Claire D looks....quite boxy, it may be a problem in the uniform

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure they'll send her home after seeing her in the uniform or saying "we don't think this is the best team for you"

[DCC-UK]

I really hope Sheridan makes it. She’s a little older than the rest too! Gone are the days where they want mature-looking women.

Jessica is pretty. She looks like Erin here.  In her audition pose she looked beautiful but very old.  Wonder what she will look like in person?

Yes! Thank you! Why does everyone love this pose? I think its so silly like they're doing a armpit smell test 

[Kitkatkitty]

Claire D is boxy and also kinda noodley in my opinion. I feel a little bad for Danielle Gerritzen who also auditioned, was on the same college team as Claire, looks similar, and I think is a better dancer.

I'm conflicted. If I had four hands....

On one hand, I'm in the "pick people for their skill, not for their skin color" group...

...but on the other hand, I can't take my eyes off the non-white ladies. Blondes on this team are a dime a dozen - with a few exceptions. They all blend together for me.

My third hand is saying that K&J's skills at picking ladies has never been the best since there are a few former current and former cheerleaders who've tried out multiple times. (Christina, Kelli Q. Hannah (i think), Brennan to name a few..)

...but my fourth hand knows that they'll choose whomever they please regardless of skill or skin color. (Meredith and well... you know)

So... whatever. Best of luck to all of them

Kelli makes me laugh with the double standards she gives out. Wasn't it Chelsea that Kelli said along the lines of "don't have your mouth wide open like that it looks ugly" and then they all do it on game day. It don't look great on some of the girls when they do that.

Is this the same sheridan that tried out and got to TCC a few years ago that was a former Mavs (maybe it wasn't mavs but another team but I cannot remember what team it was)? Or was that someone else? I have a horrible memory!!!!!!

Expand  

The report was 20 rookies but there are still 7 missing girls because they haven't posted or been confirmed, I will add those girls to the grid when they are known. The thought is that they will have some sort of training camp in person and will end up taking 6-8 new rookies (although some vets might get cut *cough* Meredith).

Armani looks especially uncomfortable and awkward with it.  But damn, she is stunning.  I'm also drawn to Jada and Marissa. 

Claire D is never going to make it.  She's just too big boned.  She could have zero body fat, and she's still going to be too wide for Kelli.

Jaycie seems unphotogenic.  All the photos I've seen of her seem a little off.

aaaaand... that's just me mouthing off without having seen any of them dance.  

[Lona]

I know it’s just the second day of TCC announcements and we have a long way to go, but Elli is an early favorite. 

[faxtar221]

Does anybody know anything about Annabelle (cow girl)? Any guesses if she will make it?

[TB12]

Is it pathetic that I’ve decided there is one I don’t like simply by looking at her going to training camp pic? I’m sure she’s perfectly lovely but so contrived, let the games begin...

I really think Jaycie's problem is her eyebrows and whatever she does to her eyelashes because it makes her look sad. With better makeup and darker hair she would look a lot better.

Not sure how much people appreciate lots of photo/video posts on this page but if there is interest I'm happy to compile videos of the TCC dancing if I can find them.

[scorpio1031]

Marshall said on Facebook that it was hard to make the side by side comparisons they do in person, so couldn't tell if the girls were making mistakes.  However, he felt he got to know them personally thru the interviews.  So, this could be very interesting when they get to training camp - who will stand out in dancing, but also, what are they really like in person.

I'm with you on the blonde aspect. They all seem to blend together unless they have shorter hair like Christina and Marrisa. I also think that too many of the girls have dated long hair styles. VK's hair looks dated to me.

[Kitkatkitty]

Some of the girls do not have any current dance videos so some are old but I took the best that I could get:

Jaycie (from 2016):

Marissa:

Claire 😧

Elli (from 2017):

Armani (from 2018 she is in the white t-shirt):

Claire W (in the white shirt):

Kelly (from 2018):

Jada (from 2018):

Sheridan:

I can't find anything good for Jessica, Annabelle, Dani, or Tori, and arguably some of these videos are not the best representation of their dance abilities now or their ability to dance DCC style

Marissa from this year

So exciting! I love seeing such fresh faces and can’t wait to see their talent.  I love all the pictures posted.  Remember not all of these ladies are from Texas- so it’s a BIG deal for these East Coast girls.  I am pulling for The ones from the Carolinas!! Go Marissa and Armani!!

Why 8?  If all the vets make it back they will take 6 or 7 rookies based on if they want 36 or 37 on the team. Have they said that were possible taking 38?

Someone said final numbers : 50= 21 new candidates and 29 returning DCC. A current rookie just retired.  What about cows in background Annabelle ? Also I don’t think that Madalyn girl in this chart made it to training camp. 

 

Expand  

???? I wonder if the statement about a current rookie retiring is true??? I hope not, but when I think about it, I could see Taylor possibly retiring because she is so tied to Arizona - always going back to visit, a boyfriend there......... Just a guess. What do you all think? 

It is hard for me to think of any of them giving it up after just a year when it took so much sacrifice, in most cases, to make it.

Expand  

Don't know if it is true, Marissa's dad said 6-8 on Facebook and I kinda was assuming he got that straight from whatever email they received. I think it is more likely they will take 37 total since on the podcast Kelli seemed to think it worked out really well last year with an extra girl.

Jessica went to same high school as Lacey.  She was captain of the team two years after Lacey. She’s a beautiful dancer.

My guess is that anyone that retires this close to TC must be injured or was told not to return for some reason.

I feel bad for Claire---she seems like someone they're bringing in just to cut because of the uniform.

Marissa seems like a good dancer, but that comp video made me think she is less training than I thought. 

I'm 100% behind Sheridan. 

Glad to see more POC ladies in the bunch. I like diversity. 

Stands out to me, facially, are Kelly, Shannan and Elli.

If you all had to choose the top 8 now (I assume around 8 rookies are making the team), who would they be?
