 75 jazz/lyrical solos. (I think this is also why tap/hip-hop solos are so appreciated.)

I don't think the judges are annoyed by singers. They're annoyed by women who try to sing and are bad at it. 

When I was tempted to fly over and audition myself, I would've done tap as my solo if I got to finals. I know it's not always really popular but it's always been my best style.

Amy's tap was always a little cheesy to me; I prefer either classic Gene Kelly/Fred Aistaire tap or try to modernise it. Maybe it's just Amy I'm not that keen on.

Who is the feeble older lady that comes out with kitty for the 2nd half? Is it actually a former DCC or just someone’s grandma that wanted to get in on the action? They looked like they were about to break an ankle or a hip.. 

Pretty sure that's the one and only Tina Kalina (VK's Mama).

wait I think I missed something...Kitty is not going to be on the show this year? she's upset about how she looked last season?

Loosely translated, someone said that she said that the CMT editing made it appear she was a horrible bully who said only mean things to the girls.  As for her comment she made about giving VK respect and time to lose the weight with only 11 days left of TC, I do believe that could have been said at any point in TC and CMT just decided to insert it wherever they liked in the series.  

It appears that this season Kat is going to be portrayed as the TC idiot who can barely walk and chew gum much less kick and take life seriously.

Personally I think CMT is snickering all the way to the bank.

Kristin posted a video of her practicing her solo, and I was shocked how thick her midsection was.  Not to sound like a broken record, but for me it’s just the hypocrisy of it all.  If you’re going to not only call some people out but cut them allegedly for THIS reason, then you can’t simply overlook it for others.

meaning she has overdone Botox, but I can tell she follows her dermatologist’s instructions better than Kelli and Judy... who I just want to remind not to forget their décolletage. It’s a dead giveaway when your face looks young and your chest doesn’t. A quick laser treatment should fix the problem...   

honestly the DCC need beauty consultants to tell them these simple things like... I see sun spots, get IPL. You lost too much fat under your eyes, time for restalyne. I know they have a sponsorship with Setty plastic surgery but it’s beyond obvious that no one is sitting them down and telling them what exactly will improve their appearance the most. They’re probably just giving them money to use for facials, laser hair removal, or whatever they chose. They need real consults. But I understand why they don’t get them bc real consults cost real $$$

.... and setty isn’t even the plastic surgeon I’d choose in Dallas if I wanted the best. They should be consulting on the girl’s skincare routines and procedures in the exact same way that they have Marshall consult with hair. 

My gosh, that all sounds massively depressing. I'm so glad to live in the middle of nowhere where I can just turn into a nice old lady without having to worry about fat under my eyes or getting my chest lasered.

You can live anywhere and not care. It’s a choice. The thing is, DCC are meant to be standards of beauty and even KJC are in the spotlight. If they took a “beauty doesn’t matter” approach then it wouldn’t. But they don’t.

Amy’s tap looks like it would be adorable for a five year old to do but she’s like closer to 30.

She only seems to do cute. The costume, her face in general, her expressions, always cute. Like you say, she's a woman, add a little more mature movement. Doesn't have to be sexy but it's almost like she's nicked an advanced competition solo from a pre-teen at her studio. She's a great tapper, like her technique is strong, I just wish she'd do more with it.

Regarding solos I thought the whole point is to show off what you do best that that is what Maddie did. Hip Hop is her best style and catches their attention every time.  If that is the standard then Holly's was the same spin spin spin into split pulling herself across the floor.  She basically did that same routine every time.  I think those are her signature moves.  I agree about tap and singing ... those don't hold the judges attention and makes one think their dance is not that strong or not really good at making a solo 😉

Re: Kitty's "give her the the respect" comment, that comment wouldn't have nearly the impact if given towards any other TCC than Vic.  I may be wrong but I will forever see it as being specifically designed for Vic.

CMT can laugh all they want.  I know many of us are scratching our heads over certain show choices they are making.  IMO, it only makes both the organization and CMT look bad.

OK so going through his Insta he is either on a permanent runners high, sugar high, high on life, or all of the above. How did he and Emma meet? Also, VK looks so thin here it kind of scares me. I went through a workout til your bones stick out phase.....thats what scares me about the DCC. 

LMAO, EXACTLY! That is why I said he is ALWAYS happy, good for him. If I had his money I would smile all the time too. The fact that he hangs out with minors has always been creepy, lets just hope that the person taking all of these pics of him is Emma and he is not alone with them...ever.  I also know that he is an alumni for Samantha's school. I think I saw a post on her page a few months back and she was getting a college ring of some sort and he presented it to her. 

I know that he is a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan, maybe he met Emma in that circle.

This is from at least a year ago, if not more. It was posted here last year during Training Camp as I recall.

The date is August 6th and he mentions that they get together every year for dessert.

I agree, because she went to all their prep classes and I know they know who she is. 

Seriously? I think she looks 60

Opening of training camp at the star 

Ugh.  It looks worse than I anticipated.  Lackluster point with a capital "L".  They could have gone with Bridget or a couple other 2nd years and had tons of sparkle.  It's going to be a long, boring season.  Really feel for Gina as well.  Judy definitely caved.  Sad.

Gina was definitely robbed. She's the one that draws my attention the most because she's the most alive. 

The front triangle is dull. Loving that Caroline is so far forward, she's certainly jumped the queue! 

My eyesight is rubbish. Is that all 18 members? I think I spot Amanda at the back on the right.

Yeah That’s Amanda back there

Looks like Gina and Heather both got bumped back a row, while Tess, Rachel, Caroline, Hannah and Bridget all made prominent moves forward.    

Also, I'm trying to ID the blondes in the last row.  Is this a Show Group performance so we have our three rookies?  If so, my guess is Amanda is the far right corner, and the blond who awkwardly hops to her line near the beginning is likely VK?

I cant find VK IG anymore either. It's been deleted or she is cleaning house and deleted me...lol

I'm still seeing VK's IG.  It's not private (although she posts next to nothing any more).

Looks like at the back (R-L) Amanda, Kelcey, Daphne, Hannah, Victoria.

I can't tell if there's 17 or 18, struggling to spot Cianna!

I count 18 with Ciana in the far left back corner when you're looking at the screen.  I would have guessed that was VK next to her, and Amanda the opposite far right back corner.  Is Kelcey short?  Who is the short dark haired girl on that far right side second to the last row?
