I don't think anyone here is claiming that its only gym time and willpower in the cases of women like Jalyn and Jinelle in terms of figure, but just as 'bad' genetics is only 50% of the story of people that are larger always struggling with their weight, it's only 50% of the story in terms of petite women too. petite women can still get large, can still gain weight. its not a get out of jail free card in either case.  if you want muscle tone and good abs, you still have to put in the effort, which clearly JInelle and Jalyn and many other women with that sort of figure do. women like Vk (like me) will never look like Jalyn, no.  but it doesn't follow that we therefore have to be untoned or undisciplined in our diet.  I won't be as slim as Jinelle 6 months after I die, it's just not my build or my shape.  but i can still be slim and toned.

Thank you! My original comment about "hard work in the gym" and "will power when it comes to eating" was not to say that every person on the planet will look like Jalyn if they put in that effort, rather it was to say that we have to give Jalyn a little credit. Sure, she may have won the genetic lottery, but we should not diminish the work that she has put in to get that sculpted and toned definition.

Thanks for your kind words. The cut was surprising, to say the least. I’m not going to battle screen names with no personal connections to DCC on a message board. Dayton is a beautiful girl and talent

Am I the only one who thinks Maddie's boobs look much bigger than when she first tried out? Is that from her putting on weight?

I also love it.  Refreshing to see these young ladies trying to reach their goals.  I say this after watching Judge Judy where a two girls got in a catfight over a worthless idiot who had no job and had managed to impregnate 4 different girls (these 2 included).  Judge Judge asked them if they had a brain.

It’s sad, brilliant and pathetic at the same time.

think VK should have watched older episodes of this show to know how to act. Watching season 3 and Jordan Chanley is just awesomely positive. You never got the impression she ever thought she would or should make it. Her face when the team is being announced is priceless. 

OMG. If you know this show as well as most of us, you never forget Jordan Chanley’s face.

Cassie to me was definitely a mean girl. First of all, she should never have even made it to semi finals her first year. Her freestyle was horrible. She couldn't look the judges in the eyes when she introduced herself, and she wouldn't smile. She got special treatment from day one. Seeing the episode when she gets picked for group leader was laughable. So many others deserved it over her, but it was the same year Judy was GL, so of course, she had to get it. She also got selected for Show group every year. Got to be in the calendar every year. Come on!!  She isn't even attractive!! The list goes on and on. I feel sorry for her kids, because that is the example they learning from. There seemed to be a few mean girls on the squad during that time, but I can imagine if you crossed Cassie, there was hell to pay for sure.

Her mom knew that Cassie had no real talent or intellect and was destined to be a stay at home mom and nothing else. So Judy did whatever it took to elevate her below average daughter's visibility in order to marry her off well.

Heck, I would!

One of the most appalling scenes during the Cassie years was when she called Judy to apologize for "running out of gas" during practice and Judy starts crying to Kelli. They all feel sorry for her and are moved to tears by how sad Cassie is for disappointing Judy. Nobody ever suggests it should be a major problem if she can't finish a routine.

Equally appalling as well as hideous was her stupid costume used during her solo that somehow got recreated for the whole teams halftime Halloween dance.

I noticed that too.  Her little cheeks are too full to come off as sexy. 

I've never found Maddie sexy, for me she looks too young to comfortably be viewed as sexy and there's always been something...try hard about her imho.  she's cute, don't get me wrong, but I've never thought her sexy, and I really don't like her hair being so curly (in the last year it's started to look like a twisted up mop imho, rather than nice defined curls). I just don't find it that flattering for her but i guess Kelli loves it (and her)

 I was impressed with how Maddie came back that second year and remade her body. That first year she was definitely not HD ready.

I personally do not think this year's rookie class is all that strong compared to the squads from Seasons 1 to 5. Yes, there have been some standouts, but the quality of the squad seems to keep going down more and more each year.

I’m not impressed with this year’s rookie class either. That may be due the fact that I couldn’t pick half of them out of a police lineup because they’ve hardly had screen time though. It seems like VK, Dayton, and Malena have gotten the most screen time thus far, and I never considered any of them a real contender to make the team.

Yeah that is awful. Interestingly, this Link looks perfect; you can’t even Alanna’s legs. I think that supports the idea that she jumped but landed early. Of course, that’s the cowboys website; maybe someone there has great photoshop skills.

1) Tara was one of my favorites last season and I was so disappointed to hear she was cut. I saw the weight gain (even though she was tiny to begin with sooo) and the ‘bad’ hair, but she was so powerful/likable I thought she deserved to stay. Especially amid the VK soap opera this season has become lol. In the words of Kelli ‘It’s awkward for me to say this, but I will say it:’ go back and watch the veteran scenes of the most recent episode a couple of times. Tara still could not do the field entrance very well :/ The ‘weird style’ pointed out last year may have improved a bit, but every other vet seemed very confident with it per the hilariously timed Demi Lovato song. I still love and miss Tara, but I’m now wondering if this contributed to her cut as well? It wasn’t the most comfortable looking.

 

2) If I were these girls I’d be so mad/annoyed the website wasn’t updated until months into the football season. The cameos and squad photos should be updated the day the new squad makes their first official apperance. Anyone else feel this way? I’m bored of seeing irrelevant Alexandria and Kalyssa online lol. They have active twitter accounts! You’re not hiding any spoilers by waiting to update the freaking website. Come on. Eye roll. 

 

3) I caught up on maybe 20 pages today. Despite differing opinions I so much appreciate this outlet to come discuss the show. My boyfriend simply can’t fathom all the intricacies of the Dallas cowboys cheerleaders ? Thanks all for your opinions and insider info at times. For example I finally learned about the Olivia drama just today :) again thank you!

Are you kidding?  This is one of my pet peeves.  If it is because of "spoilers" it's ridiculous.  The team was announced in August, and like you said they have Twitter accounts, have announced it on their Instagrams, are seen during games, etc.  But there are some people who don't want to know before it's announced on the show.  They will even make comments on the girls' accounts when they say something about making the squad.  It's like, hey you spend a summer like they did in TC - they have the right to scream it from the rooftops:)

And yes, the website needs to be updated by the first regular home game at least.  New cameos, new updated info - not is a student when they graduated two years ago.  There is a way to do it without giving out too much personal info.

I think @ShellyB confirmed this last year (but I could be mistaken so please correct me if so!), but they like to update the website with the new squad photo, cameos and bios in sync with the squad photo episode airing on CMT. Which I sort of understand because you watch the episode and think oh hey I want to go take a look at the finished product! And squad photo episode obviously the team is announced, so no spoilers :) But for us impatient people who clearly need better hobbies.. I wish it were earlier! and so the new girls could share sooner rather than later after a long summer of hard work.

@ShellyB, I can't even imagine how emotional this moment must have been for you but kudos to you for having the courage to let her spread her wings and fly.  My Mom did this for me years back when I had the opportunity for a 2 month dancing gig in Sapporo Japan.  Even though she is now gone, not a day goes by that I don't appreciate and love her for the courage that must have taken.  Like you and Dayton, we were incredibly close.

Please pass along to Dayton that I hope she enjoys every nanosecond of her new adventures.  She's earned this opportunity & I hope it's everything she's dreamed it will be.

Thank you! After arriving to the apartment, she met her roommates and some other dancers for different ships. She had an excellent first day - orientation, where they did intros and said something interesting about themselves, learned about the shows and each set, then they were off to rehearsal. She loves her cast members, 5 girls, 5 guys and 3 lead singers. They have 3 - 45 minute shows to learn and they learned one 2 1/2 minute piece today, she said it was very Fosse. Plus she’s singing...it’s backup but, she’s singing!

This is probably my favorite solo cause sometimes I get tired of the lyrical/contemporary and this probably woke the judges up.

NEver seen these, and I like Jinelle and Syd, but both those solos were blah. Jinelle just flails around and doesn't extend or finish anything. Horrible calypos at the beginning. Syd looks like she's half assing it, too, and just going through motions. I hate it when vets have sucky routines.

I like the energy Jinelle had and she was entertaining.  Also, it was different compared to the same thing she always did in her last four years.  I was re-watching Sydney's and thinking, um ok that's it.  Cause she's had some good solos.

My favorite group of rookies was in 2008. That was a year the rookies all hit the ground almost

ready for a game.  I think they were the best group ever. That was Kelsi Reich’s rookie year, who

was so good, and they barely showed her.

Each year why do they continue to focus on girls who do not usually make it.

This year VK was featured so much I didn’t even know the names of the others.

That was taking your friendship way, way too far.

And was that their actual music?  So Sydney really danced to “they can’t hold us” by Macklemore in a pretty white and blue lyrical costume w/ a skirt?   That can’t be real, right?  Lol!   I didn’t like that other routine of Sydney’s I saw w/ her a milkshake tray or whatever it was - she just seems very middle school talent show w/ some of her choices.

Agree that Jinelle is just flailing to the beat - I’m sure she’s competent at the DCC choreography, but she clearly made the team for reasons other than her dancing. 

Was that Jennifer K. dancing w/ the red top and black skirt in that footage behind Sydney?  I couldn’t tell for sure if it was her or someone that looked like her.

Sydney’s solo looked awful for the 4 seconds we see. No energy. I’ve seen some other of her solos and she always picks odd music; songs you can’t dance to. 

You’re welcome!  It is different from her others.

And here is a tiny preview.  KaShara, Tasha and Alexis look beautiful.  I am glad they let Kash grow her hair out.

Some time ago, a friend of a friend...HaHa...appeared on some reality show. He said they spent about a week signing hundreds of papers (he estimated at least 850 pages) to the devil. At the time, he was about 22...he said you're so overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of appearing on TV that they basically lost all common sense. He said they didn't really read what they were signing, so if you passed gas or scratched your butt in your sleep or said something inappropriate, you signed those papers that gave production permission to air everything and anything and you couldn't do anything about it.

I'm sure CMT and the Dallas Cowboy's Organization have ALL their bases covered to protect them from law suits.

So when Holly was cut for behaving badly, commenters on here said her lawyer father should sue DCC for what they did to her...now we'll never know what happened behind those closed doors, but I'm pretty sure DCC, CMT & the DCO lawyers all pulled out every paper Holly signed.

Holly wasn’t cut though. She resigned. I think there had to be some behind the scenes wrangling there. I couldn’t understand why Kelli didn’t cut her and why she allowed Jenna to stay as well.

Bc Jenna was not underage so not breaking the law, and she'd swore she'd stopped effing around with whatshisface. 

Also Holly's dad is a lawyer but just a tax attorney. Not some big contract or criminal lawyer who is going to lay the Johnnie Cochran smack down over Holly breaking her contract then resigning. HOlly basiclally did what she wanted then quit when she couldn't do what she wanted and moved on. Jenna was, well is, desperate and would still be there if she could.

Some really nice photos in this gallery. I think Maddie looks good (photo 4/34) and there is a great photo of the jump split (28/34).

My personal view is Maddie is way too plain to be up front. She looks even more ordinary/ not DCC face next to Kashara and Lacey. She’s one of the few girls I thought Neil was right on in his comments about her face the first year she tried out.

i know she has great qualities but she just looks like the ugly duckling in the swans here. I’m not saying she doesn’t belong, just further back.

Her boob looks close to falling out in the first photo which is embarrassing for her, though not her fault.

 I thought for sure there was contact with Holly from someone advising her it was best to move on, rather than be cut on the show. There had to be more with her just resigning after the meeting where she wasn’t cut.

 

I didn’t mean her dad got involved, but just because he’s a tax lawyer doesn’t mean he doesn’t have friends/ connections in Dallas. (My mom does corporate mergers in NYC, she still has plenty of friends she could call on, all over the country, even late at night, to act on something like this.) Who knows.

Im just saying Holly was not cut but resigned and it’s incorrect to say she was cut.

From what’s been said, Jenna was just as guilty, if not more, of breaking the “no contact” policy. She was a poor leader and friend to Holly and ended up complicit in the team losing one of their best dancers. Maybe she thought she gets more attention if Holly’s gone? I don’t know, but Kelli had good reason to cut Jenna, if she chose to do so.

I agree Jenna is desperate. Her text about still wanting point while being punished showed she didn’t get it.

I am sure Judy and Kelli are probably glad she is gone especially with all the new drama this year. I could not imagine being in TC with Jenna and Victoria. UGH!!!
