Ah yes, the Slender man arm picture. I hope they have a better squad picture this year.

Once I saw it I was never able to to unsee it...so I pointed it out to as many people as possible so you all could join me in never unseeing it ;).  Here’s to hoping to better attention to details this year.

You and me both!

Ok, I’m just going to say it...I love the Kelli and Judy promos MTT is doing and I want more.  Yes I’m probably going to hell.  Yes I’ll save you a seat ;).

I'd love to see Caroline or Bridget at point.  Shake things up putting a 2nd year vet up front.  Especially if they have the sparkle and dance chops to carry it.

Caroline? (Could be anyone you see in a mall.)

Bridget? ( maturity sophistication of a high school junior) great sweet wonderful job she has though 

Prettiest and or BEST dancer or most marketable should be point.

Point is so interesting this year...Amy is too tall, Maddie is not a typical beauty they have upfront, and Heather is so Vanilla....could they go with an underdog this year? Caroline has my vote!

Heather...vanilla?? What? She’s stunning. 

Although I’m personally “Amy for Point”, Heather is so gorgeous, she’d be great. I just think Amy would be a fun to watch, bubbly point.

If you MUST do these types of videos, at least blur out the poor women's faces. I'm sure at least some of these women it was just a bucket list/I'm going to audition for the DCC just because I can thing; knowing full well they had no chance or dream of making the team. No need to humiliate them for it.

well I suppose that's one way to make sure that less than hundred girls turn out for the first round of auditions next year.....

The fact that point is still undecided leads me away from thinking Maddie will get it. They have watched her dancing next to point for 2 years now, seems like they would know or not already if it was going to be her.

Have they usually announced/decided by this time (when deciding on a new point)? The year of the Jenna snafu, Jenna danced point at Oxnard and it was assumed she would be point, but nothing "official" had been decided or announced.

I think it's more likely what someone else has said, K & J know who will be point (barring any snafus), but haven't made anything official -- so the official DCC line is that it hasn't been decided yet.

Like when is anything relevant to training camp and making the team gonna show up this summer ?

I think the census here is that Bridget and Caroline are 2 of the prettiest and best dancers. Who do you think fits this role then? I’m not really sure we have a true contender among the senior vets (while I’m a #heatherforpoint advocate).

That's a quote from Kelli in that season about how Loni got into TC.  She caught the interest of someone in the Cowboys organization but pretty might not be enough to get her on the team.  She never said who it was.  Maybe someone here knows ore but there wasn't a huge fan base yet back then.

Oh, ok.   Darn, I thought maybe she had caught the attention of Jerry at a gentlemen's club while he was shoving dollar bills into her thigh highs or something!

I think Tess is the only contender for the position behind point. She’s the tallest senior vet, GL and SG. If she makes point then they have to put Taylor behind her.

I think Heather would be an awesome pick for point.  Like I said a few days ago, I don't really care who they pick for point as long as it's not squinty eyed Gina.  I do not like her looks or facials.  (I still think she's way too much of a "look at me" kind of dancer though she does seem to have toned down her extra-ness in the last few months).

K & J are unprofessional and mean spirited to do another video. They complained that VK got all this negative attention on social media last year and she needed a break this year. Well, K & J are doing the same things to these girls by rehashing which was already shown on TV previous years. I’m sure it was hard to see it the first time, yet a second or third time. Shame on you Kelli and Judy! I thought you had more class than this, but I am sadly mistaken.

Caroline to me is like Danielle. When I first saw them I was like, yeah they're pretty but whatever. And then they keep growing on you and growing on you and end up being stunning! Well for me anyway 😂😉

I guess i should specify, I meant vanilla as in her dancing doesnt wow me...she doesnt stand out in that sense. 

[M1977G]

I think Heather can kill it when she wants to but that their concern might be consistency. She started out in TC as very vanilla but by year 2, she was getting comments and appearing in footage that showed clean power and dynamic facials. I love it when she dances like that and want to see her bring it like that as a GL and would be very happy to see her at point. Really, I'd be happy to see anyone at point except for Maddie. That sounds so mean, but I just do not see her as point girl caliber in her performance or appearance. She is a great dancer, but as others have pointed out, including during her solo at auditions this year, she does not always finish moves and can be lackluster at times. I will be utterly gobsmacked if K & J pick Maddie to be the most filmed and photographed cheerleader for the season. She's a great ambassador and seems to be a much-loved team mate, but to me, that does not a point girl make. And yes, Caroline looked amazing at point in the video! Her eyes pop like mad, she has such amazingly clean lines and well-trained feet, and has that perfect DCC blend of girl-next-door-meets-glamour-queen. If they don't go wild and make a 2nd year vet point this year, I definitely could see (and would love to see) Caroline and Bridget in the triangle down the road.

I guess I don't really think about Amy because I don't think she'll get point, but while I do want Gina there I wouldn't be disappointed at all if it were Amy.

I'm not saying these women deserve the treatment but at this point they know they're too fat by DCC standards or simply can't dance so there is a good chance they will be made fun of for the world to see.  I would wager they do it for the attention they're going to get.  Sad, though.

Hate to say it, but yes. Excellent technical dancer and performer. Future triangle, absolutely. Good person. Approachable. Def. girl next door pretty, maybe the prettiest girl in her high school. But stunning, gorgeous, model looks etc, nah she’s about as Basic as they come. Not to insult her bc she is pretty, but just in a very average way.

Nothing new. Just does not care one but to tell girls they need to stop eating whatever they’re eating and lose weight in areas, will def tell are you stupid or dead, yells a lot, will roll her eyes and act exasperated, she’s not vulgar like Kitty but Judy def will yell and scream. 

[UnicornKicksBack]

I would not be mad with Amy at point.

Gina would annoy me bc I don’t think she has the face but def has the dance.

heather ok. Maddie definitely NEVER.

Honestly I really wish they’d just skip over these half assed upper vets and make a Bridget, Caroline, Jalyn (never going to happen), Rachel W (yes, I said RACHEL W) diamond. Daphne looks too skinny now and we have zero rockstars of color at the moment. 

This team needs to 1) clean house, 2) not hire the fresh fire over seniority 3) locate some black girl magic, even some tan girl spice. 

I mean not skip. Don’t know where not hire came from but won’t let me editz

I don't know how to post vids yet but there was a Lose Weight video from 2002 that showed a glimpse of Judy chastising girls for their weight.  Seventeen years later and they still pressure them to be size 1.  Personally, I think girls with figures like Kashara and Khalyn look best in the DCC uniform.  Why can't KJC see this?

I remember thinking of how cruel Judy was I;some older footage (girls were wearing unitards) and she was so clipped, abrupt, and mean.   Kelli had one season (7) where she was almost overly solicitous, as if she was afraid of coming across mean.  But that went away.  🙃

Because she is so photogenic.  Amazing eyes.  I find Caroline stunning in many of her shots.  Maddie is more of what I call "cute".

I don't get why some feel you need pageant glam to be point.  To me "America's Sweethearts" also covers pretty and that includes girl next door pretty which I find much more approachable than Miss America glam.  I'd rather see a point girl with sparkle and strong dancing.  Whoever is at point needs to lead the rest of the squad and if they are vanilla dancers (ie: Heather), for me, it doesn't work.

[ATLGirl]

Since it's Friday night and the first game is "just around the corner" (yes, this is a DCC Bingo Card square along with "I'd be devastated" and "I have no words."), I'm thinking tonight is a cut night. Any rumblings?

[Christineelgene]

I just noticed on Meredith’s IG that she is in Florida today.  I wonder if they have the day off, or if she was cut?

Meredith struggled a lot during the SG auditions for Thunderstruck. Her being cut wouldn't be surprising.

I agree on Caroline... Her short clip at point sold it to me at least. But I disagree (somewhat) on Heather. I think the other comment upthread saying that she can kill it when she wants is absolutely true. Kelli named her as one of the best rookies at the beginning of her second season in terms of power and showmanship so i think she’s got it.  

I would be fine with Amy (only due to seniority and leadership material), or any 2nd year. I would like Rachel A. to make triangle or even point. Just no Maddie or Gina for me.

[Jazzmom]

Erin also has the looks for point!  She is one of my favs now, since Holly. 

I would love to see more of Erin dancing and see if she now has the wow factor too. I think she is mature, looks the part, and could be a major star.

Almost everyone overlooked the obvious last year..and it was definitely more than one obvious. Also, using the phrase “all encompassing” and not giving direct feedback irked me too.  Guests chors  were asked directly about her.  No “dots” on her pic, not noticed (but why..always asked) and I would love to hear what exactly Kashara was referring to about things coming out of VK’s mouth.  

After years of watching how the selection is done and in one season all of that is thrown out of the window for one person...well..that is what definitely irked me the most.  

Anyway....sigh

[TB12]

WFH watching last season epi where Miranda burst into tears when called over to K&J and flashback to Kitty calling her Grandma Moses, ummm its kind of crazy given Kitty's yellow and orange hair. Kitty's anger toward some girls seems so out of left field almost like they remind her of someone who wronged her. I lost all respect for Kitty last year especially when she expected VK to get the respect to lose the 11 lbs she gained rather than cut her. Don't even get me started on her talking about Tara... Kitty, if you're seeing this, Karma is a bitch & one day you'll find her sitting on your shoulder making you pay for all the hearts you've broken with your unnecessary mean girl attitude ps: i think you're just jealous of the fresh, young beautiful ladies who don't yes ma'am you to your liking... just sayin

Couldn't agree with you more!  They cut others Veterans and TCC's alike for less weight gain.
