dakota1990 May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 (edited) I just don't understand the "new" DCC standards of weight. A lot of our favorites from the early season of MTT such as Megan Fox, Meredith Oden, Misty Duncan, Tia Williams etc would have never made it today or they would be required to lose weight. To me they were curvy...yet healthy looking. The womanly figure looked achievable with the right diet. That weight restriction became really strict back during Season 1 or 2 when Ryan Ray auditioned for the first time and Kelly dismissed her for being too bottom heavy. She came back and made the team in 2007 and 2008 (limited tenure because of the weight commitment idk). I think that HD board excuse is bull****. I wonder if Queen Charlotte is hell bent on all the girls having that tiny look. Which TCC do you think will have trouble this year with the figure requirements or required to lose weight before TC is over....or is it too early to say?

No one is really speculating on that since we already know...but obviously we will speculate about other things since we don't all have the luxury of being Kelli's daughter. Telling people there's "no need to speculate" just comes across kind of snotty, lol.ETA -- Kind of convenient that Cami's "absolute favorite person" is Sam Finglass.

I do think HD screen makes a big difference, as well as the fact that social media is SO prevalent now. EVERYONE is taking pictures and uploading them immediately...not the kind of controlled conditions they might have had to pose girls in a flattering way, etc. I think the bottom heavy thing is silly though. With their uniform, the most important part that needs to be 'thin' and 'toned' is the midsection. We have seen plenty of girls (like Meagan P) who were cut because of that but they had a super toned waist so actually having a butt to balance the chest was a great look.

I'm also interested in seeing whether Ashley Pro's year of DCC has improved her dancing skills enough so that she relies less on her tumbling strength. I predict they'll open with Jacie.

They never show the entire solo during MTT. I agree about Jacie, she closed solos last year so she could open this year. I was thinking Holly might open but she could close. Either position is considered an honor! One year solos were posted online. The past year or so I've only seen them in short social media clips. Some girls have their routines on Youtube but I've only seen a few (Olivia, Carissa, Melissa, Sydney) I agree, Holly Arielle or Jacie will start/end (unless they pull what they did last year, and have a super strong rookie start it off...wasn't Jennifer K trying out for her second year last year?

Thinking back, that whole Jennifer K was very telling. To have someone who doesn't even have a year as a vet opening solos showed that they really liked her a lot (and this was solidified with her being named a 2nd GL) I hope she's a rare case, though, and they go back to seniority. How scary would it be for a finals candidate to see Melissa, as the opening act, touch her foot to her head or leap so high into another back bend. I would be peeing my pants! I know one person (cough Kelsey cough) who better not show up without knowing her stuff.

Alyssa shocked me because her older sister had been in DCC for 4 or 5 seasons. Wouldn't she have told Alyssa stuff about the panel interviews? Wouldn't that be the talk of the Vets? Panel interviews and what they might ask? But Alyssa had gained weight too, so that plus the interview may have done her in. The thing about an interview is you never know what they're going to ask you. And remember Alyssa was cut after being with the squad for a year so obviously she had passed the interview the year before. She was just as equipped for the interview as Ashton was. It's very possible that if they had asked her anything else she would have been fine, but she was just thrown by the question. I believe they asked her to name one person she had met over the last year who had influenced her and why (but I might be remembering wrong). I wonder if she would have been back on the team that year if her interview had gone better, or if she would have been cut for weight. I will say that every time I watch that scene and hear her say, "I thought of one yesterday," it makes me cringe, lol. So I guess the moral of the story is that literally anyone could screw up that interview and having a sister/friend who was on the team for 1 year or 5 wouldn't really make a difference. It just comes down to the moment. I just pray that none of my favorites this year beef the interview. I will riot if Holly is not in training camp! Lol.

M1977G May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 It's a cutthroat business. Nothing personal, but there are several vets I wouldn't miss. This year the dolphins cut about 10 vets, now that would be drama if dcc did the same. Wow, that sounds like serious drama. I kinda wish the Dolphins cheerleaders had a show, too! They are right up there with the DCC, IMO, and I love how diverse their squad is, in terms of race/ethnicity and global representation. I know a former DCC ran their team for a long time, so it doesn't surprise me that they give Dallas a run for their money. Ten vets is a LOT to cut. I know Brooke Sorenson Nix is a choreographer now, so I'm even more interested in them! As for the videos, there are some very talented dancers, and I reminded myself that they'd all just learned the dance and to cut them a little slack. At finals, though, of course they'd better nail all those moves and make them crisp and big. I was pretty unimpressed with racer-girl Taylor's dancing and fitness level; Ashley Paige was stiff in her neck and back STILL and I thought totally ho-hum on power and interest--she must have been scared because I thought she was less stiff last year, which is saying something. I'm with others in my surprise that Cami didn't make finals, and I really really hope we find out why on the show. Amy Simone was not stellar in her video, but she was fun to watch and her moves were MUCH cleaner than last year. How much she polishes the routine before finals will be key, but I'm really rooting for her. As far as diversity, I think the talent pool is a little deeper this year than last year, and I hope some of these girls make it through to TC. I'm blanking on several names, but I liked the lady from Mexico, the girl with the curls (Robin maybe?), and I thought DeAmber looked pretty good. There were several other dancers of color I liked as well. I always think Whitney is cute and she reminds me of Mia with her long legs and dimples, but she's just a mediocre dancer. Too bad! I have to say, I disagree with others, in that I thought it was much better choreography than last year. Some of what was unappealing was the execution. It's a fast and challenging routine, and it includes a number of elements that will help judges with trained eyes see if they have the makings of a strong TCC: double pirouettes, high kick, quick level changes, hair flips, and lots of sharp, isolated movements. Performed cleanly and with sass, I think it's a very DCC routine that would read well on sidelines. Someone like Holly, Jacie, Ashley N or Jennifer K would kill it and make it look so fun, I think.

Elizabeth9 May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 Alyssa was asked to name a Cowboys running back? After two other girls went, so that narrowed her choices. Terry was asked to name the most interesting person she'd met during her time on the squad. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/24231-2015-tryouts-and-training-camp-spoilers-and-spoiled-speculations/page/13/#findComment-1115939
Kaedee May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 I think the diversity of DCC changes depending on the talent pool. I think Kelli would like more diversity. I believe that's why they gave Alexandra way more time to try and learn the dances last year. Considering Mallory and Chandler got cut before her, and they were better at the routines overall, shows that the organization was interested in Alexandra. It just comes down to talent and who has the entire package. Of course, when you think of the ethnicity or cultural heritage of the girls, I'm sure its wider and more varied than merely their looks will attest. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/24231-2015-tryouts-and-training-camp-spoilers-and-spoiled-speculations/page/13/#findComment-1116009

Tys Mom May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 Do the girls still have to write an essay? I remember it being brought up a few years ago when one of the DCC's wrote tips on the website about auditions. Apparently they were supposed to be able to talk about their essay in the interview....

Bailey3606 May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 (edited) Pretty sure they've always had the quiz. Vets had to take it as well. I remember years ago Kelli made the girls sit in the meeting room with girls who got the highest grades on top, and the lowest scorers sat on the bottom. Now, vets sit on top and the newest girls sit on the bottom I remember one vet got like the 2nd lowest grade and was forced to sit in the front, Kelli didn't like that at all Edited May 6, 2015 by Bailey3606 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/24231-2015-tryouts-and-training-camp-spoilers-and-spoiled-speculations/page/13/#findComment-1116323
Kaedee May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 (edited) Yeah, the test is on DC and DCC history, NFL and current events. I guess if a semi finalist wants to get to the finals, part of their overall score is passing the quiz. Vets take it as well. Probably as part of their finals too. Of course we know that one year Nicole Hamilton failed her quiz. She was embarrassed and Kelli wasn't pleased. But Nicole made it to TC despite not passing the quiz, so I suppose passing isn't a prerequisite for coming back, though I image not many Vets fail.

Nicole Hamilton scored poorly and Kelli said she should have been in the back row, but she was in a lower row because of her test. I would say I wish they did it that way every year so we could get a clear visual representation of where everyone is at, but it's kind of degrading at the same time so I would feel bad for the low ranked girls getting hung out to dry on national television. They'll already feel bad enough when they get called into the office, LOL.
