It makes me think that the organization REALLY wanted to work the identical twin angle.

This sounds like a reasonable theory to me!

Oops! Thanks for the correction @EricaShadows and @MrsEVH. I have no clue how that didn't enter my brain. Can anyone recall if Kim (Meredith's mom) and Judy cheered together? I remember @MrsEVH pointing out that Tina and Shannon (Madeline's mom) were on the 1988 and 1989 squads. I just think the whole legacy thing is so sweet! I love some nostalgia. :-)

@StepKickClunk I thought the same thing and was disappointed that those two decades were lumped together. @cherryblossom YES to fresh music! @ShellyB, you looked amazing, per the usual. Please tell K&J, Charlotte, and all the DCC and Retired Sweethearts that we LOVED seeing them and that we always want more, more, more, lol! Personally, I'd continue to follow the journey of the ladies in whatever capacity that you guys can make available to us. Before the announcement that CMT wasn't renewing the show, I was looking forward to being able to see two legacies on the team at the same time, especially since that hasn't happened before.

I saw a short clip of wedding Thunder, too!

Thanks for finding this. Sophy recovered like a true professional. I can only imagine how devastating and jarring that must have been for her. Right on! The excitement when you open this tab and see so many new replies to read is REAL!

I completely agree. The job seems incredibly challenging in a multitude of ways. If a dancer can hack it and earn her boots year after year, why wouldn't you want that kind of leadership, loyalty, and reliability?

I'm with y'all on Tia. She brought a unique look and I thought she was great. Seems like I remember some posters saying that she was one of the party girls or something like that. Maybe that has something to do with the lack of "Tia appreciation". And yes-STILL gorgeous.

Same! She's an energetic and flawless performer and she seems to be enjoying the life that she's built for herself. I'm a sucker for nostalgia, so I'm already pumped up to see the group of alumni we'll see in TS at her wedding. After six years on the team? So ready for all the videos and she's barely been engaged for 24 hours, lmao! Also, love how involved her coach and teammates are. Such a cute party they threw for Jenna and her fiance.

Before I watched it, I expected it to be way worse based on the comments. 😆 I'd give it a B, especially viewing it under the lens that @UnicornKicksBack offered.

Your assessment totally makes sense. After seeing Tyra and Jensen doing the same piece, it looks way better on Tyra to me.

Wow! Good for Alora Rose and okay, Ashley! Y'all, I love the sultry look of the Ultra Angels.

Totally agree that Tara looks AH-mazing, but the #minusone that she included on the post makes me think that she IS throwing some DCC-shade. To me, the # acknowledges that she didn't include one of her cameos. I love the supportive comment on the post by Stephanie D.

Thanks for the links; I've been meaning to follow her. I'm keeping alllll of my fingers crossed that she tries out one day!

I second that. I like getting fresh information and hearing from women who feel free to share candidly.
