Her appearances are probably more limited than some of the other gals, but I'm sure that's the case every year for a variety of women for a variety of reasons. She's pretty and seems to get the job done well enough! Morgan was my last weaker standout and she got cut for her second season, so Yuko must be doing something right. She might have fabulous kicks? I forgot about kicks this year. Christina looked like she made a point to show flexibility in her solo, so maybe we will get less whining this time around. 5 Link to comment

I don't know...i'll definitely be interested to see how they mention it. I mean, Raylee was basically invisible after the 'wrong outfit' issue her first TC. it's not like Jasmine getting cut as an upper vet...people were always invested in her story because she was featured so much. i think they could just brush over her cut and a lot of ppl would not notice she is gone (i hate saying that about ANYone!!) But Allie and little Heather were both featured just last year - Allie in particular kind of stood out because she was bff with Holly then and they had that scene where they were talking about feeling like sisters, rooming together, etc. it will probably come down to whether they want to talk about Weight this season. They kind of pick and choose what year to make it an issue. Like Holly and Kashara were called out for it, but last summer they never showed Kelli telling Allie she needed to lose 10 pounds ASAP (which apparently she did...though unfortunately it came back). I forget,are any new TCs borderline for weight? if so they may talk about weight this year. we shall seeeeeee. Esp if some vets who DID make it back are still being carefully watched for weight... 1 Link to comment

LaurenBrook May 16, 2017 Share May 16, 2017 Honestly, Erica is one of the most photogenic girls they've EVER had on the squad. Does she ever take a bad picture? she can even make weird poses look pretty! I love Maggie's expressions! Kashara looks absolutely perfect and I love Khalyn too. Why are there not more pics of her on game day? her smile is gorgeous! Kalyssa is one of the most photogenic new girls. Celinda is growing on me. she looks good this year. 8 Link to comment

This is just one clip and apparently in freezing weather at that, but she really fades here. I don't know who decided to put her right behind Jenna (i'm guessing it was due to height), but that's a bad contrast for Yuko. I then compared her only to Milan, and again I thought Yuko paled in comparison. She seems like a nice, pleasant person however, so hopefully she can get some pop. ETA: I just read the part about Kelli telling Allie to lose 10 pounds asap. I'm curious as to what Kelli's definition of ASAP is because that's a lot of weight to lose in a short amount of time if you're doing it in a safe way. Edited May 16, 2017 by Jess14 2 Link to comment

I'm similar in height to Allie, probably a bit shorter and I have a smaller frame than her, but losing 10 pounds would be a feat, especially in a short amount of time. I lost 20 pounds once (went from around 120 to 100), but that took months and was not at all healthy. I was only eating like 1000 calories a day and working out a lot. My doctor was sounding the alarm, so I cannot imagine her losing 10 pounds in a really short amount of time and being healthy. Link to comment

Because they went out to a concert after a cut night? No one has said for sure why they were cut, but there has been speculation. I think the going out to the concert discussion did not have to do with the cut vets - it was in regards to a post a TCC made. She went to a Chris Brown concert and posted a picture of it when she made training camp for whatever reason. Link to comment

I think that's a key point that's missing for those who are bewildered by her position on the team... she doesn't need to be up to the level of the rest of the team. She needs to be the best well rounded Asian representative on the team. The NFL is trying to expand their market into Asia and DCC is the most prominent "fan experience" marketing tool they have. To keep her spot she just needs to be the best rep for the Asian market that shows up to auditions. I'm not a die hard fan of hers but she looks fine in that clip and she's always so happy that it's contagious. 4 Link to comment

Again - I don't think Kelli is always serious about someone legit losing 10 exact pounds. When she says stuff like "you are 10 pounds heavier than our cheerleaders your height" it's her way of saying - you are heavier than what we want. it shows. work on that. IIRC Courtney Danielle was like 11 pounds heavier than other short girls, lost 8, and kelli was thrilled. if someone lost 4 pounds but 'jiggled' less, I think Kelli would be thrilled/content, not forcing them to hit a certain number just 'cause. We've also seen them let girls go who would need to go about it dangerously (like the Martinez girl from an early season, Liz Reuter, etc.) 4 Link to comment

And then if you cut booze and any kind of sugar drink completely, eat "lean and green" etc. I imagine it could be done without too much suffering. I think it can be really challenging for many younger women to embrace clean eating, take the time for meal prep, etc., and instead they just cut way back on the junk they're already eating down to nothing. I wish they had real nutrition classes and not just the soda gives you cellulite bullshit. For women who are truly dedicated and passionate about their health and their bodies, it doesn't seem too unreasonable. I think some want to have their cake and eat it too, and genetics can just be a bitch. I don't think Kelli harps about the weight for the gals who take the more bodybuilder, muscular approach like Kelli Q and Stephanie. They probably weigh more and eat more but muscle definition is clear. So, I'm gonna go make some eggs and a protein shake! LOL. 3 Link to comment

I would love to know if she was one of the ones who fluctuated through the year. While I don't believe that Kelli wants the girls to do anything dangerous, I don't really buy that she's that concerned with how the girls lose weight, just that they do so and look good in the uniform. Im not calling her evil or bashing her for that either because from the people who I know who work or have worked in the dance industry and similar fields, that's the way it goes. The girls know going in that the DCCs have a tiny uniforms. It is what it is. With that said, Im not going to pretend like losing a ton of weight in a short time span (likely with quick fixes) is healthy or sustainable. 3 Link to comment

kalibean May 16, 2017 Share May 16, 2017 (edited) My Fit Foods was at least real food that was nutrient dense. They went out of business in Dallas, but Snap Kitchen is holding strong. Weight Watchers does a good job of this I think. For XX points, you can have a grilled chicken breast, a sweet potato and broccoli. For the same points, you can eat 3/4 of a Snickers. Doing a visual demonstration and making the food look good creates at least some motivation to meal plan. Genetics and prayers don't last but so long. Anyway, nutrition. They need to do more and do better. Edited May 16, 2017 by kalibean Link to comment
