I had the same thought!!!! I've certainly heard that term before but now I always think of Vivian.

I don't know if anyone else remembers this, but there used to be a website called The Dirty that would post gossipy stuff. I can't remember if it was Dallas-specific or if you could just filter by city, but they were particularly awful about posting pics/stories of women. I think they posted stuff about men, too, but I mainly remember it being a very misogynistic, slut-shamey site. I remember Chelsea being featured on that site around the time she was a TCC, whoever posted about her said she was a snob and a partier and posted several pictures of her drinking. I'd bet anything that DCC was keeping an eye on that website.

I used to do Jay's bootcamps, they are tough! I've met him in person a few times, he is super nice and encouraging during workouts. And his wife is a trainer, too, she is also super nice and so pretty! (She's been one of his helpers on the show before, but not sure if they called out that she was his wife, she has shorter blonde hair.)

I'm pretty sure Cassie actually tried out the year before she made it to training camp. I remember someone saying that (on here or on the reddit board, can't remember) and I swear I spotted her in the crowd in the season 2 audition episode. It would make sense, when we met her she was 19, not sure why else she would have waited to audition.

I always thought that was odd. They had several girls on the team that were former Flight Crew members (Tara and Savannah were on the current team), they always talk about doing background and reference checks for training camp candidates. I thought Malena was generally very smart and capable, but the way she had such a meltdown when telling them about it was honestly kind of worrying. We all have setbacks in our careers, she could have explained it calmly and talked about what she had done in order to improve on her memory and dance skills.

I always wondered about how she couldn't live without her cat, but then all of a sudden didn't have a problem sending it to another state. (Didn't she end up moving in with Kelsey? Did Kelsey say no cats?) No idea whether she traveled to TX with the cat or not but it sounded like she had the cat by the time training camp started. Or maybe her host family was telling her, "No, you can't bring your cat into the house," maybe she had a temporary cat-sitter in NC but planned on moving the cat to TX after training camp started. I know a few people who have boarded their cat/cats for various reasons (ex: cat needs medicine so they board them somewhere that can do that) but yeah, I think it's way more common to have someone stop by to check on your cat for you. I don't follow her on social media, did she ever get her cat back? LOL now I'm curious.

Random, but I just noticed that in the finale of season 8, as the girls are lining up in the tunnel to go on the field that you can see Dayton behind them! She is standing right next to mom Shelly. She looks so young!

I don't remember the photographer you're talking about. (I believe you, I just don't remember off the top of my head.) But yes, I know exactly what you're talking about with Kitty grabbing someone's costume! Super creepy and weird. But I also think it's weird to watch Lisa and Kelli put their hands all in the girls' bras while they're fitting them for uniforms. And Kelli asking so many about whether they have implants... yeesh. That stuff offends me way more than the word "bitch."

Yes, that back extension is really hard, she has to have great strength and flexibility to be able to do that (and a lot of the other moves she did!) And yes, either S12 was a fluke or she worked really hard to improve her kicks, either way she is amazingly talented.

I'm a woman and it doesn't offend me. The terms he uses (bad bitch, sexy bitch) aren't derogatory. There's a huge difference between a gay man using those terms and a white person using the n-word. Both words can be reclaimed by a stigmatized group. It doesn't bother me for a gay man to use a phrase typically used against women (especially using it in a complimentary context) because those same words are often used in a derogatory sense towards gay men.

To be fair, when I spotted Hannah in the S12 finals auditions, she had really low kicks. I'm guessing that that kept her from getting accepted into training camp previously. But yes, I agree that cutting Hannah was awful. To compliment her on being open about her mental health struggles and then use that as a reason to cut her was just cruel.

Billy Smith. Yeah, I saw that a while back. He was hit by a car while riding his bike. :( So sad! He was a huge name in cheerleading, he even made a couple of appearances in the Cheer show on Netflix.

I'm almost positive she got cut after prelims the first time. I remember seeing her in S4 (I only remember the season because it was when they were at the Gaylord) packing up her stuff after they announced finalists. I also spotted red head Stephanie (with darker hair) leaving after semis, but can't remember what season/year.

Oh man, that book report was just awful! When I re-watched it on Pluto, it was even worse than I remembered. Poor Meghan just dug herself into a hole, they never could have sent her on any appearances. The "nutritionist" telling the girls that carbonation causes cellulite was such a face-palm moment. That's one of those old wives tales that has been around forever and there is no truth to it, if she really knew anything about nutrition she never would have said that.

Mary, Melissa and Lacey are from the same rookie class (S9). Danielle was a couple of years before (S7) and Kashara was the year after (S10).
