Agree with you on points 2 and 3. Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it though lol.

Not sure they're going back to solo point anytime soon. They could have done it last year with Amy retiring (and their really not even being on the field except for the video), but instead chose to have Maddie & Rachel. And they could have done it this year with Maddie retiring, but chose to have Rachel & Gina instead. If they were ever going to give Rachel solo point, this year would have made the most sense. For whatever reason, dual point seems to be their new preferred formation.

They probably figured it was time for 'something new' after doing this signature dance for X (how many exactly??) numbers of years. Why bother choreographing a whole new dance if you can 'revamp' it this way?

I really wish I could get excited about this season but I’m just not. Like others, I don’t feel any attachment to last years rookies and I know we haven’t seen the show yet but from stalking Instagram, I already feel the same about this years. 
 

Dare I say it but part of me is missing Victoria. At least I know a bit of who she is! 🙈

I see these three Claire, Marissa and Armani in front triangle in two years. I am kind of hoping Lexie, Rachel and Gina retire after this year. 

I wonder how Marissa getting married is going to affect her tenure. I think she'll stay, but I assume her date is post-Super Bowl just in case?

Any other TV network would have done 1/3 inspirational, dance competition content 2/3... the most dramatic season EVER content.

I hate that Charlotte and Kelli as producers have that much creative control. It's not realistic to the lived experience i.e. Victoria hiatus, 1st years quitting, season ending injuries.

If I were CMT exec, I'd be pissed.

Thanks for sharing this!! Has Gina worn that outfit for solos before?

[pinkandsparkly13]

Did any vets actually get cut this year? Or did they all quit throughout the auditions/TC? I can't even remember at this point lol

It's going to be so nice to not be overdosed with Victoria this season. I'm curious what the vibe will be like without Kelli's favorite there.

It will be nice to see who else is on the squad.  That social media dept goes overboard on her - yes, she has a lot of fans, but it also tends to work against her

I think Gina, Lexie, Erin, Taylor, Madeline and Kristin will retire after this season, possibly Kat, Jalyn, Caroline and Jessica too. I could potentially see someone like Claire retire too as I imagine there will be more dance jobs going during the next year if everything returns to 'normal'.

Rachel will stay so she can have solo point but I would love to see Ashlee given a shot, maybe with Amber/Chandi/Kelcey in the diamond. 

I don’t know about Claire retiring next year.  I definitely see her sharing point with either Marissa or Armani in two years so I think she’d stick around for at least 4 years. She is teaching at a studio in TX.  
i think she has a passion for teaching and 
choreography as well as performing. 

I like your idea about next year’s diamond. I could see Eli rounding out the diamond in two years with Claire/Marissa/Armani.

As far as Rachel, I would hope Kelli and Judy would sit her down and say you’ve been point for two years it’s time to give someone else a shot.  She  can retire at the top of her game like Kashera. 
 
I could see Lisa not trying out again or being cut and Victoria may make it back but she would not be put to the front. There are too many other deserving and talented people.

I feel like if Rachel retires, it'll likely be her choice. K&J have always mentioned how strikingly beautiful she is, and they make a point at least once every season to say she's great at some dance or a certain style looks good on her. However, I'm sure she knows she's at the top of her game. She's been point two years in a row. She's a group leader. She's been on show group. What more is there for her with the Cowboys? She's had everything the team can offer, in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised to see her gracefully move on after this season.

Well technically this is her first year as point point !! Last year she was point in a video so I don’t feel like that counts

She's got it all. No blank stare, great dancer (strange that she is not in SG).

I totally agree.  I saw the commercial she did.  She has that “it factor” sparkle.  It’s not just that she’s beautiful.  They are all beautiful. She has something extra.

I swear on the first couple watches I thought that was a return of Brennan saying "I'm going to fight for my spot, just like any other year." But no it was Daphne. I kinda forgot Daphne was even involved with this season at all.

And we got the soundite of Judy saying "this is the MOST INTENSE." Yes, right. Every year 😆

Yes I didn’t mean they would ask her to retire just that they would give someone else a chance at point and that would prompt her to retire

Marissa’s cameo photo is so much better than last years! Kristin’s looks the same 🥱. Kelcey looks meh, and I’m starting to feel that for such a great dancer that she was her rookie year, she is getting over looked now by last years rookies and probably this years rookies too. I’m beginning to forget she is on the squad.

So from this photo I have tried to figure out the triangle with Gina as point, some of these may be wrong especially the blondes at the back but this is my best guest.

Pink- Rookies

Red- 2nd year Vets

Green- 3rd year Vets

Orange- 4th year Vets

Blue- 5th year Vets

Purple outline- Showgroup

Did they do the normaL kick line and jump split?

Yes 

[souR77]

from what I’ve viewed on Instagram, it seems the jumpsplit is still off and although I understand it’s been a long time and majority of the vets/rookies haven’t done it. I’m just worried of the potential injuries.

I'm so sad Ashley....former Miami Dolphins cheerleader.... didn't make it.  I'm thrilled for Tori, Ashlinn, and Madeline S. 

[TB12]

My two cents: are you even a DCC if you don’t have your arm over your head in your cameo, so unflattering… Caroline looks like a 40yo soccer mom not a fun, fresh young lady…

I am so happy about them. It is a dream to see them on the team, it really is. It is like a present. Finally.

O sweet tomorrow! –

This sense of sorrow.

In a couple of years the DCC has changed so much. More than half (61%) are from last and this year. Judging from other posters in here, how they don't know the last years girls, this DCC squad must be something completely new for them.

Well, I am very, very happy about the team and how glamorous it has become in just two seasons!

I see that KayDyanna and Christina are not that similar anymore. Both have been (by own choice or not, that is what we will find out) toned down a bit. Christina has less makeup and tanning and KayDianna's hair is more like Caroline. Besides the fabulous 3 comeback girls, I think that Tyra, Kleine and Jensen are coming in with a lot of sparkle. My big unknowns are Lea and Rebecca. I am excited to see them in action!

[TUOwl84]

I think there is something off about Madeline M’s cameo photo. I can’t put my finger on it.  Also, Claire is another one that I feel her cameo looks just like last years lol

What immediately caught my attention when seeing this visual line-up of the team.... There are only 14 vets on the team who have ever done the full field game performances. The other 22 are either returning rookies (now 2nd year vets) or new rookies. Granted there were injury-related hiatuses/retirements, but it is impossible to ignore that there are fewer and fewer girls going for 3, 4, 5 years.

[dfwxo]

Now Miss Kleine is way too beautiful for what they did to her hair 🤔 That blonde does not compliment her skin tone. They really should’ve given her a rich brunette shade or some in between. They need to do better. Madeline S looks amazing!! I am so happy for her. I’m excited to her transformation as she matured into a vet. Whatever aesthetic hook up they have always adds extra glam to the girls and I have a feeling she’s going to thrive😍😍
