Rachel is too orange haha that's my only gripe with her look. kelli and judy pick their 'looks' (hair, etc)...why do they insist on her being that color? we know they yell at girls for over tanning so they must be OK with it?? i don't get it.
Wow, that comparison pic of daphne is alarming. i'm not going to arm chair diagnose but i hope she is OK.

I didn't think Daphne looked too thin until i saw that pic above that they already removed. that is a bit worrying. I wonder if she thinks point is a possibility and is competing with Gina to be the skinniest blonde. Makes me sad.
No secret that I love Rookie Rachel and I knew she'd kill it on the shoot! I don't really think she'd get a cover as a rookie but you never know.
Amy is always a breath of fresh air to me. Pretty but not overly sexed up.
I would love to see Molly or Heather get a cover - they are both the most impressive to me thus far.

Who was the DCC who got cut after panel interview for saying "I make the uniform" (as opposed to the uniform makes the girl)?

My 2 cents regarding Savannah. I know nothing about dance technique. To an untrained eye, she looks like she holds her own. She does not flail about like a wild pony such as VK. Even my untrained eye can see that she is a mess. Her rookie season in TC she annoyed me. I could not figure out the fascination with her. However, after listening/watching her on the podcasts and following her on IG, I think she is beautiful, well spoken and seems like a truly nice person. Yes, I agree, her teeth are big but as they say, everyone has something different to bring to the team. Savannah maybe not the best dancer but she is poised, well spoken, seems to be very well liked by her team mates (very important) and beautiful. I hope to see her on the team for at least a couple more years.
I love Savannah 🙂 I personally think this will probably be her last year tho, just because she cheered for a while in NY too and may be ready to move on.

I’m sorry, but do you honestly think that her only issue is her behavior? For one, lying and treating her boss and Jinelle the way she did would be enough to ban her fron any other team. And I don’t see how a good mentor could help her improve her technique, stop dancing heavy and spastic, stay on her space etc. She has been preparing for three years; this is as good as it gets.
i think she has a lot of issues that largely stem from immaturity and being coddled. And I'm not talking about being a DCC mentor. wishful thinking though i'm sure since i know at least Jennifer tried to talk to her about 'locker room behavior' and listening instead of always speaking up, etc. And hey, maybe she needs to get kicked off a team for behavior to have it click.
Who was her boot buddy?

Why would you want to punish another squad like that 😉
haha i guess i don't think Vic is THAT bad. she's just immature - like others have said, she has had glitter blown up her tush her whole life and always been a sOloIsT. I think she'd benefit from being on a squad with a leader who gave tough love and where she had a year of following rules and working with a group. is it weird that i wish i could mentor her LOL i don't know why i have a soft spot for her guys!!!

VK really is "A beautiful storm" or whatever they said. I'm glad she's having fun. She does have some appeal and draws attention.
But compared to the ladies who demonstrated controlled finesse - VK is a wild, wild horse.
Everything is just too big. Her stance is way too wide.
i wish victoria would do a year or two on another squad, get some experience and maturity before trying out for DCC again.

Any word if the TCC who was a sign language translator (Kristin?) is trying out again? I really liked her.
Last I heard all of the TCCs cut during camp were going to re-audition, though things can change, of course.
As of now Tara is not re-auditioning. I doubt we will see her try out for any teams though I wish she'd do the hip hop team. she has been more interested in finding her identity outside of pro cheer and it seems like she's doing amazing.

Yes, always wondered if Ashton had stayed on the team that year whether Alyssa would have been brought back in spite of her weight gain and bad interview.
Maybe, but I don't think so. Alyssa is by no means a bad person but she was not an impressive DCC in any way but looks. Ashton was WAY more upset about Alyssa getting cut than Alyssa was lol Alyssa was pretty much over it.

You mean Kelli and Charlotte making the final decision. Judy has less of a say so in who does and does not make it to TC or on the squad.
i'm not talking about final say so. i'm talking about who they like and treat well. girls have still been on the squad but in the doghouse/fallen from grace. this past year was proof of that.

LAUREN B!! Seeing you made my day! I was so worried you were gone for good. You’ve always been such a bright spot in here.😊
So I have to ask this. Has Season 14 been agreed on with CMT? Have you heard anything at all???
aw you're sweet 🙂 I am tentatively back-ish anyway.
As far as I know, there will be another season but I guess something could change. I follow Natalie (from early seasons) on IG, the one who works for CMT and the show, and she had something quite recently showing her and one of the cameramen filming, saying something about being back behind the camera, auditions right around the corner. Not sure what the point of filming that would be if they weren't going to have more episodes. I suppose it could be an old picture.
I can't imagine Kelli would want to miss the opportunity for the drama of VK re-auditioning and so many vets coming back and the painful cuts that could lead to. i'm not so worried for rookies as I am the girls going into their third year. There is an undeniable tendency for K&J to love a girl one year and not the next. Anything is possible, really.

Not surprised at all (ish). I think we all could tell Kelli was retiring. I am kind of surprised about Khalyn though.
Was Heather O the ROTY for her rookie season? If not, who was? For the life of me I can't remember.
Yes, heather was also ROTY.

ROTY I think will be a dark horse. My guess is Caroline. She is another Heather O in my opinion.
VOTY is harder. I could see it being Lacey, or even Kashara pulling a Holly Hubbard and getting VOTY and ROTY. But Robin won it her final year without ever being a pro bowl girl or point or anything so someone like Tasha or Khalyn I could also see.

Now you know why Southern Californians get so excited when it rains. I also love rain so get a bit giddy whenever we get some. We used to get more but that was 20 years ago. ?
i wish i could send you some of ours! where i live is actually one of the rainiest in the US (after Seattle lol). Everything sure is green.

Thank you everyone. I am safe. My neighborhood is not affected other than the hazy sky and smoke. Several of my friends have been evacuated but thankfully no one has lost their home yet. It's now up to over 91,000 acres burned and the Malibu water supply is threatened. We have annual winds called the Santa Anas and the concern is they are due to kick up sometime today which will definitely impinge the already exhausted firefighters battling the flames. Praying the winds can remain at bay to give the firefighters a chance. This is one heinous wildfire.
my husband and i hiked Mt Diablo in August near Oakland and we were shocked by how dry everything was... sometimes i think it'd be nice to know it's going to be hot and dry every day so you could plan stuff but I'd rather have rain and less chance of these fires :(

Under normal circumstances, Malibu is about a 30 minute drive from me. The smoke has reached my 'hood and it smells awful outside. Two decades ago, I was caught in the Malibu fires while working on a film set in a canyon with no outlet. It was terrifying. This fire appears to be even worse. Over 70,000 acres burned. Paramount Ranch, where the series Westworld was filmed, was one of the casualties.
My heart goes out to all the confused and scared animals who will perish. I'm very grateful to all the firefighters working so tirelessly to help save homes and do what they can to contain these wildfires.
The first photo was taken by a friend of a friend in Malibu yesterday. The second photo is of some llamas who for now, are safe from the Woolsey fire after being relocated to the beach.
Oh this makes me just want to cry...i know many people don't want prayers anymore but i am praying anyway. i'm so sorry this is happening, please be safe. <3

Meagan picked RW because she can say she had the runner up Miss America as one of her back-up dancers.
that just doesn't seem like something Megan Trainor would care give a crap about. I feel like she's the type who would hate beauty pageants but i dunno, maybe her management made final call.

There are so many great dancers/performers on the squad this year! I have no idea how they'll pick just four. I feel like Kashara is a given and it seems like Gina always gets noticed too. Honestly, there are rookies I could see her picking, like Bridget and Ashlee.

No. She. Wasn't. SMH have these girls learned NOTHING?
KaShara was put through the ringer and singled out when her whole damn group wore sombreros for Cinco de Mayo, but no comments about Maddie being Little Red Riding "Hood" and what's going on with her hair?
Y'all know I'm not a Maddie fan as a DCC, but thought she was a decent person until this. What is wrong with these girls?
I hate to have her slammed if I misunderstood - she had it in one of her IG story captions so I can't go back to verify. I'll try to find out for sure, I don't want to falsely accuse her if I didn't read it right. I don't think she was in a group costume with Christina tho, Christina and Slade were a couples thing IIRC.
13 minutes ago, ByTor said:LOL I guess I was wrong. Was I right that Christina is Garth? Did she have a Wayne?
Yes, I believe that is right! Slade was Wayne. I should have taken screenshots from all their IG stories lol

I mean, I'm not sure what else to say. I think Kelli did her a great disservice by keeping her as long as she did and it created a false hope. She quit her job, put her life on hold and for what? The thing 99% of us agreed on by episode 3.
The fact that Kelli announced, "I can't make excuses for her anymore," is what killed me. If you're making excuses for anyone, cut them and tell them to come back. Don't drag this out.
I do think Malena likely had an epic meltdown especially when we saw Judy covering her face and then a split second later it's edited to where she looks completely normal.
it was intense, in its entirety (which was not shown). i think it will go down in their dcc folklore.

+1 I think I have to say same. Sav is close behind Lauren for me.
My rookie edition is JALYN (rockstar, WOW), Rachel W and Briana. I do love Bridget too, sometimes she just looks sooo young to me but i want to be her bff...lots of great rookies tbh.

Thanks for this. Who else was on the bubble as being the last cut?
I wish Malena had gone out with a more mature attitude -- that's not how you want people to remember you.
Ashlee kind of reminds me of Nicole Hamilton. She doesn't have much dance training, but she's willing to work hard and she has natural talent. I would also like to see her on the squad for several years.
Sounds like Brennan really needs to kill it this season, or Charlotte will be gunning for her next year.
I don't think Charlotte dislikes Brennan or wants her to fail, etc. when they were splitting hairs in final deliberation that night they were going over everything from who is the biggest dance risk to who isn't as "HD-ready". kelli is not kidding when she says how brutal it was to take it to 36. i know we all say ugh malena should have been ages ago but she personality and football knowledge etc were so great that kelli just had the worst time letting that go. i can't recall now everyone who was considered...I think taylor j for some dance issues like they noted in the episode.
Yes!! Ashlee does remind me of NIcole Hamilton, so agree!!

LOL was curious to see what all they'd show in this episode.
Charlotte was there because Kelli and Judy wanted her to be; I don't know if they really wanted HER to be the one to announce the team but they asked her to come because she wouldn't give them 38 and they really didn't want to cut anyone else, so who did SHE think they should cut. IIRC she said Malena and Brennan...Kelli knew she needed to cut Malena but saw more potential in Brennan than some of the others. From what I've heard, they were down to the absolute smallest details to make final cuts and more girls than we saw on episode were considered as the cut. I think Lily was just too under the radar this summer and that's what ended up getting her the goodbye boot. I do feel terrible for her...Malena had to know she was bottom of the barrel but there was no one else CLEARLY obvious. I think Lily will reaudition - she's living with girls on the team now and obviously she did well. With so little seniority remaining next year I'd think she'd have no problem making squad next summer if she fixes the little things they mentioned.
They were kind of Malena with what they showed of her office visit. It was quite the meltdown. I will be surprised if she reauditions and if they'd even take herI back to camp. I wonder if she got the nice edit because they felt bad in retrospect keeping her for ten freaking weeks and said goodbye at zero hour knowing she had no job to go back to, etc.
I have other thoughts but for now...I love Ashlee. I think if she stays a few years she could be another Kashara. she has the extra pop and sass and is so pretty.
Poor Jalyn with that first game. No wonder she got the ABBEY bear lol

2018 Season 13: Current Squad & Social Media
in S13
We don’t know that for sure. Kelli has no qualms about telling a girl she’s too thin. It’s very possible she’s spoken to worrying girls and they just haven’t made progress yet. Auditions will be interesting.
