EricaShadows January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 Anyone know if Amy L is trying out again? I also wonder if that haircut is "authorized" or not because it's been rather traditional for girls to keep their hairstyles/colors throughout their stint on the team. Milan is unusual in that she hasn't (and there have been a handful of others who've changed their looks while on the team), but, for the most part, the looks don't change. 1 Link to comment
LaurenBrook January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 Yeah...Amy is going into her third year tho right? I would say that's time enough for her to request an updated look. Paige was allowed to change her style after a year or so and Sydney even was permitted to go brunette. Hmm...interesting. Link to comment

LaurelleJ January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 Jenna also had a big chop this season. I had forgotten about it until I saw her with shorter hair in the video from Sarah's prep class. Kelsey also had a lot of color changes. Big fan of Amy, I feel like I say that about everyone. To me she is a dark horse to be a second leader. 1 Link to comment
twinkietwin94 January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 When did they get to be so strict about staying the same year after year bc it seems if you look at the pics from the 80s at least their looks changed year to year just look at Kelli's pics. Link to comment

They weren't as big of a deal in the 80s. Now I think the idea is to keep their looks roughly the same so that they can be recognized as they are in their pictures. Link to comment

Guest January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 I'M OBSESSED WITH AMY'S HAIR. I think she looks so cute with it short, I hope they allow her to keep it that way instead of using extensions like Jenna was until now. Link to comment

Just based on the position of this years triangle I would say Melissa is her biggest competition right now, but holly is a strong contender. I think it comes down to Melissa and Erica though, and whoever is point will also be group 1 leader. Edited January 23, 2017 by LaurelleJ Link to comment
LaurenBrook January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 I really like Melissa, I do (and wouldn't be mad if it's her lol) but I hope it's Erica. She is the most photogenic girl on the squad, bright smile without exaggerated facials, and perfect figure. Plus she got shoved into a terrible position this year; sorry, but 95% of the time she was behind Jennifer who is taller than her. It'd be awesome to have her at point, and Melissa and Holly on either side lol Blonde, brunette and redhead! 3 Link to comment

Hahaha I love how salty you are about Erica being put behind Jenn in the triangle this year ;) But I agree, Melissa and Erica will be up there and possibly Lacey/Holly/Jinelle/Robin/Amy T rounding out that front group. I'm guessing Mandy and Maddie (and Cersten if she stays) will make some movement towards the front. Link to comment
HowdeeDo January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 (edited) Visually, Erica is stunning and would be perfect as point. Melissa is a strong dancer, but her facials bother the heck out of me. For whatever reason she reminds me of Trisha Trevino who had the worse cheesing face ever. Edited January 23, 2017 by HowdeeDo Link to comment
RazzleberryPie January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 Amy L's new hairdo is super cute. Erica's competition is Holly. Jenna if she decides to stay for 6. Link to comment
LaurelleJ January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 I share in @LaurenBrook 's frustration of Erica being stuck in a bad position this year. She needs to be in the front. She was chosen to go first at finals and then got stuck Behind jenn. Don't get me wrong, it's an honor to be anywhere in the triangle (are we supposed to be calling it a heart?) Erica as point with Melissa and holly at her sides is a good mix of hair colors as suggested above. 5 Link to comment

Long time reader, first time posting. I watched Holly and Maddie on instagram live, too and they were so sweet to answer fan questions. Someone asked how long they wanted to be DCCs. Holly said she's "thinking 4 years" and Maddie said she wasn't sure but will be reauditioning. They also confirmed that they have to be camera ready at every practice (outside of MTT) because they don't know if they're going to have visitors. A bunch of people kept asking if they interacted with the Cowboys players (no, obviously), which was funny. I have to say, I was not a big Holly fan before this but seeing her and Maddie interact with friends and fans on IG really made me like her more. (I've always been a Maddie fan.) Also, ERICA FOR POINT! 2 Link to comment
bigskygirl January 24, 2017 Author Share January 24, 2017 Any ideas who will be Vet of the Year and Rookie of the Year. Vet of the Year-Jennifer, Danielle, Jenna or Jessica Rookie of the Year-Madeline, Mandy, Kelli, or Maggie. Link to comment

bigskygirl January 24, 2017 Author Share January 24, 2017 Vet of Year probably is for two and more years girls. I do believe the girls vote for Vet and Rookie of the Year, and I am sure Kelli and Judy get a say in who is selected. There have been three and four year girls who were chosen. Link to comment

LaurelleJ January 24, 2017 Share January 24, 2017 @JayDKay good point, didn't think of that. Hopefully she won't get bitten by the injury bug next year. For vet of the year I would not be surprised if Jenn won, but am hoping for Jessica. I like her a lot and she seems to fly so far below the radar. Rookie of the year I see going to either Madeline, Maggie, or Mandy. Could be a surprise though. When Mary (so beautiful!) and Kashara won ROTY I didn't see it coming. Link to comment
StarGazer00 January 24, 2017 Share January 24, 2017 I really hope VOTY goes to Jessica Danielle or Jenna because 1. Jennifer gets everything and 2. Their rookie class was my favorite of all time! So much beauty and talent and personality. Sad to see that's the last of them. :( 4 Link to comment

Yet, I feel like there aren't too many girls that are "for sure" retiring. So far all we know of is Jenna, Jennifer, Jessica [wow so many J names] Bess, and Danielle right? Based on last years amount of amount of girls who didn't return, it doesn't seem like near as many. Do a lot of girls typically keep it quiet that they're retiring on social media until the banquet?

There will be a lot of second and third year vets next year but not a lot of fourth and fifth year vets. Looking at the current roster, assuming none of them retire, there will only be three fourth year vets (Erica, Melissa, Lacey) and one fifth year vet (Jinelle). Looking back on past seasons, a lot more girls stayed for their fourth and fifth years, but it seems to be a dying trend now. PS -- Welcome!! ? Edited January 25, 2017 by Oranaiche 5 Link to comment
