All rookies are returning, the only ones who retired were Kashara, Lacey, Kelli, Yuko, Jessika, Tasha and Kahylan. There weren't very many pictures of Maddie, Madeline, Alanna, Jalyn and Amber. You could catch them in the background or here or there but that is it. Also no Lauren - which could mean she opted out again this year.

Yeah I was totally thinking the same thing

Gina posted this morning, swimsuit fitting today.

The Buccaneers Cheerleaders also have their first guy on the squad. It does seem like all the squads are embracing it. If they aren't actually selected there are some that are making it all the way to finals. I don't see Kelli and Charlotte ever letting it happen. Especially with the DCRB as an option. But dang if he isn't more talented than some of the girls already on the squad, and is so supportive. I wish he could get a true chance to make it

You beat me to it!! Was just coming to post this. But is that Kelli up there or Kashara? And is that Yuko on the end?

My guess is both are retiring. Especially with Yuko engaged, that's how I take it.

I think with the original virals that got the virus at PN they weren't bit, but had an engineered strain injected to try to keep them from turning. Fanning turned quicker than the others and he was actually bit, but the timing is still off as it took longer for him to turn than some of the others infected at the compound and when Winston was loose. They also need to explain a bit more about Richards/Babcock and how she was able to fix him but not turn him. It was almost like Fanning did with the janitor but that was all mind control with him. Richard's was dying so he had to have some help from her blood but how did she keep him from turning? From what I remember Lila specifically talked about her blood having the cure, so I didn't think she took the last vial with her but left it with Brad. So I do think that is what Amy gave Brad. You see the same case it was in during that scene. I am thinking that we will see Brad again for sure, possibly Lila and Lear. Lacey in flashbacks too. I'm probably going to pick up the books eventually but it annoys me when shows jump the shark totally and start rewriting everything so I may wait until I know it is a bit more true to the source material if it gets renewed. I normally don't to vampire shows but this one sucked me in.

Amber posted "T minus 40 days till calendar shoot" on her Instagram today. So I'm guessing that's when it is

When is calendar trip? I know it is different than last year, but it is still before tryouts right? I'm guessing that's when we will get confirmation who is leaving and who is staying

She also wasn't at practice tonight, or at least I couldn't pick her out in the insta stories. I'm wondering if she is having some health issue.

In Jenn's class Road to DCC girl was there too in the back.

He is soooo good, and if I remember correctly has danced some with the Mavericks dancers. But sadly I don't see him making DCC. He seems like such a sweet guy and was cheering all the girls on during auditions with Stephanie DW.

I wore the shoulder pads with fringe back in my winter guard days in high school in the 90's. It is one look that shouldn't come back. Not a fan. But I do like the dress except for that. It does give a very ice skating vibe though.

She definitely stands out more as a brunette. She reminds me a lot of the actress Amanda Bynes

Kelly Parazzo's insta account is private, so that maybe the one that isn't showing up. It doesn't show up on mine either. So you may need to screenshot and post that @sleepyjean since you follow her. Who is teaching the Friday prep classes, I think those are the ones Road to DCC girl said she was going to.

Kelli is fast becoming one of my favorites. She takes incredible care of herself, is fun to watch dance and just seems like a fun supportive person to be around. I think she is one of the oldest on the squad but I think that gives her a maturity that is so beneficial and needed. Her insta with very little make up she looked amazing with out it. She genuinely seems to love the interactions with the kids and young girls at camp too.

Is Yuko injured again? Jinelle is dancing today again. I tried to pick out who was not there when they came off the field but couldn't tell.

Here's the squad photo that someone posted in the Facebook group I'm in (Hi Tracy if you are in here!! Thanks for sharing!!) It's not tilted and the girls are easier to pick out.

I've been missing them as well. I appreciated the fact he/she really cared about the girls and gave insight while still being careful not to be harsh about the things they posted. Regarding the team photo - I noticed Christina was kind of off with the rookies more than any other vet too. It does seem a little off with Lacey and Alexis posed sitting and then just Tess poses the opposite direction. The OCD in me thi is there should be either another girl by Tess or Alexis should be more towards the center with Lacey/Tess (or whatever girl is in that position) bracketing them. Hope that makes sense! Other than that I think it looks off just because the picture is slanted because of the way it was posted.

Kelli Q has the team photo in her insta story.

I totally agree she is not ready, should have been cut before she was. I just was expecting from what the insiders posted that when the lie came out it was her cut night. So what else is there? Did she kick Kelli's puppy? Steal her hair piece and wear it as a toupee?

So I haven't seen the episode yet, but a couple of thoughts from what you guys posted. If this week is the confrontation about the BIG lie that got her cut - well she's not cut yet. So what happened between now (show time) and her cut after Tara. She did do cameos (the sneak peak that is posted on YouTube shows her). So did more come out? Did she still not follow through and tried to lie again? If it was the lie and confrontation with Jinelle that got her cut, then how did she manage to stay for longer. Also - sneak peak that was posted. You can see VK in uniform in it. Also, they showed some vets having issues at practice I'm assuming setting up Tara's cut. No clue if this is what was shown at the end of the episode for "Next week on Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Making the Team".

Omg I love Marshall!!! Seriously, kick off Melissa the Mentor and let him have the gig.

I think the half time show was all of the girls just they were out on the field in different places. The clip from the insta story they have other people with them dancing - maybe DCRB too? - and the group of girls looks bigger.

Ok, someone higher up must hate Hannah. That picture is terrible!!!
