Tess, Maddie and Erin shooting today.

Another with this gorgeous background.  Bridget, Rachel W. and Alanna.  Everyone looks great in this photo. 

Agree with whoever upthread said the candids are often better than the pro shots they are sharing.

Agree with whoever upthread said the candids are often better than the pro shots they are sharing.  But I'm sure they are saving the better pro shots for the calendar reveal.

Yup, because they are not worried about being “sexy”. They should just put these candids on the calendars. 

Rachel is ridiculously photogenic. I really hope they don’t over represent her in the calendars, but she’ll probably be highlighted a ton. I prefer Caroline; she’s also photogenic & I hope she gets some calendar love.

Agree on all the above.  They do so much better when relaxed and it shows.

I do hope Caroline makes the calendar.

Yay! A picture of Briana and Tess!!!

Gina definitely got her nose done. Not judging, just confirming. Pretty smile for her. 

Briana has a hip tattoo

I agree that RW is photogenic but IMO she always has that same wooden pageant expression in all her pics. Can she do sultry?

Honestly, I thought she looked rough last year too. Like someone who has been rode hard and put up wet

I mean this as a compliment, you are hilarious. You're like the Chelsea Handler of this forum.

[go4luca]

First one is a video grab so not that clear.

Question:  In the past have we seen the rookies featured this much?  Just curious.

The question to ask is that have they ever had this many talented, fit, and gorgeous rookies before? 

[go4luca]

I like how everyone in this shot now appears to be comfortable in front of the camera.

[ElenaFR]

I think the ladies look better in their own pics. I am a fan of natural vs. trying to look sexy. Natural to me is sexy. 

[go4luca]

Ciana looking way more natural in this pose than most.

This photo goes to show you don’t need to be boney skinny to look great. These 3 look great and healthy

Seasons one to five had many talented, fit, and gorgeous rookies along with the two hour special which lead to the show.

She is a standout as rocking these photos!

[dccfangirl]

the videos the girls shoot themselves are the WORST "hey people we are doing something boring PRODUCT PLACEMENT awkward pause WOOOOOO", I need them to stop!

Think this years calendar shoot looking the strongest for a while - this is the best returning vet class in a few years IMO

She looks beautiful! She pulls off the natural sultry look so many of the girls try and fail to do.

Totally agree.  But also, the DCC Instagram is also making this look like the whitest group of returning vets in a long time. I miss the days of Jacie, Mia and Whitney but even last year, Khalyn and Yuko were heavily featured ... this year, the girls of color are largely invisible.

There are currently no pictures of Bri, Ashlee or Gabby on the Instagram page, and we're on Day 6 of Bikini shoot - and I happen to think they are some of the prettiest girls of the rookie class.

Taylor and Alanna really impressed me, I thought they both looked great in the photos I have seen. Bridget of course has an amazing body and a cute smile. Rachel is photogenic but I find her a bit “cold” in pics, like she doesn’t really show her personality. And she is orange.

I really wish the squad was more diverse overall! 

[bigskygirl]

The rookie class is okay, but none of them come close to Nicole Hamilton, Whitney, Emma, Mia, Jackie Bob, Trisha, Crystal, Sunni, Lauren from Season 5, Sasha, Mackenzie from Season 6, Holly from Season 6, Jacie, Kinzie or Samantha.

I miss the girls from the earlier squads and think the squad has lost the magic touch since Season 7. Now when I look at the squad all I can think is blah!!!

[go4luca]

This rookie class is definitely one of the best we've seen in recent years for technique and how well they're doing in the calendar shoot.  But I agree with the above posts stating the lack of diversity both within the squad and with what's being presented online from this year's calendar shoot.  Would love to see this changed in the near future.

[bigskygirl]

I wonder if it has to do with all the blasted drama from the last few years, and the fact the show has been on for so long. The show has lost its charm from earlier seasons. Last year's TC seem to last forever.

Heather

[bigskygirl]

The girls look have way decent, but the poses look bad. It looks like they do the same type of poses every single year. Can't they do something different. So wonder Kelli was saying a about three or four years ago the sideline calendars were outselling the swimsuit calendars.

[dreamcatcher]

Ciana looks amazing! She needs to be included in the calendar for sure!

I have to say, Maddie looks even more like a kid this year instead of a mature GL. The rookies all look older and sexier than her. The suit they put her in didn’t help either.

[5678Pixie]

I want to know who is posting these pix on insta?  She should be fired.  This is terrible, makes her look so sad.  Please let the girls smile.  Hannah is do much prettier than this pix.

Totally agree. I love Hannah, but “about to burst into tears” is not a good calendar look.

Her body looks amazing, though. 

[go4luca]

The original was too dark for me.  Couldn't resist a quick play in PS.  Maybe she was going for a pensive look.  Regardless, I think she is beautiful.  There's something unusual or unexpected about her beauty.  It isn't cookie cutter.  Whatever it is, I really like that it's different.

[5678Pixie]

Look how much more beautiful Heather looks smiling in this pix than in all the rest of the pix taken of her that they have posted this week.

The squad of 2011 (season 6) was legendary!

Season 6 did have some good vets along with a lot of good rookies after the mass exit of veterans after Season 5. I was sad to see Olivia S. get the axe for standing up to Cassie. I would have like to see her on the squad for a few more years.

[heckkitty]

I think Heather is one of the few who looks great regardless of her expression.

It does. She’s gorgeous, I wish they just wouldn’t post terrible pics of her all the time.

I liked the rookie classes from seasons 1-5 because I feel like we got to know rookies well. They didn't just focus on one struggling rookie (Morgan, Karissa). The only 2 we didn't get to know was Vanessa J and Carey D (season 4) because I think they might not have wanted to be featured.

[bigskygirl]

I think Vanessa J. was called into the office once, but her scene was not shown.

[dccfan321]

My issue with the lack of diversity on this team is that they have very low diversity AND still don’t use what they have. if you look at the photos that have been posted from calendar, there are 2/3 (if you include Miranda) MAX that aren’t white women. i read this board often and it’s the end of the season and people still can’t tell Alanna, Caroline, Miranda, Amber, molly apart. I look at that as an indictment on the organization.

Was it here or on the old TWOP forums someone knew Vanessa's mom and said some stuff about the DCC?  I got the feeling that she wasn't happy being a DCC and that's why she didn't come back for a 2nd year.

I think she left to finish college, but I am not sure.

[go4luca]

This was from Erin's live so not sure if she means her final shoot day or the group.  I thought they were to be in Mexico for 10 days.  🤷‍♀️
