[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Victoria has a Youtube channel. She posted a video the other day about wanting a boyfriend. I don't know how she's going to get one - she takes dance classes with all women, was a cheerleader with all women, and is now trying to join the Rockettes - again, all women.

Though she desperately wants to be on Dancing With the Stars to meet a man there. Though she's so high maintenance I don't know who'd have the patience for her.  She also seems to think she's MUCH cuter than she actually is. [/quote]

She needs to move and from and. It live with her mother.

To hear her father and brothers never once went to one of her dance shows or competitions for 15+ years to date was really sad. [/quote]

+1 on her father and brothers. I can certainly see not going to every one - but none?! Ever?

I ended the series feeling really bad for Victoria. I think it finally dawned on me that the reason she can't connect with the other cheerleaders and isn't a group leader is because she actually doesn't want to be there. She thinks she does because it's all her mom ever talked about and she was basically raised to do it. I also got a bitter ender vibe from her - or I guess I recognized it. She can't quit because seeing things through is such an integral part of her personality.

I honestly feel concern for her. She is going to crack. She had that pasted on smile all the time but seems miserable. [/quote]

I don't know. I so feel sorry for her, but I also think she's milking her role as victim and offering half-truths about many issues.

I listened to a podcast interviewing Victoria (the host was insufferable, by the way), and concluded that Victoria is a manipulator. During the podcast, she explained that her brothers were both athletes, who were involved in their own sports during the times when her major dance recitals took place. Her mom took her to dance; her dad handled the boys' sports. That's not that unusual in families where multiple children have time-consuming activities. She also explained that her father and brothers attend Cowboys games, so they have seen her dance there.

If you watched the season of MTT when she was cut, there was just something off with her. She was given the opportunity to work with another cheerleader/coach to help with diet issues, but she didn't want to do that. I don't have a problem with her declining the offer of help, but the way she did it was the problem. She basically ghosted the other woman and then played the victim when she got called out.

Then there's the birthday party situation. That scene in the Netflix doc was a Tennessee Williams tragedy. In the podcast, Victoria makes very vague claims that some sort of work-of-mouth invitations were given at an event that occurred earlier in the day the party was. Again, she wants to portray herself as the victim of DCC mean girls who didn't come to her party when even her account is unclear about whether the others knew about the party. Several cheerleaders have come out to say that they had no idea they had been invited to Victoria's party.

I do feel sorry for Victoria's struggles, which clearly stem from the oversized shadow her mother's DCC experience cast on her life. It was easy to see from the last seasons of MTT that she was dangerously thin, so it's great that she took time away to get healthy. But at some point, she can't be her best self until she's willing to engage in more self-reflection and honesty. Hopefully, that will come. Right now, she's still an emotional black hole in need of an exhausting level of validation, which will continue to make it next to impossible for her to form meaningful connections.

And yes, I have obviously thought about this way too much![/quote]

DP. I appreciate your thoughts and agree. [/quote]
