This. These girls cheer for the Dallas Cowboys. The cheerleaders have taken part in performing at rodeos at the stadium for years now. This is not a new type of appearance for them. It’s simply another appearance in the day in the life of a DCC. As I understand it, I do believe every girl is offered the chance at an appearance and they have the option to say yes or no. This can be seen when we were told that Angela had opted out of a number of appearances. I also think it’s a bit of a stretch to ask your average 18-23 year old to equate the rodeo with animal cruelty. These girls just want to dance and wear their sparkly, cute uniform. As for prayer, I imagine if any of the girls prefer not to pray, they simply don’t pray. They don’t join in on the prayer and they don’t bow their heads. There is a way to be respectful of prayer while also remaining respectful of your own beliefs.

I know that the girls have to sign a contract stating they will maintain their audition weight and I know the cameo shots determine a girl’s look for the season. So, altering that appearance is definitely not approved during the season. I imagine that’s why Kelsey took advantage of the off season prior to auditions. In college, literally my entire group of friends had theirs done. The longest any of them were out of commission was 5 days max.

I do not think that was the point of the original post though. The point I believe @LadyWithCats was making is that her entire Instagram is herself. Not one single other photo of someone else. That Kalyssa's instagram presents her as self-absorbed, vapid, etc. I personally, cannot wait for the day for all forms of social media to implode and I certainly hope that day comes sooner rather than later. I find social media to be absolutely not necessary in all forms unless you are a news, government or some other major organization. I don't care what anyone is doing all day. I don't need photo proof of what you have been doing all day. I don't care what I am doing all day - much less enough to take pictures and document it on the internet. Plus, the absolute disregard for safety that people have when it comes to social media is astounding. Children's photos are stolen from profiles, even private ones and their faces are being used in the child sex trade. Things like this just baffle me that people are willing to take the risk. But whatever. Wrong tangent, wrong place.

YES. Thank you for saying it! It’s sad and disappointing in my opinion. She didn’t need to do it; she was gorgeous and now she is going plastic. What a shame. Her new ones are giant. She is definitely going to need a new style of bathing suit come calendar!

I’m confused. Human life as opposed to robots masquerading as humans? Is the AI takeover officially happening? Is Kalyssa making money off her Instagram? I thought she was just posting pictures of herself over and over and over again. But I don’t think that was @LadywithCats point. I think she was just trying to point out that Kalyssa rarely posts what I think the kids are calling “Instagram friendly” pictures. You know, a picture with friends, a picture of what she’s eating or a sunset. It’s all Kalyssa 24/7. It’s Kalyssa posing or Kalyssa posing some more or wait, Kalyssa posing.

Oh, my post was more of a reference to being an NSYNC fan and the choreography that Wade came up with for the entire No Strings Attached tour. SDW's choreography just reminds me of someone who is in desperate need of a fix of speed or meth and they can't get it so hey start to convulse and twitch. It is a slap in the face to all NSYNC fans everywhere because like him or not (totally different tangent) Wade killed this choreography.

I don’t understand why they just don’t disable comments. Done, handled. Let’s be honest though, Shannon is the social media guy and he is as dumb as a box of rocks. Plus, that man probably gets off on it. He’s an absolute idiot.

Wade Robson is deeply offended by this choreography and I feel personally attacked by this choreography. Not feeling either girl. I do hope this year’s field of girls gets better as auditions get closer. Otherwise, the 2018-2019 season is going to suck balls.

Or a JC Penney catalog. Belk, maybe.

Agree. She looks...cheap. I see shades of Hunter B. in Kalyssa and vice versa. They both post vapid, unending selfies on Instagram. They're favorite person is themselves and it's annoying. Although, I give Kalyssa a bit of credit, she's a hustler.

1. Oh. dear. 2. I absolutely hate SDW's choreography. It's a mixture of a seizure and hip pops. 3. The talent pool is seriously lacking in talent this year. 4. Maybe it's a good thing only Jenna is retiring so far? She has a wee bit of potential, I agree but she needs to work on her body. She's built like Kandi Harris and I don't think Kandi would make the squad these days.

I like Kelsey and it would be a shame if she didn't come back. She's hit her stride as a DCC and it's not like she's got much else going on besides being Brodie's girlfriend.

This. So much this. Co-sign. Agree 100%. All of this. I don’t quite follow this this post but with regard to Charlotte, I don’t think she is nearly as incilved in the day to day aspect of managing the squad. That’s why she has Kelli. Charlotte is involved when it affects the brand. She is involved when the reputation of the cheerleaders as a whole entity is threatened. She doesn’t care about the background political games or who is whose favorite. She may tell Kelli and Judy a girl isn’t making the team at auditions or a girl needs to be cut for drinking at a game but she’s not going to waste her time over someone mean mean girling another in the locker room. She’s not going to care if a cheerleader is calling herself a “fatty” and making fun of being on weight watch. Charlotte has an 8 billion dollar brand she needs to continue to develop and cultivate.

If I recall correctly, they weren’t aware that Melissa had mono when she was called out. When they found out she was ill, they apologized.
