Hello.  I know what you want.  I can't provide that right now.  They're on to me.  There are others.  Gooodbye. For now.

From this Marketing Managers opinion, the DCC don't realise the importance of social media. They give it to interns or family to look after, who obviously have no idea. Just because everyone uses soci

I’m glad she let us know she was mature, brave and not at all selfish in her decision to take a break. I think she probably doesn’t realize how awkwardly worded that is and doesn’t realize it sounds l

What was the scoop that later came out about Kelsi’s experience?

Wow! SleepyJean! I really enjoyed this post and had a fun time reading all those old articles written by DCC's. But now I'm curious about the inner conflict you said Kelsi Reich later wrote about before turning her back on the whole experience. I was not aware of this story. Could you give me the Cliff Notes version of that story or point me to where I could read where she wrote about this? It sounds very interesting!

Kelsi was one of the young ones who joined the team at age 18 and remained on the squad for 4 years. Some time after retirement, she published a blog where she reflected on her time on the team.

She talked about her faith a lot. She is a devout Christian, and spent those five DCC years reading her Bible before every game, leading Bible study on USO tours, and praying before every performance. She pretended like the "sexy" aspect of the DCC wasn't a thing. Or wasn't a thing that applied to her in particular. She told herself that she was just sharing her talent and her love of dance to raise people's spirits, to spread happiness. She prayed that none of the football fans were looking at her with lust in their hearts.

I wish I had saved it. Maybe one of the OGs here did. It wasn't dramatic. She didn't denounce the team or anything like that. She mentioned a few things like being on weight watch all the time, and being told to keep her bible verses to herself. (IIRC she used to put Bible verses when she signed autographs, but don't quote me on that.)

Looking back, she seemed to come to the understanding that the DCC experience was in conflict with her personal and religious values. She realized that she wanted to live a more faith-centered life and the time she was a DCC she put a lot of focus on the wrong things. She didn't seem ashamed of it, and I don't think she hides it, she was just SO not about that anymore. It was another time, another life, another planet. (I think she wrote this 2-3 years after retirement.)

I think she is still friendly with some of of her teammates, but to my knowledge she has never returned to Dallas to participate in any of the alumni events.

Are we sure Erin Fisher is one of the tcc? Marissa doesn’t follow her.  
If DCC were chosen based on how many current and former vets follow on IG it would look like this right now 

TorI, Ashlinn, Madeline, Ashley, Bre, Cailey, Amanda, Kleine, Kylie, Jordann, Rebecca, Christina

Her picture was on the judges sheet

I know this is the area for DCC auditions, but while we wait (& I’m really NOT sitting here refreshing this page every 15 minutes, hoping for ANY news on TC… 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️😆) BUT, at a quick glance, I saw this thumbnail photo at the bottom of this page & thought this was Kitty Carter with Hugh Jackman on the beach somewhere…

*whispering to myself…”just shut down your laptop, you nerd…”

I love Kelsey but unfortunately she was not a strong dancer. I'm sure her skills have declined since being retired too. They have beautiful girls on team already, like Dani and Rachel W.

I don’t know why she thought she would make it back. TPTB don’t seem to be fans of allowing the girls to return after a hiatus. Victoria, of course, would be the exception. Anyway, I agree with what someone said above — that Kelsey was probably looking to regain some of that DCC celebrity. Does she have a job or is she a full-time influencer? I hope they show the judges’ discussion about her.

The rumors about Sydney are just gross.

If it is true, it speaks to her character, but it's none of my business.
If it isn't true, then what's being done to her is truly disgusting.

But let me get this straight, we're supposed to believe:

1. Her strategy for catching this man was to follow him to Dallas and then audition for a training process and a job that would give her no time to see him.
"Hey girl, I snuck out. Wanna meet up?"
"Babe...you know I have rehearsal five nights a week and sometimes on Saturday."

2. A job that is attached to a tv show that would shine a spotlight on her and draw attention to her personal business.

3. A job that - were she caught - would very likely televise it when Kelli gives her the boot.


We're also supposed to believe:
4. Kelli didn't know about this. Shelly didn't tell her. Alumni didn't tell her. Nothing came up when her AFC references were checked.

5. Or Kelli DID know about this, and put her on the team anyway. Because Sydney is that amazing. "Hey you haven't snagged him yet, so it's not fraternization, amiright? wink wink."

Make it make sense.

People are really out here on reddit or wherever, talking about this woman like they are spitting facts when I bet they don't know any of people involved. And other people listening to it like "Well, I never liked her" as if there is any evidence for this, and then going on to repeat it on IG or Facebook.

Note: this post is not to be construed as an attack on this forum or anyone on it, but the internet really is cancer.

I’m so upset Kelsey didn’t make it back she was one of my faves! I’m over Kelli and Judy

Kelsey also said in her IG Q&A she is still going to Jenn's classes.

Kelsey L., if you read this, please reaudition next year, even if Victoria does. I mean, who wouldn't watch this? Two retired vets vying for a spot? I would watch this in all it's MTT glory. I would see Victoria and the hair pulling, Kelli and the Victoria defending, words like power, projection, and legacy would be thrown around, then there would be intermittent sound bites from both Judy and Melissa that Kelsey needs to prove herself to earn her spot back, and Victoria is looking good and needed that year to refresh. And there may be some tears, and hopefully no more mention of "50 yards" because that was so already five years ago.
 
I am pretty sure just about all of Primetimer would be hoping it would be KO in your Kelsey L. favor!

Kelsey - you got all year to prep! Go make it happen! We are rooting for you!

Also, go back to dark brown/black for auditions to make your eyes pop before Marshall weighs in with his own sound bite.

Wow, just, wow. This could have gone so many ways - she's beyond gorgeous, and definitely a crowd favorite. In a lot of ways, it does them good to have her back as a DCC for image and promotion. But her story dragged out over several seasons- what 4 attempts to become a DCC? I would say they didn't want to rehash the same stuff on MTT so they cut it off early, but I have become cyncial and I feel like they are saving the "vet that returns after a break and makes the team - which no one else has done in the past 2 decades!" storyline for Victoria.
Sorry, Kelsey. I would have enjoyed having you back.

I would have loved to have Kelsey back on the team. She is stunning and a total sweetheart.

I would legit throw my TV into a river if it ever comes to Kelsey being kept off while Victoria is welcomed back with open arms. 😂

There's NO WAY they'd get away with that ... surely LOL.

Do group leaders always move up the ranks in order? For example, last year it was Maddie (1), Tess (2), Lexie (3), Gina (4), Ashlee (1), Rachel W (2), Amber (3), Caroline (4). Based off previous years, will it likely be Lexie (1), Gina (2), Ashlee (3), Rachel W (4), Amber (1), Caroline (2)?

I think Gina is going to end up as G1.

Has it been announced if there’s to be a show this year? Have the NFL announced if the cheer teams can be on the field or not this year? 

One of the judges said mid August for the show !!! And nothing has been released to the public abt Cheer teams ect being on the field !! Maybe the teams themselves know

So much whiteness.

It is interesting that looking at the TCC roster there are actually 6 visible minorities which I think is the same number as last year which we all applauded (there may be others? I don't want to guess lol). But everyone is tanned so much they look the same color and the majority of the white girls are blonde so the group of TCCs look similar to previous years. And of course no diversity in hair style except Ashley. 

Minority TCC:

  • Kelee
  • Kya
  • Ashley
  • Cailey
  • KayDianna
  • Tyra

Their diversity 100% could be better though

Thank goodness for Ashley (?) for bringing a different hair style! I really hope they don’t ask her to get extensions or to use a wavy, dark hairpiece. 
 

One thing Christina and Amy did well was cute, shorter hair, tho Christina’s was cutest before the makeover. I like long, luxe, wavy hair as much as the next lady but variety is the spice of life and makes a better bouquet or whatever Kelli would say when positioning gingers vs. brunettes vs. blondes.

Their diversity is by far better than it has been in recent years.  Ashlee, Elli, Jada, Darian, Kristin, Kat, Armani, Chandi, Lisa, Rachel + the TCCs.  If they all make the team that’s a way more diverse team.

Girls with shorter hair have always stood out for me, in a good way - Rachel A, Amy, Christina, Audition Amy, Ann Lux and Teri from years back, etc. wish they had more of them!

Training camp is being done at the stadium yesterday Claire posted abt her Tyra and Jensen driving 45 mins from their place to the stadium for practice 

Ok so even on non-filming nights they are at the stadium on the field? I wasn't sure if there was a studio or something there or if they've installed mirrors (useful when learning choreo).
