She hardly made it to TC last year and Kelly said she doesn't like her face and a lot of other people really don't like her from what I hear. Plus she has put on weight which means she would be another dcc that can't keep her weight off. Stop taking girls that have to work so hard to keep the dcc look. No way would Heather H and Allie try out. Heather does not have the DCC look, not sure how she got on the team before and have you seen how out of shape Allie is? Both really nice girls and I wish them the best. I did enjoy them while they were on the team. I also heard Simone wasn't wearing her ring ... not sure what to think. I agree, I can do with out Brianna. 18 it too young to try to go to school and do dcc at the same time plus move away from home. If you check out her fiance's Instagram account, he has deleted all of his pictures with her. She's deleted a few from her page as well. 4 Link to comment
Jess14 March 28, 2018 Share March 28, 2018 I feel for her if the engagement has ended. I can’t imagine how it must feel to tell everyone you’re engaged, start planning and picking out stuff, and then poof, it’s over. However, better to find out now than down the road if it’s not gonna work out. Ending an engagement is easier than divorce! On a purely DCC related note, Simone has had a lot of injuries right? If so, i can see her retiring for that reason as well. 5 Link to comment

That said, she is pretty young. best to get this stuff figured out now. again, im' totally speculating anyway but it is weird that he got rid of all their pics. :( that's right, she did have some rampant injuries. 4 Link to comment

They used to always have pics together and comment on each other's stuff and I haven't noticed any of that since December. That is purely speculation on my part, not trying to start rumors ... haven't seen her wearing her ring tho either. I thought maybe she's quit and move on (literally) if they'd split because his residency is in Dallas, IIRC. I love Taryn so wouldn't mind seeing her reaudition - I love her roommate Brittney too and hope she also reauditions. I would be shocked if Heather H and Allie tried to come back. I could do without 18 year old Brianna. Ahh..I haven't really paid attention to the ring missing. You are probably correct :) I know Taryn doesn't have "the face" but neither did Alexandria so I tend to pull for these gals. I liked Brittney as well! I really liked Heather and Allie and it's just wishful thinking on my part about them coming back.

I would rather go to the audition prep classes and/or Jenna, Jinelle, Lacey, KaShara or Robin for help before I would go to a rookie who only has been on the team for a year. Looks like a lot of people feel the same way you do about a rookie teaching the class. This class on Wednesday is usually so crowed the girls can hardly move. This is the smallest class ever.

Amanda89 March 29, 2018 Share March 29, 2018 Robin confirmed on podcast she is retiring but still working with Dallas cowboys as a media intern and Jessika has confirmed she is returning. gutted to hear about Robin, but sounds like a brilliant opportunity and obviously something she is very passionate about. in Regards to jessika, I have to admit she’s someone who blends in to me, I don’t think I’ve ever given her a second thought until I heard she would be on the podcast. I’ll definitely be following her most closely in the new season. I really liked the story of Kelli hand writing her a note encouraging her to retry after she made it to finals and wasn’t successful one year. 7 Link to comment

LaurenBrook March 29, 2018 Share March 29, 2018 that is sad about Robin but I somehow had a feeling she would be retiring. What an awesome opportunity for her!! I could see them asking Stephanie to be an all star if she is indeed retiring (and it wouldn't shock me if she was) but unless they are really switching up their timeline this year, it's too early for official all stars. I feel like they usually talk to them about it in late April and contracts start in the summer. The fact that Jessika flies under the radar doesn't upset me LOL I do wish she'd stand out a bit more tho and i just can't put my finger on WHY she doesn't? her solo got dragged last year here but she's good at the dcc style and her kicks are some of the best. hm. 4 Link to comment

ATLGirl March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 (edited) Not really surprised to see Robin retire, although I'm very sad to see it because she was an awesome DCC. Great dancer, intelligent, classy, sweet, dynamic and very well spoken. She put in her time and is ready to really build her career, so I say more power to her. She's going to go far. I hope we get more dancers like her at this year's auditions. Edited March 30, 2018 by ATLGirl 9 Link to comment
Jess14 March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 Robin, Jenna, Maggie....if Cersten and Lacey join them in retiring....eek! I keep reading about the type of girls that they need to pick this year, but I’ll just focus on the type of dancers that they need...power dancers! They keep losing them and not replacing them. If they have another rookie class like this year’s group, then the 2018-2019 team may be rough. I do think some of the current rookies have a lot of potential, so hopefully they will improve as well. 6 Link to comment
bigskygirl March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 I think the closer we get to the End of the Year Banquet time and auditions we will get a better idea on who will be leaving. I think Lexie, Alexis, Lauren and yes even Christina have a lot of potential of the rookie class. They have been hurting for power dancers since Season 6. There have been standouts since the massive exit at the end of Season 5, but the quality has been lowered. No Nicole Hamilton, Brooke, Tobie etc. etc. to speak of. I think girls see the show and are afraid to tryout especially since there has been less girls trying out. Link to comment
MrsEVH March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 (edited) Just listened to the DCC podcast with Robin, Jessika, and Kelli Finglass. I learned some interesting things: The 2005 show was the pilot and season 1 is from 2006. Of the 5 years Kelli cheered, none were Super Bowl years (said 3 were losing seasons). She does have 3 SB rings I assume she got as a director of the DCC. She was kept out of a halftime rehearsal and the show because she WORE the wrong practice outfit. I think she said it was her rookie year. Probably why she gave KaShara hell for it. She loves SNL and the skits. Said 2 DCCs were in one with the cheerleaders (Cheri Oteri & Will Ferrell) in the 90s but nobody can find a video of it. Edited March 30, 2018 by MrsEVH 4 Link to comment
Stee March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 Just to add on to the above, how AMAZING was the podcast with Kelli hosting? Usually Shannon (and even Courtney) have a hard time focusing the conversation on interesting discussion, or keeping things related to DCC. Kelli had this amazing ability to control the conversation, bring up all sorts of new and interesting facts about Robin and Jessika that made me understand and get to know them both more, and generally just made the podcast seem more elevated and polished. (Without her, they often trail off and talk about their favorite shampoo, or food, or do old College cheers which I find odd). Can we PLEASE have Kelli host the podcast full-time? The dynamic between Kelli and the girls - especially Kelli and Robin - really brought something new and different to These Boots are Made for Talking that we haven't seen before. Kelli's endless list of talents never cease to amaze me, but podcast host is definitely another one for her. <End gushing> 11 Link to comment

HowdeeDo March 31, 2018 Share March 31, 2018 Here here to giving the podcast to someone more inside DCC, Robin, Kelly or otherwise. I can’t handle anymore “so who’s your best friend on the team? Are you single?” Less Tinder, more journalism. Kelly was wonderful, and it’s nice to see a different dynamic of her relationship with the girls other than critique time. Her schedule may be too full to commit every week, but this was a breath of fresh air. 7 Link to comment

M1977G April 1, 2018 Share April 1, 2018 (edited) Noooooooo, Robin, don't leave!! OK, obviously I can't be mad at her retirement. It's her life, she's got a career to build, and she's put in more time than I can imagine making and being a DCC. But I just LOVE her. She's everything y'all have said: smart, talented, an excellent performer, classy, well-spoken, a devoted teammate who seems much beloved by her squad, and just the total beautiful package. I think she was a great leader and was one who K & J trusted to communicate clearly to them (I'm thinking her "OK" she gave them before breaking it down about what Gina really was like in their group) and to support and guide her group. I was all set for her to be a first leader next year. Sigh. I'm excited for her next steps in life and wish her all the best. But I wish she would reconsider my feelings about this...
