[Current DCCs: My Boots Do the Talking]

I certainly can see Jenna staying past five years.

Agreed, I think it will be six for her, for some reason. Danielle I think this could be her last year along with Jessica but for all I know they could all return next year lol. I noticed Shelbi this year asking Danielle if she was returning on instagram, so it's not always a given that anyone will return.

I'm jumping way ahead of myself here haha but who does everyone think will be selected for Pro bowl next year? I'm thinking it could be Erica, KaShara (due to popularity, not tenure), Jennifer(Could definitely see her), or Melissa?

I would like to see a little more of the vets prior to finals too. Like maybe during the semi-finals episode do some cut aways to the returning vets showing their prepping for their solo or talking about how they kept in shape and trained during the off season. Stuff like that. It may also be nice if they went over who retired or decided not to return in some short way.

I love the semi-final episode just so you can see the faces in the crowd of who was there and came back again, etc. It's also a really good episode to look back on years later and seeing people who later made the squad and realizng they were cut in prior years.

Definitely, sometimes it feels during TC on the show as though the vets are extras in some way, just faces in the crowd lol. We become so invested in them as rookies it's a shame we don't get to hear more of their stories as veterans.

I was wondering that too! but i think it largely depends on how they look and how they dance lol Sunni Cranfield was in her 30s too I believe when she was on the squad but she looked great and could keep up with the young ones ;) Kat has her tiny size in her favor too - I think she could easily be taken as someone in her early to mid 20s.

Colby is an example of someone 'older' who just couldn't 'hack it' - she couldn't dance like a 21 year old and was SO thin she looked older than 30 (to me, anyway). that said - I did like Colby as a person. Just wasn't right for the squad.

Yes that makes sense that it depends on their look and dance ability, I agree. Sunni did look great as does Kat she could easily pass for 20! Her figure is so delicate and enviable also! I remember one episode from the later seasons where they grouped the girls according to age and had them perform and if memory serves me right Veronica, Katy and Brittney were in the older group, among others. Can't have done wonders for their confidence lol but this is what they have to expect in TC!

Not sure where to post this but I often wonder how age factors into the girls decision to audition again as vets, like with Kat being 30 now if she makes the squad again this year will she audition next year as a 31 year old? Not sure how K&J feel about this as we have seen I believe a 60 year old audition before and I know Brittney Schram was 26 when she made it! Don't get me wrong I'm all for older than the normal 18 year old girls making it further! :) I wonder will we see any older auditionees this year making TC? :)

I'm guessing all returning DCCs will be invited back to training camp this year, as so many vets are retiring but who knows! Some could be on the chopping block if they don't bring it in their solos, have noticeably gained weight or had a bad year as we have seen before. However, looking at the girls on instagram etc. it appears none have gained a significant amount of weight or had a bad year. Definitely exciting to watch it all unfold, drama and all lol! Auditions are so close now! Pulling for Shelbi to make it back to TC. I wonder will Colby audition again, though I'm guessing not. She has posted a picture on instagram recently of herself and her mother saying "Any good left in me started right here #Mama #fountainofwisdom #cheeky #loveyou" which mirrored what she said to K&J last year about her cheeks making me think somehow she won't audition again....
