Everyone keeps talking about Armani but did anyone see the DCC Insider post on Instagram saying she’s actually one of the mean girls and generally isn’t well liked by the time? Not surprised she didn’t get ROTY. I best Marissa is fuming it wasn’t her, but I suppose she got a barbie..

 

I think Tess is retiring, especially from her game day IG take over. 

Generally a fair few of them don’t have too many posts on their DCC instas, on the grids it looks as though Kristen is one of the more active posters 

I'm not sure I believe that rumor. Armani, Ashlee and Kat seem to be close now and they seem like they're having fun. I know Instagram isn't reality but still. Plus Armani is always commenting really positive comments on other girls pages, including the ones who got cut last year like Hannah.

I don't have Marissa hate either, but I don't pay much attention to social media.

Lovely news about McKenzie and Gina! I remember both vets and rookies cheering her on watching McKenzie in a rehearsal on one episode, and it struck me then that likely was a sign of her good vibes as well as her talent. And Gina has been overlooked as point and such, so it's nice to see her teammates giving her love and respect this way. 

I tried clicking on Rachel A's post shared here, where folks started saying it looks like she might retire, but all I saw was a pic with boxing bags and "Monday Mood" on it. Maybe I'm missing something? I'm a fan of hers and have been since her audition, and I'd love to see her get 2GL if she stays another year. 

Count me in for the Ashlee love! And for the "OMG what?" about Armani's dress. But remember, they didn't get a Belk fashion show-training session during training camp this year! 🤣 

Surprised that it sounds like Jaylyn and Briana might be staying another year. I'm a fan of both ladies, so that's cool...but surprising nonetheless.

Who is the curly haired one near the middle in this group pic ? I don't recall anyone with curls like that with hair that color and can't discern from just the eyes who it is. Like, I can't even guess. Can anyone solve this mystery for me? I suspect I will feel dumb when you tell me who it is...

Don't wanna sound rude but I kinda chuckled at this comment. It's a face you really know !!

I had a thought McKenzie would be Rookie of the Year. She seemed to be a favorite by a lot of the veterans and they knew her before. I know it's because of the pandemic but i honestly forget who the current rookies are until we mention them or they're posted on the DCC instagram. 

As of Gina being Veteran of the Year, it makes me happy because it shows growth since the beginning when she probably had that competition mentality when it came to training camp as a rookie and now she's loved by all of the DCC's.

Dare I say it?! It look like CELLULITE 😲😱😨. OMG, could it be possible that the most perfect women ever in the history of mankind would have dimples on their thighs and cheeks?! Say it ain't so.

it's so funny because she has like...2 faint cellulite dimples (breaking news: you don't have to be overweight to have cellulite) and a crease in her torso because of how she's bending her body. quick, call weight watchers!

like, do you know how great a person has to look irl to look that good wearing an unforgiving uniform in a close up picture??

[onthebubble]

I wish I looked as awful as Rachel A 🤣 seriously she is stunning! 

[Lona]

Um ... Rachel A. is gorgeous and thick. Thick in a good way haha 😏.

And yes. I too fail to see any issue in that picture.

It depends on how Kelli reacted to last years fan reaction.  Is she thinking maybe I should be careful or MY TEAM MY SHOW!!!!

Me too. 

I can only imagine what it felt like for her to enjoy the spotlight after all her physical therapy hard work.  Having had a knee injury that ultimately ended my dance days, I get it.  It's definitely not easy to come back after that kind of injury.

Here's a link to the opening I don't think has been shared.

OOO look what IIII found. I can't remember if I read you couldn't see Tess but at one point she's right in the middle. Lexie looks big... Also I mentioned this in another post but they changed the choreo a little!!!

As much as I think Thunderstruck is boring and tired and needs to be replaced, the new covid safe ending doesnt have pizazz that the jump split does!

That front kick line is all askew. Gina looks like a 10 year old next to Tess. This is the same performance where it was said that Victoria looked heavier. I actually think the lighting is creating a shadow on the belly areas which is making some of them look bigger/rounder than they are.

I expect vet cuts at some point, whether auditions or training camp. I look at it this way - there are supposedly only 8 retirements. I think there will be a mass retirement in spring 2022 after a fairly normal season. K&J will not only be inclined to keep all the rookies reauditioning (now 2nd years), but will also want to bring in more than 8 rookies this summer so their 2022 team is stronger. 

[viccib]

Unfortunately, I don't think it's the lighting that's causing the muffin top on VK. when she stands normally there is a definite overhang on the front of the shorts. Now, not heavy by everyday standards but for a DCC?????

To me it looks like they are almost marking it, they had no spunk and agree without the jump split its just another dance, dare i say almost boring dance...

Around 1.50, is that Rachel W second in on the left who does the complete wrong move? I love Gina at point and have to admit, Marissa has more pop than most of them. Then again, some have been doing this same routine for 4-5 years, she's still a newbie!

The only thing I've ever thought Tess was excellent at was kicking.

Maybe the boyfriend is causing the weight gain? People do gain ( love handles lol) in new relationships. All those yummy dinner dates and drinks. Hope she tones it up  because I really don't want to sit through another storyline around Victoria's weight.

I will say this...as horrible as Season 15 was, I like this rookie class more than last year's. 

[LilyD]

I really struggle to see who is who in that Thunderstruck video... is that Gina at point? Can anyone put names on the dancers please?

The first picture of the banquet on this page (The one with Maddie in the middle): Their legs (and particularly those knees!)look horrible! As if they are badly swollen/injured. It may just be caused by their favorite pose with a bended leg or the lack of tights and nothing else, in which case I’d recommend different poses and definitely tights!

I think you're used to seeing them in pantyhose, and well this is what normal legs look like without.

I’m very curious what the suggested dress code for this was...there are at least four different parties covered by their outfits. Mackenzie, Sydney, Claire, the white pantsuit and maybe far right made sense to me.

Taylor's instagram story post.

Taylor, Daphne, Erin, Kristen, Claire D.

Were these girls in the same group? Or are they simply close? I was kinda surprised to see Claire D in this group just because I didn't know she was close with them.

Based on what some of the vets were wearing (who have attended this same event in the past), I think the only ones that really don't work/aren't appropriate are Armani and Jada, although I don't understand why some of the girls wear floor-length gowns - they look like they're going to prom. I also don't like Claire's, but that's a personal dislike for dresses with ruffles at the bottom, especially paired with such poofy sleeves.

[PicnicLife77]

Ellie's dress is freakishly short, too.

Honestly I feel like the only ones that got it right are Jessica, McKenzie, Alora and Sydney(girl in black). Everyone else's outfits are too short/long, ill fitting or ugly.

[Kamal]

I think I'm in the minority but I love Marissa's dress. Yes, it looks like a prom dress but is that not appropriate ?

[parrotfeathers]

Some of them don't look "DCC ready" for the uniform.

From this angle Armani looks like she's preggers in that horrible dress. Believe me, i'd love to look as good as these ladies but that is NOT a good angle...

I wasn't suggesting that women should conform in order to reduce the lust of men. I was suggesting the reverse. The hot pants movement of the past was born with a direct goal. Use women to lure men to games. And lets pay these women next to nothing. The intention was to exploit. So I do question why in 2021 we are still operating from that business model. We can chant female empowerment and celebrate the body - all we want but those cheerleaders are still there for a very viable economic and potentially exploitive reason. Now if they were paid more and they used a variety of costumes to enhance their dance/craft, I suppose I would think differently. And hey, maybe they love having the shortest of short shorts and if that's the case fine. To me though -every few years - I pause. And I think  it just all looks a little bit much when we know what the true intention was from the start. 

I think Washington holds the record for shortest shorts! lol

Hoping she continues to mature in her tiki tok stuff.  Hubby asked what tik tok was and I couldn't really explain it and just said it's something kids use.

Rachel W says “uh” and “um” so many times and she’s competed in pageants. Former TCC Gina Marie was very well spoken

Ok For those among us who believe that the white DCC-shorts are too short; They are actually quite modest compared to this...The outfit above is downright ridiculous and tasteless! For the girls it must be quite humiliating to have your ‘cheeks’ exposed like this!
