Oranaiche April 7, 2016 Share April 7, 2016 I really liked Tessa, I hope she tries out again. I don't think she will since she's not 100% recovered from her stroke. That's a long, uphill battle and I think if she ever recovers fully, too much time will have passed. It's really sad, but at the same time she's overcome so much more real life stuff so gracefully that I kind of doubt the DCC thing is even on her radar anymore. I agree that she was great though and it makes me sad that we probably won't see her on the show again. 1 Link to comment
MaryWebGirl April 7, 2016 Share April 7, 2016 I remember reading on the old forum ages ago that K&J used to tell some vets not to reaudition, but I imagine that would only be for pretty extreme cases unless they know they have a particularly outstanding group of new people auditioning.

Last I saw/heard of her was when she tried out the season after hurting her knee in training camp. K&J really seemed to like her but her kicks weren't great. Link to comment
tobeyoungagain April 7, 2016 Share April 7, 2016 I didn't even know Claire was a DCC until like two weeks ago, that's how much she didn't stand out. LOL me too!! I also just found out there was an Elizabeth on the team??? Huh? Where has she been? Is she a vet or rookie? Link to comment
Oranaiche April 7, 2016 Share April 7, 2016 (edited) LOL me too!! I also just found out there was an Elizabeth on the team??? Huh? Where has she been? Is she a vet or rookie? She's a rookie. She gets referred to as Bess a lot of the time. She was a pro cheerleader for another team prior to the Cowboys. Maybe the Raiders, but I could also be making that up. I'm not exactly a sports expert, haha. Wow, I had no idea she had a stroke. Last I saw/heard of her was when she tried out the season after hurting her knee in training camp. K&J really seemed to like her but her kicks weren't great. Ah, yes. She had a stroke not too long after recovering from the knee incident and has been recovering ever since. I think she also might have moved to LA, and is in a serious relationship with a guy she met through the show (he works on it in some capacity). Anyway, she seems to be doing really well regardless of her struggles. Not to go all Miss America or anything, but I think she is such an inspiration.

They did a little thing about it last season. Oh wow. She really is an inspiration, she would have been a perfect DCC if she hadn't hurt her knee and her kicks got better. Link to comment
Kaedee April 7, 2016 Share April 7, 2016 Christina has tried out several times. I think she's officially over it and has accepted the fact that she'll never be a DCC. I believe S10 was Christina's 5th if not 6th year auditioning. I can't remember if I saw her in S5 or not, but I don't want to go back and watch E2 to verify. lol I wondered if she'd give it one more shot, since she made TC (S9) and flubbed a Panel Interview question in S10. She's only 29, I think this year. So it would probably be her last effort if she did audition. I thought Simone was fine in TC. She had the shoulder injury there mid-TC, so that meant she couldn't perform as well. But I thought she had spunk. Raylee, Stephanie and Chantal were the ones that completely flew under my radar.

Stephanie and Amy L were the ones who flew under my radar! They never even spoke to the camera once, did they?? I only knew of Amy L because I saw she was friends with Sarah Gourley and I assumed she'd make it then for sure (kind of like how Sarah really helped Evan Danielle out a few years before). Claire they featured a couple of times but watching her dance I was never THAT impressed. She's adorable but not sure if she is a Teri/Courtney W (good, but not GREAT). Chantal tried out like a million times - or at least I know her first time trying out was with Angela back in what, season 6?? I think she will make it again this year no problem; she is super popular with fans (even tho I agree with a lot of people here that she is almost too thin and it makes her face look old). I like little Raylee - I think she is a much better dancer than they showed on the show and I love how hard she is working on her skills and fitness. She reminds me of Caila. It is fun to speculate!!! Link to comment
LadyMsJay April 8, 2016 Share April 8, 2016 Unless Shelbi is AWESOME when she comes back, I will be surprised if they take her to TC. Kelli knows how seriously Shelbi takes it (quitting her job!!) and I dont think they'd mess with her, unless production pushes it lol. I doubt Kelli and Judy tell girls not to reaudition; we know that they give the girls notes after every game, to tell them things to improve, etc. I imagine that if a girl is CONSTANTLY getting bad feedback, gaining weight, etc. K&J assume she will either really get it together by camp or it should be clear she isn't a fit. That's my theory lol That is probably why they had little patience with Hannah. She was probably getting bad feedback all year and they assumed she'd either not reaudition or pull it together and she clearly wasn't in fighting form. I am also interested to see who all makes SG this year...a few of the retiring vets were on it, right? Ashley, Holly, Jacie, Kelsey...I bet KaShara makes it on and Robin. Yeah I definitely think KaShara and Robin make show group! 1 Link to comment
Luvdallas April 8, 2016 Share April 8, 2016 I'd like to see Madeline try out again. It would be fun to see if she gets picked again for training camp. It looks like she has been working hard all year to prepare for auditions. I really hope the show brings us some girls that we get excited about! That we cheer for!! But please not a season like the season with Morgan! I can't even rewatch that season it was so painful for me!!! 2 Link to comment

Not facially, but maybe it was the jet black hair and when she said "as long as you where it with poise it doesn't matter" after they pointed to the picture of Ashton in the uniform during interviews. There was some similarity.I never understood why they picked Kaitlyn LaRae in season 8? I did like Paige, Rachel, Hannah and Jennifer though. Edited April 8, 2016 by NicoleS9954 Link to comment

It is fun to speculate!!! Considering how many Rookies-in-waiting there were in the last TC, its a shame we only got to meet like, half. We never got much on Megan, Stephanie, Amy L, Claire, Chantal, even Amy T wasn't featured much. In fact, KaShara wasn't featured all that much after her uniform mishap. I wish DCC:MTT would showcase all the newbies. :( I wonder if Caila will come out as a force to be reckoned with this year as far as DCC placement. She really upped her game before last year's auditions. If she keeps it up, she might become point someday. Link to comment
bigskygirl April 8, 2016 Author Share April 8, 2016 Caila has improved, but I cannot see her as point girl. I can see Show Group and assistant group leader or group leader in her future. Link to comment
RazzleberryPie April 8, 2016 Share April 8, 2016 Caila's good, but so tall. She might end up in the 'Lauren Williams' spot - right behind point. 1 Link to comment

Smplsimon April 10, 2016 Share April 10, 2016 This is the first year I can recall when the entire rookie class decided to reaudition -- usually there's at least one who retired after the first year. Link to comment
SopranoKris April 11, 2016 Share April 11, 2016 Not sure where to post this but I often wonder how age factors into the girls decision to audition again as vets, like with Kat being 30 now if she makes the squad again this year will she audition next year as a 31 year old? Not sure how K&J feel about this as we have seen I believe a 60 year old audition before and I know Brittney Schram was 26 when she made it! Don't get me wrong I'm all for older than the normal 18 year old girls making it further! :) I wonder will we see any older auditionees this year making TC? :) I remember when Natalie Wood was on the squad back in 2006-07, she was mid 30s (I think 36?). They said the oldest DCC was 38, but not sure who that was. 1 Link to comment
PhoebeKelly1992 April 11, 2016 Share April 11, 2016 Wow I had no idea Natalie was that old, to me she looked around 28-30 age range :) yes I wonder who it was too will have to do some research lol :D Link to comment

sleepyjean April 12, 2016 Share April 12, 2016 (edited) Shelly is still involved with the DCC organization. She does prep classes and assists in other ways. I've heard she dresses up in that scary cheerleader mascot suit. Dayton and Sam are the same age, both graduating from high school this summer and going away to (different) colleges.

Oranaiche April 12, 2016 Share April 12, 2016 I kind of doubt Ashley Paige will come back after how she was treated last year, but who knows. Perhaps she's a glutton for punishment. Ashley Paige may not be the best dancer in the room, but she would have been a fantastic ambassador and truly a better choice than a couple of the girls who made the team when she went to camp a few years back.

Luvdallas April 12, 2016 Share April 12, 2016 I would live to see Ashley Paige make the team. There are far worse dancers on the team. She is beautiful and poised. Link to comment
LadyMsJay April 12, 2016 Share April 12, 2016 Ashley Paige won't be trying out again. And even if she did, she still wouldn't make the team. I don't know what it is about her style of dancing that she can't change or adjust to fit the DCC style, but she has always been too stiff. Link to comment
Smplsimon April 12, 2016 Share April 12, 2016 I agree that Ashley would be a wonderful ambassador, but her dancing is really bad. She's trying to control the movements too much instead of just going with it. Link to comment

All of the girls on the current squad are taller than me(I think Kat is the shortest at 5'2) , the only one I can think of reading was shorter than me was Joannah Liad but then again I read somewhere else that she was 5'0 my height lol! :D It would be great if someone from this forum auditioned and gave us the scoop lol on what it's like at auditions.

Needless to say, I never tried out :) 1 Link to comment
