I've got Claire and Kelcey switching off as point (it seems like they usually put 2nd point in diamond position) & McKenzie completing the diamond since she made SG as a rookie

 

Claire and Marissa were the only 2 rookies to make Show Group that year.  McKenzie was performing with them towards the end of the year, but she didn't actually make SG until her 2nd year.

Also, this goes back to another reason Marissa rubbed people the wrong way.  After SG selections, Marissa was (allegedly) bragging and saying that she didn't have to worry anymore about making the team since she was on SG.  This was when Cici was cut from SG and she (again, allegedly) got her feelings hurt by what Marissa was saying.

Yes, I'm having to much fun making these.

Who would you like to have in the triangle? 

With Kelcey, Chandi, Claire already in front?

(I see lot of people are predicting MacKenizie here.)

a story about a bill being proposed against drag shows that could impact DCC since they consider they have a sexualized performances. Some quoted saying something that oh well it won’t be bad if we have fewer cheerleaders in Texas. Hmmmm

Prediction for triangle: (For the second formation, Kelcey/Claire switch and Chandi/McKenzie switch)

                                    Kelcey

                          Claire         Chandi

                    KD           Dani        McKenzie

         Darian       Tori           Armani           Elli

Ashlinn       VK          Jada          Jessica         Kelee

This is what makes the most sense, but I don't like how Dani is taller than Claire but is more outside than her

                                        Kelcey

                           Chandi           McKenzie

                  Dani              Claire

Hoping the best for Marissa. I am excited to see what is headed for her.

DCC candidates find out today if they advance to semis. They only have the weekend to learn a dance and kick line then submit a video.

I hope some that are advancing post on social media 🤞

Maybe this time someone will post on social media about it? I am beginning to think they are probably instructed not to.

There were so many Kaylas last year I lost track of her, thank you! Yes I’d agree, almost certainly auditioning. 

I can’t tell if Mel’s recent post was just her promoting her dance wear brand or donning an audition outfit for herself… she seems really happy on the Mavs and her style fits there a lot more. Maybe she’ll surprise me though!

Cailey’s IG profile pic is new iirc and she posted this back at the beginning of the year, which sounds to me like she’s still auditioning, but she’s focused more on doing it for her rather than the outcome: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cl__oDKslw7/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Mel is a super strong D town crew dancer. She changed her look recently, lighter makeup and hair (IMO it looks way better). Combined with the makeover and then the new photos in dancewear makes me think she is giving it one last go while she is at the top of her game - this will be her 4th year auditioning.

Two things going against her - TPTB always favor fresh faces, and she is someone they have seen audition repeatedly and is out there in the pro dance arena of Dallas. The other is her height. She is tiny, and Kelli is always thinking of her perfect kickline, so much so that taller gals sometimes get a pass so there is enough variation. I think TPTB are harder on the super short ones.

I will be shocked if Darian T. makes it to TC and/or the team. She seems to have good pro cheer dance style, but given that track record with the Mavs and then her social media - DCC is way too stuck up and hypocritical to risk giving her a spot on the team. I love that Darian T. didn't clean up her social media - she is her own person, but ya know, Charlotte will be clutching her pearls over the underboob and thong shots. 5 or 6 rookie spots? Her chances seem small.

I have been wrong before though!

 

Speaking of social media. I noticed Ariana McClure cleaned up her IG. Not one photo of the BF or fiance (weren't they engaged?). They either broke up or she decided to clean up her social media to better her chances.

Exactly why I’m conflicted - I think she’s aware of those things working against her and I don’t know if she’s willing to subject herself to that again. I also wonder what some of the Mavs girls say about TPTB behind closed doors, with so many of them having histories with DCC in the past.

Definitely has crossed my mind about her, but she’s not the worst we’ve seen either. 

There are definitely a few others who have wiped or cleaned their socials lately that I’ve got my eye on. My 30th is this weekend so I haven’t had time to write out everyone else yet, but I will try before tonight is over!

My only worry with Alyssa is whether or not she's fully recovered from her injury last year... I remember seeing a video a few weeks ago of her and Arianna and she didn't do a kick full out (she may have just missed it in the choreo but idk) They did take Zhenya last year when she was injured though, so she may still have a good chance!

Agreed on Melannie, her kicks are reeeally impressive. Heard a rumor since posting my list that she may be a possible finalist!  👀  If so I wouldn't be surprised if she makes it to at least TCC.

It's quite the wide variety of possibilities, but this is everyone I think has a remotely realistic chance of popping up in camp that I've seen. But of course, we always get people who crop up that none of us have seen before either, so I'm sure there will be some surprises!

Let me know who else you're looking at that I missed - I have some others I left out that I'm tracking just because I think it's less likely they'll audition, they might be training for another team, or they're still in school. But would love to hear your thoughts!

Any of the rookies from this past season except for Sophy she is for sure a shoo in this audition season 

I feel like Kally might also be pretty safe? She's been very strong so far.
