I don't remember season numbers, but the one with the huge rookie class when Chelsea was a rookie had 2, Emily & Teri.

season 7. yes, those are good ones. they acted like emily was some goddess bombshell whom they couldn't possibly NOT have on the team...which...she's fine, but really? it was bizarre. and teri was so lame. this season is especially weird because they had an extra large squad to accommodate for them...of all people

Awwww I thought she was a good fit. She was cute and seemed like she was a sweetheart. Her cut was sad.

I don't understand Teri, she was a DCRB, so must have been a really good dancer, but I just didn't care for her as a DCC.

[parrotfeathers]

I thought it was rather dumb to cut Ann Lux.

Erica - I still to this day will never understand the fascination around her... 

[ByTor]

I just thought of someone else in the boring/dry category...Jessika.

She was cut? I thought she made it on her 1st try & retired after 2 years?

You are right she retired after her 2nd season

I think Ann Lux would have been cut if she hadn't wisely retired after year 2. If I recall correctly, Charlotte didn't care much for her.

Thanks @Holly85, I thought so.

Jessika did 3 years with DCC.

I remember her rookie TC she was coached by Melissa, and she seemed sweet and genuine, but how she kept her spot all 3 years is indeed a DCC mystery.

Well....not a correction, per se. Like I said, I thought she made it on her 1st try, I thought maybe you meant she was cut at prelims/semis/finals in a prior year 😄

I forgot she made it to veteran status.  In an early episode in season 6 -- "[As she’s dancing on the field at finals, Charlotte turns to Kelli, says “Kelli,” and shakes her head]"--from Fandom.

I just needed to watch that whole season again before commenting!

7'th post. Once the video is zoomed in whose the blonde in the all blue top second from our right, in the back row. It looks like Melissa W to me or is it someone else? Because to me she is completely behind in the dance routine.

I will say that they're spaced out so I can forgive kicks a little. Tess, Danielle, and Alanna's kicks were good, Maddie's was terrible, everyone else seemed a little poor. And Alanna's closeup was gorgeous! She was so overlooked while on the team.

Maddie's kicks were never that awesome... she always did that hunch... where she leaned into her kicks.  They were pretty bad in this. 🧐

Kind of like Tess made it seem like 10 yrs 😂

Denise choreographed Erica's solo? No wonder its all about "tricks" in her solos ......

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.

Thank-you for sharing this !!

She was. Ann Lux tried out in season 4. She's in some scenes, including celebrating with the girls who made finals, but she had 0 focus and didn't make training camp until Season 5.

Don't be. It happens when you leave the show on as background noise on Pluto, look up and notice something you never did the first 99 times you watched.

I have noticed a lot of DCCs in earlier seasons sitting in the chairs, interviews or dancing that didn't make it to TC on their first try.

The only ones I did notice were Kelli Q and Hannah, but it's only because I looked for them due to observant people like you pointing it out to me 😃

[Uk-Eve]

Kelli Q is the best one in my opinion. Remember her rookie year?

And Kelli's feedback was "clean, perfect, how many times have you tried out?"

Kelli Q: "This is my fourth time" 

Dementia Kelli: "Wow why have I NEVER noticed you before?

 

Yet on 2 separate seasons before Kelli is sitting there in the locker room and it shows her actually LOOKING at headshots of Kelli Q and her headshots all said "KELLI Q" in MARKER PEN ....... HELLO DEMENTIA KELLI maybe you should rewatch previous seasons BEFORE you start the auditions to remind yourself what you said ON TV (eg what was broadcasted) so you don't make yourself look silly ...

I don't think Kelli meant that literally, but that she was finally seeing a standout dancer that she hadn't seen in the auditions before.  Kelli Q was one of my faves, I wish she had stayed on the team longer!

💯!!!!! I really have no other value add to this other than to say YESYESYESYES! 

Was just watching Season 9 (? Maybe…may have been 11? They all run together). And the camera literally focuses in on KelFine looking at KelQs headshot where it’s written “Speaks Croatian.”  REALLY, KelFine? There are SO MANY CROATIAN SPEAKERS IN TEXAS THAT KELQ BLENDS IN WITH ALL THE OTHERS?

Gah. 

Thats because (and I've said this many times) Kelli has dementia, her old age is catching up to her.

 

I do have a ruder comment but I don't want to get into trouble for suggesting that maybe Kelli should look into going into a care home with her bad memory .....

Is the "dementia" thing a UK thing? We don't say that here in the US. First I have heard it used as an insult.

Nah. It just me. I do say dementia because Kelli do seem to forget SOME things she has said and/or done in the past and she does promote double standards (which happens everywhere but just most are not shown on national tv where it is magnified for everyone to scrutinize etc 

[DocBrown]

No. I’m from the UK and as someone whose parent suffers from dementia I find it a little hurtful to see dementia portrayed as an insult, given what my family are going through. I don’t think it’s a term to be thrown around lightly. 

However. 
 

I can certainly see that Kelli has been inconsistent on certain decisions. And saying it took her so long to notice Kelli Q? She was definitely in prominent shots! I’m sure she was at Kitty Carter’s finals session… I forget which season. Although I didn’t see that she spoke Croatian. That’s pretty cool! 
 

I’ve definitely seen Hannah A in previous seasons before she made it… and I’m sure I’ve clocked Lexie and Breelan. I haven’t yet seen Lauren Parker in season 11… I’m sure I saw an interview where she said she’d tried out the season before she went to training camp which would have been season 12. Of course, I could be mistaken!

Season 10?

Could be! I wasn’t 100% sure if it was her when I first saw her because I know she’s danced with the Mavs, but I’m not sure of the timeline: if she didn’t make it further with DCC did she then have time to try out for the Mavs. 
 

On second watch I’m sure it was her, but I can’t  remember which season! I’m sure you’re right and it was season 10. Finals do tend to blend for me unless there was a standout moment like Vivian’s tin man that wasn’t … or Danielle and her injured foot!

In a talking head the year Breelan made it, she did say she got cut the year before (I want to say in semis), so yep, I'm sure you saw her!

[ShutterbugCAM]

Yeah, Breelan's rookie year was Season 9, but first tried out in Season 8 when she was 18. They ask a question at Season 8 Finals Interviews (had something either to do with Hall of Fame or Dancing With The Stars) and another girl gets it's wrong, but then they show Breelan answering correctly with "Emmitt Smith".

Season 4 was on Pluto yesterday, and that was the first time I noticed Marie Lynne at auditions. She got a little focus at season 5 auditions, and of course made training camp in season 6 before getting cut. She also got a little focus when she tried back out in Season 7. I never knew she tried out that many times. There's always something new to notice.

I recall Marie had some kind of injury during TC and  was trying to hide it. Don't know what it was but I thought she said something about therapy for it. Kelli said she had a  "floppy foot". Marie was on the Miami Heat Dancers for 1 season.

[sleepyjean]

Jaycie Seta, who was chosen for training camp last year and deferred until this year, then chose not to return, is a finalist for the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders. Someone previously mentioned that she has a serious boyfriend now that she didn't have at the time of DCC auditions, so I guess that's the end of Texas for her.

 

She's in the front row, third from the left, white top, red shorts.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your parent. My Dad passed away in 2001 from Alzheimer's. It's a hard way to lose someone you love. It is jarring in our case to see it used out of medical context.

Perhaps we could call it selective amnesia instead of dementia. Kelli picks and chooses who she wishes to remember, ditto for rules, etc. Consistency and fairness make for a good leader. These are qualities that are lacking in Kelli.

[Teriyaki Terror]

Is it just me, or is the dancing in the triangle formation boring. I don't mind it and I love seeing who earns point for the season, it's just that they have an entire field and they choose to dance in the same formation most of the counts. The video shows them in different formations and also using the triangle. I wish they would go back to doing this.
