After last year, nothing surprises me. Kelli would rather have rookies who have yet to prove themselves over veterans who have earned the right to wear the uniform and actually want to be there.

But Kelli McGonagill Finglass has the big, fancy marketing degree and I don't, so she obviously knows what's best.

I will never be over the fact that Kat has had at least three seasons on the team, and Brennan and Hannah each only got two.

Myself as well. Maggie definetly one of my all time favorites. Unfortunately I stopped watching after VKs 1st try cuz I cudnt stand the nepotism so didn’t get to see Bridget that next year and then she was gone.

Kat, Brennan, Hannah, Maggie, Bridget… 

Let this sink in: Amy did five years, was point and got pro bowl.

[Lindsay Loo Hoo]

I will never be over the fact that Lisa made the team to begin with.

I understand why she got pro-bowl (I think the teammates vote for who goes to it and Amy was probably a locker room favorite) but I would never understand why she got point when there were other girls that were better dance wise and looks wise than her. 

[kalibean]

Amy is cute as a button, mature, reliable, and absolutely should have been on the sides. Like poor Jinelle, who I think has a lot more sparkle than Amy. She’s technically fine, just lacked that little something extra. 
 

It was like Maddie/Amy was a giant wholesome correction from the higher drama yet much better dancer mess of Erica/Jenna/Holly. I know Kashara filled it in, but at least she was fun. And I was still shocked AF she got triangle, much like she was 😂

Deleted because I got my thoughts wrong.  It was Kashara that said isn't that cute.  Well no it wasn't.

I'll never be over the fact they didn't let Auto Amy have her year and then told her not to reaudition.  She would have been a wonderful ambassador for the brand.

The Amy that said  "Isn't that cute" when she and Maddie were on the phone about being co-points?   Cause that's how I identify her.

Kashara said that

Well Amy was on the phone with Kashara telling her about being made point. Then she mentioned that Maddie would share it with her. Kash said "cute"

No problem. Although some people do think that Amy was "smug" after she got point. Lol I didn't see it, but they still comment about that. Not that Amy was my favorite or anything, but idk

All of this!!! I will always be sad when I think of Auto Amy being dragged until the end only to be cut. She is an absolute doll I follow her on Instagram & we have a running chat going nothing big but a lot of what she posts in her stories totally resonates with me. I cried so hard when she was cut.

And yet Kat is in her 3rd year why bc she’s pretty & “fun” I can’t get over that bc I don’t find her fun I find her goofy, fun persona exhausting & thirsty… wow how do I really feel! 

Funny thing I have no strong feelings at all about last years rookie class or this years no attachment at all…

To me this means:

Guest choreographer endorsement = dancing

Group Leader endorsement = personality 

Remember when Kashara wouldn’t give her sticker to Victoria in Season 13. She said it because of the way Victoria acted sometimes, specifically what Victoria would say (I always wondered what Kashara was referring to specifically but we know we’ll never get those details. They are buried deep into Kelli’s cleavage). 

We’ve had a couple of different posters on here say the stickers are for show theatrics only so 🤷🏻‍♀️. I think that’s fairly believable given what we’ve seen. 

Lisa seems more mature and very intense. I can see how that type of personality may be difficult to handle or warm up to for some of the other girls. 

I also have a bad neck (fairly advanced osteoarthritis), and I see a physical trainer to help me work out so I don’t strain my neck. I’m in so much pain all the time, I feel for her if that’s the case. 

PS That wasn’t a knock on Kelli’s cleavage. It’s pretty spectacular. 

I always wondered if Kashara ended up not continuing cheering because of speaking up about Victoria, Kelli didn’t look impressed at her comment about VK not thinking before she speaks or how she acts.

Kashara got an actual job with the organization, though, so I feel like they couldn’t have been all that perturbed by it. I’ve heard she primarily retired because of the weight requirement. After a few years of weight warnings it just gets to be too much for the ladies who have to work hard to maintain.

Kashar announced her last year it was her senior year so whatever she said about VK had nothing to do with her future. Kash has said plenty-how hard being a DCC is on the body.  Kash took her talents and DCC gave her a job. She now books DCC for appearances but also occasionally still represents DCC. I’ll forever be a Kashara fan , I believe she is one of the most genuine DCC ever  with an incredible sparkle when she danced. The last year she was point. All of the DCC alumni Hong up signs best point ever spoke to mr. she’s loved in DCC land.

Omg I didn’t start watching until a few years ago, but have watched pretty much every YouTube/Facebook clip of the the show. I can’t believe they told her not to reaudition!! That breaks my heart 😭

Please Do not get me wrong, tptb screwed her, but with keeping it all in perspective she did not get screwed any worse then anyone else.  If they didn’t keep advancing her each year a bit further we would not know who she was.  I find it more disgusting  that Kelsey (50 yd girl) tried out this year and the girl didn’t even make it to camp after being on the squad and retiring vs being cut ? Big BIG  slap in the face (if she indeed tried out as the forum suggests)

Wait a damn second....what?

[cherryblossom]

I loved Auto Amy & hated what all happened with her years of trying out BUT even in her auditions for the Golden State Warriors she really grabbed people’s attention because their style of hip hop, jazz etc really was Amy’s style.  And she cheered for a team winning a championship….not happening with Dallas.

On another note, I have been watching DCC since the 2 hour pilot.  We knew who ended up on the team before the show aired, things were shared with us (but not all the info), and you know what happened??  We STILL watched because that is how the program stayed on the air. Now we know almost nothing unless it is obtained through a lot of sleuthing or insiders and they are losing watchers. Keeping the lid down on the news doesn’t mean excitement. Now we don’t know the girls & aren’t invested. Wise up TPTB!

Yeah, she auditioned this year but didn’t make it past semis. It had been heavily rumored, and then she confirmed it in a very humble Instagram story. 
 

And I loved Auto Amy’s story, as well, but she just had so many shortcomings. She had very low kicks, but she was nowhere near Mackenzie Lee/Kali Drake’s level of performance and dance ability. Heck, even Hannah (my absolute FAVORITE ever—well, her and Bridget) was kept out of camp the first few times she auditioned, and it was mostly due to her kicks.

It crazy when you think about how many DCC greats tried out multiple times before making the team!  I agree with everything you said about Auto Amy, but that's what made her cut even worse, especially the last night, I think they always knew they were going to cut her.  As much as I want to believe they tried to give her every chance until the very end, I just don't believe it bc we've seen them let people on the team with bigger flaws IMO

Why does everyone call her Auto Amy? I must have missed something.

She worked at an Auto Assembly Plant. Just a way to distinguish her from other Amys that have been on.

[Trulyadorkable]

Update! I see on Reddit where they say Phil's dog had a litter of puppies and THAT was the reason for his leave of absence. That makes much more sense. My mistake!

I wonder if when he comes back if TPTB will put him right back as the stadium ambassador or if he will have to start again as a ticket taker at the gates and work his way back up to stadium ambassador? Dr. M or Lemonbus, can either of you confirm this story?;  and if they put him right back as stadium ambassador, does that mean that he might at least still have a chance at being in the triangle? Curious (and completely bored) minds want to know!!

[DancerMom]

According to an insider on Reddit, all the remaining vets were spared and there was one final TCC cut, so a final squad of 36. I guess they felt like if someone got an injury or something that they had enough girls on All-Stars to pull from. 
There are 2 TCC cuts we don’t know about. Did anybody follow them all on Instagram? Has anybody posted cryptic messages? Something tells me one of the comeback girls didn’t make it, and based on reports about her being strong, I don’t think it’s Tori.  I hope I’m wrong but we’ve seen this play out before.

Safe to say Kristin definitely made it back, she’s done a TikTok in her DCC uniform.

It looked like Ashlinn and Tori were strong.  So I’m thinking Madeline which would stink but would account for all the secrecy in my opinion since many wanted her to make it.

And she had pretty much achieved everything she could within the DCC: GL, Point, show group, Pro Bowl…I can see how she felt it was time to move on.

I guess it all depends on her current shape, stamina and dance. people change and not always for the best. Didn’t some people out here talk about her physical changes (hair colour, surgery) last year and did not understand why she did it? Unless we get to see the actual video, we can’t say whether it was a fair decision or indeed, a slap in the face.

I’ve just checked and Madeline hasn’t added to her IG story or to her grid since she announced training camp

I haven’t seen 50-yard-line Kelsey recently, but she got implants after she retired that were in the ballpark of what Kelli would call excessive, so who knows what she’d look like in the uniform.  Also I suspect they don’t approve of the level of Instagram sponsorships she has, like they felt she wanted to come back to boost her influencer career. And making it back after retiring tends to be challenging in general. They seem to prefer the younger and more malleable ladies.

I'm hoping that this is all wrong because I don't want to believe that they would cut Madeline at the very end though I could see it because TPTB are like that. 

[vanillagum]

I don't get why Kelsey not making it back would ever be 'a slap in the face.' TPTB seem to not be fans of retired or cut vets coming back. She wasn't the strongest dancer to begin with and is probably even more out of practice at this point. I've said this before, but it looks like she has little else going on and just wanted something to do to garner more attention/a bigger following. I'm the last person to defend TPTB, but I understand wanting a fresher, younger face to be a DCC. The standards have only wayyyy increased since Kelsey left, for better or worse. When you have people like KayDianna (TCU pom captain, right?) and Alora Rose (actual former Rockette, however you feel about her) trying out, why revisit a middling dancer from years ago?

TBH I could see it either way. Perhaps they cut her - certainly wouldn't be surprising. But perhaps they are also making it seem like they cut her. It is telling that they hide certain cuts and allow the leaks of others.
