I would love to hear Judy's ideas about hair and makeup because I bet dollars to donuts they both do not agree on everything when it comes to the girls. I do remember Kelli saying last year Miss Kitty had a disagreement off camera when it came to a certain DCC Candidate. I wished they would have shown it. Was it over Cersten only doing 1 year of DCC and possibly going to med school? It was a deleted scene that wasn't shown on MTT. 1 Link to comment

Either they missed her name on the other years or she left and came back for 2 years. I thought she was a DCC for the same 5 years Kelli was. Hopefully they did that on accident bc she a bitch. Dislike so much. On 6/9/2017 at 7:41 AM, LaurenBrook said: Ok, K&J, I see you!!!

Or was it the dark haired girl they gave boots to? Can't think of her name. Link to comment

missmansfield July 18, 2017 Share July 18, 2017 (edited) I wish they would not focus on someone who is old trying out for the team. I get that she thinks she is so great for doing it but it would be nice to focus on girls who actually DO have a chance. On 6/28/2017 at 10:09 AM, HowdeeDo said: It's a reality show, but not /that/ kind of reality show. Watch Houseives if you want your staged cat fights. I don't think there's really enough tension to film anyway that would be interesting for TV. There's just no way Kelli's going to stray far from the good image they portray already. I totally agree. A big part of why I enjoy the show so much is because they do NOT have catfights. It is pleasant and refreshing to have a show that features beautiful, talented and smart ladies who behave nicely!

Cappuccinagina August 4, 2017 Share August 4, 2017 (edited) As a former dancer, I've had super nice instructors and really blunt ones. Kitty's critiques wouldn't faze me at all. I understand her critiques--she WANTS the dancers to do well, and K & J aren't there for anyone's feelings. The DCC are a business of entertainment. Business isn't kind--she's just keeping it real! I realize those who haven't had that type of instructor find her ways to be too brash (if that came across as condescending, I wasn't trying to be! ? I also feel like anyone who goes to her prep classes gets a low key/high key if the dancer is that BEYOND recommendation to the DCC judges. Anything Kitty tells those dancers at the prep classes should be treated as gold and audition make-or-break advice. Edited August 4, 2017 by Cappuccinagina Still can't spell 6 Link to comment
pizzaislife August 4, 2017 Share August 4, 2017 I would have loved to have had a kitty. At least she gives you real feedback you can work with. Nothing worse than getting a scorecard thats full of great jobs and nice and then get ranked low. They always said the more they can critique and nitpick, the better they think you are. 6 Link to comment
Nancybeth August 10, 2017 Share August 10, 2017 It would be one thing if Kitty was just giving all this harsh feedback and insulting girls and then letting them walk out the door. But it seems like she genuinely works with them to take her feedback and improve. There have been a couple instances of her helping someone re-do a solo at the last minute, or provide specific, concrete suggestions on costumes and hair. If she had let Vivian walk in there with the tin man solo, Vivian NEVER would have made training camp. Even the little things, like fixing one move, she will demonstrate and then praise the dancer when they give her what she's looking for. 3 Link to comment

Seriously, how she came up with it I do not know. Not a big fan of Kitty. But I do believe if you catch her eye, good or bad, and it gets whispered into J&K ears it will affect your outcome with the squad. The vet Kelli auditioned 4 times, and during one season when K was talking about top dancers or something, a clip of Kelli was shown with her doing awesome moves, but she didn't make it into finals. On the 4th time, K asked why she didn't notice her for 4 years. I think if Kelli had made herself known quite loudly to Kitty, it would have been brought to the attention of the judges to watch this one. Holly is a fab dancer, and I wonder if she is a good teacher. Opening a studio would be a great source of income for her. Last year's show group dancers were the best ever, and it was because of Holly and the routines created for her talent. 1 Link to comment

We know the entire Cowboys org earns probably in the billions after you factor merchandising, etc. However, like with most businesses, if one entity is a financial drain, most likely the others won't lose revenue to cover it. DCC doesn't make money, or at least cover its own expenses, it's gone. 1 Link to comment
bigskygirl August 21, 2017 Author Share August 21, 2017 The football team brings in most of the money. Yes, the cheerleaders bring in money, but the players are the ones who draws the attention to the Cowboys Organization. I am not saying the cheerleaders are not important, but the organization can and will survive with or without them. I do remember one year when Kelli was saying the sideline calendar was making more money than the swimsuit calendar. I have no idea if this trend is continuing, but the costs to keep the DCC organization running is probably not getting any cheaper. And yes, the DCC budget is set by how much revenue they bring in aka a totally different separate budget than the football team has. Link to comment
RazzleberryPie August 21, 2017 Share August 21, 2017 I think there is a lot of misconception that all the money earned by the Cowboys organization goes into one big pot, and they share equally like a family. So the cheerleaders should get some of the players money, or merchandise money, or fitness club money, etc. But it doesn't work that way in business. Successful businesses aren't going to rob Peter to pay Paul. Instead, they're going to get rid of Paul, and find more Peters who make money. The Dallas Cowboys would survive and thrive without the cheerleaders (God forbid for our sake), but they have zero purpose without the football players, and even most of them are interchangable, and ultimately replaceable. 4 Link to comment

I actually paused it to read it because the email was clear as day and it was from Kitty, totally praising Kelli and talking about how great she was. So yes, Kitty most definitely gets in their ear!

If they can't take constructive criticism from Kitty, they will never handle some of the stuff fans and haters throw at them. Kitty tries to thwart as much as she can. 2 Link to comment
