Agent Gully

From photos of DCC taken at social events, I haven't seen that many with Victoria. I would guess that she may be viewed as someone who might talk to TK or Kelli about them and that when with her socially they have to be guarded in what they say and do. Much easier not to invite her, it doesn't mean they hate her, but they can relax more when not in her company. Until exposed to diverse groups of people and gaining more experience in "the real world", Victoria will react and behave as she has been allowed to in her life up to this point. If you are allowed to get away with things and there are few to no admonishments, chances are your behaviors will continue until finally corrected (usually by a new peer group). Kelli giving her perks before she had earned them was a huge disservice to Victoria and IMO has made it harder for VK to grow up, face consequences, and make genuine friends. On another note, I liked Maddie's dress, maybe simply because it was so colorful. Everything here in winter is so dull and drab. It gave me hope for warmer weather in a few months!

What I want to know is how in photo #1, Bridget appears flat chested, lol! Separate note, the gal marking it in the Pro Bowl practice is not a Raven's cheerleader. The Ravens gal is in one of the middle rows. (My home team is the Ravens, which is why I noticed.) Hope Amy has a great time there. I have never seen anything that makes me get "mean girl" vibes about her. While I think she doesn't make a great point of triangle, she can handle the Pro Bowl easily and it makes a nice memory to end her cheering career on.

As she is my favorite, I will miss her next season. I think she had her best year this year, she looked great in the dances I saw her perform, so happy she will leave on a good note.

Thanks!

Officially he was fired today (Sunday) instead of letting his contract expire on Jan. 14th as had been the case earlier. Perhaps they have someone they want to hire before his contract would expire? Ravens fan here, so no inside info. except the news. Could someone remind me when the DCC banquet is and in what month the calendar shoot takes place?

I love Brennan and Christina for pursuing their goal to make this team. I cannot imagine all the hard work that it took to go through the process year after year. The majority of gals who have made the DCC over the decades were never superstar dancers nor made the triangle. However, they were just as much an important part of the squad as those "stars", and will always be able to say they were a DCC... For me, I enjoy watching the gals who bring other needed aspects to the team. Leadership, maturity, a shoulder to cry on, humor, etc., all are necessary for a successful enjoyable experience on any team in any occupation.

If Christina retires, I would like to see her host a similar podcast. She acted as co-host a couple of times and did a good job. Brennan would also do a great job of it, but I hope she stays on at least another year.

Ride horses! Best exercise in the world for losing weight in and gaining great strength in the thighs. Tones all the muscles, plus it's fun!

I politely disagree, they are all talented dancers and I think Christina is very pretty as are all the gals!

My guess is that Kelli has probably warned the gals year after year not to have anything on your private phone, etc. that isn't "G" rated, hence the past punishment from TPTB. If Heather is still being punished for this, that is completely hideous. Of course, a person has the expectation of privacy on their personal phone, etc. In real life, the one in the wrong is the person who hacked her phone, period. I am just saying that Kelli and company have their own rules that don't always include individual freedoms and rights. We've seen that many times over the years.

I don't have an issue with Amy going to the Pro Bowl. Personally, I like to see the wealth distributed among as many as possible. In other words, a different person for each of the following: ROTY, VOTY, Pro Bowl, point, etc. But Amy is by no means a bad choice.

I'm trying to think who we haven't seen much of this year...Savannah, Chandi,, and Brennan (who I wish would be shown much more) are the ones to come to mind.

Just jumping in to wish everyone the Happiest of Holidays!

Not awful, but I kept thinking, "ouch, concrete" and I do wish she would stop tugging at her clothes all the time.

Have to politely disagree. I think that Meredith would hold that title, although I think she will improve with time.. Christina IMO is certainly not doing anything to hurt the brand, the only thing that may hurt the brand would be decisions that are solely based on nepotism.

I'm definitely a Christina fan, IMO she has looked very impressive this year in terms of her dance.

My cause would be Neuropathy Awareness. I have Peripheral Neuropathy and suffer from extreme pain along with numbness (weird combo I know) in my feet which makes doing many physical things very difficult and/or painful. It is represented by the color of purple. Other causes I would be proud to represent would be Animal Rescue, Alzheimer's, and Anxiety Disorder/Depression.

I'm late to the party as usual. Horses and winter make for long days! I know how heartbreaking this is. It is bad enough on its own, I cannot imagine how much more horrific it is when you are a public figure. You are correct, there absolutely are deal breakers in relationships and it takes a strong person to remove themselves from that relationship when so much love and time has been invested in it. You have my support and I am sure that of many others here. Best wishes!

A few random thoughts... I didn't care much for the reveal video this year. I don't like the music, but I am 56 so I blame it on my age. Why on earth was sweet Bridget so far back and barely in focus? I like both Amy and Maddie, but thought it a bit cruel to Amy to put Maddie as the point. As to the "roster" on the Cowboys website, they are in dire need of a decent editor. The cameo photos this year are better than last year, but IMO not as good as they could be. I, like others here, would love to know the real reason Meredith is on the squad. If it is true that the gals (minus a few who I am sure will never miss being active each game, cough cough) will basically be auditioning each week to perform, that can't be at all good for stress levels and morale. Finally, what a horrible thing to do to Lily to pull her (and Kat) into the office on the last night, reminiscent of last year. I hate seeing peoples' emotions toyed with. The office scene plus allowing the squad to think Lily and Kat were cut, was pointless, cruel, drama.

I have seen several other photos of her in the background while on the field and she still seems to be carrying some extra weight (for DCC) in her stomach. That was a couple of weeks ago, so not sure what she looks like currently.

Amen! That theme makes me cringe!

I haven't watched yet, will get around to it later. Just felt the need to comment. (I have words.) At my age (56), anyone young looks beautiful to me. That "glow of youth" that fades oh so quickly is appealing. And, at my age, physical beauty means a lot less than it used to! Some men prefer the cute or attractive gals over the untouchable beauties. Thus Maddie, Amy, Christina, etc. are popular with them. Others love the stunningly beautiful ladies such as Rachel W. Some prefer the more exotic look such as Hannah. As a once "cute" gal myself ages ago, I tend to relate to those who fit that category hence my favorites on the current team.... Brennan, Christina, Bridget, etc. (For any of the DCC who visit these forums, please know that every one of you is beautiful in my eyes and in many others!)

Was watching part of Season 5 and noticed how much better the various shades of blonde looked on the gals. This season, the blondes are almost all daffodil yellow or brassy. So little (that we were shown) in the way of makeover coverage now, compared to earlier seasons.

Or aimed her cowboy boot in a well timed kick.
