2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers

The white blonde thing Gina is sporting is really in right now. Blame it on Daenerys Targaryen. I asked the guy who does mine and he said people ask for it daily and get mad when they find out it takes multiple trips and lots of money

You know I'm team Gina, but if the color has to stay, then she needs a new cut and style, 'cause her head is looking all dragon burnt at this point.

Possibly but I doubt they will pass up showing that on the show.  Even if they prefer it wasn't discussed ahead of time, it's still my personal take.  Where I can see it possibly being a problem is how so many jumped to conclusions and misstated what she originally posted and hence spread rumors that Gabby was late, when she was not.

I accept I seem to be the only one feeling as I do and that's all good.

No I agree, I think what she shared is as much as girls who were former DCCs have shared in podcasts (Milan/Kelsey Bond) or on youtube (Kelsey Lowrance). It shouldn't have had an impact on her audition at all and there's a good reason to say that it didn't affect her. We'll have to see if she decides to really share if they told her anything or if the show will give us insight.

Just putting it out there, for those of us with curls, we don't wear our hair, our hair wears us, and sometimes we look like "poodles."  When I was in 7th grade some kids followed me down the hall in school barking at me calling me a poodle, so I'm a little sensitive.

That's no lie. Any time someone asks me about my hair I tell them the style is "it does what it wants".

I like Maddie. I liked Maddie her first TCC and was so proud of how she grew from that season to making the team. I think she has the leadership skills that the squad desperately needs.

Agree.  It looks like fried straw needing a serious keratin Olaplex whatchamacallit divine intervention conditioning.

[go4luca]

Here's one cameo that tipped us off how bad they were last year.  Not only does this age Tasha 10+ years, it doesn't even look like her.  I hope they aren't using this photographer again.  These are beautiful women.  They don't deserve this.

[DCC-UK]

Haven’t they been using the same photographer for cameos and squad photos for years? I don’t think the harsh make-up helps sometimes either.

I thought I read somewhere that this past year, they used the son of their usual but I def could be remembering incorrectly.

[CrazyInAlabama]

I believe the cameo and squad photographer is the son of the man that did great photos for years.    However, there is apparently a learning curve in lighting, and poses for cameos, and they simply aren't very good now, in my opinion.    I keep hoping they'll get someone else, because Kelli does consider if a candidate is photogenic or not, and that can be a deal breaker apparently.

I like Miranda and I would pay money to look like her! But when compared to the others who auditioned -she is much less toned and older looking. It's just so interesting the things Kelli and Judy are willing to overlook in some girls - when they cut others. That can be applied to a lot of situations. Not here to pick her apart in any mean way - just more observational. I also love that she has brains!

I thought Miranda looked amazing at tryouts!

I’m just going to say it, I don’t get all the Bridget and Caroline love. Bridget is cute, but her figure is so boxy she looks masculine to me, and Caroline is cute too, but just screams “BASIC” to me. 

I used to be in this camp. But the clip I saw of Bridget's solo was so spunky I now like her again. She's got a lot of  spirit and great musciality  in that little boxy frame.  And Caroline was my least favorite rookie last year -but I am now seeing such gorgeous pictures of her. She is very photogenic - just leaps across the screen and seems likable. Her only problem as I see it now, is that she tucks her chin when she's dancing.

I'm sorry, didn't mean to offend in any way! I think Maddie's curls can be fixed, that's my issue. 

I agree. I have not been a fan of her hair all season and now. I really liked her hair the first year she made it. It softened her. She has such a sweet personality and smile, her hair should match it.

I always thought her hairstyle was out of date ... I think she had mentioned all the women in her family basically had the same style and never cut the length ... last season Kitty called her grandma moses and compared to the rest she does  ... I think she needed an updated do and when Kelly asked to see her hair she started to cry !!

(Honestly, I admire the girls for not running out and buying a new outfit every time they are on camera- good for them!)

I'm starting to think they keep a closet of Belk clothes for the girls to wear that is Kelli approved LOL!!

[scorpio1031]

Look at Heather's stomach in the second pic.  A bad angle, a wrong time to exhale, whatever.  I just find it hard to judge some of these girls from a still photo.

Also, I think when a girl starves for calendar shoot, her body holds on to calories afterwards cause it thinks it will get starved again.  Some may stay on their "calendar" diet to get thru auditions.  As long as everyone looks "uniform ready" and is healthy for TC.  Like Miranda said on a podcast, it's weeks of eating whatever you want and still losing weight cause you are dancing so much.

I empathize with you. I have Molly type hair. I was super sensitive when they called her hair sweaty and stringy.

Count me in to the "hair issues" club! I have always had super, super thick hair. Any time I go to a new salon, they make a huge deal out of it and all of them have to come and feel it and touch it. Layers makes it look even thicker (and I have a slight natural wave/curl) and I can totally relate to Miranda. I can spend forever with a curling iron and hair spray (or I used to before I decided let it do what it wants, I can always put it up in a pony tail) and within an hour it's back exactly the way it was before I wasted time on it. 

Gina is in desperate need of hair help. She needs some serious low lights and I think a cut like Amy's would look much better and healthier for her. Now I am Marshall's Number 1 fan, but maybe he isn't making the best choices for some of these women. Savannah's hair....ugh. I also have red hair (yeah I got it all lol) but her's is mousy and dull. It washes her out, and it emphasizes her horse face. I have never been team Savannah, I don't think she can dance and she is far from pretty, she's average looking at best. Interestingly, the guys I've forced to watch this show with me all say the same thing. I like Maddie's curls, but they are a bit too heavy for her right now, I think she needs some highlights and a good trim. She also appears very untoned to me, but then again, a LOT a the vets did this year.

Loose lips sinks ships...imo, Tiffany's oversharing of the process is what did her in. Without her we wouldn't have known about the late candidate to the interview. 

I had mentioned the "loose lips" possibility earlier on this thread because a former DCC did a podcast and talked about what went on behind the scenes.  I had just wondered how much patience K&J would have for things being talked about that they didn't ok.

Really??  I don't see a change - posters who have always liked her and defended her still do.  Those who don't think too much of her still don't.  I think you might just see more people willing to give her a chance, but I think at the first hint of trouble...….that will be it.

It took me a minute too. Bridget just looks like she is having so much fun and makes it look effortless like my all time fave fan girl crush Crystal Trevino. 

Caroline’s look is basic as vanilla pudding but nothing wrong with her. She can’t help how Baby Jesus made her. Lol.

I have to wonder, out of all the many, many cameos taken of each woman, THIS is the best one? That falls to K&J, not the photographer.

The issue with Miranda’s hair is that most of the thickness isn’t natural if I remember correctly. Her rookie year they removed a bunch of extensions from her hair and it looked significantly better but it’s pretty clear that she eventually went back and got most if not all of them put back in. Thick hair looks gorgeous IMO, but super thick hair extensions usually don’t, particularly if you’re slinging them around.

The issue with this dress isn’t that they share it, the problems are that a: it’s ugly and b: it’s a cut/fabric that doesn’t really lend itself to sharing because it should really be tailored to the body to have any chance of looking decent. Yes they are all clearly the same size, but their curves are not identical. If they want to share clothes they should get something with a little bit more stretch to it so that it will actually fit everybody or get styles that aren’t meant to be more form-fitting.

IMO if she likes her hair long, the only thing she needs to do is get some layers to take some  of the bulk out at the bottom, because she does have very thick hair.

I have super curly hair and layers are NOT my friend!!!  I have a picture when I was little where I legit look like Roseann Roseannadanna.  🤣  At least for me, length (and the right product) helps weigh down the curls so they’re not as tight.  Otherwise, the shorter the hair, the tighter the curl.

I have Kelli's favoritism goggles on when it comes to Bridge. She is the type of performer that makes my unhappy go away. I don't care how she looks. Like Kashara, who wasn't physically perfect but she knew how to get the party started.

I think Tiffany overshared, stomped like a pony in her solo (based on the video with the same lasso move repeated a few times), and wasn't as impressive as her outfit. YMMV

And she's still orange lol but Rachel W without make up for those who are curious (I don't think her account is private...) 

She's the same color as the swap she's floating in. And her teeth are glow in the day.

I'm waiting to see if they dye it a different color after they have all worn it.

Are K&J at the CMT awards?  Maybe they will have Shelly run TC tonight if so.  Too bad they don't put some video on social media so we can get an idea of how girls are doing.  Doesn't have to be a lot - can do little snippets.

Someone mentioned the VK hate is just because we’ve all had experiences with nepotism. I respectfully disagree, I don’t hate her for the nepotism, as that’s not her fault. I dislike her for the 52,747 other things she has done, that she was completely in control over. All the sucking up to vets she does (while totally ignoring the TCCs), the straight up lying, that bullcrap she pulled with Jinelle, ignoring the constructive dance criticism by refusing to do anything but lyrical, forcing herself front and center at all times, her gut overhang, her desperate thirstiness, her manipulative information spreading behind the scenes, her awful AWFUL “Dcc style” dancing, etc. 

Side note: Haley Anderson looks perfectly fine. 

I don’t want to run out of snark before the show airs so I’m saving up my VK comments 🤭😜

I’m really hoping Alexis doesn’t become point. Nothing against her. But in that media day Instagram vid my eyes kept going to Gina. And I’m just a firm believer that the best dancer should be point. I really think know one comes close to her. Best power and technique combo.

I love Miranda! I think she has a beautiful figure, but she is not DCC tone in these pictures. I’m ok with it but the standard has to be the same for everyone. I can’t tell if she has highlights or what, but there are lighter strands of hair on her head that in certain lighting produces almost a graying affect... apparently the term for that is “sallows skin.” I don’t know what it is, but that’s what makes her look older. It just doesn’t look youthful. 

Miranda and VK are both aged by their lipstick choices too. They need to stay away from the rosy reds and find some neutral pinks. The second problem they share is porous hair. Their hair sucks up humidity really well, it actually means it’s healthy, but it also means they need to invest in better products to hold their style, and smoothing agents for at home haircare. I’m betting VK at least buys her products at the drug store, based on the mascara tears from last year. That’s not gonna cut it. Some girls are blessed with easy hair and the rest of us gotta invest to look our best.

I guess it depends on your hair's texture.  I get a "carve and slice" cut, so not really "layers" per se but "layers" LOL.  That does wonders to take out my"bottom of hair" bulk (like poor ol' Roseanne has), which is what I think Maddie could use, because to me it looks like it's a little bottom-heavy and triangulat.

Porous hair typically means it's damaged, which theirs probably is from heat/chemicals.

I guess it's official, I like the red dress with the pink bow.  Maybe it can be its own character on the show 🙂
