You’re not alone lol. I’m also surprised Lexie was never point considering her placement the past three years but happy she is the PBC.

I’m so happy Gina is one of the points. I do think Lexie should have been the other point but I know they wouldn’t demote Rachel. Lexie also has that pop that I don’t see in Rachel. love Kleine! I wouldn’t be surprised if she got rookie of the year because she does seem to be a great teammate and even Judy acknowledged that. This may be an unpopular opinion but I’m surprised Amber L wasn’t cut. Her look and dancing kind of remind me of Taylor. I think that if Ava didn’t have the social media issues, she should have made the team over Amber.

Who knew Natalie Woods would be the one cheerleader we can all agree on? 😂

Glad I’m not the only one who finds this season to be a little bit of a snooze fest. I know Melissa was picked to be a showmanship mentor because of the other shows she’s been on but she was mediocre back in her day. I’d love to see some of the real powerhouses mentor the girls instead. The house tour with Natalie Woods also didn’t sit well with me. I’d rather hear more about how Kleine prepared for DCC, ask Natalie for advice, etc… or just cut the whole scene from the show would have been fine too😜 I’m glad the show is showing more of the vets than in previous seasons. Favorite rookies are Kaydianna, Tori, Kleine and Ashlinn.

I couldn’t help but feel concerned about Gina. I’m not sure if she has an eating disorder but I can definitely see how being in an environment like DCC could lead to one. Rachel and Caroline are definitely two DCC’s I never considered “fluffy” until these photos.

I don’t see Daphne in this pic.

I wasn’t going to chime in but I’m a POC and I’ve noticed a lot of comments regarding race lately. I disagree that these comments calling attention to the lack of diversity of the team are an attack on white people. Not calling attention to the issue doesn’t resolve race issues. Saying that POC should be accepted only if they’re qualified ignores the fact that year after year, TPTB have taken girls who are definitely not field ready but fit a certain look that they like. I think that some POC may be discouraged from trying out when they know they already may not have the aesthetic that TPTB are looking for and there is a chance that they could be the only POC or one of few on the team.

This was Judy’s reply about the one day audition.

I couldn’t agree more. MRS was a mediocre cheerleader at best. Hannah was a two time show group member. I know DCC has her come back because she’s been on other shows but can we get someone like Michelle Keys or one of the Jennifers to be the showmanship mentor? Also, she kept saying that Hannah was bashing the organization. I haven’t seen any posts that seem to do that. I do wonder if the cut girls regret not doing a one day audition now and if their outcomes would have been different. I would have loved to see the vet audition videos so we could get a better idea of why some vets were ranked so low coming into training camp.

Thoughts on cameos: Tess...yikes! For being world class, how did they think that was a good cameo? I wish they had left Armani’s hair alone. I was surprised Kelli personally wished Armani a happy birthday on IG. Has she ever done that before? Speaking of IG, the amount of Maddie love is kind of shocking. You’d think she’s the only one who can dance/deserves to be point based on the comments.

I agree! I’m just confused as to why Kelli said Brennan has never been a wow dancer this year but kept bringing her back to training camp. Was Lily ever called into the office this training camp before she was cut? I was also really hoping for Gina to be point. Maddie just doesn’t look mature enough to be up there especially when she’s got Lexie and Gina on either side. Also, Rachel W. is beautiful but I don’t find her dancing to be that exciting.

Agreed! Jessica was bland and Alora-Rose had lots of mistakes the first few days. I would have loved to have seen more deliberations about the vet cuts and why those two were kept.

Wow... Brennan is my hero. I was not expecting her say she’s disappointed in the direction the team was going. Seeing Judy’s eyes bug out was worth it. Judy made a comment she thought the next zoom would be worse than Brennan’s and then it was Hannah. I would have loved to have seen their entire conversation. still salty that they cut these girls and kept Alora Rose and Jessica.

Absolutely agree with all of this! They’ve known Hannah for two seasons now and know what she’s capable of. I think some leniency could be given when they know she’s a talented vet, has struggled with mental health issues but still showed up to training camp. IMO, most of the girls seem pick to causes that don’t carry a stigma. Kelli saying she liked her answer during media day seemed disingenuous. If Hannah ever writes a tell-all, I’d be happy to buy it.

Agreed! I think this is the best Brennan has looked. Personally, I thought all of the vets looked good in the dance off. I wish we saw more of Brennan and Hannah during it. I thought it was interesting they used Caroline for comparison and not their beloved Maddie. Kelli and Judy have girls not social distancing and not wearing masks and they’re surprised someone tested positive? 🤔

Does anyone know why Armani wasn’t chosen for show group? Kind of surprised Lexie made show group with only two stickers (according to the board).

So glad she’s speaking out but I hope TPTB don’t punish her for it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a current cheerleader stand up for herself like that. I think it was a huge error on their part to make her solo that is about systemic racism and injustice look bad. also, can the show please stop pretending they were adhering to guidelines? In one scene, you have an assistant telling them only 5 on a stage at a time and then you see the girls talking with each other without masks on🙄

Love Armani! IMO, she’s the best rookie. Jessica is another blonde blender to me. I’m glad she turned it up a little bit. When Kat joked that they should make her point in 3 years, I cringed. She still has to look at others to know what to do😬 Kelcey’s reaction made me laugh. I would love to see more of the veterans dancing and more critiques of the veterans.

I don’t blame Hannah for being concerned or conflicted. I thought it was interesting that TBTP told the girls dancing to take their masks off and told the girls watching to leave them on and acted like they’re taking wearing masks seriously when there were vet vlogs of girls clearly not wearing them and interacting with each other. Also, did the vets quarantine prior to entering the bubble?

Kat reminds me of Chelsea a little bit. Just over the top and doesn’t seem genuine. Based on her solo last year, I’m still shocked she made it to TC. It was Tinman Vivian level bad. based on last night’s episode I can see why Meredith got cut. I thought it was interesting Kelli made a remark that Kat and Meredith were the last two to make it last year when it was Meredith and Lily who were called in. Kat was horrible last night but they kept her over Hannah and Brennan who are both solid dancers? Someone make it make sense. Also, it bugged me that Kelli said Hannah looked pale and unhappy. Hannah’s skin tone hasn’t changed since her rookie year so that should be a surprise and also I don’t think you need a big cheesy grin when you’re just standing around. I thought Lily and Sheridan actually looked good last night. I wish TBTP would address the board and rankings coming into camp.

Ooh everyone is entitled to their opinion but as a WOC, this comes off as that the WOC on the team stole a white woman’s spot. From what I’ve seen of the WOC TCCs this year, they are extremely talented and worthy of wearing the boots. I’ve seen comments before that someone like Yuko shouldn’t have made the team but Let’s not forget that the TBTP have taken tons of mediocre white girls (Breelan, Ashley P, Jordan C, Morgan, Kaitlyn, etc...)

My thoughts: I probably would have cut Alora-Rose but I’m sure Kelli wants to be able to brag that DCC is such a dream that even a Rockette wants to join. Claire W looked heavy last night. I’m kind of surprised no one has had a weight talk yet. Armani is a standout to me. She just always looks like she’s having fun when she dances. I laughed when Shannon told Kelli and Judy that DCC wasn’t her initial plan. If she auditions again, Kelli will probably hold it against her. What was going on with the veteran’s outfits? Rachel W had a cute, matching outfit but Brennan and Lisa?!?! You know you’re being filmed and I thought TPTB said you have to be camera ready. Lisa’s jeans were hideous. I wish we had gotten to see more of the vets this episode. The show seems to always ask the girls on the bubble (Lily, Meredith) about what it’s like coming back as a vet.

I agree with you! It doesn’t matter if you have a “big” wedding or not because COVID doesn’t care. It only takes one person to spread it. Personally, I would have tried to postpone my big day because I wouldn’t want to risk being the host of a super spreader event. She had people from all over the country and no masks interacting🤦🏻‍♀️

I get that this is a tough year for brides but it’s been a tough year for everyone. I don’t think this will be gone by then either. I also hope that she’s at least smart about having a wedding and people wear masks and try to social distance unlike what I saw in pictures from Veronica’s wedding. Personally, I wouldn’t be holding a large event right now. I wouldn’t want to carry the burden of my wedding being a potential super spreader event.

At first, I thought it was ballsy than I thought it was kind of hypocritical of her. There were videos when they did the bubble with girls pulling down their masks to talk or that game day bus video with girls clearly not wearing their masks.
