Man, you can tell Kashara enjoyed her final year and is ready to lovingly give the finger and head off into the sunset. She looks like a brick wall and is about to bust all the seems on that uniform
Where are you seeing this? The only one I saw of Kash was from well above the waist up?

Thank you for leading me into HATER part 2 . . . the rise of Kashara.
I've said this before, Kash didn't get better, everyone else got worse. (Rookies don't count because they are in the back.)
I will acknowledge that she is the best of the upper vets (3+ yrs) THIS year. I think Kelli may be better at times. She looks so much better now because Jenna, Cersten, Holly, Erica, Robin, and Maggie aren't there to consistently outdance her.
NO ONE was on here last year talking about "her pop" or "sass", because Jenna was right off to her side. That may be why Maddie is in the triangle, and not Gina. It really is unappealing to the eye, when the point is being outdanced by someone next to them (the comparison is much easier to make). I think they learned from last year.
Kash's TV personality translates very well on air. She seems fun, poised, thoughtful, energetic, etc., etc. etc. This is not about her being nice, it's about her dance performance.
The thought that Kash is the best point ever is laughable. Rolling on the floor, laughable.
Part 3 will be Rachel.
Good to see you back, Hypeman! However, I have to beg to differ on the bolded point. I was talking about her pop and sass! While I absolutely agree with her "unifying effect", I still think she made it because she is a great dancer. TBS, I see the show and the vids posted here. I have never seen them in person (bucket list).

I really like Hannah's hair a darker shade of red!

Erin!!! Wow! She left TC last year as a not-so-attractive, hot mess who couldn't stay on her feet. Not only did she come back KILLING it dance-wise, she learned how to get the look! She looks amazing here. Erin, are you listening? Girl, you worked hard for this PUHLEEZE plan on staying a long time! Daphne is jacked up too, but she just doesn't have the bone structure and face shape to compare with Erin (but I still think Daphne is DCC pretty). Hannah still needs some help - she's not hopeless, but I think she needs some height and volume in that hair and some help with makeup. I'd love to see her really get the look because she is a good dancer (with a little too much robotic thing going on) who seems charming.

Agree! That's exactly what I mean by her exhibiting so much joie de vivre. Plus I love how genuine she comes across and never forced.
I understand what everyone is saying about Bridget being too new to get point, but man, the pickins are slim if Lexie and Lauren retire!

Do ya'll ever play the game "Identify the Poster"? I like to read posts and try to identify the poster. It's not always easy! BTW, anyone know where Big Sky Girl, Hypeman and even LaurenBrook have gone? Seems like some folks that used to post a lot have disappeared :(.

Neither have I. If @DanceChick is still around, I fear she is going to yell at me!
I can't watch A Christmas Story, I used to watch it non-stop on the TBS Christmas marathons & I think I severely burned myself out on it...I roll my eyes every time I see a leg lamp (bah humbug!). I recently rewatched Christmas with the Kranks (I saw it at the movies way back), that has enough of a mixture of humor & sap to make me happy.
I was another one that yelled at you. GO SEE MEAN GIRLS!!!! It's so fetch!

Does anyone know, of the second years, who is closest to the front of the triangle other than Gina who is on the 3rd row? Going based off of power I think point would go to Gina and second after that Lexie and Heather. I think Maddie will stay in the triangle but not be point as she would be out shined.
I exactly agree......
-
It seems like every day someone posts that Gina will be point. Then a large number chime in agreeing that she probably will be but also saying that they don't want her. That's something we should do a poll about! (And if I wasn't at work, I would try to figure out how to do it). Maybe if someone like Lauren, Lexie or Kelli won the poll and they heard about it, we could stop them from retiring!

Between these hoodies and the outfits with the weird cutouts, I think they should stick with Rebel.
Yeah, those are awful. They make even slim girls look fat!

I wasn’t criticizing Kashara..... so no need to tell me to give her a break. I was simply saying that the poster who posted that perhaps some of the support was financial had a valid suggestion. Quite frankly, I’m one of the most vocal supporters of Kashara on these boards.
Same for me. It wasn't an insult to Kash AT ALL. I'm a fan. What I said was that since she didn't seem on board with her own retirement that was ONE of the possible explanations. I also said that VK was ANOTHER possible explanation. I have real life experiences that involve people leaving an elite team because of another toxic team member, so I think that is definitely ONE possibility. Yes, she may have gotten along with VK face to face because as one poster said, Kash can get along with anyone. But observing the VK effect on the rest of the team and Kelly's complete change and lack of leadership could have been enough to say "four's enough".

This was my fav costume of the girls, Savanah dressed up as Kelli and Molly as Judy.
Is Savannah wearing Kelli's actual dress? She wore that dress recently!

I recently re-watched the last few seasons and on last season (I think - they all run together), Kashara was talking about how appreciative of what her parents had done for her to allow her to chase that dream. I suspect that meant financial support. As a mom supporting a college senior, I can't wait for him to be done so I don't have to pay for his life anymore. So my takeaway from that was that perhaps she felt she'd been enough of a drain on her parents' resources since I can't imagine being a DCC and barre instructor is going to allow for self-support anymore than being a full-time college student playing music gigs does.
Oh @NOWHAMMIES, I agree totally. I mentioned earlier that I thought her parents might be telling her it's time to get a big girl job and that's why! I am in the same situation. When he FINALLY gets that college degree, this mom's buying a new car!!!!!!!!!

I was the one who mentioned KaShara was leaving, anticipating VK's return. I was guessing and being silly or maybe stupid, in hindsight. Please all remember, I know nothing in regards to what these gals motivations are. It’s all a guessing game.
I don't recall you stating it as a fact. However, I think you just theorized the same thing many were theorizing. I've seen this type of thing happen in real life many times, so my mind went there too.

Why are we talking about belly buttons? What did I miss? And while we are having the belly button confessionals, I have to say (and I have been reluctant to say), I hope Gina doesn't make point because I don't like her belly button.
I should have ducked at the end of this comment! Yes, I know it is just a small part of her look, that's why I never brought it up until someone else did. For those of us in this world with belly button issues, it's just kind of a big deal. FWIW, I have very deep seated belly button issues :). I also think hers is so eye-catching because she has an awesome, flat, beautiful belly that I would KILL for!!!

Coming out of lurkdom to comment on this.
I know Kashara as I grew up in the same small town as her. I’m several years older so not best friends, but good acquaintances.
She is a very kind and genuine person. Even someone not biased should note that by all the peer-chosen awards she receives. She just has one of those magnetic personalities without even trying and makes everyone feel special. Her saying what she did about VK said a TON because if someone can’t get along with kashara there’s a problem!
Anyway, about her exit.
1. I thought her interview was terribly edited. I’m sure many of you have seen other interviews with her to know she’s usually better spoken. I did think it came off somewhat strange.
2. She has said from the very beginning that 4 years was a good amount of time. Senior year and all that. She is in no way being pushed out. (If she was on the bubble, barely making it, being forced out...she would not have been made point for the second year in a row). Yes, she was emotional about it. I have been emotional about transitions even though it’s my choice. She will miss the other girls and many things about it. At the same time she is very mature and realizes that it’s a perfect time to move on to her “real life.”
I was one who never thought the team was pushing her out - no way would they push out a seasoned, respected vet when the ranks of multi-year girls is going to be slim at best. The girl is charismatic and a true leader, and from what we've seen not involved in troublesome behavior. I wondered if her parents might be giving her some financial support, and they think four years is enough and it is's time to get a big girl job. I love what you said about everyone being able to get along with Kash. That's the read I've always gotten on her, too. I could see that VK might be the one that couldn't. That girl just had NO respect of vets or management. When someone tries to shake up the historical order like that, it shakes the whole organization. Sometimes that's a good thing! This time, not so much. My son played on a team or two with one of those cancer in the dugout people. It ruined it for the whole team. I feel like that is what VK did. So, I don't find it unbelievable that she might have had enough with the VK show.

Awww. That was nice. Did Rookie Rachel get her hair cut? Or was it all just out of the picture? Rookie Madeline practiced her sexy "look down, look up" camera face. My favorite in the montage was Erin, she definitely looked like all that.

Since it is true confession time, if I had an outie belly button I would have to get it inny-ed.

Thanks for ya'lls comments. Very impressive!
P.S. I had to look up the grammar: "But y'all is not an apostrophe-taking indefinite pronoun; it is a personal pronoun, and hence the possessive does not get an apostrophe: y’alls."
It's against the law to use y'all and hence in the same sentence. :)

Did any one but me think that Lacey's speech was a subtle message to VK? I don't remember the exact wording, but something like my advise to TCCs is to listen to all of the DCCs.

Not a huge Charlotte fan, but loved the hair and outfit! (but, guhurl, eat a burger)
No one has commented about Kash's weirdness in her clip. She almost acted like she didn't want to retire, but was being forced to? Was I imaging that?
While I don't hate VK, I certainly hate how she usurped the season. But I think it's going to be like childbirth, we'll forget how horrible it was now that it is done, and we will look forward to our new baby (next season).
I think Ashlee is a future point. She was an amazing performer by the end.
Malena, I think, is just unbalanced. She went from 0 to batshit crazy in the early episode when she admitted that she never performed as a NYJ. Then that cut. I think she is well-spoken, well-dressed, football knowledgeable and a head job. Many of you have suggested professional help, and I agree. She is a great dancer, but she will never be able to deliver what the DCC needs unless she fixes that problem.
