Do you know this for sure?  I seem to remember you knew someone in the business or one of girls or something.  Or is this based on today’s IG post by Presley?

Hannah is so pretty facially I've got to think it was either kicks or figure that kept her out. Ridiculous as it may seem, I think she's got that very small frame and lean build like Jalyn or Amy, where unfortunately a couple days of margarita bloat is going to be visible in the bra/hot pants they try out in.  They're always happy to show on the HD camera who has skin/belly movement, and I feel like it happens to some of the leaner girls more than it does the thicker girls, if that makes sense?  Like Melissa W might have been visually thick without movement, but a normally very lean girl could have a teeny jiggle.  The human body is weird and skin does weird things.  If someone's standard is normally +10-15 (think Vivian) than sometimes just that bit of weight loss is enough to have some loose skin.

Sometimes it tightens up over time, sometimes it doesn't.  hard to say.  Do I think some of their standards are bullshit?  Absolutely.  Just trying to talk through what the misses are.

Also, even though they inflate the numbers, there are still A TON of people who try out.  If they aren't someone well known in the Dallas dance community, it's not terribly unlikely they'd get missed.  I know Charlotte, Judy and Kelli go through and make sure no one gets missed, but it could still happen. 

I also think that Hannah and Kelli are very, very pretty, but their look can go a little harsh if makeup isn't perfect.  So if they tried out in a year that had a ton of Rachel W looks, also a reason they could have been missed.  

I truly think that without a pedigree or recommendation, they make you come back the second year to make you prove you want it.

I hope they stay with it too, and then bring semis and finals back to in person. It'll save lots of girls the money a trip to Dallas would cost, and also let TPTB see more of each girl's talent.

I also think if you made it to TC the prior year and got cut you should go directly to finals if you reaudition.

I mentioned this in a recent post as well. Maybe Christina had always been considering it. I come from the small chest land myself and can relate. But if some one said I had ‘no figure’ on national television, there’s no way it wouldn’t influence my decision. 

That's a good point. To have your boss say something negative about you just to you is bad enough, but to have them say it on a national scale is a whole other ball of wax. Because now, not only do you know your boss thinks your chest is small, but complete strangers (after having that pointed out on TV) are probably thinking it as well. They never showed if Kelli or Judy ever said anything to Christina about her chest size prior to that, but if the 1st time Christina heard feedback about her boobs was from watching that episode, she must have been mortified.

And the weird thing is, there have been a few times Kelli mentioned that there are plenty of A cups on the team upon showing how tying the knot on the blouse correctly can make a difference. I don't know why Christina's size was a problem for her.

I took it as referring to everything, not just boobs. Like lack of butt, lack of curves, etc 

Its so weird Christina even made the team that season between that comment + all the ones about her memory, kicks, lack of pop

Jen A is still a surprising one to me when I first noticed her in the background during tryouts the year before she made it.  I would think that would be a great comeback story, but I honestly think they are embarrassed to do it a lot of times bc then they would have to explain the ridiculous reasons why they didn't take them before (Melissa maybe weight, Jen looks?).  

Can someone PLEASE get a screenshot or something of this, because I keep looking for her and don't see her at all. There's a girl that looks similar to her, but I know it's not her because the girl I thought was her...her name is Laura Allison.

Maybe, but in a large field of dancers you need to be good and stand out to be noticed. I can see how the judges can miss a good dancer when you have to watch hundreds. And it’s possible that they just weren’t good enough/messed up  first time round.

I politely disagree here. I won’t go into questionable cuts here, but generally you are cut for a reason: As in not good enough (yet). They know what you were capable of and need to see you can do more. That makes them perfect candidates for the first few rounds.

Confused here! Definitely Dr. manhattan style, but…

I’m not sure what this message means or refers to? I thought “to have nothing on someone” meant to have no evidence against… which doesn’t make sense when you read LB and Dr Manhattan’s messages??

I am very excited about this season. I'm don't quite he grasp the griping about lack of info. We've seem to get the tea in pretty quick order.

I never thought I would be defending Kelli, but I actually consider her quite successful at her job, by almost every OBJECTIVE measure. 

I have lots of problems with the morality of professional cheerleading. To me it seems very anti women and sets terrible aspirational examples for young women. However, under her stewardship DCC are definitely the best. I view pro cheerleading similar to child beauty pageants, disturbing and compelling.

CMT has so many storylines to cover. Hopefully, they won't manufacture any drama.

Jinelle would be lovely, but a lot like Shelly IMO…great information but low on the tea! Plus where Shelly brings the sass, Jinelle seems very sweet. Tho truly I welcome any and all peeps affiliated with the DCC and Dallas dance community to jump in. Everyone has a difference experience and perspective to share.

It means if you think you've heard stuff you ain't heard nothing yet.  We about to have a rodeo.  And someone always gets gored at a rodeo.

At least that's what I think.

Okay, then. I have the teapot, teacups, teaspoons, napkins, placemats, cream and sugar ready. I'm assuming you're bringing the actual tea? With an introduction like that, we're expecting refills.

That’s the thing, the job of being a DCC and the try-outs to get there are compelling enough on their own. No need to manufacture bullshit drama at the expense of accomplished young women for ratings. 

No need to manufacture drama but it still happens. The well known Malena cut was manufactured. Malena was miles off, had a pattern of not being able to remember routines (was the first Flight Crew member that didn’t dance - do you think that Denise Garvey isn’t able to tell if someone messes up? Denise is a ex-DCC) and they (TPTB) kept her to be cut for drama’s sake.

There are countless examples of manufactured drama.

The Malena storyline was always mind boggling to me. Kelli and Judy go on constantly about the amount of choreography required to be a DCC — specifically how it’s more than any other NFL cheerleading squad. They talk about the utmost importance of learning quickly. Then you take a young lady into training cap that was cut from a lesser team for *not remembering choreography.* Like, what???

Oh yes, I agree, just dont see the need for it but understand its part of the reality show MO. I just wanna see more dancing and backstories, thats what I enjoy about the show.

Thought this was interesting post from Cassie! And sorta on topic as Caroline is current DCC. I wish some one had asked her why Caroline got moved back in the triangle lol. 

A947A2DC-CF40-433A-964A-DF2C14030E66.jpeg

I like how she phrases this, though...she likes to watch these dancers particularly in technical/modern/lyrical.  That's where quite a few of these dancers truly shine.  I absolutely adore Carisa and Jacie, would watch them all day doing whatever style they wanted, and I think Caroline is tremendously talented too.  But I think she's where she is in the triangle because while she has a good attitude and she's a technical dancer, she just isn't as fun to watch in the DCC pom/hip hop style as the gals in the triangle.  There is just a glut of good talent on the team right now.

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 agree 💯!!   I can't deny that I still see Erin with the same lack of power as she presented herself the first year she made TCC (and was the first cut).

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!)

I can't say that I wanted Ellie and/or Dani over Jaylyn......I can't be more happy for her (J)  I think she is an exquisite dancer with an abundance of power ~ and I personally think she's beautiful...........but I definitely was expecting and hoping for E and D to make SG as well!   

And yes, I agree, Dani is absolutely the equivalent in beauty as Rachel and way more expressive in her eyes!!

At least she's not falling over all the time like she did in that 1st TC. I don't understand how someone with her training had balance issues like that. Unless she had something like an ear problem that was causing it.

She just changed her profile pic where she is likely at Disney world/land. It is no different than Presley posting a beach photo. Yes, both of these photos may be old. Please clarify how we know this is the final team?
