I don't think Cassie went to college either. To my knowledge she went from HS, to DCC, to married, and now mom. 

Problems with your thyroid can really thin your hair out.

Cassie did go to college.  She left a few credits shy of graduating, I think because she was pregnant.

On television shows, and executive producer supervises creative content and finances having to do with production.(ie. product placement). With all of the other responsibilities she has with being Director of DCC, she would not really have time to do editing.  The show is filmed in Dallas, but is probably edited at the production company, Triage Entertainment, in Los Angeles.

I didn't mean to imply that Kelli did the actual editing!!  I just meant that they (probably Kelli and assistants) would certainly look at the program before it was to air to make sure the agreed upon story narrative was done to their satisfaction.

Interesting point.  I wonder if her posture issues are tied to her height?  She's very tall and many girls slouch to hide their tallness. Would this effect her ability to center her torso in spins? Jesus, I'm going to have to start being nice, aren't I?

Posture issues could be related to height, but bad posture also doesn't allow for strengthening of core muscles.  Weak core muscles cause one to not be able to hold themselves upright in turns.  Weak core muscles are also evident when girls arch their backs to make their kicks higher.

You would think so, but Kelli seems to not understand why fans weren't happy with her, Kitty and Victoria last year.

I wish they would put the names of the girls when they dance in smaller groups. I cannot tell the girls with YELLOW (not blonde) hair apart.

This is funny!  I've got the blondes down pat, it's some of the brunettes that I can't tell apart!  Molly, brunette Rachel, Miranda, Madeline are the toughest!  😄

I need a list of the DCC in their groups, as well.  I know it was listed by a poster,  but I didn't write the page down to go back to find it.

DMD Ashley got cut after a couple of other DMD girls ratted her out about going to California with DMD’s Maggie’s boyfriend, who allegedly told her if she’d go with him that he’d pay $75K to get her on the DCC.  Maggie was one of the ones who ratted Ashley out.  The guy had lied to Maggie, saying he was going out of town for work but somehow Maggie tracked him down through his office (she works for him) and learned the truth. Also, Ashley posted a photo from the Beverly Hills Hotel (now taken down).  From what I've heard, Maggie is back with this guy now.

So although it's already Monday night, I just now finished watching Friday's episode. I feel like many other posters who state that this season just isn't the same. I hate the new format of "dismissing" the girls and the theme song sucks big time. Also stuff like the "forced" dog park and spa visits could be last year's "Where are they now" clips that we all enjoyed. In past years, I would watch the show almost as soon as it quit recording on Friday nights. Now I sometimes forget it even aired and may not watch until almost a week later because I just don't look forward to the VK show. Sure okay for the posters who constantly defend her - yes she's pretty, has great legs and is a decent dancer. But there are many who are way better and you can't deny the blatant favoritism. I have to admit if I was a vet, this would be my last year no matter how I loved being on the team. Just watching the show and reading the insider's view of the goings on, I'm not sure I'd make it to Thanksgiving with this dynamic. Her giving "advice" to another rookie? Yep Madeline Malloy got reprimanded last season for using her previous year's experience to help other first time rookies. So yeah no favoritism here - riigggghhhhttt. 

Speaking of which, what in ever loving hell did Madeline Salter (or her mother) do to Kelli? Her office visit with Kelli had me screaming at the TV! The "using us a stepping stone" comment (which even got a shocked side look from Judy) was downright bitchy and completely unwarranted! Does Madeline S come across as a social climber? Not even close! I can name several other girls who were more in it for the exposure and notoriety (cough cough Kat, VK, Vivian, et.al) than this girl. I know others have mentioned this several times already but I'm going to say it again. Kelli you're a total bitch and rude AF. Crying over Meredith's "my future is in your hands"?? Really? Just minutes supposedly after you threw that jab out at Madeline S, insulted her and questioned her intentions of being a DCC?  STFU. 

Last comment - Christina's boob job looks ridiculous. I'm all about improving yourself if needed; however she needs to ask for her money back on that hack job. That girl's boobs were right under her collarbone!

I noticed Lisa and DMD Maggie don’t follow Ashley on IG, and she doesn’t follow them either (not counting the girls’ old DMD accounts). So it does seem like something might have happened...

Julia and Lisa follow each other though.

Beyond the fact that Madeline did not even give off the impression that she’s a social climber, the whole “stepping stone” comment was ridiculous since this is supposed to a so-called part time job. Last I checked, part-time jobs that can’t financially support an adult are supposed to be stepping stones. Kelli truly believes that DCC should be the highlight of every girl’s life. If Madeline wants to go on to dance on Broadway, good for her. Broadway is more prestigious than DCC whether Kelli likes it or not. Same with Jacie and the Rockettes.

Kelli getting emotional over Meredith’s “future in your hands” comment actually ticked me off. Other girls have said that to her and she cut them in the same conversation.  Mallory, cut on her first night called into the office, is one example.  It simply means they know they are being evaluated when Kelli is there and the anxiety makes them perform worse.   For Kelli to tear up over such a profound epiphany 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 is ludicrous.

I felt like the segment on Lisa about her college days came across snarky and arrogant. She does sound very intelligent and driven to have such high educational pursuits and wanting  to dance,  but they way she retold her story sounded flippant and braggadocious. She certainly didn't cross me as humble, a trait I'd hope the TPTB would want for any DCC.

These girls are damned if they do, damned if they don’t with some fans. Goodness. I would highlight the hell out of my accomplishments if I accomplished half of what these women do. If I graduated from college in a notoriously difficult field and successfully danced for my college (which means that they probably had mandatory team workouts, supported men and women’s sports teams, possibly competed at College Dance Nationals). Girls are constantly chastised for being “career DCC“ and the ones who have actual accolades outside of DCC are accused of not being humble? On what planet does that make sense? Do some of y’all feel the same way when you hear men mention their accomplishments? I’ve never heard people complain when men mention their varying interests. When Tom Brady mentions being a football player and an author, do you feel like he’s bragging? I’m so confused on what some feel like she should have said? This isn’t even taking into account the fact that the producers probably specifically asked her that question.

Would someone please 🙏🙏 pretty please catch me up on a couple things. 

#1 Have there been any post camp cuts?

#2 Is either Kat or Meredith not performing on the field? Do they dance at all during field performances  or hidden?

#3 are there new people managing images that are uploaded? I am sickened by the deformed waistlines being peddled. And further warp young ladies minds of beauty and health.

VK may not be as savvy with her backstabbing as Lisa, but she's the one with the power  when it comes to DCC. I purport that Lisa has befriended VK and will take permanent residence inside her a$$crack to keep her place on the team and get away with mean-spirited antics towards others. 

You make me laugh. This is the kind of remark my mother would make. If you didn't know her really well, you wouldn't think she'd even think something like this, but she came up with many zingers in her day. I guess it's naive of me to think that these girls (the whole team, I mean) could really just be friends and not be out to sabotage one another. But now that I've seen how truly mean Kelli is, it kind of makes sense that this atmosphere exists among them. It must be like perpetually being in high school to have to deal with such crap. One of the best things about growing up is letting go of all the pettiness and silly dramas of the teenage years. Too bad those in charge of DCC haven't learned that.

With intense apprehension and dread, I attended my 20th high school reunion in 1997.  In those 20 years, I got an education, a great job, lost weight, got my teeth straightened out, and married a great man.  I lived a great life, but all I could think about was the hell I lived in high school.

Within minutes of entering the venue of my high school reunion, my fear vanished.  People were actually glad to see me and even gladder I came.  I had more fun at my 20th reunion than I did for my junior and senior proms.

I've gone to my 40th reunion and the welcome was the same.

My 40th was actually the best of the reunions I attended. Nobody gives a crap anymore about who got what that they didn't really deserve, who was popular, etc. And now I have a ton of FB friends from high school who didn't even talk to me when we were together in school, even guys. It's probably the best thing about having to get old. You don't take yourself so seriously, and you can truly be happy for others when something good happens or sympathize with them through the bad times rather than talking behind their backs and hoping they don't get everything they want. Really I loved high school and I had loads of friends, but there definitely was a caste system there. I'm not proud of the way I behaved, either. But now we can all just enjoy one another and wish each other well. I always tell people not to be afraid to go to reunions. Everybody grows up sooner or later.

You're lucky you've never had to deal with that in the workplace.  Nothing like a woman in her late 40's being petty and mean to get attention, or a gossipy woman about to turn 60 dealing with boredom from an empty nest/no grandchildren stirring the pot.  Don't miss that job:)

Now with Kelli, she's not only putting up with the crap, but using it to stir the pot herself.  Unfortunately, with the popularity of the squad and the show, it will continue.  When you watch the old eps, it's funny how many of the TCC's talk about Kelli's business like approach and her professionalism.  I wonder what they would say now.

I would say, IMHO, that the way she spoke to/ handled Dayton last year and Jalyn this year matched her evident disdain for past candidates such as Ashley Paige and even 50-yard Kelsey in her rookie year.  Without any on-screen justification for the vitriol, it makes her come across as a less-than-professional director.  Everybody is going to have people they don’t like as well as others but when you are in a position as a team director (akin to a coach) I believe that you need to hide your feelings better if you are purporting to build a team of camaraderie.  At least that is how I am interpreting the discussions of her “mean girl” behavior.

Oh that’s right - she was the one who was told dancing and being a biomedical engineering major would be too much and she wanted to prove them wrong and did.   I guess it was a little braggy, but not that bad (I thought Daphne’s UCLA rant was 100 times worse).

She seemed nice in the segment at the vet hospital I remember though.

I do wonder if Lisa works at a job in the engineering field now, or otherwise, what was the deal w/ getting that degree?   A lot of engineering firms recruit in colleges and want people fresh out of school.  Not sure an engineering major who spent 2-3 years as a yoga instructor/DCC after college would get the same opportunities as one coming straight from college.

As someone who has a BS and MS in an engineering field, I completely believe she was told this. When I was an incoming freshman I said I wanted to take Spanish classes along with my engineering curriculum and was told I wasn’t supposed to because the engineering curriculum is so hard and demanding that they don’t like you to do anything else along with it. So good for Lisa for not listening to them and doing what she wanted to do, I was too young and dumb to realize I didn’t have to listen. 

This is also why I am so impressed with Melissa W, who got a dance degree (maybe a minor?) along with her engineering degree. That is a tough and demanding schedule and she seems to have excelled at it. 

I don’t know the truth about Lisa but to me she comes off as someone who is intelligent and driven. Time will tell if the other girls like her.

Wish I could say the same about the people I went to HS with.  When I went to my 10th...it was like being in HS all over again...and I see these people out and about on a regular basis...the ones who go to the HS reunions...are the "popular" kids and all they want to do is relive the glory days.  I refuse to waste money on going to any of them.  I've skipped my 15th-30th and will skip the 35th as well. (they do them every 5 years so they don't have to wait too long to relive their HS days) 😛

However, She has a degree in an extremely male dominated field.... one of my sister’s friends was the only female engineering major at UT, and this was less than ten years ago. Lisa’s academic accomplishments should be applauded and valued. Screw being humble..... what she accomplished is bad ass and A TON of work. smart women are still threatening to some... if she were a man no one would tell her to be humble. 

Now if she got my girl Julia cut, she’s dead to me. 😂

Besides this perceived favoritism w/ VK, what has Kelli done recently that is so unprofessional?  She used to be plenty bitchy sometimes back in the early days of the show and I really haven’t seen much of a change at al.  I mean think about how she was to Ashley Paige, Brandi w/ the curly hair, Megan Flaherty, etc.   Being the director of a cheerleading squad sometimes requires/leads you to be bitchy and say honest and brutal things.   She’s still a great director.

I would say that we have plenty of good, solid evidence that Kelli's so-called "perceived" favoritism is ACTUAL favoritism.  There's been hints of it over the years, but last year (and several times this year) just flat out showed us that, if she likes a girl, she'll do everything she can to put that girl on the squad no matter what, even if the girl has memory problems, has trouble dancing, whatever.  It was too obvious with Victoria and Malena last year and is too obvious with Victoria, Kat and Meredith this year.

I would say, IMHO, that the way she spoke to/ handled Dayton last year and Jalyn this year matched her evident disdain for past candidates such as Ashley Paige and even 50-yard Kelsey in her rookie year.  Without any on-screen justification for the vitriol, it makes her come across as a less-than-professional director.  Everybody is going to have people they don’t like as well as others but when you are in a position as a team director (akin to a coach) I believe that you need to hide your feelings better if you are purporting to build a team of camaraderie.  At least that is how I am interpreting the discussions of her “mean girl” behavior.  

Definitely how she spoke to and dealt with Dayton last year (mainly because Dayton was far better than Victoria in too many aspects and, thus, seen as a threat to Victoria actually making the squad as well as showing her up).  I would also say that, in addition to how Kelli has treated Jalyn this year (and probably still is), I would add Madeline S. this year and Brennan to a lesser degree last year.  Both Brennan and Madeline S. had their desire to be a DCC questioned and were asked if they're doing this for the right reason.  Madeline S. was even asked if she was going to go on to other things and essentially use DCC as a stepping stone.  Inappropriate as all get out.

Yes, she does.  Also FAR too many pictures of Rachel W.  When they only show 8 pictures and at least 3 of the individual pictures are of Rachel W. . .

pro dance cheer has an unhealthy obsession with Rachel W. They ALWAYS have at least half the pics of her.
