Kelli's attitude towards legacy girls is suspect.
I've just watched the series 2 episode where Dayton was cut, and I have feelings about it. From watching up to mid-season 2 so far, my gut feel is Kelli is good at her job because she is an excellent at getting her way, through traits like backroom manoeuvring, constantly picking at girls in a subjective manner during training, so that a narrative builds within the girls and wider DCC community of who is 'in' and who is 'out'. Having the group leaders also decide on the final 36 before cutting Dayton felt highly performative to my mind, and of course they did exactly what she wanted because they have been conditioned to do so. They were scared out of their wits! How is that not a red flag?
I want so bad to believe that Kelli and Judy find the process as difficult as they appear to but, I I've so far felt that the methods to select girls is opaque, biased and difficult to follow, so I'm looking on this with some suspicion.
