I think Kelli saying 'come back next year' was just for the show, and they'll never consider her as a risk of ignoring K & J's rules, and I think Ava should move on. They do their best to warn women who are on the chopping block, and are at risk of being cut in order to give them time to correct whatever issues they may have.

Sometimes there are one or two girls that we use a lot (see the DCC Wikias confessional rankings) because they give great soundbites or just provide good TV moments, so while it can sometimes seem like producers are shoving a select few candidates down their throats, its mostly just because those are the girls that make us laugh or smile in that moment. With the ending of the Making the Team season, here is the place to discuss the new squad! So from reading comments on the girls announcement post I think they are the boot buddies.

Same thing with Celinda from Season 12 And Dayton from Season 13 (I know she doesn't wanna re-audition unless they stop airing the show, but I want her on the same so bad), Brett, Madeline S. and Shaina from Season 14 (Madeline S. dance wise is not the best, but I like her nonetheless), I lovedBret!

I feel like a lot probably rides on what theseason will look in terms of who will retire as somemay hold on for one more season to be back on the field. I'd say Pro Bowl is one thing they leave entirely up to the girls (or mostly) unless the girl they choose is entirely unsuitable and that's rarely the case (and I don't think it's ever happened that they sent someone entirely unsuitable to the Pro Bowl).

They are under-utilized and under-appreciated by TPTB, and I don't want to see them get treated like Brennan.

I hope that CiCi, Jalyn, and Savannah retire. I expect to see her as show group, group leader, and a 4 year tenure as one of their strongest dancers. and I have these for some of the season 10/11 girls: Rachel A was also with Tori when she was a 2020 TCC, Lea is probably my least favorite DCC ever.

The discussion here is far more engaging and entertaining than the show itself. So far no one has said anything about S&S body shaming dancers. She was a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader . I'm just making assumptions. Now in terms of TCC girls that I wish would re-audition are Kelly, Tori, and Ashlinn from Season 15 (Not gonna lie, even though I never really cared for her Tori was robbed) Brett, Madeline S. and Shaina from Season 14 (Madeline S. dance wise is not the best, but I like her nonetheless) I also want Alexandra from Season 14 to come back but the fact that she has tried FIVE TIMES and still hasn't made it is kinda worrisome.

And how does the world of unscripted/reality television fit into this cult landscape? If shes cut, itll be because they realized this season that her look isnt mature enough for DCC, but I guarantee you, they will make it about her long legs lagging behind in routines. I wonder why they showed Christina, Elli, Chandi, and Kristen so briefly. My least favorite is either Cassie Trammell or Christina (the previous Christina, although Im not a fan of the new one either), but if it were up to me,I would not have put Lea on the team.
