I think Maddie is really pretty - she has matured and longer hair looks great.  She has a spark that Amy doesn't.  

[allitator]

Nothing against Maddie personally, as she’s a talented dancer, but she just looks like a little kid to me. 

[Yetta]

Maddie's calendar pics were great, I thought!

You know like Maddie, I can't help but notice that Lexie consistently keeps moving up and up the DCC ranks every season. Good on her.  

Speaking of boring blondes....

Yawn.

lexie looks like one of those women that only looks good because of mass amounts of makeup, fake hair and peroxide.

The triangle for the first half of TS is Amy, Maddie, and Lexie -- and they switch point halfway through. 

So why were Heather and Gina iced out of the triangle.

This must be the absolute worst. 37 Ladies mleft, and they all know someone is going home and won't make the team even though they got all the way to the end of TC. At this point I bet there are probably a few you could pick a flaw and argue they arent quite good enough to make the team. I dont envy having to pick that final young lady to send home. Im sure there is one who has the lowest kicks, im sure there is one who is a little soft in the uniform, one probably that is not the greatest at public speaking, one that maybe doesnt have the best choreo memory, one that dances with a little less pop and crispness...so how do you send the final young lady home? Put the bottom 5 names in a hat and randomly pick one??? Yikes, gives me anxiety just thinking about it...

I actually think Lexie belongs in the traingle. She is one of the more powerful dancers on the squad right now. It's Amy and Maddie who I think don't belong there. Gina was robbed!!!!!! Robbed I say!!!!!!

I think this will be an interesting season if they show us the process this year - what they saw, why they picked these girls, their decision to go with two points, etc.

It would be strong if she’d actually do her job and put strongest second years up front. Screw tradition when you are hiding better talent. Not like any of those girls are going to be pissed and quit and If they dovyou have all stars dying to be back in the field.

Gah I know the nepotism and lack of fairness has been around since the beginning but this is really obvious bad now. 

[TinyHands]

It’s not a question of who we think is the nicest or sweetest or cutest or best ambassador. It’s the person who will be the face of the DCC. Maddie looks like a (slightly) pudgy little girl trying to look sexy. I want to pat her on the head and say “Bless your heart, that’s adorable”, and not “that’s a beautiful, sexy woman”. 

[Squeek]

I find it interesting how every year and especially this year we kept hearing "This is the most talented group we've ever had." and now it's "Wow they suck."  It's went down from 600+ to 150, in a couple years I'll be able to roll out there in my wheelchair and make TC because so few will audition.  This isn't what it used to be and it's sad.

[UnicornKicksBack]

Maddie may be great with children but with adult convos and interviews she comes off as inarticulate, immature, nervous and kinda dumb. At least amy can string together words. Maybe Kelli had a stroke and can’t think right. 

Honestly I think Maddie is the worst overall fit for DCC I have ever seen and here she is front and center now. My mind is blown.

I could totally be wrong, but I get the sense the candidates are way more stratified than they used to be. They used to get 600 girls like Loni or Kalli Fullerton who were super mediocre and could barely do the splits. Those girls aren’t showing up anymore, but they are having an increased number of high-caliber candidates in terms of their training from around the country. I’m thinking of Megan C., Maggie, Daphne, and then the best cheerleaders from other pro teams (Bridget, Hannah, Danielle).

SAME. Hard pass.

Then why are all the TCC so weak?

Edit: After reading that I saw it could look argumentative but that's not how it's meant.  I'm completely serious, if this is high caliber why do they all suck so bad?  I'd rather have a bunch mediocre who give it their all than the "high cal" who turn out to stink.  Maybe it's just me.

The turnout is sad and it doesn’t look like we have that many strong contenders, so let’s brace ourselves for DCC VK and DCC Malena....

Why is everyone hating on Malena, damn lol.

Id take Malena any day over a lot of other girls. She may not be the strongest dancer, but when she’s on, she’s on. Also she’s very intelligent and well spoken, not to mention she’s gorgeous.

I'll watch for Bridget's position and focus my attention in that direction.

[pinkandsparkly13]

Well they seem to really love Maddie for some reason so I don't think they care what we think. Or maybe they do a little bit, since she's sharing point with Amy. But it's crazy, I don't mind criticizing the girls' looks and what not but even I'm getting a little tired of the Maddie bashing. She's group leader, giant face on the wall, in the triangle last year, and point this year whether we like it or not. She may or may not have the looks or dance ability in some people's eyes but it's their decision. And omg I'm starting to feel like a VK defender here. Lol

That's the problem, it can't be a "when" - has to be a "here and now."

I know im just a person behind the PC but...

I consider Nicole Hamilton, Brooke Sorenson, Trevino sisters, Ashton Torres, Justine Philips, Meredith Oden, Whitney Isleb, Nicole B, Jessica Marie, Holly Arielle, Kelsey bond, Mia Greenhouse, Jackie Bob, Jennifer K, Emma Marie, Bridget, Daphne, Mehgan (2015 rookie), Amy Trader and Jalyn as the DCC standars.

Beautiful: Hannah, Miranda (i lovr her), Brennan, Amy, Heather, Melissa Wallace, Erica, Olivia Rene (love her), Jenn Alexis, Lacey, Dayton (adorable)

Not a fan of their faces: Caroline (yeah, she is overrated), Brittany Scarham, Kashara, Alexis (overrated, she looks lile a man honestly) Lexie, Rachels, Lauren Williams, Madeline Molloy, Viruka

For DCC standards, love all the ladies you listed but can I add: Tobie Percival (for me, she and Nicole Hamilton were the ‘it’ girls), Brittany Evans, Kelsie Reich, Evan Anderson, and Amy Reese? I like a lot more but tend to favor the girls from the first 5 seasons! Really feel those ladies had the entire package!  ❤️

It's funny how other forums think - FB thinks Victoria is "borderline too thin" and that we came up with Veruca cause of our "unattractive jealousy" due to trying out and not making it.

Edited August 13, 2019 by scorpio1031

[Agent Gully]

Diversity is more than race, it is a range of looks, heights, and shapes. Each girl on the team or trying out brings both pros and cons to the table. 

Each of us has a favorite that we find something in that we relate to, think is stunning, etc. And for each of those favorites, someone else finds them unattractive, untalented, etc.  Simply human nature.

No one on the team or trying out is going to cause small children and animals to flee in terror due to their physical appearance. The rest is just personal preference.

Like I posted earlier, I don’t follow trends.  We’re all different.  I go where my eye is naturally drawn.  That never has been to Amy or Maddie.  If others feel differently, that’s fine.  IMHO, if there had been a clear stand out, there would have been one point girl.  The fact that there isn’t, speaks volumes.  At least to me.

Maybe talented dancers watched the show last year, caught wind of the so-called "beautiful storm," and figured they'd rather take their talents elsewhere.

Awwww, that's okay. It's a free country and those other boards have every right to maintain their wrong opinion if that's what they want to believe.

I've noticed that any girl that does a lot of the talking heads, gets viewed as attention seeking, arrogant, or having an attitude. Keyra, VK, now Kat.

Man, just how much diversity have we lost these past couple of years LMAO.

(And I'm not one to even complain about that usually. Or pretend that there was much diversity to begin with ... )

[INKWTWH]

Maddie, Amy and LEXIE at the front? 

Good grief, the second years (and Gina and Heather) were robbed. I'd take any combo of Bridget, Amber, Hannah, Jalyn, Caroline, Ashlee, Gina and Heather over them. 

[chrishunt]

I think this is the first year in a while I would cut more than necessary and have a squad of 32-34

Must make it hard to justify VK. If they had a team of Ashtons and Abigails, I'd think it'd be a different story.

[chrishunt]

I’d bet after a year of a super weak team and having to deal with Veruka, we will see a lot of retirees next year.

[DCC-UK]

A front three of Amy, Maddie and Lexie is super disappointing. It's meant to be a rock-star dancer who is also photogenic. Lexie has the look but isn't the most show-stopping dancer to me. Madde and Amy are good but not great and don't have that DCC glam look.

Hopefully, all three retire and we get a Gina-Heather-Bridget triangle next year or something along those lines. All the second years will be third years and should all move up. Hannah and Jayln on the edges behind those three with Rachel W/Erin probably making up the diamond in the centre. Fingers crossed they all stay!

[Lindsay Loo Hoo]

Every time i hear the sound of a new reply im refreshing, what has my life come to!

Y’all, Gina will bolt if she’s shoved in the back again next year.

At this point VK will be in triangle next year, and Gina still shoved in back....She doesnt deserve that as she is the best dancer on this squad. She should take her dignity and leave.

Poor Gina! I know I’m in the minority as I find her face attractive - but she’s got everything else, always smiling, never makes a mistake, always supportive on social media and so talented. Really disappointed for her.
