VOTY and ROTY are picked by teammates. Pro Bowl is also voted on by teammates but I believe K&J have input.
ROTY: my guess is Lily.
VOTY: really not sure about this one; i could see Maddie, or possibly one of the second years like Bridget or Cici.
Pro Bowl: Heather

I don’t quite understand the comment that “Thunderstruck only allows for 36 girls”? Are people suggesting that there’s no way to make a triangle with more than 36 girls or that they are simply choosing not to?
As someone else stated, they had 39 girls one year (2012, i believe), and I don’t remember 3 girls sitting out each pregame. It’s possible that they did, but I don’t remember it. Anyone have video from that year?
it was after that year the girls started getting paid more per game, more period. 36 is Charlotte's current cut off for the number of girls who can be on the field at one time.

This just doesn't make any sense to me as to why they would do that! I mean, they have all-stars that could fill in for those that are injured. They have in the past, so why can't they now?
$$$
Cheaper to have current DCCs perform per game than all star.

Yes, Molly and Maggie, and Jennifer McMahon. Katelyn Johnson tried out in Season 5, but didn't make the final team.
I loved Katelyn Johnson.

Am I missing something? Y'all talking about Julia being your fav and being a great dancer and yada yada yada...how do you know how well she dances??? How do you know she is good at memorizing and reproducing DCC choreo? We have only seen through Ep2 of the current season. We really have no idea how any of the TCC are???
I can't speak for everyone but I've been following Julia since the last time she auditioned . I also follow the Anderson sisters and they've featured her in their MUV choreo which is often pom style.

I think what's hard for me is just the comparison to last year...the Second Years are just tens, all of them (IMO). Pretty girls who can dance and seem to carry next to no drama. Maybe it was next to the legacy/Malena drama last year but I honestly didn't get 'here for the fame' from any of the year 2's either. No over the top extra girls either. My spidey sense is tingling with Kalyssa vibes from a couple of these new girls, I hope I'm wrong.
Julia was one of the few where I was like, she loves to dance, she's pretty and works in media so she won't be a risk, and she knows what being a DCC is all about because she lived with the Anderson sisters fora while (Evan Anderson, former DCC). Oh well.
Chandi is now my top choice.

Same. She was my top pick. With VK making SG, Judy saying eff it and going with two points, and now one of the prettiest/strongest dancers getting cut at zero hour... lmao. Jumped the shark for me.

Agreed. As much as I think Lily does not look DCC, she should've been given the opportunity to improve with ongoing critiques. Unfortunately, they spent most of their time last summer drinking the VK kool aid that some of the TCC were just lost in the shuffle, IMO.
Yeah. Lily's cut seemed more like they had it down to a few and they eenie meanie minie moed it out and it just wasn't in her favor. If they give her critiques this year and she doesn't correct them, that's a different story. but give her a fighting chance this time! and change her hair lol

Honestly, at this point, I don't want to see any of the vets cut. If I had to take a guess at which vet could be cut in TC...Christina is the one who pops into mind immediately. Her story was outdone by Brennan's third time in TC so she's old news and still the weakest link.
I don't like them cutting vets either - my belief is they should not be on the fence with any vets at auditions. It's a yes or no.
But if they were to cut one...honestly, just none of the second years LOL I love all of them.

Me too! So for fun, if they did cut a Vet who do you THINK it is, not who do you WANT it to be?
My vote is: Christina
Same.

Smpl is right, more than one point. I can share now that it's Travis Wall and Kitty splitting center; that's why Kitty has been hiding out, she wanted to really perfect the dance behind closed doors and they've had to work out all the contractual things with Travis. the outfit for him has been the biggest hurdle - the white chaps they originally had planned ended up being a bit risque. Victoria is going to be the middle girl in line behind them, where Rachel W was at Oxnard. Going to be the most dramatic season yet tbh.

I wonder what men really think of hair extensions (not that Kat's are definitely extensions). It just seems weird to me. Do you wear them when you go to bed at night?
if hers aren't extensions i will eat my hat. They almost look like the clip in ones i got super cheap on Amazon for fun lol I think if you get the like hairbychrissy extensions that all the dlist Bachelorette franchise women get it can look real and maybe men don't have a clue it's not...but these. oh well, whatever floats yer boat. they do look cute together and i'm glad she's happy!

Sydney? What did she do?
I actually really like Sydney now and think she's one who matured a lot over the years so I'm not really wanting to rake her across the coals now. I guess to put it as briefly as possible she made some of her own rules and when others tried to let Kelli know, it was "oh, Sydney is harmless." Well, she took Jenna under her wing as her bestie soooo... and then of course the whole movie debacle with the lying and whatnot. but again, I think sydney is a much nicer person now and grown up a lot.

I thought it was hypocritical for Kelli to tell Jenna she should have come to them and then say in another breathe say we dont expect you to tattle but you should have said something .. what the heck ?!?!? But I also think there may have been the issue of Jenna was going to the clubs with her and knowing she was underage ... that is the one that probably caused her to have point taken away ... If you are captain you should not be going to clubs with team mates you know are underage
I agree, the mixed messages were frustrating. I think though like you said they expected her to just not get herself into that kind of mess PERIOD. "I can't tell Holly what to do..." No, but you can like...NOT go with her. Or like, say, "Holly, I love ya but please don't tell me when you're going clubbing or hanging out with players because if I get asked about it, I can't lie. I signed a contract with DCC and I have to honor it."

Glad she’s still having a good summer but I can’t see how she could have been worse than Daphne and yet Daphne still made it. Hopefully she comes back for a 3rd year and makes it again. She’s by far one of their best dancers.
You're not wrong from what we saw of Daphne. But I honestly haven't heard anything about Daphne's entire audition being poor.
I can't imagine Jalyn not reauditioning next year! She does not strike me as a woe is me type, i think i'll just quit but rather someone who will use it to fuel her fire for next time.

I felt bad for Jenna, she really deserved the point and the pro-bowl girl spot, instead of Kashara, maybe, this past season was Kashara's Year, i know Jenna lied about the whole situation, Kelli is so hypocritical bc she doesnt act the same way with everybody, Like in 2010 i think, when Whiney wear some racist costume for Halloween (which i didnt find racist), and she got nothing but point and probowl the next years, and that situation was in national news paper, and Jenna got punished for something that she didnt do, that was sad 😞
My understanding was Jenna's last straw was failing in their eyes as a good mentor and leader to the newer DCCs. that was what that whole thing on camera was before auditions, saying can we trust you as a leader and she was like oh totally and then she was at clubs with Holly when, if nothing else, Holly was underage.
No one is going to universally agree on what Jenna's real responsibility was (so I hope we don't fall down that rabbit hole again with i love jenna vs she was satan) but the issue is that she didn't meet THEIR (K&J's) expectations and that's all that matters in the end. Is there some hypocrisy? absolutely. But that's what bit K&J in the end anyway. They let bad behavior get out of line for too long (i.e Cassie, Sydney).
ALL that said, it is a shame she didn't get to keep point because she was very talented and fun to watch (tho I am Kash's biggest fan so I have zero problem with her at point for 2 years 🙂 ). I would have been shocked, though, if Jenna had got pro bowl even without the Holly drama.

She's fine - having a good summer, just not a good SG audition. No bad blood between her and anyone, K&J like her.

If I had to wear a character costume in this heat, I'd shoot myself. Years ago, I was a dancing Snoopy (go ahead and laugh, I do). Never, ever again. It's seriously hot inside character costumes.
Hmm wonder if this pic is a hint at point! Make Rowdy earn that huge paycheck!!

I thought it was strange too and for me, clearly only due to her beauty queen background. I can see that she has improved as @LaurenBrook said, but for me it’s unfair she went ahead of more senior girls, as well as the 2nd years who were rockstars from the beginning (including Bridget).
Also, since at some point we speculated that Lexie might be a contender, i guess it’s not going to happen considering that she was behind two 2nd years.
Is she in front of Bridget?? I thought she was behind her. I feel like there were so many great spots with this stage! Like as much as I adore her, Sav is not the strongest on the squad and she still had a very visible spot.
I'm personally not putting stock into this as giving any idea of what the final formation will be for Thunderstruck.

HANNAH!! She was so good and always delivers. I love her.
Bridget was adorable and compelling to watch.
Wish I could have seen Caroline but I couldn't find her.
I'm so proud of all the 2nd years ❤️
My 2 cents-- Gina or Caroline for point. I love Maddie but she's hip hop through and through, and KILLS it at that.
Caroline is on the platform going out but closest to the stage on our right!

I suppose they can cover chunky calves with the boots. Most of the technical dancers who've done a lot of pointework and ballet will probably have thicker calves, I stopped dancing around 10 years ago and will never get rid of them! I'm proud of mine, all my strength is in my legs.
Same. And honestly, calves are genetic to an extent. you can't change muscle insertions. even if my calves weren't as muscular, they still insert closer to my ankle than what is aesthetically pleasing, at least in modeling/dance/etc. nothing i can do about that!!

Is that Jalyn in front between Hannah and Cianna? I see Erin on the far right, did she make SG? I’m so confused, it’s too early in the morning ....
I believe so - looks like Madeline Malloy, then Hannah and Jalyn, Cici, Daphne, Alanna and Erin. The one in front of Alanna i'm unsure of...Chandi? she's pretty.
ETA: i guess it can't be Chandi if just vets performed?
All Past Seasons of the Late Lamented Show
in Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team
Emma did not make SG her second year. She did want to be considered for it. She was on it again her third and fourth year. She did not have a good enough audition year two just as Jalyn did not her second year (cannot speak for her third, just that last year was a mess all around with weird/poor decisions so who knows).
