I could see Lily making it if she re auditions. I got the impression from the show that Brennan was the weakest link at the end but they didn’t want to cut her for a third time and all the group leaders were vouching for her. In the end they kept her, and Lily was the unfortunate sacrifice.

Interesting that Savannah and Miranda both went to LA when neither are part of showgroup. I would have suspected that maybe they didn’t take rookies but Bridget is there, so that can’t be the case. Maybe Savannah and Miranda are just favorites and ultimately we will see them in Showgrouo next year or possibly even leaders.

THIS!!! Even if she's not being extra, then she's a second before/after the other girls. Either are bad, no?!

Yes - I believe it was said that the Group 1 Leader is the unspoken *main* leader for the whole squad. Amy has really grown on me and looks great as the point / center of Group 3 performances. She also has the maturity, dance training and teaching background to lead the squad next season. (I don’t see Maddie having the same level of maturity). As to her being point, I’m not sure but I could possibly see her in the triangle or at Khalyns current position. And I'd MUCH rather have Amy as Point than Gina - I think point is more than just the girl who flips her hair most! The team would be lucky to have someone like Amy leading them. And she could be the next Jinelle: sweet, dependable, beloved. A favorite.

I also have this feeling - she’s in Texas, has a dance studio and got married over New Years so there’s nothing really taking her away from the team. She would be a shoo-in for Group Leader 1 and likely Pro Bowl girl if she stayed, and it would be her moment to shine in light of so few other veterans. My only question is where she would be located in the triangle - is she an under the radar pick for point?

I just LOVE Lacey, but man it was so hard for her to get a word in edgewise because Kashara kept talking over or interrupting her!

The music is AWFUL. The fake ThunderDeck The Halls sounds like a bad .99 cent store CD or rights free karaoke song. The Neon Cowgirl fake version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town, with music chords stolen straight out of the Prince song is even worse. I know these girls have lots of dances to learn, but can’t they just perform different choreo made specifically for this Christmas show? It’s actually embarrassing and cringe inducing to watch recycled choreo to bootleg songs. Also, I can’t imagine AC/DC or Prince is cool with them ripping off the song. I would think there’s a lawsuit here waiting to happen... *calling Erica’s lawyer*

Dak Prescott gained 11 pounds in the off season but looked great when he lost it for the Cowboys swimsuit calendar! And he makes great facials when he throws a long pass. “A guys ability to be comfortable in front of the camera will make Coach Jason Garrett more interested in seeing them out on the field.”

Slightly off topic but which of the Dallas Cowboys is handsome enough to be quarterback? Personally, I don’t think Mike White has the face for it or the universal appeal.

Victoria for all three!!!! As Kitty says, she deserves the respect to be considered, she has been with this program since she was a baby - haha But seriously I’d love Lacey for pro bowl, Maddie, Amy, Tasha Or Heather for VOTY and someone unexpected and under the radar like Ashlee or Cianna or Gabby for ROTY.

If I was a betting man, I’d bet that was next year’s point! (but I also guessed this year’s triangle would be Maggie Robin and Lacey, so that’s why I don’t gamble!)

I’m no Kalyssa fan but in this case, removing the clothing would have helped. Those sweatshirts are fugly!

Maybe they wanted to pick someone Filipino/Puerto Rican/Jewish/Ukrainian! ??????

Surprised that Lacey and Kashara are not where Gina and Heather are placed - that would be the most obvious place for them. Extra surprised that Tess and Alexis are placed in the front as well - I'd have put Tasha and/or Savannah in one of their places! Also surprised Heather is so up-in-front, after what JohnGalt said about her not being in Kelli's good books. Too bad, she's my favorite! The worst row to be standing is second from the top: Amber, Madeline, Caroline, Gabby. You can barely see their heads! Overall, not one of my favorite layouts - I liked last year's much better!

Amy and Tasha were the only two who were featured in the “Catching Up with the Veterans” segments and I got the feeling they featured as a way to persuade them to stay another year. I definitely could see Kelli and Judy wanting them to be the leaders for the 2019 season, even if neither ended up being point and this was their subliminal way of trying to flatter them to stick with the squad for one more year.

The girls I think could be point (or would like to be point, not that they are asking me!) Lexie (if she doesn't retire) Heather (if she doesn't retire) Daphne (I could see her being a future point; on SG and the right look) Bridget/Amber (still can't tell them apart but like them both!) Tasha (pretty so I could see it although I don't think she's a standout dancer) I'm personally not a fan of Gina's (I find her dancing distracting, and too 'big') or Maddie (Not the right look for point).

Who is the girl beside her on the left? She looks great!

Rookie Rachel was taken for calendar cover!

I love Judy (my favorite!) but a couple things about her twitter post: As a tv show, they should be thanking their fans for watching, even if they disagree with cuts or final team members. People are always going to disagree and post critical opinions whether it’s American Idol or Top Model. The worst case is not couch potatoes criticizing your choices, but rather no one talking about your show at all. Her twitter reply would *not* have passed social media training day! We may only see 15 minutes but Scott the Weatherman saw the whole audition process and had many of the same feelings we did. You can’t blame editing for that!

Thanks Dallas Fit Cryo!

These Cowboy Fit infomercials are REALLY forced and painful to watch. PS remember last season when Kelli Judy and Kitty sat in the normatec compression leg chairs while they evaluated the girls? They need to better integrate these product placements!

There are many situations that the DCC will get thrown into that they won’t be briefed about: sponsor events, showing up at schools, grocery store appearances, etc. I think the luncheon was a great test to see if the girls understand how to dress and act in certain situations. It may be unfair if they haven’t learned these lessons prior to DCC, but life ain’t always fair! And that’s why maturity goes a long way, and girls who have gone through college or university will be better prepared for these. Victoria has obviously never been to a nice dinner except as the daughter/child of someone. And that’s exactly what her dress looked like.

But she has great hair!!

“Sorry Jinelle, can’t text back at the moment!”

I need someone to do a CSI style forensic analysis of all of the rookies and vets and list the initials beside all of them. The ones featured on the show are obvious but you can also see other girls pictures with stickers too - Caroline for example did not get a sticker from Kitty. Tara didn’t get my stickers either. Who volunteers to spend their night digitally analyzing and listing out the stickers for us? I’d love to know what Christina and Yuko got. I also noticed Savannnah had a ton of sticker but then failed miserably later in the episode on the field. Also I love Ashlee and though she only got 2 stickers, I was happy to see Kelli was one of them!
