@lemonbus230 ever since the 2019 auditions, a lot of speculation was made about Lisa/Julia/Ashley H bringing their Mavs girls drama onto DCC training camp that year. I read that Lisa teamed up with VK and got Julia and/or Ashley cut, but I already read your earlier post about Ashley getting cut over the tests. Did Kelli catch on to Julia leaving her office and cussing out in the field and cut her for that? After her media interview, why wasn’t Julia let go then? Ashley’s cut I am clear on, but I’m still confused about Julia’s. Was it manipulated for the show? Is there anything you can tell me?

No but she was centered with good amount of space in front of her to make her have a spotlight position, but still as a third year vet to be right next to the rookies is kind of insulting especially when the same girl from her rookie class is front and centered amongst the whole squad photo (My eyes go straight to Savannah. Nice try Kelli and Judy). The gap between Jalyn and Dani should be smaller with another girl in between them. Alanna should take either VK, Kat’s, and Amanda’s place.

See that’s my point I made in my post. They expect a black girl to be phenomenal in one aspect either looks or dancing. Keyra wasn’t phenomenal in either. She had MOMENTS where she was great in dancing AND not so great. I definitely think had she stayed on the team long enough she would’ve grown to be a cleaner and more consistently powerful dancer, made SG, and become a greater and stronger vet. Briana is almost on this line but since Kelli and Judy find her to be gorgeous and a good ambassador, the most she gets is occasional office visits not cuts. Keyra is not the dancer Ashlee is and short moments of powerful peak dancing from Keyra wasn’t enough to keep her on the spot. At that point, she wasn’t consistent enough to be rewarded for her dancing. Her mistakes still weren’t bad enough to mark her as a weak or bad dancer and veteran. For a black girl, if she’s not phenomenal in any department and she’s not terrible at what she does, then what does that make her? A BLENDER

I commented this on Reddit cause we were discussing Keyra. No one is sure how to feel about Keyra cause everyone is so unconsciously used to the black girls on the team to be EXTREMELY gorgeous and/or completely AMAZING dancers, that when Keyra came being not a complete stunner (which I still think she’s pretty by the way) and made many mistakes on top of that, it divided people’s feelings towards her cause she was still this “firecracker Keyra” at moments which they ran with too many times, but she also made a lot of mistakes as well. They’re not used to black girls being blenders on the team and that’s what the problem with Keyra was that she was a blender. They expect a black girl to be phenomenal or someone easy to cut not someone in between like Keyra.

So are you implying that VK didn’t have anything to do with it or that Jalyn’s behavior annoyed Kelli and whoever else that they cut her from SG to get a storyline out of it assuming that Jalyn would behave inappropriately from getting cut?

Not but it’s this common thing in multiple cultures where the oldest daughters of the families have no choice, but to practically raise their younger siblings. A lot of people want to have daughters before sons first with the sole reason of them looking after their younger siblings. Women are brought into this world with the expectation of catering and looking after others from day 1. It creates a lot of pressure and guilt on girls. Sure it is nice of Karissa to help her mom with her younger sister, but it is not fair for her to have to worry about her mom and sister while she’s out chasing her dreams. When she cried about leaving her mom and sister cause she was helping them out so much in her panel interview, it made me feel bad for her cause she’s this young woman who should fully focus on her goals is having to worry about a child that isn’t hers. There are lots of single moms who don’t any help at all let alone any older children to help them. Karissa’s mom has other ways to teach Karissa to be useful out in the real world without having to make Karissa be a second mother especially since that sister was only 2 so at that point, Karissa lived a whole life without her sister.

I don’t think pro cheerleaders should even have separate Instagrams in the first place.

Nope. Only 3 girls ever in the show’s era were former TCU showgirls although many have tried out and a few more were in TC. Emma Mary who now works with the showgirls, Jordan Daigle, and Kelsey Bond.

Well to be fair Cassie got married before Chelsea even made the team. Cassie wasn’t even at Melissa Kellerman’s wedding either (not that I’m judging her for it) which I know was a very sad moment for both of them considering Melissa was Cassie’s MOH and BFF. I’m just saying that because one wasn’t at the other one’s wedding that doesn’t mean they’re not best friends. Chelsea and Cassie have both left DCC so many years ago and Chelsea just got married a few months back so who knows if they’re friends now. Also I had no idea that Cassie and Chelsea were ever friends at all and I wonder where Cassie still stands with Melissa Kellerman now. They both seem like great moms and have beautiful families.

LMAOOO especially since she basically was raising her 2 year old sister. Parents who have their older daughters practically become 2nd mothers are selfish

Yeah I never cared for Daphne either, I do have a really small soft spot for her tho for some other reason, but I always feel bad whenever an injury holds back anyone. I think 3 years is a good time for Daphne cause aside from just being on show group, I never felt she’d get anything more than that.

Raylee made such a gorgeous bride. All of her wedding event pictures has her looking absolutely beautiful. Kind of sad to see she’s not very close with many of her DCC teammates, but I love that her Mavs teammates, especially Julia F, were there.

Everyone at the All-Stars race appearance wasn’t ALL All-Stars. For girls like Alexis, Alanna, and Savannah, it was probably a one time appearance thing. On the show, the Trevino sisters did an All-Star appearance and were made out to be All-Stars, but Shelly said they were never All-Stars. This is most likely to happen when they have retired NON All-Stars cheerleaders make an appearance when current cheerleaders have their uniform turned in during TC. Also, the race appearance had at least 10 girls- they never have that many All-Stars.

I wonder if she’ll even invite any of her DCC teammates to her wedding or if she’s still in touch with them. I know her rookie class was never really close, but I wish she would’ve stayed on the team long enough to have DCC bridesmaids and be in their weddings as well. I’m also curious to see if she’ll do thunderstruck at her wedding.

Her first son is absolutely perfect! Go look at her IG! He is the cutest freakin thing! 🥰🥺 Even Kelli once commented and complimented Alexandria on her son which surprised me cause I thought Kelli might feel a little negative about her. I actually thought that Pam Anderson rocked the skinny brows and I didn’t ever like them! But then again, she’s Pamela Anderson what she can pull off, not everyone can
