I get maybe wanting to keep Thunderstuck as the song but that doesn’t mean they can’t tweak the dance each season. Seriously, switching up the entrance and kick line entrance (the circles) each home game should be easy for world class, but even maybe having a couple different ones each season, I think the crowd would enjoy. Also, I’m ok with the tags during the games not changing much, but after all these years, seeing the same 8 counts repeated in different orders for other performances (plaza, quarter changes, etc) is actually kinda disappointing.

Yeah, that's the weird part to me too! Do we know for sure if she is the one that might be edited to look like a cut (or the Erica treatment of being completely erased)? I picture it going down like this....they bring her into the office and give her the whole 'we feel like you aren't into it' and instead of her then professing her love for the DCC, she was like, yeah, I'm just here cause there is nothing else to do at the moment back where I'd rather be (aka this wasn't my first choice) and when she saw TPTBs horrified faces she figured she better peace out before they save her for that last shocking cut....😂

I'm scared to put this out in the universe, but I could see Jessica being put at point down the road strictly based on looks. Kinda reminds me of Holly H...good dancer, but also the average looking hot girl (like would appeal to the masses in TPTBs eyes). If Dani stickers around, that better be their go to blonde upfront first though

Jen A is still a surprising one to me when I first noticed her in the background during tryouts the year before she made it. I would think that would be a great comeback story, but I honestly think they are embarrassed to do it a lot of times bc then they would have to explain the ridiculous reasons why they didn't take them before (Melissa maybe weight, Jen looks?).

I feel I need to defend some of the LSU girls (I'm completely bias being from Louisiana/LSU).... It was the girls from Texas that went to LSU that were the mean girls on the team (Erica, Cerstan, Keyra).. The LSU girls from Louisiana were great... I'm looking at you Jace!! Jax & Tess were also from Louisiana. Jax seemed like a perfectly fine DCC & teammate, but Tess started messing up my theory towards the end 😂 Also I'll throw in the Minchew sisters....yes LSU but were not from Louisiana either (Georgia). So basically its the people not from Louisiana that should sour TPTB 😂

It crazy when you think about how many DCC greats tried out multiple times before making the team! I agree with everything you said about Auto Amy, but that's what made her cut even worse, especially the last night, I think they always knew they were going to cut her. As much as I want to believe they tried to give her every chance until the very end, I just don't believe it bc we've seen them let people on the team with bigger flaws IMO

This makes me think something big happened today/tonight. Is tonight the last night of TC? Squad announcement? Big surprise last minute cuts?

Thank you! I guess that doesn't support my theory but its not like someone can't injure something else

I agree, but really hope we're wrong! Although based on that picture of Taylor, I'm thinking its her. I've considered doing the research and looking to see which knee was an issue her rookie TC and see if that's the same leg she looks like she might be supporting 😂

I thought the last one was Caroline

I'm not sure which year but wasn't Angela a GL her 5th year when they showed her upset that she didn't make show group?

I noticed that too! Taking a second look, I think Ashlee & Chandi might have the same top too

I was kinda speculating the same thing. It was the insider info about her not apologizing that got me thinking it had to do with her behavior/attitude or something that may have happened (I know it was speculated maybe it had something to do with her IG being hacked....was there something shared from her personal messages? I could see her thinking she is the victim of the hack so not understanding why she should have to apologize for personal messages that got out that were unkind to her teammates? Again pure speculation) Its better for her to step away & wait for most of those upper vets to retire and start fresh with the team...

This!!! I was thinking the same thing....clear & to the point. It drives me insane now how she'll dance around the topic & then say 'maybe I'm not being clear...'. NO Kelli, you are not being clear!

Great chart!! Besides the edits above (which I believe are correct as well) I'm pretty sure Courtni Shea that is listed as retired after 1 year was actually cut in finals trying for her second year
