I learned only one thing from tonight's episode, and that was, Evan Miller needs to be point. Get that man fitted for a uniform...

Agreed. BORING!! And still no panel interviews. How do we know who is going to be a great ambassador for the team versus the next 50 yard line Kelsey or President O'Biden??? And I still feel no connection to last years rookies or this years. I'm already becoming very tempted to entertain other options for my Friday nights...

Last observation for my reviewing of last night's episode 1. 1) There were no panel interviews. I suspect (hoping) we will see them in episode 2? 2) I miss Jay in the group of judges. I know he has not been featured much over the last several seasons but it appears he's totally gone now. I wonder if the addition of "Cowboy Fit" at the STAR in Frisco basically ended the need for his services. That would be a shame as he was as much a fixture as Phil.

Another cutie patootie rookie TCC from last nights episode 1. KayDianna, and she is definitely more striking in her natural curls than when she straightens it IMO.

Just finished re-watching the snippets of Kelceys solo from last nights episode 1. It was a much sexier routine than she has been known for in her previous solos. In fact it was a very familiar routine...it actually appeared to be the very same sexy routine Amanda did in her finals solo of her rookie year in season 14. I wonder if the girls sometimes swap choreography?

Just how cute is Ashlinn? Answer? VERY!!!

Rachel W. compared to TCC from last nights episode 1. IMO still top 5 in looks and figure and strong dancer. Not the best, but still strong.

Indeed she does. I believe she would be the prettiest legacy to date.

The new and improved Madeline S. from episode 1.

The new and improved Melissa S. from episode 1.

Thank you HitItHarder!!!

I was aware of that and my comment was relating to the fact that she seems more suited toward the Rockettes than for cheerleading. She appears to have the skills for most anything dance related however...

Just watched the season 16 premiere episode. Here are my off the cuff comments of the things that made some impressions in my first viewing. I'm sure I'll have some more when I get to review the episode a few more times to see details I missed. 1) Those who have been commenting over the summer about Gina's physique. I politely disagree with your assessment. She looked absolutely great! She appears to have toned her body to perfection and she possesses the most athletic and fit body on the team bar none. I saw no indications of her abusing her body or of any eating disorder. She's SOLID!!! 2) Kat's wig hairline looked worse than it ever has before. 3) Rachel W. still has it, in looks and in figure. Of all 51 candidates she was IMO top four in both looks and figure and her dancing, though not the best I saw tonight, is still strong. 4) Claire...WOW!! What a dancer! 5) Chandi's solo seemed totally different than what I remember previously. The style seemed more outgoing and less demure. I liked it and it appears she's come out of her somewhat perceived shyness. 6) Ashlinn. Gorgeous! 7) Sad to see Daphne's dilemma. She didn't look good tonight at all in dance or physique compared to her previous seasons. I know it's all about the injury and I too applaud her devotion and commitment but she needs time to properly and fully heal. 8) Madeline S. looks more mature, more beautiful and a much stronger dancer than from 2 years ago. Happy to see that. 9) I'll miss Maddie. She was a superstar, cute as a bug and an incredibly sweet and sincere person. 10) Victoria. Reason still a mystery... 11) Kleine from Kentucky...SPUNKY!!! 12) Tori. Looking and dancing better than last year. 13) Alora Rose. I've never seen such a tall dancer with such beautiful long lines and such great control of her long legs and arms. On top of that she's very pretty and honestly looks like a Rockette more so than a cheerleader. 14) Kelli appears to have her normal amount of facial botox but surprisingly it appears as though Judy is using more this year.
