I think Marissa and Claire get along fine.  I don’t think Marissa goes out as often with the other girls and spends more time with Tanner. So they may not be as close or appear as cliquey when that’s not the case. 

I wasn’t referring to her and Marissa acting cliquey.  I was saying I feel like that rookie class is cliquey.

Wasn’t Kristin at the doctor? Could should be injured?

Kristin is one that posts/promotes often the Dynamic Sports Med place the DCC go to. She may have a shoulder injury, old or new, not sure.

I have a feeling the injured DCC is Taylor and Lisa is the one who quit that they may spin to make it look like she was cut.

 

 

I also wondered it might be Taylor with the injury. This was on her IG today and it shows her with her left leg entirely bowed holding all the weight of her body and her right knee flexed with no weight on that leg. I know tall girls (like me) will bend their knees to not be the tallest in the photo, but it is how she bowed her left leg that looks weird to me. Why stand like that with no weight on your right leg?

Edit: she might actually be using her left arm to balance herself as well.

So I think injury is either Taylor j or Kristin And the one that walked away I’m saying alora rose

Alora Rose posted today referencing national tequila day in a photo with Darian, then in the same outfit she posted a selfie tagging herself in Tulum, Mexico. I know Tulum is close to Texas but I don't think she is there. I think she is just playing with the internet lurkers 🤷‍♀️

Maybe she's really there for a quick vacation getaway.

Yes true, But you go to Tulum and post a bathroom selfie? Not a sprawling white sand beach, stunning sunset, or majestic Mayan ruins? I love Tulum, I can't imagine only going for a day or two. But maybe it's different in Texas since it is close.

I’ve always wanted to go to tulum hopefully after this global pandemic is over I’ll get a chance to go

From Chandi’s IG, I don’t think Gina looks particularly thin in this pic I think she looks great. Her arms aren’t stickly yes her abs are sculpted but so we’re Lauren’s. She’s not filtered & photoshopped here, thoughts…

Chandi is a dead set doll 🥰

This photo proves how much magic Kelli can work in the uniform with the right bra and the right knot!

Kylie is back in California according to Insta so she may be a rookie cut.

All the others seem to be eating pizza together in Dallas.

Also isn't showgroup in Oxnard so it should be easy to figure out who's missing from last year?

[parrotfeathers]

Flog me with 20 lashes from a wet noodle.  But I don't think Rachel is dull at all. She's not a Gina but she's not dull.

I think that if you stripped her of all the artificial glam - the extensions, teeth, lashes, etc. she'd be very boring, but she's so photo ready that it makes up for it. Those short legs kill me. Her appearance is 75% of her talent, but that's what they need for the opening point. Her technique isn't bad, and most people aren't going to get past the WOW she's a stunner and look at her showmanship.

Not sure if it is possible to top that. 

[Opine]

As the show opens, Kelli is in the underground parking deck wearing her skin tight blue saran wrap dress doing her best Vanna White imitation as she introduces.......what?  a bus!!!! In comes a bus!  We see it only from the front, then it turns sideways and the bus is covered in LEMONS!!!!  The doors open and there stands our very special own legacy - VK - in uniform!  And she says, "Hey Lemonbus", this one's for you.  I didn't take a break, I am back!!!!!"  Then we see the first episode and at the end the camera goes to the subway - scenes similar to what we saw yesterday from Jalyn.  The doors open and who is there in a glowing blue dress?  Jalyn!  Holding a sign that says "Gooodbye Dr. Manhattan, been nice knowing you!!!"

I think the single girls tend to go out a lot more but I don’t think they are cliquey.  
 

Just to clarify, I also know you weren’t saying that Marissa and Claire was cliquey.  What you said was they didn’t get along.  I don’t believe that to be true.  That’s what I’m saying.  You misunderstood me.

Marissa is under 21 as well, right?

This is the 2020 SG + McKenzie.  So if someone got cut from 2021 SG, they are likely in this group.

Sadly, Kristin should be counting her blessings if she's leaving due to injury. It would not surprise me one iota for KF to get down to 37 girls, then cut Kristin for the drama of cutting a vet to make a team of 36. Kristin has always been one of the weakest on the team and since no vets have been cut, I'd say she's at the top of the vulnerability list.

[dccfan204]

I wouldn’t be totally shocked if the SG cut was Marissa. I remember seeing a tiktok of her messing up once

[DCC-UK]

I'm not sure anyone got cut from SG, epsecially when they're all in Cali (the ones that are still on the squad from last year). McKenzie was basically in SG last year anyway, doing most performances. Would you take someone who was cut on a trip across the country, only when they return you're telling them 'no thank you'? I'm excited to see who the new 4 are though! 

[Tarode]

I've watched to videos from Oxnard several times. My eye is always drawn to Marissa. I noticed several other things - why is Kelcey so hidden in both of these? I think she is a hidden gem. Also, I do like that a few of the girls are moved from front to back. I'm also curious as to why Claire is so hidden? I get it's a bide your time type of situation, but that girl can dance and she seems to have toned down and is looking to be in better shape - not that I thought she was in bad shape before, just fuller figured in comparison to their "standards".

I completely agree about Kristin, if she's the one who leaves due to injury. I can't believe she survived all of training camp. I thought for sure she was going to be a drama cut. I like her its no disrespect but tptb clearly seem to have issue with her...

As for retired Amy being boring, how did she even make training camp? Wasn't she friends or trained with a former DCC? I've always felt thats how she made it. She may be a great dancer but I'd never know because I've never even noticed her dance. Well, until she was forced down our throats at co-point & then it was obvious why I never noticed her. I'm sure she's a lovely lady with some dance technique but YAWNNNNNNNNNN...

[Tuxcat]

If anyone from 2020 SG is not on 2021 show group its probably because they chose to leave due to time commitments or they were cut because they missed too many performances last year. But we don't really know if this information is correct - it was reddit information I believe and not LB.

I also think Kelli will take 37 this year. Supposedly two vets left for injuries (Daphne + 1), it would make sense to not cut all the way down to 36.

[VT0904]

found this posted on another group. So happy for Jalyn if this is correct!!

group 1 gl Lexie 2nd Ashlee

group2 gl Gina 2nd Erin

group 3 gl Rachel 2nd Amber

group 4 gl Caroline 2nd Jalyn

Stolen from Reddit.  These are evidently the group leaders and seconds.  I don't know how true this is or how "official" it is.

Does anyone else feel it’s a huge gamble to not have any 3-year vets? 😳 in general there’s so few 5-year vets, what are the odds *four* of them come back for a fifth-year?

I agree. I can see Amber, Ashlee, and Caroline coming back but they might have to put someone as a 1st group leader that hasn't been a 2nd next year.

Good for Jalyn though! Hopefully this means she's also back on show group

She messed up during the Six Flags appearance. There saying she messed up during the Cali camp but I personally don’t see her messing up. I see her glancing at the girls but I don’t see a mess up. Idk

OMG YES JALYN! I’m shocked that Kelcey isn’t a second

Right? At most you will get 2-3 of these DCC back next year. I highly doubt 4. There are rarely any 5th or 6th years, so it is possible they will get none of these 8…..

I kinda expect Gina to be back, she seems to love it. Amber and Ashlee are fun to watch, I don’t tire of them. I like Caroline and Erin but wouldn’t miss them and it would be nice to see new people out front. Lexie and Rachel - it’s time to retire (past time, really)! Jalyn, she’s an outlier, we are all rooting for her, so if she wants to do year 5, I hope she does 😀

Hopefully Chandi and Kelsey will return and be group leaders, they seem more than capable.

We forgot Victoria will have her big return. Kelli is probably already planning on it and will give her a first group leader spot.

Yes! Justice for Jalyn! She and Ashlee were my two favorites from their rookie year (so happy to see Ashlee as 2GL too). IDK if the rumors about Jalyn getting on VK's bad side were true, or if KF just wanted the drama of cutting Jalyn from SG... whatever the reason, it was wrong. Jalyn has always been a SG-level dancer. I'm so happy for her that she's now officially in a leadership role. I'm also going to consider this an admission of wrongdoing and a full apology from KF because I know this is the closest that we'll ever get to that.

I find all eight leaders this season to be well-rounded and great dancers. For the most part, good ambassadors too … 

HOWEVER
 

… I’m a bit sad there are no third-years included.I felt Kelcey and Chandi would’ve fit in nicely there. I also feel this can be interpreted as K&J begging many 4th-years to return. Which, if so disappoints me. Sooner or later they’re gonna have to start planning for the future.

You do if you need the body -- you need 12 people & that person knows all the routines, etc. -- you (Kelli) use them until you've got no use for them (or your last use is a cut to create drama).

Or, the Oxnard trip & who was going (what routines in what formations, etc.) was planned before SG auditions -- easier to take that person then re-do everything at the last minute.

This class seems a little clicky to me. 

I agree that the S15 rookies seem cliquey, but I think that's because Claire, Dani, Elli, and Jessica, seem like really good friends, and the rest of their rookie class doesn't seem super close to each other or to the more tenured DCC.

 It kind of makes sense that those 4 would be so close bc they all finished up school in 2020/2021 (although so did Armani...). Also, in general the S15 rookies had a super short training camp and relatively few appearances (maybe none besides show group? I'm not sure), so it would make sense that their class isn't as connected to the rest of the team.
