As far as we know, she was cut. Hmmm, maybe they know something we don't know? The squad photo is tomorrow (Aug. 5th), correct?

While I was never a DCC, I'm in the busty gal club and I can tell you that I had to use double-sided tape to keep from spilling out of costumes in the past.

Most libraries will allow you to request the book via the Interlibrary Loan system.

I will say that Charlotte showed a very kind moment with Miranda Parker when it was her last time auditioning. She never made TC and tried out so many times, always getting to the finals but never chosen. Charlotte gave her a big hug and spent some time talking with her. I know she comes across as an ice queen, but when you're a woman in the business world (even if it's Daddy's business), you have to have a tougher exterior than the men to be taken seriously. I agree with the above poster that if she was a man, she'd be running the organization.

Chin length bob: the only one I can think of is Megan Sharp? She had a chin length bob, but I don't get the "party girl" vibe from her.

Yep! Those Peavy tights were the only ones I could wear with those tiny orange short-shorts at (back in 1990). I remember the day we got fitted for them "do you want size small, extra small or extra-extra small?" Ummm, I guess I'll take small (worried that my size medium was going to muffin-top over the edge of those shorts). You still had to cut the waistband on them so you could bend over without the elastic band showing.

I just watched a re-run of that episode and it was interesting that Kitty remarked that Shelbi is so competitive that if she doesn't make the team, she's going to implode. Well, we saw what happened when she didn't get selected at finals this year!

Ha! I've had dreams like that, too. I keep dreaming I'm at try-outs and I'm thinking to myself "why am I here? I'm 47 years old!" but then I make it in to camp and I stress about learning routines. I put on the uniform and look fab and then my "real" body appears and I'm horrified and then I wake up. Kelli & Judy are always super nice in my dreams. Such a bizarre dream, eh?

Anyone know when they'll take the squad photo?

I did not intentionally "like" this post. I was scrolling on my phone and it registered as a "like", just wanted to clarify. I think people read in between the lines what they want to. I feel Amy's post was very gracious, considering she was cut mere minutes before the team was announced. To each his own....

I'm so sad for Amy. I've been pulling for her since her first tryout. I can't imagine how heartbreaking it is to get cut the very night the squad is announced. If I watch this season and she dances better than Morgan did, I'm going to be a bit upset. Amy has worked so hard and improved herself so much. She can hold her head high that she gave it her best. I'm so thrilled for Kelsey & Maddie!!!!! I wish the show really was starting on the 6th!

I'm not sure. I thought there were only 20. I could be wrong.

Well, I can only count 16 heads in the crowd of rookies in DJEJ's pic. I'm thinking if there's a squad of 37, there are either some obscured or not in the photo. I wish we'd get a definitive answer!

What would the number of rookies be for a squad of 37? I'm counting 16 rookies in the pic DJ EJ posted. Thoughts?

It's too hard to tell from the pic. There could be people in the front obscured by the others. Not sure. The suspense of knowing for sure is killing me!

Oh YAY!!!!!! She was my #1 RC I was rooting for. I'm just thrilled for her. I wish I could tell who is who from that pic, but it's too hard to guess by the back of their heads! Also hoping Amy & Madeline made it. We know Mads is a lock due to Show Group.

Yay! I'm glad they announced the team. Sorry to hear 2 were cut. Hoping my favs made it.

I have a friend who was one of the Honey Bears (yes, that's what they were called) back in 85-86 season. Her daughter wants to audition for DCC when she turns 18 next year. Back OT: hoping some news will start filtering in soon! We're visiting Montana this week and I spent a long day at Yellowstone. I'm exhausted, but I'm dying with anticipation to hear who made the team!

I'm hoping we get some good news soon! If they're making cuts tonight, will probably be a late night.

I was just going to say the same thing! I'm not reading in to anything until we know 100% for sure what's going on :)

I would hope they don't cut any of the girls I'm rooting for. At this point, to get THIS far and get cut right at the end is heartbreaking. I know they've said the budget is only for 36. I'm still holding on to hope that they pull off a huge shocker and keep 39. That would be a much better outcome than a bloodbath & tears!

Vet Chelsey was let go for being "toxic" in the locker room. Vet Hannah was cut due to repeated weight warnings.

Mmmmm, English tea! I love it beyond belief. When I was younger, I dated a guy from the UK and I think I stayed in the relationship longer than I needed to simply for the tea...LOL. Just kidding. My friends in the States think I'm strange for putting cream or milk in my tea, but man, oh, man...once you've had it that way, you don't want it any other way. I think I'm going to go make a cuppa....

I used to live in Chicago and Garrett's definitely has the best caramel corn. I'm not a fan of the cheddar/caramel mix, but that's just my own personal taste. I've never liked cheddar flavor on popcorn, not my cup of tea. Their caramel corn is dangerously delicious, though. I worked downtown for 17 years and had to pass Garrett's in Union Station to get to my train. The smell of that caramel corn being made was sooooo yummy! It was very tempting to buy a bag to eat on the way home! Remember the old Bugs Bunny cartoons where they'd float in the air following a delicious smell? That was definitely Garrett's for us commuters...LOL :)

I definitely think there must be something they really like about her for them to give her so much time to get the visa squared away. If they weren't sure about her, I think they might have already cut her. From everything I've heard about her, she is very well liked and a lovely dancer, so I guess we'll have to see. I've just never seen them let any other TCC miss this much camp before!
