dreamcatcher October 28, 2017 Share October 28, 2017 On 10/26/2017 at 10:46 PM, California Girl said: Based on the discussion above I would be certain of only six retirements, Amy L. (married and running a business), Cersten (for medical school), Jenna (because she's put in her time), Jinelle (ditto), Khalyn (because of injuries), and Simone (married and injuries). If the Cowboys win the Super Bowl this year then I anticipate that many more of the women will want to leave on that high note and retire. I recognize that Alexandria had to depart for personal reasons, and I admire her putting family first, but this has certainly been a dysfunctional start to the training camp/season for many unexpected reasons. Finally, I like Kalyssa's personality and ability, but I worry a bit about her maturity. Her Instagram and socializing, as reported on here, make me wonder if she will drift toward the self-absorbed, without the grounding that family has given someone like Tasha. Well I saw a picture with Jenna saying "surrounding yourself with those who are true" which reminded me of a picture Holly has posted... I guess Jenna found her next partner in crime. 3 hours ago, Terri said: She lived in a small town.. However afforded all the expenses she needed to make DCC. Trainers, tans, dentists.

That's also the story Kalyssa is selling but there's no way a 20 year old would afford all these prep classes, a huge apartment without a roommate and everything else in between without help from her parents. Most of these girls have support so I don't see why Holly should be the only one criticized for it. I'm sad to see Alexandria go, but at least she had a good reason. Taryn is probably going to burn down the stadium AND the star. 2 Link to comment
Runnergrl37 October 28, 2017 Share October 28, 2017 (edited) I'm a loyal fan of this show (like all of us are) and this season will go down as my least favorite for one reason: the exclusion of Ericas departure. Yes, they absolutely owe it to us to let us know what happened. This is a reality show and I don't give a shit about privacy. DCC owes so much to this reality show (made them even more well known, Kelli is a millionaire now thanks to the show) and it's a damn slap in the face to the fans to hide her departure. I suspect old windbag Jerry and Skeletor aka Charlottle didn't want to tarnish "the brand" by *gasp* making it known that a cheerleader was drinking a beer. I'm pissed and they owe us. And yes, get rid of Ramos and keep Melissa away. Both suck. Edited October 28, 2017 by Runnergrl37 22 Link to comment

dreamcatcher October 28, 2017 Share October 28, 2017 And I don't even think it's a bad thing! At that age they are still in junior (or entry level) positions which don't pay that well, plus they can't pick up a side gig or extra hours so of course they need help. I'm not sure why it's a bad thing for parents to help out their kids-not spoiling them of course- if they have the means to. Maybe that's a cultural thing though. 4 Link to comment

First of all, I feel bad that Raylee, Allie and Heather were cut cause they weren't veteran ready or worthy or whatever the phrase is. Well, gee I don't think two fellow vets fraternizing/drinking/whatever with football players and getting away with it sets a good example. But they weren't cut or advised not to try out again. Instead you've got 3 girls who worked their buns off to try out again, who followed the rules and what happens??? Then you have Erica who broke the rules and yes she was released, but we aren't going to talk about it cause she supposedly got a lawyer. How is it girls who break the rules and their contracts are allowed to get lawyered up? I'm not saying we need to bring her on tv and throw stones at her, but something could have been said. I also feel really, really bad for Taryn. She works her a** off to get thisclose to making the team, and then how many girls are injured or have to leave or just aren't very good? They should have kept her, Celinda and ...........drats! I can't remember the other gal's name:( Good things this year: Kashara, Lacey and Jinelle getting their chance to show they can lead. Heather being named as assistant GL in her second year. Maggie, Robin, Tasha, Stephanie showing what they are capable of.
