Cheering for Seattle for five years just makes me think about the fabulous Miranda, and how I’m still bitter she didn’t make the team. Sigh. 

I agree. I really liked Miranda, and always wondered why she didn't make the team. Every time I would see her 2 auditions, I would wonder, and then be mad. Dam I hate Kelli, more and more!!

[sydneyg]

Guys where is Kat's instagram? @katpurr shows up as account not found. Do you think she deactivated? Are DCC allowed to do that?

[TheGenuineBeauty]

After seeing that picture of Hannah during her S14 solo, I had to watch the video and HOLY GUACAMOLE Kelli made a HUGE mistake cutting her. That solo was amazing.

I was on the Miranda bandwagon too.  Never understood why she didn't make training camp.  Even Kitty Carter was fawning over her!

Meagan looked so much better in the uniform than Kat Rogers did.  Kat was way too skinny for it.  🤷‍♀️

MOST of these girls, you will find are HIGHLY insecure and need platforms or titles such as DCC to feel important. Why do you all think they spend year after year tolerating low pay and rude leaders? Anything just to be able to say “I’m a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader! Look at meeee!” Smh

Yessssss.... I still can't figure out how Kat made the team given how she looked in the uniform ESPECIALLY when Kelli cut Colby for being too thin. Colby looked way better in the uniform. I think Kelli was just so enchanted with Kat being a former rhythmic gymnast. There again, Kelli LOVES a title or someone who she thinks she can brag about... 

[SmpIsimon]

We should add the list the way Kelli kept openly calling out Colby for having had botox (before even asking her about it), which Colby denied in a way that I thought was super believable.  Kelli is truly a mean girl.

I think you hit the nail on the head, Kelli is the ultimate mean girl. She finds something in a lady that she doesn't like and runs with it. She's actually very sad because her insecurities shine through her ignorant comments. She's not fooling anyone but those desperate enough to want to be a DCC...

I always that Colby was adorable, thin yes but given how Kelli called out girls for being 2 or 3 lbs over her ideal weight, how was Colby being thin a bad thing?

I think they were reluctant on Kat, but she was an end girl with a perfect kick.  You don't always get a perfect kick in a shorty.

Same, I thought this was meant to be a joke but something tells me they think they're going to be a You Tube sensation which is sad & if I may be so petty, she's not very bright... 

Also, her video, "My Favorite Pictures of Me" ummmmm, k....

That video reminded me of the movie Beaches, where Bette Midler prattles on about herself and then says to her friends "enough from me, what do you think about me?"  My god, I've never seen such a self obsessed fame whore in my life and that includes SeaBiscuit.  We lost Brennan for this bush league beauty queen?

Edited to add that I don't think Kelli was that great looking in her day either

Poor Kelsey was repeatedly humiliated by Kelli and Judy and still managed to rise above all of it. I think after about the third time they brought up the 50 yards comment I would have walked. Then there was the bacon incident, and constantly getting the “how do we know you’re not an ambassador risk?” question. She and Kyndall and Meagan Flaherty and Kalli Fullerton were treated like garbage, sometimes by the organization and sometimes by the TV editing crew.

And calling her hair a broom

What in the actual f&*k is this ?   What in the hell are we watching? 

[SmpIsimon]

I'm hoping Meagan's courage in coming forward to discuss the ill treatment she received at Kelli's hands will inspire other past DCC and TCC to come forward with their stories.  I understand why the current squad members are reluctant to come forward and support Hannah and Brennan as they (correctly) point out that training camp is now completely designed to create drama for a reality show that relatively few people have even heard of.  But there's no reason women from the past can't come forward and share their stories in solidarity.  I hope they do!

Actually off the track thoroughbreds are one of the best horses to own

My friend is a trainer and has horses in most of the big races (Santa Anita, Breeders cup).  Maybe it's an age thing as I tend to see horses who are actively racing.  I've ridden all my life and she's allowed me on two in the entire 25 years we've been friends.  Good to know they mellow out after a while.

Kat R. always reminded me of a little girl. The least mature looking of any DCC.

It could be the difference of a lot of OTTR tend to be ones that haven't raced much, most don't make much at all. Comparing failed race horses to ones that have run big races is a big difference.

But don't want to derail the thread on here lol

Lol, for a minute I thought everyone was talking about current Kat! I don't think she is one of the best spoken, but she is by far one of the most attractive DCCs ever!

[suzo]

Firs time poster, long time lurker... I just needed to say this: 

1. I watched the final audition ep of season 14 recently and am still fuming they cut Gabby. Vet cuts always seem cruel but she was so strong all season and other than the two cuts of her stomach looking a little less like abs than some of the other girls when kicking, didn't look in bad shape at all.

2. I had a scroll through Victoria's Instagram and there's a video posted of her Group performing on a stage together and Meredith, Lilly, Brennan and Hannah all put in incredible performances. Not Meredith's biggest fan but she was really watchable and full of power. I'm still at a loss for words re: Brennan and Hannah's cuts. 

3. Someone asked why there were only 17 in show group this year. How many are there usually, 16 or 18? If it's 18, is it possible that Hannah made SG and then still got cut?? 

Anyone have any idea when to expect a team announcement/reveal? I know we already know who made the team but I really want to see photo evidence and what kind of justification / excuses they provide.

Personally, I never thought she looked immature, but I had a problem with her hair. It always looked very yellow to me, and the ends were always incredibly thin and damaged. Erica's hair wasn't nearly as bad as hers and they gave her a boatload of extensions for thickness, so I'm not sure why they didn't do that for Kat.

[5678Pixie]

This is TCC Tori, Tara and Kash.  You can clearly see that Tori should have made the team.  Can't help from wonder if she would have been from a different state she would have made the team.  Kelli likes to be able to say the girls come from all states.  One more thing about Kelli that she is really unfair about.  How does she justify cutting Tori, Brennan and Hannah for the team she picked this year, it  is very disturbing.

[ElenaFR]

Every year Kelli has a pet that should not have made the team and is usually cut the following year. It would appear that it is all for the show. She needs one pet project each year: Gymnast Kat, red head Brennan, Morgan, Meredith, etc. I wonder which TCC was her project for 2020. 

[SmpIsimon]

I'm still super interested to see how things get spun this season.

To me, she looked like a hillbilly. Her hair was atrocious, even after the makeover. And her makeup looked like my five year old grandson did it. I am totally bewildered by the thought process of having her on the team!!!

Based on ability shown here, the only reason to not take her would be fear she would outshine *several others.*  In this vid, the other two don't even exist.

I found myself watching Kash at least as often as I watched Tori, but then again I've always liked Kash.  Tori was really good!  I wasn't impressed by Tara at all.

Aside from Kat, the greatest travesty is that Savannah wasn’t cut. She had a horrible Training Camp and somehow still made the team. It’s never about the best dancer and/or or ambassador. It’s about who strikes Kellis ego the most.

Oh wow Tori is a lot better than I had thought. Sad she didn't make the team. Anyone know if she has tried out before? Or is Kelli trying to make her into next year's comeback girl?

I think Kelli really likes Savannah's look.  She really is pretty, I agree!  But plenty of people think Brennan and Hannah are pretty, too.  This is just odd Kelli favoritism, I think.

Well, I am happy Savvy made it, butt kissing or not.

To be honest, it is not that Brennan and Hannah did not butt kiss, they didn't butt kiss enough. Let's not kid ourselves, it is not like someone can be on the team without butt kissing.

Bridget, Hannah and Brennan didn't retroactively become Snake Plissken all of the sudden.

ITA - Kelli loves collecting new titles that she can add to the list of "we have DCCS who were ___________!" She somehow thinks it adds to the prestige of the world class group but in reality it's less a reflection of the DCC organization and more a reflection of how hard these girls are willing to work to achieve their goals.

Similarly, it seems like every year there's at least one person who is a good dancer without weight issues who should make the team but Kelli just doesn't like them for some reason and she keeps finding nitpicky reasons to criticize them. Sometimes it's someone she took into training camp because she got outvoted by the other judges during auditions.

On the flip side, she often decides that she likes someone's look so much that she takes them into TC despite their marked lack of dance ability and keeps hoping that they will somehow miraculously learn how to dance well in a few weeks. She was SO stuck on Meagan Flaherty because she decided at auditions that she looked like Julia Roberts. Meagan handled being cut, brought back, and cut again better than I would have, BUT she really shouldn't have made training camp her first year. If you had shown Kelli a video of Meagan dancing with her face and hair blurred out, she never would have made it past open auditions because she danced like a 12 year old in her first jazz class.
