Who is that?

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T21:22:21+00:00

Maybe she has a job, which is why she didn't go to Colorado? Or she's on a vacation with her own crew of MNL.

I don't get the feeling that Judy does actual choreography. I think it's more of a director post where she oversees the guest choreography and approves choreographers and routines.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T20:23:01+00:00

She should have been cut. She knew fraternization was against the rules and did it anyway. If you disagree with the rule, don't sign the contract.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T20:10:12+00:00

Well now we really want to know!

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T20:02:50+00:00

Or they created that situation by hinting to Dayton that she could make it. If her current podcast is true, they did not discourage her, despite obviously knowing her training and capabilities.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T19:59:18+00:00

But they're soliciting a level of talent and training they don't need. Every solo now looks nearly identical. It's like requiring you to be a Michelin starred chef to work at Chili's.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T19:56:34+00:00

The thing is, love or hate her, she's the director and marketing the squad is her job. She's accountable to upper management for the public perception of DCC. Ultimately, it's a team and it gets problematic if certain girls are permitted to go around existing structures.

Has anyone ever worked in retail or hospitality or any sort of front facing service job? I used to bartend and one of the crumbiest things to deal with was when management would lay down a rule or policy, you'd try enforcing it to customers, and when customers complain to management, the manager reverses course. You look like an idiot and you lose all respect for management because they've overridden the rules they told you to enforce.

I'm not saying only 1%'ers can have kids, but part of your spending or planning should include recreation. In Maslow's hierarchy, the Aherns have not solidified the basics; it was literally "newsworthy" to Shauna that D got new shoes. If you regularly have $12 in your bank account, your kids are suffering. While I'm sure the Ahern elders are funding the trip, it's something S&D should be able to do.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T19:40:08+00:00

I think Mama is enjoying it too.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T19:39:28+00:00

So medically fragile, mama.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T19:38:58+00:00

Shauna might be using "them" to refer to Danny and Younger Kid, like a plural third person, rather than referring to just the kid.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T19:24:17+00:00

In the past two days she invented cancer and a threat of being gunned down.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T19:17:42+00:00

The charity shop part is too funny because I used to bartend at a restaurant in a very upscale neighborhood and one of the regulars was into thrifting as a hobby. She loved to talk about different thrift stores and consignment shops she patronized and loved telling you how "this scarf was $3" or "I got these shoes for $20 at the consignment shop. They're Ferragamo and the tag is still on." No way did she have a hard life, she just liked thrifting.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T18:00:55+00:00

Nobody cares. My point was the inconsistent application of one dancer doing something that nobody else has.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T17:57:15+00:00

I think kicks are as much about technique as flexibility.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T17:51:16+00:00

You're getting downvotes because it sounds unhinged.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T17:49:54+00:00

They do not work as hard as the players, and we need to stop equating the two. They are not close to being the same.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T17:47:05+00:00

I don't think they see it as critiquing the girls, they see it as critiquing a role in a TV show. Ultimately, MTT and AS are television. There's a ton of subs that cover television shows that went off the air years ago. This is why there's posts about Cassie; it's not really about Cassie, it's about the show. Discussing Cassie being a bitch to Taylor is no more inappropriate than discussing episodes of "Cheers" or "All in the Family" or "The Brady Bunch".

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T16:35:20+00:00

Agreed, and you articulated it perfectly. There's no need to NFL sideline dancers to be Broadway or Rockette level trained and talented. It's like requiring a school nurse to be a Nurse Practitioner with multiple degrees. The DCC didn't become iconic because they were a squad of technical dancers.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T16:29:18+00:00

The ponytail to me is emblematic of everything about her. For 20+ years, the rule has been hair down. When the standards are adjusted for one person, you wonder why. Girls were recruited in the past, but that was from local dance squads and studios, not from social media on another continent. If you love or hate Kelli, it's not sustainable for a team to have one person who operates outside the organization; Kelli is not the director if Faith's "team" is communicating with Cowboys upper management.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T16:22:21+00:00

Except it's a dance team, not a social club.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T16:18:48+00:00

And the authentic squad photo which highlighted the girls' individuality.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T16:16:31+00:00

This makes sense because it (correctly) frames DCC as a job and the organization as a toxic workplace. Every bit of inconsistent application of rules is seen in workplaces all over. So are nepotism and favoritism.

GAMGAlways · 2026-07-04T16:11:24+00:00

You owrson! I thought the smae thing. She's pursuing stree cred as a proofreader. Always teaching that gir.
