Just an observation, I hope that she got something from the Cowboys as part of the settlement -- she will never be able to put down the Cowboys as a reference. 🙂
As far as finding an attorney -- working on a contingency against the Cowboys probably provided plenty of incentive.

Either way, the ladies are making more money as so they should be because Erica put herself out there.
I don't believe that she did it for any altrustic purpose. She did it because she was pissed off that she got fired (rightfully so), saw the Cowboys had deep pockets and sued with the help of an attorney who also saw deep pockets.
She would not have brought the lawsuit had she not been fired. I agree with the poster above the lawsuit was retalitory-- I see it everyday in my practice.

Did I find the situation with Erica to be rather annoying at times? Yes
Do I think she was a great dancer? Yes
Do I think that this squad of talented ladies deserved a raise? 100% absolutely yes.
So thank you Erica's lawsuit, thank you.https://www.thedailybeast.com/dallas-cowboys-cheerleaders-settle-pay-dispute-entire-squad-gets-raise
I watched the game on Sunday and when I heard that the Cowboys were worth 5 billion and at least three players had guarantees of 100 million plus, I immediately thought that any argument that budget concerns kept the squad to 36 was bullshit.
Do I believe that Erica should have been released from contract for what she did -- yes -- she knew the rules and broke them. Do I applaud the result of this lawsuit -- yes but I also think they should be paid more.

Was she "tattling" or "embellishing"? There is a difference. And if it's true Judy told the judges Olivia S was toxic cause she got into it with Cassie, then that is another example of nepotism.
Agree with that example.

You can hang a lot of shit on Cassie — god knows she has faults. But I always thought bringing her back for year five was the right thing to do.
She held up the standards of a DCC for four years — even if we think rattling and being bossy aren’t great traits, TPTB do.
She got hurt on the job after four years of getting the job done — bringing her back was legit. They knew where she was in recovery at that point, and she had proven to be a team player.
I have no arguments with Cassie per se and I have posted elsewhere that I believed that she had proven herself over the four years. My point was to use her as an example of some candidates/legacies are given something of a "pass" a la VK - VK was given a pass without having the proven track record of Cassie and only because of her mom. If VK has been anybody else, say Taylor for instance who repeatedly hedged the truth with Kelli. Taylor never would have made her way back into camp.
I agree as a four year vet she was as one of the judges said, "no doubt a DCC," I think even Judy thought it when she was asked to leave the room "I would have thought she had the support of the judges." (I also happen to think that Judy being asked to leave the room was staged for the show -- an attempt to not show bias -- Jay may have been going out on a limb by voicing his opinion.)
Further, as Cassie goes, it may be somewhat unreasonable to consider what she said or did as "tattling." I mean, seriously, what was she supposed to do - not talk to her mom?

That's one of the strangest things I've heard here. What's the problem with the girls just "speaking" to K&J? And what happens if a cheerleader needs to talk to K&J before the GL's are named?
I thought it was kind of weird too. I think it was on Milan's podcast.

Not so much ... I got the impression Ally Traylor and Sarah Gorley did their fair share of some of what the "legacies" are being accused of 🙄
Maybe -- but they didn't wash out of TC the first time out and then come back to TCC and not only make the team but make SG. They were also group leaders I believe.
VK was excused because of her mom -- she is never going to get around that -- the same way that Cassie will never get around the fact that she made it back her last year after injury because of Judy.
Jay was right -- if she had been other candidate she would not have made it back. (Yes, I know Danielle made back after injury, but maybe she shouldn't have. On the other hand, she obviously worked her ass off to get back to where she needed to be.)
Unfortunately the hypocrisy and lack of consistency is rampant -- we can all bitch about it but there it is.

Pretty sad that tattling and lying are "approved" from such a "World Class" organization.
and that is why VK will never being accepted as a "legitimate" DCC no matter how she dances.

For whoever was missing the Makeovers
I find it hard to believe that Kelli approves of "tattling". JMO....
I have no doubt that Kelly approves of tattling -- its the way she is kept informed of what goes on with the team -- The rumor was the Cassie excelled at it.
Couple of examples Minchew and Gina getting called out for being plastic and having RBF.
Having said that -- if the girls aren't supposed to approach the K/J directly whatever is going on is probably filtered through the group leaders.

Was this the girl whose rookie year she hit a sideways pose and K/J said something about flat as a pancake? I mean, she looked like a 2x4? Or was it Christina? Cause I'm thinking someone invested in after market DDs.
Christina has definitely had work done -- she's not the first, she won't be the last.

I disagree. Editing on a show can make anyone look good(or bad), but we never saw these former “rockstar” teams on social media the way we do now so there isn’t even a fair way to compare. These girls now have a LOT more content and pictures and videos for people make judgments on, and I think these recent teams have held up very well in that.
But I do agree that will NEVER understand Amy at point when you have Caroline Bridget Ashlee Lexie Gina on your squad. WAKE UP KELLI AND JUDY
I agree about the editing and, if true, Charlotte should have a talk with CMT about why they are editing the show in such a way that it is giving the impression that less than "world class" dancers are making the squad and K&J are losing their collective minds.
If you assume bad editing, it explains why Kitty is not on this season given how badly her bias was on display last season.
PS - what 50+ woman goes by the name of "kitty?" i mean no offense, but she doesn't look like a "kitty."

I love Charm. I admire that she worked hard and made a name for herself from a tough neighborhood. I don’t see misery on the girls faces when learning her choreo. I see focus and attention to detail.
I agree with whoever said they like how she roots for underdogs. I hope TPTB bring her back again. She keeps it real and I find her refreshing and funny.
Not to mention she really knew her shit and played it for real.

There seemed to be a certain quality back then that just isn't present now. More talent? Maybe, but something is lacking.
The last two really good solos for me - Melissa (nerd) and Lacey

NOT TRUE. The quality of dancer has gone UP, not down, and that has caused the mediocre dancers to stand out more. In the earlier seasons, all of the dancers were mediocre so they all looked like rockstars... the girls in the earlier seasons were prettier but had much less dance talent. Many of them were competitive cheerleaders. Now the squad is made up of mostly technically trained dancers. Anyways, it’s a comparison thing. You’re disappointed in the “weak dancers” bc we’ve now had girls like Holly P come through and show us what could be... but those past seasons... just no. In the earlier seasons, a girl without dance training had a very good shot of making the squad. I remember watching them and thinking those squads were not powerful or clean. There is much more punch and precision now. Anyways, it’s the fact that there is more range now due to some very talented dancers joining that makes the lesser dancers stand out. The sea of mediocre is gone. Sometimes it’s good to have a squad that’s all on the same level bc then no one stands out and even if it’s not perfect, everything looks “right” bc of everyone is doing the same thing. Now we have range. I’ve seen more talented dancers come through every year BC OF THE SHOW. They want the exposure. We didn’t get girls who had danced professionally in Hollywood or Vegas before like we do now. We also didn’t get as many college dance captains. The older squads were mostly Texas country bumpkins who went straight from high school and studio dance teams to DCC. Now we have college educated women who furthered their training on college pom squads, girls from other professional dance teams, and even girls who worked professionally in Hollywood. These girls would wipe the floor with the earliest squads. Perception is deceptive. Having such talented high caliber dancers come in has increased the range, making the mediocre dancers stand out. But those earliest squads... were 100% mediocre dancer, which is why it was less noticeable.
Ummm I am not sure why dancers like Meredith or Kat made the team especially if there were so many quality dancers coming through that K&J could take their pic. Meredith and Kat would have never made the team even as alternates. They are medicore at best. After Charmin again, I have to agree with her assessment that the last three groups she looked at were awful and should have been cut -- my only disagreement with her - Kat, I never would have given her a sticker much less two.
On the other hand, given the obviously shrinking numbers showing up to try out means mathematically that fewer rock star dancers are showing up. Shrinking numbers means less rock stars are auditioning and making the squad. This explains, IMHO, why dancers like Kat and Meredith made the squad, why dancers like Christina are still on the squad and why Maddie is point.

And, here we are on another Saturday, where I've realized Friday evening has passed by and I completely forgot this show was even on.
That has to say something about how riveting the show is this season that we are waiting with "bated breath" for it to come on.
(I forgot the show was on until I saw the DVR light on my cable box on. 🙂 )

A few thoughts here before I put the rest of my notes (LOL) on the episode thread:
I noticed that Kashara had gained a bit of weight when shown tonight. (and good for her, she looks great to me). Maybe she will eventually take over for Melissa R.?
Poor Cheryl, she is like the harbinger of doom when she steps into the room to call a gal into the office. Every time she appears, a hush falls over the studio. They just need to add the sound effects from the shower scene in "Psycho" to complete the mood.
It is hard for me to watch Shaina knowing what sadness is to come into her life later on during TC. I will also miss Brett, she seems like she would be a great friend and teammate.
After watching tonight, it looks (unless something drastically changes) that Kat and Meredith definitely made the team (apparently as alternates, but still in uniform) based on their looks. Charm, and others have pointed out how "off" they are in their dance and put them in their lowest rankings. I keep thinking about how I would feel if I were one of them and would I be embarrassed to "just" be an alternate or glad I was on the team in any capacity?
Neither one should have made it even as alternates.
and
FTLOG please, someone, tell Meredith to lose the eyelashes and to have Kat get her teeth done. Invisilines are quite the thing I hear.

Sorry kids...just not digging Charmin (I kno her name)...
Bring Back Travis!!!
I kind of liked her. It was pretty clear that she was not intimidated by Kelli or Judy and I got the feeling she and Judy got along. Kelli not so much but only because she might not have gone along with some of her (Kelli's) choices.

Unless the Veteran does something to be on Kelli's shit list (Chelsea, Ann, Olivia....). Of course if Kitty hadn't opened her big mouth RE Chelsea.....(side note: I don't miss the Kitty segments this year)
I don't miss Kitty, but Chelsea deserved to be called out. She was completely out of line when she got smart with Kelli after being told not to appear for cameos and said something salty about "are you sure? I will stick by my phone . . ." There were also scenes where her dancing was off
I kind of thought her attitude was bad the year she made it and after being called into Kelli's office and was quoted saying that she thought she was a shoe in.
I guess I didn't see what others did. Whateveh 🙂

The idea that they told the squad not to give corrections completely undermines what Judy said the season that Cassie and Ally jumped all over Taylor. How do they explain them apples?
it also undercuts the previous seasons where Sydney Durso said its "the DCC way to help . . " and the scenes where vets like Brittany was helping MacKenzie or Whitney assigned to try and help Karissa make the squad, etc etc.
As someone said, its VK world and we are living in it.

Ok, now Travis Wall's credibility & objectivity when it comes to princess illegitimate boots must be questioned & doubted from here on out! He has a long-standing history with VK that has never been mentioned on the show before and in the interest of transparency it should have been! Given that history, they should not be asking him to rate or provide feedback on VK's dance performance. I have rewatched that whole dance sequence from the last episode in an effort to understand his "best in the room" comment about VK & I couldn't find justification for it, but now it makes total sense! I've lost all respect for him!
Kiss ass thy name is Travis.

I'm sure that Sam Finglass had only good intentions posting this on Instagram. So, this post is absolutely no judgment on her at all. With that said, if I had auditioned for DCC and was cut at any point, especially if I had made it to Training Camp, I would feel a kick to the gut from this post as if it's sending me a giant F-U.
My point exactly.

Did Victoria tell her or did she find out another way. Legally the Dr's office wouldn't have been able to give her any info.
Not to get hyper technical, but there is a difference between telling a third party that someone appeared for an appointment but not telling them what the condition they were seeing the doctor for.
Example: my gyno told hubbie that I appeared for ultrasound, not the sex of baby.
Whatever the situation was, it did not excuse someone lying to "Auntie Kelli" about it and throwing Jinelle under the bus. (Memories of Taylor lying about whether or not she had a padded bra on for cameos come to mind.)

Yes, -- when someone popped her knee in practice and went to the ground. Judy let lose with a "shit!" which was bleeped.

Former DCCs: Where They've Gone & What They're Doing
in Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team
I totally agree that the DCC have been underpaid and believe that they are still underpaid.
But I also do not believe that Erica did this for anybody but Erica.
