Thanks for sharing your video of the pink halftime! Can someone remind me why the pink BCA performance was nixed for a few years now? And why was it brought back? Anyone know who choreographed it? I do like how it's a new performance, not the Candyman or Shake it Off (found this throwback vid from 2015). Instead of the girls doing stunts with cheerleader help, it's all them, and they wear dress-up boots, not sneakers. The music was so-so, not really blended well, and could've been curated better for a "girl power" vibe for BCA. But survivors weren't honored as they typically have done in the past by having them on the field or formulating a pink ribbon with bodies, etc. I'm glad they brought it back but that performance really fell flat. They can bring back the epic Halloween show any time though... Kelcey and Jalyn look incredible in pink.

Lisa seemed really snippy and getting attitude when she told one of the rookies that she did a good job. Didn't believe for a second that it was genuine.

YESS!

Dangit, I really wish I thought to screenshot Hannah's IG Story before she deleted it just moments ago. It was a screenshot of the latest episode, pointing out how "world class" the narrative was in chewing someone up one week for being tired, stressed, pale, off, and the next week she's applauded for her victory and stance on mental health.

Yeah, I was gonna say... how many episodes in are we and Brennan and Lily haven't been called out to provide lead up to their imminent cuts? The editing in this show is awful. You'd rather invest camera time in someone's conceited camera-hungry nature, talking themselves up as point, than telling a story to capture the overall landscape. I said it when Kash was featured in the training camp demo video and in the preview for this upcoming week, Kash is looking huge...

That entire rookie class was gorgeous and flawless, and you could tell they are super close.

I think it's a huge no, no for ANYONE DCC past or present affiliated (Marshall, Cassie) to be responding to social media comments or messages re: MTT filming/COVID & the Daphne/Caroline etc trip. It's just bad PR ontop of the bad image DCC is already presenting itself as. But for clarification, wasn't Kat amongst this group who went on the Labor Day trip? Why isn't she being punished? I mean benched to keep safe?

I understand we are all upset, pissed, and confused about the 4 vet cuts (Hannah, Brennan, Lily, and Meredith) but why is this board taking a turn and analyzing/cutting down the TCCs? Saying that Sydney isn't actually pretty after all this time, after allegations of her following her dude from ATL to TX/fraternization (I disagree; she has a stockier more muscular build than we have seen but her hair, her dimples...she is cute), or that Alora-Rose is trash due to certain photos/clips from her Ultra girl dance days in her portfolio. Her stint with Ultra was a job, a job that required a certain costume and look. The best performers are those who are chameleons in their style of dance, and costume & make-up. We have questioned girls in the past to have the "DCC look" and seen time and time again, they make it onto the squad, undergo a makeover and obtain a bit more of the "look" (Maddie comes to mind) but still not 100%, and with their experience as a DCC "get it" over time. Fake it 'til you make it. To be nitpicking seems to be real petty and callous when we should be turning our attentions and efforts into making traction for major news outlets to cover this injustice, insensitivity, and these obscene "working" conditions established in the Training Camp Bubble. I imagine if it could become known more about the "exposure" shutting down production (who, how many ppl affected) that Hannah refers to in her Insta post, that itself would be the ammo to pick up on allll of these misgivings with Brennan and Hannah related to COVID-19. Can you imagine the nail in the coffin? "This just in, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' are under fire. The DCC 'Bubble' initiative to maintain quote 'the safety and healthy of our girls' has backfired. There are 8 confirmed COVID-19 cases amongst America's Sweethearts after 40+ individuals spent three weeks together at X hotel..."

Cue the owls... Who? Who are you speculating?

I am loving a ton of these TCC: Alora, Claire W., Elli, Marissa (the new Amy?), Shannan (brunette + green/blue eyes? move over, Meredith), Sheridan, and I really hope Kennedy Jo made it. Jaycie needs a make-up makeover. Vets better be scared.

If anyone wants access to the video that was sent to the finalists, including the 2nd round kickline by Amy and choreo by Kashara, message me! I was able to figure out how to upload the humongous file.

I'm honestly surprised by how thrown together last minute and how low budget of a package it has been for finalists (film editing, lighting). I know Kashara was glorified as point and as an ambassador during her time on the team, but why would DCC continue to exclusively feature her, at her current out-of-shape size? Is she expecting? She is often seen getting winded during the routine being taught and falling out of her turns. And for anyone curious how I'm accessing the semis choreography, it's not that hard to find from social media screen shots, just sayin.

Considering I think Alexis is one of the most beautiful knock-outs on the squad (dark hair gals really stand out to me), it pains me to agree. She is a sub-par dancer, just kinda there. Even Christina stands out more for her pop than Alexis does. The whole dark hair, dazzling eyes is why Meredith is also gorgeous to me. Meredith exudes what Kelsey Low. did (minus the hilarious personality and work-horse mentality), while interestingly enough Meredith looks like Kelsey Bond... My girl Bridget in that "Power" video. Loordddttttt. Every video I see of her she is dancing "for her life" as Kelli would say, proving time and time again her spot on the squad. Like Charm said in last week's episode, she truly is SUCH a "gem" and I just wish the world for her.

Knowing the disdain for Christina, I'm sorry to say but at times Lily does look like her. Kristen's cameo pose is awful (reminds me of the chicken dance) and she still looks thicker.

The episode is still locked on CMT's website for various cable providers. Usually within A DAY, it's available to all? Anybody have a link? I am going stircrazy.
