    Are you positive about Melissa Wallace trying out previously? I never saw her face before season 9 (her rookie year). Everyone was so obsessed with her I can’t imagine how she’d be overlooked initially. 

    She is very briefly shown in Season 7 semi-finals, about 36 minutes into the first episode.  She's #74, right next to Jessica during the kick line.

    TBH, Kelli Q should have made training camp at least her 2nd time trying out, definitely her 3rd, but didn't make it until try #4. Even Kitty was wondering why they held her out of camp so much. She seemed to be miles ahead, dance-wise of some girls who made camp her 2nd and 3rd time trying. They didn't show much of either Hannah when they were held of out Training Camp, so IDK if they just improved THAT much, or were simply overlooked.

    Melissa Wallace is one that stands out to me that was on SG her rookie year after being denied entry to Training Camp when she first tried out.

    Melissa was noticeably bigger when she first tried out.  I'm almost certain that was the reason she didn't make it the first time around. "Bigger" always being a relative term when speaking about this squad, of course. ;)

    Kelli Q absolutely should have made it way before her FOURTH tryout, and it drove me batty that they mentioned that on the show during her rookie year.  I forget the exact wording, but Kelli said something about "how did we miss you all these years?!"  Yeah, we would love the answer to that as well, Kelli. <sigh>

    No kidding ouch…and Sydney is on the smaller side. She posted a pic in her stories as she was going into the hospital, and she looks so uncomfortable (tho beautiful!)  I’m a little surprised they didn’t take the baby earlier based on the trend I’ve been seeing in DFW L&D the past 10-15 years. I’m all for the most cooking time possible, but double digits in a small mom (or a bigger mom!) seems likes yikes territory.  I’m sure she has great practitioners tho, just feel for her.

    Baby of that size born at 8:21 AM on a weekday = planned Cesarean that was scheduled at 8.

    Honestly, I would think that no matter why she's so skinny, TPTB would block her from posting something like this. They want their girls to be "role models." To me, this isn't that, it's (at best) someone unintentionally promoting an unhealthy body type. A lot of young girls look up to the DCC and want to emulate them. It makes me 🥴 to know that this is what they're seeing from such a decorated, adored, and promoted veteran as something they should strive to be.

    YES - my point exactly.  They need to put a stop to this, like NOW.

    There are only two plausible explanations:

    1. She's photoshopping, to which TPTB should immediately intervene.

    2. She's truly that thin, to which TPTB should immediately intervene.

    No way should DCC allow someone that looks like this to be photographed in that uniform.

    No purpose to this post other than I can never get over Charlotte’s outfit choice and hair in Season 3 when I catch the reruns. This was 2007. The late 00s were some of my favorite years for fashion, but her look was just appallingly bad. It’s even worse on video than a still shot!

    And you just know she paid a grip for it.  I always wondered if she pissed off her stylist that year.

    Also, Charlotte has always needed the advice of Kelli's grandmother - "five pounds takes off five years!"

  7. I could totally believe the rumors about Cersten and Keyra having something to do with Katelynn not making training camp.  I couldn't stand either one of them and was more than happy to see them both leave.  Katelynn 100% should have been in training camp, although I could have done without the manufactured sob story of being raised by a single mother (the horror!).

    Here's the twist for this season, they cut to a squad of 35 but need 36 so surprise VK is back and they have a whole scene about how they had to beg her to return cause she is a star 

    Sadly, this sounds completely reasonable.

  9. I spent many years at CBC Port Hueneme with my Seabee hubby...I actually had him watch the segment of Season 7 to see if he recognized anyone in uniform coming up to the players/cheerleaders for autographs while they were at Point Mugu (which is where their plane landed that year).

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they've done training camp for years in SoCal?  If anyone has the desire to visit Ventura County, it's BEAUTIFUL.  And the strawberries are to die for.  I miss living there, and I'm sorry I never went to their training camp or their arrival at Mugu.

  10. I was also not a fan of Season 7. Cassie getting all of those undeserved opportunities just rubbed me wrong, and I also disliked Chelsea and didn't enjoy her extended screen time. Season 12 and beyond never make it to my binge-watching nights either.

    Season 6 is my absolute favorite.  The Taylor drama wasn't great, but it was entertaining at times.  I just loved how big the rookie class was and how many great gals there were to root for.

    I think with Alyssa S she was concentrating more on the moves and maybe forgot to smile.

    I recall she wrote a farewell letter on the old DCC website. A lot of the retiring DCCs did that.  She wished she had been been able to relax and enjoy it instead of concerned about getting the dances correct. I always got that impression of her trying so hard. Here's a video of her and her group dancing on the decks. Meagan M, Brittany E, and Tobie whose dancing by her seem so more relaxed and confident than Alyssa.

     

    I agree.  I can see why she was cut on Season 3 and then a one-and-done from Season 5.  Unfortunately, she doesn't grab attention (or grabs it in the wrong way).

    Is it just me, or is the dancing in the triangle formation boring. I don't mind it and I love seeing who earns point for the season, it's just that they have an entire field and they choose to dance in the same formation most of the counts. The video shows them in different formations and also using the triangle. I wish they would go back to doing this.

     

    Love these formations, especially when they transition into the kick line.

    And Alyssa - yikes.  They moved the camera off of her quickly, and I'm sure she received some "feedback" for that closeup. She just always came across as snotty to me (although less so in season 3).

  13. I love that! I think the DCRB squad is the future.  It's like the DCC can stay in the past and don't have to change (such as more diversity, or men on the squad) because they can just point to DCRB and say "see...we have that too!"

    The DCC want to claim they are the "best in the industry" and spend all of their money hiring these fancy names in dance to choreograph routines, and for what?  The show?  They still do the same ass-shaking routines during the game that are designed to grab the attention of the straight male fan.

    Jerry Jones has handed over the Cowboys Organization to you. You now own it and can make whatever changes you'd like. How do you change the Cheerleaders for the better?

    Get rid of them and let a squad like the DCRB dancers take over. This would modernize the entertainment during the games and match what most of the other NFL teams are doing.

    I have a weird feeling that Melissa Rycroft isn’t doing MTT this year. She said something on her podcast this week about going to the CMT awards because she previously had been on a CMT show, “DCC.” It sounded very past tense to me. 

    Is there even going to be a show this year?  I wouldn't be shocked if there wasn't.

    Plus Danielle too since she was originally chosen for training camp! Chelsey making training camp over Kali and Collin pissed me off too.

    The decisions made for the entirety of Season 8 reeked of "we need exciting storylines and people to cut!"  It was one of my least favorite seasons because it felt like they were pandering to the audience more than making rational decisions.

    I think the DCC made another mess up. Isn’t UNC the tarheels and UNC Charlotte is a different mascot?

    This legit looks like some 16 year old Instagramer put it together. Pathetic.
