They are all fabulous but Brenda sticks out for me.

Rhonda: her form, her faces, and the fact that she's about my height, and her moves look more like what I can do than what Cathe does.
Hope: she sometimes modifies, and that used to help me feel better about modifying (now, I modify when I need/want to, and don't care if anyone else is!). And, she had the best punching form in CTX Kickboxing and CK (so I have someone to look at that doesn't make me cringe).
Loretta: for her KB form.
I'd actually like to see more variety in backgrounders, as I get tired seeing the same people all the time. Like in one series, instead of having the same 4 people, rotate through a group of maybe 8 backgrounders, so there would be a different mix in every workout.

Huh. I thought this post was about kickboxing sidekicks. :+
You know it's funny, I never really noticed Cathe's "crew" & didn't know their names until the last road trip when everyone else was talking about them. Truth be told I still don't really notice them. Cathe's my hero & she's enough to inspire me. The rest is just kind of white noise/visuals to me.

CEDIE has always been my favorite!
But I miss the old crew -- Cedie, Rhonda, Hope, and Lisa.
This is mainly because they were the ongoing cast and the first crew I discovered when I discovered Cathe.
I really, really miss Lisa and Hope.
I keep wishing they would make at least one comeback video.
Brenda is a doll -- I like her body type.
Lorrayne (sp) can really kickbox -- great form!
Jai is too thin. She looks emaciated. Those protruding ribs are not an attractive look for anyone.
She could be the Poster Woman for Anorexics Anonymous.

I've seen Cedie in person and her legs are freaking RIPPPED!
She has the best legs of any video fitness person I've ever seen.
Tracie Long has great legs, but Cedie's are better!

My husband says the same thing!
He thinks Cedie is hot and the Babe of all the cast.
He thinks Jai is way too bony....those protruding ribs, etc.

First I'll address the original poster's question. I like the whole crew but I tend to focus on Cathe, followed by Jai and Lorraine.
Now to address the comment above. PULEEEZ, Jai anorexic?!?!? Are you kidding me?!?!? Please go look at women who are actually suffering from anorexia. They look NOTHING like Jai. She is lean and muscular. I would describe her as athletic. I am a bit defensive about this because I have a very similar body type. I was always described as skinny until I started lifting weights and put on muscle. I too, am very lean, but I eat at least 3,000 calories a day! Yeah, no typo there . . . I have the metabolism of a race horse!
It's all relative. Some like Cedie because they have a similar body type, or Rhonda because she is tall like them. I like Cathe and Jai - lean and fit.

Rogue, can I borrow your metabolism for a few
Seriously, though, Jai anorexic? Have you seen many anorexic people? She has a beautifully lean, chiseled look. Sorry, your phrasing kind of unnerved me.

Sure Debbie, but it comes with being HOT all the time. I am my own heater! Actually, the metab and the heat may be because of the COFFEE drip I have attached to my arm. STARBUCKS is a calling!?!?!?

I was a little unnerved too, perhaps becoming a little unhinged as well!

I disagree about Jai. She is thin, but also very fit. No anorexic can have guns like hers.

I've been in the hospital with anorexics.
I bet Jai does not even get her period.
I think she looks very close to a person with anorexia.
I have a body type, but it is more like Shamu.
That is just my opinion, so please don't flame me.

I am sorry if I pissed anyone off.
I was just stating my opinion.
Can't we just be friendly here?
Coming unhinged over my comments is not the reaction I was trying to incite.
If I can't be honest and up front here, then what is the use of a forum?
To agree with everybody about everything?
I know you all are PM about me like crazy.
As I said, I do not want to be flamed or flame somebody else.
Life is too short.

You would be surprised.
Anorexic people go like crazy - it is almost a preternatural experience.
I knew one girl from a FIRM roadtrip. She was 5'3" and weighed in at 69 lb.
But she worked out like crazy and wrote a story about her 30 plus years of anorexic.
"One Raisenette and Three M&Ms" was its title.
She and I became quite close. She would do the Original Body Max mornings and again at night.
The last I heard from her, she was still in a hospital and was permitted to work out only 20 min per day. She also could not commmunicate by phone or Internet with anyone, not even her parents (unless an emergency came up).
And here is where I fess up:
I have had Anorexia twice in my life. Both times I was exercising appx. 3 hours per day and eating almost nothing.
I would work all day, take ballet lessons or dance with a friend, and come home and do a Firm video.
It was like a high for me. I lived for working out and for defeating hunger.
I got so sick I ended up with a hemoglobin of 9.
I did not notice because it was a gradual blood loss instead of all at once.
The last time I dealt with anorexia (appx. 5 years ago), at first WOMEN in particular complimented me on how thin I was and how great I looked
It was like I had achieved a Pinnacle of Success.
I still had muscular development, but even the bones on my back and sternum stuck out. And my ribs were just like Jai's.
Then the story changed as I began to disappear.
"She is on drugs; Cocaine"" "Her energy is too high and she starves herself.
I have no more to say on this subject because it has turned nasty and is way off the subject.
I do not want to engage in a flame war.
That's all!

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that Jai looks anorexic but she is very thin for my taste. There's one particular workout where she looks extremely thin - I think it might be PLB - where she's on the stability ball - although it may just be the position she's in.
I love them all also but if I had to pick one, I'd say Lorraine. She always looks like she's about to burst out laughing but still has great form as well as a great physique!
