kalibean November 20, 2020 Share November 20, 2020 I definitely think MRS is only famous because of The Bachelor, but she made all the right moves to parlay public sympathy into DWTS, which elevated her profile even more. But then they try to bury all of The Bachelor nonsense and make it seem like she went straight to DWTS because she was a DCC. And I think it probably works just fine. People have very short memories, and if you tell them something is true enough times, they'll believe it. MRS is either a marketing genius or she had some great people on her team. I am very curious about the distribution of revenue streams of the DCC, because I think they're having to play to ALL types of people to keep this thing going. The calendars vs. the average appearance attendee vs the MTT watcher. You're juggling a product intended for men (tho likely heavily bought by women for men) with a family friendly appearance schedule. They're lovely ambassadors for the Cowboys, and family friendly at parades, grocery store grand openings, camps, etc. And then you've got the average Making the Team viewer. I don't have an active account on Statista, but I would imagine it hits heavy in a 25-55 female demo. And of course the DCC only exist because of the football team, but truly, the Cowboys only have eight home games. EIGHT. Unless you're on show group and/or a lot of other non game performances, you aren't dancing that often. That's why weaker dancers often get a pass IMO, especially if they're exceptionally beautiful, talented or sparkling in personality. (Kat is a good example here, maybe even Kristen...I've got nothing for Meredith.) So the DCC have to have massively broad appeal all put together in a pretty package. So it makes representation super important, IMO, but you've got to have a mix of looks (sexy, cute, girl next door, barbie, etc.) and a personality to boot. I doubt they ever struggle to attract talent. Many great dancers won't want the drama, but there will always be enough that qualify. 7 4 Link to comment
Jezlyn November 20, 2020 Share November 20, 2020 Rather impressed with her control around dancing in such a tight space. She manages to pull of most of the moves and show movement with very little. Interested to see how she progresses 7 Link to comment

I think they are trying to appeal to the younger demographic That would be great if it were applied more evenly. I'm frustrated that the powers that be at DCC can understand that the younger demographic likes TikTok, but not catch on that younger people (and, obviously, plenty of older people, too!) are also enthusiastic about women being allowed to have natural hairstyles. So far, I've seen plenty of tolerance from DCC management for the former, but not enough of the latter. I can't remember who pointed out that box braids, for example, would allow women to flip their hair in the ways that Kelli and Judy want. 10 Link to comment

I've viewed her tik toks and the trends she does for tik tok just seem forced compared to others on the app. Not saying that's a reason to not be a DCC but if they're hold to a higher standard from what we've witnessed on the show then that's how I'm seeing it. Yes, I agree it is fair to say being on Tiki Tok isn't a reason to NOT be a DCC. Edited November 21, 2020 by parrotfeathers Link to comment

LilyD November 20, 2020 Share November 20, 2020 The problem with the internet is that posted stuff is going to ‘live’ for ever. Even a short lived video, post or picture may be screen-shot, reposted, retweeted or whatever within seconds and once that happens, you’re out of control. The consequences may not affect you until years from now. When I look at Marissa’s post I see an accident waiting to happen as there is a thin line between silly and flat-out stupid. A DDC is a public person, in the spotlights and therefore vulnerable. So for the sake of those girls,I hope there is a smart social media person monitoring and coaching... ( 8 Link to comment

When they introduce her in her first season, she says she just finished her junior year at SMU so she spent her senior year there while also being a DCC, which had to take real dedication. She mentions finishing up in December, so I think she went an extra semester which makes sense since she also had a dance minor and probably took a slightly lighter course load while being a DCC. This article I found about her gave some info about her degree/work and DCC: http://stem-works.com/subjects/17-medical-innovations/cool_jobs/390 I absolutely love Melissa ~ an exquisite dancer and rockstar DCC ......and then to achieve all she did with her engineering degrees all the while being a DCC ~ what an inspiration for young women! 1 10 Link to comment

Literally partying my ass off then trying to cram for a test at 3-4 am the rest of the night (unsuccessfully, lol).

It sounds daft but I really want to see her feet. On both of her high kicks, you couldn’t see them. Looking at her ankles, she seemed a little floppy so she might not extend through to her toes. It could be a Pom thing, Daphne didn’t point her feet during kicks at semis and Judy picked up on it. 1 Link to comment

They’re using women, their talent and emotions to garner ratings and it seems a bit out of control lately. I don’t understand why they can’t understand the reason the show became popular was because it was so entertaining to see what these women went through to make the team. The process in itself is entertaining. Manufactured drama is not needed. I’d rather see full episodes of the complete solos than much of the nonsense they show. And I’m sorry, but I’m not a fan of holding a training camp during a pandemic for ratings. Should have just gone with last years squad and be done with it. Thanks for listening😂 20 Link to comment

QuarantineCrazy November 21, 2020 Share November 21, 2020 On a scale of 0(local pole dancer)to 10(SYTYCD champion), I think ALDC dancers are much closer to the top than DCC are as far as dance goes. I see more focus on uniform fit than proper technique. The only serious skill required is flexibility for a high kick. Oh and how well you can shake your uh, poms🤪 More power to these girls as they pursue their dreams of fame. But clearly the dream is to be famous, not a famous dancer. Any path will do.
