Marissa posted on her IG she is having destination wedding in Italy, June 2025. That would be a really fast turnaround to be back for finals later in June, but you never know.

Oops I don't follow any of the current 3rd years so I didn't know! She would def retire then as well

Lovely headshots! I wonder when the website will be updated.

Twelve rookies -- that's a lot of new names and faces to remember, without the MTT show. 

I've forgotten who the 4 GLs/2GLs and groups are. But I'm sure they'll all shine.

As for Pro Bowl cheerleader guess, if it's not too early - Armani or Megan! Maaaybe Tori.

So excited to see 2 former TCCs make an NFL team!

Tbh I wish they had a more dynamic squad reveal video. The royalty-free music and having the same background throughout the video made it kind of unengaging. 

I comparing this to last year's DCC reveal video which I thought was a lot more exciting

Are there any insiders that can confirm whether or not Kylie had a nose job?  She looks different compared to her first year auditioning. I know makeup contouring can make things appear different. But I’m leaning towards a nose job. And I know she went from blonde to strawberry blonde.  I’m sorry if this was mentioned before in this forum. Regardless she is beautiful before and after!

Oh my goodness, that contouring is so heavy it makes her look like her nose has a bad sunburn.

THE CAMEO PHOTOS ARE IN FOLKS!!! And they updated the headshots too, which they didn't do last year for some of the girls.

First impressions:

• Kylie and Zoe look like the same person with that hair.
• I don't know what it is but Tori and Amanda's faces look odd.
• There's A LOT of over-the-head poses.
• Why are the cameos all different sizes again?
• Some of the eye make-up is way too dark (AK, Brooklyn, McKenna).
• Kelly and Madi could be the same person too.
• Not a fan of Taylor's pose.
• Ava is giving off mean girl vibes (even though she seems nice on the show).
• Ariel is the new Kelee, cute as a button
• Sophia reminds me of Courtney Cook, also cute as a button
• A moment for Kayla's braids, LOVE!
• Kleine has so much energy in her face.
• Hers, Lea and Camille's are my top 3 favourites.
• Does their website editor not know that when you click on a cameo, it should open in the same tab, not a different one (internal link strategy etc)? I do wonder where they hire their marketing/web team from sometimes.

They look great. By far Madeline's is my favorite.

Once again, some are great, some have had better, and some ... was that really the best?

I will never understand why they don't photoshop the stray hairs - Abby, Kayla, and that weird color patch on Marissa's head? It's not like this is hard to do?

The four senior ladies - Chandi, Armani, Jada, KD - that first row looks great.
Camille as always looks like a supermodel.
For rookies, my favorites are Ariel and Julissa.

Not sure what they have done to Taylor. I wish she would go back to her true brunette coloring. Zoe looks different this year, and it's not just looser curls. Trinity is a natural beauty, but her makeover has made her look more plain.

Kelee and Kleine gorgeous as always, but they usually photograph much better. 

Was this really the very best of Sophy, Reece, Darah? I don't believe it.

Curious about this..after not making the team. VK : year 1 is the year she made the team. Year 2 VK made the team.  Year 3 VK went on sabbatical…is that really a thing with DCC? Did not audition or cheer. Year 4 VK made the team..she is counted as a 4th year but in reality she only cheered 2 years and this is technically her 3rd year? Yes?  And VK contemplated a 5th year which is actually a 4th year but decided not to based on the conversation about probably not getting a leadership role.  Since physically it would be a 4th year did she kinda cheat herself out of 2 more years?  She wanted them to recognize her as a star but it wasn’t happening so she made a different choice.  Just want to make sure I have that right, VK cheered 3 years?

She was on the team for  4 years total:

2019-2020, rookie (MTT 14)
2020-2021, 2nd year (MTT 15)
*Year break*
2022-2023, 3rd year (no show)
2023-2024, 4th year (AS)

The photo size discrepancy between Sophy and Anna Kate made me laugh so much! For a second, I thought 2nd year veterans were all being de-emphasized.

LINES!!!!!

I wondered if they would change anything up from Thunderstruck since it became the TikTok dance of the summer after the Netflix show, but that answers that LOL!

[cherryblossom]

I think it is a situation where if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it for Thunderstruck!

So, watching the game day takeover on insta, and Marissa is announced as the promise girl. 
What’s that?

I’ve seen game day girl… sideline sweetheart… announcement of whoever gets Abbey Bear… but promise girl is a new one on me. 
 

Can anyone shed any light?

Someone asked earlier on the DCC MTT Reddit board that Kleine said she was the promise girl of today's game.

Who's point here? Jada? Where's Sophy in the triangle?

Patiently waiting for @TheGenuineBeauty to post their annual review of the squad photo 😄
