Also not surprised at all by Rachel, she was always a TPTB favorite. 
 

ROTY is always a little bit of surprise but usually those girls go on to become true leaders on the squad. Go Kelee!

Yayyyy!!!  Kelee was my favorite rookie!  I called her the quiet storm.

And I'm happy for Rachel too.... she seemed like a good veteran.

I’m not surprised by Rachel getting Veteran of the Year.  She definitely is a favorite of TPTB.  I’m pleasantly surprised that Kelee got Rookie of the Year.  
 

I heard Kelli say on one of the stories from the banquet tonight they’re running out of Barbies 😂

I always wondered when that closet would be empty!  She should’ve held the Barbies to 2 or 3 a year. But the last few years, she gave out a bunch.

Was it Kleine's bf who proposed during Meet the Team last year? That really pissed me off, its her night let her have it you tool..

It pisses me off too, but for another reason. To me it wasn't her night, that night was for all of the rookies, and getting the most attention pushed to her was tacky.

Her grasp of the English language is minimal. I think she meant “you held the organization in high regards” Which is still a weird thing to say on Instagram.

As Kitty would say ‘don’t do shit you can’t do’ (use big words). 

I didn't see anything wrong with Victoria's post. Yeah, she could have worded it differently, but it's not that cringeworthy to me. I can barely remember being her age, but I'm pretty sure I said things that people thought were dumb. I'll show myself to the door.

I am thrilled for Keele is that how she spells it, sorry Girl! I wanted Lea but over the moon for her!

as far as Barbies to me they’re just not that special anymore. It’s like a participation medal at this point, you get a Barbie you get a Barbie… and Kleine got one for that Hip Hop routine, seriously?

Yes!!! Congratulations to Kelee!! I was expecting Tori or Tyra to get it, but this choice is not that surprising to me. She seems so soft spoken, mature, and down to earth, and loved by the team. And how adorable does she look in this dress? 💃

Yay Lea!!!🎉 So well deserved! I can definitely see Lea in the triangle if she stays with the DCC long term. Ya know..to be honest, I'm really shocked to see Kleine getting a solo Barbie and no KayDianna, Ashlee, Chandi, or Kelsey.

MTE. what we saw was um not cute. not barbie worthy

does anyone know her dance background? i feel like we never heard literally anything about it during the season, which makes me think hip-hop is her way of hiding her lack of the ~classical technique~ they love

if you're giving this many people barbies what does it even mean anymore

To me either. She comes across like she's Erin's employer giving her a respectable goodbye or something. And not like her sister/teammate. I think that's why it was awkward for me to read.

I can’t love this post enough. You took the words right out of mouth. It’s like when Joey was writing a recommendation letter to the adoption agency for Monica and Chandler and changed every word to something that he thought sounded smarter. And it was basically unintelligible.   The adoption agency thought a child wrote it. (FRIENDS reference for those who didn’t watch it).

I agree… do people not have work in the morning? Or is not a late night event? 

I’m thinking of my end of year team events (university badminton, so nothing to get excited about!) our dinners were quite raucous so were always held on a Saturday! 

I love this use of “raucous.”  I’m determined to use it daily now. 

Im going to say it and I’ll probably sound like a terrible person but I really don’t care. Edited to sound less harsh: I do not like Gina’s look. At all. I used to love her unique look. But now she looks like every other Real Housewife. She and Michelle Keys must frequent the same Med-Spa.

I haven't watched many episodes in the last couple seasons, so I'm not too familiar with the girls this year and last. I went on Instagram last last night to follow a bunch of the new girls to see posts about the banquet. 

That being said, I don't know much about Jensen, but she looks like she could be a DCC from 15+ years ago.  I saw some pics of her from the calendar shoot and was wondering how old she is. I feel like I haven't seen as much of her as the other new girls. Anyway, she just looks a lot older than she is to me. Sorry 😬 I know some people just look older than they are.

First, it took me a solid 10 minutes to think of what MTE meant. 😂 

And also I totally agree on the plethora of Barbies. Call out your top 10, but whittle it to top 3 getting the B, period.

I totally agree. Jensen looks much older to me than 22. I always thought she had a Christine Brinkley look (pretty but looks dated).

I’m betting tonight is banquet based on Gina getting her makeup done & this caption

Wow, so very orange and those hair and eyelash extensions everywhere are beyond a bit much! Are her lips like twice the size they usually look, or is it just me? Glad Gina got her year at point and two years as GL, and I am ready to see her go. She's an amazing dancer and performer, but I never enjoyed her look that much. She always looks a bit fake to me...and she is more thin and hungry-looking than I find attractive, as far as photogenic point goes. I bet that under all that, she is really pretty, though.

I will really miss Gina, her pop & extra.  I also liked that Gina's look reflects her Italian heritage.

My sentiments also. Gina has been a great DCC, amongst the best. She has pretty well done it all. 5 years on show group, 2nd GL, GL, VOTY and Point. All the more remarkable when remembering that she came back from a torn ACL in her third year. Her audition solos were always bomb. I will miss her EXTRA!

She deserved it even though I was sort of rooting for Lea.

Kellee and Lea were my 2 fave rookies this year and I actually like them better than all of last year's rookies. 

Rachel W VOTY, gag me. Not holding back. She's fake pageant pretty but it all looks so fake to me, fake hair, fake tan, fake teeth, soooooo much contouring, and her dancing eh, blender who takes good pics. Glad she's leaving. I feel like she is beyond overhyped and that whistle in her voice is more irritating than her dead eyes. Then there are her political beliefs which just no. 

As much as I've harped on Lexie's dated looks, at least she does seem to have some spunk and personality. Personally, I would've picked Amber. Power dancer, intelligent, overlooked.

I agree 100%.  Don't forget "plastic and mannequin like" what Kelli called Lacey Minchew.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Gina-hater. I always liked her as a DCC and rooted for her. Quite honestly, thought she was better and more entertaining dancer than Holly Powell. 
 

I’d just take the look of Year 1 Gina over current Gina. She’s starting to morph into someone unrecognizable to me.

The Year 1 Gina will come back. She has lost a lot of pounds since year 1, all in persuit of excellence and now the pressure is no longer there she will fill out her Italian cheekbones.

I will sure miss Gina Ligi. If you say it out loud it's like music playing, say it soft and it's almost like praying: Gina Ligi, I'lll never stop saying Gina Ligi.

One more here! Part of the reason I went to the wildcard game in January (had missed regular season games and had to go through an ice storm in Atlanta, where I was one of the only flights that could get out luckily!) was because I wanted to see Gina perform once more in case she retired. Love her pop and energy and will miss seeing her extra “San Diego spunk” on the squad.

I was watching Wrestlemania with my sister and her husband, and when the Show Group came on, I said "there's my girl, Gina".  They were shocked I could identify all the cheerleaders, but my brother-in-law said 'well she's not even the prettiest.  There's prettier girls'.  I said 'maybe, but she can really sell it.  You never see less than 1000% from her.  Every smile, every toss of the head....she always makes it look spontaneous and fresh".

Later he asked me to let him know when the MTT new season comes on so he can watch, LOL.

Who is this between Judi and Kelli? She looks the same age as them?! And nothing like I would expect a current DCC to look like.

If I hadn't seen her pinky celebrating her rookie ring I would have assumed she was alumni from when J and K were cheerleaders.

This is why I don't get the "Jensen looks old fashioned" comments.  Jensen looks like a beautiful, carefree Southern California blonde.  I've lived in SoCal since 1974 so I watched the look morph over the years.  🤷‍♀️

McKenzie's hair isn't that different and of the two, I think she looks older.

She looks really good in that picture and not old, but I'm sorry she does look older to me in a lot of her pictures. That's just my opinion. I can agree about McKenzie looking older. 

No worries.  I think where we are from / live, has a lot to do with our perception.  Make-up, hair and overall look/outfit is pretty laid back in California.  The South seems to lean more towards glam.

Well I think McKenzie is another one on the squad that looks older than her actual age of 25.

OMG, I wouldn't have guessed.  That's quite the outfit she's wearing.  S E X Y

That is a very risky outfit because it shows…everything. All I see is a (fortunately very tiny) camel toe. Sorry for potentially ruining the outfit.  (Me dodging bullets now)

On another note: Both Gina and Rachel are retiring, so we’ll have a new point/ two new points this year. Am curious to see who it will be. They have surprised me a number of times (particularly with Amy and Maddie) so I won’t bet any money on this!

Amy wasn't a surprise for me....Maddie was.  

Of the about-to-be 4-5 year vets, I could see Ashley for sure.  Or Chandi.  One of those two but not both. Kelsey possibly.  No to Caroline.  Also no to Jalyn...love her but don't see them giving it to her.  I'm not even considering Kat.

3 Year - Marissa head & shoulders.  The rest you could put in a paper bag and pull one out...there's no one better or worse than the next IMO.   Claire could definitely be in the competition if she punched up her appearance a little bit.  You know...turned up the heat.  Spice up that red hair.  There's only one other redhead (Jalyn) and she's got the lock on mahogany.  Claire should go the other way...brighter red.  Not Carrot Top, of course, but a red that screams Look At Me.      

2 Year (the current Rookies) - There's no one IMO.  But if I had to throw out a wildcard, I'd say Kleine, maybe.....or Tori.
