such a tease! I do picture Kitty and Melissa coordinating these Instagram releases.  Melissa has snarked about the "fan pages" and said how she likes teasing secrets. Whatever floats I guess.

She can't handle what people say about her so she's playing a childish game... about what I'd expect 😂

(heck, I'd take bios on the returning 1st-year vets because I don't even really know any of them)

Especially since Gina and Lexie aren’t getting any younger and are probably on their last season, the 3rd-year vets can’t hang on forever and the 2nd-year vets only have HALF (half!!!) of their class left!

I think I counted 40 so just 4 more cuts? Still looks like a lot of blonde to me (I know the pic is blurry).

Well considering the fact that the are only 9 blondes on the vets side, it is safe to say that Kelli wants more blondes on the team. Personally I don't care as long as they are good dancers and are decent individuals. But from the picture it is safe to say that Ashley is still there and maybe Tyra as well

Now what I want to know is if we are getting any dramatic makeovers where a blonde goes brunette or red. I feel like the last time we had that was with Loren. 

Hopefully none of the girls listed below have been cut. This is my rookie class of 2021 based solely on looks alone. 

1. Ashley
2. Ashlinn
3. Christina
4. Jordan
6. Kaydianna
7. Madeline
8. Megan
9. Tori
10. Tyra
11. Klein or Jensen (still can't decide)

Ashley is one of the few I actually want to make it. I don't know a lot about any of the rookies but she has such a unique, fun look! 

They did makeovers today....I hope they don't change Ashley's hair.

I do wonder how many calendars get sold to family and friends. Also, I wonder how marketable the sideline calendar, as a more family friendly alternative to the swimsuit calendar, is to young dancers/cheerleaders. 

I hope this doesn't sound naive but just based on this forum (where it seems to me that most people are interested in the cheerleaders as dancers and as people) I think DCC would benefit by acknowledging that there are also a lot of fans interested in the cheerleaders for reasons besides sex appeal. 

That doesn't sound naive to me at all. I for one enjoy hearing about what the cheerleaders are doing in regards to their activities (school, charities, ect), dance background and their backstories. I can appreciate their beauty and do think it's fun to watch their makeovers or see their calendar shoots, but I don't think their physical beauty should be the only things that are worthy of people's attention. Focusing the calendar on their dance skills or even their interests would certainly be a family friendly alternative & inspiring to young dancers to let them know that they have more value then just how they look.

Well, then MRS is not gonna wanna read that she needs to lay off the fillers and Botox. I didn’t even recognize her at first in Kittys picture. Her skin is stretched and shiny. She just looks unnatural. This is coming from someone who gets fillers and Botox and someone who doesn’t mind her in the “Mentor” capacity. I was actually more critical of her when she was on the team, she was such a goofball and never took anything seriously. I think I’m one of the few who likes her better now. 

Kitty looks exactly the same as she did 16 years ago. 
 

Kitty needs a makeover desperately her hair has always been a sight but now it’s baaaaaaaaad…

Actually I think another poster has it right re 14 being Kat, not Alora Rose 

[Lynnbo]

Just guessing here, but I think if they stick to a team of 36 they will cut Jensen, Christina, Megan, Kelee and Ava.  (I believe Jordann and Lea were cut before show group judging.) 
Although Ava appears to be in the top 36, my guess is they might do what they did to Tori and cut her because she’s yet another blonde.

Noooooooo I really wanted Jordann to make it she’s stunning!

Hmmm I'd be shocked if Marissa weren't top 36, she must be one of the ones who can't be discerned.

[Tuxcat]

I know the rumor is that Jordan and Leah were cut - but I sort of feel like Leah may have been saved for a "makeover helped her" story.  Complete guess though.

Yes!  Ashlee is not mentioned either. I am guessing this is their ranking after the finals audition and since they’ve been in training camp, so this doesn’t mean top 16 will make show group.

Leah reminds me a bit of Jinelle whose makeover changed her look from so-so to awesome.  I also have been thinking she would be the “makeover” target.  I guess we will have to see.

The clamp down seems especially silly since the show's premiere is after the start of football season. Anyone interested in spoilers will easily figure out the roster regardless of leaks.

The only reason I'm interested in certain reality shows is because of the spoilers. To go all marketing-speak, these other shows understand that part of their staying power is a multi-platform community. They officially condemn leaks but understand that the podcasts, vlogs, and fandoms that result from leaks and rumors are a main aspect of their popularity and they adjust the show editing accordingly. It's not just about the show, it's about building and encouraging a community centered around the show.

Season 14 was a ratings success for DCC and CMT. I'm curious what the ratings were like for season 15 when the online community was so unhappy.

Agree with everything here, but just wanted to touch on that bolded part. One of the main frustrating things for me these past years/seasons is that there really HAS been a community centered around the show. Most (I hope at least lol) of us here want to see these ladies succeed and be built-up, not teared down (Hannah, Brennan, Lily) or belittled (Kristin).

To the editors of the show: If you spend a whole season, or seasons in the case of some (Ex. Brennan) showing us how "classy, mature and well-educated" these women are, then we will assume that they ARE "classy, mature and well-educated" women. Therefore, if you treat them horribly and try to make us believe otherwise? Yeah, we don't want to see that. And thus the "community" will turn against it. 

Hope I'm making sense.

Gina looks great in this performance.  I do not find her too jokery.  At. All.

IF they must have (2) points, I hope TPTB give Gina the meatier, 2nd point.  She will do a stellar job and Girl has earned it.

They need to get back into the rhythm of things. A few obvious mistakes (Rachel W. wrong arm). Rachel's expressions compared to Gina's expressions. Hmm. Somewhere in the middle of the two prototypes would be perfect. 

 Kickline looked tough but probably the floor was shaky or slippery or something. Caroline seemed to struggle much more than I remember seeing before. 

Lastly I really think the shorts would look less like diapers if they just lengthened the hem a touch.

Wow, Ashley has great kicks! Gina over the top sure but that's bc she's dancing next to Rachel---pretty vacant, there is something so dull in her eyes even when she's performing but she's pretty so there's that...

It would be nice if they'd do the show in semi-real time, as in airing a week or two after it really happens. I understand Kelli wants to control the narrative too much (and can't go back & change things to fit her preferred narrative) if it was airing as camp was happening, but come on, airing it starting in late August is just stupid. The season is half over before the show reveals the team (and people complaining about spoilers when they're already out performing -- just . . . "no words.")
