I now have the God awful fake Britney Spears-esque song "Meet Me in Vegas" song stuck in my head after reviewing that episode. That was the worst thing about rewatching season 7--it was in (or replaced another song) almost every episode. 

I'm going to assume that the 3 stars are her vet years.  I like that. 

And I knew they would add their names. You have to know which locker is yours. 

Yeah it looks like Erica and Lacey have 4 stars under their names in that picture from Heather's insta

From Erica'a Instagram story, it doesn't seem that Jenna is wearing a very business meeting dress

I thought the same thing when I saw it! The middle cuts pretty high.

[Guest]

Wow Milan got a barbie! I didn't think Holly was going to get one with what happened during her solo, I'm sure she's disappointed.

Also Jenna's dress looks like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

[LaurenBrook]

Yay Kashara!!! I'm sooo glad she got a Barbie...hoping this means it's her year to finally make show group too.  

LOVE that Erica made 'the wall' lol  and that she got another Barbie after slacking a bit last year.  C'mon Erica - keep this momentum rolling, show them you can be point!! 

Rooting for Brianna...I hear so many great things about her and her dancing.  I hope she gets put in a group with someone like Lacey who is 100% class and maturity and will really help her out.  

As for the numbers under the pictures...I'm pretty sure that is indeed y/n/m. We also hear often how vets are held to a higher standard than new girls. 

I'll say again tho that Christina is still a mystery to me.  I feel so mean saying that but i'm just not a fan. :-/

Good catch! I'm thinking that's yes/no/maybe (or yes/maybe/no) from the judges.

And seeing they don't all have it....maybe only girls on the bubble?? 

I was thinking the same thing, but do you see Tasha's...she barely made it back 7/5/3??? 

[Jaxratchet]

I am happy These individuals got barbies, although the three newbies I don't know!

EDIT: I am rooting for Sheridan and brennan but I am going to need them to differentiate Gina and Sheridan because I have mistaken Gina for Sheridan three times now! 

Cersten is covering Jinelle's name plate; im guessing 5 stars! And jenna is 6 stars and they are in order of seniority in alphabetical... this makes the OCD middle school special education teacher in me very happy!

I wonder if the green dots are show group or  maybes. Looks like Tasha and Stephanie have them. Those two both seem to be solid performers and good ambassadors. Who knows.

Now I wonder what the orange/yellow bar on the top of Maddie's means.

No possible way this Christina girl scored higher than Tasha. Tasha is prettier, far more well spoken, and Christina can't kick or split.

IMHO, I think Tasha is just an ok dancer, but I've only seen small clips.  I have deliberately searched for footage of her and nothing. Even when they did the hip-hop routine with nnoodle, she was not in the group of girls in the studio. I think she dances good enough so they picked her because she is gorgeous. I dont know much about Christina, however she post enough dance videos (even her dancing next to DCC) and she can hold her own.  But I am in no way a Christina fan nor do I dislike her...I dont yet...jury is still out!

Someone with the name starting with an A...maybe Amy L got 14 yes and 1 maybe. Wow go her!

[Jaxratchet]

I think the front triangle should be Erica on point with Amy L and Jenna on either side! And Holly or Robin behind Point.

Sheridan did not get a barbie... Agreed, I love the seniority/alpha order too. 

[LaurenBrook]

I don't know if Sheridan was kidding in her IG video about making it to TC (I didn't see anything so I can't give my input) but she's NOT at training camp.  Do we remember seeing her in the group pic?  I can't remember if we felt confident we saw her or were just assuming she was one of the blurry blondes.  But she is not there. 

It would not surprise me in the LEAST if Kelli is sending a message to Tasha by letting it out that she was one of the few vets who did not get all yeses/almost all yeses like most of the other vets did (they came back STRONG).  Like, step it up, girl - you are fortunate we see enough in you to give you a shot. I'm still rooting for Tasha - her pic was FIERCE and she seems sweet.  I hope she takes it seriously and gets her act together.

I saw her Instagram story, I really thought she had a letter in her hand! 

I went back and looked at the group pic, and I wish that lady wasn't out in front... ugh,  but I thought the girl next to holly was sheridan, and once again... Gina! Ugh! I guess sheridan didn't make it

Go back a page and someone posted a screenshot of Kelli's desk and there's the girls pictures on it with numbers that go like 14/1/0 or 7/5/3

[dccfan37]

I distinctly remember Sheridan posting a photo to her Instagram story of her and another girl, holding letters, and her caption said "TC here we come!!"

 

so I wonder what happened!!

Erica is gorgeous but they could have airbrushed her crows feet.  

I disagree. I'd rather it be more real instead of putting out a false image. Something as normal as crows feet shouldn't be airbrushed on a 20-something woman. Plus, crows feet are from smiling!

She was in the back right corner. 

[Ante]

Y'all, poor Kat got called out for a dress with cut outs but Jenna can parade around in a dress slit up to her hooha?  No one wants to see all that Jenna, come on  

Not to get all southern hillbilly on y'all but that ain't right. 

Also, everyone has on ugly nude shoes. Did they all attend an ugly nude shoe convention and think to themselves, "why yes, these ugly nude shoes that in no way match my legs will make my legs look so looooooooong?!"

Kat may have been late for her interview also, but it was not brought up on the show.

Milan needs a better hair cut/color and style because, in my opinion, her hair ages her by at least ten years. Madeline's hair style especially on the top, the part and hair color is aging her also. I laugh at Kelli and her city hair salon vs. small town hair salon because city salons do a better job. I beg to differ after looking at the makeovers on the majority of the girls.

That was 2016 at a national competition. I believe she won but am not 100% sure. She spent the last two summers in NYC with the Rockettes. She is just the sweetest girl. She is living her dream right now and I am beyond happy for her:)

Was soooo hoping she would be as good as some were saying, especially since she received a barbie.   But the technique & choreography in this video are something a 9 year old could execute these days.  NOT GOOD for a senior soloist by studio standards. She is beautiful and love that she is not so overly made up.  Would be interesting to know where she trained? Hopefully this video is old, unfortunately this is repetitious, shows poor hip flexibility, bad turns, transitions & feet.  It would be mediocre at a dance competition.  None of that matters for DCC but was hoping for someone super technical would tryout and make it.  

Wow..pretty brutal commentary...this was 2016 and apparently it was good enough to win the national dance competition. She went to a arts highschool for dance.

I'm somewhere in the middle. This choreo is terrible and doesn't help her at all, but she has good moments. Turns could be better but she's faaaaar more technical than a lot of girls on the squad. It'll be interesting to see her in the DCC style/power Pom if this is her normal style. 

[Cariad]

I'm with Howdee. She has good showmanship IMO so is enjoyable to watch even if not super technical.

I agree. It's fine. I mean they are given shorts by the DCC that ride up their assets so nothing wrong with her split IMO. 

Madeline dress looks like something my mom would wear.

Me, too. On the current DCC roster, if we made a scale of 1-10 and made Holly and Erica 10s, and maybe Selina, Kelsey and Tasha as 5s, I'd put this girl about the same as Kashara, Robin, Stephanie - more like an 8.5 or so. Yuko gets a 3.

She's technically far better than Maddie. Yes, I said it.

I hate the song, and the choreo is meh, but the only thing I think that could use work is getting her leg up on some turns. She's not jumping around the floor or falling out of them, but her leg is low. She also looks really fit without looking stringy or too buff.  I like her.

I think Jenna's dress is way inappropriate, too. She looks like she's hitting an upscale club, not going to a job interview.

My apologies to you, my comment was not meant to offend.  I was just sincerely hoping for more for their show team.  I judge dance competitions in the dance moms area & I'm sure she heard those comments and more on her critique tape.  She is lovely and so fresh looking in her picture with the barbie but competitions vary city to city and the best at one national does not always represent the best standard out there so that is not saying anything.    Events are relative to who shows up, the reputation of the company & in which region you attend.   Bravo is not a leader in the industry and the Rockette summer intensive is a money maker, unless she attended the Invitational Week in that case we would be impressed & she should keep trying for that if this does not work out.  I hear MSG is working on bringing back the traveling shows, so more jobs in the future!  Hoping the best for her! She is beautiful!

No worries:) She did go both summers where she had to audition and was picked for the summer session. They even made her the point on the dances(person in the center, I am NOT a dancer. My experience was Irish Step as a child;) ) I hope they show some of her solo on the show! The girls who are rookies this year are all so beautiful.

yeah Jenna's dress is too much ... regardless of how tall you are.  Pretty much an arrow pointing the way ... definitely appropriate for a club but not for DCC I would have thought?  Guess Jenna's feelin' good about her year to shine.  Jenn K come back!  I feel like someone needs to temper down Jenna

Erica - gorgeous.  nuff said. 

So sad for Holly that she doesn't have a Barbie ... she must be so disappointed.  Didn't she get 1 for the past 2 years?

Has anyone ever gotten a Barbie but still get cut during TC?

I second Howdeedo. 

The choreography is IMO. Absolutely awful and I couldn't watch the whole thing.  ??‍♀️  I didn't think her presence on stage was very strong but I'm not that well versed in dance competitions. Where I differ is I thought her turns were pretty spot on. 

That's said, I don't think she's necessarily better than Holly, Erica, Lacey or retired Melissa.  Plus, this type of video doesn't really help gauge how she will do in training camp since the DCC style is so very different than what this video presents.

I think it was mentioned that one of the vets cut this year received a Barbie, maybe Heather O? Not completely sure.

Heather O got a Barbie last year and made the team, but she was cut at finals this year.

Thanks @dccfan37  It is hard to tell the girls apart.

I wondered if Jenna's cash and prizes were shown when she sat down in her dress. Obviously she was not following Kelli's fashions do's and don't speech.
