Rachel Wyatt is a WOC? Rachael the current DCC Ms America runner up Rachel? Really? Not trying to be funny bc she looks so very basic and white to me, this coming from a blonde with green eyes!

She may have said this because Rachel Yuki Wyatt is part Japanese.

Rachel Wyatt is a WOC and she is point, Jenna was a WOC and was briefly point.

Selina, Alanna, Elli, Simone, Cianna, Yuko, Kristin, Lisa, Jessica and Jessika, Lacey are all Asian or Latino and those are just from the past years!

Truly you can never know someone’s full heritage by looking at them - I have auburn hair and the palest skin ever, yet my entire biological paternal family are Native American enough to live on a reservation. I have a friend who could pass for just about any ethnicity with brown hair and fair skin (Italian? Mexican? Irish?) but her fully bio sister has more of the features of their actual heritage, which is middle eastern (and has been called a terrorist a million times because some people are giant assholes.)  There are also the twins I see on social media all the time where one has dark skin and the other fair skin/red hair. Genetics are weird. 

A lot of the women listed above do not have common features of some of the ethnicities in their heritage. So as far as representation goes, I don’t know that a little girl whose parents immigrated from Asia would point at Rachel as someone who looks like her like she might have with Alyssa or Yuko or Joanna. Doesn’t change Rachel’s family history, but also doesn’t represent the “bouquet” so to speak. 
 

For what it’s worth, @filishtay - Jacie is my all time prettiest DCC too.  Her and Nicole Bulcher. Abigail Klein is very pretty, but looks like 1000 other ladies I graduated with at TCU so doesn’t stand out for me. We all have our preferences to be sure.

I agree. I am all for women representing their various ethnicities and heritages. It is refreshing to not have 36 very blonde, obviously fully European caucasian women. However, when we are looking at extending and advancing a diversity inclusion program, I'm not sure Rachel being 1/4 Japanese is all that important. Certainly not taking this identity away from her or saying it's not important. It is. But this really doesn't advance the important issues regarding inequality in the the black and brown communities.

My paternal grandfather was Scot/Irish/English descent...6'3" sandy blond hair, blue eyes, very fair...my grandmother was pure Welsh...4'11" black hair, black eyes, light olive skin...they had 8 of the strangest looking kids you ever saw...every hair & eye color combination, including 2 redheads (one gray eyes, the other russet brown eyes), 3 blonds (2 light eyes, 1 brown eyes), 2 dark hair, dark eyes & one black hair/black eyes...and all their heights were different, the 5 men 5-7 to 6-3, the 3 women 4-10 to 5-7...fair skin, darker skin, freckles/no freckles...you just never know what tricks genetics has up its sleeve.

Yes! Nicole Bulcher looks like a goddess and she does not know how to age. Abigail Klein I think was super pretty for her time as DCC like 2007 - 2009. She had the cute southern All-American girl look and was definitely one of the prettiest blondes compared to the other ones on the team with her. She couldn’t compete looks wise with today’s girls. Put 2008 Abigail to Lexie- hell even Kelcey- girlfriend will drown. If you put her on the team now, she’d almost be a blender. The funny thing is that Abigail looks younger now than she did in her DCC days.

I wonder if there are common features in ethnicities.

WOC, white, hispanic, asian: all kinds of pigeonholes that are so inaccurate, that they make no sense.

If there are whites that are not white (Rachel Yuki Wyatt), if there are hispanics that don’t speak Spanish, if there are Asians that don’t look like each other, then these words don’t make any sense.

Just my opinion but I never thought Lexie was remotely attractive She's so generic. Her hair is wayyyyyy over processed, too long & dare I say she has harsh features. Is she ugly not at all is she the prettiest blonde in DCC history not by a long shot. . I think Abigail and Kelsey are on the same level just different hair colors. But who am I if Lexie looked at me she'd probably define my flaws too...

This is why I was hoping she might retire. It's the same harsh look that does not change, and she is always out front. She's a solid dancer and DCC, for sure. But I was hoping for some change up - same old, same old - it's an old look now. Guess that will now have to wait until 2022, if even then??

thanks for pointing that out, she is a solid dancer, i was hoping she'd retire as well... along that line, I taught a Spin class until covid closed the gyms. I taught every Saturday for 14 years. Every now and then I would say to the group, if you ever tire of me, please tell me I never want to be the one who stays too long to the party... ahem...

I went to high school with the Madisyn girl. She used her 2014/15 high school senior photos for a 2017 audition where her hair was blonde. She said on a IG live months after the episode premiered that the only reason why she didn’t make it past the first round was because of her photo and that she learned a lesson from the difference a two year old photo makes. She also said the same thing in her live that the girl in the YouTube video said on how Phil has the girls cheer 4-5 times really loud for the cameras. 
 

In the YouTube video, the girl talks about how there was this one fake girl who wasn’t nice, but once she was on camera she acted all nice and sweet. She wouldn’t say who it was but it was someone who made it past the first round at least my guess was that it’s Gina or Julia.

I love Lexie and I was hoping that if Maddie should share point with anyone this past year, it’d be her. I never wanted Maddie to share point to begin with. I hope point goes to Lexie. Rachel W got it too soon and she’s proven that other girls can do it better than she can like Gina, Lexie, Amber, Ashlee, and Caroline. Maddie and Tess should retire which leaves room for Lexie and Gina to be group leaders and 2 4th year girls as the other group leaders. Also, I was hoping more 3rd year girls from 2018 rookie class would retire. I know many must feel that they had a bullshit year so they’d wanna do another normal year, but still had this been a normal year more of them would retire after the 3rd year mark. The upcoming team will have 9 4th year girls and that’s too many. It’ll be like the 2011 season and the 2015 season where they’ll be too many 4th year girls due to their big rookie classes and there’ll be conflict for who should be 2nd GL. For a normal year, I’d retire Amber, Ashlee, Cianna, Daphne, Erin, Jalyn, and Taylor.

It bugged me that they were acting like she was being "shady" because she looked different on her picture. So what? If that were me, I guess Kelli would call me shady too, you damn well better believe I'd be using the best picture I could find!

She gives off attention whore energy anyway. She is absolutely auditioning again. She has nothing better to do. Her & many of the other 4-5 plus year dancers who need to give it a rest.

How does she give off "attention whore energy"?

True, but given what I know about Madisyn, she’s always taking pictures, she could’ve easily gotten even a professionally taken updated picture for then.

Maybe it's just the kind of guy I am, but I can never understand the wishing for any girl to retire. I understand having girls who aren't necessarily your favorite, but these girls are all passionate about dancing, and if they're enjoying themselves and not causing trouble, I say more power to them, and hope they dance/remain on the team as long as they want to.

I'm  not a fan of her ... in any shape form or fashion.  I don't think she's ugly but other than her over processed hair ... she doesn't have any standout features and is just average both in looks and dance...But there are several on the current squad like that so she fits in well.

I 90% agree with you on this...I think occasionally there’s just a cheerleader that’s given prominence and it doesn’t make sense. Maddie is a fan favorite and I think she’s a lovely cheerleader and human, but didn’t make sense why she was point. It would have made more sense if she was given the Jinelle treatment. Group leader, show group, didn’t hit the triangle. Amy too.

Ehhhh...I think we saw with Yuko and Meredith that TPTB will take 37 if they’re motivated. I think they had their own reasons to boot the veterans and it’s wasn’t to get a rookie on the team. And honestly, for those rookies that haven’t been drinking the DCC kool-aid their whole lives and relocated from Florida, California or Atlanta (or anywhere, really) I don’t blame them one bit for checking a box off their bucket list and calling it good.

And point girl Rachel mess-up the kick line in this video too. Of course we all know that people make mistakes. No problem.  Just the MTT show is so irritating when they zoom in on the mistakes of only the girls  they want to cut. MTT would never show beloved Rachel messing up a live performance.

I loved to see Gina as point; she really is an amazing dancer. However, I do think I see what some people mean with her facials (though the video is not that clear). I can see those awkward facials being an issue for a point girl, particularly on that huge screen...
