2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers

[Mercurialsteph]

Yikes I saw Lisa’s Thunderstruck with Amy as point she is OFF. Like Amy is counts off and doing the wrong movements. Maddie overall looks much better....like just give it to her, at least she’s on the right counts. This is the second time this has happened with Amy. Make Gina Maddie and Lexie the triangle with Amy behind Maddie...where she can follow three other people

This is legit what I thought the triangle would look like this year. No way would I have ever in a million years guessed that Tess and Amy would be part of it. 🤷

And striking with the brunette next to the two blondes, also they’d have two glamour girls and one girl-next-door...something for everyone. I would have done that triangle with Tess behind Maddie.

Is it just me or is this season so far boring AF!? 💤😴💤😴

Not just you. I need some drama. Like Holly-Jenna-Erika level drama.

I think Gina has more than the ability to be point -- I think, forgive me, her looks are holding her back.

I think Gina is a stronger dancer, but Maddie is very well-liked in the group. Looks-wise, they’re pretty equal to me—though Gina is more glam. 

[go4luca]

I can’t recall ever trying this hard to get into a season.  Sorry Amy, Maddie fans.  Both are a huge yawn.  Off the top of my head, there are four 2nd years who could have carried it.  Without swapping out point girls.  Keeping the rest of the formation clean and sharp.

Frell the drama of upsetting upper vets not up to the task.  Put your big girl panties on and fix this mess.

Well, it probably doesn't help that most of us are binging on Pluto and re-living the good ole days:)

[WhoDat]

Caught up on episodes 2 and 3 this week. Caught up on the past 10-15 pages of the board. Will try my best to keep this brief... 

ROOKIES

Kat - I didn't care for Kat after the first episode. After watching 2 and 3 though... how in the world did she make the team? Seriously? That dumpster fire of a solo? Those kicks? 42 on the ranking chart? World class my ass. She's not some world class beauty. She WAS attractive... but what in the world did they do to her hair? Lacks talent and looks worse than when she showed up to audition...

Meredith - Made the team for the same reason I liked Kendall. They took Kelsey over Kendall a few years back and I thought it was all about looks. Meredith is/was the prettiest of the training camp canidates in my opinion. Pretty forgettable dancer.

Bret - I thought she had a nice solo from the clip from the show. Just seems kinda boring when she speaks for some reason...

Lisa - Seems kinda cute? Solo looked good from the 5 seconds we got to see of it. They must have had to cut a lot of the solo performances off the show SO THEY COULD HAVE MORE HIGH FIVES 🤮 (I will be going back another week or two in the forums because I missed Ginagate. And I am also very intrigued to hear about the Julia/Lisa drama)

She who must not be named - Already seen more of her than I wanted to see all season. I feel like we saw more of her solo than anyone elses. Her solo was good. Nothing spectacular? It was like watching a watered down Gina solo. I thought she almost fell and I think another poster confirmed her solo wasnt as flawless and tearjerking as Kelli wanted us to believe..  And she seems to find her way into almost EVERY scripted moment. Must be a coincidence... AND THE ONLY ROOKIE WITH A PERFECT SCORE! That was worth a good laugh...

Lily - I liked her solo. I also thought her makeup was done way better during her solo than we see usually. I also do like her new hair and look from the newest pictures. I think they took her on because she's friends with the girls already and I do think she was done a little dirty with her cut last year.

Madeline S. - Seems like  such a sweetheart. I thought she danced well (I know nothing about dance). Will definitely root for her if she came back next year.

Kate? Katy? - The UCLA girl that Charm vouched for. I like her. Kinda like Madeline S, just seemed more genuine and less scripted (*cough* Amanda *cough*) I wish they would have gave her a chance.

SOLOS

Amy - I know she's getting a lot of hate because of the whole point situation, but I personally like her. Maybe she's not the perfect person for point, but she has an infectious smile? I don't know, just personally always liked her. Kinda the same reason I like Bridget. But I digress... I actually liked her solo. I have nothing against her tap routines from years past but I was kinda glad she at least changed it up (*cough Maddie *cough*)

Maddie - ZZZZZ. I am so glad we didn't have to see the whole routine. I don't think I could stomach it. I actually kinda enjoyed last years solo, but this one fell so flat. And of couse the Melissa Rycroft fangirling was pure cringe, I think Charm agrees with me on that...

Gabby - How long is training camp? Maddie gets away with it over and over again but Gabby gets cut? Voldemort is to be respected, but Gabby gets cut? She wasn't even one of my favorites from last year but I did like her just fine and still think she got shafted. I think it's even worse now because people like Kat and Meredith made the team? Is Gabbys solo anywhere? Was her dancing still up to par? Bogus. She could have been game ready in a week or two. The final team is a disaster? That's what they get... #TeamTara

Hannah - Her dance from the prep class is awesome. Her solo is also good for different reasons? It's the type of dance that gives you a McCoy Moment (I'm sure the man has some real constructive criticism at times, hopefully just editing by CMT) at the end. Just leaves you saying that was kinda hot. And someone please get her a uniform that fits properly this year.

Rachel (younger one) - I really enjoyed what little we saw of her solo. I do think she's one of the more improved dancers from last year. 

Ashlee - People are saying it was the best solo... I dont even remember if they gave us a taste in the episode. I saw a handful of Barbies to people I don't remember seeing their solos...

RANDOM NOTES

I haven't figured out how to quote everyone I'm trying to reply to at once and don't want to flood the board with tons of replies..

Bridget - My current favorite on the team. Fun to watch. That titantron video is adorable. And she seems real endearing with the kids in their community work. Kinda the reasons I like Amy and loved Lauren. 

Point - Would not mind seeing Bridget at point one day. Blonde Rachel has the supermodel look to her, I think if she sticks around she'll be there at some point. But this year I really thought point should have been Gina or Heather. Maddie might be a good dancer, but I side with the people that say she just doesn't have the look for it. I do like her. I think she seems like a real good person. Just front and center? Amy might not be the best dancer or have supermodel looks, but she's cute and seems to have that southern charm about her.

Christina - I don't get all the hate. Not the strongest dancer on the team obviously but she seems like a nice enough girl. I thought the interview question was dumb. It was a softball that she whiffed on. She could have gave any standard beauty pageant answer and been fine. Not enough to have her cut from the team I don't think. Especially with the weakest rookie class since I've been watching the show. And I don't know the full details of her disability but I could understand if she learns her choreography a little differently from everyone else? Maybe I'm not in the know about something here, but I don't mind her. 

Amber - I thought she looked good at point. I know a lot of people are indifferent too her but I think she's pretty and fun to watch.

Ashlee - I thought she was the perfect example of someone that got stronger thru training camp. By the end of training camp last year she was on of my favorites despite being kinda indifferent to her to start

Erin - I remember thinking it was fair the year she got cut. She came back as one of my favorites last year. She improved a lot her year off. 

Kristin - I'm glad she made the team. I thought she danced really well this year. I don't know anything about her technical dancing, but she just seemed a lot more fun to watch this year. She is a bit heavier this year then last year but nothing that can't be taken care of...

Savannah - I know she can be prone to making mistakes sometimes, but she is absolutely adorable and I still enjoy watching her. Can't cut Saaavy

Brennan - Seems like a sweetheart. Never really catches my attention though dancewise.

Rankings Board - Another chance to shoehorn a scripted Voldemort moment into the show. Great. Looking like another season where half the rookies that make it will only have 5 minutes of actual screen time.

Swimsuit Calendar - Of course most of the ladies looked amazing because they naturally look amazing. Doesn't matter because it was ruined by tons of poor photoshopping. Some of the girls were unrecognizable in some of their pictures. Makes no sense to me.

That's it for now. Got plenty of reading to catch up on.

The videos of the kickline are awful. So many low kicks and flexed feet, I spotted Tess on one with really flexed feet. I know it’s their first full performance as a squad but there is a lot more work to be done, more than any season in recent years.

I would like to know why Meredith did not use ALL of last year to practice in the power pom style. Tonight she said she's never done it before and its all new to her. Kelli says "have you ever taken a hip hop class?" And Meredith says no. I would have cut her right then and there. She had ALL YEAR!

You know who else didn’t use all of last year for pom classes? VK. She only started showing up a little bit before the auditions and she was mainly doing lyrical classes.

Her cameo is great. She is hopefully just eating clean.... at her age and with all the exercise she’s getting, her body will see results quickly with a clean diet. 

Her cameo does look great, mainly because this is the first time i’ve seen her hair look great (plus photoshop as another poster said). If they can get her hair look like that in real life and teach her to keep her mouth shut, i can get behind her. Sorta.

If you look on Lisa’s Instagram stories, one of the last ones she reposted has them doing TS from the floor smack. Looks like Amy is half a beat behind AS POINT. #ginawasrobbed #ginaforpoint

I thought you were exaggerating but holy crap that was a mess. She was WAY off. I can’t believe they chose this mess over a heather/gina/HONESTLY-ANYONE-ELSE triangle.

4 hours ago, hannahbanana said:

Is that VK out of line (too far in) on the right?

Well most girls were completely out of line. I saw Lisa’s stories and the person in front of her was getting literally in front of her instead of being a bit to the left as she should be. I’m sorry but the sound system has nothing to do with them not making it to the correct placement. It’s difficult to dance to a song you can’t hear, but if you miss your spot then it’s all on you.

4 hours ago, scorpio1031 said:

Why are they doing this #gamedaychallenge thing on IG now?  Totally taking up time looking for Friends and Family pics and it will probably cut into game day pics tomorrow.

I would love it to be some lowkey shading of VK aka the only one on the team with no real experience.

I have to say that in the first part of ts i can’t spot Gina at all and then i lost Heather. Wtf? Anyway, I think that if 2nd years can get to the first 3 rows so fast and be ahead of all your 3rd years and vets, then maybe you haven’t been making great choices these past few years.

I just want to thank the person who showed us Pluto.TV because I just finished summer quarter today and have a month until autumn quarter. Needless to say I plan on doing nothing besides watch DCC

It’s a job not happy snuggly fun time. If you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen. This is a job, and seeing where they rank will hopefully light a fire under some of them, particularly the vets who should NEVER fall below 36. Unacceptable and a wake up call. 

agree. I mentioned vets falling below 36 on the episode board. 

Sad to say - look at what happens in corporate sometimes... those who are just coasting, or holding down the bottom, or has the lowest (but acceptable) evaluation/performance reviews... well when a RIF comes along.. guess where mgmt/HR eyes sometimes fall to.

[sATL]

what did they put on the locker nameplate before they  put the state on the right side?

and which state - some are born in one state, go to school in another state and now they are in texas.

Not sure if I like it... seems braggish as if they are looking for the majority of TX or overly pointing out someone from outside of the US... give me a moment to adjust, I guess. Is this a small way of showing diversity (ie women from all over the world come...) ?

Little trivia as it seems space is not an issue on the nameplate: 

• The three longest state names that are commonly used: Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina. 
• Iowa . Ohio & Utah have the shortest state name
• Q is the only letter that does NOT appear in a state name

[dreamcatcher]

Chandi is unbelievably beautiful.

I don’t agree that they can use this as motivation. First of all, it aired after the team was announced so what’s done is done. And that’s clearly not an objective ranking as no way Hannah Jalyn and Maddie are that low on the actual rankings. They should be ranking the girls throughout TC if they want to use this as a “tool”, maybe even throughout the season-no way Amy would have stayed at the top of the list after messing up big time as point. But then they would have to cut the lowest ranking tccs and last season Kelli refused to cut VK even when she had only her sticker and Kelli chose to cut girls with more stickers instead.

Btw I don’t like the negative criticism Amy is receiving because I agree she is generally a good dancer with an infectious smile. She can’t lead the team though and at best she should have been in the second line, just not point.

Wtf is going on in this picture? Is maddie supposed to be on the 50 as point? But also in front of amy who is point? Or is the whole damn thing off center? The back right has 4 girls and the back left only has 2

I believe this picture was taken at the part when they hop to there left and they all aren’t hopping the same distance so it looks off.

That may be all he says on the show, but Neal McCoy KNOWS entertainment. He's a remarkable entertainer in his own right. He's very fan oriented so gets out and about in the crowds and knows how to impress.

Neil McCoy is a lawsuit risk with those women. Seriously — the layers of why they don’t do USO tours they way they supposed to are deep.

He’s an old dirty man. No doubt he has fans, but there are lots of questionable people with questionable taste.

Katy’s story is ROUGH. Yikes. K&J are probably cringing.

The thunder formation needs to be completely redone!

Gina, Amber, and Bridget should make up the triangle - any of the three could be point IMO.

Behind them should be Caroline, Tess, and Heather.

Then after that - Maddie, Amy, Rachel W, Lexie.

ALSO - why on earth is Kristin in her own line all the way back in the middle of nowhere! It looks insane and she needs to be smushed into that back line with most of the other rookies

Did y’all notice that the triangle story (they looked terrible) on Katy’s Instagram stories has been deleted?

Ok, so that scene with VK taking the personality test had to be staged by TPTB...like wtf. It seemed so disengenuion.."I'm not that person anymore". Umm let others see that for themselves not try to shove it down our throats that you're a better version of yourself...prove it, don't just say it. I admit VK weight lost looks good on her so yea she improved herself in that way but where it counts is how she behaves and treats others..smdh

She was attending North Lake - don't know if she is still there or not

I would have thought that since Kat was the only rookie in that group not on SG, they would have moved her???

Does anyone have a pic or info on the final groups. I think I missed it, if yes can u please repost it.

[Jess14]

I just watched one of the clips, and Amy is absolutely behind on the choreo. Yikes! I like Amy, and I actually think she’s a strong dancer and seems like a great teacher, but everyone isn’t meant to be front and center. I think K&J have put her in a bad situation.

I’m a bit confused on the Lisa criticism. Based on what’s been shown so far, she is, by far, one of the stronger rookie dancers. Why should she have been cut?

Amber looked great when they showed the vets dancing. My eye went right to her and Heather.

Amy looks like a great teacher and she seems so sweet. She was the first one to run over to Meredith.

I agree about Heather in particular, so I was hoping someone else would point her out besides just me.  She's stunningly beautiful in a way few of the most recent rookie classes just aren't.

Actually, this has been a curious, not to mention disappointing, phenomenon for the last several seasons, imo.  When rewatching the early seasons, especially seasons 3-8 or so, those squads had SO MANY gorgeous girls to choose from, girls who didn't need to overdo the makeup in order to have the physical "Wow factor".

I just don't see as many classically beautiful girls as I used to on the team, and find myself wondering why. Sure, we'd get the occasional Kelcey or Molly or Keyra, but where have all the REAL stunners gone --- girls like Kelci Reich, Brittany Schram,  Jackie Bob, Kaitlin Ilsing, Brooke Sorensen, Tobie Percival, Brittany Evans, or Abigail Klein?  

 Are top-tier beauties like them even auditioning anymore?  Do they even still exist, or are they skipping the demanding, disciplined life of a dancer in favor of posting selfies on Instagram, hoping to get "discovered" by a modeling agency?

The DCC may still attract good dancers, but nowhere near as many straight-up beauties as they used to.  Only one or two per squad (if we're lucky) instead of dozens.

 Girls like Maddie or Bridget are cute, but the DCC are supposed to be gorgeous as well as talented.  It's their brand.  Seriously, if I chose "impressive dancing" as my only entertainment criteria, I'd go watch a Youtube video of the Jabbawokeez. 

That's why I'd rather see Heather as the tip of the triangle over Maddie, Amy, or Gina.  It's strictly aesthetic preference.

Yet we're being told that Verruca (a human caricature drawing if there ever was one) is "the whole package"?   Are the judges wearing blindfolds now or something? 

Next year, why not skip the blindfolds and just have all the girls audition while wearing bags over their heads?

What I have observed about Lisa so far, simply based off of instagram, is that she had a lot of support at the Meet the Team event. That would imply to me that she has a lot of friends and a strong support system. She must not be that bad of a person.

Gina suffers from the same issue as Lexie did.  Unfortunately, its a more expensive problem that can't be remedied with just a tube of lipstick.  It's absolutely fixable, just not with makeup.  I'll leave it at that.

Yeah, and she danced through college and for the Mavs. It not like she bounced around from team to team after a year, so regardless of her personal feelings for teammates, she seems to be able to coexist with them. Only thing I’ve read on here is that she doesn’t like Julia, and even if true, my response is....who cares?!? Is “liking Julia” some sort of prerequisite to being on the team? Unless she was spreading untrue rumors about her, whether or not they like each other should’ve have zero bearing on whether either made the team. 

[RockYou]

Kat might not be a strong dancer but she sure has a KNOCK OUT look.  

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She’s destined to be a fan fave as is Amanda and Kristen I think. 

I saw stories and Kristen’s intro she just looked and sounded PERFECT!!

[sATL]

how tall is VK?

I see the "NORTH" was shorted to "N" on Kat's locker . what they ran out of letters? Couldn't be space if she is still going by "Kat". 

Is there anyone from  MS or MA on the Team? Any pix of Brianna's locker nameplate?

[ByTor]

I don't like Kat's pose, the way her legs are it looks like "Hurry up and take this picture, I have to pee!"

[Tarode]

Did anyone see Dayton's IG story congratulating her "sister" Victoria on making the team? I wish I could upload it, but I tried and can't figure it out. 

It seems like they have both matured and grown up a lot in the last year. 

I never really bought into all the drama between them. I think they both seem like lovely young women.

This has always been my speculation as to why Julia was cut, well one of the reasons, hopefully we get to see it play out. For the record, I was rooting for Julia!
