I was one of those that felt Meredith should not have made the team last year. It was so hard watching her get cut. This was something that should have happened last year, her pain would not have been so paralyzing. She is a fun sweet woman and she deserved better. They did her no favors last year.
I think her and Lili were great to make it and Meredith should have gone to the Bronco's with LiLi...Took what they learned from here and Showed what they knew ...LiLi made it on her first try and she is going on her second or 3rd season now...
She needs to get it a lot more together on the field to even think about group leader. There are plenty of other second years that will be more than qualified next year, depending on retirements.
I was surprised that Meredith made the team AT ALL! She was called into the office more times than anyone else I can remember. And even as a veteran, she was still behind with the choreography.
Since last year, many people said that Meredith’s boyfriend knows Jerry Jones personally, and that he threatened Kelly and Judy that if she does not make the team, they would get fired. Many people also said that she slept with Jerry Jones and a few others to be a DCC. Personally, I don’t know how she made the team, but I do know that she is NFL Cheerleader material, but not DCC material
@@marenjaramillo6158 she actually posted about this on her personal IG and said "it's what the producers ask me to do. Believe me it's uncomfortable. My back kills me by the end of the night"
The fact she was caught off guard says it all. She’s not recognising when she’s sloppy and being outperformed in hard hitting groups. Nothing against her as a person and she’s a wonderful lyrical dancer but they should never have put her in the team. She doesn’t fit with their style.
I’m sorry, Meredith never should have made the squad in the first place. Other girls were cut for much less who were much better. I believe she made it based on her looks more than anything
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. She is stunningly beautiful and graceful. Her talent was in classical dance and she never translated her skills to DCC routines. When she did the routines, her technique seemed clunky and awkward.
Apparently she also have a connection within the company somewhere as well which is why they pushed for her last season. But I guess it just wasn't enough to keep her. She's beautiful and lovely to see when its within her comfort zone.
I don't believe it about a connection. Can you actually see Jerry Jones telling Kelli to keep her? No way. She has been director for almost 30 years....just don't believe it. Why didn't she make it into camp the first year if that were true? Kelly was the only one who voted for her this year.
@@EmVee. and it would've been the same exact routine...with the same outfit just different color top...not saying she is any less talented but it is making the team and they had the best new class (talent-wise) so far...it's like when they showed Hannah doing her same 3 signature moves...while amazing we have seen them sooo....
I'm not trying to be mean but i noticed that both her hip hop audition solo's looked a lot the same. Same trics, so it doesn't really looks new to me. I like Maddie and she has come a long way but I find that her solo's look all the same for me.
@@eskimo0 i agree- she's a wonderful dancer with a bunch of different tricks and styles under her belt but because she choreographs everything (or has the same choreographer) each year, her solos look quite similar. i think she could reach her full potential with some other choreographers or a different style influence (she's fully capable of doing something different but she's sticking to her comfort zone right now)
I feel like Meredith just lost her spark/passion for this. She got too comfortable in her spot as a “veteran” but the rookies this year are just soo strong it really shows. I just doubt she’ll be back next year. It’s like she just gave up. Poor girl.
@@carey123 I'm sad to see her go as well. I really don't think they should've cut her. She's a beautiful dancer. Not the strongest but she adds elegance to the team. They should've given more encouragement to come back next yr. All she needs is more power dance trng.
I feel like after that first office meeting, Meredith kinda gave up. She wasn't even trying during Charm's choreography, wasn't even using her plié. Tyce Diorio said something about her last year that she didn't "understand the movement". In her presentation last year she said that she had tried to audition on Broadway but it hasn't worked out. I think it takes her wayyy to long to learn and to perform a dance. Not to mention that the DCC style was definitely not her strong suit.
I remember the first year Meredith auditioned (when she did not make it into training camp) they did an in-depth backstory of how she wanted to be a dancer in New York, but got cut from basically everything. No doubt she’s a beautiful dancer with beautiful lines, but she needs to work on picking up choreo quickly and then performing it full out on the spot.
Broadway is EXTREMELY fast paced, and if you make a mistake--lead or chorus--you best not make it noticeable. I've never been on Broadway (but I love it and follow a lot of people), but my guess is that in auditions if you make a BIG mistake (i.e. turning wrong way, timing), you're out. Plus, you need to be able to sing and act, too.
Dang do the cameras do not like some of the dancers? Gina, Maddie(specifically this year) Also, how did Armani not make show group? I’m sorry, but she is one of the strongest, if not the strongest,rookies this year!
Yeah apparently they didn't film Maddie this year, which to me is sadly signaling that this is probably going to be her last year and unfortunately she doesn't get to go out with much of a bang if that becomes true.
- Maddie got enough coverage the past years so time for someone else - Armani purely didnt got SG due the lack of spaces. Originally only 3 places were open
I agree! At first sight of her I thought this was going to be legacy favoritism again but she is the real deal who made mistakes then made important corrections to now be a true leader. Love her!
I’ve always wondered how many routines they retire from previous year. This year the rookies learned 17 dances (at home via DVD) before arriving to TC which leads me to believe they learn about 30 new ones at some point during season. Meredith struggled with the new routines taught by Charm and Evan.
In one clip they've posted on youtube, Meredith claimed training camp was a "catch up".. So she'd been using training camp to remember something that should already be ingrained in her muscle memory.
Meredith forgot that each and every year is starting over.. veteran's aren't guaranteed a spot, they have to earn it. She didn't earn it starting from day 1 she was bad and never got better.
She (as I got from different sideline watchers) made mistakes during the games and during the routines during halftime. There are some people that just can’t get their style. Sorry for Meredith.
I wish we knew how many games she actually danced at last year. Oh well...doesn't matter at this point. I think she is confused as to what training camp is about as a vet. Its not for catch up.
If it was only up to Kelly decision I truly believe that she would have kept Meredith, but overall it was the best decision for the whole team. I wish her well on her next chapter.💙
It’s annoying me how they’re still dwelling on last year rookies like Kat, Victoria, Meredith etc instead on focusing on new ones like they normally do
I just love the rookies this year from the snip bits we’ve been seeing and all I’m getting from these clips is the worst round of vets (in my opinion) and flash backs to last year...
Meredith shouldn’t have even made it through last year’s auditions, I’m surprised she didn’t get cut mid season. Seems like something that should have happened years ago.
I love Meredith's dancing. It's what I live for on a show like SYTYCD. But it's just not for DCC. I also think she has a lack of self awareness. She claimed she was "caught off guard" by being called into the office, even though she was already there twice. I just don't think she gets it. She doesn't understand why she's not at the level, and she doesn't understand what she's doing wrong or how to fix it. She needs more classes where she's put under pressure to learn quickly, but with lower stakes. She's such a beautiful girl, and a beautiful dancer. But she needs more pom training to sharpen up her field skills.
She’s my favorite! Not only is she a great dancer, she has a really fun and bubbly personality which makes her stand out to me more than any other rookie so far. I think that’s a reason why so many people love Kat (myself included). Maybe she’s not the strongest dancer all the time, but she’s so fun and bubbly! It’s hard to not like her!
She just posted on her Instagram that her boyfriend has cancer :/ I really hope she still comes back next season but I would understand if she has to take a break
I’m still surprised at how Armani didn’t make the team but I’ll attribute it to COVID because only 2 rookies made show group and there’s typically at least 4-5 each year
If there is one year to not care about missing SG, it's this one. I doubt there were/will be any SG appearances at all this season, it serves more as an unofficial confirmation of being a top 16 dancer for everyone who made it.
They did meredith dirty last year... She was not and is not DCC material... she messed up during auditions, camp, practice, and games consistently but made the team due to her smile... she and kat should not have been or be on the team...
At least Kat is improving. I think the DCC style is more for her than it was for Meredith. Meredith is a beautiful dancer she should be on Broadway. Always sad to see someone’s heart be broken
Did her dirty? They let her be on the team that was her goal she has a years worth of memories and was a DCC. It was up to her to do more to do better.
I think you are saying what most are thinking. Neither are DCC level but both were allowed on because of their beauty, smile and personality. I think of 2 other candidates each year that lost an opportunity because Kelly was blinded by their esthetic. The judges say they have a standard but let people like Meredith on the team. Inconsistent. Both are beautiful souls though ❤
They did Meredith dirty. Everyone saw how she should have not made the team last year and yet they still added her. Now giving her a veteran position and then just destroying her by removing her now. They were giving her so much attention that she was doing well in all actuality she never improved.
Yesssss!!! I feel like if they had cut her towards the end of training camp last year and told her exactly what she needed to work on she would’ve been so much better off as a performer because she would’ve had some experience in training camp and known what their expectations were for the team, but she would’ve also had a year to really take fast paced dance classes and learn to pick up hard hitting choreography better. I feel bad for her because Kelli and Judi made so many exceptions for her last year and made it so that she was unable to uphold the standard expected of her as veteran
Meredith is the reason she is getting cut not anyone else. She is a veteran and she is making excuses. Meredith is responsible for bringing her “A Game” to every performance.
So true Meredith and Lily both were very good and Lily again received no feedback they just cut her Meredith was incredible. And Cassie OKG she was a Rachel W clone
Gina probably one of my fave vets this season. Her support for the girls, vet or rookie, always looks genuine and not forced. She looks like such a sweethart.
can't believe they cut out Claire's solo from this recap, seriously. It was so beautiful and mesmerizing, everyone said so and still, they decide to show Kat's or Meredith's instead🤦♀️
@@EmVee. it was a HUGE focus of the show and saying all the vets had their mouths hanging open...soooo chill ya know they focus on the drama and I didn't see anyone's whole solo here...
If you guys are able to watch these clips on RUclips you most certainly can watch the whole episodes. You can buy the whole season on RUclips and the episodes get added as they air. It takes a day or 2 for them to get posted sometimes, but the full episodes are available.
So if a veteran is cut this year and comes back next year, do they audition as a veteran candidate or are they put back to being a rookie because they missed a season?
They are considered a returning veteran candidate, I remember one season a veteran got a cut and the following season she tried out and was labeled returning veteran candidate... but she didn’t make the team again
They go right back to Prelims with everyone else. They may be called a "returning veteran", but they'd have to go through all the rounds again. Like blonde Jenna.
@@megancooke9358 : You can buy the whole Seasons on RUclips. I've already purchased Season 15. (And have full past seasons as well) Episodes get added as they air.

dancing next to ashlee for charm's routine didn't do meredith any favours. same thing when they first all danced on the field for the judges, being inbetween lexie and cianna she just got so outshined
2 года назад+4
every year the vets have a move that they all incorporate into their solos. i would love if we could get a montage of that!
All of the other judges said no, the proof was in the pudding at the first audition, Meredith bombed! Ok her solo was pretty but DCC mainly does hard hitting pom with some hip hop influences and she clearly cannot get a grip on that style. What was Kelly’s grounds for saying yes?! Kelly clearly favors her. I know she gets cuts in the end but I was flabbergasted by how many chances Kelly gives that girl.
Am I the only one who liked Meredith’s solo? It’s simple, technical but she’s very relaxed about it and I like it. She’s really good with soft smoothing move sets. She should be a lyrical/contemporary dancer. Jazz is hard for her.
It warms my heart to see Victoria come so far. From her crazy first year in training camp when she got cut to now holding her own and standing strong as a DCC vet. I bet she had a chance of being a group leader in her 3rd year. I'm also hoping Gina is a group leader this year. I'm assuming they will have Maddie as point, perhaps Gina as backup point like what they did with Maddie when Amy was point.
@@EmVee. I personally feel Gina is the strongest vet dance-wise. But they REALLY like Rachel W. so that makes sense. If I may ask, where was that information released ??
@@brennenrivera4288 Gina maybe the strongest vet dance-wise but point is more than that. Jackie Bob was at one of the games and recorded the big screen where at some points in Thundershock you'll see a empty AT&T and Maddie and Rachel W were shown as point. It is on Jackies YT channel
@@EmVee. I understand that about the point, I am just partial to Gina and to me she is the strongest bet dancer. And okay cool on Jackie Bob. With the rushed nature of the season and not doing it at the start this season has missed some things like the group leader/point announcements and the retiring veteran farewells and stuff.
anyone else notice how they really aren't socially distancing and wearing masks anymore??? like during show group auditions the claims I've seen about ppl leaving bc of safety concerns rly seem valid now especially if this is what they show on camera imagine what it's like off
I thought at this point they have been quarantining in the same building, never leaving, with the same people for weeks? That’s why they call it a “bubble”, they haven’t been bringing any guests in or anything.
@@Wonderland. Not necessarily, the hotel staff and filming crew reportedly were not screened or had to follow the same protocol. In addition, some people shared on social media them going outside the bubble, like Kashara going to a wedding for a weekend. Hannah basically got cut for voicing her concerns, if it interests you read it here: instagram.com/p/CEH84jiMhiW/?igshid=1te3ab2dbct0z
@@leahscarth2595 Kashara was in the bubble as part of DCC staff. There was a sighting of her leading stretches in an early episode this season and she also hosted a series of virtual interviews with vets from their hotel rooms.
I would love it if the full solo's would be published on RUclips... That would be so awesome to see, you could see the whole dance and not just bits and pieces!
I love Meredith soooo much. She's so beautiful inside and out, without makeup too! I hope she comes back after taking more classes in power hip-hop and getting better at what she was lacking in.
based on her IG post, meredith is definitely permanently retired from DCC and based on her age, I would assume she's retiring from like professional dance teams/companies in general.
Sorry, but I didn't think Meredith should have ever been on the team. Especially when they turned down Lilly her first try out just because of her face. I didn't think Meredith ever got the style of dance down.
Hannah did an Amazing performance & one of the best. They voted to give her no’s & maybes because she was one of the woman that spoke out about 4 of the DCC women testing positive for COVID19 also they wanted to make it look like they got rid of her based on not performing well. You will see in some of the other previous videos Sydney you don’t see at all so I’m assuming she was one of them that was sick
She was stressed because they has Sternly warned her for speaking out about DCC participates getting COVID19 a as 4 of them at least got sick while Hannah was there. In past if any of the girls said Anything that the DCC team dreams negative then it’s reason for them to remove you. They wanted to make it look like Hannah did a bad job. Remember they are in charge of the camera film & can split & tape to put only the few mistakes on tv to make it look like mistakes is all she did. Hannah was one of the Strongest Best ones on the team
It's a HUGE deal for rookies to make the show group squad. And two made it!! But they didnt even show their solo??? Like we want to see their talents too!
There are much better classical dancers than her that don't get to work as dancers, ballet is an extremely competitive art, and very few of them get to sign with a ballet company, also, most ballerinas start retiring after they turn 30 so age is not in her favor either
These choices that have to be made must be extremely hard on all parties. Everyone stepped up but some went backwards. Hopefully they will come back after more lessons in dance. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
I love their picks for Show group..Victoria, Amanda, Chandi , Maddie , Caroline all had rocky starts on their season ..Nice to see them finally show that hard work and experience pays off in the end 👏
It could easily be her outfit as Vets do sometimes borrow outfits from each other. Rachel A told in a vet vlog that she borrowed Erins 2019 outfit for her solo
I agree, she's beautiful and seems really passionate but she's not one of the best dancers if we're being honest, she came close to being cut in her first year
You are not Dcc Material at all, she was behind in the routines. The rookies were out dancing Meredith she didn’t know what to do, I am so glad that Kelli and Judy cut her about time!!!
I truly don't think Meredith should've been on the team to begin with. But, her cut was absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her, and cried with her. She's a beautiful woman, and a BEAUTIFUL dancer. But maybe DCC isn't for her? Or maybe she should take Kelly's advice and work on her timing and all that. Loved her, I adored her. But I don't think she was right for the team, from the jump.
In every other scene in this video when we see Kat she is on the beat keeping up not making mistakes and Kellie says "she has to prove herself" but is just willing to keep Meredith just because, that is not how you run a team
Marrisa will be a future leader of the team just you wait guys . The show group only had two rookies selected ...Marissa and Clair . That is some compliment to these two.
They cut Malena ( after auditioning 5times) in the last week every time... she had trouble learning routines but was a genuine sweet kind girl... But she deserved to become a DCC... Meredith however is drop dead gorgious, has some connections with management I believe, mess up every routine and she made the team 🤷🏻♀️... Glad she was cut this year so a rookie who dances better wil take her place 👍🏼
I was one of those that felt Meredith should not have made the team last year. It was so hard watching her get cut. This was something that should have happened last year, her pain would not have been so paralyzing.
She is a fun sweet woman and she deserved better. They did her no favors last year.
She should not have made the team last year
I think her and Lili were great to make it and Meredith should have gone to the Bronco's with LiLi...Took what they learned from here and Showed what they knew ...LiLi made it on her first try and she is going on her second or 3rd season now...
Both Victoria and Maddie were cuts their first year. Look at them now.
True, true
I remember that 🤣🤣. I never thought Maddie would come back like she did. That first yr she looked like a little girl.
I love Kat so much and think that her solo was so much better this year!!!!
Praise God
yess, i can see her being a group leader in the future
She needs to get it a lot more together on the field to even think about group leader. There are plenty of other second years that will be more than qualified next year, depending on retirements.
Yesss!! I loved that pinky ring moment at the end as well.
Yesss
does anyone else feel like we're not getting enough maddie content tho?? i just wanted to see her show group audition solo!
I agree, I really like her and Gina.
YESSSSS, I love maddie
I was thinking that same thinking! I keep watching these videos to see her dance and they never show her:/ Loved seeing Kat and Armani though!
Totally we need a lot more of Maddie content!!!!!!!

I think that’s a reason why so many people love Kat (myself included). Maybe she’s not the strongest dancer all the time, but she’s so fun and bubbly! It’s hard to not like her!
She just posted on her Instagram that her boyfriend has cancer :/ I really hope she still comes back next season but I would understand if she has to take a break
@@cmjdenver1 OH wow. Yes I could definitely understand her taking a year or so off after finding that news out. Also to be there for him
She got a good amount of air time.
Omg!!! I loved her and I just looked her up and found out she’s literally from my city! 😂 that’s insane!
I’m still surprised at how Armani didn’t make the team but I’ll attribute it to COVID because only 2 rookies made show group and there’s typically at least 4-5 each year
Armani didn’t make the team? Or just SG?
@@thefrogfactor3943 I think she meant show group because I know she definitely will make the 2020 DCC team
@@thefrogfactor3943 oops! I meant show grouo
If there is one year to not care about missing SG, it's this one. I doubt there were/will be any SG appearances at all this season, it serves more as an unofficial confirmation of being a top 16 dancer for everyone who made it.
You scared me there! I thought you were talking about the actual squad of 36 and I was wondering how on Earth Armani wasn’t good enough. Phew.
They did meredith dirty last year... She was not and is not DCC material... she messed up during auditions, camp, practice, and games consistently but made the team due to her smile... she and kat should not have been or be on the team...
At least Kat is improving. I think the DCC style is more for her than it was for Meredith. Meredith is a beautiful dancer she should be on Broadway. Always sad to see someone’s heart be broken
Kat improved
Unfortunately you don’t make the decisions now do you
Did her dirty? They let her be on the team that was her goal she has a years worth of memories and was a DCC. It was up to her to do more to do better.
I think you are saying what most are thinking. Neither are DCC level but both were allowed on because of their beauty, smile and personality. I think of 2 other candidates each year that lost an opportunity because Kelly was blinded by their esthetic. The judges say they have a standard but let people like Meredith on the team. Inconsistent. Both are beautiful souls though ❤
I wanna see more of Maddie and Victoria soo much
Victoria screams group leader now.
im living for victoria!!! shes gonna be point in couple years shes killin it! i love her and Kat are my favorites
Me too!! My favorites
They did Meredith dirty. Everyone saw how she should have not made the team last year and yet they still added her. Now giving her a veteran position and then just destroying her by removing her now. They were giving her so much attention that she was doing well in all actuality she never improved.
Yes they shouldn’t have let her stay in her first year, it just made cutting her harder.
Yesssss!!! I feel like if they had cut her towards the end of training camp last year and told her exactly what she needed to work on she would’ve been so much better off as a performer because she would’ve had some experience in training camp and known what their expectations were for the team, but she would’ve also had a year to really take fast paced dance classes and learn to pick up hard hitting choreography better. I feel bad for her because Kelli and Judi made so many exceptions for her last year and made it so that she was unable to uphold the standard expected of her as veteran
Meredith is the reason she is getting cut not anyone else. She is a veteran and she is making excuses.
Meredith is responsible for bringing her “A Game” to every performance.
So true Meredith and Lily both were very good and Lily again received no feedback they just cut her Meredith was incredible. And Cassie OKG she was a Rachel W clone
Gina probably one of my fave vets this season. Her support for the girls, vet or rookie, always looks genuine and not forced. She looks like such a sweethart.
can't believe they cut out Claire's solo from this recap, seriously. It was so beautiful and mesmerizing, everyone said so and still, they decide to show Kat's or Meredith's instead🤦♀️
Claire outdanced everyone in the room, I love her
@@EmVee. it was a HUGE focus of the show and saying all the vets had their mouths hanging open...soooo chill ya know they focus on the drama and I didn't see anyone's whole solo here...
I get such "Dance Mom" vibes with the music and editing.
It scared me to see Armani so low on the top thirty-six board! She was like 6th from last!
I don't think it's ranked further than who's in and out the top 36, as overwise Maddie is really low considering she's the point
@@user-xi1gm6de7c she is no longer the point
@@chriscwww9812 Maddie and Rachel both are!!😉😁
Look under season 😃🤠⭐SPOILERS
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Cowboys_Cheerleaders:_Making_the_Team
I can't watch these in my country so it is fun to watch these little clips
What country??
Yeah I'm glad they do this to that's how I found this show
It’s not available here in England as well.
If you guys are able to watch these clips on RUclips you most certainly can watch the whole episodes. You can buy the whole season on RUclips and the episodes get added as they air. It takes a day or 2 for them to get posted sometimes, but the full episodes are available.
Wow this makes me realize how lucky I am. Im sorry you guys can't watch this show
So if a veteran is cut this year and comes back next year, do they audition as a veteran candidate or are they put back to being a rookie because they missed a season?
They are considered a returning veteran candidate, I remember one season a veteran got a cut and the following season she tried out and was labeled returning veteran candidate... but she didn’t make the team again
They go right back to Prelims with everyone else. They may be called a "returning veteran", but they'd have to go through all the rounds again. Like blonde Jenna.
Thanks for your answers :) I've not watched making the team very long and only through the RUclips clips
@@megancooke9358 : You can buy the whole Seasons on RUclips. I've already purchased Season 15. (And have full past seasons as well) Episodes get added as they air. Sometimes it takes a few days for them to get posted, but the whole episodes are available. (Example: This last episode aired on Tuesday night, and it was added to RUclips on Friday night.)
@@HeatherSVideos1 how can I buy it?
Anyone else think rookie Cassie looks like veteran Kristen!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 144 LIKES I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY!
Yes! I was getting very confused.
Omg yes! I couldn’t place it but now I realize why she looked familiar. Duh lol
She remainds me of Kalyssa lookwise. Just like Taylor reminds me of Chelsea "The fatties are still here" Chaney 😂
Cassie looks like a mix between Kristen and Daphne to me!
Not really
Victoria is growing to make an amazing point one day!
I wish Savannah and Rachel W. Would get more recognition... 😇🥰🤗
Rachel W shares point this year!
Yep and she’s like the poster girl for DCC
@@user-ct4mw5yw4g I like Rachel W.
Kat's solo versus Hanna's there's no comparison really. Hanna's solo was so beautiful. I think Kat's looks bring her a long way
100%
Agree
She is still on the team because Charlotte likes her.
@@nancyleddige6997 she also very talented...
I so agree 👍
They keep recapping what they already recapped .
Wow I think Meredith is just very not self-aware about how she’s dancing.
dancing next to ashlee for charm's routine didn't do meredith any favours. same thing when they first all danced on the field for the judges, being inbetween lexie and cianna she just got so outshined
every year the vets have a move that they all incorporate into their solos. i would love if we could get a montage of that!
Meridith is a beautiful lyrical dancer. I would like to see her take her dance career in a different direction. Maybe broadway
I really love how they cheer for each other even though they are in a competition.
All of the other judges said no, the proof was in the pudding at the first audition, Meredith bombed! Ok her solo was pretty but DCC mainly does hard hitting pom with some hip hop influences and she clearly cannot get a grip on that style. What was Kelly’s grounds for saying yes?! Kelly clearly favors her. I know she gets cuts in the end but I was flabbergasted by how many chances Kelly gives that girl.
Am I the only one who liked Meredith’s solo? It’s simple, technical but she’s very relaxed about it and I like it.
She’s really good with soft smoothing move sets.
She should be a lyrical/contemporary dancer. Jazz is hard for her.
I liked her solo too. They should've kept her
I Love Victoria so much she will make a great Point one day 🤩
I hope she is next year, she deserves it. I'm a huge fan!
Too risky. She makes too many noticeable mistakes.
@@brienethefox853 Um....no
@@kellyanderson7624 ??
Claire W made me emotional watching TV. That was absolutely beautiful. Wow.
Same here!
Note: Claire posted her whole solo on her Instagram.
It warms my heart to see Victoria come so far. From her crazy first year in training camp when she got cut to now holding her own and standing strong as a DCC vet. I bet she had a chance of being a group leader in her 3rd year. I'm also hoping Gina is a group leader this year. I'm assuming they will have Maddie as point, perhaps Gina as backup point like what they did with Maddie when Amy was point.
It is already known that Maddie, Tess, Gina and Lexie are Group Leaders and that Maddie shares point with Rachel W
@@EmVee. OH okay cool!
@@EmVee. I personally feel Gina is the strongest vet dance-wise. But they REALLY like Rachel W. so that makes sense. If I may ask, where was that information released ??
@@brennenrivera4288 Gina maybe the strongest vet dance-wise but point is more than that.
Jackie Bob was at one of the games and recorded the big screen where at some points in Thundershock you'll see a empty AT&T and Maddie and Rachel W were shown as point. It is on Jackies YT channel
@@EmVee. I understand that about the point, I am just partial to Gina and to me she is the strongest bet dancer.
And okay cool on Jackie Bob. With the rushed nature of the season and not doing it at the start this season has missed some things like the group leader/point announcements and the retiring veteran farewells and stuff.
I’m not sure how Armani didn’t make show group but congratulations to all of the girls who did! 🎉👍
Purely due lack of places
Everyone sad about no Maddie but I'm just over where wanting more Amanda
Mood, I am glad Maddie isnt featured a lot this season unlike the past 5 MTT season she was in. I want to see more Rachel W knowing her promotion
Marissa, Claire, Armani, and jada r my faves of this season🎉
Wait, is this ALL they've got on Lily?! How the heck do they get to cut from here?
Possibly comparing her to some of the other blondes they have?
anyone else notice how they really aren't socially distancing and wearing masks anymore??? like during show group auditions the claims I've seen about ppl leaving bc of safety concerns rly seem valid now especially if this is what they show on camera imagine what it's like off
I thought at this point they have been quarantining in the same building, never leaving, with the same people for weeks? That’s why they call it a “bubble”, they haven’t been bringing any guests in or anything.
@@Wonderland. Not necessarily, the hotel staff and filming crew reportedly were not screened or had to follow the same protocol. In addition, some people shared on social media them going outside the bubble, like Kashara going to a wedding for a weekend.
Hannah basically got cut for voicing her concerns, if it interests you read it here: instagram.com/p/CEH84jiMhiW/?igshid=1te3ab2dbct0z
@@notarealn9674 Kashara going to a wedding shouldn’t affect anything. She retired and was never in the bubble
@@leahscarth2595 KaShara was in the bubble, you see her in some clips with the girls and she’s part of DCC staff now
@@leahscarth2595 Kashara was in the bubble as part of DCC staff. There was a sighting of her leading stretches in an early episode this season and she also hosted a series of virtual interviews with vets from their hotel rooms.
I would love it if the full solo's would be published on RUclips... That would be so awesome to see, you could see the whole dance and not just bits and pieces!
Kat seems so much fun. She's not the strongest but she's already improved a lot from her first year.
you can tell Kelly and Judy love Meredith they tried holding in their tears
I love Meredith soooo much. She's so beautiful inside and out, without makeup too! I hope she comes back after taking more classes in power hip-hop and getting better at what she was lacking in.
They really didnt add rookie Claire outdancing everyone else. The shame
Yeah ikr. I honestly expected that to make it in more than some of these other clips.
I saw her solo on Instagram and am shocked at how little camera time she gets! I wanted to see the judges comments!
She was robbed
I like the way they look with all having different outfits, a bit more relaxed!
Kelli said “Kat needs to prove herself to me” . I must have missed it. Did something happen between the two of them?
Hi! Second Love this soo much! Is it me or does Amanda reminds u of Taylor swift when she was country? (Edit: omg thank so much for the likes!
Did you know that Amanda has an old music vid she did with Howie Mandel? Called go go go? I think...
I hope Armani at least makes show group next year 😭
I am sure Armani and Elli will easily make showgroup next year!
Meredith has always been bad and I’m surprised she even made it last year tbh.
It really bothers me that Kelly was giving Meredith all those compliments just cut her. I feel bad for Meredith.
That's what you call a shit sandwich lol Kelli does them a LOT when she's cutting. In fact it's how I know she's about to cut someone lol.
I wished they showed Claire’s solo. It was amazing
based on her IG post, meredith is definitely permanently retired from DCC and based on her age, I would assume she's retiring from like professional dance teams/companies in general.
That's a shame. If she had more confidence and higher energy she'd be phenomenal.
It's crazy to see Maddie 13th on the leaderboard!!
Aww Meredith 💔 She is so gorgeous, I hope she comes back next year!
also can we get a video of Alanna? I feel like we never see her!
the height that ashlinn gets on that jump at 2:01 is so impressive
aww marrissa is the thumbnail!! love her!!
Ahhhhh, it's so crazy how soon the final squad will be announced!!!!! :)
Sorry, but I didn't think Meredith should have ever been on the team. Especially when they turned down Lilly her first try out just because of her face. I didn't think Meredith ever got the style of dance down.
Hannah did an Amazing performance & one of the best. They voted to give her no’s & maybes because she was one of the woman that spoke out about 4 of the DCC women testing positive for COVID19 also they wanted to make it look like they got rid of her based on not performing well. You will see in some of the other previous videos Sydney you don’t see at all so I’m assuming she was one of them that was sick
Her solo was great but in one of the shots where she was dancing in a group she looked a little off to me.
She was stressed because they has Sternly warned her for speaking out about DCC participates getting COVID19 a as 4 of them at least got sick while Hannah was there. In past if any of the girls said Anything that the DCC team dreams negative then it’s reason for them to remove you. They wanted to make it look like Hannah did a bad job. Remember they are in charge of the camera film & can split & tape to put only the few mistakes on tv to make it look like mistakes is all she did. Hannah was one of the Strongest Best ones on the team
Boohoo
We only 'heard' Hannah's side of the story. Maybe she really was lacking in power and choreography. There's always 2 sides to a story.
When did Hannah get cut ?she was on last nights episode
It's a HUGE deal for rookies to make the show group squad. And two made it!! But they didnt even show their solo??? Like we want to see their talents too!
Claire's solo was shown on the episode itself with Kelli/Judy saying everybody watched with open mouths. She also posted it on her IG 😍
@@EmVee. ah! I need to watch!!
I don't know why Meridith does this job for minimum wage when she is such a good classical dancer
There are much better classical dancers than her that don't get to work as dancers, ballet is an extremely competitive art, and very few of them get to sign with a ballet company, also, most ballerinas start retiring after they turn 30 so age is not in her favor either
Yoooooooooo is that Kat at the point at 7:01? She DID that.
Merideth should be a model for sure
These choices that have to be made must be extremely hard on all parties. Everyone stepped up but some went backwards. Hopefully they will come back after more lessons in dance. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Meredith wasn’t a top contestant last season and came back weaker, playing “catching up”. I’m not surprised she knew that she was getting cut.
I love their picks for Show group..Victoria, Amanda, Chandi , Maddie , Caroline all had rocky starts on their season ..Nice to see them finally show that hard work and experience pays off in the end 👏
I wanted to see Maddie’s solo!
even though meredith was not doing her best i really did love her personality and Beautiful danceing
Does anyone think that Merediths solo outfit looks like one of Victorias (I cant remember which one tho lol)
The one she did ate her second audition I think (so last years)
It could easily be her outfit as Vets do sometimes borrow outfits from each other. Rachel A told in a vet vlog that she borrowed Erins 2019 outfit for her solo
I want them to release the full versions of these solos!! Maddie’s solo wasn’t even shown 😞😞
Just watch her previous 2 solos and you'll know her 2020 solo
Kelly: Moments can’t make the team
Rookie Meredith: Hold my underserved poms
Did Armani not make show group?! HOW
I am also SUPER confused about that.
Lack of spaces, SG originally had 3 places open with Amy, Heather and Bridget gone. Erin and Chandi are the new vets
Kat starting to prove herself YAS
Kat is hands down my favorite DCC
Why doesn’t Savannah ever make show group!? Her energy is my fave!!
i agreeee!!
Is there even a show group this year?
I agree, she's beautiful and seems really passionate but she's not one of the best dancers if we're being honest, she came close to being cut in her first year
Djk33❤😍😘 you have a boyfriend how old you are
You are not Dcc Material at all, she was behind in the routines. The rookies were out dancing Meredith she didn’t know what to do, I am so glad that Kelli and Judy cut her about time!!!
I truly don't think Meredith should've been on the team to begin with. But, her cut was absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her, and cried with her. She's a beautiful woman, and a BEAUTIFUL dancer. But maybe DCC isn't for her? Or maybe she should take Kelly's advice and work on her timing and all that. Loved her, I adored her. But I don't think she was right for the team, from the jump.
In every other scene in this video when we see Kat she is on the beat keeping up not making mistakes and Kellie says "she has to prove herself" but is just willing to keep Meredith just because, that is not how you run a team
That sucks I was rooting for her last season and was so happy when she made it
I find it crazy how far the solos have come. Have yall seen the solos from the first few seasons? Most of those girls would never make it nowadays.
I love this show
Me to
victoria made my jaw drop
Marrisa will be a future leader of the team just you wait guys . The show group only had two rookies selected ...Marissa and Clair . That is some compliment to these two.
meredith is easily the most beautiful dcc i’ve ever seen
i love meredith and watching her grow as a dancer has been amazing, but in the end, i agree with kelly and judy’s decision
They cut Malena ( after auditioning 5times) in the last week every time... she had trouble learning routines but was a genuine sweet kind girl...
But she deserved to become a DCC... Meredith however is drop dead gorgious, has some connections with management I believe, mess up every routine and she made the team 🤷🏻♀️...
Glad she was cut this year so a rookie who dances better wil take her place 👍🏼
A pity you are happy like that about someone getting cut.
Btw Melena didnt audition 5 times, Amy Simone did 😉
I want to see more of Claire!!
can you post the deleted soloists??????? we missed so many rookies!
