Maybe you'll see me on the show soon enough! Hoping to be the first British woman to make it.

Hey, more power to you for just going for it!  Best of luck and keep us posted.  It would be fun to have a forum member to cheer on!

[go4luca]

Granted Lauren has big eyes, but I love that she doesn't have the added caterpillar lashes.  Some of the ladies keep theirs in check while others go too far (VK).  I get that the added length reads well from the nose bleeds, but with all their close-ups and photographs, I find they can look pretty cray-cray if too long.

I wonder how weird it is for them when they retire to go back to natural length lashes.

Some of you regular forum denizens blow me away with all the specs you maintain in your head bones!

Is it weird that I ❤️ that you used the word “denizen”? I’m such a word geek... ? 

[Hummingbird24]

My top three are

1. Lacey

2. Lauren

3. Amy-she has always been one of my absolute favorites!!

Had to share one funny moment. My hubby knows nothing about what we talk about on this forum. But last night when Charlotte started walking toward the girls to announce the team, he said without any prompting, “Holy crap, who let Skeletor on the field???” I lost it...???

Okay.  Here's where I am now and from now on, I will leave all grid & diagrams to @Tootie, LOL.  It's nuts keeping up with this and I have a house to clean!  But mostly it was fun and my curiosity compelled me to do it.  

NOTES:  Those that remained a vote of only one name, I counted as "3".  Those that listed two names but listed more than one name for their 3rd choice, I only listed the first two.  Anyone who listed more than three names I didn't include because the rules stated pick three names only.  If you change to only three names, I can amend at some point.

I did my best to accurately record your votes but with all the listings buried in this thread, I may have missed some so feel free to let me know!

@sleepyjean - thanks for starting this.  It was fun to see how it landed. :o)

Compare Amy's sleeve (which I think looks good) compared to others.

 

I hadn’t noticed that but wow they really do look huge!

REALLY?! What idiots.

Someone should have noticed this when the picture was taken. Even so they could have added contrast to that area so it was more evident it is arms and not one long arm.

Not all people find all jokes funny.

Kelli asked Maddie in her interview if she'd have an issue with the uniform because of her religion, and Maddie said (paraphrasing) it's all good if it's worn with "grace."

whose Grace?

Reese's I've heard of (my "claim to fame," I'm actually (very) distantly related to the guy (H.B. Reese) who created Reese's peanut butter cups ?) -- it's the RECESS brand I'm unfamilair with.

I think TPTB thought it was a waste of money for the DCC to have their own site, so they fired the website people and incorporated the site into the Cowboys site. It’s awful.  All of the complaints are warranted. They had a dedicated person who did everything on the DCC and she was great. The site had a place for the girls to write stories and experiences (Jackie Bob’s were the best) and they got paid a small amount of $ to post stuff. 

What a colossal mistake.

I asked Kelli why the change happened and her reply was 'more eyeballs'. I much preferred the old DCC website with the gameday photos, blogs from both Kelli and the girls and the gameday videos too. Wish they had of let it be :-(

I never got the reasoning behind that question. She's there, of course she's going to be okay with wearing the uniform. Did they really think she was going to say, "Oh, wait, you mean I have to wear THAT uniform just like everyone else? You're not going to make special accomodations for me & give me a more modest uniform? Well, darn, I guess I'll have to give up my dream & high-tail it back to Utah."?

If I were one of TPTB, she's certainly someone I'd want to put out in front to represent the brand with all the the crap from the last two training camps. I'll go back to being fair and change two of my votes to Tasha and Maddie.

[PBSLover]

Those sleeves are ridiculous. They are way too long. If these uniforms are custom made, they all need some tailoring. What the hell is going on in the organization? Now the uniforms don’t even fit correctly.

It's like they are inflatable...like those life vests on airlines... OR they are uniform tops from Clown School.

[JerseyGirl]

My 3 picks:

1.  Gina.  Love when she shakes her head, outdances the others and pops the poms.  Vote for point next year too. 

2.  Erin. Tall, slim with curves, getting good with the choreography and looks great in uniform. 

3. Bridget. She is probably the most enjoyable, fun to watch, big smile up to the rafters kind of girl. 

 

If you asked me last year, Tara would have been on the list. Boo hiss Kitty.

So glad to see Brennan make it.  That hug that Kelli gave Brennan before the game tells me that she is really glad to see Brennan make it.  I loved that!!!

Everytime I think I can’t love Ashlee more, they give her a minute to speak and my respect for her goes up even more.  

Thank you CMT for letting Briana speak and focusing on her for one minute.  Damn!  I’ve been waiting all season to hear from Briana and Brennan as comebacks.

I’m so going to miss you Lacey!  And Kashara.

But this rookie squad this year really is talented.

For my top three?  That’s hard.  Khalyn, Lacey and Lauren.

Well said!!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Do they use a big fan for the cameo photography?  If they do, then the sleeves are flattened out by the fan for the pictures.    They certainly need a fashion photographer to take the pictures, so the cameos are better, and for the calendar pictures too.

Lauren looks so pretty this year, I swear she looks slightly different than last year, maybe it’s different makeup.  I like that she doesn’t wear those heavy ridiculous fake lashes, VK seriously could barely keep her eyes open in most of the shots of her which really didn’t help with her looks. 

Are we still doing the top 3? If so, mine are Kashara, Lacey and Jalyn

Look for the red arrow on the picture.  Pointing to the low kick person.  I am guessing it is Molly

ETA @CPA1967's votes and my original post went poof.

Oh well.  This one includes @sleepyjean the author of this vote, herself.  Attachments are clickable for larger versions.

Looks like Lauren is in the lead and heading towards the club house turn.

Contrary to popular belief, I do have a life and a 103lb Labrador to feed dinner so exiting stage left.

p.s.:  If you included more than the allotted 3 picks, you're not on here.  Those that couldn't decide on their 3rd pick, I included your first two only.

Lauren looks so pretty this year

She is one of my favorites and I was just going to say she looks "leathery". Too much tanning or something.  I guess none of them can really do the "fresh face" look.  Not a fan of  Cienna's hair style  - I would like to see her with a blow out. I want to say that she is hapa and straighter hair makes her features stand out a little more.

I wonder how much is low kick & how much is timing? The ones closest to us are at their nose & then get lower as they go down the line (although she's still lower than those next to her). So, was it really an extremely low kick, bad timing, or both?

Thank you so much. As usual, I am late to the party. I just fed my nursery full of Calfs. It’s baby season on the farm, and for some reason we have mommas rejecting their little ones. The nursery now has 4 little bottle fed calf’s. Our cows need momma classes. :)

[heckkitty]

I should change one of my votes to Cianna, because she is a pretty good dancer despite having one gorilla arm. 

 

Not really. 

[pisces125]

Those sleeve pics made me lol.  It looks ridiculous!

 

Why don't more people like Savannah?  She is probably my fave.  Is it really because she was having a little trouble at the end of last year's TC?

Sigh....KaShara is not playing up her country origin or her accent.  I have family from the same county she is from and my daughter had friends who were on the dance team at EKU with her...this is just how she is and always has been.   So unless you're from Estill county, you don't or won't get it.  She was raised in the country...where we girls learn to ride horses (without saddles at times), change oil, tires, brakes, shoot guns/bows and I bet she can field dress a deer that she shot herself as well.  We don't "play" it up to be cute, it's just how we are. 

Agree...it’s natural and not played up.  I live in the next town over from Kash and have had comments made on my accent all my life. Leave a voice mail to a colleague in a north state..ahem...Michigan...and they play it on speaker over and over saying LISTEN TO THIS ACCENT!!  People either love or they don’t...but it’s ours, it’s unique and we are proud of our heritage.
