 I would think that Kelli would have a no personal travel policy if they are practicing together.  I have no problem with these women heading off to the Lake of the Ozarks or Amber heading to Arkansas or wherever else these ladies want to go in a normal time.  I expect all the girls of age and some not of age to drink.  And since we have not seen pictures and they were smart enough to not post anything, I do not know if they were drunk etc.  Nor do I care since all of them are of age although TPTB may care.  The heading to the Lake of the Ozarks which has been noted for Covid outbreaks was not smart.  Since I am sure they have several people monitoring this forum, the ladies will probably be asked about their Labor Day weekend.  

Obviously there is no bubble but I would hope the cheerleaders are being careful.  It goes to what I said before they do not need to go to bars or on vacation even if this goes on for a longer amount of time.  Everyone needs to practice social distancing and continue to stay at home as much as they can for this virus to ever stop.  People have to work.  They do not have to party.  I don't care they are in their mid 20's and healthy.  These women could all be carriers.  

 

I’ve said it before but I don’t think TBTB are overly concerned about this virus. If they were, they wouldn’t have risked putting that many girls through training camp. I hope the other girls are being more cautious.

Point will always be somewhat controversial. I get that. Kashara’s second year at point is pretty much the only year in recent times where I thought there was a clear cut person for point (and I know that some people wanted Lacey).  But even if someone disliked the point, the other girls in the triangle were usually great performers too. 

What annoyed me about last year is that they went with Maddie and Amy for what seemed to be no reason other than seniority, and then, the other girls in the triangle weren’t great either. It was just bizarre. Think of previous years where girls could’ve shared point - we could’ve had Kashara/Lacey, Jennifer/Jenna, Holly/Emma, Mia/Jackie, Whitney/Ashton, etc... Literally, every one of those pairings would’ve been 10x better than Amy/Maddie, but that’s what we got! I still don’t get the logic. Were they just mad at Gina or scared that they would piss of the senior vets by throwing some of the great 2 years (from last year) up there? It made no sense, and I hope they don’t repeat the same error this year.

I like both Amy and Maddie's personalities on and off the show plus Maddie is a star dancer to me. Love watching her, especially in hip hop like her solos and some DCC performances. I think Amy has beautiful hair and a lovely smile, and I love Maddie's hair and eyes. Despite this, I could still agree Gina's a good choice for point, but others have pointed out some reasons she's not- her makeup stops her from being eye-catching in the right way and that she embellishes the dance to the point where it looks too different to the others. So I don't necessarily think it was worry about pissing off senior vets. Also see below-

As much as we have this debate on Amy/Maddie being so vanilla etc if you watch the old shows they are consistently pointed out by guest choreographers.  Did they reach Kashara/Holly H/Jennifer A/Nicole H level maybe not be still solid.  

I was going to point this exact thing! It wasn't some conspiracy no one saw coming that Maddie and Amy got point. In the future people like Caroline, Amber, Rachel W will get their chance to move further up.

Since the cheerleaders won't be taking the field this year for the entrance and the overall triangle, I don't think Judy will really set it.  She'll have a general idea of who will go where, but won't really do anything about it unless or until the cheerleaders are allowed on the field (which I don't think will be this year at all).  I'm sure Victoria will be upset because she was expecting a prime spot this year.  It wouldn't be point, but she would likely have take a huge leap up the formation and would have been on an edge somewhere.  I also wouldn't be surprised if there's some second group leaders to support Tess and Maddie (like two girls, one to each side of the main person) to help call dances.  In addition, does anyone think the WHOLE team would fit on the Touchdown decks?  I thought only a few would dance up there at a time.

I would loved to have seen Megan C. given a chance at point.

She was as good as Holly Powell and I think had better lines.

Charlotte had a big part in that.

They need to trash the seniority thing once and for all. I mean, Christina a 3 year vet was still near the back in the squad photos. Nicole Bulcher barely moved in the triangle. Let's call a spade a spade and say they rank them by favoritism. 

Also, Kash was lucky to have received point her third year. So many better dancers retired, quit or was punished. Jenna, Melissa Wallace, Erica, Jenn K, Amy Trader, and Megan C. 

Yup! 
I thought the TD decks were supposed to be a slick surface and too dangerous but guess not now.

That’s right.

The pairs Kashara/Lacey, Jennifer/Jenna, Holly/Emma, Mia/Jackie, Whitney/Ashton cannot be in the same sentence as Amy/Maddie. There is just no comparison. 100x better.

Amanda/Kelcey or Rachel W/Caroline can compare.

I agree with you 100% no one can compare to those.

I am totally here for a Rachel W/Caroline point. Rachel W/Amber would also be amazing.

Amanda/Kelcey point would be awesome too actually. I hope they stay for more years!!

Literally every. single. time. I see Amber, I ask “who is that?” Pretty girl, but she is the definition of forgettable for me.

Yes!  I agree.  I feel that way about Miranda and Lexie, too, but when I'm reminded of Miranda I remember that I like her.    I just can't muster an opinion about Amber and Lexie one way or the other.

Also, that gif of Victoria made me laugh out loud.  I'd forgotten that!

Oh yes! Let’s show up with questions:

How is your thyroid? 
Is it true you stole a phone case? 
I know you were unhappy with Brennan when she spoke to you about your attitude, but do you feel at all bad about getting her kicked off the team?

Okay, so I know about her "thyroid" problem, but can someone please elaborate on the stealing a phone case, and what exactly happened between her and Brennan?

Half the squad was on each deck above opposite end zones so they all fit...then.  With six feet apart a requirement, what will they do now?  I remember Rhythm and Blue used to dance on "balconies" for lack of a better word.  They were way up high which only made sense due to a full house.  It will be interesting to see what they're allowed to do with mostly empty seats.

LOL. I remember a couple of weeks after the 2018 squad was finalized there was a conversation going on about the girls flying under our radar. Someone mentioned Amber and I popped in with a "Who?" And they were like "Amber, the rookie." I was like "there's an Amber?" And then I can't remember if it was here or maybe on a different group I put my foot down and was like "Guys, there is no Amber!"

It all ended finally when a generous soul legit had to post a screenshot of the squad photo with Amber circled. It was then, and only then, that I finally realized Amber was a DCC rookie and I just had never noticed her.

😂 Gosh I can be such a doofus sometimes!

I think that a DCC should be formidable not forgettable.

Don’t forget VK travels the space when dancing, so allow extra space for that!!  But if she falls off, doesn’t watch out for those poms  that sabotage her dancing, TK will catch her!  No one has provided details of VKs attitude in TC.  What did she do, that warranted being called out by her boot buddy who in turn was cut?  So messed up!

Controversial opinion I actually really liked Amy and I was glad she got point even for part of it. I also really like Daphne. 
 

I would LOVE to see Amanda at point before she retires in the future she was my fave rookie out that class. 

I actually also feel quite sorry for DCRB they really don’t get as much exposure considering they’re “the first team of their kind” you’d think they’d have more exposure wouldn’t you?

Hang on, are you another DCC fan in Manchester?? I never thought I’d see the day!! 
 

I agree, Amy was a good option for point in my opinion but I didn’t like the split point at all and I also think if it had been Amy on her own, it may have lacked that ‘wow’ factor. But they didn’t achieve that with the split anyway 😂

My point picks.

2020: Because, why not? Maddie, with better hair. I love you Mads but the tight curls need to go.

2018: KaShara
2017: Jenna
2016: Jenna
2015: Holly A
2014: Holly A
2013: Emma

2011: Ashton
2010: Ashton
2009: Queen Nicole
2008: Queen Nicole
2007: Queen Nicole
2006: Queen Nicole

 

Mine would be

2020: Rachel W
2019: Heather O
2018: KaShara
2017: KaShara
2016: Danielle (as she is my fave DCC) 
2015: Holly H
2014: Holly H
2013: Jackie Bob
2012: Whitney
2011: Ashton

Didn't include prior 2011 as I haven't seen those seasons yet (sadly)

Can't wait to see what the DCC do game day.  If you click on these two teams stories you will be able to see what the cheerleaders did last night.

 

It was sad to see on the ig story for the chiefs that they could only fit 7 members on their drum deck

Skip Bayless in particular was a real dick about Dak opening up about his depression and anxiety after his brother’s suicide, as were some lesser members of the sports press. And thank goodness Bayless in particular is getting a heap of heat about it. I’m glad they’re showing support for their QB. 
 

I think Hannah getting the boot for “attitude” for how camp was handled is also a big heap of shit, but apples and oranges IMO. Dak is a sports figure 95% of NFL fans have heard of, so much like Mahomes being very forward about BLM and the importance of voting, it’s a big impact when these guys speak out. And insane that Dak got negative press for doing so.

Are we the same person?  🙂  I feel the same way.

RE: Dak, and the weird cognitive dissonance of DCC leaders posting this after what happened to Hannah this year, and what happened to Taylor a few years back (that incident with Cassie, which still makes me mad when I think about it): there's a lot more acceptance of people being vulnerable and genuine when they are people in power.

If the DCC could only fit seven on each platform, who would they leave out?  You'd have to assume they would leave out a few extra on Victoria's platform, given how big she dances.  Lisa, maybe, and some of the rookies, and who else?  Alanna and Cianna and some of the veterans who aren't in Show Group?  Fun to try to guess.

I can certainly see why Chelsea continues to list herself on social media as Former DCC !  Regardless of the circumstances of her exit, she was in a position on a team that young girls and young women dream about and covet to be a member of- even if only for one year.

Same about Miranda, and actually there are several quiet brunettes that I often forget. Amber for sure is at the top of the list 100% of the time. Molly is a close second and Alexis and Miranda round out the mix. Of those, I remember that I like Miranda but feel like I know nothing of the other three.

so either Kelli has everything on serious lockdown or most of our insiders get their info from CMT staff who aren't there anymore, or a combo there of bc we've not gotten any info on what's happening with practices or if there were any consequences for the girls who went to the lake, or if maybe those girls owned up to it and voluntarily quarantined.

It was after the anthem. The chiefs stood for the anthem bar a few players who kneeled while the Texans stayed in their locker room.

After both anthems they came out and joined together, with both QBs linking and then the teams on each side. Andy Reid was also right up in the middle with the captains.
