Actually it WAS confirmed (to a degree) on the show by Kelli herself, at least the lying part was if not what it was about (the medical condition vs. the nutrition).  In her talking head before that meeting, she said "something happened prior to rehearsal between Jinelle and Victoria.  Jinelle volunteered her time to help Victoria with nutrition and I'm not accusing anybody of dishonesty but there is something not adding up and I want to explore that."  Jinelle doesn't strike me as someone who would have lied to Kelli about anything, ever, during her time on the squad.  We didn't know anything about Victoria at the time but what was on the show.  That statement by Kelli herself says that someone lied about something and the way it was stated seemed to me that Kelli knew it wasn't Jinelle but didn't want to admit that Victoria had lied.  Then Victoria seemed to lie to Kelli's face in that same scene.

That totally could be that she lied about that she’d go to an appointment - the her lying about having a medical condition that led to her weight gain was never confirmed.   And regardless, the reasons why she gained so much weight last year really doesn’t matter - they cut her for it, and now she’s back and looks great.    If you really expect them to pass on a great candidate cause an 18 year old was embarrassed about some weight gain and avoided going to a doctor/nutritionist appointment over it, I think that just wishful/vindicative thinking.

VK is beautiful, young (can give a lot of years to the organization) and a great dancer.   She needed to come back better and thinner to get another chance and she did - sorry to those who want her blacklisted for some stupidnon-consequential stuff    If they’ll take a girl who didn’t know how many yards there were on a football field on national TV, I think they’ll deal w/ someone avoiding a doctor appt, especially when she clearly fixed the issue they wanted her to go to a doctor about.

Great post ... I admit it I am a VK fan. She was immature and got what she deserved last year getting cut and basically not taking the training camp serious and on some level thought she would skate through.  This is what a year does for most. Realized she actually had to work to get on the team was not going to be handed to her as some still think.  If they overlooked Jenna in cahoots with an defiant underage DCC partying at the bars and socializing with football players .. someone obviously embarrassed about the weight gain is minuscule ...as for show group ... she is tall and can dance but to say she took Jayln's spot is an over reach ...there were others that made the team over Jayln ... saying specifically her spot was taken away for VK is just justification for not liking the poor girl ..

VK made it back because Kelli likes her. After watching more than my fair share of Pluto re-runs, the girls who return to training camp for a second time are the girls that Kelli likes - plain and simple. I don't think its a bad thing to admit that Victoria does get special attention. She does benefit from favoritism.  Just like many other girls in Kelli's favor.  Now, that doesn't take away from her accomplishments in dance or her qualifications to make the team. Of course she's qualified.  But there is absolutely no way to tell if she would have made it back without the approval of Kelli -- simply because it is indeed Kelli who makes all the decisions. There are no rules here as we've seen over the years. Kelli either likes you or she doesn't. She will either let things slide or she won't.

People were reacting to the screenshot that showed Jalyn on the list for show group. Her name was crossed out and Victoria was written in next to it.

Agree with your post ..... I guess my position is how is it her fault ... should she have declined when they didnt call Jayln's name  ... I feel bad for her ... but I dont think it should be taken our on another girl that got in. I get how that looks but again we dont know what that was about ... did she have an original list of who she expect to be on ... and when they started to decide and it seems no one really picked Jayln again this is CMT editing we have to deal with 🙄

Seriously, you think K&J would let any other rookie candidate back into TC after gaining 13 pounds, refusing help and lying about it?  Your examples are all of women who earned some leniency through years of service.  Look, I am happy with 2019 VK, but come on, the nepotism is clear.

Any other TCC would have been cut with a 5 pound gain, and especially a 13 pound gain.

Victoria was cut - she did not make last years squad.
It’s a pretty common occurrence for the TCC to get cut for certain issue, spend a year working on those issues, and then to come back the following year with those issues fixed and make the squad.   This has happened with Maddie, Erin, Madeline just on the current squad and many others in the past.  
I’m not sure why the big shock and outrage over it happening w/ VK when she is so clearly improved.

Pretty much my thoughts. I’m not bothered by VK being on the team this year. I think she is clearly top 36, so I think she earned her spot. However, she was held to a different standard than other rookie candidates last year (her extremely obvious weight gain was alone enough to get anyone else cut, so the lying episode with Jinelle would never even happened with anyone else bc they would’ve already been gone). It just is what it is. If Whitney and Jenna - two multi-year vets who could dance circles around VK when their issues came up - are the only examples of similar treatment, then that speaks for itself.

Victoria was cut - she did not make last years squad.

Most would have been cut at 5 pounds though, but again, I think it depends on if Kelli likes you.  Brooke Sorenson in her rookie TC wasn't cut...I don't know how many pounds we're talking, but she was working with Jay & Kelli said in an office visit that she was gaining, not losing.  Selina wasn't cut in her 2nd TC despite Kelli saying her weight fluctuated 10 pounds during her rookie year. Stephanie H wasn't DCC fit, but she made it through her rookie TC.  Yeah, Victoria got breaks many didn't (hello Gabby!) but it isn't without precedent.  And, as @MyFavShows shows said, she actually was cut.

Pluto watchers - I don't watch regularly. Are all the seasons on a loop (in order)? I feel like I watched the tail end of 3? Then they showed 4 - and then back to 3 (over the weekend).  Thank you.  I have to admit watching solos with dancers and their many props was funny - especially since Kat got a laugh for her cane this season.  TIA

We agree !!!  Never understood the Brooke love ... she was good not exceptional like others ... Kelli and Judy just seemed so ga ga over her ... how else do explain Brooke basically sitting out her second year recovering from surgery. I know it is a sore subject but at least Cassie was 6 years in and hurt 🙄

There's been evidence over the years that Kelli has made sure her favorites got on the team, no matter how bad they are (except in rare cases when they're HORRIBLE, then they usually make it the next time they audition).  However, her favorites are often one-year girls and get cut when they re-audition the next year (Morgan, Breelan, gymnast Kat, etc.).  I don't know if it's because the girls are oblivious to how bad they are despite the multiple office visits (in most cases), if they know but think that they proved themselves over the previous year so think they have a shot or if it's something else entirely.  I suspect there will be QUITE a few girls this year who will not make it to their second year for one reason or another.

If that is the case, who would your choices for one-and-done girls be?

I have so many I want to be 1 and done now! Lisa, Taylor P, Meredith, Amanda, and even though it’ll never happen Victoria.

For 2 years (or 3 depending on how they do year 2), I’d like Lily, Kristin, and Kat

4 years: Chandi

5 years: Kelcey!

But I’m still really hoping Shaina, Bret, Madeline, and Julia come back. I loved all of them 😩

Since I knew of Julia's media training SNAFU I decided to watch Amanda's reaction when Julia said the main reason for being a DCC is to build her resume.  I expected shock..instead, she was bobbing that head up & down like a bobblehead doll in agreement LOL!  I think she'll be a one-year girl, that is unless DCC isn't the stepping stone I think she's expecting.

Legit getting Sandy from the end of “Grease” vibes from that outfit, except Julia wore the back of her corset open to the front 😂 

At first I was thinking Halloween parties started earlier than usual this year, but now I’m just hoping it’s a cuter outfit than appears. Dang it I’m old! I will say I almost always hate anything that laces up in front, including Kelli’s Michael Kors dress and the lace up micro shorts they wear in the hip hop routine.

Exactly! I was watching Amanda more than Julia and she seemed to be in total agreement. I do still like Amanda and definitely think she earned her spot this year, but this is clearly a quick stop for her to get famous. So 1 year is enough for me!

Julia living the good life without drinking the blue kool aid.  If she would have made DCC she would not be wearing that lace bodysuit and leather pants.  She would have to stand at attention to Kelli and dress, talk and walk how Kelli tells her to.  Seems like a better life to live when you can be yourself and not Kelli's puppet.  Looks like she got new extensions, she was probably able to have the ones put in that she knows are the best for her hair.

I hope for the exact same people to return.. I just don't know if they will. I see Madeline returning and maybe Julia since she was so well loved. But I think Shaina is bitter. She died her hair back to blonde as soon as she left. I feel like it's a FU to Kelli. And rightly so. I'd be too. Kelli can be downright cold and heartless when she doesn't like someone.

One of Kelli's best attributes is her eyes and unfortunately, they give her away even when her mouth is trying to convey something different. I firmly believe Shaina got cut because she didn't give Kelli the show worthy segment with the pastor visit that she wanted. I didn't see Shaina marking it and even if she was, maybe an office visit to check on her mental health would be in order. 

When Shaina started talking to Kelli I noticed Kelli's arms were crossed in front of her showing just how closed off she was to Shaina talking to her.

Also can't remember if we ever established if any other DCC were going to be Miranda's bridesmaid other than Caroline. Looks like Gina is another!

It is not Halloween yet!   lol   Someone posted a pix of Julia  wearing those black leather pants last week at a bar and dancing on the table.  Maybe Kelli and Charlotte  saw this side of her and it had something to do with their decision plus the bad media day.  Seriously this is typical of how 25 year olds girls dress in Dallas.  Well maybe the the laced up front and no bra was a little much even for Dallas.  Like @Holly85 said she is living her best life so I hope she continues to instead of letting Kelli run her life.

Agreed. I wouldn't wear that outfit at all, regardless of wanting to be a newscaster, but ESPECIALLY if.  It just screams 'look at me, look at me' and not in a good way.  Dressing/looking sexy doesn't have to mean putting everything on show for all to see whether they want to or not.  The more skin you show, the less sexy you can look, imo

Ummm...Whitney dressing in blackface, Jenna’s partying and fraternizing.  VK didn’t go to a freakin’ doctor appointment - it’s not a big deal at all - people have caused a organization great shame and weren’t even kicked off the squad.  I don’t think they even wanted to cut Holly, but she quit.  There was also 50 yard line Kelsey who embarrassed herself in TC and eventually made the squad.

I’m going to say this in the nicest way possible and this is not an attack. 

Most of the examples you cite are girls that were already on the squad, not TCCs so a different situation entirely. And Kelsey didn’t lie to K&J, throw people under the bus, bomb media training (no words) or gain 14 lbs. So I’m going to respectfully disagree with you on this. 

It’s the fact that Victoria was even given the opportunity to return to TC this year after all that which rankles so many people. It’s great to promote the “new and improved” storyline over and over but I fully believe that no other dancer but Tina’s daughter would be allowed back into TC because of her mother’s relationship with Kelli.

Using Whitney, though, she not only got into her rookie TC but also made the squad, even though during the interview portion Kelli asked her to explain that picture of her wearing only caution tape.  My opinion in a nutshell: Is Victoria given special treatment?  Yes.  Is she the only one? No.  It comes down to one thing, whether Kelli & Charlotte favor you.
