If they cut a vet this late in the game, I would assume it’s because of an unrelated injury, ambassador risk, major weight gain, etc. We keep hearing this rookie class isn’t that strong, so getting outdanced wouldn’t be enough. And also damned rude this late in the game. 

As time moves on, I can’t find huge fault on the TPTB on any vet that’s been cut during camp. Bummed, sure, but I understood it.

If Julia did say "Fuck this," then I'd like to compliment her on summing up my feelings about this entire season so succinctly.

They don't cut vets twitter when they're released, they didn't even cut Holly P's.  They just lock them down until team is announced on MTT.

Not true. Hannah's was cut when she got cut in TC a few years back. 

I think when it comes to social media, we can safely say their procedures are consistently inconsistent 🙂

I’m going on record as saying not only do I like Maddie for point (or half point as the case may be), but I also like the concept of putting someone out front who isn’t so stereotypical DCC.  First of all, doing the same thing season after season, going with what feels like the same girls years after year as a team, has grown stale and boring to me.  I’m all for livening it up a bit!  Also, my 12 year old daughter looks up to Maddie as a much more realistic “girl next door” role model than the typical Barbie doll pin up girl (many of whom have plenty of enhancements to make themselves that way). So personally, I applaud TPTB for putting someone out there that doesn’t fit what is described here as “not pretty enough” for point. Maddie is cute and fun and can dance.  I’m excited to see her out front!

I may be the minority here, but I’m not looking for someone cutesy or gorgeous for point. I’m looking for someone who is striking and a powerhouse dancer. In that case Gina would be perfect. If I were looking for girl next door and a powerhouse dancer, Maddie still would not beat out Bridget for me, even though she has seniority. 

None of the DCC are realistic role models and shouldn’t be viewed as such. They are all very driven and very dedicated to their craft. Many young people can’t relate to that.

Someone posted about how could KaShara be point when she wasn’t the most senior. It appears that they want the whole package for point. Lacey could dance & was beautiful but was shy & very soft spoken without much to say.  Do you remember the scene where Judy was making fun of her by whispering?  The point is the spokesperson when they are having a group appearance.

i feel as if we should keep track of all rumors & at the end of the season, see how many came true!  Perhaps even look at the source of who posted it.

Going by this, none of the girls had the total package and instead they went with two...

What I don't understand is that Kashara wasn't the most senior person on the team, yet they gave her point, so why does K&J feel they need to do that now??? Plus, the point hasn't always been the person who has been on the team the longest in past seasons either. I wish we knew their reasoning for this decision. 

Maybe they actually wanted to change up the choreography? Shelly might know.

I think this is true.  This year's team is the weakest team we've seen in a long time (and they know this).  The "reality show" aspect of being on the team, including the blatant favoritism over those who are toxic, has scared off a lot of talented dancers.

I hope Veruca was worth it to TPTB... I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to get involved with the bs that the show has become, it’s sad that I’ve lost all respect for the org—- but I’ll still watch obvs... 🙂

It’s amazing to me that this year’s team is turning out weak when the deck was totally stacked in DCC’s favor. One of the highest vet return rates, so many of the Mavericks dancers trying out, several returning TCC, etc.  I know we’ve got some weaker higher year vets, but other than a select few, they’re all still bringing value to the table, and last year’s rookies were strong.  I don’t love VK, of course, but the squad has had worse dancers and I think she’s attractive enough. I personally find her cuter than several vets as long as she isn’t making the surprise face.

So how on earth is a week squad happening??? Against all odds...

I think Shelly B is just on vacation. She goes to Colorado a lot. Maybe they have family or close friends there.

Someone asked her if she permanently moved there and she replied yes.

Wow! I'm surprised. I don't know how I missed that. She will be greatly missed by the DCC. Best of luck to her and her family in their new location.

Well looks like Lily will make it now that they cut Julia.

Again I kinda feel they snub all the DMDs big time.

Julia was a doll with tons of pro experience . I forget what experience does Lily have? Just wondering Bc she just doesn’t impress me

It's not a pageant glam thing for me re: who gets point.  I simply find both Amy and Maddie vanilla dancers. 

Going by my own years of dance and keeping up on current dance trends, neither pop enough for me.  So many people think Maddie is this great hip hop dancer when she's decent but not great.  If you watch any current top L.A. hip hip dancers on IG, you can easily see what I'm referring to.

I think you need a killer powerhouse dancer with a killer body and pretty. I know Gina has a controversial face and she’s definitely not conventionally pretty, but she’s one of the best dancers on the team, her body is killer, and she gives off a sexy vibe. I know some people think she’s a butterface, but I think she’s a way better choice than Amy or Maddie. 

I was quite vocal about not wanting Gina for point, but daamn she was robbed. I believe the same for Heather-she is one of the most senior girls, photogenic, powerful even if not consistent enough and a great spokesperson. Then you get Gina who is stronger than both points and on the same level looks wise. How on earth do you end up with Amy and Maddie on point then? And for those who called Heather too vanilla for point, what would you call these two then?

That’s because the upper vets are extremely weak (all 4 of them) and would never get chosen ahead of girls like Melissa/Kashara/Jenna/Erica/Holly. They got lucky and stayed longer than the rest. Then you have the third years who are nice but none of them is the total package. Then you have the amazing 2nd years who probably won’t get their chance to shine and we will lose most of them any way in the next 2 years. And then you have the new rookie class.

Sooo is it really a coincidence that the last cuts are all blondes (plus redhead Shaina)? We don’t need competition for VK, right? That would show people that there are other blondes in tc who could dance without risking injuring themselves or teammates.

Yes.  And also in the subways of New York City.

Based on this, yet again an updated TCC grid.

If Julia was cut the other night, and they cut someone last night as someone suggested, we’re at 36, no?  Are we still waiting until August 13 to “announce” the team?  Will there be more cuts maybe, and the team will be less than 36?

I've finally watched the second episode and what Kelli said at the very end got me thinking...

Why not just rotate Point between all group leaders? Amy, Maddie, Heather, Tess, Miranda, Lexie, Alexis and Gina would get to be Point at one home game each. It might be a bit confusing, but if the DCC is still as world-class as TPTB claim, they could handle it.

TL;DR - having the four main and four secondary group leaders be the Point for one home game each allows more women to be featured, gives more variety, gives more reward to being named a group leader and takes a burden off of Kelli & Judy by never having to search for a replacement point when members of the squad eventually leave.

We would be at 37

Was Julia the one cut who we were all supposed to be surprised and upset (upset may be too strong a word) over?  Cause I felt nothing.  But I didn't know her either.  Didn't mean to sound harsh.
