Another clue to the COSMO article: "While our code of conduct required us to act like nuns, strangers got away with groping us (I lost count of how many guys did the arm-over-shoulder boob grab to me when posing for pictures). These weren't just random fans either but corporate backer types who paid big bucks for the privilege of hanging out with us. " So after doing a little digging, it looks like that corporate event they focused on in tonight's episode probably had to be the AdvoCare National Success School event that happened around July 15th. Honestly lost a little respect for the DCC tonight, AdvoCare is a "Creeps-ville" type company, basically one large pyramid scheme, that found a loop-hole in corporate business ethics. I wish I could let K&J know the brand took a big hit tonight in my heart. Below was sourced from Wikipedia: In March 2016, Advocare was the subject of a critical exposée in ESPN The Magazine. The exposée argues that the company and a small number of distributors at the top of a distribution network makes most of its money from the signing-up of new distributors rather than sales of the product, while exaggerating the likelihood of financial success of distributors when only a few make a significant amount of money; that the company creates a cult-like atmosphere of not questioning the company's claims or the probability of financial success in new distributors, to the point where distributors will shun friends and family members who do so; and that the company is internally riven by divisions over the company's strong use of religious affiliation as part of its business model, with more devout members of the organization using it to gain and hold power in the organization and over its members

I apologize for calling them a "Random Cheer Team" in a previous post...K&J have done such a good job of branding the DCC as the best in the NFL....I think at this point I'm brainwashed. :)

Thanks for the kind words, can't say I really know this stuff, just speculation, but a lot of the clues do give the impression that it's about the 2006 DCC Squad.

Maybe another clue to the Cosmo story: "We were required to have nails manicured with light or clear polish" Was just being funny thought she looked like current DCC Maddie

I agree the 2006-2007 squad photo looks amazing. Is that Maddie in the front row 2nd from the left. :)

So again just speculation, but pretty sure its DCC Quotes from the article: 1) "Exactly one week later, I weighed 118....I'd lost 9 pounds (and an entire bra cup size) in seven days! The choreographer patted my butt and said "Good girl!" - that sounds like Kitty Carter to me. 2) "When you put 35 hungry, pretty girls together" - 2006 squad was 35. 3) "reality-show levels of drama ensue" - okay so we all understand this. 4) "identifying myself as a cheerleader in public" - heard this is the rule.... would some random cheer team like the Chiefs have this rule (oops sorry sore subject with the KC Chiefs, on this board) 5) "I even had to turn down public appearances for my media job (as in, the one that actually paid my bills) because the squad worried I was a risk to their reputation. " - So Dulce Rosales did commercials and other talent agency events per her online resume. 6) "The constant negative feedback and constraining rules were murdering my self-esteem" - Again this sounds like DCC to me not the Seattle Sea-Gals or Buffalo Jills. 7) "The Power of the Uniform" - Really, because we all can't get over the power of the Iconic Uniform of the New England Patriots. 8) "when it came time for a second season, I opted out" - Ducle Rosales cheered one year.

Pure speculation, but if you go through all the clues, has to be Dulce Rosales of the 2006 DCC Squad. The article without a doubt is referring to the DCC.

Saw this on Youtube, kinda interesting

Random thought, does anyone know why Kyndall F. didn't try out this year, also do you think she would have made the team if she did this year...especially with the chaos nearing the end of training camp. Thought Kyndall was amazing with a good soul....easy to root for.

I've always been confused about the Ice Angels, could their team now be considered the 2nd best Professional Dance team in the Metroplex. Their director is also is a choreographer consultant for DCC. It seems like future DCCs are being forged on the Ice Angels every year now.

I'm so on board with Taryn re-auditioning next year and being the MTT comeback girl storyline. She really felt real in her office visits, if I can say it that way. Was she UT Pom?

I thought Taryn should have made the team too...she's probably 100% on the team next year, she looks like a DCC

So I believe she had a neck injury of some sort per her Instagram live video she did with Holly. I don't think there was any type of scandal in her departure from the team. I could be wrong though.

Which locker room was Kelli referring to? Do you think KelliS and Jinelle knew per their facial reactions.

I now believe Holly was officially cut, she didn't quit...and that the awkward twitter exchange with former Dallas Cowboys player Shaun Smith is what broke the "shaved thin ice" to use Kelli's own words. Here is the timeline for Holly's last week as a DCC - Tuesday July 25th - Holly was in California with the other veterans, they visited the set of Access Hollywood that morning. Wednesday July 26th - Holly's last tweet happened on this day. The "Holly drops a Pom" video was taken at the Star at a Youth Dance Camp held that day. Again Shaun Smith must have a daughter or niece that was attending this Youth Dance Camp. Thursday July 27th or Friday July 28th - Either one of these days has to be the day that Jenna and Holly were brought into the office which we saw in last nights episode. The reason K&J had the evidence on Holly is most likely because of an internal Cowboys investigation of bar fight at Clutch that involved Zeke on July 17th. I'm not saying Holly was at the club the night of the incident with Zeke, but when enough questions were asked her name obviously came up when looking into Zeke's clubbing habits. So Holly is on "shaved thin ice" at this point, K&J are pissed and busy trying to change point for the Canton trip.....then someone gets the twitter exchange between Shaun Smith and Holly that happened just 24-48 hours prior mind you, in front of K&J...... and that was the end of Holly's career at DCC.

Interesting thought process, never considered it, I wish I could give a 2nd like to your post.

Thank you!!

Good point. The fact she was tweeting with a former Dallas Cowboys player wasn't a factor, more of the tone of the tweet. It's a really awkward exchange with Shaun Smith. It's still up on Twitter to see. Its the now infamous "Holly drops her Pom" video. To Holly's credit, it was a really bizarre initial tweet by Shaun Smith. Her reply was terrible.... note to self, don't tweet emoji's to someone born before 1982, you can tell in Shaun Smith's reply that he was perturbed. I'm assuming this was some junior DCC camp at the Star...Shaun Smith probably has a daughter that might be attending???

I wish i knew the timeline of tonight's office visit by Jenna and Holly. What day was it...probably somewhere around July 26th. This is pure speculation on my part, but this was Holly's last Tweet with her official DCC Twitter handle. I honestly believe when K&J saw this tweet, to a former Dallas Cowboys player no less... It was the final nail in the coffin. for her DCC career.

This is kinda on the "fraternization" subject for Training Camp, I'm just curious because her name has been brought up. It's concerning former DCC Paige - Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't she a rookie in Season 8 of MTT, and made a statement about just getting married to a US Marine right before Training Camp started, but she now is dating Jeff Heath of the Cowboys. Huh? Since I don't know the answer to this. Was her husband tragically killed in combat serving our country or did she get a divorce or cheated on him with Jeff Heath? If she cheated on her US Marine husband while he was deployed with Jeff Heath, going out on a limb here, but that's probably not a good storyline for MTT, the Cowboys Franchise and the CMT demographic audience. No wonder we didn't see that focused on MTT.

What I'm trying to say is on the surface this has all the variables in the right place to look like a "sexist" situation, but when you really look into it, you can see that's not the truth. Though in today's society fighting for Women's rights is battle that must go on. Lucky for us living in Texas or United States we're allowed to fight for our rights by peacefully protesting granted to us by the 1st Amendment. Thankfully the likes of Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton peacefully protested there way to the equal voting rights act, when others criticized them and told them they weren't patriots because of their protest. Does this sound familiar anyone? If you have a father, brother or uncle who is all butt hurt about football players taking a knee...knowing my Texas demographics. Please remind them that, yes you can be upset, but the 1st Amendment is the bedrock foundation of Freedom. I really wish the DCC would also take a knee prior to the National Anthem next home game. Not in protest of social injustice, but in celebration of our 1st Amendment.

It really comes down to two things in the Zeke and Holly saga...How replaceable are you and situational awareness. Again, Ezekiel Elliot can do something that only about 5 other people out of 7.5 Billion can do on this Earth. That is Billion with a capital B. I'm sure there is a rule for the football players that say you can't fraternize with the cheerleaders at risk of being cut from the football team. Imagine Holly hooking up with the backup kicker, They might cut that kicker immediately from the football team per the fraternization rule. Holly needed to have the situational awareness of this previous point with Zeke and know that she was in massive jeopardy of being let go, per how replaceable she is. Also how does she not have the situational awareness in the age of smart phones and social media that this wouldn't get back to K&J. That doesn't make sense to me. Which leads me to believe that she thought she was above the rules and irreplaceable. Stardom got to her head unfortunately. Again, if Holly was bringing in millions of revenue through calendar sales and speaking fees then she would still be a cheerleader probably...DCC is not run technically as a for profit part of the overall Dallas Cowboys business model though.

Just wanted to touch base on people who are claiming that the Dallas Cowboys are hypocritical in their actions on the alleged Holly and Zeke situation. 1. They are called the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, this a is a subset of the Dallas Cowboys. The football team is not called "Dallas Cheerleaders Football Team" 2. Fans go to ATT Stadium to see the Dallas Cowboys, they don't go in masses to see the DCC and casually watch the football game. 3. Zeke can do something at a professional level that maybe only 5 other people on this Earth of 7.5 Billion people can do. 4. I'm pretty sure there are thousands of dancers on this earth at a higher skill level than Holly. 5. Zeke brings in revenue to the Dallas Cowboys. indirectly via Jersey sales and his performance on the field. 6. Holly does not bring in revenue whatsoever to the Dallas Cowboys.

I humbly disagree, DCC is more than just beautiful women who dance at an NFL game or just America's Sweethearts. They are world class ambassadors that represent not only Texas but the United States as they travel the world. These women need to be at a level of common knowledge to warrant that title. DCC is the biggest of the Big Leagues in this space. This isn't the DMDs or some random NFL Cheer team. If you don't know Obama was a Democrat or Republican or who the First Lady is currently, that's a level of ignorance that is a massive risk to DCC....being that, if you don't know that, what else do you not know. I also thought the DCC Uniform was a fair question for Maddies LDS faith a couple of seasons back. Great question, it shows how real and iconic the DCC really are. Now if K&J are listening, during panel interviews next season please bring one of those roll down classroom maps of the United States and ask them to point to where Texas is. Oh i would love to see someone stumble on that.

Kelli's Tweet about Holly yesterday has a lot of layers to it. First, the use of the word "Surprise"...The verb "Surprise" is usually, not always, used in the English language to represent a jovial act or occasion when associated with a person. Would Kelli really use the word "Surprise" in association with ones ultimate personal demise or dismissal from the team. I really don't think she would. Second, why would Kelli reply/sub tweet with Holly's Official DCC Twitter handle in the tweet. You can easily remove that from your reply. If she wasn't associated with the Cowboys, Kelli would have almost certainly removed that from the reply. That speaks volumes on her status with the team currently. Finally, Holly still has her official DCC Twitter handle. If she quit or was dismissed from the squad. That would have been changed by now. I'm not buying the argument that they haven't because of spoilers per MTT. CMT does not run the DCC they just observe, that DCC handle would have been changed faster than a Texas Tornado. My Hypothesis - Holly is still a member of DCC, I'm dying to know what the heck is going on though.
