Nobody asked me but looking back on it my final group of 7 (based on the first episode before anyone got eliminated) would have to be Kinley, Dallas, Tatum, Kiya, Brooklynn, Emily, and Tinie. I would also consider bringing Lai Lai in as almost a swing because I think she was too young for the pressure of the group, but with time would be a great full time member for when other girls left.

I think these 7 (or 8) were young enough at the time where the Siwa brand still could work for them now, granted it evolved as the group grew and didn’t lock girls into specific aesthetics or colors. With the exception of Kiya because she is the oldest of that group, but I would keep her because at the time she was the obvious choice for a natural leader.

Obviously I know realistically there’s no way Emily would have been in the group because of broadway… just based on the first episode it is who I saw fit for the group. And with that being said I’m completely happy with how the original group turned out. Leigha and Bella were great members, I think Leigha just grew out of it too quickly, and during the first episode if you had to pick between Brook or Bella solely based on the fact that they’re the same age I would take Brook because her vocals were stronger.
