They probably charter.  My sister flew for Northwest (when it existed) and she did NFL charters all the time, and rock stars.  But they had to sign non disclosure agreements to work those flights.

Hannah is someone who strikes me as one who will continue to dance on pro cheer as long as her body holds out, even once she's fully in her career.  I have a very dear friend who did it almost until she was 40, because it motivated her to stay in shape.  And she did it with a very intensive full time job. 

Like Lauren - worked a full time, stressful job as a nurse, but was able to work out, dance, spend time with friends, travel, etc.  Why not do both if you can?

I was a flight attendant for United. I did a lot of NFL and MLB charters, but we never signed NDAs.  Charters are for the actual team. The cheerleaders fly commercial.

And I've especially never seen anyone give Jada 'hate.' I see people saying she kinda sticks out like a sore thumb sometimes..but of course she's beautiful. She reminds me of Brianna from season 12, who looked like a 'tall little girl.' She just looks so young to me. Like, no curves for the uniform whatsoever. She looks more like a model than a DCC

I agree. If you're going to be that tall and stick out, you should be a great dancer. Jada is unfortunately average

I also don’t get the comments saying there’s hate for the 2nd years.  I may not be a fan of one or two but I don’t feel we’ve had a chance to know them like in previous years.

I agree. I've never gotten a sense of "hate" for the 2nd years. I just think that, due to a combination of things like last season being rushed, the focus on the weaker vets, and the fact that the girls were wearing masks most of the time, the rookies were not really standing out as much as they have in previous seasons. That made it hard for viewers to connect with them. As someone who doesn't regularly follow the cheerleaders on social media, the show (and until the last few seasons, the DCC & CMT accounts that used to post audition pics and videos) was how I got reminded who was who. Thankfully due to these forums, I'm starting to recall names & details of the 2nd year vets.

I'm starting to see Claire as a future point.

She's transformed herself in a year.

3 more years and I could see her as point.

[Lona]

Team Chandi all day, every day!

I soooo hope she stays another year. Would do so well in leadership and even in the front triangle I think. :)

Khalyn is one of my all-time faves too. I would have loved to see her at point if she had stayed (over the Maddie/Amy duo).

You are not the first I’ve heard express this sentiment.  The other person was a previously hard core Brennan fan.

 

Who’s Grant?

[MirabelMadrigal]

Slightly off topic: I'm still Team Brennan. I love that she's somewhat sassy and silly with her boyfriend and friends. I adore her friendship with Cianna, Brianna, and Alanna-they are all in Hawaii together right now.

On topic: Anyone hear if Madeline S. made it? Was it ever confirmed that the reason that Amanda left was because of an NFL vaccine mandate?

There is one cut we don’t know abt it’s never been reveled 

[onthebubble]

There’s a reason why we still talk about Mackenzie Lee, Auto Amy, 50 yard Kelsey, Vivian etc etc all these years later. The show chose (for whatever reason) to focus on a few TCC each year and we got to know them and their personality. To me, last years show felt very rushed to me and almost like they tried to cover all the girls and in doing so we lost the connection to the special few but in doing so made them less memorable. The masks, dancing socially distant and just the 2020 life in geberal obviously didn’t help to get that connection. 
 

Was training camp this year like last year in a bubble or was it like the previous years in the studio?

Is this whole Brennan thing on her Instagram? I don’t see anything that bothers me - all I see is too many posts about her BF but that doesn’t bother me. Have the things you’re talking about been deleted or in stories and I missed it? I’m confused but I’m still huge fan!

There are only two plausible explanations:

1. She's photoshopping, to which TPTB should immediately intervene.

2. She's truly that thin, to which TPTB should immediately intervene.

No way should DCC allow someone that looks like this to be photographed in that uniform.

Who knows, Kat finally took classes before the season and came back all powerful.

However, there is something about Kat we all can see and that is her ability to interact (not necessarily limited to talking) with people. Fun is her middle name.

Also, we should all be very careful to listen to Kelli talk about SG and assume that what Kelli says is actually true. SG is not a world class dancing team, but rather a collection of girls Kelli puts her trust in to represent DCC. Some past and current members were never world class dancers.

Or she's breathing in as that photo was taken and also stretching up which automatically pulls your stomach in. Yes she's thin but I see no issue with this post.

Maybe Erin had a time conflict with being in show group so she didn’t try out? I can’t see her not making it.

[Lona]

My gosh, this is just ... actually so much to take in! 

FOLLOWING IS ALL PERSONAL OPINION OF COURSE 😉: 
 
Gina being (a) point. Tori making showgroup. BOTH Ashlee and freaking Chandi in a front formation. Seven WOC in showgroup. 

Let it be known. I still remain very frustrated and angry at many of the decisions made last season by Kelli Finglass. And I'm not going to pretend that this pre-season has been 100% enjoyable for me, what with spoilers kept secret, and I don't agree with every decision revealed tonight. Kat on SG and Erin left out is kind of 🥴 to me, but I digress.

I welcome MANY of these recent developments, and if this is some odd way for TPTB to say "sorry, but we're trying," then I feel it would be wrong for me to at least not acknowledge it. 

I know I'm only speaking for myself, but maybe just maybe some of last season's wounds are finally starting to heal.

Kat on showgroup and Erin not, isn't really that surprising to me. Showgroup don't really do any other dances than the ones they already know, they aren't doing 1hr long shows for USO tours anymore. Once they get the dances downpat, it's all about power and Kat gives that. Erin is a little blah to me. 

I'm so happy Chandi and Ashlee are in the triangle.

I know people will roast me for making this comment but I wanted either Ellie or Dani over Jayln for SG.

Dani is the next Rachel in beauty!! (But with better eyes!)

No, it’s not photo shopped, she really seems to be that thin. See the DCC post by DCC Oracle on page 53….. and frankly, I am worried…..

Just saw the episode yesterday with Jalyn running to the locker room.  Glad she has been forgiven for her "unprofessional" (per Kelli) behavior.  Kelli was really in a snit over that.

All of this. It hasn’t been all of the best dancers for a while now, and probably never was. But she’s always going to pick up the best known as soon as she can for appearances sake. Sometimes they’re also dancers with some pop (Maddie, Kashara) but also those that have the Instagram followers and are fan favorites (VK, Kat.)
 

I’m willing to bet some of the more popular DCC are requested by name (“oh I just love the show and was soooo happy VK/Maddie/etc. made it! Please tell me she’ll be there!”) and it makes sense to have them on SG.  

Any decent marketing person is going to want the faces people know to get the most bang for their appearance buck. And thus some will be “rewarded” with show group despite not being technically trained.
