I am going to have to go back and search for the lady (Natasha?) from Florida whose mother was a DCC.  She went on to do porn, I remember that.

Natasha McCarley ? We REALLY need to move this to small talk before we get in trouble. I created a post over there.

Okay just one topic from MTT Season 10, the fact that Stephanie Haymen made the team is crazy. Obvs it was a favor to Brooke but seriously she was bordering on chunky the day they took the squad photo. Its so infuriating that it really seems about who you know rather than what you can do. Its infuriating, sigh...

Couldn't agree more!  That was the year that they kept Stephanie and cut Liz Rueter.  I always liked Liz and wished she had made the team.

Unpopular opinion or not, Bridget would be ready and fine as point next year.  She would have been fine this year too (as well as a few other 2nd years).  But I think it would have been hell for any 2nd year that may have been given point this year.  Too much drama from upper vets and I like most of the 2nd years too much to wish that kind of hell upon them.

Which is funny considering that there are only 4 upper vets and the 3rd years are behind several 2nd years anyway. I can see some 3rd years being mean, but none of the 4 ‘senior’.

Im just looking at her position in the fourth line...where Caroline & Gina are in the third. Ashlee is in the same line as Bridget I think. Anyways I like Bridget, but Im saying this year I don't see her being good for point this season like some are saying. Give her another 2 years if she stays. Kelli said something last ep about Bridget "better then last year"...so I don't know how to take that in terms of what she upgraded Dance, Pop, Showmanship? I personally think Bridget can add more pop based off vids I have seen...she is just smiling in some videos and people are loving it, but she isn't doing anything more hype than Heather/Alexis (imo)...and those too bore me to death. 

You’re right. She is in the third row when Amy is point and then gets behind Gina. Still good though. Personally, i would love it if all rockstar 2nd years get to be point. Give it to Caroline next year, next Rachel (they love her), then Amber, then Hannah, Alanna, Bridget, Ashlee... Keep ms.horsemouth away from point-if these girls retire, we will have to deal with VK at point for at least two seasons.

That's the correct answer to the question, though.  Nobody said it had to make sense 🙂 

Well most of the things they say don’t make sense to me so that sounds about right! I wonder if they get these answers though or if they expect the poor girls to be able to answer all these stupid questions perfectly on their own.

Victoria's smile is way better than the season 7 chick.  She is what K&J and Charlotte want for in a DCC look. Tall blonde and a long leg to show off the boots.  I am still rooting for her to have a good season.  The alternative is they all look bad .... who wants that just to say I told you so .... I wish all the rookies a good season 🙂

Nah, we can agree to disagree. Yes they like tall blondes, but her smile ain’t better than the other poor girl’s. Plus, mama Kalina was the one who brought it up and I think it’s so ironic considering her own daughter has the same problem.

Yep her, I remember that picture from one of the seasons when her daughter tried out and the show posted a pic of her mom think it was season 7 or 8 that this was sorry this was my fault I didn’t know who VK was on about with her legacy comments and that it didn’t add up.

Dayton’s 1st yea of tryout someone else tried out and Shelly said who it was, but I can’t remmeber who now.

Back on topic, the videos aren’t great with the mess ups i think my head is spinning with so much change in the triangle during thunder I mean Amy and Maddie could’ve switched places with the points but I’m no trained dancer but I guess that’s a massive transition.

I love Christina. Is she the strongest? Maybe not, but I love her dedication. It's hard to repeatedly try for something after failing multiples times. And once she finally made it, she stuck with it. Not like the quitters of Kalyssa, Alexandria, Milan, ect.   

Agree. I like Christina too. She has that cute sporty look- totally different look from others on the team. I admire her perseverance as well.

Question, there has only been 3 legacy that actually made the squad right, Meredith Oden, Cassie and Victoria. So whose the other 2 that VKis talking about? 

If shes talking about the ones who tried out then it’s adding Dayton, that girl who tried out a few years ago (forgot her name, but her mom cheered in 1985 called Natasha something), that girl who tried out the same year the first time Dayton tried out and then the othe legacy that tried out this year, which means there was 7 legacy that we know (since the show started, unless I’m wrong) that tried out but only 3 got onto the squad.

The 5th is talking about Cassie's daughter ...I don't know who the 4th would be must have been a girl on an older squad or they are speaking on Dayton...which would be weird since she didnt make it....

Has anyone mentioned the performance by the all stars yesterday? Tasha looks big. 😬 Don't get me wrong--I don't blame her whatsoever! After so much scrutiny about your appearance and maintaining weight while you're on the team, I would totally indulge and enjoy after leaving the team. But if you're going to be an all star are you supposed to still look good in your uniform?

p.s. sorry, I don't know how to embed videos from fb/twitter

[JayDKay]

I'm pretty sure when VK is talking legacies she means herself, Sam, Dayton, Cassie & now Lennon. They always take pics together even before they started trying out and we're young calling themselves the legacies. This is the mindset of VK - born into it, already a legacy even if I'm on the team or not!

So what happens when Kelli wants to retire and they bring in an assistant director to start training - what is the least amount of girls needed to do TS?  

Any more guesses on who is sitting out tomorrow night?  If they are continuing with 3rd years who aren't group leaders, I say either Christina, Savannah or Molly.  And the girl who rotates out, is she banned to the locker room or does she even have to be there?  Cause if she is sitting in the locker room, she might as well get paid.  Personally, I think the girl who rotates out should be sitting in the stands drinking beer and eating nachos and just enjoying herself.

Im guessing 36 is the best number and idk I just feel its dumb that they bring 37 knowing one isn't going to get paid for the game, but has to make every practice. 

I mean even athletes that stay on the bench get paid and they might never see the field...

I do wonder how they choose, Im guessing the GL are the only ones safe unless they get hurt or have a job situation where they can't make it. I think they probably help the coaches film/take notes of something when sitting out.

True.  But K&J are constantly reminding the girls that they are to avoid being distracted.  If she is looking for the camera, and then flipping her hair, or winking or whatever, then she is being distracted.

They knew KaShara was retiring.  They have had a year to start showing their best, which is what they should always be doing anyway.  And they saw what happened with KaShara becoming point over Lacey, so that should have been a reality check in itself to "bring it".  So if they took it for granted, then they shouldn't be mean.

[Lolfordays]

There is no way in hell they can possibly make someone show up, sit out, and not get paid. They HAVE to be covering their asses more than that these days.  They have countless eyes on them and more than enough people ready to whistle blow that if true.

Edited August 28, 2019 by Lolfordays

[chrishunt]

The whole “taking 37 but only having 36 on the field because of pay” doesn’t make sense. If the girls are still required to be there, even in the locker room, it’s a work event and legally they must be paid. Shelly said we’d find out the reason on the show, so it’s got to be big enough and DCC appropriate enough to reveal on CMT. I think someone, likely a senior vet, is pregnant or severely injured.

Another idea — someone is being paid via another budget line.

Like Cowboys Fit, for example.

But we have seen all of the senior vets do the jump split.

Listen, it can take forever to “pop”. You can be active, you can run. Exercise.

No one is responsibly jump splitting pregnant.

[pinkandsparkly13]

It's dumb if they make them stay in the locker room if they're not dancing and have to be there. At least let them watch the damn game! Being banished to a locker room for 3 hours? No thanks! Does the person only sit out during Thunderstruck, or can they dance on the sidelines during the game? And they sure as hell can afford to pay that person even if they're not doing TS. So miss me with that nonsense! Lol

I have a feeling legacies most likely will start to increase as years go on ...

actually I'm surprised there hasn't been a 3rd generation give the 1st squad (male & female ) was in 1960.  That was 59 years ago - plenty of time for 2 generations.

I wonder do they have a rule if your 3rd (or more) generation can you skip a 1st round of the audition...

Not seeing Milan as a “quitter” compared to the other two. I think Alexandria tried out just to see if she could make the team and got our of there at the first opportunity she got. 

Yes, Christina finally made it but her solo and interview this year were lame, lame, lame. She’s lucky they kept her after scoring that low compared to the others. 

Just my two cents. I know Christina has a lot of fans.

Madeline's view of how you are not a legacy until you make the team is really so much more appealing then VK and others acting like being a legacy is their due & that a spot should be theirs automatically. It would be interesting if one day one of these kids not only rejected it, but went public & railed on the organization.

Shelly said when the squad was announced that we’ll see why they took 37 and we haven’t yet.. so I don’t think you’re misunderstanding anything yet when nothing has been said. 

It’s been stated by multiple sources that they are rotating two girls due to budget constraints and injuries. They took 37 in case of injury and Charlotte won’t let them set the formation at 37 because she is too cheap to pay for the extra girl on game day. Just because Shelly hasn’t chimed in doesn’t mean what’s been stated isn’t accurate. By all means, if what’s been said is wrong, I’d love to hear all about it! Haven’t caught up yet today so maybe there’s new info!

I'm really leaning towards someone (more than likely a vet) being injured.  I seem to remember in a past season (or more) them taking an odd # of people.

@ShellyB can you please help us conclude this argument by confirming if taking 37 but having 36 dance is an issue of budget constraints or for another reason? I know you’ve said taking 36 girls on the squad is an issue of budget constraints, but is taking 37 and having 36 dance just a matter of K&J not being able to cut a last girl?

I can understand rotating girls to keep a total of 36 but, is it really only between two girls?  They have 10 home games....spread it around!  And if it's between two girls, why is one of them a third year vet who's on Show Group??

I mean... sure. I never said that hers was the end all be all. But she confirmed right away that we would all see why. So I don’t think anyone should be getting flustered about the squad being at 37, not knowing exactly why and not the thought to be 36 when they’ve literally performed in a preseason game nonetheless. Personally, it’s frustrating when everyone has an opinion to throw out hoping their assumption sticks and a multitude take it as fact, then it continues to circulate like its true. It’s helpful to have Shelly, someone who actually “knows”. I’m sure it’s answered on the show... so I feel like it’s not affecting anyone’s life by not knowing exactly why at the moment. It’s 37, I feel like it really doesn’t matter and good for them! 🙂
