bigskygirl February 1, 2018 Share February 1, 2018 (edited) In the minority once again, but I do not see anything wrong with a DCC being point girl for more than one season. I also do not think point girl or PBG should be based on who has seniority, is willing to kiss up to Judy and especially Kelli and Charlotte, or is a fan favorite. The girls should not earn point girl, Show Group, PBG, group leader or assistant group leader,get the promo appearances an/or performances because of seniority or because they may feel they are entitled to it.

bigskygirl February 1, 2018 Share February 1, 2018 I think there was one DCC who was sent to Pro Bowl twice, but in different years. Jackie Bob was a Pro Bowl Rep for the San Francisco team, and of course for the Dallas Cowboys. I think they said in the podcast yesterday Jackie met PBG Nicole Hamilton while she was representing SF, and she decided to try out for DCC after meeting Nicole at the game. Link to comment

Jess14 February 1, 2018 Share February 1, 2018 I would be fine with someone being point girl for multiple years if that girl was unquestionably the best dancer and performer on team. Kashara is fine and did a good job, but no way would I say she’s the best dancer there. With that said though, I think they should always rotate and I would’ve been cool with Lacey at point this year. However, I don’t think she is heads and shoulders better to the point that it makes sense to essentially demote Kashara. If they didn’t do it with Jacie, who was fabulous, i don’t see it happening here. 3 Link to comment
California Girl February 1, 2018 Share February 1, 2018 If Jenna is currently the only veteran who intends to retire, then I sincerely hope - for their love of this squad - that Kelli and Judy do a good job of managing expectations, and perhaps even encouraging some retirements, during their end-of-season evaluations and reviews. As much as I will miss any retirement from this lovely 2017-18 squad, I would hate seeing a large number of veterans cut at this year's auditions even more. 2 Link to comment

PrincessLeia February 1, 2018 Share February 1, 2018 I don’t think Kashara at point for next year is a given. If Lacey comes in and shines on the dance floor and behind the scenes, she could earn point. Maybe. Kashara will have to come back stronger... they expect their veterans to come back better every year. That being said, I think this squad is weak so unless she acts a fool or gets fat, it’s hers to lose. 3 Link to comment

If it’s not updated regularly after awhile, then we can assume she was cut/quit. I would love for them to surprise us and make Lacey point if both Kash and her comeback. Kashara was point/GL/Showgroup/PBC. She more than peaked her 3rd year, give some glory to the other hard working veterans. 13 minutes ago, LaurenBrook said: Agree. I don't think it's a given at all; if Lacey or Robin is as motivated as Kash was this past year I could absolutely see either of them. But have they ever "demoted" a point? I think it's time they start rotating their points. They shouldn't be doing it every year but it's fair to the other girls as well. Although honestly, there are very few girls who deserve point more. I'd only want to see Lacey/Kashara rotating. Maggie is fine but she too far back in the formation to suddenly get point. Robyn is one of the best but isn't consistent. Cersten I could see,but not over Lacey. And yes I know that the above arguments are what people are using against Kashara as well,but even if we all agree that she didn't deserve the spot (which I personally dont believe), she more than earned it this year. So yes I think it's unfair to randomly decide to demote a point girl for the first time ever since she is doing one hell of a job. 2 Link to comment

They definitely will push girls back in the formation though. They like the same point for multiple years bc 1) you get a great girl you can trust, UTILIZE THE TALENT, 2) continuity with media AKA they don't have to change out stuff, photogs know which girl to look for when not in formation, etc. They haven't had the same girl go more than 2 seasons since they started Thunderstruck at least.

I don't see the sense of giving up something you enjoy just because you can't be the star of the show. That's cutting off your nose to spite your face. The way they've got this team structured, only one person can have that position. There are 35 other people on the team, and I hope they can all enjoy the experience being in whatever position they are in, whether it's the front or the back, and no matter how long they've been on the team. I have no idea what Lacey's motivation is, and whether she's going or not. Edited February 2, 2018 by sleepyjean 2 Link to comment

Ans I personally didnt like Lacey-Jenna-Maggie, they were too uneven. To change point, they will probably need to change some of the other girls as well. Also, point girls is only "used" for thunderstruck and maybe some special performances.

I wasn’t so much arguing in that post about who should’ve been point. I think there are legitimate arguments that can be made for Kashara, Jenna (even after the suspension), Lacey, and even Robyn to be point. I just think that if Lacey believes that she should’ve been point last year and is salty OR even if she’s not salty, but wants point and doesn’t think she has a good shot at it next year with Kashara returning, then there’s nothing wrong with her leaving. She did her job and finished out her contract for the year. If she wants to move on, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I just don’t see the negatives in these girls choosing to leave or return for whatever reason they want to. Its their lives and their time. If a girl wants to be able to eat donuts when she wants and chooses to retire, cool! If another girl returns just because she wants to make show group, cool! If another leaves because she thinks she’s gone as far as she can on the team, i just don’t see a problem with any of it. 4 Link to comment

If you go back to last year's comments (or even beginning of this year's tc) people were saying that Lacey is too lyrical and then boom this year she's killing it.
