Brennan is acquitting herself as quite the fashionista. She's worn some lewks lately. I appreciate it...we could use some risk takers amongst this group who often dress identically to each other.
Agreed! I always find myself being surprised in a good way by her outfit choices. The one she wore to the end-of-year banquet immediately comes to mind.

Malena may be nuts, but she's also absolutely beautiful and well-spoken when she's not breaking down. That said, the videos of her make it obvious she's still nowhere near ready. It's clear they're bringing her back for the drama and I as a viewer look forward to see how this all plays out.

I think if as many people return as we think might, Christina really needs to step her game up at finals to make the team again. And, sadly, so does my girl Brennan (even though I love her so so much) because they don't always seem convinced by her at auditions. I could see Khalyn, Tasha, Tess, and Lauren all retiring - hope none do.

I know Caroline doesn't get much love here but I like her. She has some sass and one hell of a booty pop.
I'm really into Caroline. I like girls like her who stay under the radar, yet are solid. I think she's a good dancer who is pretty and seems to get along with her team and is low-key, yet not a blender. That said I don't discount the fact that she has connections, but I don't think she'll be a Jessika. Or maybe she will and that's why I'm almost scared of speaking it into existence, who knows. Either way, go Caroline.

Where are people getting these slow-mo gifs of the ladies?

Wow. Kelsi looks wildly beautiful, and I'm glad they popped some headphones on that newborn!

Lacey for Pro Bowl.
Kashara for VOTY.
I feel confident about those.
I would like to see ROTY go to Brennan, but I know that is less likely than someone like Bridget - who I'd also love to see get it! Anyone else have a weird feeling it's going to be Rachel though?

I'm rewatching pieces of season 10 (I mainly wanted to see KaShara wearing the wrong uniform on the first day ((I forgot that Raylee, her roommate at the time, wore the wrong one too)). Maybe a hot take but I really really liked TCC Colby. Kelli was a brat to her. I thought Colby would have had a great alternative DCC look if she gained five pounds and slightly adjusted her makeup and hair, and she was a good dancer. She also seemed chill and like someone I could hang out with in real life.

Maddie looks as good if not better in the uniform than several. She has a thick waist...well hell...so do I...and I have a TRUE muffin top if someone wants to see what muffin top looks like...my point is she is healthy looking...let her be! Let the other girls with fuller hips be...Miranda, Kash, Tasha, Khalyn (yes even she has curvier hips and i LOVE her). These girls are beautiful as they are. The only time they need to be concerned with their weight, is if the uniform stops fitting and they want to stay on the squad.
I always think it's funny to see how people who post here ask for and encourage diversity on the team and then whenever the TPTB decide to deviate even oh so slightly from the DCC norm, this page goes wild thinking they're actually fat lol. Maddie has a non-Barbie build and is her own brand of sexy, super cute and a great dancer on top of being a good ambassador. She's earned what she's gotten on the team.

Re: Caroline. She doesn’t get a lot of attention here, but judging from social media, she seems to be a favorite among the rookies.
I honestly think she'll be in the run for rookie of the year. She seems to be a locker room favorite. And even though she didn't get much attention on the show, she always caught my eye in the periphery with her strong, natural movement and Kashara-esque pop. I think they didn't want to spend too much attention on her because she obviously has family pull within the sports world and even though she clearly made it on her own merit, they don't want to come off as exclusive like that. But overall she's one of my favorites.

I've always liked Brennan's look and the mature way in which she carries herself, but it seems like she's been coming into herself even more since finally making the squad. She and Caroline, who doesn't get nearly enough attention around here, look great here.

Amber is in between Gina and KaShara.
Every one of these girls looks absolutely beautiful in this photo.

Ugh I forgot HOW GOOD Melissa was. She's outdancing JennK at point.
Melissa, in my eyes, is one of the best of the best DCC ever (right up there with Kashara ((controversial? Maybe.)). She had the technique, the look, the power, and the pop.

I think the team absolutely cares where they’re situated in pictures, placed in dance formations, featured, etc. They probably aren’t obsessed about it, but I think they definitely care.
Whenever this discussion comes up I always think of Gina's talking head on the show last year during solos. She said something along the lines of, "Solos are more my forte...I've never liked blending into the crowd, I always want to stand out and be noticed." Whether or not you like Gina, I thought that was telling (girl is definitely chasing point!). While plenty may be "just happy to be there," I can't imagine the more senior girls that are further back in the triangle (Jessika and Amy come to mind) love the spot they're in. But who knows.

I wonder if the TPTB noticed or cared that Brennan posted spoilers. I'm here for it though! Go Brennan!

Hmmm....Rachel, Briana, Cianna. All three very down to earth, genuine. I had been talking with Cianna for the past two and 1/2 years, trying to get her to audition. I’m glad she finally made it to Texas.
I love this as Cianna has been by far my favorite rookie...may I ask how she ended up on your radar in the first place? I always thought her roots (Hawaii, Portland) set her apart from the other rookie candidates, and even though we heard her backstory on the show, I'm sure there's a lot more to her than meets the eye. She is a beautiful dancer and, in my opinion, has an absolutely stunning standout look.

Anyone else watching the Cowboys game right now? I always like getting peeks of the girls during actual games, though I wish they showed halftime/entrance footage. There was a closeup of Bridget after their first touchdown and she looked so radiant and beautiful! It was also very easy to spot Cianna during zoomed-out pans of sideline routines...I LOVE her hair.

Finally caught up with the latest episode and with this board. The Victoria topic has been beaten to death on this board and I'm over it, and I'm among those who think Kelli is at the point of being too biased and out of touch to be a truly smart and shrewd director - but at the end of the day, when it comes to pure enjoyment of watching the show, I'm totally into VK as the "villain" of this season because I'm of the few, I think, who believe she's a genuinely nice and normal-ish person and is having an edit and gossip centered around her for ratings and drama.
Erin has improved SO much. She's so fun to watch now and least season she made me cringe. Go girl.
Bridget is going to be a star if she sticks around for a few seasons. I also find Caroline very underrated; she's in the periphery a lot on the show and yet I'm always drawn to her dancing.
And I will go on record yet again and say no one on this current squad even comes close to Kashara in terms of pure electricity and fun. She belongs at point. Whenever she's dancing on screen I can't take my eyes off her!

Thoughts on this episode:
Malena - so charismatic! She's so easy to root for and she popped tonight. Her personality and look stand out to me.
Of all the rookies, I liked watching Jalyn, Ashlee, and Brennan (!) best. Rachel is so beautiful but a snoooozefest.
I liked that they put some focus on Caroline's makeover because it really did her eyes favors. They didn't focus much on her dancing but I saw her in the periphery occasionally and she looked powerful!
Dayton and Victoria - everyone hates on VK around here but I thought she came across as so fun, albeit a little unpolished and naive. I was annoyed by how she cut Kelli off in the office, but this girl is a fresh 18 and has been around these women forever. I think we're so used to seeing girls petrified and overly proper in the office and that made Victoria's actions come across as even more young and seemingly unprepared for the environment she's in. But she seems funny and playful and I don't think it's a coincidence that they recommended she meet with Kashara. Dayton also seems really young in her interactions, and unfortunately, being late and "unenthusiastic" doesn't often do you favors in training camp. I dont dislike her, but Victoria at least brings energy and excitement.
I wanted more from Courtney Cook's segment even though I was SO EXCITED to see her on.
Nicole seemed cold and Jacie seemed contrastingly warm in the alum segments.
Tons of dancing this episode! And I thought the producers have been choosing really good background music this season. It's been noticeably more exciting to me this season than the past few.
Don't really care too much for Jay's segments. The only good one was a few seasons back with TCC Taylor and her cinnamon rolls and Cheetos. I'm betting Hannah or Jalyn come out on top for rookies in the fitness challenges.
Edit to add (maybe a stretch): does anyone else here watch Survivor? Jalyn sounds exactly like the winner of Kaoh Rong, Michele. Jersey girls!

I absolutely LOVE this shot of Yuko in the red bikini! (You have to scroll through the slideshow) She looks amazing.
It's true! I really like the picture of Lexie in this album as well; love her suit. And everyone's said it already, but shame on the photographers and Kelli for the poor choice of Savannah shots. She was so cute in the photos they took back at the Star when they were trying on suits.

...Am I missing something here? Because to me she looks genuinely amazing in both of these. She's a beautiful girl. And the curls seem to be unpopular around here but I love them; they really make her stand out.

Man, I don't know how anyone can watch the videos above and say Kashara doesn't deserve to be point. That girl has more pop and sparkle and power to her dancing than anyone else on this squad by far; the only one who came close for me was Khalyn. I love Maddie but Khalyn would have looked amazing in the triangle with Lacey and Kash. Gina is super talented but even her dancing seems "fake" to me like her personality. I've read here she's nice in person but it just does not translate well through the show. Rookie Rachel is stunning in these videos as well.
Hot take: Lacey is a blender. Beautiful and talented, but a blender.

I saw a lot of cameos of Alexandra tonight - the dark-haired girl they featured a bit last season who was a teacher. I believe she was cut at finals last year. She definitely has the look and I remember enjoying her solo, but K&J were spot on when they said she lost power on the field and didn't project. They didn't put any emphasis on her presence at all this year, and with the amount of talent they had coming through I can see how she was lost in the shuffle. I feel for her; I think she came across as genuine and seemed to work very hard.

She undoubtedly looks great, but am I the only one who misses her old nose? It was unique and gave her face character.
