My eyes kept going to Bridget.  She looked confident & strong.

They need to put Bridget at point and move on.... :)

I’m shocked that RachelW is in front of Gina but Gina is still up close being as she’s only behind the GLs and Rachel. Although i do think it would look a bit offf to have Gina be in Rachel’s spot given she’s kinda on the shorter side

I thought it was strange too and for me, clearly only due to her beauty queen background. I can see that she has improved as @LaurenBrook said, but for me it’s unfair she went ahead of more senior girls, as well as the 2nd years who were rockstars from the beginning (including Bridget). 

Also, since at some point we speculated that Lexie might be a contender, i guess it’s not going to happen considering that she was behind two 2nd years.

Although I feel for Gina, it doesn't bother me to see strong dancers up front of other 3rd years.  The new 2nd years are extremely strong and although Rachel W. is not a fav of mine, @LaurenBrook knows this 😉😘, I do 100% agree she is stronger this year.  Good for her.  It brings up the overall caliber of the squad when a girl improves on her previous year.

I think seniority has its place in certain areas, but just my humble opinion, the stronger dancers, no matter their year - especially if they can handle it, deserve being in the spotlight.

Agreed on your point about rehashing old media. However, no attack against you at all but I honestly never thought they had more class. After watching and following the show for years I have often wondered what they were saying to each other under their breaths and in private during this process and I'm not at all shocked at the things they are saying because I figured they were talking much trash about certain girls. 

You are probably right about never having much class. The more I watch, the less I see of this wonderful sisterhood they claim to have.

Is she in front of Bridget?? I thought she was behind her.  I feel like there were so many great spots with this stage! Like as much as I adore her, Sav is not the strongest on the squad and she still had a very visible spot.  

I'm personally not putting stock into this as giving any idea of what the final formation will be for Thunderstruck.

I just have to say this--Mr. Lambert's trousers certainly look good on him.  Yes, that's pretty tame for social media I think.

I think all the DCC looked wonderful.   I love Rachel W.  Good for her being up front some.

I think a lot of who danced where had a lot to do with camera shots, what showed on in the jumbo trans, and where Brian and Adam were going to walk.  It was all part of the scripted production.

I hadn’t seen it before now but Amy’s cock-up (sorry, I’m very English) was bad. She could definitely lose point over this because she was front and centre and it wasn’t very subtle. I personally don’t think she has enough pop or sparkle for Point personally. 

Wasn’t she the one who did the jump split at a pre-game rehearsal when they never do? Shows signs of a dancer with concentration issues.

if we are looking at the the girls in front as point contenders than I would say Heather is the clear stand out from that performance. Amy was off and made errors. Tess didn't stand out. Maddie as ok dancing but her posture drives me nuts when she is standing or walking. How did she get through years of dance training with shoulders rolled like that without an instructor correcting it? In a couple of pictures with other vets, she posture makes her look short and wide and she has a great figure. just my two cents.

What a cool experience for the DCC!!! I’m sure they had the best time. I thought they looked great but Amy’s mess up was pretty 😬. The audience was probably having a great time didn’t even notice though. Maddie is a favorite of mine and I definitely hope she is point. I thought she looked great.

HANNAH HANNAH HANNAH!! That camera loved her. I feel like we don’t talk about this enough, but back flexibility like hers does wonders to these moves we’ve seen a million times. It’s feline-esque and so sexy. She is amazing!

This camera loved her! Maybe they were looking for a girl who was actually curvy for the Fat Bottom Girl song 😂 I think she looked amazing!

There were quite a few of the DCC not in sync. It was a rock show and they danced in a fun and excited way!  I’m sure no one cared or noticed.  Some tweets even stated that they are not Cowboys fans, but loved this!  This show was not for precision but to show Dallas pride with Queen.  Agree that it was a cool experience for DCC & the audience...& even Queen.  

Love Maddie too for point.  Heather looked good too last night when she switched out with Amy.  Amy was fine. There is really not one stand out this year for me.  Bridget is not ready for point, in my opinion.

Trying not to read into Gina not being up front. Thinking maybe there was a reason she was where she was... ie camera angle, photo angle - and not just the big screen view.

I was wondering how much time they had to prepare for this.  I realize that they should always be ready to perform, but since it was a one time only performance, and like you said a rock show - I think they just had fun.  I don't think they cared where they were on that stage, especially the non-SG members who rarely get to do something like this.

Bridget has already had experience leading a squad at point.  I would love to see how she looks performing point with the DCC.

Just my humble opinion that I'm 150% positive the DCC PTB won't care about, lol. 😆

I have to say, Kelcy looks good as a brunette, she stands out more than when she was blond. 

Also, there is a small snippet where you see Caroline dancing on Instastories. A few girls posted it for those that wanted to see. I absolutely think they were strategic in where they placed everyone and I think it's interesting that Gina was behind Rachel. Our of the 4 senior girls I'd like to see Heather, but I would love to see some of the 2nd year girls up there too. 

As much as I hate to say it because I'm pulling for her I'm afraid Lily being in that group isn't good. She seems like such a sweet supportive girl and worked hard taking classes all year.

For me it was when she turned to Jinelle , shooting daggers with her eyes, and said “ I just know that you’ve never had a weight problem “ it was said with such venom, and dare I say it, hatred.

Exactly! It was very snarky and rather passive aggressive. In looking back at the episode when Kelli first told VK that she was pairing her with Jinelle to help her, you can almost see VK thinking "oh hell no, they are not putting me with this skinny bitch!" If VK had been smart she would have looked at the situation like "ok, Jinelle probably knows what she's doing heath-wise because she's always been fit so I should listen to her", but instead she choose to have the attitude of "She's never had issues with her weight so there's nothing I want to hear from her."

@Bellisima08, your comment and thinking about this has me wondering how or if they will address Shaina and the tragic plane crash. I'm not sure which is appropriate. Certainly, they should not exploit such tragedy for TV, but I also wonder if disregarding it altogether would feel (to Shaina) like they're minimizing the tragedy and not caring how it affected her in camp. Thoughts?

@M1977G I've been wondering about that as well. I've been trying to recall if there was ever another instance of one of the Rookies or even a Vet experiencing a personal loss while in training camp, but I can't think of one. Given how close Shaina was to those who died, I'm sure there were instances of her emotions getting to her. She probably could make the request to not have it be focused on, but if CMT wants to show it she may not be able to prevent it. I would hope that Kelli & Judy would try to lessen any scrutiny on her as they must know how hard it must be for her to be going through the loss of her friends. I wonder if she was able to go to the funerals.

I only watched the Queen video one time and unfortunately all i came away with was:  Hannah needs a larger pair of shorts and Jalyn (I think it was her) at the end appeared like she had some sort of tic *L* just kidding, her head movements were very noticeable since she was the only one moving her head about.  Otherwise I think they did fine.  Didn't even notice Amy's mistake that people were referring to.  So I guess I'd have to watch it again.

Yes Bridgets got spunk and will dance with a cute little fire. But she looks like a high school cheerleader!!! For god sakes this is  pro dance and the look needs to be a polished woman . Not spunky cute high school look!!!

Goodness she’s on the team but she’s NOT point material

One thing I'm going to be watching very closely this year is how guest choreographers react to VK and how CMT presents those reactions. I was rewatching the episode from last year where they had Denise Dicharry come in just after show group auditions and I found it very interesting that they didn't actually show her making her comments to Kelli about VK not drawing her attention while VK was dancing. It was very different to when Travis Wall was praising VK & they showed him leaning over to tell Kelli while she danced. It felt like they were trying to minimize our perception of Denise's critique.

I will say that the talk in Kelli's office with VK about what Denise thought of her performance that night was another really awkward moment to watch. I mean here is Denise trying to give an honest assessment of what is lacking in VK's dancing & Kelli was trying to brush it off by saying if was just one off night (when we all know VK had been having issues with her dancing all though training camp). I mean yeah, I'm sure not making show group was weighing on her mind that night & impacted her ability to focus, but it doesn't account for her poor performance on other days that other people noticed.

Also I was just really turned off by her reaction to what Denise said. I mean she turned on those tears so quick & then way she just laid her head on Kelli's desk was so unprofessional. I mean you've got this top dance instructor/choreographer assessing you at what is essentially a job interview & you put your head on the desk of your potential boss & cry about how you're shocked you didn't get a straight pass to show group? She was just so clueless & immature & I was glad that Denise mentioned her lack of maturity.

Wouldn't it be great if they could have a concert at ATT Stadium, give each DCC plenty of room, kill the poms, the boots and the power pom style, and just let them dance?  Do the tricks they do for SG auditions that they never get to do again.  Perform the leaps, pirouettes, fouettes, etc that they show off in solos.

Going back and watching the previous year's solos (well, the bits and pieces they show) now that I know who everyone is:

Amber is just amazing, as is Kristen - I wish they would consider live streaming solos.

Didn't realize that Hannah started them off, not a veteran.  Of course, it could be editing.

Nick Florez saying this is Brennan's year, crossing his fingers and saying "Crossies"

I don’t recall them ever calling someone in to go over with them how a guest choreographer viewed them while the guest is present. Usually the critique is given to K & J not the rookie candidate directly. This is another example of how VK was treated differently than other candidates.

That one choreographer in Season 10 called out Angela to her face, in front of everyone, about her performance after she didn't make SG.  But you're right, cause VK didn't get called out on her performance after she didn't get SG.
