    Disclosure I’ve never seen their swimsuit calendars only the pix we’ve seen on the show over the years but I don’t love the few pix here. Jaylyn looks absolutely miserable in her pic with the fingers pulling on the bottoms, Kat with the “I’m a cheerleader” over the head pose. The collage pic overall I think the pix are far more risqué than I would’ve thought. As Kelli would say more girl from last night than girl next door. And that is a reflection on TPTB not the girls… 

    I agree, it's a reflection on TPTB not on the cheerleaders.  I've never been a fan of their swimsuit calendars either. I think their sideline calendar or whatever it's called with them in their cheerleader uniforms is much more appropriate in my opinion.

    I took a look at their roster and I couldn’t help but notice many of their cheerleaders look OLD!

    What would you consider old? The first picture I thought at first was Gina.  All three are very pretty

    60 years of DCC! Enjoy 

    I enjoyed it, THANK YOU DCCNONAME for posting.  My only "gripe":  I wish they had focused more on the alumni as opposed to the current DCC on the big screen.  Not saying that the current DCC shouldn't participate, just that the camera should have stuck with the alumni on the big screen.

    So how about another game?

    Name two of your favorite girls from the current squad.

    One who is your favorite and would love to see as point. 

    One who you can't see becoming point but still is your favorite.

     

    Here are my picks.

    love to see as point: Chandi

    maybe not point but still my favorite: Dani

    I'll play

    Favorite - Rachel

    Jada is also my favorite but will never be point as she's the center 50 and the tallest

    Kristin is my runner up who will never be point

    Expanding on the game:

    Love to see at point/triangle  (only selecting those currently on show group) in no particular order:  Marissa, Armani, Claire, Chandi, Jalyn & Kelcey 

    Favorite Rookie:  Lea.  Although there are many rookies I really like, I seem to notice her the most.

  5. Unpopular opinion... I just wish they'd leave the wigs, weaves and extensions out and just have their natural hair and style.  I agree that they can seek out a professional opinion for a cut and style of their natural hair in the most flattering way, but honestly; Please let them choose their own style/color and wear in buns/ponytails however they want.  

    2nd unpopular opinion.  Although the occasional use of a hair flip/whip is fine, the DCC way over use it.

    I'm bored so here are my favorites from each rookie class that are currently on the team.

    5th year, neither

    4th year, Amber

    3rd year, Chandi !! 

    2nd year, Dani 

    Rookie class, Kleine

     

    Chandi is my favorite of all.

    I like the 2nd year rookie class the best. No one is week or boring.

    Okay, I'll play ☺️

    5th year neither although I have nothing against them. 

    4th year Jalyn was my favorite followed by Rachel 

    3rd year Kelcey was my runner up.

    2nd year Jada and Marissa, 

    Current is Kleine

  7. I've never liked the current style of short. They are cut/altered in the style of underwear as opposed to shorts which gives them the diaper look.  I quite prefer how the ladies look when they first put on their unaltered shorts, the fit is quite nice and attractive.

    Not just fillers but possibly veneers too?

    Veneers can and will change the shape of your face.   Such a shame that so many young people feel the need to get boobs/fillers/veneers etc when they are beautiful just the way they were.

  10. I love the new format for online auditions and think they should keep it.  The twin and knitting auditions were quite amazing!  I’d rather see these types of examples/comments as opposed to the usual sneers about why would an untalented person even tryout. 

    I would have preferred to have seen more of the judges deliberations and or comments as they have such different points of interest from the CKJ triad.

    Although I do enjoy the TCC camera interviews as well as interactions with Phil, and the TCC interactions with each other (like Ava introducing herself to Daphne on the way to the office) I’d rather not see the TCC waiting outside in a line and talk about how excited/nervous they are to audition or, walking to or from the parking lot and through the building and commenting about how pretty Kelli and Judy are as that’s just wasted material to me.  I’d rather see that wasted time dedicated to the TCC actual performances.   

    I see based on the posts that a number of people put looks as a top priority of selection but for me looks aren’t important in regards to making the team as beauty is in the eye of beholder. They’re all pretty in different ways and I prefer a variety of ages and looks.   I look for charm and personality in addition to the performance. 

    Stand out rookies for me were Kleine, I thought she was absolutely adorable and I liked Pressley as well.   Ava lost some points due to stamina issue. Tori, Ashlinn, 

    I believe the Maddie retirement discussion between Judy and Melissa was scripted for a Judy moment to talk about possible points.

    The Kat solo portion was awkward since they didn’t show it in its entirety. The other veteran solo clips shown were awesome. Unfortunately, for Daphne since the cheerleaders are contract workers, they have to beat out the rookies for their jobs each year and not automatically get a “pass” just because they were on the team before, but I sincerely hope she recovers fully from her injury.  I'm really looking forward to seeing the 2020 rookie class perform in a field setting.

    I'm not very averse to the things Kelli and them say. I expect it from them. I think they can get kinda dirty/extra with it though. I think cheerleading epitomizes vanity and pageantry like many other industries do which is reflective of the world we live in. (Modeling, acting in some cases, pageants, et cetera.)  They model for calendars, do runway shows, et cetera. Several people that tryout for DCC are also pageant winners of some kind. Also, isn't/hasn't Miss America runner-up been point for like two years. Cheerleaders kinda exist to be objectified. That's what most male fans, the primary consumers of the NFL, who go to games do anyway. (Peep their IG comments.) Looks matter more than anything. They gotta make them all as attractive as possible without completely throwing away dance/character for business. I don't expect the DCC to solve/take down the world's problems or even get ahead of other industries in this way. 

    I get what you are saying.  I recently viewed the DC R&B tab on the cowboys site and found it interesting. I've only seen them in action a couple of times during half time when they have performed with the DCC.  I was surprised that they fulfill a more diverse entertainment that incorporates not only dancing and drums but some traditional cheerleader roles as well   ☺️ 😲

    One could interpret the creation of the DC R&B dancers as a change from their “old” entertainment business model.  It certainly opens up the possibility that they could stop selling swimsuit calendars entirely, lose or change the iconic DCC uniform (after all it's in the Smithsonian museum) and just incorporate the DCC into the DC R&B since dancing is the main theme for both groups without losing anything entertainment wise. The Cowboys organization could still use people from either group for charity functions, team calendars and ambassadors.

  12. Many years of scientific studies have concluded that:  Weight has no bearing on how fit/healthy a person is.  “fat” people can be fit just as “thin” people can be the opposite.  

    Weight is just one aspect of determining a person’s health. 

    An overweight or obese person can be metabolically healthy (Blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides & blood glucose). Just as a thin person can be the opposite. 

    I find it unfortunate that DCC place so much emphasis on a specific "body type/weight", just because of their uniform. 

    Talented dancers can come in all shapes and sizes.

  13. Hello, 

    I’m confused.  I’m hoping someone can explain to me as to how releasing names of people cut; negatively impacts the integrity of the show?  I get that saying WHY the person was cut could impact the show. 

    TPTB have the option on the premier of the show to open with the team photo and then the episodes would show how/why those individuals were selected for the team.  Currently they end the season with the team photo but it really doesn't appear to matter if they show it at the beginning or at the end;  since the final team performs at football games before the show ever airs, so it doesn’t make any sense to me how the release of those who were cut on the forums/social media negatively impacts the integrity of show at all. 

    My understanding of the reason/purpose of the MTT is to show the process of how and why K,C & J select their final team for each season.  Thanks

    Kylie is super tall! 

    I think some of the vets could do with a haircut, their longer hair looks a little flat, especially Lexie, Jalyn and Rachel W. I've always thought it was harder to dancer with longer hair!

    I agree about the hair.  It has always surprised me that the corporation has access to a salon for hair and make up, but they give everyone similar colors and styles. I don't understand why there isn't a larger variety of colors, lengths and styles. IF they're going to stick with similar styles then they should allow pony tails, headbands and the like to give differing styles.

    I somehow got myself Reddit notices. Thought I had gotten myself unsubscribed. Apparently not. This gem came across this morning, though. The two hour special.

     

    I saw that and watched it last night.  I was struck by when Kelli announced the remaining people had made that team; how no one seemed to be very happy for making the team as they were all devastated by that final cut.

  16. In my opinion, the majority of show group (Jalyn included) could be point and it work out just fine. 

    Gina has improved blending in with the others on the field and would be fine as point. I enjoyed Kashara and Maddie as points as they had that "sparkle".  Bridget was an absolute joy to watch as well.  Gina, to me, is an excellent dancer, but appears to me like she's trying so hard to look like she's having fun. That's just my perception, whereas both Rachel and Caroline have a more relaxed, natural or a more effortless dancing style which is what I happen to prefer and what my eye is drawn to.

    My eyebrows don't grow in, they only grow new hair underneath my eyebrow shape which is incredibly annoying so I'll be over here with the skinny eyebrows with you @ByTor

    Unpopular opinion.  I never understood the whole eyebrow trend thing even when I was a teen.  I mean I get removing a unibrow, but otherwise, an eyebrow pencil and make up/dyes can shape your eyebrows without all the drama/pain/mutilation.

    I know she's beautiful but she does nothing with her face! Gina can be a bit OTT but I think it's easier to tone down her facials than it is to dial it up in Rachel. She's a beautiful dancer but oh so bland. 

    Wow, I perceived her completely different.  I see in the video that she smiles, changes expressions etc throughout the program and I didn't see anything "vacant" in her eyes. 

    When they have group performances my eyes tend to go right to her. But that's the great thing about group performances we all have different favorites. 

    Anywhere she is in the triangle works for me. 😊

    I expect that, even with 9 girls retiring, there will be more veterans cut, especially if Kelli has a girl crush on someone who won't make the team without cutting someone else.  Since Kelli won't want to cut other girls who might be on her favorites list, she'll cut someone on her sh*t-list.  Every year since Jalyn got cut from Show Group, I keep expecting Kelli to try to find a way/reason to cut her and the closest she came was when Jalyn was left off Show Group the next year.  Kelli was trying to either push her into a reaction or provoke one to cut jalyn and Jalyn wasn't having it.

    I'm surprised Jalyn has stuck around as long as she has.  But more power to her 😊

    Since the cheerleaders are only under yearly contracts; TPTB can pretty much get rid of a handful of veterans each year that they want based on the strength of the rookie class.  Obviously they don't tend to get rid of that many, but the opportunity is built into the program.

  20. I wish Victoria the best.  She's leaving it open to the possibility of auditioning again even though I don't really see the point in doing so as her goal was to become a DCC which she did.  She can check that goal off her list as she's young enough and has the financial support of her family so she can get her mental/physical health in order and move on with her life.

    Titans have announced their teams - with 9 men on the squad!

    I can never imagine dcc letting 1 man on let alone 9.

    Screenshot_20210524-073734_Instagram.jpg

    I'm curious; why not men?  I mean men were a part of it in the early history so it certainly wouldn't be a "new" concept.  Plus there are males in both HS and College Cheer.  There are a couple of the male guest choreographers dance just fine with poms.  Granted TPTB  would have to significantly change their "sexy girl next door" motto to bring it up to current times. 😁

    When you see that there are 19 kids in this family, and if you look up and find the percentages of any of them being LGBTQ, really heavy in to porn, etc., then I just have to think that there are more secrets with the kids than just with Josh being so extremely sick. Though he may be the sickest, I think that there must be a few more that have much different thoughts than their parents want them to have. I just can't see having 19 kids and they all turn out to be the way their parents want them to be. Just my opinion.

    It would take a lot of guts/self assurance for any of the duggarlings to venture out of the lifestyle as they would have to abandon everything they were taught as well as the risk of being shunned by their friends and family. 

    Just as an example - Look how many LGBTQ who are educated, have the ability to support themselves, have supportive friends, etc still have trouble coming out of the closet for fear of losing the love of or disappointing some of their family members?

    I'm sure there are a lot of people that have given up on their dreams - and end up doing what is "expected" of them as it's just easier to follow the path laid out in front of them.
