And do we know for a fact that it was Gabby who was late for the interview? We know someone was. I don’t think it has been confirmed.

No.  We do not and it has not been confirmed.  You know how this forum gets.

She isn't in that official TCC photo that was posted on the DCC social channels though. Pretty sure that makes it confirmed? (I'm sad that she didn't make it back, I liked having some asian representation on the team.) 

All that photo shows is that Gabby was cut.  Not where has it been confirmed she was late to her panel interview.

Gabby was cut but NOT because she was late for her interview.

Ah sorry, I misread what you were replying to. I missed reading altogether that someone said she might have been late to her interview. Sorry!

Moving away from the diversity talk, I'm glad that Brennan made it back. I have a soft spot for her. I'm also glad that Malena did not make it back. I have nothing against her at all, but I think she would have wasted her own time only to get cut again. Better for her to move on!

Agree with you on both topics. Have a soft spot for Brennan. She seems like a genuine and humble person. And my only issue with Malena was the crying was just way too much!

Politely requesting everyone who wants a PM from Bigskygirl contact her directly.

I’m excited for Alexandra Pena!  I hope she’s ready for TC, she’s tried out so many times...

No worries, I get it.  This forum moves fast on Finals day.  Just want to get the correct info sorted.  Gabby probably hurts enough as it is, I doubt she needs this type of conjecture added to her pain.

Not just confusing, just stupid. That’s like being mad that you get the premise of a movie before going to see it lol

Does anyone know what happens in the first meeting that we don’t see on the show?

Totally guessing, but I would say signing their contract, discussing CMT and what happens when they film vs when they don't, practices, schedules, upcoming appearances or events related to the show, schedules for makeovers, rules and expectations.

Any chance the missing blonde is Lexie Bazzano? Nah, I guess not.

I believe it's this girl {#23} from prelims.  She was in Tiffany Taliaferro's group, but she is not identified in any of Tiffany's pictures.

Her upper body looks weird to me. Like her arms don't match her body.  Pretty girl though.

She looks like Michelle Pfeiffer. I think she looks fine.

So far my Top 5 Candidates to make the team this year based on their look only... I haven't seen enough to judge their dancing thus far:

Kat Puryear, Ashley Hancock, Bret Lindley, Taylor Pederson, Julia Fife.

DMD Katelyn a WOC is an excellent dancer and a great person I don't know why they didn't take her.  DMD Jen is Asian and they didn't take her.  I say if Melena, Katelyn and Jen were blonde they would have taken them.  They like blonde girls with light eyes.

Katelyn has more pop, precision, and performance quality than the majority of dancers in the metroplex. You could put her next to any one of these girls (now that Lacey and Kash are gone) and your eye would go to her in a DCC-style piece. That said, I don’t know her training. They likely cut her over technique (kicks, pointed feet).

Raven is Mexicana, prettier than 3/4th of the squad (like omg that body girlll) and can hold her own next to any of them. Her kicks were a little disappointing at semis, but they take girls with low kicks into TC all the time. I’m tired of her not making it.

Formal dance training is a barrier most POC trying to make it in the professional world face, which is one reason we don’t see many WOC on DCC. The thought of taking your child to ballet class several nights a week, especially when it costs hundreds if not thousands / month to keep your daughter in dance really didn’t exist in minority cultures until recently in my experience. But that is slowly changing as cultures are blending in America. 

[loveaux]

I’m automatically a Kat Puryear stan, so I’m hoping to not be disappointed. #CLTRISEEEEE

but I’m kinda sad Tiffany Taliafero didn’t make it, i was rooting for her.

I mean should could. But the Mavs stopped the nonsense because it was a market failure. I wonder which way Charlotte would go if push came to shove

Nope. The Mavs cut their dance team bc Cynthia Marshall wants to tell women how to dance and dress... and ultimately, pro cheerleading just does not align with HER values. The Mavs will have a new leader someday and there will come a time when the Mavs team exists again. 75% of DFW wants the Mavs Dancers at the games according to a CBS poll so these girls are not... at all... a “market failure.” MFFLs LOVE them. Besides, the whole point of cheerleading is to inspire the fans to make noise for the team. It’s a beautiful purpose that goes a lot deeper than just entertainment/monetary value.

The fact that of 45 women, only 3 are black, is ridiculous. The fact that they are also trying to make us believe that there were no other WOC that at least deserved a chance to enter TC is ridiculous. At the end of the day, their standard of beauty is very narrow. Which is fine, since this is a organization that you own, but don’t act surprised when people call you out about it (hence the IG posts). Also, don’t be confused when the number of WOC who audition decrease because they constantly see those who look like them, turned down.

I had hoped that it was just the one bad picture, but after seeing this and scrolling through her IG, she's a pretty girl, but her face shape is just not photogenic head on. I feel bad because it's not really something she can help, but her face is so round it makes her look like she's got multiple chins, even though looking at the rest of her that's clearly not the case. Obviously given her background she's likely to be a great dancer, I'm just not sure she has the right look. A shorter haircut might help but for the most part Kelli seems not to like them so I think it's unlikely they do anything drastic enough to actually make a difference.

I think part of the reason Melena was kept as long as she was last year was to try to add more diversity to the team.

[Preity]

Yay for DMD Ashley and Kristen making training camp! I hope they make it. Kristen is going to have to work really hard though. I’m hoping Ashley will look great in the uniform, I always think she looks like a big girl.. not weight wise, she has an amazing figure, just big boned in general or something... but she has so much power, I love watching her.

Sad about Gabby, she seemed really sweet and being he only vet cut must be difficult. 

Obviously VK was going to make training camp again so there’s no point in being annoyed. Please just let her find some maturity and poise...and a hairbrush... 

I’m probably the only one, but I’m sad Malena didn’t make training camp. If she didn’t bring her a game to finals that’s fair though. 

Also really annoyed Lacey didn’t make it, she’s one I just don’t understand, I think she’d be great. 

For some reason I’m not sold on Meredith, I can’t say why, but something about her just doesn’t say DCC for me.

i hardly know any of the new training camp candidates, so I’m really hoping the show will focus on a lot of them, I already felt like I hardly knew anyone on last years squad and I don’t need more girls i keep forgetting

Speaking perhaps only for myself, I’m not actually annoyed - I’m living for the drama and secretly loving it! VK is the best train wreck going around. 

But I will point out the ridiculousness of it all.

At the end of the day, DCC is not a democracy and they can put whoever they want on the team. It’s hilarious how they try to make out how wonderful and impartial they all are. 

Its amazing that TPTB don’t see or care about the trail of destruction VK leaves in her wake in the locker room. Toxic, clueless and entitled - what an amazing combination.

[Lona]

Wow, guys. Just got through all these posts. Started at like page 30 or something lol. Y'all sure know how to write fast and keep people updated. Thanks.

And what can I say? I joked a while ago about maybe rioting if Gabby didn't make it back, but now I don't feel anger, just sadness. 😥 It seemed that she had gotten her weight under control, so I'm hoping that's not the excuse ("reason" I know. Don't mean to sound bitter). I felt like she was a taste of something different and I was impressed with her this season. It just felt like she had a whole lot of spunk, and she seemed so kind.
She truly was one of my top rookies and she will be missed.

As far as positives for me, I'm happy to see Kristin Dodd made it. Have a soft spot for her and her personality. Congrats to Meredith for making it one step further this year, and really hoping Lily can go all the way this time.
