I must say Jenna and her group kill it! They are the most well rounded and aesthetically the best looking dancing group. Alexis is a standout rookie for her group thats for sure. That's neat to hear that Alexis is such a standout! She seemed not to get much attention at TC, didn't do that many interviews, and I don't recall Kelli or Judy calling her out or praising her much. I always wonder about the rookies who don't get as much attention from the cameras...I think the show likes to focus on the best and the worst, so I tend to believe that the others are just blenders, etc. How did you find Lexie, Molly, Rachael, and Tara's dancing, might I ask? I felt like they all got far less screen time and I'd be curious to know what impression they give on the field... 1 Link to comment

Fried hair, middle part , oversized chest . Dress is just not flattering either Awwww...really? I think she looks lovely. I agree that I'm not a fan of the big boobs, excessive makeup, but I honestly think she is very pretty. I also like that she has several pics on her instagram that are minimal/no makeup (unlike most of the other girls). For example: Interesting point about the middle part, however. In these earlier pictures from Dec. 2016 and Dcc tryouts, her hair is swept to the side (one of them might be due to dancing/head swinging, but still...) 13 Link to comment
Harrythecat November 21, 2017 Share November 21, 2017 (edited) Wonder if the ladies are leaving because of the spotlight on the team’s owner and other misogynists being outed. Or injury. Edited November 21, 2017 by Harrythecat 4 Link to comment

LadyMsJay November 21, 2017 Share November 21, 2017 I think Jenna pretty much confirmed this year was her last. I mean..we knew it anyway. As far as Milan..I get it, but if that's really the case, she shouldn't have auditioned for another year. 13 Link to comment

Shallan November 21, 2017 Share November 21, 2017 I miss Rainier. I never thought a makeover he and his team did looked bad. Ever since he left some of the makeovers are just terrible. With all the departures I bet they wished they would have kept Brennan and Taryn. I thought overall that this rookie class was kind of weak (with obvious exceptions) and now they are going to be the vets. Having 2 more vets able to audition next year would have been great for the team. Hindsight and all that. Good news for Christina though, she might make it back for a second year given all the departures and the need for vets to keep the team stable. 3 Link to comment

This kind of makes me believe that while school may have been a convenient excuse, she may have just been sick of the bs. It’s just a bit difficult for me to believe that it was all about school. Obviously, I don’t know Milan and every student is different and has different study habits, etc, but outside of retirement (and for those who don’t work), there’s probably not another time in life where you have so much free time as in undergrad. Is Milan even in her upper division courses yet? It just seems like if she’s the type who needs a laser like focus on undergrad courses to get good grades, she would’ve learned that her first season. 1 Link to comment

I'm just asking because I saw JennK's instastories with the other girls in a christmas-y event, which seemed to be in the morning and I would assume this is something the current squad should be doing. I've never paid much attention to the all stars though so I don't know if they are active or not. 1 Link to comment

Milan's priorities seem eminently reasonable to me. My son is a student at Harvard, and maintains a 4.0 average. He has it as a goal to graduate Summa. This fall he decided to set aside one of his extracurricular commitments in order to focus more time on his academic work. Between the increased demands of the higher-level coursework in your concentration, interviewing for the competitive summer internships that may lead to a full-time job offer, a Junior Essay, and planning for your Senior Thesis, things can get very demanding, quite quickly, in ways you do not always anticipate. Milan accomplished her goal of becoming a DCC not once, but twice, and perhaps she realized that in order to accomplish her other goals, to graduate Summa or Phi Beta Kappa, or to successfully interview for a summer internship, or to devote herself to academic research for her Senior Thesis, now required her - unfortunately - to give up this professional commitment. Should she have thought things through and planned better initially? Perhaps, but we all make mistakes, and I do not fault Milan for prioritizing now, and doing what she needs to do to accomplish some of her other academic and professional goals. I wish her well. I do agree with other posters that the seams of reality are on display this particular season. Edited November 21, 2017 by California Girl 16 Link to comment

I think what makes the makeovers so meh lately is the changes are really not that dramatic to begin with. If you are going to get a makeover, let it be a noticeable change.

I do believe tina kalina was one of the ones dancing around with a fake dinosaur bone, ha! And the white trunks over the blue body suits- wow, that was certainly a look. And this video made me realize I've been wrong about something for a while. I always thought that prior to the tv show, they only asked a few more women to training camp than would make the team. I thought they'd inflated that number to 45ish so they could cut a lot more of them for the purposes of the show. But in this video, they took 45 to training camp back in 1989, so clearly they've been doing this for a long time. OMG, I was on dance team in HS....class of 1990 and we wore those same blue unitards with the trunks over them. lol Link to comment

bigskygirl November 22, 2017 Share November 22, 2017 (edited) Once again I am the odd duck and in the minority, but I do not think Brennan and Taryn are DCC material. I also do not see what was so great about Milan either, and I will not be sad if she really left the team. I also do not think Reiner and crew makeovers they did were all that great either. It seems Kelli wants the girls to look and sound alike aka DCC clones/cult. Edited November 22, 2017 by bigskygirl Link to comment

ByTor November 22, 2017 Share November 22, 2017 The thing about Renier that really annoyed me was how he always did that stupid joke where he'd scare a girl into thinking he was going to dye her hair some color he knew she wouldn't want (always told blondes he was going to dye their hair black) or cut it really short.
