This goes to show that we actually know nothing that happens behind the scenes. Savannah may be the best teammate, going above and beyond.. And we dont see any of it. So happy for her! I love an under

I attend a weekly bible study, and even I roll my eyes at some of the things people in our group ask us to pray for.... then I pray for myself for being so bitchy and eyerolly. ?

Well I don't doubt Savanah is nice, but she is arguably the worst dancer they have. I don't get the disney princess comment either, but come on. They keep cute girls who can't dance, self absorbed girls who won't stay longer than needed and sob stories. No wonder the squad is getting weaker and weaker.

I'm so happy for voty! I'd like to see Jinelle getting it, but she would be my second choice!

So happy for Robin! she flew under the radar alot which as we've seen, can be the best thing lol  She is very deserving but it is a bit of a shock to me that no GL 1s or 2s won.  Not sure what that says about overall leadership vibes this year (because really, wouldn't you expect that someone put in a place of leadership all year should shine the brightest?) but at the same time, i don't think that should dictate who can be considered just like i don't necessarily think a retiring vet should be the one to win. 

ETA: before i get 1000 replies telling me Robin was GL2 to Lacey, thank you to Katherine for reminding me of that already :) that makes more sense then.  i need to look back now and see if this is the first time in a while a non GL 1 won. 

I am honestly gobsmacked that Lauren didn't get ROTY but I am SO genuinely happy for Savannah.  This is a truly sweet, hard working, team player and I am thrilled the other girls recognized it. She has been in almost every dance class I've seen practicing her butt off because she knows she is not the best and I have true admiration for that.  I remember we were all pretty surprised Heather O won ROTY last year so it goes to show that those girls behind the scenes are valued too. GO SAVANNAH!!! <3

who was she with?? I totally forgot about that. well,that is good then. i mean, i honestly think she deserved it with or without a leadership title. 

ETA: oh she was with Lacey wasn't she?? and they are roommates so i'm sure lacey is thrilled for her. i hope Lacey gets her big year next year :)

Lacey I think? 

I agree robin is deserving, although I would have liked to have seen Jinelle recognised

I don't understand why Savanah should be applauded for working hard with no improvement, while most people think taryn deserved to be cut even though she was working hard and made progress even within TC (while Savanah had a year on the team). I do hope she is stronger this year.

Now that we know who is retiring, who do you think is going to be GL1&2, part of the triangle and the prominent positions?

Kash Lacey and Amy/Heather in the triangle. I hope Amy over Heather

As everyone has mentioned, this really goes to show that we have no idea of the personal dynamics behind the scenes and cannot judge the girls or the team by the TV show and social media alone. 

But I am genuinely SO HAPPY for Robin as she has always been my favorite, seemed so sweet and poised during podcast talks, and VOTY seems to confirm everything wonderful I have thought about her.

Congrats to Savannah! That just goes to show that nobody on here knows anything lol

Yeah, as much as I love her I don't think ROTY means you are safe from getting cut.  VOTY and ROTY are the awards that are voted for by their peers and not Judy/Kelli/Charlotte/etc.  i think it says very loud and clear that the girls want Savannah on the squad but we all know Kelli well enough that if she doesn't think Savannah has earned her spot back, ROTY won't save her.

Robin being VOTY makes up for it a bit, but seriously....Savannah? I’m sure she’s a glittery ball of rainbow sunshine, but girl struggled the whole way, has no personality, and shows no improvement for next year. Putting her up against other ROTY - Kash, Heather, Holly, Jacie (I think right?), it’s just confusing.

But its not based on their dancing. She may have shown great leadership, friendship and support to everyone else throughout the year to earn ROTY. I think her personality is fine. She seems quite mature to me. The podcast that everyone bagged her for was also fine. She speaks confidently and doesnt sound like a little girl.  Im sure that her peers didnt vote her ROTY just because shes been to heaps of classes. There is probably more to the story than we know! 

VOTY could've gone anyway. It would have been nice for Jinelle to get it. She also helps out with the Junior DCC. But i still love Robyn!

I too thought this guaranteed Savannah's spot for another year because I don't think a ROTY has ever been cut, but I think you're right. All the award really means is that she's a locker room favorite. And being a locker room favorite didn't save Morgan. That said, there are so many open spots that unless any of the vets completely screw up or are completely out of shape, I think they're all safe.

ETA: Just realized @LaurenBrook already said this. That'll teach me not to refresh before posting.

Happy for Savanah and Robin. While I do think it’s a bit strange for the weakest dancer to get rookie of th year, if she got the votes, then she got the votes! Clearly her teammates really like her, and I do too. She just hasn’t mastered the style. I’m certainly not hoping that she gets cut, but I still won’t be shocked if she does. 

While I’ve only really seen pictures in instastories, i think basically everyone looked really nice at the banquet.

Remember when Melissa the Mentor said Heather was vanilla or a blender and look how far she came. I personally do not care for Savannah, and I agree getting ROTY does not save you from being cut at finals. I am happy for Robin because she is so adorable, a hard worker, and the complete DCC. On the subject of Jinelle not winning anything. I do not see what the big deal of winning something while being a DCC. Yes, it is nice to be VOTY or Pro Girl Rep, but it does seem the girls like her, and she was a group leader this year.

I also think there will be a few one and two year vets who could be on the bubble at finals. Season 6 had 13 opens spots at finals. Olivia S. was cut at finals, Joannah left right before finals started because she found she was pregnant, and Kaitlyn LeGrand was cut during TC. They ended up with 17 rookies that year. Season 7 had five one year vets cut at finals. Kelli decided to go with 39 girls instead of 34 girls, and there were 19 rookies (ten extra spots were open because five vets were cut at finals, and five more spots were available since the squad increased to 39 girls.) There will be 13 spots open this year, but more spots does not necessarily mean no vets will be cut at finals or cut during TC.

I can see Lacey, Amy, KaShara and Heather as group leaders with Tasha, Madeline, Tess, and possibly Khalyn as assistant leaders.

I haven’t seen hardly any. I think Jenna had a couple of pics her group at the banquet in her instastory, but that’s about it as far as group pics that I’ve seen.

Well here's our answer re: Savannah getting ROTY.  It was just a shock to me since I think she made the squad by the skin of her teeth.  But it looks like her work ethic earned the recognition of her teammates and that is something I can respect.  

Always love the rookie pinky ring pictures.  Can't imagine how special that moment is considering all they go through to get to this moment.

Well I too am happy for Robin to be VOTY. I was hoping Jinelle would get it too. But Robin is definately a good choice

 

Can I also say, I am GLAD that Jenna did NOT get VOTY after the last year or so. She maybe a good dancer but sorry that is one "drama queen" with her. I am worried about next years squad with the amount of 4/5th year vets they'd have.

 

I don'tt think that Savanah's spot is safe. I mean there are girls who was given a Barbie for their performance in finals and some of them did not make it into training camp, and some made it into training camp and was cut either in training camp or have left during the season etc (is one example). There was a team (I forgot who, but I remember seeing it on that person's instagram ages ago) where the only person on the team who was "safe" and had a "free" pass straight onto the squad without having to try out again (if they were staying the following year) if they got pro bowl of that year.

If a girl gets a Barbie for their solo finals performance, it means they have made it into TC. I do not think Kelli would hand out a Barbie to a girl who did not make it into TC. Some girls may have a great solo routine, but they cannot get the DCC style down in TC, and some girls may have a half way decent solo routine, but they can nail the DCC style. In my opinion, I do not think the girls should be brought into TC just because the judges and especially Kelli and Charlotte like the girl's solos or because they like their looks even if they cannot dance worth a darn.

Agreed on your GL1 and 2 choices except maybe I'd add Kelli in the mix.  I keep thinking back to K&J's discussion with Tasha thanking her for her maturity.  I felt like that was foreshadowing of things to come.  I am adding Kelli because I think the new GL definition will be mature and non-partier.
