This is honestly not too far off what they tell you at prep classes/kitty's classes throughout the year. this year the election will probably have "trick" questions. Everyone will know trump is the president but a judge might phrase a question "who was the 2016 president elect?" Or "who won the popular vote?" And possibly something along the lines of his policies and the opinions of protesting. Should be interesting. 3 Link to comment

Season 2, the 2007 season, we were introduced to every girl who made camp (maybe 1 girl wasn’t interviewed), met candidates who didn’t make camp as well as had camera time with a few vets. They were great first and second episodes. As a viewer, you kind of knew everyone and now were ready to see how your favorites were going to do in camp. Sigh. I miss that kind of editing.

They tend to pick 2 or 3 to really focus on, which sometimes isn't so great, especially when you don't particularly care for that TCC (ahem, Morgan, ahem). 4 Link to comment

I would surely hope so. I mean, they're constantly talking about it being this "lifetime sisterhood". This would be a good time to be sisterly. Jenna retweeted something kind about needing prayers (of course). Poor gal. And she was coming back from doing CHARITY work!! The girls did a dance just for the little girl.

Moxiejan December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 I did think the same thing ... maybe they wanted to have this ready for when/if the girl is out of the coma. But from what I know from friends who have gone through situations like this, the most helpful/caring action at this point would be something to comfort the relatives who have been spending days at the hospital. Perhaps a gift card to a nearby restaurant, a nice basket of fruit, a comfy wrap to snuggle in while waiting bedside ... 1 Link to comment
scorpio1031 December 15, 2016 Share December 15, 2016 Jennifer states that this is her favorite song and everything else I've seen suggests that the girl loves to dance, so maybe they are trying to be positive and send uplifting thoughts. 1 Link to comment

I think it's hilarious when they do any kind of hospital trip that all they have to hand out is autographed pictures. Like I'm sure this is exactly what the sick child wants..

kalibean December 16, 2016 Share December 16, 2016 Eh, they're a big deal too, especially for a lot of little girls (and boys!) Cheer is crazy popular in Texas and I imagine a lot of little ones (especially the girls bc it's the south and gender stereotypes and whatnot) would be just as geeked out about the fluffy hair, sparkly vests and pom poms.

M1977G December 16, 2016 Share December 16, 2016 I'm sure that the organization or individuals within it who know the family personally have reached out or acted in other ways as well. This is the South, after all, and down here we make casseroles for folks we hardly know when tragedies or misfortunes strike. (The casserole is an example, of course, not the only way to reach out.) I'm sure this meant a lot to Michelle, and who knows, maybe in some realm, this little girl can hear the music and knows that people are praying for her and trying to lift up her and her family. Certainly, my thoughts go out to this child and to all the children in the world who are struggling for survival today in so many ways. Link to comment

We middle of the country folks do it too and we also call it a casserole, though here we've also taken to giving restaurant gift cards so the family can make their own meal choices. The video was cute but did seem a bit odd to me, and since the song was chosen purposely I was a bit bothered that you couldn't hear it as much as you could the poms, too bad they couldn't have recorded from closer to the speaker.

spazette December 18, 2016 Share December 18, 2016 I've heard it called a casserole and a hot dish, it's also not uncommon here for luncheons and pot lucks to be advertised as "bring a covered dish" which typically translates to anything that goes in a casserole dish whether it's hot or not. @QuiteContraryMoni Being that you're from MN, have you ever been asked to "bring bars"? My grandparents lived in northern WI for years and all their Minnesota friends always brought "bars". Didn't know if that was a northern only thing or a statewide term. 2 Link to comment
Elizabeth9 December 18, 2016 Share December 18, 2016 I think these people are so far in denial that their kid is in a coma that they may not be doing things that make sense.

raindancer December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 13 hours ago, QuiteContraryMoni said: Carrying on with your chin up, and living bravely in the face of horrific uncertainty can be seen as suspicious or admirable. Smiling, getting out there, and actively hoping while your kid's in a coma can be seen as denial or incredibly strong. DCCs dedicating a dance to a child who loves dance, who is a Junior DCC, and whose mother was a DCC can be seen as an inappropriate gesture or a beautiful tribute. Clearly, the child can't comprehend what's going on. Just as funerals are for the living, not the dead, perhaps this tribute was intended as a gesture to the family as much as it was to the child. The DCC credo is 'The Optimist's Creed'. Accepting what's happened and keeping hope alive is all these people have right now. And it's a hell of a lot braver than lying down and shutting down, which is what I probably would have done. The DCCs aren't doctors, they're dancers. This is the gift they could give. It is not my, nor anyone's place to throw in some dollar store psychoanalysis with regard to the family's coping methods, or what the DCCs should have done. Everything either comes from love, or the need for love. I view these actions as loving and touching and I view the family as unbelievably strong and inspiring. I shouldn't have posted that article, I never intended for this story to receive criticism. Love this SO MUCH. And I'm so glad you posted about the article. It was a lovely thing for them to have done, and it was good to read about it. 2 Link to comment
Elizabeth9 December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 I don't want anyone to think I was criticizing them. I just wanted to offer them a defense for people who thought it was strange. God only knows how any of us would act in that situation, and I pray we never have to find out. 2 Link to comment

She's the tired old garage sale of cheerleaders and I think that, just as people create dual aliases for themselves online, Tasha is nothing more than a Kathy Dunn recycle. There aren't any pictures of them together are there?? And Kathy Dunn has supposedly moved to Colorado, right? I think that Kathy Dunn wakes up, slips into her Tasha skin suit, kisses her husband with the weird hair goodbye, snaps a few harlequin romance selfies and goes off to live her alternate life, happy as a dream. Sorry. I had to make up for the mushiness of the true meaning of Christmas comment. Don't hold back now. (Seriously, I just cracked up.)
