Not sure there is any need to filter it. Take a look at the lady to the right of Rachel. She is showing more ribs than Gina. It's a natural image when you have lean dancers body extended with hands above head which elongated the body and shows the ribs.

I think Gina discovered a new self when she tore her ACL in November 2019. After surgery she was almost incapable of walking and over the following months she showed true character and determination to get herself ready for 2020 auditions. It speaks volumes that her 2020 solo was another "bomb" performance and not without reason her team mates voted her Veteran Of The Year. I think that process has given her a leaner look but I feel certain it is healthy and what she is happy with. She is a dedicated dancer and knows her own body and what it is capable off. If she was undernourished or anorexic she would not be capable of the bomb performances we see from her. Concerns expressed are understandable but I think we have to give her credit as a dancer athlete and veteran that she knows what she is doing.

To clarify, I would like to say that I think all these ladies are beautiful and they are all great dancers but within the group there are a few that stand out. Rachel is certainly stunning but so is Dani. Gina is a stunning dancer and her solos are always referred to as "bomb". Other stand out dancers include Caroline (much overlooked) and Mackenzie. I would not want to praise one at the cost of another but I think Gina is the total package, a strong point, stunning dance and beautiful Italian features. A strong woman who has come back to "rise up" from a torn ACL in her third year to be a five year veteran and last year's veteran of the year.

And another

I wouldn't say Gina is all that ugly either, in fact the woman is a real looker and a stunning dancer. If you are prepared to just settle for looks at the point of the triangle then Rachael it is!

Really sorry if it is Lisa. Kelli will be cursing as she will have lost her "finally we have a cheerleader who speaks fluent Spanish". Don't know enough about that type of injury to understand the recovery period required. Hope she comes back. That is a come back I would prefer to others I could think of.

What confirmation do we have that Alora Rose has retired/resigned other than rumour. Has she confirmed it. I doubt she could contractually until after training camp. Is this more mind games?

It's sad when any of these ladies are forced to step down due to injury. They are all living their dreams. If they resign for whatever reason that is sad also but they at least had some choice. I hope Daphne and, if the rumours are true, Ellie are able to recover and return. Gina tore her ACL in November '19 and made a powerful recovery. "Rise Up"
