Nice video! Gorgeous and elegant gown. I always liked Yuko. Not the best dancer, but she was sweet and always looked like she was having fun. Also, I think having the wedding in Hawaii was a great idea, it's a great location for family/friends traveling from both countries.

Watching that makeover video made me miss Madeline S. and Shaina. I hope they both try out again and make it. I really liked both of them and thought they'd make great DCCs.

Team Kelli all the way. Know that you are admired and supported.

Here are my votes/guesses: PB - Heather VOTY - Maddie ROTY - Amanda

Uh... I might like that. 😉That actually sounds pretty good to me. Raises hand quietly.🖐️

IMO, these deleted and funny scenes are the types of interactions I'd like to see a little bit more of instead of constantly seeing the same struggling rookie candidates. Cianna is truly adorable and I love getting to see the fun interactions between Kelli and Judy (i.e., last year's photo shoot with Kelli's "shark attack" on Judy). The banana clip scene was also hilarious and Shelly's vehement statement was priceless! 😄

FUN GAME FOR THOSE ABOUT TO READ THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME: Take a drink (I just 'happened' to have a very nice chianti when I read it) every time the writer used the word Kalyssa when a pronoun could've been used instead.

I cannot love this post enough. I think I have a total girl crush on sweet, smart Madeline and really hope she comes back stronger than ever. I will absolutely be cheering for her 1,000%!

As much as I think Dorian is a very nice lady, I'm crying FOUL over the plates Dorian used. How many people have beautiful, clear, easily clippable/silhouttted pictures of our mother's hands that also happen to be strategically positioned to appear as if they're holding something in them?? I did a very quick search on the internet and found a whole series of plates that look amazingly similar to the ones that Dorian claimed as being her dear, departed Momma's. Source: https://www.bernardaud.com/en/us/je-te-mangerais-dans-la-main-set-of-6-dinner-plates Methinks something is fishy from production (yeah... looking at your "raw" fish Nick).

I really, really like both of these ladies as well and hope they come back next year. They're both beautiful and appear to be very smart, caring, and talented dancers. I think they'd be amazing DCC. I was also shocked at how RUDE Kelli was yet again to a legacy that isn't the "Chosen One" and while insulting legacy Madeline, she also managed to get a dig in at another legacy as well.

Their lines are wonky and their spacing stinks! YIKES!

Nevermind.

I'm loving Bridget's seat dancing and cheering over in the right corner! That girl just commands attention. ❤️

Ha! I got curious and and she's a 3rd connection of mine too! But, in all fairness, I do work for a firm with over 100,000 US employees alone, so chances were good. 😄

I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I actually really liked VK's response about who to cut. Way to think on your feet for a tricky question. Go figure!

Nicole Hamilton and Bridget Jacob. I could watch either of those dance for hours and hours.

I live in Pittsburgh and they don't have cheerleaders. However, I'm NOT a Steelers fan (they lost any kindness from me when they hired the puppy torturer Michael Vick), I am actually a die hard Green Bay Packers fan and they don't have professional cheerleaders either, so there's no conflict of me enjoying my "guilty pleasure" of watching MTT!

Not sure if I'm allowed to link this here or not, but ProDanceCheer has some great stills from the field at Finals: https://prodancecheer.com/nfl/cowboys/dallas-cowboys-cheerleaders-finals-auditions-photo-gallery-no-4/nggallery/page/1 I hate to say it, but VK looks really lovely (IMO). ETA: Sorry if these are old news! They came out while I was on vacay and I never must've came across them until now.

My updated impressions on some of the girls based on last night's show: Kat - Still gorgeous, but way too OTT. Really bad kicks. Crazy about the disparity in her kicks, too. Shows bad conditioning/technique. Not sure she's one of my favorites anymore. Gina-Marie - Still cute. Thick/short legs. Memory issues. Still too young/immature. Meredith - Absolutely lovely technique. Don't like her vocal fry. Needs to exude more power in her dancing. Victoria - She looks better than last year. Appears to be saying the right things attempting to show she's a "team player," but still not impressed. Gonna take more to convince me that child deserves a spot on the squad. Chandi - Could have done without the so-so sob story. She appears to be a really lovely girl outside and inside. She catches my eye every single time and that's what I like. My current favorite. Kristen - Still gorgeous, too. Still a little soft with her dancing. Needs to project more power. Rooting for her all the way, though. One of my top choices. There's something about her that I really, really like and think that with more confidence, she could be a great DCC. Julia - Didn't warm up to her from her weather girl intro the previous episode, but liked her quick recovery on the kick line flub. Still comes off as cold and somewhat fake. Not sure how I feel about her. Need to see more. ULCA2.0 (Sorry, can't recall her name) - Cute as a button, but doesn't seem quite ready for this whole thing. Really adorable, though. Needs more polish, too. Karate girl (Sorry, can't recall her name) - It's not going to happen. Seems like a great girl, but was lost through the test dance and her lack of training/technique showed. Loved her sleek bob from last year better, too. Alexandra - Really lovely girl. Like her perseverance. Although, it seemed like Kelli has already nixed her in her mind, so if Alex is going to continue, she needs to figure out how to change that perspective. That's her biggest hurdle, honestly. Bret - Cute girl - other than her weird eyebrows. Her dancing was good. Seems like she's sweet. Lily - Didn't see much of her this episode, but she does look much older than her actual years. Needs to bring more joy to her dancing. Malena - I really, really wish they hadn't brought her to finals. And, to call her LAST?! Talk about a MF on an already under-confident girl. Ugh. K&J can be cruel sometimes. She needs to just dance for fun. Her memory issues will hinder her chances on any professional dance team. I hate being so negative, but she is amazingly lovely and man, I'd KILL for her body, but them's the facts. Madeline S. - Quiet girl. Like a blonde shadow. Pretty in an unconventional way, but not quite DCC level yet. Needs more power. Needs to command attention. Needs a new hair color and style, too. Keep mixing her up with VK and that is NOT a good thing. Amanda - Teeny-tiny waist! I am still not a fan, so luckily for me, she was kept to small segments this episode. Overall... I was appalled by the lack of kicks and all the memory flubs with the routine test. Not really impressed with the talent (or lack, thereof) overall. Wondered how so many mistakes were made and they still made it into finals!

Here are my impressions of the TCCs that we saw last night: Amanda - So, so THIRSTY. Meh. Good dancer, but not liking her personality much yet. Fake it 'til ya make, right?! Kat - Gorgeous! Love her spunk. Want to see more. Chandi - Unique look. Love her warm eyes and smile. Want to see more. Gina - Young. Come back next year stronger and I'll be on your side. Julia - Meh. Easy there, traffic girl. It's just traffic. Show me you can dance. Victoria - Sigh. I really wanted to see some sort of redemption. Got none. Oh wait, she hugged a few girls and high fived them. What a team player! Put those boots on her now! UGH Lisa - Cute from the scenes of her dancing. Want to see more to judge. Lily - Girl after my heart with the low snark. Don't think she has the DCC look, though. Expect her to be cut. Malena - Gawd no. Just NO. Kristen - Looked very pretty. Want her to lose those false eyelashes though. Hope she makes it this year. Meredith - Seemed to be making a point to be "perky" as low energy was a comment on her last year. Need to see more of her dancing before I decide if I like her or not. Others... Haven't seen enough to judge from my couch yet. 😉

Really late to the party, but thought I'd share so I can come back and laugh at my choices down the road... Love: Bridget, Caroline, Hannah, Ashlee, Brianna, Cianna, Jalyn, Alanna, and Erin Like: Heather, Molly, Amber, Brennan, Taylor, Gina, and Amy Never Really Catch My Eye: Alexis, Madeline, Rachel A, Tess, Lexie, Maddie, and Miranda Wouldn't Cry If They Got Cut: Rachel W, Daphne, Savannah, and Christina I'm reserving my opinions about the current TCC's until I see them in action (yes, there are a few that are well known to us already, but will give each the benefit of doubt once the new season starts). To whomever started this, thank you! This was fun! 🙂

WOW! Caroline looks like a brunette version of a young Christie Brinkley.

YASSSSS!!!

Oh Gawd. Kat Dunn. Gonna be a long summer if she stays in the house. Can't wait to watch that train wreck! LOL!

Thanks for clarifying! I thought that was her mother.
