Is Courtney reauditioning? I hope Kyndall makes it this year! What about Selina who got cut at the very end of last season? They never showed her until the very end. Don't know anything about her at all. Anyone else from last year? I doubt Taylor is coming back. Kaleigh?

I liked Kelsey and would root for her to make it but I do not think she received any hard or tricky questions. Maybe if she hadn't had the really bad 50 yard line answer the year before, she might have been forgiven for the GM trip up but I think the pattern of bad responses doomed her. I wonder if they would even give her a third chance at interviewing. It's too bad because she didn't seem dumb in her talking heads like some other ditzy girls have.

I think that if they cared about this, they would have cut her right away. I think it had to be something else or a collection of things (of which the post could have been one).

I am not shocked that she was cut so soon because I thought her finals video that was posted for the fan vote was not very good. I thought she looked really awkward in her dance style. I guess this is the first time the fan vote has not really worked out. Vivian was certainly a contender and almost made the team last year and then Loren made it. I guess what would be most interesting is if the fan vote was not going to be included in training camp but won and then made the team! I think they said that Vivian and Loren would have been invited anyway.

What is this yellow rose article???

Why do Meghan and Jim even live in Orange County? If his work in St. Louis and she is from there, what is the draw of Orange County? Is that where his kids are located?

Aww, I like the way they revealed the leaders with their pictures on the wall!! That's a cute idea! Great selections for all of the leaders! Being a DCC sure has been a ride for Danielle! From her injury and almost getting cut to her BFF getting cut and now being the cover girl and a 2nd leader - wow! What an emotional trip!

Not a fan of the "inspiration" words posted all over the rehearsal studio.

My guesses for group leaders are Holly, Angela, Jacie, and Kelsey with 2nds Jenn K, Jenna...then I'm not sure about the other 2 2nds...could be anyone! Probably Kinzie?

I know nothing about child support issues so forgive me if this is ignorant but I tend to agree with this. Is Kensie really lacking anything at this point? Is Thomas helping with the nanny or other childcare (I think he should be)? I would think that in the future, Thomas would pay for her schooling and other necessities. Why does Kathryn deserve more money from Thomas? They were never married. It's not like she is not of able mind and body to get a job. Should she never have to work a day in her life (as Cameran predicted) because she had a kid with Thomas? This is not to say that Thomas isn't a total ASS because he definitely is!!!! This is not meant to be a defense of Thomas!!

Disturbing. Kensie is doomed to have relationship issues with these two as an example.

Erica's hair looks AWESOME this year!! LOL! https://twitter.com/DCC_Erica/status/605567469894262785/photo/1 I need to get someone to do that to my hair!!

I agree - she is gorgeous and that pic is just really weird. It does look like Melissa k! I would have voted for Kinzie 1 but I thought her face looked too photoshopped also! I would vote for Jessica, Danielle, and Jacie!!

I think this is probably true. They say he was so obnoxious but they don't say or show how he was. If he had a drug problem, that doesn't mean they are justified in nagging him or alluding to this problem. If Craig comes back to Charleston, I think he should find some new friends.

Kathryn is totally failing at her gold-digging!!! Girl, you need to hide your crazy until Thomas marries you!! I don't get Shep and Cameran's relationship with Craig. What did Craig do that so bad/obnoxious/life-ruining?? He didn’t take his bar exam for a year so he could participate in this show? Ok, that may not be the most prudent decision but it’s not career-ending and it doesn’t affect them. They kept saying they were coming from a place of love but I think they were just having fun belittling him. The only thing I saw Craig do that could be life-ruining was say that he and Kathryn should have been together. Hopefully, he see her cray-cray on this show and never follows through on that one! I see nothing wrong with Cam not being ready for a baby. Landon’s mom seemed pretty nice and obviously cares about her a lot but I could also see a bit of what Landon was mentioning like her mom pushing her to open a real store or be more prepare for the bad weather, etc… she certainly doesn’t seem awful or anything but I can see how it’s possible that she’d be a pushy mom.

ITA. Unless she wanted Thomas to break up with her, she had to go. Maybe Thomas didn't deserve her support, but if that was the case, then she should have already broken up with him by that point. I'm sure Thomas is total jerk, too, as evidenced by the Facebook post, but I believed him when Kathryn was all huffing and puffing around him and then he commented to Whitney something like, "see this is why I could never have her on the campaign trail."

Last year's reunion was so calm and civil - I do NOT see that happening this year!! Yessss!!! Also love that Lady Gaga watches: https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/600669886742994944LOL! Who said that? Jen?

Wow, I am definitely no longer on Team Kathryn anymore after this episode!!! She is definitely a crazy person. I’m sure Thomas is a shitty boyfriend but that doesn't make her a prize by default. I recently rewatched some Season 1 episodes and that definitely influenced my opinion on Kathryn now – she was/is such a total liar. I thought Landon’s comment to Kathryn was totally true and probably needed to be said at some point but she did not pick the right time, place, or wording. It’s a shame for Kathryn that her reaction was so over the top because Landon was the only person besides Craig who defended her. Loved that they showed Cameron’s drunk ass. I love her but I think it is only fair that she gets a little called out after she commented on everyone else for the past two seasons!! I don’t think Thomas ever thought he was going to win or come close to winning. I think his strategy was to just put a dent in the votes – maybe get like 15-20% or something. Obviously that didn’t happen and no one should ever vote for someone who uses his facebook for HIGHLY personal matters!!

I think Shep and Cameran were kind of annoying this episode. I get it, but it seems over the top to be laughing that much at Craig's screw ups. I'm sure Craig can be annoying and it is disappointing to see him fail at his law job but 1) wasn't Cameran selling make up for a living like 2 years ago? and 2) Craig's "job" right now is to be on the show so it's not like he is starving with no money. He probably makes a lot more from the show and appearances in Charleston than he did as paralegal . Now, of course, he needs to get back on track with the law career but he has time to do that. Kathryn seemed like a hot mess. 22 or not, that was embarrassing to have on camera forever. I do believe Whitney that Thomas tells him bad stories about Kathryn. I would be pissed about that if I were Kathryn but she needs to be pissed at THOMAS not Whitney. If Thomas and Kathryn were really happy, Thomas probably would never listen to Whitney.

Hmm, def not cool and a hit against Shep if that's true. I always take things written on the internet by disgruntled employees with a grain of salt though.

I agree with all that you said! Every year Kelli's says that this year is the best talent they ever had - no idea about this year, but I do think that last year really was one of the best rookie classes! Melissa, Erica, Mary, Lacey...Even with Ashley and Breelan getting cut - two vets is not bad for a whole class given that in recent years they have cut A LOT of returning rookies.

I would think that if they had a problem with that they would have cut her at that time for breaking the rules...not let her stay and then cut her several months later. From her instagram, it looks like she has a different boyfriend. It's a real bummer that they cut her and only had one new black TCC. Also sad Ashley Paige didn't make it! Agree that Melissa R now does not have a very good track record if she was mentoring Breelan, Ashley, Chandler, and Caila. Only Caila is still here...although I guess she is only given the weakest candidates so that would kind of make sense.

I think the field performance is more important. If a veteran doesn't look good there, that's when I think they are really going to decide to cut them. I think the only solos that were maybe bad enough to stand out were Rachel and Breelan. I think Rachel will get a pass, but I'm sadly not sure about Breelan especially because (and I REALLY hate saying this) I think she gained weight. I'd be bummed if she doesn't make it though!

Ok, I know nothing about dance so I can't really appreciate the technicality of the better dancers but Jenna has been the ONLY one so far who I thought was interesting and fun. Maybe dance solos are just generally boring and that is why they didn't really show them before! I think Brendan is definitely going to be a group leader this year!! Show Group for sure!!! Lol!!! Edited to add - I like Lacey's, too!

I think they usually do that on the day of finals when they also deactivate the account of those who are cut...although IIRC, the cut or retired girls still have the same account, just a different handle name.
