RazzleberryPie February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 In my personal opinion, anyone who takes a year or two to plan a wedding WANTS to take that long, instead of NEEDING to take that long, and that's ok. Not my cup of tea, but to each her own. If she prioritized her wedding over being a DCC, that's her choice. A marriage is far more perms any and encompassing, so if I had to choose between the two for my extra time, I'd choose the marriage, too. Now I have a whole other opinion on women who take a year off from school or work to just do nothing but look at bride books and taste cupcakes or whatever. That seems like such a waste - putting your education or income on hold to try on dresses? So superfluous in 2016.

LaurenBrook February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 I was under the impression that it's not the wedding PLANNING that wrecks their ability to cheer for DCC, but when the actual wedding falls. If you are getting married in the midst of training camp (like Victoria and I believe Rachel) that means you'd be missing like over a week of camp, maybe two weeks, which I can't see them ever permitting. A fall wedding could also be difficult to work around but not as impossible as summer.

Kandi looked stocky because she was naturally muscular and had no where for it to go - kind of like Vivian (sorry, I didn't think she looked any different the second year she was a TCC). I have short legs and put muscle on super easy - it's frustrating because i can be in great shape and still look thicker than the girl next to me.

As far as the DCC posting stories on the website, Jackie Bob was the winner in my book. She was the first to make her posts interactive with the fans, turning the tables on them and asking them fun, silly questions about all kinds of things. And she was funny (a novelty in those posts). Her personality beamed through. They should have made her in charge of social media. With that said, it brings to mind something else so thank you Jackie Bob for inspiring this. I know there are stalkers and we are in a social media OVERLOAD on this planet but I believe there is still a way to connect with fans without having to reveal your most personal thoughts/phone number/boyfriend’s name. The DCC site is so bad as is their Facebook page, and the cheerleaders individual Instagram and Twitter pages are just pictures posted mainly. Boring. There needs to be interviews or stories posted again. These girls are way more interesting than anyone gives them credit for. I always look at Tom Hanks as an example of someone who always has lots to talk about but never reveals anything very personal about himself. Same with Jason Bateman. They talk about sleep, travel, funny things that happen to them. Kelli and Judy talk about how the DCC is a world class organization all the time. But their online presence is embarrassing. We used to know something about the team and each girl. Now we know nothing about any of them. Isn’t that the point of the reality show?

You're right, but I don't think they'd choose Meredith now, either. Her first audition year, weight (or more like weight distribution for her - she gains exactly like me - all in the belly, on matter how thin everywhere else is) was an issue. That's pretty much why she didn't stay for a full five and went ahead and got married and moved after 4.

bigskygirl March 30, 2016 Share March 30, 2016 The test and essay have been mentioned before. In Season Three, some of the girls flunk the test, and Nicole Hamilton got in major trouble with Kelli because she was one of the girls who flunk the test.

LaurenBrook March 30, 2016 Share March 30, 2016 Reading the girls' bios on the official Cowboys site, I shudder to think of the quality of the essay portions on a timed test are like.

tobeyoungagain March 30, 2016 Share March 30, 2016 I'm not sure what the best thread is to post this but I was perusing the guidelines for auditions and came across this: "Finalists have a brief meeting with Cheerleader Director, Kelli McGonagill Finglass to schedule their personal interview appointment and to discuss Final Audition Components: Solo Talent Presentation, Written Essay, Panel Interview and Test" Why don't we hear about an essay or test? I really applaud all the DCC cheerleaders past and present ... this sounds like more work than a job interview or even getting into college! Especially if you're international and don't know the rules of the games or our culture. Kudos to them all.
