A notch.  Or four.  VK is a much prettier girl without all the crap on her face.  It doesn't fix the gums and huge teeth but she's prettier than she is on TV.

How about Veruca on the tour of the locker room oh hi, if you’re a foot taller than everyone else why walk in the front? You’re obstructing the view rather than be considerate of the shorter ladies she cared nothing but being front and center, nothing has changed with that child bc yes that is what she is a spoiled child... #illegitmateDCC

I am not a trained dancer, and I can see oh so many mistakes in VK’s  dancing. And just to be clear, I am not a fan. But I certainly don’t hate the young lady. I just hate that we are being forced into the narrative that she is not only THE comeback girl of the millennium, but she is also par excellence.  

THANK YOU!  It is good, but definitely not great.  Her leg seems to come down fast and heavy, caused by lack of core strength.  She seems to be the only one pulling up her skirt.  Her are positions are a bit off as well.

Wow.   So taller girls are required to walk in the back of any group or it’s rude?   Back to my theory that people just tend to dislike taller women who actually are outgoing and bold as opposed to quiet and reserved.  I think it’s a subconscious jealousy over the attention they get honestly.

Also from that latest dance video of them in red dresses I’m starting to doubt that VK is even really that tall?  She looks to be the same height as Madeline M and Taylor???  Are they all 5’9”?  Madeline M always seemed kind of shorter to me.l

VK has excellent extension in her arms, legs and hips and it’s on full display in this dance.  No dancer is perfect at everything, but this video showcases what she does well.

How she holds her hands is impeccable too.  Wish my daughter could get hers like that - it would provide me with so many more good pictures.  I’ve had so many what would be perfect photos ruined by a goofy hand.

She does have nice extension and she's a fine dancer.  However she does lack core strength. Her movements appear heavier. To continually improve, as dancers should strive to do, she needs to work on superior control and intentional placement.

Yeah I need my tall girls to be quiet! Lol I've never heard of people being jealous of tall, outgoing girls. Maybe models. I've definitely heard of people making fun of really tall girls, not that it's right. Now I've wished I was taller sometimes but for the most part I'm happy being only 5'1" and not outgoing. Lol I've gotten plenty of attention too in spite of it I guess. 

But I get what they're saying about VK obstructing people's views and that's it.

I agree the makeup and the last extensions are a bit much, as is the bleached blonde hair, but that’s what’s in nowadays w/ the young girls.  I mean around me you got girls w/ pink hair, gray hair, 4 inch roots on purpose - huge fake eyebrows and insane lashes.   Not mention the fake tans.  The natural look really isn’t in even though us older ladies think it looks ridiculous.

VK is very pretty - and her heavy makeup and take lashes fits in  w/ today’s standards for a 19 year old.   I agree her hair cut is a little dated, but isn’t that how Dallas is?  Always 3-4 years behind NYC, etc. when it comes to hairstyles?

[DAthene]

I remember Kinzie being a taller dancer and usually settling in the back during the large group rehearsals.  I never could determine if she did it because she was one of the shyer girls or if she was giving some of those super petit girls a chance to see the instruction from close up. 

I have friends who are over 6 feet and I agree that they are viewed as overly aggressive or attention seeking when they are louder.  Totally unfair. 

I have never had a problem or even Given it a second thought when Victoria moves to the front to learn choreography. I’ve always seen that as she is extremely eager to learn. I did have an issue with her in the front during the tour only because she was in that locker room the year before. She was one of the later cuts and she definitely had a few days on the field and therefore was in that locker room.

it is sad that Kelli and TPTB have made her such a divisive element. If they didn’t force her as a feature so often, I don’t think she would garner as much of the vitriol she gets on these forums.

She'll never know, or have, the satisfaction of something well-earned through hard work and perseverance. She was GIVEN her spot on this team because of who she is, and who she knows. She didn't EARN it in any shape, form or fashion, like 99% of the rest of these young women have to do. THAT'S why I do not care for VK. And no amount of Kelli, and CMT, shoving her in my face; and praising her "greatness", will change that.

I saw VK bobble too. VK also annoyingly kept lifting up her skirt when the other dancers did not.

She did earn it cause she 1. can dance good enough to be on the team and make show group as a rookie, and 2. she lost weight and 3. she toned down the immaturity - everyone on the show, both long term people, guests and GLs clearly agree.   She has every sticker possible.

VK went to dance classes and put in work to improve at the DCC style and now has it down - just like Erin and Maddie did after they were cut their first year yet they are praised and credited for their hard work, but VK is not?  Why is that?

VK also put in work to lose a significant amount weight which is honestly something that doesn’t happen a lot on the show.   Gabby was on WW all last year and still came back heavy.

I still love Gabby! Lol seeing pics of her throughout the season last year, she didn't look bad at all. She wasn't someone that was obviously too heavy IMO. She just didn't get a pass like so many other freaking girls over the years.

It's not inappropriate to offer it as an option. It's absolutely inappropriate to require your employees to receive "counseling" from any sort of religious figure.

[sugarplum]

I realize that it was a pastor speaking, but honestly, what he said was not religious, just uplifting and motivational. I didn’t hear any specific religious undertones at all. I’m sure he could have done that off camera, but what was shown wasn’t exactly “religious”.

I had three friends in college who were 6'5", 6'4" and 6'2".  Not only could they eat a ton and not gain weight, when they were pregnant, they had little to no pains with the baby. Mainly because there was so much freaking room in their torso for the kid to develop and hang out. 

Being tall is great.  Being tall and not blocking every from view is polite.

I agree and Kelli didn’t bring in her pastor to make anybody convert. The pastoral care staff at my hospital is there to provide sacraments, pray with, etc to people who request them bit also to counsel and comfort without trying to do any religious conversion. I feel like Kelli was trying to bring in someone to help them with grief, not force or accuse to convert or declare anything. Crass to film t though. 

Ok I do agree VK got in shape and toned it down. Does better with dance but geez I feel like she’s still shoved down our throats so bad.

Also Abigail as model DCC? She was on weight watch, eh ok but not amazing dancer and fraternize after she left for a hot second (totally set up for publicity btw). She was just gorgeous that’s about it.

We’re all entitled to our own opinions. But it would be nice if certain posters didn’t scream Tina Kalina. There have been other extremely polarizing TCC/DCCs in the past but I honestly can’t remember any of them having someone respond to EVERY post that was negative about them..

This a hundred times.  I read things I disagree with but I pick and chose which ones to take issue with or to state why I disagree. I do wonder if TK is here at times.  We know that other DCC have been/are here.  So it only follows.  But everyone has their girl.  I loved Brennan and even in the last issue I saw a blonde do something well and it was Brennan. I just don't feel the need to defend her 24/7.  She takes care of her self nicely.

In the last episode, I was happy to see the girls support Lily and Christina so much.  The absolute joy those girls had (even Gina) was spontaneous and heartfelt.  That is the DCC sisterhood they talk about, but that we don't always see.  Christina is not a favorite of mine but I identify with her struggle of working hard and being worn out when I go to do something after work.  I'm glad she got praise and that her fellow cheerleaders recognized she needed it and earned it.  Same with Lily.  The girls love her and it shows.  You can't fake those hugs and joy!  

Madeline is just beautiful.  Not in a tarted up, fake eyelash way.  But just really stunning. I bet she's the kind of girl who looks amazing with no make up on and in sweats.  She's kind, well spoken and mature.  I hope she comes back and kills it.  I think she needs some power pom classes but other than that, she's become a favorite of mine.

Lose weight or lose your job is a pretty standard rule for professional dancers - Broadway, Ballet, etc. I know it's hard to hear and see on TV when they harsh on a woman's weight, but that's what directors are thinking and saying to each other in dance auditions across the spectrum. The funny thing for me is that I do Bikram yoga and these hot young (not me) Bikram instructors have fierce, zero fat bodies, but often abs are so developed they have a curve to their tummy. When you can count some of the DCC women's ribs, you know they've lost weight for flat stomach, but they have don't have a great core.

This month I saw the DCC perform live at a Cowboys game.  I also saw the national tour of Phantom of the Opera.  There was not a single dancer in PotA who had a body like we see from Daphne or Gina, or any of the others whose ribs show because they are so skinny.  The professional dancers were very slim, but I would venture to guess each of them would be cut in DCC auditions for "not looking their best".  It looks to me the standards are very different between these two groups, at least.

You never know when a person is struggling, so be kind.  That wasn't so much religious as reminding people to be nice.

This is exactly my point. Having this on the field right before the first field practice was totally inappropriate. Do it in private! Grief is NOT a photo opp.

And Kelli, do not give Shaina that “eat 💩“ look as she is thanking you because a) you are pissed Shaina did not break down like you wanted, and b) you’re impatient to get on with rehearsal.

VK made it because she is a Great, trained dancer.  And she is very sweet and a good ambassador to the Cowboys organization.  She has proven herself through hard work and could have easily given up after last season. I admire her perseverance and mental strength.  And she is so young!!! I can’t wait to see her grow up being a DCC—like Lacey!!

I know a few years ago they made the shorts with more coverage, but the look shorter and lower again.    I think they're not as tiny as during the Jenna years, but still a more flattering length, and waist (hip ?) line that the taller shorts were. 

Re: the clip of the girls in red. It was beautiful. The dress grab was distracting but I blame the coach/choreographer. It should have been corrected well before the video was made. 

[MyFavShows]

I watched the episode again today and want to say Chandi looks great doing the entrance.  She’s tiny, but she has those really long nice legs like Jenna did and that looks great with the entrance when done right.   I even think I heard one of the vets compliment her on her legs.

I’m still liking Julia and think she looks great, but I think Keli and Judy were making some negative comments about her field performance.

When Christina was praised for dancing great on the 50 yard line the thing I noticed more about her than good dancing was how skinny she was.   I think she’s lost weight.

[Yetta]

To the person who thinks Maddie should smooth her hair.  I had hair similar to Maddie's.  Not quite as curly, but almost.  It would be a TON of work to blow dry straight and then flat iron and/or curl it.  Plus, the minute she started to sweat at all, the hair would start to kink back up.   Trust me, it's a bad look.   I tried it during the summer, went into a very hot building for work and little pieces of hair around my hairline started to curl, while the rest was straight.   I like the way she looks.  Off topic, but I lost my hair due to chemo and when it came back, it was straighter than a board.  Not a bit of curl in it.

But I think Maddie is great at point!  I also do not see how Meredith and Kat made the team.

Pretty, look good in the uniform, can be hidden in the formations/choreo, speak well in public? (Guesses)

I do think those are some reasons. I remember back in S7 with Emily: one of the things brought up about her was she was "really pretty." She was only on DCC for one season, maybe by choice, maybe by suggestion, but she had trouble the entire TC for not getting DCC style. 

I just know there's some reason they released Madeline, Shaina (and others) from TC but kept Kat, Meredith and Lily whom DCC:MTT are showcasing as weak. (And yes, we know there's a drama element to the hyping of the underdogs too.) I just wish they'd show us as the viewers more of what the reasons and reasoning were for keeping them were.

Striking out on her own? She’s ended up with some kind of job with dcc after “interning” with cmt. I’m glad she has bigger dreams than dcc, but she’s hardly an example of an independent young woman finding her own path.

No one said tall girls need to be quiet or shoved in the back. But when you tour something you don’t get up front when you know people behind you can’t see anything because of you. Especially when you get a private tour of something you’ve already seen so there’s no reason for you to be up front. It’s common courtesy, whether you’re 6’ or 5’5” with a very petite person behind you.

Yes we do have ministers, priests, etc on staff in hospitals but they have had several more years in chaplaincy speciality where focus is not on getting right with Jesus or altar calls.  Not all ministers etc know how to be neutral as there are even non practicing or falling away people or even atheists.

Did you mean "lash" instead of "last?"  Because if they gave her hair extensions, IMO that would be stupid, she has good thick heavy hair & doesn't need them.  In fact, didn't she have extensions last year that were taken out?

Abigail Klein seems to be taking heat for something she had nothing to do with. I didn't see it as Abigail Klein worship as much as I saw it as another opportunity for Victoria having more air time. If Abigail hadn't been Victoria's Big Buddy, or whatever they were called, then she wouldn't have been mentioned. Whoever had been Victoria's Big Buddy would have been featured and given those accolades by Victoria. IMHO.

Love the boards but passed on the usual VK posts. ...  So that being said Friday night I was prepared to be bored by the usual Kat freak out and Meredith crying and Christina excuses (reminded me of training camp) anyway

The last 15 minutes of the show changed my mind

Kat and Meredith had it going on with the routines on the field ... I couldn't believe I was watching the same two from last week's episode ...its like something clicked.  Yes the kick line was a disaster but I think that is fixable

Christina ... have to give her credit ...she stepped up her game I dont remember seeing her that confident and sharp on the field.  Maybe that 8-5 job was messing with her and the 1 hour long travel each way 

Madeline - she is clean but has no pop.  Amy thought she should have completed the dance program and then tried out . She reminded me of Brennan season 12 knew the routine but very boring. Now I know why she was cut. ...Just needs more time .. Both J&K want her to come back.  Did not get a negative vibe from them at all.

Julia - never really noticed her maybe that is the problem and then when you saw her in the dance line on the field she does not match the others she was dancing with .... 

My girl Victoria ....staying under the radar and not looking to have that camera in her face. Anytime she was on camera ... it was not obnoxious ... sorry ... I like her and once she gets a year under her belt she will be better.

To the person who thinks Maddie should smooth her hair.  I had hair similar to Maddie's.  Not quite as curly, but almost.  It would be a TON of work to blow dry straight and then flat iron and/or curl it.  Plus, the minute she started to sweat at all, the hair would start to kink back up.   Trust me, it's a bad look.   I tried it during the summer, went into a very hot building for work and little pieces of hair around my hairline started to curl, while the rest was straight.   I like the way she looks.  Off topic, but I lost my hair due to chemo and when it came back, it was straighter than a board.  Not a bit of curl in it.

But I think Maddie is great at point!  I also do not see how Meredith and Kat made the team. 

Agree with you.  I have the same hair as Maddie and I do have my hairdresser straighten it once in a while. Nita a lot of work and any sweat makes it curl.   Plus it’s nice to see someone with curly hair as point. I get annoyed with everyone saying straight hair is better.  I get a lot of compliments on my curly hair.  Most people wish they had hair like mine.
