On the subject of TCC Kristen, I got the feeling last year that Kelli really wanted her on the team since she can sign, which would definitely be a great thing for the organization and I’m sure they would take advantage of. If she makes the team I feel like we’ll eventually see her doing more high-profile things like signing the national anthem at games, right? I don’t think DCC would miss the opportunity to highlight the fact that they have a cheerleader who can sign and make them look like a more inclusive organization. (Obviously it WOULD be a great thing in general but I’m not under any delusion that TPTB wouldn’t be aware of the great PR 😂) Do you think Kristen would be paid extra for things like that? I hope that she would be! 

Maddie knows sign language.  She’s never done anything like that.

Ohh hmm, didn’t realize that. Interesting 🤷‍♀️

[TB12]

Regarding my post about Maddie seeming nervous/uncomfortable talking I hope it wasn't construed as my picking on Maddie, it was an more an observation of Kelli's presence probably messing with her ability to be natural for fear of being cut... I adore Maddie... :-)

There is a lag in the connection so it came off as awkward.... plus you could hardly hear the woman sometimes ....

They were probably going to cut her anyway after all the fraternization drama. Didn't help that she denied it when they had proof she did. I'm not a fan of the policy but lying to their faces did her no favors.

Kristen told them she was exhausted from working all day and then trying to find time to practice.  So as her reward for holding down a full time job she  was cut.  Well that was catty to say but I felt bad for her.

I felt bad for her also ...but think about how bad that would look on the field ... so tired you cant remember the routines or do them full out.  Hope she was able to find a happy medium this time around between work and the DCC

[Kayce]

I hope Kristen found her energy this season and is able to make the team.   My thoughts, though, are that she will get the "Kristen you gave it a good ride but...." cut. I hope I'm wrong because she seems like a really sweet person.

Love Melissa mocking the ones who do the "sexy" faces.  I guess she forgot someone named Holly P who IMO was the worst offender!

Melissa was funny.  Holly P's facials never bothered me.  I thought they were great.  Was really looking forward to seeing her give a class on facials to the squad that Kelli suggested and then poof, she was gone.  😕

I was surprised that a year four vet came off so awkward.  Interviewer delay and all. 

[kalibean]

RE the interview: for me, Maddie and Amy’s gifts lie with their ability to interact with others, particularly kiddos. I can see where they are tremendous assets in studio, with the camps, even on appearances. They both lack the power and projection for the field IMO. Amy moreso, but I admire the heck out of her for co-owning a business and her sunny attitude. 

They wouldn’t make my short list for media bits like this interview, calendar, etc. But for sure a place for them on the team, and I see why they’re group leaders as well.

No. Once they make the team, they are part of SG.

I never remember Amber as part of that bunch probably because she is one of the most forgettable team members to me.  I never think about her.

I'm glad they don't. It's not something I'm sure they want to relive on television over and over again. I'm sure if WE see it, TPTB certainly do..no need to need to see them criticize them publicly about it IMO

I just think it's not really drilled on television nowadays for sensitivity issues. 

Yeah I understand that but they do it practically every year. There's always someone being called out for weight and they show it on TV. They just didn't do it that year which I thought was strange.

I thought Amy did a nice job at the CMT awards answering questions on the red carpet.  She has a more outgoing personality than Maddie though, which helps a lot.

I like Amber, and I don't know why I always underestimate her dancing abilities.  She was called out for being a strong dancer during an alumni segment last season, won 2 Barbies and danced with Meaghan T.  I think it's cause she flies under the radar at practice and you don't see K&J call her out on dancing issues.  Kind of like all the other DCC thru the years that you see in the last episode and think where did they come from.

There have been girls thru the years they have never said anything to on screen.  Doesn't mean they weren't talked to, could have been edited out or in person, it wasn't that bad.  I remember one DCC getting called out on social media, and on her IG she mentioned she had been injured and wasn't able to work out like she wanted.  She had talked to K&J about it, was going to be a good veteran and work on it.  Never saw it on the show.

Holly was never “cut during her solo”. She lost her top for a second though

I think you misinterpreted the phrases in that sentence. I read it as:

"I'm sooo sexayyyy" face was on full display during her solo, followed by her top coming right off, the year she was cut. 

Yep, that was exactly what I meant.

I didn't say she was, I said that was the year she was cut.  ETA:  Oh yes I did say just that, my sentence was awkward as hell!

That's right, I forgot about that.  Whatever it took, though, I'm just glad she's gone, I never liked her.

Someone had a "story" (might have been the Making the Team Instagram, I don't remember) with Maddie and Daphne interacting with 2 little kids at Oxnard.  Daphne was so cute the way she engaged with them, it made me a fan.

That pic of Jennifer Amburn is the perfect example of why they shouldn’t take closeup individual photographs during the kickline. Hello crotch. 🤦‍♀️I can’t unsee it.

Ummmm HOW did I never see this & HOW was that allowed to continue, wow tptb choose their faves & turn a blind eye wow, Jenn people in glass houses... 

Well i’m sorry, but considering that last year we heard them saying that VK, a tcc who gained 11 pounds in a few weeks, deserved the ‘respect’ to lose the weight instead of just getting cut, I think JennK, their point, 1GL and one of the few girls who got a leadership position in their second year deserved even more respect. And we do know that she was on WW, just like Kashara was. I don’t think either ever looked half as bad as VK did as a rookie candidate though.

Which is why though they need to pick the right girl for the right role. Heather is great for interviews, so bring her along for those. Maddie is cute with kids, just as Amy is an amazing teacher.

Holly wasn’t worried so much about her facials because she knew everyone was focused a little farther south.

How about Sydney? 

I used to follow Selina on IG, but she’s gone private & it looks as if I’ve ‘been cut’  as a follower...I hope she’s doing okay...she’s a school teacher, right?

The last sighting that I saw of Selina was on Yuko's page a couple of months ago. They were in Japan.

Are the ones that are cut actually even considered alumni? @ShellyB? I would think it would be too emotionally hard on them to come back after a cut (just my humble opinion).

If they have a pinky ring they are alumni, even if they get cut the following year

Yes so over making fun of bad dancers. Waste of time. 

Also never undies in dance bc tights usu have thick crotch to make up for it. I actually think we see more of the thicker crotch making shadow looking like we see Ashton’s labia. But yeah she’s almost showing cash and prizes

I’m not sure if this should go here or in the current squad forum but Im in Dallas for a few days and my sister and I took at spontaneous tour of AT&T stadium and the DCC we’re having a camp as well as a football camp was going on. I found it kinda odd that Miranda was there but she wasn’t dancing or teaching a dance to any of the campers she was playing the role of MC/commentator for what the little football campers were doing. Also Gina and Maddie’s group was the only one standing  dancing and doing cheers while the football campers were playing, the other groups just sat and waved their poms.

Can. Not. Wait. For. The. New. Episode! Do I recall correctly that CMT puts the new episodes up around midnight the night they air? I can't remember if I did this last year (it's been a long 12 months!), but I used to watch the episode online before they locked it and then would download the episode the next day(s) it became available from Amazon or iTunes.

Last year, I watched the first episode on CMT.com - I'm West Coast, so I would say I got it after 7 pm.  I remember looking for the second ep and it was locked, but I found it on YouTube.  I think I did that for a few eps before the person uploading got shut down.

The DCC campers are divided into 3 groups by age. They are performing at a “game” played by the football campers. They don’t necessarily perform the dances they’ve learned during camp at the same time. Last year Jackie Bob played the role of the MC. Not sure why Miranda isn’t teaching or leading a group during the performance. I think she is running the camps this year since Katy Aldrich and Jinelle moved to Australia.
