Season 14: Kelcey
Season 13: Caroline
Season 12: Alexis
Season 11: Selina
Season 10: Amy L.
Season 9: Victoria
Season 8: Samantha
Season 7: Kinzie
Season 6: Cassie K.
Season 5: Alyssa Sarasani
Season 4: Carey DePasquale
Season 3: Michelle Keys

Speaking of Michelle Keys, she looks 10x better with lighter hair.

Caroline should be point. I think she's the best dancer they have.

I also think Selina was underrated.

i know sheridan said she was going to come back (and was encouraged to) after her cut in season 11, but we didn't see her again until season 15. did she audition at all between those two camps?

yeah according to dcc wiki (lol), she was only in TC season 9, and then again when she made the team in season 12. i think she was seen at season 10 finals with a different shade. but for some reason i feel like she originally showed up with the brown color, before makeovers

Sheridan was a Dallas Mavericks Dancer sometime between her season 11 and season 15 appearances. That may be why she didn't try out again until season 15, after the Mavs dancers were no more.

Christina R. is first visible in Season 6 at auditions. She had that brown hair then too, and didn't make it into Training Camp. Funny thing is, at the same auditions were Keyra from Season 12, and of course Kalli Fullerton and Jordyn Ketchum. Season 6's auditions was like a bridge year of sorts. Bridging the older seasons with the newer.

As a straight male, I can confirm. Alexis was NEVER invisible. I still cross my fingers one of her sisters will try out. That's a beautiful family.

[Agent Gully]

I am one of the few folks who really liked Christina. Things didn't come easily for her, so perhaps I related to that. She did 3 years, and left without causing any scandals during her time as a DCC. Not everyone on the team is going to be a superstar. She lived her dream, left on her own terms, and I am happy for her.

I, of course,  know that everyone has their favorites and least favorites, not trying to change anyone's mind on her. The opinions are what makes this forum so interesting.

Amy came to my attention her third year trying out. Why? Because someone naming no names (Amy) totally fucked up the split jump on Game day practice and actually went into the split jump on game day practice instead of, (guys help me out I am not a dancer so I do not know the technical name of it) just stick her legs out in that standing position and nearly gave herself and the 2 girls to her either side and injury.

 

I think Kalli Fullerton was never right for DCC I think Kelli just found her totally cute and had brought her in to training camp just to see if she improved. As for Kathryn Dunn ... Erm how much dancing on court did she actually do for the 3 years that she was a Mavs? Or was she just like Malena and was solely an appearance girl? Between Kalli and Kathryn, Kalli came across grateful, mature and actually likeable both times, but Kathryn did come across the opposite and and her dancing was just not great either!!!

I too really liked Christina and her story and that she finally reached her goals and had a decent tenure on the team without being sacrificed like other vets were. She left Dallas and moved to my area right after she retired.  My daughter (who watches Pluto with me sometimes) and I are bound to run into her one day and will we be able to contain awkward gawking from a distance? I hope so, at least 😆

I believe in technical terms its a landing into a spaced fifth position. ( Also this is just what my ballet teacher would say) BUT in DCC world they would just call it "Marking the Jump Split"

Can someone help me out? I keep reading that Hannah and Brennan were offered the chance to take 2020 off and come back and audition in 2021. I remember that "offer" for Brennan but I don't remember it for Hannah. I just watched her office visit (about dancing with bugs in her basement) and it wasn't mentioned. I don't have access to the other episodes. Was she "offered" this chance in another episode?

If you’re talking about the Jinelle situation with Victoria… Kelli asked to Jinelle to help Victoria with weight management. She reached out multiple times and even made appointments for her, and Victoria ignored her. Victoria ended up getting called into the office with Jinelle there, and got called out. Jinelle even told her if she didn’t want the help she should’ve just let her know. Big yikes moment. Kelli ended up telling Victoria that she needs to treat DCC as a job and that she doesn’t think she’s ready. I believe she got cut the next time she got called into the office or maybe even the time after that. Can’t remember lol.

Jinelle was appointed by Kelli to help Victoria with her eating habits and how to get to the desired weight but there was some ‘disconnect’ about this and Jinelle was present at the office visit about this (season 13 I believe). There was a doctors appointment Victoria didnt go to because she wanted to deal with it with people who knew what they were talking about (since Jinelle was a natural skinny, according to Victoria) without informing Jinelle.

I don’t know TBTD, only TPTB, the powers that be.

I am rewatching Season 6 and loved that they called the girls out for social media and did a seminar on it. I wonder how that would go nowadays. 
 

I also read that S6 rookie Cassie Kathleen made show group her rookie season but got cut at finals the next year had no air time whatsoever in S6 and only airtime in S7 was her getting cut. I wonder why she had the lack of airtime.
 

I hadn’t seen a rookie make SG and then get cut besides Kaitlin LeGrand. Anyone know if she’s doing ok nowadays?

Haha, yeah I remember them showing Cassie's on-camera interview after she was cut, I was like, "WHO???"  I don't think we saw her once her rookie year, I just looked at the DCC:MTT wiki and you're right she did make show group.  

I agree, I liked seeing the social media seminars.  And Kelli calling out Taylor specifically.  "That place you were at looked nasty."  LOL

I believe Gina is in this group. Also Taylor, unless she moved groups.
Gina is the obvious choice for GL this year.
Don't they rearrange groups sometimes? So your group one year might be different the next?

I liked Christina, too.  She seemed sweet and real and more mature than some of the younger DCC's.  Looking at her instagram, I see she got herself a, um, figure.

I vaguely recall someone posted on the old TWOP that Carey didn't want to be featured.

She was an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader (also their PBC) for 7 seasons! Also a DCC for 2 season so that makes 9 years of  pro cheerleading.

Wondered if anyone else ever noticed in Season 2, when they go to take the squad photo, they don't have the stars on the back of their belts?  Also, there's a quick shot of one girl going to go stand in the photo and she doesn't have stars on her belt at all.  I thought it was weird since they always have the stars on the back of the belts.

Do not care for Jennifer the salon manager   You could tell Loren was nervous about the changes, you trying to freak her out by saying a black Bob was not helping.  Or funny    I did like the look they gave her. ( that blonde color she had was way too much )

Yes! Half the time it seemed like K&J forgot she was there the previous year, I remember one of them saying something about wanting to see how she photographs her second year even though she had made it to cameos the year prior.

Can't find the post but someone shared a MTT you tube channel that had the veteran cuts over the seasons.

While they were all sad OMG i forgot how gut wrenching Tara's cut was, i burst out crying while working just now. I remember thinking it was out of left field when it happened and being so pissed for her but wow, her sweet face in that office visit, wow was she blindsided and I can see why especially seeing some of the other rookie candidates that could've potentially replaced her...

that was probably my worst Vet cut, she did not deserve that and was clearly so well loved by her teammates, the way they all hugged/sobbed with her. i remember seeing that instagram story with them all at Ihop eating pancakes. OMG i'm so mad all over again. TPTB make some of the worst decisions but wow, that one hits hard even still...

Deleted scene of Alexis so that probably explains why we didn't see her much in season 12. I'm glad I'm not the only one who realized how much the guys love Alexis. I wonder how Neal McCoy felt about her, but at the same time I'm glad I don't know cause Neal really gives me the creeps. I love Alexis as well and out of all the cheerleaders ever, she's definitely one of the ones who had the most sex appeal and she's just very gorgeous in general. She always gave me porn star vibes and I don't mean that as an insult, I'm actually complimenting. Reddit and not DCC reddit just a random reddit page where they feature hot cheerleaders made a post about how hot she is so I looked to see if they had any other DCC on that page and they didn't they did just Alexis. @ShutterbugCAM Since you're a straight guy, what are your thoughts about Dayton Bramhall? Please don't answer the question with something negative haha. I find her to be Alexis level gorgeous without the sex appeal and I really think she could blossom into the DCC that Alexis was if she were to live up to her potential which I can't wait to see one day.

 If you go to the 30 minute work you can see Alexis and the photographer is at loss of words for how amazing she is.

Thank you to one of your members for sending me the link to the 2 hour special that aired in 2005. 

Kelli use to have compassion and humility. It's actually sad to see the woman she has become. Does she ever watch the show and cringe at the things that come out of her mouth? I would be embarrassed if I were her or a member of her family. 

A rookie was cut and a vet was crying to Kelli about the fact that she was going home to an empty house and had no one there for her. Kelli showed compassion and told the vet to go talk to her. That would never happen now. Even the way she addressed weight, makeup and hair was much more professional. I think it's time for Kelli to be replaced. She has become complacent. I also think Judy needs to go as well. She is the choreographer but does nothing except sit on her stool. All of the dances are from guest choreographers. Even the dances they did in 2005 I see in Thunder 15 years later. Judy, tonight is going to be your last night.

I know I fly pretty solo with my unpopular opinion about Tara, but I was surprised she made it. IMO she was one of the cheerleaders Kelly picks every year for storyline and then is gone year two. 
 

Kelli always hates when girls have short legs for their frame like Tara does, and Tara is on the sporty cute side of things when Kelli usually goes for the glamour girl. Tara also had a weaker calendar shoot. 
 

That said, Tara’s locker room love said so much about her character and friends on the squad, and it sucks she was booted. IIRC, she had some personal stuff going on and it was impacting her dance. Like what they said for Hannah, except Hannah was still awesome.
