The nepotism topic. Here’s the thing. The entire organization is built on nepotism. Most of the executive staff are direct family members of Jerry Jones. If we expect the DCC (run by Jerry’s daughter) to institute a no nepotism policy, we are asking the Cowboy’s organization to dismantle their entire executive team. I’m not defending it- I think it leads to bad hiring practices, reduced talent in some cases, and disgruntled teams/ employees. But, I am saying that this is a practice handed down from the top of the organization. They aren’t going to change it unless the Jones’ sell the team.

Was gonna start talking about Friday's episode, but then I started reading the recent posts. I think everyone's comments about Neil McCoy were very eye opening to me. As a guy, my instinctive response was to defend him, just because. But reading people's opinions have made me understand that his comments, behavior toward the women can be demeaning or offensive to other viewers (especially women ones).
I dunno, not trying to express an opinion on Neil McCoy specifically, but y'all have given me something to think about. I really like this forum. Makes me sit down and think and contemplate certain things. Quite shocking, really. Thanks, y'all. Keep your thoughts coming, it's very fun to read them. I guess I'll talk about the episode some other time, if at all. A lot of what I was gonna say has been pretty much said already haha, so maybe its best I'm just a spectator this week. 😉As a woman, I am not offended by Neal nor do I find him inappropriate. I think he’s more laughing at himself about how shallow he (or some men in general) can be. I’ve seen him (on the show) in a few serious moments and I think he’s been respectful and a lot less harsh than some of the female judges. (Charlotte- who I find very disrespectful)

Others have said 'creepy' and other unkind things...names are running together for me, no offense intended.
Like I said, he is a long time friend of a friend and a wonderful entertainer/performer in his own right. He's been at it a long time so knows how to wow a crowd and draw a crowd. He's on the panel because of this....the 'hot hot hot' nonsense is for show...he does actually judge the candidates on showmanship & performance ability. You'll see check marks on the sheets too
The other thing to remember about Neal is that he is also a DCC customer- he brings them into his staged show, so as a judge, he is bringing the perspective of an entertainer that actually works with the team professionally. Just a different take on him.

The lines are crooked, timing is off - someone who was there said that there were issues with the music or something, and that they did redo it and it was better. Katy was sitting a little off center so you can see the issues with lines and all.
That’s sad! I don’t think in all the years I’ve watched the show (since season 1) I’ve ever seen a clip where they really messed up a performance, and there aren’t many videos out there with even glaring mistakes.

Katy’s story is ROUGH. Yikes. K&J are probably cringing.
The thunder formation needs to be completely redone!
Gina, Amber, and Bridget should make up the triangle - any of the three could be point IMO.
Behind them should be Caroline, Tess, and Heather.
Then after that - Maddie, Amy, Rachel W, Lexie.
ALSO - why on earth is Kristin in her own line all the way back in the middle of nowhere! It looks insane and she needs to be smushed into that back line with most of the other rookies
Almost caught up... when I got to these posts, I actually caved in and created an insta account to be able to see this story. I clicked the link, signed in and it says: “story unavailable.” Can anyone help just summarize what it says? I’m very curious and swear I tried to help myself before asking you all to have to fill me in.

These girls whose parents have money and help them--wow--I am so happy for them. How different my life "may" have been had I had such privileges. I never got to take piano, ballet, go out for cheerleading, nothing. It's different now but I'm too old to be a ballet dancer! And I had really good turn out!
You are NOT too old to take ballet. As you might remember, I’ve taught dance (as a side night-time job). My oldest student was 76- she took tap because when she was very young- like 5- a dance teacher told her she didn’t have talent, so she quit. Then she saw my adult classes advertised and got up the courage and tried again- in her 3rd year, she added ballet. I ended up giving her and two other adult students who were new to dance a special dance in the recital. I even bought their costumes as a gift because I was so proud of them. You’re not too old... spread those beautiful feathers!!!

No, the comment has to do with Victoria's picture being included in Charlotte's IG. She wasn't even on the team yet.
Thanks. I didn’t see the other pics- I’m really old-school. I don’t have Insta or twitter- just a FB account that I haven’t opened in a year. SM these days makes me angry.

Caroline
Thank you! Is there controversy with Caroline? I’m getting caught up, but it looks like people were critical of Charolette posting her pick as an example of excellence. Is Caroline related to or friends with Caroline’s family or something?

Ok... who is this? I feel a little stupid, but who is this a picture of?

Welcome back lady!
You definitely need to catch up. Gina is not a bitch. 😉
I don’t think she’s a bitch- are you saying that her humility was edited out for the past 2 years? And, I’m reading as fast as I can. I’m at page 40- the night TC was announced. And, great to *see you*!

I'm good!! I've been worried about you! I think the last time we saw you, you and I sorta, kinda got in trouble for suggesting a drinking game for redundant questions😂. PM me if you have any questions about any of this stuff:)
So, while watching season 1, Kelli tells everyone that basically Nicole is better at being extra, and they all need to be like that. Is Gina more obvious than Nicole ever was?
I’ll PM you in the morning, but my comparison of Nicole/Gina- Nicole was confident but humble. I think Gina is certainly confident, but....
And, it’s season 2 right now... Abigail was just shown practicing at home and saying, “I just hope Kelly and Judy will stick with me,” commenting on how she knows she has a lot to learn to match up to the vets. She has no idea yet that they will more than “stick with her.”

TARA!!!!! OMG!!!!
Hi there! I missed you!! I’m reading the thread from page 1 so that I can get catch up and not ask/ discuss stuff that is redundant. I’m already wondering why there is no squad photo posted yet. How are you!??

Meh... I usually defend her dancing but roll my eyes at the cheater shoe and all I can see is them damn short legs. Plus the whole dance looks like recycled Erica choreo.
eh, she’s not in danger so whatevs.
The shoe! First, if you need a shoe to turn, wear BOTH shoes. Second, at this level, she “should” be able to turn on BOTH sides. She’s just advertising that she’s a weak turner on her “bad” side. Ugh.

Tamra hounds Steve to propose to Vicki; Gina makes a confession about her marriage; Tamra throws Eddie a birthday party; at the party, Kelly's plan to confront Steve goes awry and she ends up arguing with Emily's husband, Shane.

They keep calling it the office. I really hope Kelli has another room where her desk is and all her files. Working in this room would be depressing.
I think this is a conference room. Prior to the star, they met in Kelli’s actual office, so it’s still called “the office,” but she has a real office on the other side of that room.

.Basically a fancy hat back in the day needed to be pinned to your head. Hat pins themselves were often fancy accesseries. Not that I had an English grandma with an extensive hat collection.
And bitches say I don't support women! Wow. Just wow.
Thank you for the lesson, and the support!

KFB - you have a true gift for choosing the perfect pic or GIF for any occasion.
One of the instructions they used to give you in CPR class was to place your hands midline between the nipples. I muttered "you'd be pumping an old lady's stomach if you did that". ;-)
Actually, with how low those are, the CPR would move the woman from “no breathing” to “deep breathing,” mission accomplished! Happy ending!

Hey Walnut Queen:
I used to love exploring my mom's closets. Hat boxes with real hats and real hatpins galore!
I wonder how old we have to be be to know what a hatpin is?
I’ve seen hat boxes and love a great hat, but I don’t know what a hat pin is. I’d love to learn :)

OUCH! Yuck!! OMG!!
I still contend that they are both wrong, but how cold and disgusting to do this at all much less with this timing. Just gross.
On a happier note, thank you all for helping! I was out of time a few hours ago and was going to try to continue to dig.

I like the idea of having Dale on... She’s more in line with the rest of the cast. She and Ramona could really be... something together.

If John is Fudgie... is Dorinda Cookie Puss?

The Dallas Cowboys' blue star logo is representative of Texas as "The Lone Star State", is one of the best-known team logos in professional sports. The star is a motif of peace and serenity.
