Of this season's rookie training camp candidates, I thought that Alexis, Brianna, Kalyssa, Madeline, and Molly stood out for their looks, and Brianna and Madeline are out.

Some of the most low-key second years on the squad look so good in that group photo, particularly Milan, Selina, and Yuko. They radiate a real happiness to be back in training camp, when so many people didn't think they stood a chance. Jessika, Kelsey, and Tess too. All of them were labeled as on-the-cusp girls, and all of them proved the naysayers wrong in being invited back to training camp. Good for them, I like them all.

And Holly is looking adorbs in that group photo. I wish they would let her grow out her hair, it's so much younger and fresher on her.

That is Kelsey Bond. Confirmed.

Madeline and Alexis both have the right look for the team. Maybe Madeline will come back with more preparation and training next year, and have a better chance. I hope Alexis makes it.

Thank you for assembling the photos Mittens, very helpful. Madeline's cut has been been alluded to several times now, but I suppose we won't know for sure until the show airs. The veteran Maddie was an early cut the first season she auditioned, and came back to be a rock star. Did someone say that they can only take eleven rookies this year? That means there are still six girls left to cut. This is such a difficult process. Is it just me, or could Brianna be Kendall Jenner's sister?

Funny. But I do think a lot of us come here to elude the pervasive 24/7 political talk these days.

She has such a cute look, so that isn't it, but some Division I pom and dance choreography is less challenging than what they will see in training camp. You have to be a quick study.

During or right before training camp, Madeline put up something on Instagram about a makeup line she promotes. Maybe they didn't want her promoting her own brand after the initial auditions? But a few vets also promote products and that has never gotten anyone in trouble, so that is probably not the reason why she was cut. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

I guess the fact that Lauren likes your question means that Madeline is the brunette that was cut second. I find that cut surprising as I thought she had a good chance to make the team. I have Notre Dame family. Can't wait to see why she was cut when the show airs.

Please don't hate me for this because I love having her on the team but I don't understand why Holly would stay beyond this year except for the thrill of cheering at the Super Bowl from the sidelines. She has an amazing dance career ahead of her and for one reason or another she is not currently on the leadership track. Unless Holly thinks they will promote her to an assistant group leader/group leader next year, I wouldn't want to risk the strain and possible injury that another year of NFL dancing might bring.

How could they have cut Madeline so early when someone said she got thirteen out of fifteen yes votes from the judges?

Hello everyone! I have been following this site for a few weeks, and want to join in the fun. Can someone please give us some strong hints as to who has been cut so far? Or better yet, just straight out tell us ;) I think Madeline is going to be one we all love, don't know why except I think she is so cute on her social media. Maybe the next Maggie or Erica?
