Christina -- I love a good underdog story but she lost me with the red pantsuit and I never thought her dancing was that hot.

I would have cut her at finals but not in training camp for the same reason I wouldn't cut Tara. Vets, if they make it into  training camp should be kept unless they do something terrible,

I do not like rookie Madeline's facials at all. She could go and I'd be fine. I think beauty pageant Rachel does nothing in terms of dance. She weak. Malena of course. Lily only because of that bonus scene on MTT- she looked weak and not bold at all. Taylor's kicks aren't all that great. She's tall but I don't see a standout there. There are some other vets that are major blending or just not fun -- but they are in training camp so I'd let them stay. Oh and Caroline while a good dancer, she keeps her chin tucked in and back and it's weird looking. Oh and while I'm on a roll Jalyn is a good dancer but tooooo skinny.

Agreed. I don’t see the comparison. They’re both beautiful girls, but beyond that, they seem night and day to me. Kalyssa, love or hate her, never seemed boring, scripted, or timid to me. Rachel however seems dull as dishwater. Now, i say seems because she may be full of personality behind all of that makeup and carefully crafted pageant persona, but I don’t think it has ever come through on the show. Likewise, in terms of dance, Kalyssa was powerful but very messy IMO. Rachel lacks power, but doesn’t have the untrained dancer look. It’s clear she has good technique and a strong dance background. 

One thing I gotta say for Rachel -- I loved it when she told Mentor Melissa that a lot of the DCC dances seemed kind of the same to her. I've often thought the same thing (even though I still love watching them dance). Maybe it's just because they use a lot of the same moves but rearranged for different songs... In any case, whether or not anyone agrees, Mentor Melissa's dumbfounded deer-in-the-headlights look in response to Rachel's comment cracked me up. Has anyone else rendered MM speechless before? ;)

Looking at this game day photo, I can sorta see Maddie's softness. I think Kashara looks just right. And I definitely prefer Kash and Maddie's figures over Gina's pronounced rib cage. I admire Gina's dance skills, but she looks almost painfully thin.

Is that Jinelle -- three girls back from Gina on the outside?

I’m probably in the minority, but I preferred Maddie’s hair straight, especially compared to this years hair, last year it looked fine. So I’d like to see her with straight hair, but i know those curls are kind of her image and I doubt she’d be allowed to change that. 

I actually hope Malena comes back. I like her dancing and if she could get her nerves or memory together she could be amazing. Maybe seeing how close she was will help her confidence.

I already have trouble telling the 2 Madeline’s apart (when they’re not dancing). If they straighten her hair, I’ll be totally lost ???

I don't even know what that means?! Man, Kelli has a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth. I predict another mass DCC exit. This time Kelli's to blame.

YES! The "performance signals" quote was hilarious. I was like what does that even mean?!

and Hannah.

Kaitlin was cut because she was showing up late and acting strange and possibly lying.  Chelsea for the weight and toxic attitude. Hannah for weight. None were cut for "not giving us the same performance signals." 

Basically, she had no real credible reason. And how she said she wanted to explain why? Well, she failed. THIS was the BS this season.

Yeah, i saw that...i would imagine she had permission. Those women are on lock down. It would have been removed if she hadnt had permission

speaking of "vet life outside of dcc" - what does Kashara do? She keeps mentioning changing oil and other car stuff... does she work in or own a mechanic shop ?

If you lived in a rural area it would be easier to understand the humor in her comment about changing oil.  I never thought I would be servicing my Kubota which includes changing blades (3 of them!), changing oil, filters, air filters, etc.  I even had to rewire it after the mice ate some wiring.  I learned to change a carburetor on my golf cart and regularly use the pole saw.  And I can even change the chain on it.  Oh the tiller--I had to replace the gasket in the float bowl this spring when it was leaking gas.  And the chipmunks had gotten in the space where the pull cord is wound.  I had to remove that and take all the acorns out.  So basically if you live in the country it's a learning to survive thing.

I have been off the boards for a few days. Work and what not had me busy. Some thoughts have been on my mind and I figure this is a good place to voice what I've been thinking since Thursday night. What is up with Maddie?!  I was not at all a fan her first time in training camp. When she came back and made the team I was indifferent. She looked much better but she's always been a "whatever"  for me. This year though she seems very soft, thick around the middle and for a GL very timid and insecure. As KF likes to say, apologizing for being there. 

Sorry if this has been asked, I'm still trying to catch up. Why was Kahlyn not with the other SG members at the F1 event last weekend?

They definitely don't care since its not really a spoiler as all the girls who made it have posted game day pics and have twitter accounts already. Her page is already filled with DCC pics so someone would have to be pretty dense to not realize she made it lol

Lauren could be a dark horse for point, she has the look and the figure. I'm not sure if she has the dance ability or the sparkle, but she photographs great and seems to be super sweet. Then again...with her job maybe she wouldn't want the extra responsibility of being point.

I think you are so correct on this :)

I loathe Maddie's curly hair. last year it was fine, but this year...the curls are so uncultured, it just looks and moves like a shapeless, dirty mop on her head, like a super bad home perm from the 80s. not cute, not sexy. it looks utterly vile to me, and doesnt mesh with the rest of the girl's looks at all, all sleek big hair.

We just might see Miss Brennan as point one day.  Never say something isn't possible with hard work and perseverance.

Personally, I don't ever see it happening, even with hard work and perserverance.  She doesn't have the 'look' to me of a point girl, nor do I think her dance is powerful enough. plus Kelli seems to have a real bug in her ear abut her coming back again this year, making out like its all about Brennan wanting to make it for the sake of making it, not because she's dying to be a dcc or some other guff. I just don't thnk Brennan is anywhere near charasmatic enough of a performer for point.

Is Lauren an RN? I thought she was but on the meet the cheerleaders it says she's working as a cryogenic technician (which doesn't require a nursing degree).

she's a registered cardiac nurse and has been for over four years now

I don’t think kahlyn is on show group

She is a registered nurse.  If I'm not mistaken, she took a break from her RN position, so the cryo job may mesh better with her DCC committments.

She is on show group. They took 17 instead of the normal 16. I don't think she's able to make all of the SG appearances because of her job.

Rachel was  more of a sure bet to make the team than Victoria ever was. She is not a risk to them in any media situation, interview or public appearance, she knows how to navigate the drama of working with groups of women, she brings all the attention of being runner up to miss USA, which is quite impressive,  her dancing is good enough, and she’s gorgeous.

Rachel is a great addition to the team and I hope she stays a while. 

Rachel and VK do not live in the same universe. Please, VK couldn't come close to being RW's toenail. Some women are born with IT.

I could see her in the triangle next year with Kashara and Lacey retiring.

Although my guess is Gina is high in the running based on her placement this year, Lauren is who I've been thinking about as a dark horse as well.  She's always been a fav of mine and is on SG so definitely can dance.  Not sure her plans since she is also engaged and has a career but I'd love if she remained at least one more year.

Since her instagram picture is in her DCC uniform, I guess that is spoiler enough.

All the other rookies also have pictures of them in uniform on their social media.  Hell, even the DCC official Twitter account has plenty of pictures of the rookies in uniform.  Who made the squad is the worst kept secret in the universe :)  Seriously, though, isn't this the latest a season has gone?

After seeing some of the updates about former DCCs and clips of what the Vets do in their daily lives, I'm really hoping that CMT and TPTB decide to do these things next season. I don't mind a little drama but VK featured on every episode was a little too much for me. If DCC MTT wants to continue on, that kind of drama is going to turn more people off, IMO.

What are some things that you do like or that you want to see? I like the former DCC and the Vet features and I've also liked small clips of hair or makeup tips while dancing. How do they get their makeup to stay looking fresh? How about their hair? 

  • Love 4

The girls I think could be point (or would like to be point, not that they are asking me!)

  • Lexie (if she doesn't retire)
  • Heather (if she doesn't retire)
  • Daphne (I could see her being a future point; on SG and the right look)
  • Bridget/Amber (still can't tell them apart but like them both!)
  • Tasha (pretty so I could see it although I don't think she's a standout dancer)

I'm personally not a fan of Gina's (I find her dancing distracting, and too 'big') or Maddie (Not the right look for point).
