Now let's move to the "across the field". Did anyone notice Chandi nailed every line (possibly the first go at it) and looked great doing it? 

Sadly, I almost forget that Chandi is in training camp (and she's one of my favorites). It's hard to remember her when she's never featured.

...how do people feel about a triangle of Gina, Caroline and Jayln?

I'd love a Gina/Caroline/Jalyn triangle, or better yet a Gina/Bridget/Jalyn triangle. I think that B & J can hold their own with Gina at the point. But sadly, I think Jalyn's future looks grim because she dared to offer helpful advice to the Goddess of Perfection.

Two possible explanations for Julia’s cute: 

1.  Charlotte doesn’t like her.

2.  Julia was too similar in look to VK. 

I'm going with both. I stand by my conspiracy theory with Charlotte and we all know that Kelli needs to pick a variety of Caucasian girl hair colors to bring "diversity" to the squad.

I cannot love this post enough. I think I have a total girl crush on sweet, smart Madeline and really hope she comes back stronger than ever. I will absolutely be cheering for her 1,000%!

Too bad Madeline didn't gain a ton of weight, lie about going to the doctor, and blame a 5-year-vet staff member. Then she could come back next year with a guaranteed spot on the team and SG!

This is Texas...when you move there, your neighbors will be by to welcome you...in that first meeting someone will ask you "what's your home church?" Pastoral counseling can be very reassuring even if you aren't religious.

Lived in South Texas, San Antonio, Austin and Lubbock and have never been asked about religion/church from neighbors but when I was stationed in AL, found that to be true from all the locals.  More likey to be asked where we went to school and place of occupation. 

Watching the episode again and still annoyed with the pastor segment. Insensitive. Have a private check in with her and not expect her to grieve for the camera.

Im really mad at fucking Kelli, she always say things that doesnt come from the girls mouth, like last week's episode when she told Madeline that she was using DCC as a platform for her future and that was really offensive, like  for real bitch?? She didnt say any word and she came out with the BS and poor Madeline was afraid of that awful comment, Kelli always creates herself issues in her head.

Unpopular opinion: But Maddie looks skinny and looks good this year.

In my opinion, Kelli will never select Madeline on the team.    She only kept her around this long to humiliate her.    It could be that there was a lot of history between Kelli and Madeline's mother, or maybe Kelli doesn't want any other legacies around, but Madeline should move on and stop letting Kelli pick on her. 

I totally agree. The snotty way Kelli talked to Madeline the first time about using the DCC as a “stepping stone” tipped me off that she did not like Madeline at all. I don’t know if Kelli did not like Madeline’s mother or what the backstory is on that.

I do get why they cut Madeline. She needs another year of work. But after seeing the smug self-satisfied look on Kelli’s face after Madeline left the room, having NOT told her to come back (although Judy did), you can tell there’s no way Madeline is getting back into training camp next year.

Madeline needs to move on to better things than the DCC.

It’s pretty hard to reverse the damage once you land on Charlotte’s “no” list. Only Ann Luxe managed to survive as far as I know. And I think that’s only because I think Kelli and the vets really liked her.

Word. Maddie and Amy need to go in the worst way.  They are destroying the brand w/ those two so featured.  Ugh that beautiful picture of the triangle ruined w/ Maddie in front, all those photos on the studio wall of Maddie.  Please make it stop.   I didn’t think Kashara was a good dancer and she always had weight issues, but at least she looked the part.

Right. The locker room/attitude issues are likely correct but for CMT and DCC to show us a picture with no stickers and not even address it is insulting. They've addressed "locker room and toxic" things before - why not this year?

So I just got home and decided to watch the first segment of tonight's show. It is about 12 mins long. In that 12 min segment I counted 35 times where VK was either the actual center of the shot or the camera was zoomed/fixed on her. Yes in the stadium tour there were only 6 rookie candidates present. But hey do we wanna mention rock star DCC Abigail Klein on the wall? Of course because there's a VK memory! Complete with a mommy and me pic. At the field segment with the preacher, they are all seated and Tess is on the front row and VK is all the way on the back row next to Caroline (how dare they put her back there). However when they all stand up (one would think in about the same spot where they were sitting) Tess is telling her story about her concerns several months back about her hometown and guess who is suddenly right beside her? Yep our star of MTT. Then Daphne is talking about her grandfather passing away. Guess who's lurking right there in those numerous camera shots right along with Daphne? Yep that one. 

Now let's move to the "across the field". Did anyone notice Chandi nailed every line (possibly the first go at it) and looked great doing it? Go on with your sassy self girl! Now hang on...here comes the line with VK in it. Did I just see the golden child miss EVERY SINGLE LINE?? Okay yeah let's cut her some slack as it's the first time trying it. *Bonks self on head. Nope it isn't because she did this last year in training camp and probably for the last 5 years or so practicing before she tried out. Let's rewind this DVR show because maybe that's not the anointed one missing every line. That simply cannot happen. Must be someone else. Replays that scene. Nope. #Illegitimatedcc misses every line. Camera pans to Kelli making weird/shocked face. Ooh is she going to tell her precious V that she missed every line? Perhaps correct her? Offer a vet to help her? No way Jose. She goes after Meredith who we know needs help and isn't that strong. But at least Meredith did actually hit the line once or twice.

Cuts to commercial. That's all I can watch for now. Turns off recorded show and sets remote down. Guess that sneaky ole "perceived favoritism" doggone popped up again dang it. Hate it when that happens 🙄

Never thought I'd miss crazy poem-writing self absorbed Vivian, space brain with great abs Morgan, or bad dancing smart ass Chelsea from previous seasons. But yeah seasons 1-13 are miles above this one.

Yes it was an I noticed Kellis face when shania was thanking her I got the impression kelli didn’t care 

I got that sense as well. It felt rather contrived, like they wanted to make the effort to show Kelli interacting with her like "look Kelli's a caring person.". I don't know, I just had the feeling every time they cut to Kelli's face that she was thinking, "ok, ok, you're welcome. Now can we move on to the practice? I don't want to be here filming all night."

This really proves that Kelli's claims about the squad being elite with the best dancers is hogwash. If it were true, there is no way that Meredith with her two stickers & constant mistakes would have made the squad over Julia with her eleven stickers & consistently great dancing!

Lisa has so few stickers she even has less that Shaina.  What is the point of wasting peoples time to put the stickers on if Kelli just turns around and does what she wants.

Did it ever occur to anyone that Kelli might be jealous that other DCC alumni have beautiful talented daughters with the DCC look?  Maybe the only reason Cassie and VK weren't treated like crap is because she's so close to Judy and Tina.  I'm not sure about Kelli's relationship with Kim Oden, but Meredith was accepted unlike Dayton and Madeline S who were given the evil treatment as if it was personal or something.  They both have the look and talent.  Although a little bit more polish may be in order for both, it didn't warrant the harsh way they were handled.  This isn't to put down Samantha in any way.  She seems like a lovely young lady, but she doesn't have the DCC look or dance ability (from what I've read here) so perhaps Kelli is envious when other alumni have daughters who come out of the womb waving silver and blue pom poms.  Just a little speculation on my part.

We know Meredith is Kelli's pet project. We've seen this before. Malena and arguably Victoria were pets last year but couldn't make the squad due to the high talent level. The process isn't equal. If Kelli is invested in you as a person - you get more chances then other people. You may not make it - but you get many more chances. It's not fair at all but it's life especially in a "sisterhood."

Honestly the only reason I hate seeing  blatant favoritism is because under this Kelli system - Dayton really should have gotten more chances last year.

Maddie does look great this year. She's maturing (and is a late bloomer, I think) so has lost most the 'little girl" look she's had. 

I respectfully disagree.  She doesn’t look like a DCC.  Her hair looks like a bad 80’s perm, her smile is gummy as all hell, and she has a double chin.   At best she’s cute in a middle school band girl/softball player type of way, but she has zero glamour or hotness factor about her and should not be point.   If they are going to insist on featuring her, I really hope she retires.  Same goes for Amy.

Regardless of the what church do you go to questions, there's no denying that religion is a huge part of Texas culture - Dallas in particular. I grew up in Irving and still have family there. When I go home to visit, I'm always reminded about how different it is from the rest of the country. Bringing your pastor to work to counsel your employees would set off alarm bells at 99% of other workplaces but somehow for the Cowboys organization everybody says - great! let's do it! FWIW, I thought the pastor had a good tone for his remarks and I was just impressed that Kelli goes to a small, diverse parish rather than a mega church with baristas.

But they talked about Abigail as the model DCC, right?  The same Abigail who used the DCC as a stepping stone to her acting career???

Abigail Klein, Sarah Shahi and Jill Marie Jones are a few former DCCs who have had success in Hollywood.  Maybe they're the reason Kelli "used to get offended" or whatever she said about women who used DCC as a stepping stone.  If anything she should use it as a selling point to DCC hopefuls.  'We're a finishing school for future stars'  LOL.

I like Kelli, so I hate having to say this, but I sensed a little complacency in her face during that scene too and part of me wonders if she was disappointed that Shaina didn’t speak up during the Pastor session and was angry about it.   Like was she thinking “I did this whole thing for you to help you deal w/ what happened - and you didn’t even say anything? - wth?” - I hope I’m wrong and she’s not upset w/ Shiana over something like that, cause it would be very wrong to get upset w/ someone for not grieving the way you expect them to (everyone handles things differently), but who knows.

I would've handled it the same way Shaina did.  Everyone isn't comfortable sharing their feelings about personal tragedy.  I hope Kelli wasn't using the segment for publicity for the show, but was actually trying to help Shaina and others deal with grief.

I agree 100%.

Kelli takes things personal. She had arranged her pastor to come down. She had planned this whole thing for Shaina to come forward and tell all about her loss (which was, let's be honest, a national news item). When Shaina didn't say anything, her plan didn't work out and she went to her standard insulted, humiliated place and had to fight with all of her east Texas strength to keep her mouth saying horrible things to Shaina in public.

When you are a director for so long and you tend to lose a lot of empathy, and that was on display on Kelli's face.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I have known a few preachers that were also actual counselors, with Master's degrees in Counseling, and supervised counseling sessions, and were actually professionals at clinical counseling,   However, I think it was despicable for Kelli to have the preacher come to the TCC, and expect the women to get up and announce their losses.   

 I suspect if Shaina gets cut, that was the moment Kelli decided she was getting thrown out.    My guess is she won't be coming back either next year.    It would be different if Kelli told Shaina that her pastor is a great counselor, and if she wanted to talk to him she would give her the contact information.   However, having a public group session was terrible.
