DCC-UK

We get Pluto in the UK but no DCC channel, boo!

Christina has always reminded me of Miranda and Savannah (obvs not looks-wise). Not the best dancer but one of the best ambassadors. I'd be intrigued to know why she was cut but then without the show, we'll have no idea. I would assume she got outdanced because I can't imagine she failed the interview portion.

Only a few have dance vids on their profiles so I've no idea about them. Charly is the new Claire for sure. All styles, crazy technique.

Many of the other pro teams seem to manage it, especially in Dallas. Don't a lot of them use swimming pools mostly?

I personally think she left because the rookies were getting more technical, meaning she might disappear into the background a bit/possibly risking getting cut at finals. Sure, she is gorgeous (all of them are) but she wasn't exactly a strong, technical dancer. She definitely improved but she wasn't the best dancer. The year she retired (2018) was arguably one of the most talented rookie classes, with five of them making it onto show group as rookies.

I thought Brandi was very respectful because if someone was saying I looked like a stripper, I'd have struggled to keep quiet! I preferred her curly hair, which gave her a distinctive look. She was silly not to cut her nails down a bit though. Long nails and pom poms don't go well together.

Retirements confirmed! I thought there would be more.

When the cheerleaders themselves are so good at social media/video editing, why not just have them run the official DCC channels? Of course, pay them for when they do too!

They did a version of the kickline on YouTube, just without the middle section of fan kicks/leg lift and just a regular split at the end! If not, you can probably piece together the full kickline from the compilation video. I've watched it enough times to know it by heart!

I think Zhenya could be the one-and-done rookie. She's over 30 I think so that could be a factor.

I've always thought this was a weird one. Whilst my faves are usually the best dancers, I'd say a DCC's season is predominantly appearances, much more than dancing. Wouldn't you want those with experiences of meeting the general public in a cheerleading capacity? You can be the best dancer the team's ever had but if you can't hold a conversation well, there's no point in being a cheerleader.

I feel like we've seen a lot less of her in the past year, compared to her first year. It's a lot for really what is a part-time, underpaid job on a full-time schedule! I'm surprised more of the girls don't have burnout because they seem to be on the go all the time. I say this as someone who's always juggled multiple plates myself: work, studying, running a blog, hobbies, relationships, family, friends etc.

I think her, Karissa, Kalli Fullerton, Alexandra, Courtney s10, Kyndall, Amy A, and Malena are some of the ones that come to mind in this category. They'd be great ambassadors but the dancing/memory wasn't quite there (apart from maybe Courtney and Kyndall). I always find these cuts harder because we often warm to these types of women, they become fan favourites but they just don't have the right technique or showmanship for the field. I know Malena's meltdown didn't help her but you can't deny she might be one of the most knowledgable TCCs they've ever had about the NFL. She shined in interviews but her memory was horrendous.

It's always meant that you're a 'take the choreo home and practise extra' girl but I think it sounds odd! It's usually those with rubbish memory that are told they're a take home girl (Lauren the nurse springs to mind).

I don't particularly like any of the health and fitness experts (especailly Jay). The only one I've liked is the nutritionist from Cowboys Fit in season 13. She had some decent advice! The episode that really annoys me now is in season 6 when they go food shopping. Jay throws away all that food and that makes me feel more nauseous than some of the food options they're eating! PS I also used to work for the Post Office in the UK and can confirm there are a lot of strange items you can send. I had a customer who wanted to send live insects, which are allowed but I made someone else send them. I wasn't going anywhere near them!

God, I hate this website. Some of the girls have bigger full pic cameos than others. I know Kelee is petite but she looks super tiny compared to Lea on the same row. Honestly, you wouldn't think the website is new because it's so clunky to use for want of a better word! Why do they always give Tori a middle parting in her cameo pics when she always has a side parting the rest of the time? Not everyone suits a middle parting! I'm a millennial, the side parting is going nowhere.

I guess it depends on the job. I'm a massive fan of Jacie, especially in jazz/contemporary styles, whereas Maddie seems set on a hip-hop style. Shame for Maddie because I actually think she's stronger in other styles. However, I do think they're two of the most employable ex-DCCs they've had.

I think I saw on Instagram that Jenn Amburn and Criscilla were involved, possibly along with the Emerald Belles coach (her team took part in the show).

Hello armpits! 🤣

Ashlinn might get in trouble after that error near the end in Jalyn's group sideline (video 3).

I love Kelcey but she needs to perform with her face a bit more. You saw Ashlee, Tyra and KayDianna further back and their faces just light up on the screen.

She made show group as a rookie so she was a great dancer. For me, I love her moreso for her personality. She seems like a real girls' girl and that showed by her winning ROTY. I just find her energy infectious and she's the sort of woman I could be friends with!

Wow, what an incredible story. She's slowly becoming one of my favourites.

I saw the curls and assumed it was her. I'm not crazy for Sydney either. Like she's good and clean but she's not exactly exciting enough to have that far up front! I'm actually just watching season 5, Courtney's first training camp!

That is just a sea of blonde for me! Mia and Alexandra (I think) stand out because they're not. Can't tell who the other brunette is at the back. I never really liked Whitney that much but I can't deny that she's a perfect point, she really sells it!
