She was there for the first meeting this year.  I can't think if she has done anything else.

Everyone looks gorgeous!

Sydney’s dress? Not my fav.

agreed on both points, although I have to say that while Sydney's dress is something else, I kind of wonder if that might not be why she's wearing it....insiders here have described her personality in the past as being particularly "extra," which that dress certainly is.  

Mia's legs are perfect.

Sarah looks gorgeous.  I've always liked her....she seems like the kind of girl who if you ask her what she thinks of your outfit, she will tell you exactly what she thinks.  In pointed detail.  I know that's not everyone's cup of tea but I've got a lot of girlfriends like that, and I really appreciate them (there's a reason I no longer wear tube tops....thanks Erin!! 😂).

Not my style.  Too bleached, too something.  Don't get a nice vibe from her.  But that's just me.

I agree. Too much makeup etc. She looks almost fake. Not really the girl next door.

[Bort]

Let's please keep the topic about the training camp ladies.

Same for me from Lexie to be honest.

While, I actually hate to comment on someones looks, because everyone is beautiful in someones eyes, but I'm not a Lexie fan either. Her nose is too big. Alexis is pretty, but she just blends. There is nothing wow about her. Now Bridget, she is adorable. Total girl next door, and she has what my grandma use to call "smiling eyes."

Namaste- to answer your question about if girls get critiques from semi or finals....No.  Kelli said a number of years that they are not given on paper nor can they call back the following week to ask.  It is like a job interview there can be people with more qualifications, a better team fit, just something you don’t have

Thank you! 😀

Taylor.  And then Ally said, "If a veteran corrects you, you say, Yes Ma'am."

That’s one of the creepiest things these girls have said. I sure hope they don’t expect rookies to “yes ma’am” the vets too.

I think she would look nicer with a more toned down blonde and less tan-that’s at least why she looks a bit plastic to me. But honestly it’s not about her look per se, her smirk just makes me feel like she’s a mean girl. It might just be her face though, so i’m trying not to focus on that.

As for Alexis, I might be one of the very few who don’t think she’s that pretty. She has no neck in most pictures and she’s a blender at best as a dancer. I don’t think i can add anything on Bridget 🙂

I am not a Lexie fan either.  Her look is too manufactured for me (fake boobs, dark tan, long blonde extensions).

I said before that I didn't think Alexis was as stunning as a lot of people think she is until I saw more pics of her this past year. I was like wow she really is pretty lol. But I think she looks prettier in her regular pics with friends and others as opposed to professional pictures. I do think she and Lexie are good looking, I've just seen too much of them! Ha 

[pinkandsparkly13]

I gotta say I kind of liked Amanda Dilks music video that was posted a few days ago. Well I liked the song. Could have done without the concept and talking throughout, but cheesy pop songs are my thing. Lol and I like that there will be an Amanda on the squad finally, if she makes it. That's my name. Ha  oh and I thought she looked pretty in the preview they showed on CMT the other night. Chandi as well.

Storylines for the upcoming season:

1.  How Victoria matured, grew as a person and fulfilled her mother's dre-, her dream to be a DCC

2.  The search for a point (which will be mentioned at the beginning of every ep - our first game is just around the corner and we don't have any idea who point will be)

3.  Queen and how it will influence the DCC🤮.  Kelli - if you have to turn to a rock band to help you with the DCC, perhaps it's time to retire

Certainly not DCC attire I would think.  But they cannot tell her what to do anymore.

You summed up my thoughts as well regarding all three!

Well, the lies are already starting.  The episode guide for the first episode states that "400 dancers from all over the country converge.... to audition."   LOL!!!!  What did we figure - around 150 -175?

Oh yeah they are totally inflating those numbers. I saw the promo on TV for the first time today and it mentioned "thousands of candidates." And Miss. Veruca Kalina made an appearance on the promo doing what she does best; fidgeting with her hair, crying and saying "I'm just so nervous."

I mean... that was the only time she acted mature. That is most certainly not a genuine reaction from someone who was previously seen thoroughly cleaning Kelli’s desk with her hair due to not getting SG.

LOL!! Otherwise known by my friends and I as the episode where VK shows Kelli her impersonation of a Swiffer Duster!

Friend of mine who was there said like 142, was the best count she could get with everything going on.  Know it wasn't more, could have been slightly less.

Not to sound mean but I think they need some fresh blood.  Team looks the same year after year, dances look the same and it's become.... tired.  I love the thrill of finding out tidbits from training camp but after we know the team I start to lose interest.

Bradie James for point!!

Beginning half to what Kristi posted earlier.  Love her or hate her, Gina is fun to watch in this clip.

I would take a Queen sing, any Queen song, over Thunderstruck.

Gee, I wonder what they'll do next year when Veruka keeps falling out of turns during show group performances.  I noticed how Gina competed the move and hit the beat hard.  It's hard to do that when you are spinning toward the floor and taking the girl next to you out.

Sam is actually a part of the MTT show’s production crew. She seems to be helping in setting up the scenes, making sure the right people, props, etc are ready to go & in the right place.

I thought Gina was great plus I really like the energy of everyone.  It’s going to be so much fun to watch them all this season. And luckily for me I can only tell the difference between outstanding choreo and the worst choreo ever.  Everything in between those two looks ok to me.

[M1977G]

Bradie James is the cutest in that segment! Was he one of the Cowboys who "coached" the TCCs and vets in a flag football game during season 3 or so? I loved it when Shelley tells him he needs sass because it's a touchdown dance and then he's like, yeah! and actually pumps his arms almost correctly. Those sexy hips need work, though, bless his heart. Nice to see Cianna and Rachel A as the non-leaders chosen for the segment.

I also loved Phil in the locker room tour. He's just awesome. I love his Southern drawl and it's been great learning on the boards how much he does in his job. Somehow, I'm most impressed that he's an art curator for the stadium. I'm second most impressed that he got down on his knees dancing last season during the finals audition dance party. I just find him charming and he seems like really good people.

So excited for Friday's premiere! I know so little about most of the TCCs that I'm extra eager to start seeing them in the first episodes. Here's hoping they "introduce" us to all the TCCs and don't just hyper focus on the strugglers and VK.

[KaterynParr]

I love Gina. I really don't get a fake vibe from her. Maybe a bit of arrogance, but man does she have the talent to back it up.

If that.

[kalibean]

I’m all in for unpopular opinions today 😂 I love the blonde bombshell look of TCC Ashley, Lexie, Tasha, etc...it’s a good mix with the “girl next door” like Bridget. I even like Sydney’s dress, tho it was too cocktail for the occasion.  And I still love Thunderstruck 🤷‍♀️

[M1977G]

Turns out I am a fan of most of these current vets! 

Love: Bridget, Heather, Caroline, Ashlee, Cianna, Hannah, Molly, Alanna, Tess, Rachel A., Brianna, Jalyn, Gina (the last is a huge change from her 1st year for me)

Like: Lexie, Savannah, Erin, Amber, Alexis, Daphne, Amy, Rachel W., Taylor J.

Neutral: Madeline M. (but I think she's growing on me)

Not a Fan: Christina, Miranda, Maddie

Recent retirees missing the most: Lacey, Maggie, Khalyn, KaShara, Robin, Jessica Marie, Bess, Amy T., Stephanie

TCCs I'm hoping make the team: Chandi, Kat, Amanda, Taylor

It's funny though - season 12, Kitty wasn't impressed with Gina's "arrogance."  But last season, she made a comment to Rachel W about saving the best for last.  Rachel replied that she didn't think she was last, and certainly not the best.  And Kitty made a comment about that.  They can't win, whether it's confidence or modesty.

He has better hip action than some past TCCs.  And that smile!!

[PunchPowerPop]

Honestly, I get the most arrogant vibe from Madeline M...I think she puts on the little girl tears for show but I get serious mean girl vibes from her. The episode last season where we learned about the locker moving and being the "boss" of the TCCs sort of confirmed that to me. Gina...eh, she is really good and she is aware of it. I'm good with that. 

[CrazyMoon]

Watching S13E11....Kristen needs to get rid of the 'lowered chin looking up thru her lashes look'...it looks contrived (though now probably a life long habit to look sweetly innocent)...if she still has it, I hope she gets cut.

I still want to know why she moved her locker.  It could have been for the day - maybe something spilled, light bulbs didn't work, whatever.  Kelli was all, I don't need to know and I'm like, shhhhh!  Be quiet - let her talk:)

Me too! I liked Amanda from day one and I liked the song, even if the autotune was a bit overwhelming. 

Amanda (with Kat and Kelcey) is just what the squad needs, with all of those dancers without glam or looks.

There are enough Brennan’s on the team already, and with the daparture of hard hitting Lacey and KaSexy there is really a big deficiency on glamorous and great looking dancers on the squad. 

It is so easy! One look and you know whether they’ve got it or not. One look.

The routines are great and all but if only a limited amount of dancers are good enough go do them, the routines should be changed to accomodate the dancers that are needed.

DCC should be about dancers like Ashton Torres, Brittany Evans, Mia Greenhouse, Maggie Rouse, Amy Trader, Abigail Klein and yes, Kalyssa Singleton.

I can't tell on my small computer screen--is anybody missing from this pic? (Obviously not VK, as she's smack in the center) I think I see 12 TCCs here. So, no new cuts and still 3 cuts remaining, correct? I see 11 pink tops and I think that's Kristin in the back (no top visible) to make 12.

I’m having a hard time seeing everyone, but I count 10TCC here. Who is on the far left? I thought it was VK and got excited that she didn’t cram herself into the center.... but then I got to the center 😕 and who is she posing with there? Also, who is on the right, above Ciana (or damnit whateve their name is! I love her but can’t remember her name for anything) she’s pretty! 

ETA: I’m glad Kat is still there! Lots of cryptic posts before. I still see Lily and Kristen. Was kinda hoping Kristen was cut. She bores me and her Jesus dancer thing is so contrived and it bugs the hell out of me for some reason.
