I was trying to see Jalyn dance in those videos but without the flaming red hair I can't figure out which one she is.

Does anyone know off hand who has been point the past few seasons before Jenna?

Madeline is kind and sweet but also thinks she is better than everyone else.  These pix really show that.  Standing up over her parents and over her friends and over Erin shows how she thinks she is the real princess.  Notice she didn't stand over the vets.  She loves to make sure everyone knows where she went to college but she still hasn't had a job since graduating other than taking pix for Sydney.  This pix with her parents really shows she is queen of that family.  

Did she kick your cat or something?

Not sure if this has been posted. From this post it sounds like she will not be reauditioning period. I know she wouldn’t as long as they were doing the show.  Good luck Dayton!! I’m sure she’ll be great.

I got to watch Gina and Kashara perform side by side this summer, and Gina out danced her. There was no comparison. I’m a big Kashara fan, but Gina smoked her. And everyone else on the field with her. She brings it 110% every time. Kashara is great at point and does a good job, not saying she doesn’t. 

The thing about point is u want ur best dancer with the ability to bring in the crowd. We all know the great dancers and good dancers however during a game the crowd just wants to be entertained. While I’m watching the videos they all do an awesome job and I don’t think in a stadium setting u can really discern the good from the great but u can see the pop and personality which is what Kashara brings. Some years the point has everything, best dance skill, best looks, best personality. Some years she doesn’t but Kashara comes closest. I think Lacey and Khalyn wud rock the position as well.

Dayton got a great new job on a cruise ship. In my opinion, she got the better deal and opportunity with the cruise ship than being a DCC.

I think you’re correct. She could definitely be part of the triangle, maybe point? She looked great out on the field. Gina is definitely most qualified.

Both Amber and Bridget made SG. So they both must be outstanding.  I recall Kelli commenting positively on Ciana during finals.  They called her Hawaii, which threw me off because she was with the Trail Blazers so I thought she was from Oregon.

Cianna grew up in Hawaii but moved to Oregon for college. She danced at Oregon State University for 4 years. After she graduated she moved to Portland and danced with the Trail Blazers for 2 years.

Gina brings the same thing in person..... she and Kashara both do. I’ll have to watch Khalyn more closely.

Did something happen between Sydney and Madeline Malloy?? they were so close last year - she worked for Syd and everything - and they didn't take any pics at MTT and i didn't see Syd congratulating her anywhere.  i'm probably reading into it too much LOL just odd to me. 

I love watching Tasha perform and she's gorgeous/telegenic but I don't see her in the triangle - i think she'll retire this year.

Mileage obviously varies on who should be in the triangle/point. I think Maddie is beautiful (not the stereotypical DCC beautiful, but that’s a good thing to me), and the most fun for me to watch maybe only after Kashara.  I’d love to see her @ point.

Just because one smokes on the dance floor doesn't mean they have mass appeal, e.g. Holly P, Erica, Maddie (love her).

I'd like to add that Kashara is going out with grace and dignity. Class act!

[pizzaandcatsrlife]

I think Maddie is awesome.  I love her look and she’s clearly the best all around dancer on the team. 

I’m so intrigued by this whole Heather thing and being passed over for GL.  My theory is they have end of year surveys given to the girls to rate their leaders.  She must have been a terrible leader not to get asked again.

Caroline is very basic. I'm not being shady, but she looks very average, which I think is a good thing considering alot of people think you have to be GORGEOUS to get on this team (which she isnt).

Man, I don't know how anyone can watch the videos above and say Kashara doesn't deserve to be point. That girl has more pop and sparkle and power to her dancing than anyone else on this squad by far; the only one who came close for me was Khalyn. I love Maddie but Khalyn would have looked amazing in the triangle with Lacey and Kash. Gina is super talented but even her dancing seems "fake" to me like her personality. I've read here she's nice in person but it just does not translate well through the show. Rookie Rachel is stunning in these videos as well.

Hot take: Lacey is a blender. Beautiful and talented, but a blender.

I agree. There really isn't anyone else who is just FUN to watch like she is. Mia was super fun to watch which is why I think she got point over others.

In the case of Erica, they were not going to cut her for her injuries unless her doctor said no more performing as a DCC. I heard they offered her an All-Star spot and were willing to send her out on appearances. She was cut for breaking a rule by sneaking out of the locker room in Canton and going out to the bleachers and sending out pictures of herself with the drink to some of her fellow DCCs. Jenna ratted her out to save her spot on the team. Of course Jenna probably told Erica she was forced to rat her out just like she was forced to rat out Holly even when Jenna was breaking a few rules herself. I am sure there is a lot more to the Erica/Holly/Jenna drama, but damage control has not stop some of the real story from coming out.

False! Jenna didnt rat anyone out. Stop the Jenna hate. Erica was never cut. smh NVM

Does the 2GL choose the dances? If that was her only issue, then another season as a 2GL would have been the next step, not a demotion.

 

I agree SO much. I wouldn’t be particularly mad because Gina is one of their best dancers at the moment, but her facials are terrible and she just has something... Paris Hilton-y about her. And I definitely don’t think that a girl who honestly believes that others are jealous of her enough to say it in front of the cameras can actually become a true team player and leader and not follow Jenna’s path.

Tasha has won me over. She’s so much more powerful and looks amazing on the field. Rachel is still one of my favorite vets and has the same girl next door quality Dani had. Erin looks amazing this year-she went from no power at all to THIS in just one year? See VK, that’s how you do it! Kashara may not be the strongest dancer, but she’s the only performer they have on the squad (rookies excluded, haven’t seen enough). She draws you in and she looks like she truly enjoys it and she’s so “big and bold” without looking out of control (see VK, that’s how you do it). Aand all the rookies look good this year. 

Is Heather in Kashara’s group? That must be a slap in the face for Heather too.

Yesssss on the Paris Hilton vibes. I know we only get glimpses of these girls but she just strikes me as a mean girl. Granted an awesome dancer, but still. 

 

Well never know all the behind the scenes stuff that happens and obviously they don’t want to air out all the dirty laundry so I just assume there’s reasons behind all their choices. 

 

Yes on Tasha!! I remember when she was a rookie thinking oh geez she’s cheesy wth her pink lipstick and funny Instagram but now I think she’s really beautiful and turned out to be a great dancer

So are you saying Erica quit before she got fired? Even DCC alumni have reported on Instagram during the initial days of her lawsuit that she was cut. 

 

Because your prior post about Erica quitting because she filed her lawsuit was completely incorrect. That lawsuit was filed almost a year after she either was cut or quit before she got fired. No disrespect intended, but the timeline of events are well documented and obvious.

Its still on going. She is trying to change the way the system is. It makes sense the DCC make up a good amount of revenue for the Org. Its sad how they are treated even if it is their choice to tryout. They shouldnt be treated the way they are treated.

speaking of ole' Jenna - putting aside Kelli departing speech about "lasting impressions" - I don't get why they hired her - to do what exactly? I don't remember if she went to school to learn a skill/career.

Seems like if you caused trouble once (even though she proclaimed to learn a lesson), you would want to keep your distance. Far, Far away from young impressionable cheerleaders. 

 Unless it is a case of keep your enemies closer. Do the other departments have a non-fraternization policy with the players? 

Being an full-time employee means she is getting health care/dental/vision benefits, paid vacation, possible 401k contribution, not to mention a salary to maintain living near Dallas/the Star. Quite a jump from a professional cheerleaders salary...

Wait...are you saying Jenna is now working for the DCC?

Erica was never cut that all I am trying to get across. The DCC alumni wouldnt speak on behalf of another DCC like that. unless it was that one chelsea chick who no one speaks to. She wasnt shown as much  as possible in the show due to CMT not wanting to be brought into the lawsuit by using her image. She is in the last episode of last season sitting in the front next to Jinelle. Also when Jenna is getting repremanded for not participating in the Pyramid formation which was mid season.

There were rumors last year around the time that she was cut that she was threatening legal action. Maybe that’s what the poster is referring to in why they didn’t air anything about her but yeah... the lawsuit was filed a few months ago so the timeline is off.

She probably couldnt recover and retired. The Dallas Cowboy Orgnization like many big companines deal with situations like Erica behind the scenes as fast as possible. I mean remember Mike Irving drug problem. Look how fast Holly got the boot. I mean Tobie Huff's never became GL because of a photo scandal that they kept under raps. Prob a PBC is most likely, I wouldnt be surprised once this issue gets bigger alot of alumni DCC will side with her. except ofcourse the pets.

I am a big Gina fan too. I was one of the ones who initially didnt like what we were seeing on the show because it is rare that someone could be that disconnected from how they come across to others and she seemed to make a complete turnaround. She has really grown on me and is a talented and entertaining performer. I will have to watch her facials this season to see if she has point potential. Point is on camera so much that they really need to be able to change up facial expressions and still be pretty and attractive 100% of the time.  Forgive me saying.. but I get so irritated when any of the girls get caught on camera and they are not smiling or the face looks disinterested.  Like that one big screen shot of Breelan doing the spooktacular routine with a big ol scowl.   GRRR

According to Kelli herself, the DCC Organization brings in around one million dollars a year in revenue. The girls are made by what they bring in. I am sure there are other expenses the revenue covers. A million dollars is probably a small drop in the bucket to the over all revenue coming in from the overall Cowboys Organization.

I am going to say one thing about the Tobie Huff photo scandal because the mods do not want us to discuss it. The photo scandal happened after Tobie left the squad. Holly left the squad, she was not cut. If Erica left the team on her own free will, her leaving would have been mentioned on the show unless she stopped if from happened. Erica tried to get back on the team after she was cut, but Kelli and Charlotte said no.

[Jess14]

I can’t speak to the accuracy of this site (although I assume it’s accurate), but it looks like Erica and the Cowboys settled the lawsuit in July. ETA: Actually, its a dismissal without prejudice, so more likely that she dismissed it voluntarily but can re-file if she wants.
