Oh definitely, I guess this is more for the not so sure girls/rookies. I don't want to wait until swimsuit calendar time to guess around based on who's in it like last year. :P Let the stalking of instagrams and Twitters begin! (As if we don't do that already) Prefered targets: Erica, Jinelle, Lacey, Cersten, and Melissa

Guess we can officially start a list? Retiring JennK, Danielle, Jessica, Jenna, Bess?(based on an insta post) Returning Heather H, Maggie, Amy L, TBC

I believe that's Maddie behind Holly towards the right, and it's hard to tell but that could be Kelsey to the right of the light blue tank top (Mandy?)

I thought it was strange that they didn't include the DCRB as well, considering there were several Mavs/Mavs alumni dancers performing.

I heard there was a blog she wrote as well (but has since taken down?) about that cut. Wasn't lucky to catch it.

The fact that the last time all veterans made it back was Season 5 shows that they're taking too many one hit wonders. As much as I love to root for people, if there's going to potentially be a huge rookie class I hope they only take the ones that they truly think will shine and return. Even if they have to have a smaller squad, these "give em a chance" rookies are getting old. All of that said, Kelsey please make it back! :P

If it's "of the season" then I think it means just that. If she was retiring she would have put last game ever similar to those who are. I see her and Melissa as definite 5 year girls.

Instead of having Melissa Rycroft as a mentor, I wish they would pair an alum to certain TCC (who needed mentoring at least) that overcame similar scenarios as them, like how Jinelle and Yuko had a little session together last season. Bring in Sydney or Holly who auditioned young for those straight out of high school girls, use Kelli or Maddie next year for those who've audition before, etc. I'd rather catch up with alums and get to see more veterans that 20 minutes each episode with Melissa who's been far removed from the team for some time now.

Loved everything about the halftime. Some standouts for me were the glimpses of the rookies we got to see, though Maddie's flip looked like it hurt. Kashara and Stephanie looked so gorgeous on screen. You could tell this was definitely Holly's style but everyone looked to be enjoying the choreo. Such fun. Megan still looked big to me but not in the chubby way, just wide, and Danielle just looked like her shorts were too small :/

She was in there, back middle/middle left in the same outfit JennK/Holly/Jessica had.

Mystery solved

36 on the field

All of those in agreement that Maggie is the cutest thing ever say 'Aye'.

I agree with you, as much as they preach complacency with veterans re-auditioning it's odd that daughters can get away with using the DCC tag in their handles. If other girls auditioning did that I don't see it going over well.

That's practice though, either could have still been out of halftime.

Can't remember who it was and when she said it happened, but claimed she was left out of the Halloween and BCA halftimes. If it happened during TC I wonder why they would take her on the team in the first place?

Discussed in the Current DCC thread a ways back. Some kind of "blow up" and was written up by her group leader.

Who is that off to the side (and why?) Is Selina still out of special halftimes or is that punishment over?

Sometimes when you get really into a dance, you make weird faces...I don't think she's trying to be sexy? Other girls are making "faces" but let's continue to pick on Holly. *eyeroll*

I'd assume there's going to be a 12th season since they did that survey a few months back.

Yes, that's Michelle.

The way I feel about Cassie can be compared to those chewable vitamins that are "fruit flavored" but really taste like chalk.

They're performing for halftime? Are we going to get to see that new hip hop routine show group did? Lord bless us please...
