I don't think in the application it is a requirement. Here is from FAQ from the audition process: Is being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader a full-time job? No, most Cheerleaders hold part-time or full-time jobs or attend college. So it is NOT a requirement but most do have a job or attend college. I think they want to get away from the perception that cheerleaders only talents are to shake their T & A's! ok. I will edit my earlier statement.

Every time a candidate gets criticized for her weight, I can see the dreaded cycle of poor nutrition, eating disorders, and depression take off for a young woman.

I think all three are girls who are skating by, but will pop up on their radar when the herd thins (especially Savannah, which sucks because I really like her). I love the way Selina handles herself.

LynneH September 17, 2017 Share September 17, 2017 (edited) I thought this episode moved better compared to previous episodes. I am so glad Brianna is finally gone. I was never a an of hers and thought she and Erin should have been released the same week. IMO not only was she not even close to being DCC ready (same as Erin) she was too immature to be on the team. I think Brianna is very talented in her field and I definitely do not hold the fact that she does not cook against her as a lot of children that are involved/dedicated to extensive extra curricular activities may not have time to indulge in learning how to cook. I think she needs to either go to college or stick to something closer to home for more support until she gains some life experiences. Although the Vet segment was nice, I felt it did not belong on CMT MTT but would have been better filmed by the DCC organization and placed on their facebook/website page as PR. The DCC org has lots of money comparatively speaking to other NFL cheerleader teams, and should be placing stuff like this and USO tour performances on their facebook/website. Related issue: I also don't understand why their halftime performances/show group performances are not filmed and placed on their websites. The DCC organization is always saying how they are "Americas sweethearts", if so then promote it! I agree with others in regards to the uniforms with the XX laces on the shorts. Very distracting and not flattering. Another gripe: I dislike all the "hair whipping". I think some of those girls would do better if they didn't feel the need to whip 3-4 feet length of hair around. :-) "Next Week: "There's a lot going on in French Onion soup" Natalie Wood" OMG I LOVED Natalie Woods. She is one of my all time favs, along with Kandi Harris and Mackenzie Lee. They all had issues (Kandi was too boxy for the uniform but was an excellent dancer, Natalie Woods, Judy and Kitty didn't care for her dancing, but she looked great in the uniform and Mackenzie was so short and didn't have high enough kicks but otherwise an excellent dancer). *L* Edited September 17, 2017 by LynneH 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61655-s12e07-personality-testing/page/5/#findComment-3644948

This episode felt by far the most rushed of them all. But it seems like they tried to focus a little more on the veterans (especially Stephanie which is kind of random...). I swear sometimes it felt like they were cutting to the next scene before even finishing the last one. The show group audition was literally a blip on the radar. They conveniently did not show a single clip of Erica again this episode, except for a few shots of her sitting on the ground with the other veterans which could have very easily been missed. Absolutely loved the veteran hospital visit.

Do they visit veterans often? On 9/14/2017 at 8:13 PM, sooooo ill said: I think Kalyssa is dynamite but she would look way hot with platinum blond instead of the strawberry blond. You know a "Dallas blond" like Kell says. To me she looks a bit plain jane with that hair color. "Plain" is not a word I would ever ascribe to Kalyssa. She could have any color hair, heck she could be bald, and the eyes would still be drawn to her.

Maybe the lack of dance knowledge of the judging panel had something to do w/ these selections? - or perhaps some total number of rookies that are allowed to be in show group limit? My guess is that Kashara, Tasha, and Stephanie are all very good with people, and that that's a weak area for Keyra. I'm not saying Keyra isn't a nice person, but the DCC have to be outgoing, engaging, and approachable with everyone - men, women, children, seniors, church ladies, whoever. They have to really reach out to people and draw them in, especially since they can be intimidating (particularly when they arrive in a big group.) If Keyra is less so, or is someone who hangs back or waits for people to approach her because she's not as comfortable putting herself out there, it could have been a reason why she wasn't chosen. Half of the job on show group is signing autographs, shaking hands, and kissing babies. It's not just about the dancing.

On 9/15/2017 at 4:46 PM, Mabinogia said: Kalyssa, in contrast, is doing about the best out of the rookies. The judges love her, she's stunning, she's a great dancer and has that "it" factor that draws your eye right to her. Yet I don't recall her bragging about how she's the best there. (If she did, this argument goes right down the toilet. But I can't recall her being braggy. If I recall correctly, there were some who said Kalyssa was conceited when she said she started winning competitions just a few years after she started dancing. I didn't think it was bragging, but some were put off by it. On 9/16/2017 at 3:08 PM, sATL said: I just thought of something.. I thought it was a requirement of a DCC to be in school (full-time status?) or have full-time employment. To meet (prove) the requirement of being a student and surely the easiest way, I would think they would have to submit a transcript, for each semester. K&J must not LOOK at the transcript - o/w they would have known about the 4.0 - two times. I imagine if proof is required, they would have to show proof that they are enrolled at the beginning of the season, as a requirement for getting on the team that season. It wouldn't make sense to ask for transcripts as proof, since transcripts would not be available until after the season is mostly over.

I don't think in the application it is a requirement. Here is from FAQ from the audition process: The DCC have always counted SAHM as a full time job. According to Shelly, it is a requirement. The quote below was in response to a comment that Hooters Girls make more than the DCC. On 8/4/2017 at 2:42 PM, ShellyB said: Very possible, since having a full time job or being a full time student is a requirement. DCC is not designed to be a sole source of income. For those that have cheered, it is more about the love of performing, the unique experiences it brings and the lifelong friendships it creates. On 9/17/2017 at 1:15 PM, LynneH said: Although the Vet segment was nice, I felt it did not belong on CMT MTT but would have been better filmed by the DCC organization and placed on their facebook/website page as PR. The DCC org has lots of money comparatively speaking to other NFL cheerleader teams, and should be placing stuff like this and USO tour performances on their facebook/website. Related issue: I also don't understand why their halftime performances/show group performances are not filmed and placed on their websites. The DCC organization is always saying how they are "Americas sweethearts", if so then promote it! The DCC are somewhat lax compared to other teams when it comes to their online/social media presence. It comes across (to me) that they feel like the show is enough, and they don't really have to extend themselves to fans in that way. On 9/17/2017 at 1:25 PM, Mabinogia said: Haha, when they were doing their "big moment" for the fake camera, and pretty much each one of them chose the hair whip with a pose, all I could think was that at least one of them just got smacked in the face with a wall of hair. Personally I see hair whipping as a way to distract from some shortcoming. So the ones who excessively whip I automatically think of as less talented, even if it's not true. The hairography looks really really good from the cheap seats. It's flashy and helps emphasize the movements, in much the same way that poms do. 9 hours ago, Jess14 said: Shelby who was a TCC a few years ago told Kelli that she quit her job to focus on DCC. It's probably not a hard and fast rule (doesn't appear to be a "if you lose your job, you get cut from DCC too" type thing). The job requirement is for those who have been hired as Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, not for training camp candidates, who may or may not get the gig.

" Glad to hear Shelly B ruled on the full time job/student requirement discussion. I know being a full time student is expensive and the economy can make it hard to find (and sometimes keep) a job, but I did find it a little surprising that the DCC did or considered dropping the requirement. Bragging that we have students at XWY university or work for ABC company gets their name out there more. Not only is the requirement a preparation for life after DCC , I think it helps the ladies to be well rounded - i.e. life experience. I really could see the patience and poise Selina had in the "weight discussion" that she has dealing with 5-6 yr olds and/or their parents. Kudos to the employers who allow a flexible schedule to be a DCC. When I first stared my career, I barely had time to watch the highlights of the sunday game. Usually newbies are too busy trying to prove themselves and/or get stuck with all of the "grunt" work that eats into clock time. It does make sense that TCCs are excused from the ruling - they aren't on the team yet officially. Since many of the TCCs relocate to Dallas, I suspect many are jobless for the moment, until job offers come in, or are awaiting until the fall when school starts.

Dccfan126 September 19, 2017 Share September 19, 2017 I mean Shelly can say they have to be a full time student or have a full time job all day. It doesn't make it true. it's weird to me people think this person who may or may not be Shelly is somehow 100% truthful. It's also weird to me that they think it is totally normal to lie about stuff that just is not true. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61655-s12e07-personality-testing/page/5/#findComment-3650120

But for the ones who make it, then what? Do they have a set amount of time to get a job/enroll in school full time or else they get kicked off? I find it hard to believe that there could be a person who remembers choreography perfectly after the 1st time, kicks her nose, and never makes a mistake, but K&J would say oops, no job, you're out.
