This team can no longer claim to be "world-class."  The decline in quality is shocking, and something really needs to be done but they're now more concerned with producing a reality series for a network few people watch instead of putting together a top-notch dance team.

Everything (and everyone) has a shelf life.  Perhaps TPTB have reached theirs.

Cassie is calling her VK as well. So I guess hi cassie, thank you for reading our little forum! Also good to know that VK is now A rookie dallas cowboys cheerleaderS. 

Does anyone have a clip of yesterday’s performance with amy at point? I really do hope she didn’t mess up or it’s possible Judy had already killed her and hidden the body.

I must be watching a different show, because I don't see the bitchy in Lisa or the weakness that some are saying. Right now she is the best in TC with Kelcey. Sorry that harsh face Julia is gone, but its a little ridic...(IMO)

The same with Lexie being a mean girl... she was giving high-fives and actually cheering on the rookies unlike some of the vets. She does not seem mean/rude at all. Just do to the fact that she is friends with Madeline...they even said Madeline has become a better person. 

Also, yes Kat is terrible right now in the dance. However, I do not see her as being arrogant. She is just a very light and positive person...She is a person that seems to take everything and doesn't cry about it. She wants to learn, I have a friend similar to her who can make anything into a positive experience. I love that about Kat.

The only girl that I caught a haughty vibe off this last ep was Rachel A. I saw they way she half clapped and her face..after the rookies finished. I was surprised..did not think she had that type of energy..

Girl, don't worry I'm watching the same exact show that you are. Lisa is a beast, if they had cut Lisa I would have a huge problem because it's a dance audition and she can outdance several of those veterans if you ask me. I'm also a Kat fan she just has a positive personality. She also seems very kind and the type of person I would love to hang out with. At first she almost lost me too with all of that in your face but I didn't give up hope on her and I'm so glad she made the team.

Between Meet the Team and the first home game, this board jumped like 12 pages in a couple days so sorry in advance that this now seems off topic ... but how exactly is this leaderboard determined, and what practical value is it (other than to tout the Golden Child VK)?  It looks like it’s just ladies who got all “yeses” and then ordered by seniority, because I just really doubt that Amy is their number 1 girl (looks or dance wise).  But okay, you want to call her your number 1, and you put her as group leader and co-point (if that’s still for case after multiple screws ups this pre-season).  But then how do you justify putting Maddie as group leader and other co-point if she’s not even in your top SEVENTEEN?!  And notably, several girls who were not in the judge’s top 36 at finals make the final roster.  Seems like the judges’ opinions really mean absolutely nothing, OR Kelli and Judy completely lose control of their own selection process through the drawn out camp.   

The board as shown is done by the number of yes/no/maybe votes, and it looked like seniority determined rankings between it. The top 17 all received 17 Yes votes. 

With Maddie, it looks like she got 15 Yes and 2 Maybe votes, so it’s not like she fell super far. She was probably a maybe from jay for fitness and a maybe from Neal because of her face. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jenn K or Kashara got a maybe vote in their years, and they were fine as point. 

I don’t love Maddie at point AT ALL, but two maybe votes aren’t shameful IMO. Girl had always struggled to stay as lean as some of the others.

From what I’ve seen so far, I prefer Maddie at point over Amy. Honestly, I am surprised that they didn’t choose a stronger dancer to lead the dance.. but with the mistakes that Amy has been making, I see no need in splitting. Just give it to Maddie and call it a day. 

Also, I need Dayton, Courtney (blonde from a few years ago), and Katy to audition next year. I know two are a long shot, but 🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm not a fan of her hair at all. She's so pretty and it washes her out. I'm also so over "the Kat is out of the bag" jokes. 

If you guys recall she had on a wig the entire time, IMO the wig she had on during tryouts looks way better than the hair that they have put on her now. I can just tell the difference because I'm into hair. That dark color that she has on her IG was probably extensions/wig too but it was a very good one. I don't know who they have in the Dallas area that did her hair but she needs to find a better person that knows how to handle wigs/extensions for African American women. Just saying

This is exactly my concern/point and you phrased it.

I must say that we are on the right track with the new rookies and the last year. The question is: which of the current girls can go up toe-to-toe against season 6 or 7 girls? I think these girls can:

  1. Amanda Dilks
  2. Kelcey Wetterberg
  3. Kat Puryear
  4. Lexie Sullivan
  5. Savannah Heineken
  6. Rachel Wyatt
  7. Erin Sauerhage
  8. Alanna Tarango
  9. Heather O'Connor
  10. Alexis Peterson
  11. Bridget Jacob (she makes my cut)
  12. Jalyn Stough
  13. Kristin Dodd
  14. Caroline Sundvold
  15. Miranda Tims

I am back-and-forth about Taylor Johnson and Taylor Pedersen.

So Agree!

Since I didn’t have an account by the time this appeared and I don’t think this has been shared before I’m doing it now. For the people who don’t like Amy as point, it’s only for one season, it’ll be over before you know it.

To be honest, the whole group looks like they’re barely dancing except for Bridget who is killing it. But for me Alexis was never powerful enough and it’s a shame it’s pretty much a given she will be a GL next year if she doesn’t retire.

https://beta.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/08/01/country-music-stands-moment-great-racial-change-or-so-its-biggest-cable-network-believes/?outputType=amp

According to this article, CMT has a new president, the show has new producers, so expect changes.  "We think we can go inside the conversations the aspiring cheerleaders are having and show their empowerment."  The new regime is also all about positivity.  So, the scenes when the girls left the floor after dancing, or when VK joined her fellow rookies from last year on the couch - scripted?  Or coached?  Not that we ever saw conflict before, but this could still be interesting.

Did anyone notice Amy fell half a beat behind everyone in the TS video from last night’s game (near the end of the clip when they go into the triangle - and this is when she is behind Maddie so even has people to follow!) She seems like a wonderful teammate but how did she end up as point when she is off beat so often?

Been lurking and too lazy to post- but now that the team has been announced and we have seen the first real game performances.... I must say overall I am not impressed.  The routines seem to be half hearted preformed by some, weak by others and then overcompensating by some.  I wonder if that’s why Gina is over the top sometimes- she can see there are very few powerful performers and is trying to make up for it🤷🏼‍♀️ Looking at teams from the past years... well side by side- this team would be put to shame.

She’s not ugly for sure and her main ‘problem’ is her huge grin which she can learn to cover if she wants. However, this is how she really looks (last picture):

 The photoshop is quite obvious and her hair looks much better in a side part instead of the middle part she insists on doing. If she can get her hair to look like her cameo in real life it would be great.

I feel like K&J made this a disaster year on purpose to distract us from hurricane VK and it’s working. So just knowing this year is already shot I’m focusing on next year. 

In my dreams I know but the current DCC that I hope retire after this season:

Victoria, Amanda, Lisa, Taylor P, Taylor J, Madeline, Daphne, Miranda, Savannah, Christina, Molly, Gina, Tess, Maddie, Amy

While this year isn't a TOTAL disaster, it certainly is close because of Victoria.  Victoria's editing is better, probably due to all the complaints about being so focused on her last year.  Too bad very little else has improved and the overall quality of the team seems to have been dumped.  I'll give them something of a pass on Meet the Team because it sounds like the sound system wasn't working properly, but I know that other AMAZING dance teams (and cheerleading squads) have absolutely ROCKED it when the systems conked out during performances.  If the DCC let the music being screwy or absent entirely affect the performance(s), then it's on them, not the electronics.

On 8/23/2019 at 10:13 AM, Opine said:

VK is going to be the first ever DCC to come out on a cane!!!  She isn't leaving until they throw her out.  And, that ain't happening.

And Kelli won't cut Victoria unless she's absolutely forced to or Kelli herself is replaced (especially if Victoria still has the stank attitude and entitled behavior).

On 8/23/2019 at 10:48 AM, kalibean said:

Y'all, what a delightful little gift we just got on CMT's Making the Team page!  I couldn't figure out a direct link and it's not on their instagram yet, booo.

They showed how every single TCC ranked.  17 perfect scores, including one rookie (Victoria.)  Next up Ashley, so I'm bewildered by her early cut.  Next highest rookies are Shaina and Julia, also cut.  Then Kristen and Chandi, followed by Amanda.  Lisa was below that (alongside Miranda and Alexis), Alexandra, Bret and Kelcey came next, and it was noted that Kelcey is a makeover candidate.  

The lowest ranking vet was below them, and it looked like a short haired blonde so I'm assuming that's Christina.  She wasn't top 36 but still made the top 45.  

CRAZY how things shook out in camp this year, with Christina obviously finding redemption and such high scoring rookies ultimately getting cut.  Lots of locker room issues, I'll assume, but maybe some injuries?

Frankly, based on Christina's performance at Finals, she should have been cut, but I've been saying that for years.  Ranking the girls like that is a useful evaluation tool if done properly and without prejudice.  However, we know Kelli (and Charlotte) so we know there's extreme prejudice in some cases and this tool wasn't used properly.   I would also like to see this scoreboard each week and have Kelli explain why each girl was placed where she was.  However, I will NEVER believe that Victoria's perfect score was entirely of her own doing due to her connections.

How I think this squad will retire, making this list cause we are ready for a new formations.

Alanna Tarango - She reminds me of Jessika/Bess. Better dancer though. Forgot she was on the squad. She either leaves this year or stays for a third then leaves.

Alexis Peterson - I think she might leave after this year.

Amber McMillen - I think she will be a 4 year girl.

Amy Leonall - Good and Bye, I don't think she will stay for a 6th will she?? Anyone that has any relation to Sara Gourley gives me hives.

Ashlee Ford - I think she will stay for a 3rd/4th year maybe even a 5th depends on life.

Brennan Cook - I have a feeling will want to be a 3rd year vet then leave.

Briana Baisden - I wonder if she will stay after this year. I would love if she becomes a 4th year/pro bowler.

Bridget Jacob - She has the making for a 4th/5th year, but also she could leave after this year like stars in the making seem to do lately on this squad. i.e. Maggie, Mandy, Khalyn.

Caroline Sundvold - I think she will either leave after her 3rd year or go on to a 5th year. 

Christina Riccelli - I think she will leave after this year..she is still in the far back of the pyramid and she is the example of having blonde girls just to fill a spot. I don't dislike her, but there are other talents out there that could have her spot. 

Cianna Levi - I have a feeling she will do a third year be a GL2 then leave.

Daphne Janes - She is def staying until she becomes a GL. So she might be here for a 4th year.

Erin Sauerhage - Would love her to become a 5th year, but she could leave after her 3rd/4th year.

Gina Ligi - I would say she would be a 5th year, but this year's formation has me thinking differently.

Hannah Anderson - She has the 4th year vibe and leaves.

Heather O'Connor - She will stay one more year or leave this year.

Jalyn Stough - She might leave after this year or stay for a 3rd.

Lexie Sullivan - Like Alexis I think she will leave after this year or stay for a 4th.

Madeline Massingill - We def are stuck with her for one more year of DCC Style HIPHOP

Madeline Molloy - 3rd year girl and leaves

Miranda Tims - Leaves this year 

Molly Neumeister - She will leave this year, the only she has to look forward to is GL2 position or non at all like Kelsey Bond, but Kelsey was atleast on SG. Molly is not really there.

Rachel Alexander - Leaves after this year.

Rachel Wyatt - I think she leaves after her 3rd year

Savanah Heineken - I have her leaving, but she could shock me staying for a 4th year. 

Taylor Johnson - She can def be a 4th year girl, but I have her leaving 3rd year

Tess Guidry - Leaves after this year, she could shock us and be a 5th year.

I will have to see this season to speak on these girls below:

Amanda Dilks, Chandi Dayle, Kat Puryear, Kelcey Wetterburg, Kristin Dodd, Lily Johnson, Lisa Mills, Meredith Madden, Taylor Pederson, Victoria Kalina.

I like your thinking on a lot of the veterans.  I won't be surprised if Meredith is either a one-and-done (quits of her own volition) or is cut at Finals next year unless she drastically improves.  The majority of the rest will stay as long as they want due to blending (except for Amanda, Chandi, and Kelcey), but I'm curious to see how Kristin, Lilly and Victoria pan out.  I think Victoria will either stay as long as she possibly can or realize that she's missed out on SO much that she bolts for the door as soon as the season's over and doesn't come back.

VK literally fell out of every turn she had to do and got a perfect score? Really?

I really want to see Julia’s solo. She sure looked amazing.

I really doubt she earned a perfect score.  Given one despite her mistakes? Yep, certainly was.  Those mistakes would have either gotten another girl cut or a lesser score, possibly both. 

On 8/23/2019 at 11:33 AM, TB12 said:

SAME exact thought, Veruca got a perfect score? Why did she even bother to audition clearly she was guaranteed a spot regardless. They need to try to be a little less obvious with their blatant nepotism... 

They WERE a little less obvious with the nepotism this year, but it's still there (and more behind the scenes) and not only going full throttle, but then some.  Too bad they weren't expecting us to be watching for it because we KNEW it was going to happen.  There are likely many reasons why she auditioned, but I would also throw out that Kelli didn't want to give up her spot as being the only DCC to make the squad without having to audition up, especially (and maybe even) if it meant sharing that particular spotlight with the daughter of her best friend.

On a serious note - If VK could share exactly what did she do to change, improve and mature from her old 18yr self to the present 19yr self, that would be interesting reading..

I seriously doubt she did ANYTHING to "change, improve and mature" except get one year older.  Well, that and have to deal with stupid cowards sending nasty DM's to her.  I'll likely never meet her, but if I ever meet her in person (and if she asks), I wouldn't hesitate to tell her exactly what I've said here.  I wouldn't walk up to her and unleash it upon her, but I also wouldn't hold back if asked.  To me, if you ask my opinion, you want to hear it.  If you don't like what you hear after I said it, that's on you.

Well, that's it, there is no use fighting it. TPTB told us exactly what they think DCC style is...the comment heard round the boards "17 ladies had a perfect score and the only rookie was Victoria"

I dont know how much more direct they can be. Victoria is the embodiment of DCC and The Star. 

There are only 2 choices left for us spectators...embrace it in all its glory, or dont let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out...

We don't have to embrace it in all its glory or walk away.  We can enjoy all the other aspects of the DCC and ignore certain groups and people that we DON'T enjoy.  I'm certainly not going to seek out videos of Victoria performing, but I'm also going to watch a lot of the videos posted here even if Victoria is part of them as long as she's not the sole focus of said video.

And honestly? New rule. If ANY vet falls below 36? They should go. As they are literally off the team at that point and are supposed to be already the top people. 

I agree with you.  Christina and, to a degree, Savannah and a few other girls, could have left three years ago and I wouldn't have missed them.  Several girls missed out (including Brennan) because these girls were nothing more than average in dance, personality, and appearance with nothing more than a good body and MAYBE determination and a few other things to recommend them.

Sorry I'm responding so late to some of these.  I've been spending time with my pups of the four-legged variety.  I don't own them, but they come with the house I sit and I absolutely ADORE them and they are SO much fun to be around.
