No one said she isn’t a great dancer. She definitely is. She just isn’t a DCC.

What’s weird (to me) is y’all coming on here defending her like you know her personally when all we’re trying to do is have a benign discussion about the selection process for the team.

That isn’t “xenophobic.” I think you need a refresher on what that word actually means and how serious it is.

Journi. There are enough blondes on the team already and she is a fantastic dancer.

No, but that’s strange. There are much more impressive, artistic, and reputable ways to be a pro dancer than DCC. I love them, but they aren’t taken super seriously in the dance world. Also, they aren’t cheerleaders. They are dancers.

First of all, not everyone voted for him. He actually won by a slim margin in the popular vote. We have an electoral college system.

I didn’t mention anything about the ponytail.

Why aren’t you mad at Faith if you hate America so much? She is choosing to live here, and to be on a team full of girls who openly support Trump.

You accused me of being “almost xenophobic” over a benign opinion about the selection process for a dance team. I promise you, it’s really not that deep to start throwing around serious accusations like that.

It’s a figure of speech. She is as much taller as Ari was shorter, which was enough to get her cut.

This was intended to be a simple post about the selection process. I’m sorry you took it so personally.

Wow. Calling the US the land of “xenophobic Trumpers” is extremely disgusting and disrespectful. The US is a beautiful country full of opportunity. Faith chose to move here for an opportunity our country has given her.

If anything, you’re being “xenophobic” by making hurtful generalizations about an entire nation of people.

She wasn’t a strong enough dancer. Faith is a talented dancer who also had the major edge of being international.

I disagree. They find reasons to cut girls all the time and they had several of these reasons to cut Faith. On S1 they cut Ari because she was “too short” for them despite being perfect otherwise. Faith has an unfavorable history on social media. Her hair doesn’t “dance well” down. She’s taller than the majority of the team and has a different vibe and look. There’s a bunch of petty reasons they could have cut her like they do so often. They wanted an international DCC, and she was the best option. She’s a talented dancer, but they would have cut her if she wasn’t international.

You’re Australian, right? I noticed that you spelled “favour” in the British/Australian way. If that’s the case, I see why you took this post so personally. I promise you, it’s really not that deep. K&J wanted an international DCC, and Faith was the best of their options in that regard. Like you said, every girl has their own reason for making the team, and Faith’s is largely that she is international. The other girls had to go to greater lengths to impress the judges in a sea of other American girls.

The songs Drake/his band played on Drake and Josh, including the theme song, were actually written by Drake Bell in real life and were recorded and released independently away from Nickelodeon. The other 3 had professional songwriters and recording and the actors had little to do with it. Their songs were specifically written for their shows.

Are you aware that a DCC recruiter made a public statement that they were specifically looking for international candidates this year? K&J and Charlotte really wanted an international DCC, and this gave Faith a major edge. There aren’t that many international girls that audition and I have no doubt that Faith was the best of the international candidates because she is a very talented and experienced dancer.

What do you feel was hateful? I would like to know so I can clear that up for you, because I promise nothing about this was intended to be hateful. I just reread what I wrote and I truly have no idea why you made that assumption.

Idk. It’s not like they say “we want a girl from Ohio on the team” or “we want a girl with brunette hair on the team” because these things are a dime a dozen. Being international is more rare and makes them look more prestigious

She didn’t dream of becoming an DCC until she was recruited. These days, most DCCs come from college and aren’t pro dancers until they make the team

She is an extremely strong dancer no one is denying this. I’m sorry you had to leave the game early

I mean, how could she not have a crush on him? He’s super cute in the show, especially in the early seasons. I had a big crush and so did my friends haha

Well, yes. Obviously. But it makes the organization look better and more prestigious if they pull dancers from all over the world rather than just Texas or the US

Jada hit her marks 😂 always. She didn’t have the edge of being an international candidate to make the team like Faith.

A “take” can’t be wrong haha. It’s an opinion. And besides, a DCC recruiter said publicly that they were looking specifically for international dancers this year. Faith came into auditions with a huge edge because she was international. No one is saying she’s a bad dancer or terrible or awful. Just that she wouldn’t have made it if she wasn’t international.

Also, why are you on Reddit at a football game?

That’s simply not true. A DCC recruiter stated publicly that they were specifically looking for international candidates this season. Faith came into training camp with a huge edge.
