I don’t get the Christina hate. Throughout the whole time we have seen her, the attitude she expressed was always good, she has a great smile and sure, there’s imperfections. Not the best dancer? Neither was Jordan Charley. From what I have seen on her IG, she is very well liked by her team mates. 
 

As far as SpastiKat and VK, flame away on those two. 😆

I know Kat is a WOC, so I don't mean any disrespect, but she should not have make it. She has no training, and there are other WOC coming into TC that could take her spot for sure.

Thanks!

Yes I agree. I think McKenzie is very pretty and has a great look. She looks very different in her recent photos than she did in her time at Alabama.

 

My daughter goes to Alabama, and one of the girls who danced with her was in her sorority.

I wonder if there will be a delay to training camp now as it came out this morning that a number of Cowboys players have recently tested positive to Covid-19 including Zeke. It's all over ESPN and the NFL network

Alabama has had several players test positive, as many other college teams. It makes you wonder if they will be able to have a football season, or if it will need to be delayed as well.

She has got more charisma and glamour in here little pinky than other DCC’s in their whole body.

ooooh! Does this mean the current list is wrong or there are still 5 girls to find (bringing the TCC count up to 21)?

my current list of most likely potentials (keep in mind that we don't know if any even auditioned lol): 

Taylor Holbrook: taylorholbrook_

Ashlinn Maze: ashlinnmaze

Amelia Evans: _ameliaevans

Darian Lassiter: darianlassiter

Alora-Rose: alorarose

I'm thinking Amelia is one of the brunettes we have likely seen dance, and I'm hoping Darian is one of the black girls because she is gorggg. Taylor Holbrook and Ashlinn Maze have both previously been mentioned as potentials. DCC Hannah is following all of the confirmed TCC plus Darian, Ashlinn, Amelia, and Alora. Alora and Amelia are confirmed to have auditioned.

Yes I am for sure overthinking things but I am bored hahaha. And yes I have more potentials on my list if these are wrong but I think these are the most likely. 

Alora Rose just posted on her story that she’s heading to NYC, which is home for her (I think?). Maybe breaking her Florida quarantine to head home and start packing up her life??

Why does someone need to “take her spot?” Isn’t that kind of what goes to the heart of the debate this country is having right now? That there are only a certain number of spots for black girls but not other girls? Why can’t Kat earned her spot back as well as any other black girls who earn their own spots? Why does it have to be an even swap? They are DANCERS, not “black girls.”
 

@admin I’m not looking to pick a fight, but I’ve made a commitment to speak out when I see people being treated differently solely based on color to help open eyes and hearts.

Hmmm...you’re missing:

-2 more black girls (both have cheered in the NFL previously)

-1 girl has already been mentioned on this board 

-2 brunettes, one of which you’ve probably already seen dance 

 

A couple of conclusions:

• Darian fits the description because she was a former NBA dancer & NFL cheerleader, but who is the second WOC?
• Amelia and Alora sure are brunettes

The "1 girl has been already been mentioned on this board" got me thinking: who has been mentioned on the boards???

Sarah Parton!!! @sarahraquel1_

Ok 1) If the conversation here is going off the rails, report it. Don’t tell each other what to do.

2) The conversation is kinda going off the rails. Audition speculation. That’s the topic.

Considering that Sarah made a post about being a semifinalist I really think that if she was a TCC she would be shouting it from the rooftops.

Her parents have both been quoted on this thread. Stage parents? Seems like a risk to insert yourself into tcc #s and chitchat when your daughter is a rookie candidate. 

Being that Marissa is from NC, I have followed her closely.  I have observed two parents excited about their daughters success.  I have not seen them critique anyone, but support their daughter.  If it was my daughter, i would be reading forums and finding out as much information as I could....for her sanity and my own.  From what I have been able to find on the news and internet- Marissa is well rounded and I can’t wait for her to shine at training camp.  Her videos are as genuine as they come- we need more young people like Marissa- I for one hope she makes it all the way!! 

[Stee]

Count me as another #TeamKat. She’s gorgeous, has a personality (this is missing from half the squad), someone I’d want to hang out with, and seemingly a good/popular teammate. If someone is gonna be outdanced, I feel like I could name a handful of others instead.

Cute pic of DCC Kelcey with TCC's Jaycie and Claire W. Interestingly Kelcey cheered with Jaycie at ASU and then transferred to Nebraska where she cheered with Claire. Claire transferred from Nebraska to ASU and then cheered with Jaycie. All three have never been on the same team at the same time.

Did some digging, looks like Geena made the Seattle Sea Gal's in 2016 but was never actually on the team? There is a picture of her in the announcement of the team, but not on the final roster or actually in uniform so maybe she had to drop out before the season or something. She then went to University of Washington where she cheered with TCC Dani and was a DCC finalist last year. I'd love her to be a TCC but I would be surprised if she is just based on her social media.

She's got the figure Kelli likes. I agree, her looks could use some softening. If that's all her natural hair, she's lucky. It would be nice to see it all, one color with flattering highlights. She has striking eyes! I think they're lovely.

I thought last year or the year before that Malena said she would not reaudition? On that note, I am still butthurt that Auto Amy didn’t return. She would have been a great DCC.

Geena Rojas...and I don't know if she's ever cheered on another professional team or not.  I follow her on IG, but absolutely nothing has been posted on her page in ages (since December last year).  All of her pictures of dancing are from UW.  I love her look though! She is bright, bubbly, and absolutely adorable!! 🙂

Is there a complete list on who made training camp?  Who retired? Who was cut?

I'm glad Malena didn't reaudition, I hated how she was treated, and that she quit a good job to keep in training camp.     I don't think Kelli had any intention of ever putting her on the team.    I wish others would realize that putting your life on hold for years at a time isn't worth it.    Once Kelli doesn't want you on her team, you're never getting picked.

How was she treated? I thought they always liked her, but unfortunately her dancing wasn't up to par.  Wasn't it said that Kelli wanted a bigger team that year in order to keep Malena and Victoria, but Charlotte said no it had to be 36?

Totally agree with you, UNC1997. Looking through Marissa’s social media and watching a few of her videos... she is such a driven, talented young lady. NYC and now Dallas... and only 18. She’s my fave! Love her hair too! #teammarissa

And then the next year it had to be 37 to allow Meredith on the squad???

[CrazyInAlabama]

The first year, Malena was hauled in the office, and told Kelli she was quitting her full time job, at the college football program.      I think Kelli had already decided she wasn't keeping Malena, but she let her sit there in the office, saying she was going to quit her job and didn't say a word.     I'm betting that before training camp starts that Kelli has decided 90% of the cuts, and maybe even more than that.  

The next year I don't think there was any chance that Malena was going to make the team, but they selected her for show ratings, since she was such a likable person.     

It's not the right way to treat a person.   I really like Malena as a person, and think she's one of the TCC that I would really enjoy meeting in real life.

Can I just stress and remind everyone what Kelli's degree is. SHE HAS A SALES/MARKETING DEGREE, if my memory serves me right in remembering what it is. So you can see where she was going with Malena. I would have had cut her when Malena admitted during her first audition that she was the FIRST Jets cheerleader to have been benched the ENTIRE season. Sorry Malena there had been at least OVER 10 years of this show before you tried out, don't you watch tv? If not whats stopping her either buying it on amazon or itunes or recording it on cable (if she has cable) and then watch the routines (even tho we all know its not shown in full on the show) but she could've learnt some of it. Even if she didn't do that, HELLO MALENA YOUTUBE TUNDERSTRUCK and learn that at least ....... LOL

 

But we all know Kelli "loves" stringing people on, on the show. <coughs> Megan Flaherty

But she wont remember one routine tho. She made a rookie mistake admitting she was benched by the Jets her 1 and only season with them (did she cheer more than 1 season with the Jets?)
