Honestly? I'm very distracted by Khalyn's teeth. And I'm in love with Kashara.

Not to sound stupid, but how is Cersten prounounced? I always assumed it was Ker-sten

Thank you @dreamcatcher I am glad to see I am not the only one distracted by Khalyn's teeth.

This goes to show that we actually know nothing that happens behind the scenes. Savannah may be the best teammate, going above and beyond.. And we dont see any of it. So happy for her! I love an under

I attend a weekly bible study, and even I roll my eyes at some of the things people in our group ask us to pray for.... then I pray for myself for being so bitchy and eyerolly. ?

Going out on a limb here by saying Claire's hair is not doing her any favors in my opinion. She would look better with a different style and hair color. Just because Kelli likes redheads and longer hair does not mean it looks good on certain girls.

I didn't realize that Keyra was one of the Clovers last fall.

I ran across this today as well.  Apparently, she's an LSU girl too.  I saw a picture of her on the LSU team with Cersten and I think two other current DCC.  If she's friends with several squad members she definitely had a leg up.

Hmmm . . . is it just me or does it sound like the person or people behind that book sound more than a bit bitter?  I wonder if the individuals involved either didn't make the team or didn't make Training Camp because I don't know of anyone else who would write something like this.  Even the immediate "support system" for the girls (i.e. family and friends) wouldn't do something like this.  At least in most cases.  If I didn't know better, I would have thought this was something that Vivian would do, but that would burn FAR too many bridges, both the ones she's already crossed and the ones she has yet to cross, if she was involved in any way and I don't know if she would be willing to do that quite yet.

They weren't even interesting quotes. And frankly, if you can't write a summary that makes sense and contradicts itself, I have no interest in reading more, much less paying you up front.

Theres a reason a publishing house isn't picking you up, and there's a lot of terrible plots and poorly written books out there. 

I'm all for hearing an insider's POV, but come on. 

Since my posts were merged: Snippets of Kelly Popcorn, Raylee and Allie's solos. Love Kelly's costume but yikes.

Thanks @kalibean for posting the video. For some reason I cannot not post videos from Facebook. I guess I am Facebook challenge. *lol*

Maybe it's because I'm just mobile to mobile? When you're looking at it, click "share" then "copy link." And then just paste it in here. For Instagram you just have to click in the top right, copy link, and then paste in here. 

Hope that helps!!! 

As for my namesake and her jumpsplit...sigh. SIGH. You know Brennan is sitting at home going WTF.

Just clicked through the rest of the game day photos. I think Tasha looked kind of rough in her pics--muffin tops (mind you, I'd love to have muffin tops that size), flat stringy hair, and hunched up shoulders. She needs bigger shorts. Lacey and Cersten appear to rock every action shot. Christina, not so much.

If it's just the one game, and her first game as a DCC, where Christina has a bad jump split, I wouldn't be too worried about it, though I would REALLY get after her for it because it's not only dangerous to her, but to the girls around her and could cause injuries.  Christina was just lucky no one was seriously hurt or even hurt at all.  If she gets reprimanded and still does it, she should get pulled from the kickline for the rest of the season and then either asked not to reaudition or cut at Finals next year.  Once can be explained away, but to do something repeated that could hurt another girl (and have it possibly be a career-ending injury) shows a lack of care, concern, and attention to detail that really worries me.

I think it's a great picture of Dayton and her costume looks good with the color scheme of the graphics. Not that others weren't wearing purple or pink, just that I'm not sure this is nepotism, exactly. Now, if she'd made it to training camp after what we saw, that would have been a whole other story. If anything, I think it might be a little embarrassing to be so prominently featured like this and then be shown doing that interview and somewhat lackluster dancing.

Now we know why Raylee and Ally were cut.

Kelly was a HTC, DMD, AAIA and now a MDC; the girl must know  how to dance  Why would she have such a bad solo?

Oh thank you very much!  They are fascinating--and messy and destructive!   Most of my pairs are retired from breeding and just enjoy life now.  Some of them have been with me 30 years.   As exciting as it is to have some of the very rare ones, it is a lot of work too.

My unpopular opinions:  

(1) Many of the cheerleaders aren't pretty.  Are there not enough pretty girls in the big state of Texas?  Most of them look so much older than they are with the harsh makeup.

(2) Hometown team should have homegrown cheerleaders.  Just doesn't feel authentic to have DCC be from Japan.

(3) DCC uniforms are ugly.  Always have been.

(4) Too many girls are starting to come in with six pack abs.  Too many women are over-fit.

(5) What does Judy really do?  The choreography always looks so stale and old.  

(6) I hate Rycroft's big mouth.

(7) Give me more of the dance teacher who tells it like it is.  Less of the add-on "celebrity" judges.  

I disagree with almost everything that you've said here.  Ok, everything.  LOL

Please no more "how I overcame stuff" segues. Some are misleading and some are...over dramatic? I mean....My heart goes out to these ladies, but I'm here for the auditions and dancing. Also, I am a little bored of the ladies dancing in apartments and random studios. Show me more auditioning and decrease the amount of cutaways. I would like to see maybe one whole 8-count before moving to another shot. And I totally don't care about what happens before numbers are called I.e. Dancing like at a dance competition before numbers are called  everything seems so disingenuine this episode or fake. Do I need to take a nap? 

Funny!  I remember one of the ladies talking about her psoriasis.  And one talked about mean girls being critical of her dance technique on her childhood dance team.  It made me think how sheltered (and lucky) these ladies are if these have been their hardships in life ?

I'll give psoriasis a pass, autoimmune diseases are no joke & I hear it's overall not a pleasant thing to have.

Yes, yes and did I say yes. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disorder in 2003, and it is no walk in the park after having a radiation iodine treatment and now dealing with sensitivity to the one thyroid med I am on and dealing with multiple health issues due to the radiation doing a number on me also. 

I am going out once again on a limb by saying a few of the girls do look older because of their hair style, makeup, and tanning. Two year vet Kelli looks like she is in her forties to me because of her hair, body (looking at her abs and thinness,) makeup and tanning. I can understand why Kelli does not want the girls looking like Casper the Ghost, but the poor girls are too made up at game day, appearances and performances to the point of looking plastic like dolls. They can harp on the All American Girl Look until we all are blue I the face, but I am not seeing it when the girls are all "dolled up" at times. I would rather see the girls look like they do at the swimsuit calendar shoot. Yes, they touched up the pictures big time, but to me they look better without all the makeup, tanning and sometimes another hair style speaks the good type of volume.

I kind of agree with you, at least on style  Unfortunately Kelli likes All Stars to still look like their cameo pics as much as possible.

So wait, since Christina *appears to have made a pretty big mistake, does that mean she gets held back from the next game?  How does that work?

I wouldn't think so? They'll probably mention it more than anything. Of course it could be something she struggled with through training camp since we know her kicks were already low. She must be one hell of a dancer if she made the team with kickline problems.

My unpopular opinions:

1.  I like Charlotte. Some may say she landed her role with the DC organization through nepotism, but the woman has proven herself to be a driven, shrewd business person. She's busted her butt and she strikes me as someone you would not want to piss off. 

2. I like Kelli.  I may not always agree with her, and I'm not so naive I don't think she has favorites, but she's human. She's also turned the Cheerleaders into the success they are today. She should guest lecture in college marketing classes on how to take a successful brand and turn it into a profitable, in-demand commodity. In her “spare” time of course. About the only thing I don't like is some of her dress selections lol, but if they make her feel good, then to hell with my opinion, lol. 

3. I absolutely adore Judy. In the entire time of watching the show there have only been 2 instances now where I've wanted to say WTF? She obviously cares about the team and about the quality of their performances. The DCC performance quality makes other teams look like sloppy high school pom squads that are regurgitating DCC choreo while drunk on MD 20/20.

4. Speaking of drunk....   every 20-something girl I've ever known, myself included, had gone to clubs and drank while not quite 21, and maybe even smoked a thing or two. Luckily though, none of us had a very high profile job and had signed a contract to behave.  So, to the divas that were cut, reprimanded or quit because of said behavior,  if you *must* do something shady, at least have the common sense to NOT DO IT IN PUBLIC.  You're not irreplaceable, no matter how many twitter/IG stalkers gush over you night and day. 

5.  Melissa R and Anthony R add zero value to the show. They have zero credibility for anything DCC-related and steal time from the things that I really want to see. Whatever CMT is paying them for their so-called expertise is a waste of money.

I agree with pretty much everything you've said.  Anthony Ramos is adorable and has a great personality but.... yeah.

Melissa Rycroft.  Again, nice girl.  But.... Really I have no comment.  There's nothing really to dislike, nor does she add much.  Maybe the girls in training camp appreciate her though...

Judy, Kelli, and Charlotte- I am fans of all for different reasons.  Yes- Charlotte business acumen, Judy- not fake, very straight-forward, Kelli- huge amount of hard work, responsibility, dedication, and sacrifice to direct a team like this for so long.

I love Melissa Rycroft.  I liked her when she was on the team.  I thought she was way more relatable than some of the others.  I loved her on Dancing with the Stars.  She worked hard and the dances she did were not easy.  She's fun and perky.  I know people love to hate her but she tells the ones she mentors what do do such as flirt with the camera or toss their hair or how to fix their routine more than Judy screaming It's messy or wrong.  Melissa is on a morning talk show and has done well for herself.

I like some of the Kitty clips.  She tells it like it is.  My favorite is her making fun of Vivian's tin man routine.  That was so bad that Kitty really helped her.

I am thrilled we have no more Vivian who spent to much time reading her own press.  On that note, fortunately got rid of Kathryn Dunn.  Don't go back to tryout for DCC if you cannot handle being talked about on a blog.  She is pretty but a bad dancer.

I liked Cassie.  She made fun of herself and had to be tough to stand the constant sniping about her..  She may not have been the best her first year but certainly earned her 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.  The 5th she was injured but not the first nor will it be the last injured to make the team.  She's a known commodity.

I miss Brooke Sorenson, Meredith Ogden, Mackenzie, Jenn K, and Whitney I.  All of those girls were amazing.  And well spoken.

Dayton.  She really was not that great in her tryouts beside bombing the interview.  She looked better in dance class clips but I thought tryouts she looked boxy and if her mother was not involved, she would not have been talked about.

Yuko needs to go.  She is ok in a solo and comes across adorable but cannot do the DCC dance.  

Love Kashara and so why tired of when someone makes fun of her accent.

Hannah..........I heard she got herself so thin for tryouts and spent the year in trouble for her weight.  She had a bad attitude about it and the weight effected her dancing.  i do not miss her.  I thought they spent so much time drooling over Hannah at her first training camp she decided she could do no wrong.  

 

I liked Danielle.  I felt sorry for her when Jasmine was cut but Jasmine was not in shape and danced poorly that year.  Danielle i like because she has always had to work hard to be able to do this.  No parents or husband supporting her.

Chelsea,  Although some of her stuff was funny, she was really a clunky dancer and does not know how to handle management.  I loved the we are fat video but Chelsea you did talk yourself off the team.
