The only thing I know is that she appears to be very flexible in yoga pics she's posted. 3 Link to comment

Girls need to get used to who they'll be near on the field. Wouldn’t that mean that Jalyn is somehow behind those rookies in the formation though? Of course I don’t think they’ve finalized formations yet, but it does seem strange. Link to comment

Monique June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 Cianna doesn’t look great but maybe the height difference between her and Miranda had something to do with it? Miranda is on the taller side and Cianna not so much 2 Link to comment

HowdeeDo June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 To be fair, the slow mo reveals even the tiniest flaws in the kick line. Not a smart move by the SM team. It wouldn’t look as bad in real time. I too think height may be a contributing factor, they’re used to kicking by similar heights. 10 Link to comment

CrazyInAlabama June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 Cianna is lucky she didn't blow out her knee, and probably have more damage. That was awful to watch. All four of them could have been injured on that jump split. 2 Link to comment

It really doesn't look like the girls got to practice - just threw them out there. I wonder if it makes a difference when you are standing next to different gals then you are used to (ie - height, arm position, etc). Link to comment

Jess14 June 26, 2019 Share June 26, 2019 Show group auditions are tonight, right? How soon do they usually announce show group to the team after auditions? On the point discussion, I'm Team Gina, but if they decide to go with one of the group leaders, I think Amy is the best dancer of the bunch. She's not glamorous like Lexi or Alexis, but I think she has the look as much as, if not more than Maddie, and she has more pop than Heather and Tess IMO. 5 Link to comment

Txmomof2 June 26, 2019 Share June 26, 2019 (edited) Thanks for posting where it shows up. I swear my phone never does what I tell it to. Also looks like Stephanie Dibaise is there. Not sure if she is a judge, but there looks to be a fairly large group watching. Do they always do that and it just isn't shown? Edited June 26, 2019 by Txmomof2 Link to comment

Laurendcc June 26, 2019 Share June 26, 2019 (edited) It’s a no brainer , Gina is on another league. She should definitely get point. Heather looks so vanilla at point , I’d choose Alexis over her. Edited June 26, 2019 by LaurenlovesTV 14 Link to comment

DAthene June 26, 2019 Share June 26, 2019 I remember an earlier season (Nicole Hamilton was still on the squad) when they were practicing their “sexy walking” across the room. Judy told them they needed to move their hips Like they were shutting that car door. The way she said it made it seem like she’s said it many times before. So I don’t think Schram was vapid for using that analogy...i think it was how they were told to move. ...but I also loved Britney Schram, so I’m biased 😉🙃 10 Link to comment

I’d rather just see the groups rehearsing together with the rookies throughout the season rather than scripted Melissa nonsense. It seems more natural assuming that’s how some practices are. I wonder if we will see much of Melissa this season since she got pretty sick while in the the Dominican Republic. It probably depends on how quickly she recovers. 2 Link to comment
