MyFavShows April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 (edited) I finally watched the videos of the swimsuit show. Snark alert, but at least I'll do it all in one post ;). Amy T clearly the biggest - if anyone should be cut for weight/size it should be her. From the waist down she looks like a normal person in their late 20's/early 30's, not a DCC. Caila definitely not as big as she has been photographing lately - but she's certainly looked much more fit and thin in the past. It could go either way with her at auditions. Raylee softer and bigger than I thought. Jenn K. kind of soft and bigger in the middle like the photos have been showing. I don't think either of these are cut-worthy situations though. Jax has extremely short legs compared to her torso and her upper thighs are on the big side. She must really be able to dance well cause I don't get how she made the squad in the first place w/ a figure like that. Danielle looked fine. Kat looked too thin. Rookie Amy is built like a boy, and rookie Megan is kind of masculinely built too, but not as bad as I thought. The rest of them looked amazing - like flawlessly amazing - which IMO is how a DCC should look. Oh - and I forgot - I thought Melissa looked kind of big too.

GAgirl April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 I'm thinking they need to cut Caila unless she can lose the weight. I've loved her in the past, but when I clicked on her video shoot on Twitter I didn't know who it was. I was actually shocked when I realized it was Caila. It's so weird that she looked fine to me during the fashion show, but posing sideways just revealed everything. Link to comment

I'm sure 99% of men would stil find her smoking hot though. Edited April 19, 2016 by MyFavShows Link to comment
LaurenBrook April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 Hmm...I guess you guys are right. She was thinner last year. I really didn't notice her looking 'heavier' until I went back to some of the swimsuit fashion show photos from last year: https://www.instagram.com/p/0xwsWxDmVe/?taken-by=cailamichelle95 Or maybe it's still angle?? Ahhh I refuse to believe she is too out of shape to make it back :( :( Link to comment
GAgirl April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 I would be surprised if they didn't give her at least a warning. But seeing as how she apparently got those her rookie year, she might just be another Hannah. Link to comment
Guest April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 (edited) In comparison to Hannah, I don't think she looks big. I think it's just that lower tummy pooch that's haunting her right now. Melissa's ass is hanging out the bottom of that pink bikini in the twitter video and I don't think that bikini is a "cheeky" one. eta: caila's thighs look big...just rewatched the twitter vid.

LadyMsJay April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 Does anyone think that perhaps K&J don't do the weight warnings on purpose so they can save it for tv? No. They certainly don't do it for TV. They give several without us knowing. Link to comment
bigskygirl April 19, 2016 Author Share April 19, 2016 They have given out weight warnings during the season. Hannah got weight warnings during her rookie year. I also believe the girls' weight are posted in the locker room. Going to be interesting at finals. Link to comment
LaurenBrook April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 This is what is great about this forum, everyone has different opinions of what is attractive. I do have to respectfully disagree with some of this though. I have "fuller" dancer legs and I can guarantee you that men LOVE Amy T's curves! She's not the typical stick thin/boy body DCC. How could you not want to look like this on a runway? https://twitter.com/DCCheerleaders/status/722250766426071040 I think Caila does look slightly bigger this year but she is really beautiful. I think she can definitely get that under control before tryouts. https://twitter.com/DCC_Caila/status/721868086144466944 I really like Jennifer K's look. She was absolutely stunning in the jungle picture. I love Simone and Stephanie's unique looks. I hope they both make it back. I do agree though that Kat is way too thin and not attractive. Like Kitty Carter said to Colby, eat a cheeseburger (a number of them). Oh, I agree with pretty much everything you said! I love Amy T's look!! I think she looks super fit and her face is just wow! I just meant that by DCC standards, they tend to love the twigs. But I agree that few men would look at Amy and go, "nah" LOL I'm surprised that they don't do at least a few high waisted swim suits. Those are kind of back in style and it would probably look nicer on the girls who are fit but have more of the lower belly pooch (Caila). And that pooch - honestly, that could be from all those dang Suja juices they ingest before going. Some people's bodies freak out with switching to a diet like that. 1 Link to comment

Some people's bodies freak out with switching to a diet like that. See, that's what I think is exactly the problem for Jenn K and Caila and any of the others who people are scrutinizing here. They're thinnnn girls and most of them obviously aren't slackers in fitness. I have to think that they're retaining water or just having a general dietary crisis from the preparation they've been doing for the calendar shoot. I think they'll all look a lot more even and "perfect" in a few weeks at auditions...unless they really are just out of shape (which I highly doubt). 1 Link to comment

Ahhh I refuse to believe she is too out of shape to make it back :( :( She looks like an Amazon (compliment!). It's very stunning ... but in most of the swimsuit pictures, she just looks big and out of shape. It's really not flattering. Kelli posted one of her showering on the beach and it was not a good shot. Surprised Kelli didn't think she looked too "fat" to put that picture up Link to comment
iloveit April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 I am about to faint at the thought of all of these girls being called big, even by DCC standards!!! Maybe Caila but I am not seeing it in anyone else like Jen K or Raylee, or Melissa. To each their own and I know no one is calling them actually fat, but I just do not see it. I think they look great and I don't think DCC should push the standard too far. 1 Link to comment
Guest April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 I just think some of the girls are built differently and that makes them look "heavy" but they really aren't. I definitely don't think Jenn K looks heavy at all. Caila looked good in the fashion show but from the side she looks really different in that twitter video Kelli posted. Link to comment

I would be enthralled if Kelli was starting to ease up on the crazy standard. I would give my right arm to look like any of these girls, even on their 'worst' day lol Link to comment

tobeyoungagain April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 Melissa is really pretty but I can see why some people may think she's a bit thick. She definitely doesn't look "skinny" and she has very strong legs (and sometimes cankles depending on the angle of picture). Link to comment

Harrythecat April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 Here is the thing about Calia.....did any of us think the vets who got cut at try outs were heavy during the swim suit shoot....NO.....so that is what is hard. I mean Alex Hermes looked amazing and a few weeks later she was done. So hence the reason I think we are all paying more attention to Calia. Link to comment

Bailey3606 April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 Caila got bigger all around: arms, thighs, and stomach. Crazy. She always appeared to be naturally skinny to me during her rookie year. Regarding Amy T.... She looks the exact same to me as she did at auditions. She's so smart, has a pretty face, fun personality, and great dance technique.... I honestly don't see them cutting her! I love Kat, Jax, Bess, and Claire but it seems like I'm the minority here haha Link to comment

I mean Alex Hermes looked amazing and a few weeks later she was done. So hence the reason I think we are all paying more attention to Calia. This is only true some of the time.

Claire is so, so pretty - I bet she will make it into calendar. Kat's personality I adore and Bess has rapidly become one of my favorites recently. She is hilarious and is just such a classic beauty. This is only true some of the time. I thought Breelan looked alarmingly soft during the swimsuit shoot last year and was honestly expecting her to get cut. It's just a case-by-case thing. And yes to this - I thought Breelan (and even Ashley Pro in some shots) looked softer at swimsuit fittings but was like meh, it's all angles. Edited April 20, 2016 by LaurenBrook Link to comment
Guest April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 I like how they call the girls "soft" so that they won't get in trouble for saying they look fatter. Link to comment
ByTor April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 I didn't think "soft" was a nice way of saying "fat", I thought it implied not as toned as they should be. Link to comment
MyFavShows April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 I think big and soft are two different things. "Soft" is jiggling and lack of muscle tone in areas like the stomach, legs and upper arms - also rolls and creases when bending slightly at the waist or muffin top bumps when wearing anything tight fitting. Big is just being larger than what a DCC should be for your height - you can be very tone and fit and still have this issue (like Vivian in season 8). I actually think soft is worse than big cause you can't be out there jiggling or having rolls of fat forming when kicking and dancing in that tiny uniform cause it just looks gross - like that footage of Breelan last year at auditions :/. Breelan was nowhere near big, but she was very soft. Ashely P., Alex Hermes - those two were big. Hannah was kind of both, even though her legs and arms were still tiny. I don't think any of the DCC vets and TCC that were cut over the years for being soft or big were ever anywhere even remotely close to being "fat" or overweight. There is just a very high standard for fitness and small size for the DCC. 1 Link to comment
Guest April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 The thing that Kelli seems to forget is that all girls have rolls when they bend over. I get that they have to be hard on vets, but if they like them and want to see them back shouldn't they get a chance to lose weight? The girls didn't have much of an offseason this year, they did a lot of appearances from the last game until the swim suit shoot. Now they have less than a month until Auditions. Not much time to gain weight. Link to comment

The girls didn't have much of an offseason this year, they did a lot of appearances from the last game until the swim suit shoot. Now they have less than a month until Auditions. Not much time to gain weight. Seriously even if you have zero fat in the mid section, when you bend certain ways, if nothing else, your skin has to go somewhere. This can mean what looks like a fold or roll. Link to comment
bigskygirl April 20, 2016 Author Share April 20, 2016 Melissa did a live facebook chat this morning. It looks like she is not going back to school. She is doing an internship at a local children's hospital. She is working on mechanical testing for orthopedic surgeons. I guess the hospital is one of the places the cheerleaders visit.

bigskygirl April 20, 2016 Author Share April 20, 2016 I agree. I enjoyed listening to her answer questions. She is hoping to be hired full time at the hospital.

cgloss April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if Jinelle got the swimsuit cover. She's very toned and very photogenic. And obviously Kelli and Judy love her shots, judging from how many they picked for the sideline calendar. Link to comment

bigskygirl April 20, 2016 Author Share April 20, 2016 I do not know if a girl gets to be cover girl twice. Danielle was last year girl. I think Ashton, Abigail, Lauren, and Samantha have been chosen to be the cover girl. I sent a tweet to Judy asking her if the fans will be allowed to vote for the cover girl again since we have been able to vote the last few years. Link to comment
