JenK’s last year on the squad, she looked like she had gained weight. Going off memory here, but the scene where the vets are learning the audition piece, I remember noticing it. There was an angle where you can only see her leg or torso and I rewound/fastforwarded to figure out who it was. That shot made her look awful. Then the following year when she filled in consistently as an all star, she was certainly bigger than the other girls.

But for those years, they knew either would would be competent and they just needed to pick one. This year they may not be confident in either one alone. After watching recent videos I’m team Caroline for point all the way. If not a second year, then heather or Gina.

Agreed. I find it obnoxious that these underweight, size 000, BMI 14 women had to dance to that song. It’s not like Queen only has one recognizable hit song

Totally agree. Jinelle was definitely more dcc glam than Maddie and just as good in the dcc style

And jacie that year. I don’t think anyone guessed holly a.

I agree with you theoretically that if they made the team, by definition they should have the look. However, my personal opinion is that is exactly why Allie and little heather were cut. The look was good enough the year they made the team, but not the following year.

She also said something similar to Courtney who got my fit foods with the vets who said something like I haven’t weighed that since high school

I will say I think it’s one of the better videos of VK, but the comparison.... wow! It doesn’t even look like the same dance. VK reminds me of Caila when she was cut for “dancing” heavy

People who don’t follow the show may not be as familiar with the groups and first and second leader nomenclature. Captain may seem less confusing. Though, “I was a leader for three years” would have been clear without being misleading.

Is anyone else expecting to see the “vet move” in VK’s solo at finals?

I was completely agreeing with you, then I got to the MR part and thought we were going in different directions. Then I hit the “I kid” and realized you just might be my new best friend. Agree on it all!

Though I’m pretty sure the right answer in DCC land is “If I make dcc, I’ll wait to try out for SYTYCD another year”

Besides my obvious vote (did you see him rock solos with Jackie Bob?), based purely on watching videos of the DCC dancing and none of the leadership/rulebreaking/sorority/stepping up crap, I think Gina is the best choice. I don’t think Maddie has the look to be where she is in the triangle. And definitely no farther forward. I also hope she retires this year, rather than either become point or get “demoted”. But my opinion is worth exactly what y’all are paying me for it...

She would definitely be a “project” if she made it to training camp. No sliding under the radar for her......

Oh no! Did @LaurenBrook leave?? Phew, at least she still has her account! As a very jaded person, I always appreciate her ability to stay positive 99.99% of the time. (But I love the sass and sarcasm from plenty of other posters too, so please keep that coming as well!!!)
