yeah, ROTY has nothing to do with dance ability. I adore Sav but can't ever see her as point LOL

The fact that Savannah got ROTY and isn't a powerhouse or even one of the best dancers says so much about her character and who she is as a person and teammate. As for your top paragraph, I agree about Rookie Rachel. I love her but I don't see her being a 5 year girl. It wouldn't shock me if she's one and done; tho vets don't have to deal with CMT as much so she may be ok with doing another year if it means she's not dealing with cameras all the time. I think Miranda and Molly will re-audition for sure. Savannah and Christina I could see retiring. Rachel is actually a really strong dancer, weight is more her issue so she may be over it.

+1.

LMAO!!

aww...well, i just never ever want something i say to bloch someone's reputation or make people here write them off as terrible humans. i try not to share anything that i haven't heard from more than one or two different people but i know from my own life how more than one person's word doesn't make something fact. no one is 100% terrible.

oh i'm pretty sure she was tough on VK in her prep classes and i don't doubt shared her concerns with Kelli and Judy. Whether we will see that in editing, who knows.

I don’t want people to think jenn and kash were like the sharks and jets lol I think a better way to put it is like, jenn cares a lot about maintaining the legacy of DCC as world class, and she cares about it more than she might another DCC’s feelings. Does that make sense? I don’t want to start a rumor that jenn hated kash and tried to ruin her DCC career. It was more of, this girl doesn’t sound like a DCC, she sounds dumb, I sure wouldn’t put her on appearances. Which pisses me off because it’s so judgmental but then again, I wasn’t offended by kash’s remarks on game bird and clearly a lot of people were. LOL I just need to keep my mouth shut ?

Haha! You know I love ya!!! You are the Lacey to my kashara ... or something ?

I was surprised Rachel did too, she is such a strong performer. Isn't she on WW on and off tho? Maybe that's been a concern for them. I dunno, her swimsuit photos were some of my faves. I think Heather O is just ready to be done; Kash is her last super bestie on the team ... Maggie, Allie and little Heather are all gone. Girls often change their mind last minute but right now I think we will see a lot of upper vets leaving. I'm not even trying to say it's because of drama or K&J or Vic or anything, I just think a lot will move on. it will seem more dramatic because there is so little seniority. No, and I don't think it will come out. I don't mean to say she alone kept Kashara off show group! but certain people have Kelli's trust and ear. Jenn is one of them. But I honestly can't remember Kashara's dancing early on - I know Melissa R thought she was adorable with her wink and whatnot but was she SG worthy those first couple years? I'd have to look back at who some of the vets were and other rookies.

Ha truth!! My body bounced back so much faster in late teens/early 20s than now. Lacey hasn't even had any injuries I don't think, that is pretty impressive. I do think Erica was a consideration for a while for sure...but that injury really threw it off because she could barely practice with it. I think it wouldn't have been shocking if Holly Powell had gotten it too. I always have to remind myself how each year very qualified girls don't get that spot - Emma, Jacie, for instance. that's part of why i really don't think it every upset Lacey.

I feel like Tess will do one more year; Tasha is 50/50 to me. I hope she does because of her maturity but I keep thinking she'll want another kid someday soon. I could be totally wrong tho.

Heather is not a GL in any capacity this year. She's still a great person tho and ambassador. She is completely fine having more free time this year lol I do think this is her last year though.

i think it's just a mix of her taking ownership of leading and jumping in to fill in wherever needed. Lacey is much more reserved and in the back ground. That isn't a diss to her character at all - obviously she's wonderful since she's the GL for Group 1 and essentially team captain, correct? and we all assume Lacey is upset she's not point; it's absolutely possible she does not care. I think this will always be hard for the two of us to come to terms with since you dislike Kash so much LOL VOTY is the only honor I really am not sure who will get! that will be such an interesting one. totally possible it's Lacey for that too.

I don't think they were dissing Lacey; they love Lacey. Kash is more dynamic for point, the only criticisms I ever hear for Lacey are how soft she is. she's clean but she doesn't have the power and pop that Kashara does. Kash stepped up a lot last year, particularly when she went from being a second leader to running Erica's group. I think she just impressed them a lot. My heart was so full when Judy praised her again this year saying Kash did a great job and she had no reason not to make her point again. My money is on Lacey being pro bowl tho this year! she deserves it for sure. Jenn is a go - getter; I admire that aspect of her SO much. She is just one of those people who sets a goal and goes for it.

It's nothing crazy dramatic but I think it's STUPID - she hated Kash's accent so much that she didn't think she should be given any opportunities with speaking and was key in keeping her off show group. i get that a lot of people think her accent is 'too much' but judging people for the way they speak due to their culture ... I have little tolerance for that crap. It says a lot more about people who are that judgmental than the ones they are judging. anyway. Takes a calming breath LOL This is what I heard from more than one person; even so, I always say take everything you hear with a grain of salt. Most importantly, Jenn seems to like her fine now. Jenn was very supportive when Kash got PB and i know i've seen her post nice things about her before. water under the bridge at this point. I don't hate Jenn at all. I know I've stood up for her before. I just don't know if I love the idea of her ever running the show unless she has another person to help provide a check and balance on some of her weird critiques.

I think Jenn K's choreo is fine and the classes she teaches seem to truly be useful - not just with their 'power and projection' but also with becoming more aware of how DCC are expected to act (mature, professional, etc.) She seems to offer real encouragement and information that helps a lot of girls. THAT said, I think Jenn lets her own quirks define her decisions too often. I don't want to say petty reasons because sometimes she DOES have valid critiques (like a low kick). But her definition of 'pop' and even her rude judgment of Kashara based solely on her accent...I lose some respect for her and take her overall criticisms with a grain of salt. as for her weight, she DID just have a baby and was pregnant for a lot of the past year lol. Normally I know she works hard to be in shape, she's never been ripped.

wait, is this in the upcoming episode? was this another accidental early release? LOL I've never heard of this lady but I like her. Poor Tara. This had to be the final nail in the coffin.

Yes she did, 1000%, no hesitation on that.

I feel bad for Tara. I think there was a lot going on in her life that just had her in a rough place. I have my speculations based on even just her appearance but they are speculations and not fact. She was one of my favorite rookies so I'm still sad she wasn't able to pull it together because you could tell Kelli and even Judy liked her a lot. Savannah was lost in that clip but not all summer long. I know a lot of people here hate her but she is not a bad dancer or performer in the least; by no means the strongest vet but she's solid and her personality/who she is as a person and teammate makes her an asset to the squad. Again, I know she gets dragged here a lot but she's an amazing person; I'm still waiting to hear about someone, anyone, on the team who doesn't just love her and appreciate her. That said, whether they end up showing it or not, she did have an office visit to discuss whether anything was up or if she was just 'off.'

Charlotte. They really wanted 38 - even Judy who loves her spacing for 36 - and Charlotte would not budge. I'm very much looking forward to that episode to see how much we get to see. FTR I like Charlotte. I know absolutely zilch about budgeting for a major football franchise so I can't comment on whether I think her decision was wise/necessary. Part of me still thinks they stick to 36 because it keeps a certain level of prestige. "oh you're a wold class dancer and performer? sorry, we only take 36 and you just finished at 37. what can we say, we just attract the best of the best!" My understanding was they were splitting hairs the last practice trying to figure out who to cut. I feel bad for LIly but I'll take her being let go over some of the others who were up for a possible last minute hail mary cut. I really hope she tries out again next year. She was well liked. Kitty giving a sticker to Victoria over JALYN still makes me eye roll SO hard. Ok Kitty.

Agreeeeee. I adore her.

ohh my...this will be a tough episode to watch. I remember hearing that this was a particularly rough night for *many* of the girls.

One minute you're performing Thunderstruck in the Cowboys' stadium the next in a random parking lot. Le sigh.

Love Brianna's look, brunette or blonde! i keep hoping she'll make it to TC one of these years. i know she is close with tara and amber. i was at a local diner yesterday and they had big head shots up of the local high school cheerleading seniors and THOSE were 10000% times better than the DCC headshots this year. The lighting, the girls' hair and make up...they all looked beautiful and im' thinking wtf this is a random high school not pro cheerleaders.

and I think every one of them is beautiful soooo LOL just goes to show, to each their own. oh mercy, i didn't notice her lips yet. i HATE lip injections, my least favorite thing people do to their faces these days.
