So, during last week's calendar reveal episode. Am I the only one that noticed that Tara was not featured in any of them! Five calendars and no Tara! At that very moment is when she should of become worried about her spot. IMO, when the camera captured her in that scene, she just did not look well. I was also shocked that she had her glasses on in the DCC world.. 

Not odd because they don't show every reveal on the show.   I'd be interested to know if she is in the 2,000 calendars they have.

Tara might be in the 365 days a year desk top calendar. I have seen vets who were cut at finals made the one daily calendar.

Ok, so I just went online and I found Tara on a calendar. So, that kills my theory on weight being the reason she was cut.

I'm now rewatching season 11.  Maybe it's not rewatching and just watching, because nothing seems really familiar to me.  In episode 2, for example, Brennan said something I never knew, that she is an ordained minister.  Imagine all the DCC weddings she can do!  Also, I remember people talking about Tess and her curly hair.  As a rule I hate curly hair...I have curly hair and fry it with a flat iron...but I am shocked at how much better I think her hair looked that way!

Does the poster @JohnGalt still comment on the forum? I would like to know why Tara was cut,

I'm not sure why people are saying it's not symmetrical??  It's like, OCD perfect!  lol

We are looking at it from an angle, but midline is Alexis, Khalyn, Rachel W and Hannah.

It looked to me like the group photo on the main calendar had Jenna in it to the right of KaShara.

Tara is in the main swimsuit calendar and the sideline calendar.  (She's more than likely in the desk box set and there's no way to tell who the 12 are on the desk pad--besides Lacey and Gina.)

I find it strange that Tasha isn't in either of the two wall calendars... she is in the sideline one, though.

Tara was cut for weight and because she was being out-danced.

Looking at it a 2nd time, Lacey doesn't so much look jammed in, it's how the legs are bent.  As you can see, Alexis' legs are bent to our left and Tess' are bent to our right, which makes it look like they should be the only 2 there, but then you have Lacey in the same position as Alexis.  Maybe Alexis should have been sitting with knees bent straight & sitting on her heels?

Or she could've pulled a "Kelli Finglass" to look different from Lacey & Tess!!   lol

I don't like the gaps in this years group photo, I wonder what's up with that...

Nope, not just you :)  I don't like the 1st row, you have Gina & Heather on the ends, Alexis and Tess in the center, then "Oh, right, we forgot about Lacey, let's plop her over here."  The symmetry is gone with putting her where they did.

Seriously wonder if Heather up front was proof she's not in the dog house, and Lacey not further up means they're sort of over her. Not that she's done anything wrong, but when it's known it's your last year, youre kind of an afterthought sometimes. 

OMG KELLI could she be posed more awkward while also screaming LOOK AT ME I WILL BE FRONT AND CENTER EVEN IF I HAVE TO CRAWL MY WAY ON TOP OF PEOPLE.

Why is Gina sitting on the floor right up front? She has only been on the team for two years! She is not camera friendly! (Sorry, I know that is petty and rude, and she is way better looking than I ever was, but that is how I feel).

YAASSS. I agree with all this. Get ready to see her up in the triangle, especially with Kashara, Lacey and probably Maddie retiring.

When people talk about it's all over social media, I understand that, but if your friends don't discuss current events or just refer to something, you aren't getting the full picture.  That's why I think you have to read newspapers online, or look at CNN.com or something like that.

The best way to get well rounded information is to watch all kinds of news shows and read different papers. Just watching CNN will give you just a one sided opinion. I encourage my kids to watch and ready everything.

[Lexusprincess]

My guess Gina is going to be point next year.  Great dancer.  Pretty although sometimes her face can look harsh when she squints.  They keep pairing her with Kashara appearances at the school, roommates in Oxnard, etc.   I see this as TPTB want some of Kash's natural leadership, sense of fun, and overall great treatment of people to rub off on Gina.  Gina has come along way on being more of a team player.  You can see in socail media she is true friends with most of the squad.  Maddie is an amazing dancer.  I just don't see her at point because she is more cutesy than pretty.  Lacey and Kashara will be gone.  Alexis is beautiful but not the strongest dancer.  Little Kelli great dancer but I don't see her as the face of DCC even though she made cover girl.  (and the anointed one should have followed Kelli around who is so tiny and snacks so healthy)

 

and I miss John Galt's insight and what seemed to be love for the girls.

I would also through in a news source from across the pond. Always interesting to see how the world perceives the top news  stories.

I've been missing them as well. I appreciated the fact he/she really cared about the girls and gave insight while still being careful not to be harsh about the things they posted. 

 

Regarding the team photo - I noticed Christina was kind of off with the rookies more than any other vet too. It does seem a little off with Lacey and Alexis posed sitting and then just Tess poses the opposite direction. The OCD in me thi is there should be either another girl by Tess or Alexis should be more towards the center with Lacey/Tess (or whatever girl is in that position) bracketing them. Hope that makes sense! Other than that I think it looks off just because the picture is slanted because of the way it was posted.

I like it better than last year's. Better composition, especially the front two rows.

KaShara looks so gorgeous I hardly recognized her! She’s a beautiful woman, but I actually went into a panic because I couldn’t spot her right off. In fact, it took me looking at everyone 3x! She’s an absolute stunner!

She's not up front because she was front and center last year.  danielle was front and center in season 10 and then was moved the next year.  Just the way they do it.

Yes, but Danielle was on the front row her last year, along with the other 2 5-year girls on the team, so i don’t really think it’s comparable. Had Lacey been positioned where Gina is, that would be fine IMO, but she’s off to the side, behind 2 year girls. It’s just odd. I also feel like Amy should have a better position though, so it’s not just a Lacey issue for me. 

Now that someone pointed out the leg placement of Tess, Lacey, and Alexis, I can’t stop looking at how awkward that looks. Just a bad picture all around, IMO.

Edited October 10, 2018 by Jess14

[ClosetDCCFan]

The squad photo really emphasizes how many brunettes are in the rookie class!  It’s strange that they put Hannah and Erin together (back row), and Rookie Rachel and Daphne together (third row down) instead of breaking up all that dark hair in the back. 

Same thinking as to Savannah’s placement.  Her between two blondes makes that second row look lopsided.  I realize they wouldn’t put Savannah front and center, but maybe Khalyn middle front with Lacey and Alexis on either side, Savannah behind Khalyn, and then Tess in Savannah’s current spot. Or maybe swap Savannah and khalyn’s spots? 

I think Gina looks great with the sultry close-mouthed smile. 

Maddie’s hair is bad.  As a curly-haired girl myself, I’m all for the natural locks, but they need to be softened up with some product or something. 

PS Brennan looks great.

Makes sense to me, since that's what I'm (awkwardly) trying to say too :)

She said on a podcast that she uses Aveda's Be Curly cream.  That stuff is BAD for my hair, way too much protein, maybe it's one of those things where it works fine at 1st then does nothing (probably build-up).

Not really a Gina fan here, but she's not hunched to me. More like a long torse and she's keeping her head and shoulders straight, keep balance. I'd love to call out Gina for bad dance, but this isn't the case. I'm a bitch. Yay.

Finally watching last week's podcast and dang Christina is one smug bitch. You'd think she breezed in and had Gina skills or Tasha looks the way she presents herself. Me no likey.

Ugh - that full shot of Kelli is bordering on obscene w/ her swimsuit up her crack and her butt sticking out.  Smh.  That Savannah shot is horrible too.  Like she’s about to pull off her bottoms and not even in a sexy way - but more like I need to pee way.  Why can’t they be more tasteful in these photos?  How does Kelli pick some of those poses?

Well veteran Rachel is next to Christina, so she’s not completely alone with the rookies.

How? No shade, but there's not really anything to emphasize anyone on the squad to miss them. Further, she's honestly forgetable considering how good this rookie class has been so far.

Meh..I don't think her placement means anything other than the fact that she has seniority over the rookies..

Here's the squad photo that someone posted in the Facebook group I'm in (Hi Tracy if you are in here!! Thanks for sharing!!)  It's not tilted and the girls are easier to pick out.

[ATLGirl]

How did Alexis move from being in the back row in the team photo her rookie season last year to being on the front row in the center this year?

Yes, she's pretty, but that's quite a leap to take in one year.

I wonder if it’s more mixing of hair color than seniority.  There’s about as many brunettes as blondes this year.

All of my complaints still stand. 

And I'm gonna add one, Christina and Jayln should be swapped. Christina is more in line with Alanna's height and Jaylyn lights up more with Bridget. 

It's far from OCD perfect...I don't like this year at all. 

Poor Cianna has the arm of slenderman. Or conjoined with Jalyn. Jalyn is standing full on to the camera while her counterpart Brennan is standing at an angle. Jalyn should also be at an angle to take away the never ending arm look they have going on. 

And Amber has the same "I'm wearing a blue dress with a cut out" look that Caroline has going on.

(I would have stopped it after Vivian -- especially second year when she pouted for the camera.)

[SmpIsimon]

They actually should have done it this year as I'm sure Victoria would have won (given her family's connections).  Then, Kelli would have had something at least to justify keeping her around ("Well, I know she's gained a ton of weight and dances out of control, but the fans just love her!").

They stopped it after the one girl who won the vote in Season 11. She was told she would not have made it to TC without winning the fan vote. I think they finally figured out it was a complete waste of time and effort because it was family and friends who were helping girls get into TC instead of the viewers and fans of the show actually getting a fair chance to vote for the one girl they like and thought deserve a spot in TC.

Much better than last year's photo in terms of overall composition - especially the front two rows. My only complaint is that I think they should've raised up the second to last row more. You can barely see those poor girls. Of course, this would also mean that they would have to raise up the back row as well, but I think it would provide better visual parity for each girl.

The synopsis of tonight's episode says one women is cut tonight, and the lat 2 episodes are 2 cuts each. So, who gets cut tonight? Tara or maybe Kristin?
