This is extremely irresponsible and dangerous for her to be promoting to an audience. Disappointed that she is glorifiying over exercise and extreme under eating. 

In context, there were before/after photos and that was the description for the before and she had upped her calories and lowered exercise for the after and was still obviously in great shape. She was the one calling the before excessive restriction and exercise.

I personally think it's more responsible to be honest about the amount of effort that goes into a figure like hers than to pretend she's 'born that way'.

Hey guys, just a reminder, you can discuss the vaccine as long as it's related to DCC.

Yeah, looking at Rebecca's IG I cannot fathom them cutting her!

I don't know if all the vets are safe. I hope so for 3rd years on up. I would like Kat and Kristin to have the tenure they desire and leave DCC happy and content. I don't think any other senior vets are in danger, but you never know - last year the Hannah cut sure threw a curve ball. 

The second year vets, we don't have much to go on. I feel like I have no idea if anyone in that group is truly safe. Part of me wants Alora Rose to have this major comeback and prove everyone wrong .... am I alone on this? Yes, I probably am.

I also like Alora Rose! She is really what a cheerleader should be. Her Ultra career is basically what cheerleading will be in the 21th century. Alora Rose has a presence and is an asset for any organisation. She brings the X factor to the DCC.

Someone like Alora Rose is bound to have naysayers but they usually come around.

In that context it makes more sense and I agree/understand. I think being upfront about it is good, I just don't want over-exercise and restrictive/disordered eating to be framed in a positive light.

I would literally die to look like her. 

You know the videos where a person is copying a dancer or perhaps someone like Rachel who looks as fabulous at the end of the game as the beginning ..... and what they think they look like or the reality is hilarious, and it's absolutely NOTHING even coming close?  Yeah, I'm that person. My hair may look that good sashaying onto the field and by the end of the signature dance, they would carry me out on a dolly and my hair would be soaking wet and my mascara smeared down past my cheekbones......but my lipcolor would be on point 😉

Belated Introduction Post

Hello Primetimers,

I've posted on this forum in years past, but only been a reader/lurker throughout last season. But in the past week, I've been posting rather frequently, so I figured that I should introduce myself. I'm from San Diego, California (you probably figured that out). I work full-time as a ghostwriter (yes, that means I write content that is published under other people's names).

I have watched MTT since season 1. My current favorite cheerleaders to watch are Caroline, Ashlee, Jalyn, and Chandi. My retired favorites (from recent seasons) are Lacey and Heather. My opinions are based entirely on an untrained eye with absolutely no credibility or validity outside of my personal preference. I also have no insider information and I wouldn't recognize any of the rookies if they were sitting in my living room watching the show with me. I look forward to sharing my baseless, evidence-free opinions with you throughout this season's training camp.

Wow. Justice for Rachel W. There was so much judgement and it all proved to be #wrong.

Yes, and the nonchalant “the source is correct” and “Amanda” comments from Mr. “Manhattan” imply that 
 

1. They knew all along it wasn’t Rachel W. 
but …
2. Let her be labeled “anti-vax” anyways when the awkward fact is she hasn’t left … which means she probably ALREADY GOT THE VACCINE. Not exactly “throwing a hissy fit.”
 

Anyways, longtime lurker and first-time poster here! As you can probably tell my pick for point is Rachel W.!

I think her sister is getting married this weekend so I'm sure she's going home, or wherever the wedding's taking place. It's possible they have a couple extra days off from Training Camp for the holiday weekend, too.

The DCC are touted quite heavily to be role models. In a pandemic, what would role models do? One of them would be to meet the health and safety requirements and rules set by the NFL and/or DCC. Another one would be to not knowingly spread a disease to others that could cause long-term harm and consequences. The choice is everyone's to make for themselves, but they also have the easy choice to decide to not be a NFL cheerleader. 

Not electing to get the vaccine does not mean you automatically have Covid-19 😉 *

In order to stay in training camp they must have the vaccine. The choice is indeed personal and it can be quite daunting because of many health related and legal reasons tied to the vaccine's emergency use status. However it does not mean a TCC is not a role model because she decides for herself not to get the vaccine and elects to leave. Her reasoning is no one's business but her own and she should not be judged because of it. 

* Those who are not vaccinated are encouraged to continue following the guidelines, including masks, frequent handwashing and social distancing.

Now I am chairperson of the Claire fan club but those turns weren't great. She wasn't on releve and put her foot down on her final pirouette.

However, it shows how versatile a dancer she is as it looks more of a sassy, contemporary routine this year instead of a softer lyrical style she did last year.

If the bottom picture is of them flailing their arms & saying, “Heeyyy”…that is a dance move I can sure do!!! Minus the head toss, my big head would definitely knock me off balance…Just saying!

Yes. Thank you. 

Those who choose to follow their own independent thinking instead of just going along with the crowd or succumbing to peer pressure, especially when it means giving up something you love and have worked hard for are role models for those of us who respect the individual liberties afforded to us all. I applaud their courage and sacrifice and wish them all the best in finding new endeavors to enrich their lives and future.

Because when you look at the actual picture it looks like there is a "blurb" of either a vet or tcc on their hands and knees (hard to tell because I see blue shorts but it could be a vet or tcc because they are all wearing blue shorts with either pink or blue strips depending on vet or tcc)  UNDER A TABLE (or what looks like a table) with someone else sitting on the table and that vet or tcc in a questionable pose whilst on their hands and knees (which I won't say because it is pretty explicit and I am pretty sure the mods will give me a slap on the wrist if I said it)  so I had to zoom in to see it closer. 

 

As for Kat, if you look at that pic I posted, Kelli is in the blue top and next to her is Judy  then to our right of her is someone with one hand tucking in their hair and the person has hair similar to Kat so that is either Kat or someone else.

Maybe?!? But I can't see them ever demoting Lexie from GL. Also, I don't think they would promote Erin to GL without her ever being a 2GL, especially not when other women in her year have 2GL experience

A few girls have leap frogged to 1st leader without getting any 2gl experience over the years.

 

I doubt Kelli fully "follows" her own rules on how DCC should and do things. She promotes double standards on national tv the best ....

“ETA: I wasn't asking the question back then (or now) to attack or challenge, but because I wanted to see it formyself. That label, just like the "racist" label is so damaging, it can absolutely destroy a person's reputation andprospects, so I need to see some evidence before I'm willingto get on board.”

- one of the older “insiders” posted about the tweets, by the time I went to look it was private. I figured it had to do with same sex marriage because I also read that Rachel had an issue with Janelle.

- what I did see with my own eyes were the Halloween pictures. Then to hear the excuses “it’s not blackface, it’s brown.” Etc.

- as a person of color - I don’t fool with any of that. 
 

- the organization has been quick to get rid of anyone with a scent of possible scandal. Rachel W seems to get a pass for her Miss America thing. 
 

I figured her to the anti-vaxxer and I don’t think I will ever be a fan

I'm trying to decide what to think on the new training camp uniforms... I find one set rather awkward-looking and not particularly flattering (the one with the high neckline). And the top from the other set looks just like a sports bra....  I have seen nicer training camp attire tops that looked much better over the years.

I’ve seen those training tops before. I could’ve sworn they used that top a few years ago but the bottom was all pink or blue but had a white cross on their private parts maybe it’s an upgraded version of it …. Maybe the bottom was for a different top i think I need to rewatch what season it was in.

I’d probably swap out Kylie or Ava for Rebecca and have her on the team. Could totally see her in the uniform. 
 

im really routing for Tori, Madeline S, Jordann and KayDianna.

Probably just coincidence but Amanda was a GSW dancer and then cut from TC. And Kya was a Utah Jazz dancer and then cut from TC. I was surprised to see this.
The only other TCC that was a former pro team dancer I know of is Tori (Mavs). 
Any others left that aren't vets?

Also, where are all our Allen American Ice Angels and Dallas Ice Stars?
I miss round 1-3 of auditions 😕

Apologies as I think this was said further up, Ashley is a Dolphins cheerleader, I’ve seen another TCC image similar to above with her headshot being her wearing her Dolphins uniform/top

Nope, Whitney Islieb committed a far bigger transgression on a national scale and completely got a pass, and even a kind of slight nod to it on the show with her “I know what I did was wrong, but I didn’t know it AT THE TIME,” cutaway, leaving the implication that the problem wasn’t that she wore blackface, but that it was published on social media. Cassie was kept on despite an incident on a USO tour that basically put a stop to the overseas trips. Paige dated a player. Jenna got away with the Dak Prescott thing the first time, she didn’t get any punishment until she was ordered to stop and got busted a second time, and even then the show presented it as she was being punished for not stopping Holly from drinking and partying.

Allegedly CT was out partying until the wee hours and was hungover/late the next morning. 

Rachel’s choice of costume was bad but she did not deliberately change the color of her skin for the costume. She has been perpetually tan from day one. Still it was a bad choice. I believe she owned it and apologized.

I do think it’s a load of BS though that girls whose personal photos were compromised have been held back from GL and All Star status.

I agree-yes it was a poor costume choice but she didn’t change her skin color. I saw the photo before she took it down and I cringed. But she was no more tan than usual. Not saying that this behavior isn’t problematic, but the Whitney isleib situation was unacceptable and much worse in my opinion. 
 

isnt Whitney now married to a person of color or am I dreaming?
