Something looks off in Maddie's eyes to me.  Like psycho eyes.  Many of the headshots this year look really bad. They age the girls.  Marissa really does look like some middle aged realtor as someone upthread mentioned.  It's flat out awful. 

I honestly thought you all were exaggerating until I took a look at the pictures...Yikes! Alanna’s looks good, and there are a few others that are fine, but otherwise....they would’ve been better off using pictures from the girls’ IG pages. I find it very hard to believe that they couldn’t get a better picture of Sydney for example.

In this case the personal pronoun is 'she'.

What the hell has she done to her own chest.

Back in 1920 when Tess joined the squad and East Texas Kelli had an 'one on one' with her during the uniform fittings, Kelli asked what she always asks and Tess confirmed it was a purchased enhancement (I am paraphrasing).

 

My question is

What the hell have they done to Armani's hair?

The one who parted her hair so severely should be punished with 2 days without internet.

Interesting. If that's the case, then I've got a list of girls who are bad at hair and makeup (IMO). I ignored foundation/concealer issues because I know the lighting was crap and that could've played a big factor. 

Makeup: Daphne (overly contoured nose), Kristin (way too much shadow), Lexie (shadow isn't blended out at all), and Lisa (way too heavy under the eyes).

Hair: Armani (center part), Tess (overly curled at the bottom so tips look super thin and fried), and Victoria (all tease and no other styling).

I also refuse to believe Alora-Rose did her own hair, as it was always kinda messy in TC and never looked that good.

Hi everyone, a regular lurker (and Hannah supporter) here! I don’t ever post but just wanted to give my input/perhaps some clarity into the photoshopping on Tess’s blouse/vest. 

<a href="https://ibb.co/fXpmXZ2"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/df2nfXr/528-BE041-B970-4414-A3-C6-3-AFD53-A84334.png" alt="528-BE041-B970-4414-A3-C6-3-AFD53-A84334" border="0"></a>

 

I hope the image above has worked... but I’ve outlined what I think is happening.
 

Black: the vest outlines and creases. I think Tess’s rather voluptuous chest is causing a bend in the fabric causing a shadow.

navy: the sleeve outline and folds/creases

purple: the boot behind, outlined to distinguish where the boot behind and the vest appear to blend in together to create a line showing the backdrop, when they really don’t. 
 

also, added a second red circle to show the same crease on the vest above. I hope this helps people clarify what they’re seeing, unless of course, I’m not seeing something else everyone else is?

In refrence to the team picture.  As a photographer with photo shop knowledge.  Note: girls behind kneelers have no legs at all.  The final team image not so great.

 

New poster, so bear with me learning the ropes.

 

Also Tyler P quit after rookie year, and there is a post on her IG indirectly directly about how everyone is different.  Odd.  Sorry, post closed for tcc.

Bless. Give this gal a brush! I don’t mind her makeup, but the hair is messy AF. Definitely prefer last year’s cameo. Would have been nice to have a stylist to do last minute, quick touch ups. Both parties masked, quick fluff and go.

Pluto is easy breezy and 100% free! Not on demand, but gets the job done in a pinch. I buy the season passes on iTunes because I don’t have cable, so I own most seasons, but still play Pluto as background noise sometimes.

Honestly, as terrible as some of these head shots are, I think the squad photo is totally fine for what they had to work with. I don't care that the photoshopping isn't the best. It's totally fine to most people's eyes, and at least it was done safely. 

The reason I'm not fine with the shoddy photoshopping is that editing is one of the few things completely unaffected by COVID regulations. Anyone with halfway decent skills wouldn't have left that huge white stripe. And each girl's edited photo should have been reviewed by the photographer and several people at the DCC (Kelli, Charlotte, etc.) which can be done with no contact at all through the magic of the internet. Everyone is safe when they're approving photos from the safety of their own home. The complete lack of attention to detail is WORLD CLASS.

Who do you think is most likely to retire out of these 3rd year veterans?

Useful = Taylor J

Laugh = Ashlee

Surprise = Jalyn

Sad = Cianna

Like = Alanna

Out of those ones? Jalyn's the easy choice for me. I get this sinking feeling that if she tries to return for a 4th season CMT and K&J will be chomping at the bit and cut her for a story line. She's already suffered enough in my opinion.

Other than that? I dunno. I'm starting to lose the will to care which is so sad to me. The off-season is usually the most fun because the core group of dedicated users usually come here and discuss at length over who's coming back, who's retiring and who's auditioning. And by the start of the audition process there will be "favorites" and such. Now however, at least for me, that fun is being stripped away thanks to this finasco of a season. I'm not trying to be rude or be too much of a buzzkill, BUT ... I just don't want to spend the off-season concerned about if someone is publicly drunk ... or sleeping around ... or ratting out teammates ... or being tone-deaf on world issues ... or, well I'm sure by now you get the idea.

*Sigh* Anyone feel like talking me off the ledge here? 🤷‍♂️😉

That's not actually Kristin's comment. Its some guy named Keenan. She did speak out but it was much more eloquent.

and tonight she posted on her official account how grateful she was to Charlotte, Kelli.... for allowing them to cheer this season - major kiss up post.

I really hope Maddie and Tess both retire this year.  I also hope it is Taylor J's last year too.  I find her to be so boring that I forget she is on the team.  I think this could be Rachel A's, Lexie, and probably Jalyn's last year.  If I was Savannah I would retire this year since she does get passed up on a lot.  But I agree this would be a crappy year to retire from for anyone considering it.

Anyone else think it is odd that TPTB has Jalyn going almost back to her rookie audition hair color? Which they hated!  Unless it is just the photography.

I completely understand where you're coming from, but at the same time I think that this year's off-season will be extremely telling as far as each girl's character. They really aren't doing any group appearances, so any visibility through the next few months will be solely through social media, and I for one think that the conversations on this board will be very interesting. Will there be some questionable posts from some of the ladies? Absolutely, but there are also some real class acts on the team still (despite us losing three of the biggest) that I think we'll enjoy watching through the next couple of months. I also think we're kind of divided on the retirement front - some people think lots will leave due to the disorganization and injustices from this year and some think next to no one will leave because they would want a better final year, so the discussions about that will be fun. Also, considering that the show was aired so late we've only got four months to go until auditions, so I don't think it'll be that bad!

Well, Kelly seemed to pick on Kristen, and Brianna a lot.  On body shape and dancing.  I thought since she chopped Brennan, Hannah, and Lily (my fav)and Meredith.  That she was picking the people who were next on her list.  Both of them were towards the bottom 36.  I will say this, Lily may not have been the strongest dancer, but she made the least amount of mistakes, and lots of other girls on the team are captured with the O mouth expression on their faces.  Season 14 she picked on Lily's expression.

Some observations...Their hairstyles are all the same.  Tess looks like she’s had a boob job.  Alora Rose isn’t very photogenic. Chandi is too pretty to be stuck so far back. The blonde girl on the right back row has hair straight out of the 60’s. 

I thought they used to be arranged by most seniority with rookies in back.  Why are some 2nd year vets put before some 3rd or 4th year vets?  Or are they arranged vet favorites, to least then rookies?

Thank you for such a wonderful and well-written response! Perhaps I was a bit harsh. Or maybe just cranky from work! 😂.

Either way the points you've made are very good and of course I will keep my eyes open to see just how many retirements we get this year.

And yes! Thank you for mentioning that there is still some real class acts. Looking back at my original comment I think I was just upset with the Brennan and Hannah cuts  I forgot this is a team of 36, not two!

I think there are so many unknowns for 2021 and so it will be interesting to watch where the spin goes.

It seems that casual viewers bought the show hook line and sinker and so ratings were up and therefore definitely another season on TV. Will they do another 2 week accelerated version? To me its interesting that the 2 week version essentially invalidates their need for a 10 week version. So which way will they go? If they go longer, does that invalidate the 2 week audition they just had?

 Also I do agree that it's so hard to read right now with which way the vets are going to go. They seem to be rallying behind the power of the star - several are doing dance classes and off shoots that are dependent on good recommendations and social media. So I don't see a mass exodus at all.

If so many girls return, will there be another veteran bloodbath? Hard to tell. Maybe Kelli will make that an annual part of the show now or maybe they'll return to a more traditional soft cut at finals. Perhaps she sees this season as a major success?

Point being - a lot of questions going forward.

For the most part, the back row consists of all rookies. The "knockouts" regardless of year tend to move up to the front quickly. I think with the cutting and pasting done this year, a few of the gals (from among the ones in a standing position) ended up in different places from where they might have stood had it been done live.

RE: the off-season updates..

I guess I too am a buzz-kill as I am not interested in a DCC who goes out to dinner with whom, who goes to a wedding. who is looking at a sunset, who is walking their dog, who went to Sephora/Ulta to buy lipstick, and posts on IG... That is what they are supposed to do offseason - live life, their best life.

Depending upon local rules regarding the virus - the 2020- 2021 offseason day-to-day life update could either explode (look a DCC is at the club) or be like watching paint dry (look a DCC is in yoga pose with her fav candle burning).

I just wish this thread was a little more organized, so it can be more useful for those of us that do pop-in  and pop-out off season and want an DCC update. Like an index of some kind to commonly asked questions - like who is retiring.  And a place for images. There are times when this thread can become IG-reincarnated images (mostly of daily life; some several screens long), with a discussion that makes other DCC topics to hard to find. I missed out on a few announcements/decisions/key topics b/c I didn't know how the discussion started . I had gotten to the point last season of writing down page numbers, as the thread had grown to 170+ pages.

Victoria's cameo photo is from her Instagram account. Some of the girls posted their cameo photos on Instagram.

Honestly I am still waiting for DCC to post them on the website, but it's starting to look like they are not going to....which is BS if you ask me.

People definitely are still upset and voicing their opinions on social media. Some are implying that Brennan was referencing race when she said the direction the team is taking.  Most agree Hannah was more ignorant and giving a bitch attitude the whole time.  Overall, most opinions reflect Brennan and Hannah got outperformed.  Saw a lot of opinion that Lily came across as unprepared and had the gull to ask if there was anything else she could do.  Many feel Lily showed her best and didn’t measure up.  Most people believe the best 36 made the team and the vets should have bowed out gracefully.

Its reflective of the exact storyline and messaging the show hoped to deliver. I think its unfair but gotta admit Kelli is quite savvy to know her audience.
