    You also settle because if you lose a case, you could risk setting precedence that would impact all league cheerleaders. Some teams opted to drop the cheerleaders rather than defend their poor pay. And yes, the negative publicity threatened the DCC brand and the CMT show

    Or you settle because fighting Erica was not worth it.  I defend and settle cases all the time because the client would rather pay money to the plaintiff than pay me - I cost more

    I would be surprised if the contracts don't have a binding arbitration clause in them at this point🙂

    That's what I was wondering.  I was just under the impression that they were already getting paid for some of that, due to the lawsuits from other teams.  Thank you:)

    The Jones Family has more money than God.  They could, and probably have, defended a lawsuit into the ground.  They probably settled with Erica because of bad press - I can't see Charlotte risking the rep of the Cheerleaders over Erica.

    Someone asked on the Facebook group if the final team had been announced and someone said yes. 

    ummmm -- wouldn't it be all over IG if that were the case?

    On the other hand, I wonder if the girls have a gag order give the SM CF last year turned out to be. 

    curious and nosy minds want to know.

    She said it’s not easy breaking hearts 

    i get that but if you saw Megan's last cut, you know that Megan F did not believe that they didn't take girls without knowing ahead of time that they would get cut.

    While I didn't agree with Megan's attitude, she was pretty disrespectful, but I kind of agreed with her point {if not the way} she put it across.  I do think they take girls knowing they won't make it -- Judy told them at finals that Megan F didn't know the dances -- the was no way that Brianna would make it or Vivan who was in it because she wanted to be on TV by constantly playing to the camera or Karissa who made it into TC one year but not the next.  I do believe that there is a certain amount of pandering to making a TV show rather than being "world class." Its one of the reasons I don't care for this season already.  I know we have only seen one episode but it seems overproduced, with the over-concentration on Voldemort and the god awful theme.

    I also think it would interesting to see those who made the team by the skin of their teeth, who didn't make through to Camp the next, i.e., Breelan or Ashley Pro or Kat.

    All you see is teeth!  Didn't Kelli cut a girl some years ago because of her teeth?

    Freely admit that this is a petty observation, the red lipstick is too red.  - She looks natural as a brunette.

    and I don't know if Kelli got someone because of teeth but there was a girl that didn't make it into training camp because of an overbite {again, the irony - but it was pretty bad).

    I know that.  I meant how is it possible that Erica’s settlement would supposedly include how many girls are on the squad? I can see a payment being made for anything owed to her, but capping the squad at 36 is kind of an odd concession.  And what is she getting out of it?

    It wouldn't be.   You can {usually} only settle the issues raised in the lawsuit or counter suit -- not only that, but how in the world, would Erica enforce such a provision of the settlement agreement -- what damages to her?  None.

    I got a vibe I didn't like from Amanda, too.  There is a difference between having dreams, goals and ambition and being "I want to be famous" driven.   I have lost a few siblings and it was awful.  However, her interview and tears didn't seem genuine to me.  It seemed like she was doing that for attention, too.  Maybe I am more sensitive, as I have lost my own, but it just sat wrong with me.

    I felt the same when I watched her.  Something just seems off.

    Kelli also called out Erica Jenkins in season 3 because of her solo costume (a men's denim shirt and hot pants).  Kelli said the costume didn't look well thought out and made the judges think she was hiding something.  That was also the year Erica got called into the office about weight gain (?) and attitude.  After that visit, Kelli and Judy thought she had something of an attitude problem and Kelli said something like "She might as well take that attitude somewhere else" which Erica did by leaving after her second year.

    I miss the true redheads like Erica and Meredith Oden.  They were GORGEOUS and knew not only how to dance, but how to PERFORM!

    Erica, that's who I was thinking of!  (sorry Jordan : )

    #65 could have chosen a MUCH better solo costume as whatever she's wearing looks ill-fitting and the color does her NO favors whatsoever.  It's also MUCH too similar to her hair color and skin tone so, if it it didn't sparkle, it looks like she might not be wearing anything but a nude body-suit/dress.

    This reminds of the year that Kalli didn't make it back because the judges thought her costume was trying to hide weight gain and one of the Jordans (Ketchum?) who made it back but got called out for weight gain

    Infliction of emotional and physical distress and trauma, or some type of breach of contract, a good lawyer can come up with many types of lawsuit or threat of lawsuit to make sure someone does what they said they'd do. 

    Never happen.  Assumption of the "risk" (i.e. the emotional distress someone suffers if they don't make the team) and the waivers that have to be signed -

    It would be bounced right of court.  (Erica anyone?)  (Although I think there may have been an under the table settlement with a hush hush agreement in that situation.)

    i am a pretty good lawyer and I wouldn't touch the situation -- especially not for someone like VK or her stage mother.

    All arguments against Melissa R are valid, a more talented, powerhouse retired DCC should have her spot.  She was middle of the road as far as DCC goes.  That said, I have always liked her!  She got the spot on MTT because of winning So You Think You Can Dance, but I just like her positive personality.  I like that she is positive and smiley, and supports strugglers.  IMO, When there is too much snark she is a nice place to land. 🙂

    I think it was Dancing With the Stars.

    Is just me, or has Melissa been botox'd?

    I don’t think the fall was that bad.   She didn’t go all the way to the ground and only slipped because she landed on a pom. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    She needs to be aware of her space - it's going to be a problem if she doesn't learn quick -

    Omfg  when I was reading the comments about her falling out of turns I was thinking 'Surely it wasn't THAT bad!' ..... Well I was wrong! I don't really like the VK hate but  wowsers that is bad ...

    I can't wait to see how the season goes -- Judy must have patience and self-control that would put Job to shame.  Speaking of shame -- seriously Charlotte Kelli Kitty?

    WTF were you thinking because it sure as well wasn't about being world class.

    VK still falling out of turns, yet she wins another Barbie AND she makes SG.  I wonder how VK feels knowing she's being given a big honor that she is even remotely deserving of.

    You have to be self-aware in order to have that kind of insight.  Not something I see her developing -- she has been brought up to believe that this is her birthright -- she's a let them eat cake kind of girl I think.

    No pun intended.  🙂

    I'm not ordering my season until I get an idea of what is going on.  If they do what they did last year, the first ep should be available to watch on CMT.com on Friday night for free.  That might give us an indication.  Of course, I always start reading the boards as soon as the show starts.  That really lets me know what is going on.

    Kaitlyn was cut during the fall of her rookie year - no ring, not an alumni.  The others are alumni, but I would say Erica is the only one that might be questionable for invitations and all.

    I would bet money that Erica does not appear on TPTB Xmas card list -- if anything they may have asked for the ring back.
