I loved seeing this section too. It was great hearing Gina speak without vocal fry and giving that great tip about keeping her arms behind her chest to look 'strong.' She sometimes speak in "sing-song" voice, but I could also see her being a great teacher for the Jr DCC camps. Also maybe an unpopular opinion but I thought Lexie looked gorgeous in the talking head, and she seemed incredibly articulate, and a great teacher during the combo. I was one who thought Lexie would make a great point - even over Gina or Rachel.

I might be in the minority but I loved seeing and hearing Lexie on this episode. She doesn’t speak in sing-song or vocal fry like Gina, and she seems mature, articulate and honest with her teaching and feedback. She also looked gorgeous in the close up talking head. Also curious that Rachel wasn’t one selected to do the veteran feedback, if she’s the DCC golden child. She made 1st group leader while Ashlee is a 2nd group leader… Sus. I also thought Maddie looked the freshest and best she’s ever looked. The lighter hair color looks great on her.

Tori’s uniform fitting and her Jr DCC picture felt fake and produced to me. Tori made it to uniform fittings the year before, so if it was genuine, she would have had this feeling of “dreams coming true” the year prior (even if Kelli wore a mask and rubber gloves that year). It felt like a bride crying when seeing herself in a wedding dress for the first time… but on her second wedding 🤣😂🤣😂.

Taylor the race car driver is my vote! She brought so much personality and spunk to their dances, and had a unique background as a driver in a male dominated sport. She was so Texas, but also a guys gal. She also seemed like she had a really good head on her shoulders. When she got cut, she cried but she didn’t seem devastated - she realized her body wasn’t as flexible as the others, and her kicks weren’t as high but ultimately it was the DCC’s loss!

Kelli Q was also tiny - I remember them featuring her as the 'shortest' during their Hall of Fame tour

Fitting!

Kleine is adorable - rooting for her. But I just checked Natalie Wood's instagram account and .... just wow. I thought Rachel W was controversial, but Natalie Wood is absolutely NOT for me. Feel bad that Kleine has to live there. I'd reconsider sleeping in my car!

This is correct - Broadway stars and backstage crew all need to be fully vaccinated. There have been several cases of big names being dropped from Broadway shows due to not being vaccinated. This is also possibly true. Aloha Rose might have the vaccine but could be sharing that everyone should make their own choice and do their research. Same could be said for her MLM products though!

I'm from New York and no offense taken - in fact, we take pride on Vaccination here in NYC. And if New York City has captured Alora Rose's heart, she's going to be in for a huge surprise when she can't (1) get a dance job (2) attend any gym or fitness classes (3) eat at a restaurant (4) go to a museum.. In New York City, you have to present your Vaccine passport to do any of the following: • Indoor dining • Indoor gyms • Indoor entertainment • Indoor museums. New York City really isn't the same if you don't have access to those, especially as we head towards the winter months.

Jacie not being in the front row, let alone center, is why this picture is total blasphemy.

I’m not even a huge Claire fan but my guess is that she’ll be moved much closer up as well. Claire, Chandi, Marissa, Kat, Dani and Darian are all moving WAY up.

I’m not a huge fan of Rachel but I understand why she’s one of the points - she never has a bad shot. Always smiling, eyes engaging and to camera (ironic because she’s dead in the eyes to me when she dances and lacks sparkle) and her hair always looks great. Having said that, Chandi is KILLING IT in these pictures too. She also has that uncanny ability to look great in every picture: smiling, engaging, flirting with camera but still looking sassy. Chandi is one of my faves by far, and so glad that K+J agree. Also Im everyone else is noticing her more as well - but those pictures prove it!

Kat, Brennan, Hannah, Maggie, Bridget… Let this sink in: Amy did five years, was point and got pro bowl.

If they can keep Meredith because she’s so beautiful (but truly one of the worst dancers) then they can keep Ashley for her cute (and different) look. If you find a flower that hasn’t been in the last ten years of your “bouquet” then you make room in your arrangement for it!

On Instagram Stories, Jada posted a selfie in uniform in the locker room. So she’s in.

Kat and Rachel are both gorgeous but Kat is hilarious, and Rachel is an interesting as boiled potatoes. Team Kat anyday!

Rachel W and Amber making 3 signs with Mackenzie. Is this group 3?

I’m curious why Ginas cameo picture wasn’t used last year, and they reused an old one. Any chance this is related to all of the scoops above? Or possibly a reason why she is extra self conscious?!

I think Kat is a shoo-in to make the team again this year, along with Ashlee, Rachel, Taylor, Dani, etc. I don’t think Kelli would put a girl on the cover of a calendar if she was ‘on the bubble’. Of course anything could happen (Holly, Erica come to mind) but those would be out of the ordinary circumstances. As it stands, I bet Kat makes the team. Which I love cuz I am TeamKat 150%. Edited to add - shame about Amanda. She was obviously a fave (with Kelli, and also with this board) but the tides turn quickly.

Ashley and Tyra stand out for me because there are no others that look like them! Who would have thought we'd miss Maddie's curls! or Amandas, but Kleine is like a younger, cuter, more vaccinated version of Amanda so no loss there!

Now we know why Alanna was so far back in the Team Photo and triangle, despite being a clean dancer!

is it possible to vote Lemonbus as POTY - poster of the year???

People are shocked and outraged by the idea that the girls are being “forced” to get vaccinated… the same girls who are assigned haircuts and hair colors without their input, told what to wear on an airplane, taught how to eat soup in public, and are weighed weekly. If you don’t want to be vaccinated and instead want to stand up for your “rights and beliefs,” you haven’t been paying attention to the last 15 seasons of MTT! Requesting the girls be vaccinated is probably one of the BETTER decisions the team has made, and one that is there to protect them. But to each, their own…

Of course we all want to know names and details, but I'm still a sucker for even the smallest pieces of gossip and news! It's almost like the slow tease is more exciting than just hearing the full details.

Umm… Marissa isn’t wearing pink?!
