In a normal year yes. It seems for some reason they want 16 and 20 which causes the groups to be uneven. I don't get it but then again I guess I don't have to. 

There was a comment earlier that 20 ladies could fit on a deck.

Omg her turns were so bad wtf. I'd give a kidney to spin like Bridget 

Yessss, exactly. 

And I'm also obsessed with Cici's hair ❤️

Yesss, I love CiCi's hair!!  To me, although she obviously looks nothing like Bridget, she reminds me of her because they have that gorgeous yet adorable, spunky spirit about them !!       

Bridget's spins......to me,  it was just unbelievable last season when she showed just how spectacular she really was.  I truly hated to see her retire (as I've already mentioned multiple times)

I've watched the video of Bridget, Gina and Lisa so many times, I just love it, and of course again, I'm team Gina all the way.  Well, then there's Lisa. Don't do shit you can't do. But in her defense, it would suck to have to dance alongside of either of those two!!

Man they are drip feeding it this year!

How long is Lexie’s white vest?? (Especially compared to the others)

I remember when they had to fix Meredith’s at cameos as it was too long and made her look boxy 🤔

I think they're for breast cancer awareness month.  The pink is very subtle because they look silvery white.  I assume in November they go back to the regular poms.

I think they're for Crucial Catch which is an all-encompassing cancer awareness effort.  The color is rainbowy, and if you Google image NFL cheerleaders crucial catch, you'll see what some of the other squads did.  Some did multicolor poms, some did single color poms in each color of the spectrum and a lot stuck with BCA pink.  I'm dating myself but the DCC iridescent poms remind me of my Crystal Barbie from fifth grade ❤️

I think its the pose. She had dropped her shoulder so that makes it sit longer on that side.

With @meg.rs  info the groups are as followed:

 

[TorProc]

I actually thought the first clip of VK she looked good/pretty. *hides*

[TheGenuineBeauty]

Not surprised that Rachel W. and Maddie are "point" this year (I say point loosely since we're never gonna see them as point IRL) I said it from Day 1 that they were going to battle for point and for center of the squad photo. I am still disappointed though. Rachel W. is beautiful not gonna lie and Maddie is a great ambassador to the DCC, however if I was director of the DCC (a girl can dream) I would give the point of the triangle to the best dancer of the team and not on just looks. I MEAN HOW CAN YOU NOT GIVE POINT TO GINA???? That girl is probably one of the best dancers in DCC History!!! I would also consider Ashlee and Hannah (if she hadn't been cut....STILL SALTY ABOUT THAT) But it doesn't even matter since they are not going to dance on the field anyways so....

I have this gut feeling that Gina is going to retire this year and I am not ready for it. 

[TheGenuineBeauty]

Also can we just talk about this picture for a second... Am I crazy or does Lisa look "soft" in this picture? Hopefully is just a bad picture, but it does not look good in terms of Kelli's "DCC Look" standards.

If they do the two girls lying down in the front, my bet it will be Rachel and Tess with Maddie center of the front row. I just can't see Maddie lying on the floor (even if it's done with "grace"); I adore her but not sure she could pull off any of the sprawling poses, ya know?  

Gina looks so far back in the formation from what I've seen; hope I've just missed her; happy to see her get a group though.

If I saw correctly in the video of last game, she is in the first triangle with Maddie and Lexie

I'm just glad that the decks they perform on have solid railings, and non slip surfaces.

It was absolutely stupid. They should have just shown the girls dancing on the decks. This sewn together mess was embarrassing. 

Also, why can't they dance on the field?

In the first game she looked soft too. Makes me think someone has been heavily editing photos 🤔

Wow, the photos Lisa posted recently make her look like a power lifter (no insult to power lifters out there), and then to see this? Again, Wow!

How is Gina's knee doing? She definitely worked hard rehabilitating it, but seeing her pushed back a bit in the lineup at times, I am wondering if that is why she is hasn't been quite as "out there" as before. She certainly is a marvelous dancer, my only objection to her being at point, as she does those little extra moves that the other gals don't. Reminds me of Cassie in "A Chorus Line" where she is trying to fit into the dance corp instead of being a soloist.

That's what makes me also think it might be Gina's last year. That was a serious injury and, while this year won't be as bad without a kickline and jumpsplits, she still runs the risk of reinjuring it, and if they're going back on the field next year it would be ten times riskier for her to continue dancing with DCC. I would hate to see her go without being point, I love her as a dancer, but it might just be the smartest decision for her.

Lisa does look like a Bulgarian powerlifter. Exactly the body type Kelli cut Meagan Pravden over!

Oh well, consistency, who needs that in a management position?

I had some difficulties separating the great dancer from the impression that was the result of the character assassination that was carried out on Gina in her first year, so my opinion on Gina varied through the years.

After her second year, Gina danced her way into my heart and she stayed there based on her character and how caring and devoted she is. When TCC Gina Campagna almost blew all the other girls knees out by split-jumping out of sync, Gina was the most concerned and you could see how emotional she was for Gina Campagna. When Bridget fainted, Gina was the first to help. Gina's encouragement and coaching of Meredith during Melissa's Kiss Of Death session last season, was heartwarming.

I am, almost at the end of Gina's tenure, finally #TeamGina.

Right? Gina was pretty enough to make the team, so what's their problem?  Besides, it's subjective, I think she's prettier than Maddie.

also, gina campagna, what a precious doll. way too young and unprepared for dcc, just like s12 brianna, but damn was she pretty

My opinion on point is that I prefer having a steady dancer with the point look than the best dancer 🙊

When I saw that Gina was one of the very few DCC bridesmaids of Miranda I knew she had to be a good person. Miranda always came off to me as the most genuine and kindhearted of the DCC.

And with the way things are going, it may not be long before DCC isn't at the stadium either.  Players from 3 more teams tested positive this morning, putting this weekend's games in doubt for their teams.  And this is after 2 games had to be rescheduled last week.  The NFL is going to start tightening the reins pretty soon before it gets out of hand.

A lot of them have had their cheerleaders on their drum decks or on an open part of the stands. Must feel weird for those ones cheering with no crowd, I watch it on their insta stories and think you’ve got no atmosphere to add to the adrenaline and create the performance of it. 

[Manc.UK.DCCfan]

 Just to add to my post above about other teams girls dancing on the drum decks etc

Both stunning indeed and very young.

Here you can see Gina Maria's reaction to Gina Marie's mistake

Daphne finds it more embarrassing/awkward.

Before that incident, during Jennifer Colvin's workshop, Gina Marie was corrected for chasing the choreography and broke down in tears (very big ones, running down her face-her tears that is) and Gina Maria stood up from the veterans side and went to Gina Marie to console her.

I never expected Savannah to get a leadership role. She never seemed the dancer that would get it, good dancer but maybe not fit for a leadership role. (Idk for sure but did Melissa Kellerman had a role in her 4th/5th year?)

I am more sad for Rachel A. I really thought she would have got 2nd leader over Ashlee. I hope she decides to stay for a 5th year and became a 2nd leader. She became one of my faves

Something that just clicked into my mind while reading the new comments, remember how everyone was talking about the girls facing the field and dancing with their backs to the crowds, the game against the browns the girls were facing the crowds more from parts i saw. So I wonder if week 1 was a trial and error, purely for filming or what the girls/people fed back of TPTB read on here?

Same! Ill admit that I had issues with Gina her rookie year. She same across a bit arrogant in her interviews. Then I realized it was probably editing. I remember Kitty was gunning for her too after someone supposedly told her Gina had a bad attitude. But she's grown on me and I really like her! Plus, my eye just goes straight to her when she's dancing in a group. Gina would be my choice for point, but sadly she will not get it. Maddie is the fan favorite with the comeback story and a "Star" according to MRS. They are going to ride that train till Maddie retires.

Maddie is a great dancer but every single time I look at her all I see is a cute little brown chipmunk. It's the round cheeks! To this day I still wonder if Kelli still have lingering issue with Gina's features. Call me sensitive, but I would be a bit ticked off if my boss told me I look like the joker when I  smile.

I was surprised too! Savannah is a solid dancer, great ambassador, and very mature. It's possible that she didn't want the role. Maybe she was still holding out hope for making Show Group.  She's one of the ones I predict might retire next year.
