Oh no.  Did I miss her announcement that she will retire?

I haven't seen any conclusive evidence Bridget, Christina or Miranda will retire. I am still hoping it is not true.

[EricaShadows]

I've been keeping a wary eye on social media for anything related to the ROTY and VOTY announcements.  Like the rings, those would have been announced at the End-of-the-Year banquet as well as who was "officially" retiring.  I wonder why those three things haven't been "officially" released yet unless Kelli wants a big production for them.

She did say something on the podcast about not being emotionally ready for the year to be over.  However, in the normal world, the banquet would have gone on and the announcements would have been made last month.

Kelli might not be emotionally ready for the year to be over, but they're getting ready for the NEW year to start because auditions have started, even if the final deadline for submissions hasn't passed.  I'm wondering if she's not ready for Victoria's rookie year to be over.  Now, she's not a rookie so Kelli has to be "tougher" on her than before.  Yeah, right.  Like THAT'S ever going to happen.

Just because she’s so TALL, of course. It just makes sense 😂 ETA...just occurred to me that Tess didn’t retire, and a triangle of Maddie up front flanked by Tess and VK could be a thing. I mean, Tess deserves be promoted, natch, so of course they need another tall girl to balance. Oh goodness.  Poor Lexie.

Also y’all, I am super tickled that Lexie and her momma favor each other so much. They’re just so Dallas. I miss it so. Sigh. The ability to fly without cooties can’t come soon enough! All the mom/daughter pics were great. 

I seriously doubt that is going to happen regarding Victoria in the triangle or diamond 🙄 Tess would most likely be the top of the diamond .. Judy has pointed Tess out as being too delicate a few times ... she may be a good leader but that doesn't always translate in a seniority placement in the triangle or Janelle would have been point or flanked right or left even diamond in the triangle (did that happen her last year??). Good gracious they put Janelle way up in the photo where she should have been more front and  Lexie jumped over Gina in triangle position.. such conspiracies  🤣🤣🤣

[kalibean]

Tess is the top of the diamond now until Amy swaps into her spot. So I guess the question is who replaces Amy. Maddie will prob be permanent point, so logically Gina and Lexie would finish the triangle. 
 

But seeing that logic generally has no place in placement these days, who the hell knows?

This. Tess is already there. Blending. Blending along with Lexie, Maddie and Amy. Whole situation is ragtag and boring. Why they picked middle of the pack dancers and meh looking girls for this diamond is beyond me. Might as well bring back plain boring Cassie and her inhaler for when she runs out of steam. 
 

Pitiful when every single 2nd year outshines all the other vets it still stuck in the back.

 

Best situation was at Christmas with two triangles so you had the blah vets then the new girls out dancing them in the lower level triangle. Those girls were ROCK STARS. I would be embarrassed to be a upper level vet that year.

You know, I don’t remember thinking that Maddie’s rookie group was weak at the time, but looking back, it really was IMO. I guess Cersten and Maggie were the strongest, but when I think of faces of team of the years, they don’t really come to mind. There was real a drop off after the season 10 girls until the current second years/rising third year girls came around. I really think this current group (Jalyn, Bridget, etc) is on par with the season 3 and 7 rookies in terms of having more than a handful of real standout dancers.

I'd add Mandy and Kelli to the mix for that season too. 

The following season, only Lauren P (despite her memory mistakes) and Gina really stood out in dance terms to me. I think that was a weaker year. Kalyssa was strong too but I don't like flakes.

  Kelli might not be emotionally ready for the year to be over, but 

I Am!!  At this point I have watched, through sheer stay at home boredom and against my better judgment,  every episode of Season 14 with the exception of the finale.  Cannot bear to see VK actually "make the team." Through lack of interest in the star of the show, it took me seven months and a pandemic to finally tune in.

I call this the year of The Torso and The Hair.

                    The Torso^                                                  The Hair^

And the moral of the story is: mediocrity breeds contempt.  I am neutral on both of these ladies, preferring Maddie over Amy, but don't feel either one deserved point.  Amy having it for 10 seconds, or whatever, is IMO just a set up to ensure that when a certain someone is the longest serving vet she will be assured point -- there is precedent! -- if it hasn't already been handed to her.  

Yeah, let's just wrap this year up where the opportunity to have some awesome talent in the front was squandered and perhaps -pandemic allowing - move on to next year. Or not  -- a few years ago I would have been devastated by a disruption in filming, now it's  a chore to watch as I realize I'm often in total disagreement with Kelli's choices.

I wonder if this is what we saw Amber rehearsing for in her stories, or does she still have a solo DCC in motion coming out?  And we still have the one coming out with Jalyn, Cici and Daphne.

When she first made the team, I wasn't a fan of Gina's but I wasn't a hater.  Now...I think she's become one of my favorite vets.  She may not have "the look" that a lot of past points have had...but if we go on last season, our points were "blah bland boring blenders". I like Maddie...I really do.  She's a good dancer and baby faced cute.  Was she point material?  If you judge by seasons past, no.  Amy most definitely was NOT point material.  She was about as vanilla and boring as they come.  Gina is one of the strongest dancers on the team, her looks have been refined over the past year and she's gotten rid of the platinum blonde hair (thank goodness). In my opinion, I think she has definitely earned a spot in the triangle.  My guess, is that Maddie will be the sole point this year.  I say flank her with Gina and Caroline

Edited May 13, 2020 by mizzhyer

[Nelliephant]

I agree with what everyone is saying. I like maddie, but she's not point material, yet she will be point this year.

If they wanted the best dancer then Gina should be it. If they wanted to go for the "girl next door" and powerful dancer that they used to go for, about half the incoming 3rd years could be point. 

It is a shame that this seems to have come down to a length of service thing. Length of service should be thought about for group leaders, but for point I think they should just pick the best person from the 3rd years+. I think after that time they've proved they have the consistency to be point.

I also think part of Ginas success is that she has assimilated beautifully into the DDC mindset, which I interpret as “Still think you are the best, but do it in a ladylike way.” 

Such a nice way of putting this!  There is nothing wrong with thinking you're the best...none of these ladies would ever bother auditioning if they didn't think they were any good...but acting like you're the best in a conceited way sure is a problem!

I don't hate Maddie and she has come a long way since her first round of TC.  But since I was hoping she would retire (along with Tess), I'd love to see them switch it up with point and give it to someone else.  I'm also not a fan of sharing point.  Can't exactly nail why, I'm just not.  I doubt TPTB will do any of this,  but a girl can dream.

i think Maddie is a very boring point, and I'm cringing at the thought of another year, or 2 or 3, of her as point.

I would love to actually see K&J’s discussions with each other on point. My guess is that those convos are purposely kept off screen, but it would be interesting. I agree that Amy and Maddie seemed to get point based off of length of service, but that’s definitely new. Sydney Durso never got point although she was a 7 year vet her last year. Neither Jenna, Danielle, or Jessica got point over Jenn. Neither Jinelle or Lacey got it over Kashara (I know that Jenna was originally point, and she was the most senior vet that year, but they could’ve easily given it to Lacey). Yet, basically any of those people would’ve been more exciting IMO than Maddie and Amy. It’s just hard to see the logic. 

Now, I do think Maddie is a fan favorite, and she’s certainly a “face” of the team. I’ve actually soured on her dancing over her tenure on the squad (I enjoyed her more her first couple of years), but I think my opinion is a minority one, so I can see why they put her up there for that reason. Otherwise tho, leadership/ seniority thing seems like it should be more important for group leader positions. I definitely think that there’s something to be said for paying your dues and then reaping the benefits, but I feel like that’s an “everything else being equal” thing, not a “tenure/experience trumps dance ability/performance“ thing.

That would effectively demote Tess though, since she’s currently spending more time within the triangle instead of behind point? I still think it was an awful decision to bring such a tall girl into the triangle and place Amy behind point for most of the performance. It looks extremely unbalanced but I’d be fine with this if said tall girl was exceptionally strong buuut...

Now I'm curious. Does this mean fewer episodes this season? Possibly 10 instead of 13?

I’d assume they’d go further into the season, which would be interesting both because they haven’t done that in a while and because I assume there will be new challenges with the current situation that they could cover

The same for Nicole Bulcher. Both Nicole and Jinelle was pretty far back in the triangle for their final season and no tv are favourites/pretty good dancers.

The thing is. With those, like Danielle, Jessica, Jenna and Lacey and all was still pretty near the front of the triangle their final year. With Jenna and Lacey behind the point girl their final year. Jinelle and Nicole on the other hand (if I remember correctly), was actually further back (further back then where Danielle/Jess)  for their final year (that is if I remember correctly on Danielle and Jess’s position, in the triangle for their 5th and final year correctly, was 3 or 4 row behind point) but Jinelle and Nicole was further back, which I thought was a tad weird esp as Jinelle was a 5yr and Nicole Bulcher was a great dancer and is STILL an all star.

 

Speaking of all stars, who are 20/21’a all stars? @ShellyB help?

 

Ok I’m also making a list for myself. But can someone refresh me on who this year 19/20 all stars are, I know Nicole and Danielle are, but lost track of the rest. (And the all stars for the last few years and I mean specifically the last few years eg 15/16, 16/17, 17/18, 18/19 etc because I somehow lost my list when I was transferring things to my new computer doh!!!)

The triangle is usually girls of same height I believe ... I don't see how a tall girl could be point ... the diamond would be ruined and we all know Judi is very particular about the triangle how could you put a shorter girl right behind the tip ... it wont work.  Was there not a recent season that had the tall blonde (6 ft) from WV and Kelli was wondering if she was too tall for their kick line.  I thought most of the taller girls were the outer edge due to height ????

I love Nicole Bulcher, and I think she’s one of the most beautiful girls that they’ve had, but I thought her dancing was just ok. I understood why she wasn’t close to the front. I don’t remember where Sydney was in the formation, but I dont remember her being a weak dancer (I don’t remember her dancing much at all!) but she definitely had the “DCC look” to be upfront. With Jinelle, I have to think it was looks that kept her further back because she was a good dancer. Of course, neither Amy or Maddie are glamour girls, so again, the standard seemed to be different this past year, but that’s all I can think of with Jinelle. There’s a clip from some show group performance where the top of the triangle was Jenna flanked by Jinelle and Lacey. I thought they all looked good, so not sure why Jinelle got moved back in the main triangle that year.

Show group gets outer edge. Tall girl at point works as long as the one behind isn’t super short. But yeah looks best to me when all 3 are similar build like the Holly/Jacie/Emma perfection.

I so wished they’d rotated Holly and Jacie.

Thanks I was wondering about that 🙂

[kalibean]

For kickline, tall girls on the 50 and grade to the shorties on the end.  For 6” Lindsay, she would have needed to be perfection to not stand out, as well as be flanked by girls almost as tall as her. I think that was a particularly short year, plus even 6’0” to 5’9” is a noticeable drop. Might work out okay, but Kelly seems to expect a lot from her 50 yard line girls. 
 

I’m 6’0” so understand the struggle.

That's another thing that bugged me about the triangle this past season.  The heights.  No way are Lexie, Maddie, Tess, Amy and Gina the same height.  By Gina, I mean the variance in formation depending who's turn it was at point.

But wasn’t Jinelle the one who Kelli kinda “didn’t want” on the team, her rookie season because of her looks in person. But then when they did the field and on the jumbotrom “BAM” Kelli “loved” Jinelle because her looks on the jumbotron was so much “better” there than in person (I don’t remember the words exactly so paraphrasing on the words). So I was surprised Jinelle was a little further back.

 

then again I know Sydney wasn’t the best dancer but her dancing is around Amy L’s level (in my eyes and I’m not a dancer) but both have the DCC looks. 
 

To come to think of it didn’t one of the Trevino sister have a further back position? (Think it was Trisha) and either her or Nicole Bulcher said that seniority had no say where you are in the triangle.

What’s WV? Besides isn’t VK one of the tall ones and she was put in the 3rd or 4th line in Ginas place when she was out this season? (I can’t remember if Gina was 3 or 4 lines back off the top of my head).

I want to say the original poster was talking about West Virginia, the state, and that it was the girl in question's home state.  As for VK taking over Gina's position, I think she was 4th back because she was the third blond in the line and Maddie was at point.  I could be mis-remembering it though.

All the girls look like they had a lot of fun with Jen's routine.

Hmmm. Cute routine.

something always seems off to me with daphne. Like she always looks really tired around the eyes and mouth kinda drawn, plus has odd ribs. She just does not look well to me and that is worrisome.

And that’s a GL, point girl, 4th going on 5th year vet. Not a rookie.

Exactly why I fear it is merely a "set up" to enable a certain controversial someone to be point after she puts in the time. 

 

Don’t give them credit they don’t deserve. They put her in Gina’s position as a rookie and they only reason she was moved back (and by back I mean in a 4th year, GL’s position, not in a “rookie” position) is because she messed up and got a lot of negative comments before they deleted the video. They have their “excuse” to move her as a vet right there, no need to wait until she’s been there for a while.

I love Nicole Bulcher, and I think she’s one of the most beautiful girls that they’ve had, but I thought her dancing was just ok. I understood why she wasn’t close to the front. I don’t remember where Sydney was in the formation, but I dont remember her being a weak dancer (I don’t remember her dancing much at all!) but she definitely had the “DCC look” to be upfront. With Jinelle, I have to think it was looks that kept her further back because she was a good dancer. Of course, neither Amy or Maddie are glamour girls, so again, the standard seemed to be different this past year, but that’s all I can think of with Jinelle. There’s a clip from some show group performance where the top of the triangle was Jenna flanked by Jinelle and Lacey. I thought they all looked good, so not sure why Jinelle got moved back in the main triangle that year. 

With jinelle it was so weird because they got really emotional over her decision to retire and chose her to basically go back into the team for a 6th year since she danced in every game. And she looked far better than amy and maddie, so she deserved better imo.

It’s neat choreography, but I much preferred watching Caroline and her sister do it than most of the featured girls in this. 
 

Something in Daphne just makes her look like she’s in her 40’s and has had a hard life. I guess it’s probably the mix of very skinny, too much makeup, and always fake-looking hair?

The triangle is usually girls of same height I believe ... I don't see how a tall girl could be point ... the diamond would be ruined and we all know Judi is very particular about the triangle how could you put a shorter girl right behind the tip ... it wont work.  Was there not a recent season that had the tall blonde (6 ft) from WV and Kelli was wondering if she was too tall for their kick line.  I thought most of the taller girls were the outer edge due to height ????

That video was pretty bad ...you would think she would have had someone to help her set that up better 😲

On the Ask Me Anything in 2016 an anonymous retired DCC (most think it was Dorie Braddy) said that 5'6-5'9 is the sweet spot for height and girls in that range are more likely to get the triangle/point positions. 

here is the excerpt:
 

Ask me and I'll do my best to answer.

What would you say is the average height and weight of an in shape dcc?

5'6 to 5'9 is the sweet spot. Those girls make squad leader and get triangle. Mid point on the kick line. They want tight bodies yet as little muscular definition as possible. I was 5'6.5" and 118 pounds. You are weighed at your audition and you sign a contract that you will remain within 5 pounds of your audition weight. It states that you must "look good" in the uniform and that is up to the discretion of the DCC organization.

There is no actual height and weight guidelines. It is all about the uniform and being proportioned to showcase the uniform. That bit with Kelly and the uniform fitting is true. I'd never been felt up by a female until then haha. You have to have the right amount a skin

best to pad you up or minimize you to get the perfect DD.

Again if you are a favorite they would turn a blind eye unless the jiggle got out of hand.

I just found it interesting 🙂

Ooh, I really enjoyed this video! I’d love to see the full routine from each small group. I didn’t recognize Cianna with straight hair!

That "Then & Now" video of Maddie is ridiculous--it's every clip that made her look bad and a scene-by-scene recap of her in TC for 2 seasons, and then we jump to her last solo at auditions. That's it. Why not show her getting GL! Or mentoring/working with TCCs as a vet? Or her doing anything else as a vet? Falling out at Hall of Fame week rehearsal. GETTING POINT. I mean, come on. So ridiculous to do a "Then & Now" of a rookie, and then to do a half-ass job of a longstanding vet. Weak editing. They have plenty of footage to do some great videos! All that video of Maddie did for me is remind me of two long-term things I've not liked about her dancing--her exaggerated faces she makes and her tight kicks, which still are tight (esp her left) for a vet let alone group leader and point. I won't even get started on her hip hop. They better keep splitting point if they don't want to demote her. I would be so bummed to have her entirely as point for a year or more. There are so many gorgeous and fun dancers on that team I enjoy watching so much more than Maddie.

Yep. Keep saying this! And like this I hope it's not true in regards to Bridget. I just feel like there's so much more she can do for the team! Christina has always been meh to me, but I do respect her persistence and hard work! With Miranda, I totally understand as she's a newlywed and probably would want to start a new life. Still disgusted with Kitty's "grandma Mosas" comment from S13. Completely uncalled for and nowhere near close to the truth.

I think the Grandma Moses comment was not necessary but Miranda's hairstyle always seemed dated to me ... like 60's or 70's  Tammy Wynette always comes to mind when I see her.  The other girls with longer hair have a little layered look and curl ... it seems they give her an updated look and she reverts to what she has known the one she came into training camp with. My sister will do the same thing .. I will get her to go to my stylist she will update the look and then a few weeks later looks like she is purposely trying to style her hair back the way she started .... oh well
