I need to catch up on these eps, I watched the first season and loved it.

gotta watch last night's episode still. oops.

Brooke is looking so good this year! I love her with her shorter hair.

I'm sad to see what'shername go this week. I really liked her dancing but I guess she did have to firm her tummy up a bit to look good in the uniforms. I'm glad they let her go so she could do it the healthy way rather than try to slim down so much in just a few weeks.

Brooke (and Kandi) both look fabulous!

I wasn't really a fan of the girl they let go, so I'm not that upset about I don't think it was just the weight (because they got Kandi down to a fighting weight last year), but maybe also an attitude thing. That was the impression that I got anyway.

I know this has nothing to do with the actual show but check out the new calander pictures of the Veterans on the official website!! WOW!!!

Moochie

I'm avoiding going to the official site so I don't find out who ends up making the team (if they have that info there) but I'll look after the season's done.

Yeah, I totally cheated and looked at the 2007 squad - but I don't remember all the girls, so it's still interesting to see who stays and who goes.

Moochie

Wow, I can't believe they got rid of the girl who was late rather than the two who have major problems dancing. I'm not a dancer but in my opinion, those girls are not going to be ready enough to be part of the team. I would've kept the late girl.

I was really surprised by that too. I mean, the training camp is only 10-12 weeks, right? So by the end of week five, they are pretty much halfway through. Can those two girls really improve their flexibility and kicks THAT much in the time remaining? It seems unrealistic.

Moochie

Exactly. They must be almost halfway through training camp. I don't see either of the girls making any significant progress in that short of a time. What I don't get is how they made it this far. There must've been other girls who already have the dance skill and flexibility out of the thousands that auditioned.

Moochie

Aw, Megan. I cannot believe they let her go and let Loni stay. Loni who hasn't improved one iota since training camp started! Ugh. How many chances will this girl get? I especially feel sorry for Megan because they hadn't even called her in at all this year so she had no idea they were unhappy with her.

blonde bombshell

Just watched the episode. Why are they keeping Loni?

Moochie

I have NO idea! Personally, I don't even think she has the look to be a DCC. Couple that with her lack of dance skills and I just have no idea what she's doing there.

I finally saw the episode and I do NOT understand why they let Meagan go instead of Loni. Meagan has clearly shown that she is willing to come in early and stay as long as it takes to learn the dances, but Loni has now been warn FOUR times about her kicks, which are the basis of being a DCC. And the way they did it was just mean and not clear. I don't really even think Loni is that pretty - I think it's the hair that I don't like. Poor Meagan!

Moochie

I definitely don't think Loni is pretty. There's something up with her eyes - she constantly has a "I'm so scared, what am I doing here?" look which is so unattractive in a cheerleader.

Meagen has proved that she'll work hard and practice hard to learn the routines as quickly as she can. And she's been doing so well! She probably thought she was safe since this was the very first time they talked to her at all this year. That was mean to blindside her like that. Loni has had 4 weeks of warnings - Meagen didn't deserve at least one?
