I'm interested in other people's opinions on this - my daughter has been a collegiate dancer and now an NFL cheerleader and wearing another city/team on her clothes if a HUGE no no. Like it was grounds for dismissal from her collegiate dance team - that was true for any athlete in the school and it covered all photos you or anyone else posted on social media or even if someone from the AD office saw you out and about. I was really shocked to see this costume choice but maybe it's not something Judy and Kelli would think twice about? I have a hard time imagining that though - both college and pro dance teams are basically a marketing tool first and foremost so marketing another team or city on your body just seems like something they'd care about.

I totally agree, but I think it was meant more like, she's from Detroit. Not necessarily her support of their team! Just my opinion on it :)

I really hope that Kelsey Lowrance makes it back.  She's just freaking amazing to have put up with all the stuff Kelli and Judy threw at her last Training Camp.  I really think that she proved herself this past year and if Kelli and Judy don't take her back through no fault of hers (like bombing or forgetting the sequence of something), then it's all on them.  She can hold her head high knowing that she did everything she could (assuming she didn't bomb something) and they just couldn't handle it. 

It seems that they still think of her as that girl who has issues handling herself under stress despite proving otherwise and they can't get past that issue.

Oh God, I am praying she did her routine to a song off the 8 Mile movie soundtrack.

The Detroit Lions colors are not black/white, so I don't see why it would be a problem. If she were wearing a "made in Green Bay" shirt and wearing green and gold, then I could see it being an issue, but this doesnt seem to be an issue IMO.

Can't be worse than saying you're a "die hard" Steelers fan in the interviews! Well, except that gal didn't make TC. Damn.  

Seriously though, I think this particular thing is fine, and if she paired it with "Lose Yourself" then that would be amaze balls. She probably had the hoodie off for the solo anyway.

I just know for a fact my daughter would be let go for that so it surprises me that it's not a big deal - I expected that DCC standards would definitely be higher when it comes to marketing but I hope you're right. For the record, I wasn't talking about the Lions - she's wearing the Detroit Tigers logo. In any case, the way it has been explained to my daughter several times by various directors is: would you show up at a job interview with Apple wearing a shirt with the Microsoft logo? I really hope it's not a big deal - she's busted her tail this last year.

I see Sarah Gourley who we on here....er... I mean.....people....somewhere.....have criticized for her facial features in the past. I completely see Sarah in her, I just wonder if she can dance as good as Gourley, because talent is what got her in and kept her in.

I am HORRIFIED that Holly may have had a wardrobe malfunction! Ugh! Poor kid!

ETA: woo I'm rusty! I meant to post a pic of Detroit...I mean....I've never posted here before. I meant to post a pic of Detroit.

I see what you mean now regarding the logo. I had to google the Detroit Tigers. I hate baseball, so I wasnt familiar with it. That is strange and risky IMO (whereas I don't think the shirt is an issue), but maybe since its a different sport, they won't care (hopefully for her sake).

No organization I ever worked for would allow an important decision to be made by a large committee comprised of people who have no accountability or responsibility for the decisions that are made. Committee members would be listened to and thanked for their input, but the ultimate decisions would be made by a few people st the top of the food chain whose jobs were on the line and had skin in the game. This makes me wonder at what point this evening, K, J, and C huddle up for one of their super secret meetings where they will hand pick the candidates/veterans they actually wanted in training camp all along.

I thought it was a weird decision for Cristi to rep Detroit as well. Maybe just a bit risky. Like, most likely they'll be like "oh cute, she's highlighting where she's from" but if there's even a 5% chance they'll frown upon this, it's not worth it, in my opinion.

 

Also--and I hate to say this but--I just don't think her look is HD friendly.

She reminds me of someone that I absolutely loathe, so I'm completely biased, but I'm glad I'm not alone in that I'm not sold...

I don't think Holly's wardrobe malfunction was a full frontal. She's kind of insinuated it didn't go as planned on instagram live but doesn't seem too bummed out or anything 

One of her interview questions was "Which country artist would you want to be and why?" She said she doesn't listen to country but said Kelly Clarkson, and then realized she's not really country. 

I'm bored so obviously I have nothing better to do than to watch Insta live...

Meredith land put on her ig story "that's a wrap" so announcement should be coming soon! 

Please splain! Who is Meredith Land? And why do we care? I'm genuinely asking, not being a dick. I saw her name mentioned before and it's familiar, but I can't figure out why! Moochass Grassyass!

Just now, LaurenBrook said:

oh wow, that's Charlotte's daughter hanging out with Holly in the live video? wow, she really is bff with all those girls! 

Awesome that holly choreographed Jenna's solo AND her own. DANG! 

I mean. Right?! That girl. Skillz man.
