Um so Tasha is the cover girl for EXTRA, so not even going to say much about the false lashes, filters, etc., bc that's just how she rolls, but WHY DOES SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE SLIPPED HER WIG. We see your edges, Tasha. 

Yeah, i can overlook everything else. I find her level of “extra” to be amusing, and i don’t even *hate* her love for pink lipstick  BUT what on earth is with the wig? 

[LaurenBrook]

I think Tasha's roots are just growing out and it's the way she has her hair tucked.  I think we'd have seen more signs at other times if she wore a wig?? lol  I have NO doubt she throws in a lot of extensions though.  

I dont think there is anything with her birthday look that makes her look like a bad ambassador for DCC. The lashes and make up and whatnot aren't personally my thing but she looks fine.

Not  being snarky but does anyone besides the cheerleaders themselves even care about the Pro Bowl cheerleaders? My husband is a HUGE football fan and he didn't even watch the pro bowl game.

I almost contemplated making the drive to see what all the fuss is about/meet Kashara, but a few of my football-watching friends said it would be a waste of a long ass trip. (3 hours north of me)

[PrincessLeia]

I’ve been a Tasha fan, but I think she looks old and fake in that birthday pic. It’s all just too much. I wonder what shade her skin is under all that makeup and spray tan. 

[UnicornKicks]

I like Tasha too and don't get all the hate. She's just Extra. 

I seriously, honestly, with all my heart think she doesn't wear any more makeup and hair than Lacey, Sydney, Kalyssa, or Queen Kelli Finglass herself. 

I will also say in person that she is STUNNING. Like scoot over and share the seat, Kelsey, stunning.

Sydney is another one- I’ve akways wondered what she really looks like as well. ?

[bigskygirl]

I certainly agree Tasha is not the first or only DCC with the Extra when it comes to the makeup, hair and tanning. Like I said, I like the way the majority of the former DCCs look better because they do seem to cut back on the big hair, tanning and makeup once they leave or get cut from the team.

[sleepyjean]

I rnjoy Tasha's extra-ness. She's not doing that for DCC, she's been like that for years. She gets it from her mama, based on the family photos I've seen.

What I'd love to see her improve on is her facials and finding the right places in her dancing to hit & emphasize nuances.  This gal, Jade Chynoweth (19 years old), better illustrates what I'd like to see more of with Maddie.  

As a side note, this class taught by Brian Friedman, is who I'd love to see Holly P. take a crack at.  I think she would excel at Brian's style.

 

ETA:  The last few 8 counts of this choreo is all improv.

 

WOW!!! This girl is only 19? She's really talented! This is making me want to take hiphop classes. I didn't think there was anything wrong with Maddie's hiphop, but after watching this girl it's like night-and-day.

Although she does do hip hop, this example isn't hip hop.  But glad you liked Jade!  I was using her to show how strong she is both in movement and focus facial wise.

Oops...*runs to hide in the non-dancer-corner-of-shame*

Still wanna learn hip hop! And whatever style it is she's doing. 

[parrotfeathers]

"I think" they need to go in the subways in New York City and see real hip hop.

[mmm]

I think this is  b-boying with some hip hop mixed together. But i think it's shameful that called it hip hop it can qualify as that.

I don't care what it's called. That girl can MOVE. Damn. 

[UnicornKicks]

That girl has major control and can definitely move but I hate that style of dance, whatever it is. Now I will go scoot my walker to the sink and clean my dentures before I go to bed at 6 p.m.

Ha!  It's all good.  I like to follow certain up and comer dancers and Jade is one.  She's a chameleon and can do pretty much any style choreo thrown at her.  I wish I had been half as good at her age.  Brian Friedman's style is a hybrid of all kinds of dance.  Some I like better than others.   But all of his dancers have a very strong background in technique.

Since Kash is returning, what’re the chances she’ll be point for a second year? Will it be another Holly A situation? 

[Acromantula]

Went to watch the podcast with Kashara and Jenn K that just came out, and realized that I totally missed the one with Selina and Keyra!  Anywhoos, watching the Kashara/Jenn one first, and a couple of thoughts: 

1) Kashara is very pink. Very! Is that like a sunburn, the effect of her barbie shirt, or too much tanner+ blush? Beside her, Jenn K. practically looks pale in comparison. 

2) Jenn K. is extremely personable and seemed really down-to-earth on the podcast. I know some folks have said she can be "bland" and just recites DCC taglines, but I found her quite entertaining and real during this interview. I can totally see why she was picked for Pro Bowl last year--she seems like the kind of person who could strike up a conversation with anyone and make them laugh, while also coming off as intelligent and well-spoken. 

3) There was a fan vote for Jenn K's pick! She sounded rather sceptical of it. Unsure if there was one for Kashara. 

4) Jenn K: "That's the cool thing about our organization, it's real women. Not Pageant women. Real women, taking on the world!" Um, excuse me? Pretty sure 65% of the DCC were former pageant contestants...;p 

5) Kelli and Judy announced Kashara's Pro-Bowl pick by tricking her into thinking she'd messed up during a game. Sneaky coaches!

6) So cute that something like 18 previous Pro-Bowl Dcc cheerleaders came to watch Kashara perform in Orlando!

7) Kashara describing how "loose" the appearances and events were at Pro-Bowl in comparison to the [super-tightly-OCD-organized] DCC ones was very funny. Kelli keeps the girls on a short leash for sure. 

8) I didn't realize that the DCCs are one of the few (only?) NFL cheerleading team with only 1 style of uniform. Apparently the other teams have 3-4 different styles, and wear them interchangeably throughout the season. 

[tajalexander]

Since we’re here.. 

9. Jackie Bob met and talked to Nicole Hamilton at their pro bowl and wanted to audition for DCC.

10. The show deters a lot of current NFL cheerleaders from auditioning

From the snippets seen on TV, you would’ve had your choice of seats in the stands. It was pathetically empty.

Other squads, especially up north, regularly deal with the elements and below-freezing temperatures.  No way they can wear one uniform for the entire season. On the other hand, DCC perform in a pristine, climate-controlled environment - perfect for those year-round teeny shorts.

[dccfan321]

Anyone else hearing that Kalyssa is no longer on the team or maybe suspended due to oversleeping the cheer competition appearance? I trust my source, but just wondering if anyone else has additional details.

[Katherine1904]

KaShara will get point again now she’s returning. I think that’s a shame for the other upper vets ie. who now won’t get that chance. I’d be surprised if Lacey returns now

I also got a bitchy vibe from Jennifer in the the podcast. When she was talking about her fan vote for pro bowl and she was saying oh so a rookie could get it oh great

2. From my understanding, it was 18 previous pro-bowl cheerleaders..from last year..from around the league. If you watched Jenn K's Instastory, you could see her w/ the cheerleaders from the other teams (her PBCs)..not DCC cheerleaders.

If she actually was kicked off, makes me think that this was just the final straw after other infractions or Kelli just wanted her gone for other reasons and used this incident. Being kicked off for oversleeping one appearance (not even a game) seems extreme.

If the team knew she was in trouble, may be another reason why they may be keeping their distance publicly.

Assuming all of this is true, the year of turmoil for the team seems like it will go down to the very end: 

1 vet (Mandy) opted not to return at the 11th hour; 2 vets (Holly and Erica) kicked off or quit in training camp; Most senior vet (Jenna) suspended; 2 vets (Alexandra and Milan) quit during season; rookie vet (Kalyssa) rumored to be suspended or kicked off......

So, I'm guessing the triangle will be Kash, Robin, Lacey, and Maggie gets Robin's current spot? That's if Lacey auditions again at this point. lol

[UnicornKicks]

I wish theyd do that formation again where they have two girls at point. They did a little bit with Crystal/Whitney and then for a minute pre-season with Holly A/Jacie. One other I don't remember off hand with show group.

Edited February 1, 2018 by tajalexander

[UnicornKicks]

OK watched the podcast w/Kashara and JennK. I do like the hour format.

I don't think Kashara looks that pink. Spray tanned, but on my screen not Tasha pink shirt or pink skin. She does say she was sunburned from Florida so maybe she just doesn't look pink on my screen.

I hate JennK's ugly jacket. Wait, just STFU JennK. She flapped her jaws way too much and I felt like she corrected Kashara way too much. 

Tired of them making fun on Kashara's accent. I have family members with a heavy accent (not same as Kashara's) and it's annoying when that's all people focus on instead of their personality or intelligence. Also I think Kashara knows what an antelope is. She's probably got one hanging on her wall in KY (yes, she has had pics of her dad hunting before). Don't act like she's stupid for not knowing the name of those long horn African cows at Animal Kingdom. We go every summer when visiting grandparents and I don't know the names of all the animals - I'm more of a Magic Kingdom fan LOL.

JennK saying they're 'real women' STFU x2 JennK. 1) KASHARA is a pageant girl. Down to earth, but title holder and a frickin' PAGEANT CONSULTANT. Half the squad at least has had a title at some point. 2) DCC are not realistic representations of the average woman. The whole point is they have perfect face, hair, fitness, style, etc. Most of them come from really comfy backgrounds which allows grown ass women to have part time cheerleading jobs instead of having to work. JennK is beyond irritating. STFU until it's time to plug the Jr. DCC.

Usually Courtney the host irritates me but when she called JennK a Stage 5 clinger who wouldn't leave, I wanted to hug her. Did she say next week is DCC CHANEL or did I hear wrogn (assume she meant Chantel with Lauren).

Oh one more. JACKIE BOB. Can we just give her a crown and let her rule the world? Love that she's the Pro Bowl director. That woman can hustle.

Lacey was 50/50 in her podcast. Now KaShara is staying I’m sure she’ll leave

There’s also Cersten to consider. I think she’d move up before Robyn based on her Canton position

What does Lacey returning have to do with KaShara? Does she dislike KaShara?

Lacey seems to really enjoy being a DCC, she's stayed healthy, and as far as I know hasn't expressed other outside interests (i.e. demanding career, fiancee) that would pull her in another direction when she could stay and join the 5 year club.

[UnicornKicks]

From what I heard last summer, Lacey was mini pouting for a minute bc she realized she could've upped her game and been point. Don't know now if she's over it (pouting or DCC in general) now or not. Don't be surprised if she does stay.

[bigskygirl]

Kalyssa's DCC twitter page is still up, so if she was cut they would have taken it down faster than we could say DCC. I also do not think rookies can be chosen for PBG. I also thought I read someplace KaShara said there was a PBG fan vote, but I do not remember seeing or hearing thing about it. In my opinion, I do not think fan votes have anything to do with who is chosen, but it is a way for the fans to have a little so say in who they would like to be chosen.

It took a weeks for all of the ones who got cut/quit. If it’s not updated regularly after awhile, then we can assume she was cut/quit. 

I would love for them to surprise us and make Lacey point if both Kash and her comeback. Kashara was point/GL/Showgroup/PBC. She more than peaked her 3rd year, give some glory to the other hard working veterans. 

[scorpio1031]

What if Lacey decides to "dial it up" - can't she still be point or is Kashara point until she leaves?  I could see some friendly competition between those two.  And have we heard for sure if Maggie is returning?  She said during her podcast that with being from California, she wasn't sure about auditioning.

There’s nothing to say it couldn’t happen, but it has never happened before and is extremely unlikely now KaShara is a PBC

If Kash goes all five years, she potentially could be point for three years straight. Not sure I like that at all. Not just for her, but for anyone.

I agree. She loves being a DCC so who knows when she’ll stop. It should be a different point girl each year, no exceptions. You wouldn’t send the same girl to pro bowl so don’t have the same girl front and centre

In the minority once again, but I do not see anything wrong with a DCC being point girl for more than one season. I also do not think point girl or PBG should be based on who has seniority, is willing to kiss up to Judy and especially Kelli and Charlotte, or is a fan favorite. The girls should  not earn point girl, Show Group, PBG,  group leader or assistant group leader,get the promo appearances an/or performances because of seniority or because they may feel they are entitled to it.

I think there was one DCC who was sent to Pro Bowl twice, but in different years. Jackie Bob was a Pro Bowl Rep for the San Francisco team, and of course for the Dallas Cowboys. I think they said in the podcast yesterday Jackie met PBG Nicole Hamilton while she was representing SF, and she decided to try out for DCC after meeting Nicole at the game.
