Loving the Shelley showing, too. I hope it isn't just because Dayton is a TCC. I want it to continue! OTOH, not a fan of Charlotte's increased presence. It REALLY takes away from Kelli and Judy. It just screams micro management and gimme some screen time, too. I actually have professional respect for Charlotte, but she needs to let K&J do their jobs.

Yeah, the whole Jay marching in like he's still in the military, insisting on running around in camo and combat boots bit is as dated as Kelli's and Tina's hair in their uniform fitting pics. It's tired, it's been done, the "exercise" challenges are as scientifically valid as the carbonation/cellulite comments. Why did CMT revive it? I don't get it. The show has evolved in so many positive ways (where are they now? more focus on vets, etc.), why are they bringing back the ridiculous?

I have such a girl crush on Malena. She just looks like she would have so much class. And, finally, a picture of Charlotte with a charming look on her face.

Is she better now? I'd love to know. But they never show her!

I bought my kid a 2001 in 2014 to drive back and forth to college. He was thankful and thrilled. It broke down a lot, and he sometimes had to drive late at night. So we replaced it with a stripped down new car for the same price as a more dependable older car. He was again thankful and thrilled. ANNNNNDDD...the insurance went down because of more safety features. The total cost of ownership also went down. We aren't rich, but my son drives a 2016 vehicle. I drive a 2011. True Story.

@sATL if you are in ATL, we could do our own senior class! I promise I will make you look good! I am old, overweight and have never had a dance lesson!

Love it if Christina wasn't pulling on her suit.

My 23 yo son used to love Kashara (not as much as Molly!), but after this episode, he told me he couldn't like her anymore because she "dropped the O bomb" (oil). Yes, my son was born and raised right here in ATL, but he can't stand the uber southern-isms. He probably would have come unglued if she had also "dropped the T bomb" (tire pronounced tar). I, OTOH, find it delightful!

I have certainly gotten some of our famous "twins" confused, but Molly and Rachel have never been a problem for me. Molly has those to-die for eyes and Rachel holds her mouth in a very unique way. I think they are both gorgeous. Now Lindsey and Kash.......

Darling Husband

I'm kind of thinking the kickoff meeting will include a talk on timeliness. Perhaps they will even post definitions........

I agree that none of these girls are too unattractive to be in the triangle. They are all gorgeous, just in different ways. My 23yo son thinks Maddie is the cutest on the team (but he's warming up to tall Taylor, too). I just still can't believe they cut Lindsey (I think, the Kash twin?). Truly gorgeous. I am sure we will see that she has no memory or awful kicks, but...... Dear Lindsey, Whatever was wrong, fix it dear. Come back next year!!! With Kash gone, you may make it and then make it all the way to point quickly! Love, your fan, Opine

I was looking at them going....wait, I've seen this one and that one in those dresses and haven't we already talked about the horrors of Christina's outfit? Oh yeah (slaps forehead) that's what happens when you read the spoilers! Some new/redundant thoughts.... 1. I will never get over Brenda's nasty comments re Kat's dress. So every time I look at the girls dressed up, I get mad again. They all look great! However, these are not interview clothes or first day of work clothes in general. Some are fine, but a good percent scream clubbin'. 2. How did I miss Lacey's reflecto bikini top? Oh my, as if my DH doesn't drool over her enough. I better prepare some smelling salts for tonights episode! 3. I can't wait!!! I can't watch it until tomorrow night, so I will miss y'all tomorrow!

It's just like the LSU girl last year.....all positive comments, then poof! Gone. That's the kind of editing stuff by CMT that hacks me off. Even if you have to clean it up and re-shoot it, give us some idea. If LSU girl was cut because (making this up, no one quote me!!!) Cersten and Erica trashed her, they could just have a scene between C/K in the locker room, saying something generic like "her dancing may be great, but some of her references weren't". I get that they might not want to blame another dancer on camera. With Sara, they did say she lost her power on the field., but then they showed a clip where she looked awesome!

Just ask any 20-25 yo for their copy....

@Scorpio1031 and you need to watch it!!!!! Calling VK "fetch" and the Kalteen bar references are so perfect for all of us DCC fans!

Has there ever been a team that had guys use poms? Also, agreed on DCC boots. That cut on the front elongates the leg while these straight across the top gogo boots so many wear has the opposite effect.

I actually don't recall anyone saying Jaylyn wasn't pretty. Many people (including me!) didn't like the maroon (violet) hair. She's a beautiful girl. I hesitate to even say this but I think the least HD ready look is the Hannah. Of course, Brennan's issues have been discussed at length, but I will say I teared up when I saw her in the uniform.

Yes!!! Just a big old, lovable goof without a lick of sense!

I liked this, but I had to quote you too because that is the best thing ever! We're baseball people in the Opine household, and we really get a kick out of the songs the organist picks to play when a player walks up. It's so fun to try to get the connection!

I don't hate VK, but I hate so much about the situation! After 3 episodes, we haven't seen Caroline, Ashlee or (where the heck is!!) Erin and others AT ALL. Why? Because it has truly been the VK show. I mean, come on! Charlotte, Kelli, CMT...you didn't give us a chance to even like VK by just shoving her down our throats. Charlotte seems to be getting a lot more camera time. Not a fan of her role. Yes, she is a Jones and Kelli's boss, but get the heck out of here woman. Let Kelli do her job and quit micromanaging! Charlotte is just so UNGRACIOUS. We all know she has 100% of the power. Quit being so snarky. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE. When you have all the power, smile and graciously share your opinion. It started before this season, obviously. Remember, the "really?" comment she said in such a condescending way last year when someone disagreed with her? Just. don't. go. there. And Brenda? You all know I am not a fan. But I do wonder if she is sick based on here presentation. And, if she is sick, she might be more likely to be emotional about things that aren't emotional. However, if that isn't the case (and I hope it isn't), I think she just read the book "How to Kiss Charlotte and Kelli's Butt". Thankfully, Scott Padgett didn't get a copy! #TeamScott

Me too, please!

Hahahahaha! You beat me to it! We need a separate thread to all write thank you notes to him! He's one guy who I hope was a google alert on his name.

But it is the exact same haircut they all have!

I don't love the 3 episode approach for the current season, however, I do love it when we step back in time. To me, it really helps link the seasons together. We may fall in love with someone this season that we notice for the first time, then we back up and watch earlier episodes, and there they are! I love that!
