All Past Seasons of the Late Lamented Show

[aeroluv327]

I was watching S9 on Pluto a while back and noticed that both Emily Roslyn (who had been cut from training camp in S8) and Courtney (the finalist who had been in Bring It On the Musical in S8) were at auditions.  Now I can't remember if I saw them at semi-finals or at finals but I always think it's interesting when we don't get any acknowledgement of someone re-auditioning, especially when they got a lot of focus the year before.

They do this so much. Marie from season 6 comes to mind and Lacey from season 12.  It could be they chose not to be interviewed at subsequent tryouts, or it could be the MTT producers just went a different direction with the final editing. It really begs the question how many re-audition and we don't even get to see a glimpse of? That is the part I am super curious about.

I had Pluto on this morning while I was getting ready and it was the Mexico photo shoot with the bootleg Victoria’s Secret fashion show. I never noticed this before but when they are deliberating over the calendar pics, the sticker is still on the lens of Judy’s readers 😆

[ShutterbugCAM]

Watching Season 8 on Pluto. All these girls tried out that year, and NONE made it to Training Camp that year.

Melissa Wallace
Kelsey Lowrance
Stephanie Larson
Alexis Peterson
Auto Amy
Kelli Quinn Sullivan
Breelan
Ashley Hancock (TCC Season 14. I know she didn't make the team, but still notable since she came back years later after being with the Mavs for a while).

I probably missed some, too. It's crazy to me sometimes all the girls they pass up on. They're lucky some superstars like Melissa and Kelli even come back. Those could have been huge loses (for the DCC) had they just decided not to try out again.

Was Ashley on the Mavs when she auditioned in season 8?  I heard Mallory (the Mavs director) would not let the girls audition for the DCC because they were still under contract with the Mavs. They would have to retire in order to audition for another team. There was one year where Kelli Quinn Sullivan didn't audition for the DCC because she was on the Mavs. She and another teammate, Jamie were cut at finals so they both auditioned for the Ice Angels and made the team.

Ashley Hancock was a thunder girl from 2011-2013 and then 2015-2019 for Mavs

No, Ashley didn't join the Mavs until 2 years later. She was also an Oklahoma City Thunder dancer before trying out for DCC. Alexis tried out for DCC the same year, didn't make it, then when Mavs auditions rolled around, she tried out and made the team as an 18 year old. Her remaining with the Mavs was why she didn't try back out for DCC until Season 12 (2017).

Edit: I didn't see that Holly85 answered that until I clicked the next page LOL

Lexie also tried out for DCC one year and didn't make it. Know which year that was? Was it the same year she first joined the Mavs?

I spotted her in season 9 or 10 auditions, I can't remember which one now.

I’ve noticed breelan looks a lot like her beautiful mother when she didn’t do the bad eyeshadow    See I can say something nice-ish !!

[TB12]

Pet Peeve: the way Kelli and Judy say height, its NOT heighTH it drives me crazy bc then the TCC say it that way too bc they're prob terrified to correct them.

Also when Kelli was referring to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis as Jacqueline Onassis Kennedy and poor Meghan Flaherty started to say it the wrong way and corrected herself. I just laugh and laugh bc you know TPTB think they are the all knowing...

Just saw the annoying twins from Vega on a tik tok.      It was different.   And I still don’t like them 😂

Thoughts

1. Tess is great but she and Amy should have switched places. She looks weird in the triangle being that tall. She would've been able to rock the diamond spot.

2. Still don't understand the love Caroline got from K and J. She's in third row while Bridget and Rachel are in 4th.

I still think Maddie was a boring and not cute point. My eyes go straight to Lexie, then left more to Bridget. Tess doesn't look bad in that spot to me. 

[dariafan]

Season 8.  Ashley Paige   The time she is Called back before she is cut ..  she’s telling Judy and Kelli how she would be a silent leader.  And meet with people.   Except they showed her working from home & she couldn’t meet up with people   And when she says they want her to change her dance style in 24 hours.  No hun. They have told you all tc your style was too rigid.    They were telling you you had 24 hours for it to click

I fully agree re Maddie. She just didn’t have the wow-factor. I don’t think that Tess looked bad in that spot persé, but the differences in height made the entire triangle unevenly balanced. So the diamond position would have worked better, or  a tall girl on the other side of the triangle too.

[Kamal]

It just hit me that Jenna might have done 7 or 8 years if it wasn't for the Holly situation. She could've been the longest tenured DCC. She was still younger than a lot of girls and still has the power and drive to dance.

I agree. I'm sure Kelli & Judy "suggested" she retire after that year.

[dariafan]

There was a young woman who tried out years ago. She had been a laker girl and her mom was a cowboys fan.   I can’t remember if she made it semis or not.  But I think I just saw her on a cascada video from 2009.  Evacuate the dance floor.    Yes I am 1 of 4 people on my office and am looking at obscure stuff😎

Season 8 - Sandra Lynn from L.A.  She didn't make it past prelims, which I thought was a bummer.  She was definitely a better dancer than a one Kathryn Dunn.

ETA: A quick internet search (using her full name of Sandra Colton) reveals an extensive background in dance and entertainment.

Current and Past Game Day girls 2017-2021
So I got curious again.... 

I only did the past 5 seasons to reflect the tenure of this current team.
Also, finding this info out on social media gets harder and harder as the women retire and their official accounts get suspended or become private. Official DCC social media posts have always been spotty at best, but much better the past couple seasons.

Takeaways - the past two seasons only 3rd year and up vets were awarded with game day girl, except for Amanda she is the outlier, received her 2nd year. Chandi was the only 3rd year vet to be named game day girl this season (so far).

Prior to 2020 there werent as many 4th and 5th year vets, so it was more common for 2nd years to get it such as Bridgit, Alexis, and Caroline.  And 2017 - what a year - Selina, Cersten, and Jessika all were game day girls during their 2nd year.

Lexie and Gina have been Game Day Girl 4 times each, one for each season after their rookie year. Jalyn, 3 times, also one for each season after her rookie year.

I don't know how many times lengthy vets like Lacey, Jinelle, Jenna, and Amy L. were game day girls because that requires going back more than 5 seasons. 

The only 4th year vets in the past 5 years to not be named game day girl at least once before they retired were Savannah, and Rachel A. Their final season was the covid year though, and there were no pre-season games so the amount of game day girl recepients was reduced - instead of sharing the wealth they just continued awarding it to the same people (i.e. Gina and Lexie) and then threw in Amanda, who as a 2nd year, got awarded game day girl even after things are speculated to have already started going bad in DCC land. So they give her this award in late December? Read into it what you will 😄

Missing one game day girl from 8/26/2018. It is even talked about on this forum, and no one seems to know who it was (it wasn't Amy). If anyone knows? Please LMK! Likely candidates that I don't have listed for that season -  Maddie, Tess, Kelli Q., Yuko (who missed that game that day, so I wonder if it was supposed to be her).

Heads up UK fans, s13 is on ITV Hub. I know we end up watching the same series as that's all they show but it's one of the best ones IMO!

OK super random thing...
Remember Emily from season 10? She made it to TC but was cut early on for lacking power and being too shy? Almost like she had difficulty even talking?
https://making-the-team.fandom.com/wiki/Emily_(S10_TCC)

Last night I rewatched the first few episodes of season 13, and I swear she auditioned again! I made her out a few times, at one point you can see her at semi-finals dancing next to Brennan. Anyway, this is not on the fandom wiki site. Curious if anyone else ever noticed that.

It's possible she came back and auditioned again.

Here's a video of the 2015 SD Charger Girls auditions. Emily is talking at the beginning and later @ 1:35 sitting with former TCC (and Ice Angel) Rose.  Emily did not make the team but Rose did.

Thanks! That must be 2016 though. Looks like Bridget and Rose did one year together on the Chargers, Bridget as a vet and Rose as a rookie. Pro cheerleading - must be a small world.

Was this also part of the “I suspect it’s nutrition” side note that Kelli made to Judy? I loved the “some wine” at MFF tho, cracked me up. 
 

I know I’ve said this elsewhere but the early 20’s are tough as your metabolism changes and you’re navigating a full schedule and a social life and happy hours, etc.  Most of us have been there! Even those that maintain weight still might slip in good nutrition, etc. 90% of weight is lost in the kitchen, and the gym is to make it all look good. I had a dietician tell me once that diet determines how you look with clothes on, and working out is for how you look with clothes off. Lol.

Oh no! Going back to the OP, I always thought the green dress was the best Judy ever looked.  She had a good tan and the hair was perfect as always. That shade of green was definitely her color.

I'll never understand the Kat debacle except it was clear to me that a decision had been made behind the scenes that she wasn't going to be on the squad any longer. I thought she looked very pretty and perfectly appropriate. They were definitely coming for her. Brenda Teele is overtly selective with her hardballs and softballs *cough Season 12.

I thought perhaps because the dress was so oversized on Kat, the cut outs might have shown some side boob or under boob particularly when she was sitting.  The placement of the cut outs was odd.

I love Judy's dress, personally.  It's just a lovely ladies who lunch dress with an interesting collar configuration.  That said, it's not like there's any consistency in dress code!  

Edited January 10, 2022 by kalibean
Edited because "underboss" and "under boob" aren't the same thing, autocorrect!

[UnicornKicksBack]

I liked Kat. Kicks were perfection, I do think she had the look more than several of our last points, etc., but Kelli was over her, for whatever reason, so no matter what she did was going to be cut. 

[kalibean]

I liked Kat too, but she was very, very slim and Kelli doesn't seem to prefer that figure in the shorts.  As much as she picks on the gals who get weight warning, she tends to go for the dancers who are curvier and thicker (but still buff, mostly) for prime positions.  Kashara, Rachel W, Jenn A, Maddie, etc. in recent years.  And she was in awe of Dayton's figure in the uniform too.

[ByTor]

There is a CMT channel on Pluto, and they are now showing the season where the current 4-year girls made the team. I just saw the office visit when Victoria was told to work with Jinelle over her weight gain.
