bigskygirl February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 I do not see a problem with cutting a rookie at finals especially if she should have not made the team in the first place aka Morgan, Ashley Pro, Breelan, and others who barely made the team in first place. They have a year to get it together, and if they do not bring it, then they should be cut. Link to comment

I can't speak about Savanah's overall ability, but at least as a dcc she is always behind,messes up moves and definitely not as powerful as the others. She isn't the worst thing that has happened to dcc, but she is one of the weakest dancers on an already weak squad. 36 minutes ago, HowdeeDo said: Not to put down other teams, but their standards are completely different than DCC standards.

bigskygirl February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 Once again I am in the minority camp, but I do not see being in front of the triangle as a bad thing especially after being on the team for more than three years. Yes, I am sure it can seem to be a big honor to be near the front of the triangle or being point girl, but I think the girls and the rest of the universe will survive if certain seniority girls are not near the front while performing.

Angela cane back one last year only for show group and again didnt make it. From the start most judges didnt really like her for her looks that much, and even (if i remember correctly) during a show group audition the SG judges still weren't sold on her making the cut. Idk the circumstances but it sucks she has kind of been stuck in the background and 1-2 year vets are being pulled forward in the triangle. 1 Link to comment
cgloss February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 I'm disappointed that this is the first time we're seeing Savannah and Keyra taking classes. If you're on the bubble and know you're on the bubble, I'd think you'd be taking classes all year and not just when DCC prep comes around. Of course, I'm basing this on what I see on social media, but there are some DCCs who always seem to be working on their skills (Maddie, Holly, Jenna, Simone, etc.) and some you never see at those classes. 1 Link to comment

In the beginning I was really rooting for Savannah but as the show went (could be editing) I think Kelly only kept her just cause maybe she reminded her of Danielle. She came from the jets too and was a weak link on her 2nd year audition when the foot injury happened. (Why was she even allowed to try out if she had a fresh injury? Props to Danielle for “trying” to dance on it but it was a scapegoat i think) I actually got pretty annoyed when Kelli said the thing about the “package” deal with Savannah and blondie friend (dont care to remember her name).

Savannah is one of my absolute favorites in terms of looks and seems like an all-around good person, but IMO she needs to bring her A-game if she wants to survive finals. I think in a year with a lot of retirees, she might be in better shape. But with it looking like there aren't going to be too many retirees this season, K+J will be looking to cut some veterans to make space for extra TCC's. Glad to see she's putting in the work, though! Just now, Katherine1904 said: I agree with those cuts also. Although I STILL cannot wrap my head around Raylee and Heather Same! I was just rewatching Season 12, and Kelli specifically name drops Heather H as being one of the best rookies in one episode, and then she's promptly cut out of nowhere in the next episode. The only mistake they showed was one kick in the wrong direction at the start of the kick line. I bet K+J have to regret that one. 5 Link to comment

Although I STILL cannot wrap my head around Raylee and Heather I agree but like Shelly and many others have said, its not only based on dance skills. Who knows what other criteria cuts are based on. Kelly says a lot of comments like “I think she will be a very popular cheerleader” during TC. Again it could just be CMT editing but during auditions its shown how they want girls who “WOW” them. I was shocked too that she got cut, the millisecond they showed of her solo it seemed like it wasnt liked. I wish there was more a tiny bit more of explanations as to why some vets are cut other than just “not bringing their A-game”. Some vets who get cut have been ones that had a big storyline in last seasons. CMT/DCC should expect them to be popular cheerleaders, Im glad they at least gace some insight as to why Holly P. left and Jenna wasnt at the HoF Edited February 2, 2018 by xMisa 3 Link to comment

From what I know of Lacey, she is not the spiteful type at all and is happy for Kash's success. Being the star of DCC is not the end all be all for either Kashara or Lacey, Lacey works hard at dance/fitness and I never heard she hates Kashara, etc. Just more like she had a minute regretting that she hadn't pushed herself more toward point, bc you never know what's going to happen. 6 hours ago, Acromantula said: This. Did anyone else feel that Kashara seemed a bit overwhelmed with all of her roles (Group Leader, Point, Pro Bowl) in the Podcast? She mentioned several times that her "head was not in the game" at moments, particularly at the start of Pro Bowl. She also talked about how at the last game of the season she was really looking forward to going home, etc. And when she revealed that she was re-auditioning this coming year, she mentioned just wanting to enjoy the experience/being in the locker room/game day, and not be so stressed out (as I felt it was implied she had been this year). Honestly, I could see her being a bit relieved if they were to give Point to someone else this year, and she got to just enjoy being a regular cheerleader and not the focal centre piece of everything. No I don't think she seemed overwhelmed at all. Her head was not in game bc she had a miscommunication with her boyfriend. She lives thousands of miles from her family and her dad just beat cancer, so I get wanting to go home really badly. She's not at wall flower who avoids attention. 5 hours ago, ByTor said: I don’t get the joke, why would Lacey help Kashara burn carbs? The Cowboys don’t have a pool of 36 QBs though ? Watch Mean Girls. Trust Tina Fey. Your life will be changed. CB don't have a pool of 36 QBs, but DCC doesn't have a pool of 36 point girls, either. Y'all know I mean you don't just change rehearsed formations or plays bc every Snowflake needs a turn in the spotlight. 3 Link to comment

Silverleaf February 3, 2018 Share February 3, 2018 Jinelle might not be towards the tip of the triangle but she is usually on the side of the triangle which I would guess in Kelli and Judy eyes is still a good spot as she will be more visible than a girl within the triangle even if that girl is technically further forward. I can’t remember who the girl was but there were a lot of comments that the girl behind point last year - although it is seen as a “good” position - wasn’t actually visible most of the time (Erica?).

Only when they're in the triangle. When the lines spread that spot is smack in the middle. JennK and Erica are about the same height but it does look better IMO with a taller girl in that spot AKA Meagan C, Lauren Williams, Tia, Nicole B, etc. My heart thawed a degree or two for Cassie when she and Judy were Regina George in the halo vest and her mom in the track suit for Halloween. They know people called her a Mean Girl so just embrace it. Keeping with current squad, Lacey is seriously not that tall. Average but just so slim she LOOKS taller esp next to Jenna who is very petite. I wouldn't call her short like say Keyra, bc Jenna is small all over. Splitting hairs I know, but the team over all was just really not that tall this year. 2 Link to comment
