I concur with this. I live more on the western side of KY and the accents from Eastern KY are a hella lot more thick than over here. Like her accent is pretty much spot on to where she's from. They are def more "country" over there. But with Kentuckians, you'll have hit and miss accents too. Mine isn't very pronounced, but 15 miles away from here, people still say "warshing machine" and have an accent that could rival Kash's. And I find that my accent does tend to get thicker when I get around people who don't have one as bad, or maybe it just sounds more pronounced  IMO. 

When I heard her say she was from KY I was like oh def must be Eastern. It's a whole other world on that side of the state, I think American Idol Gives back did a campaign there because it's rough. 

Thanks for that information.  Interesting facts about the thickness of the accent depending on which side of the state someone is from..

I politely disagree. Her look is unique and she will obviously stand out from the rest.

I didn't say anything about her look, I think she's one of the prettiest they have.  I said in my post that by "physical presence" I meant she won't physically be there because I think she'll retire this year.

Was that the year that Simone, Kashara, Holly, etc were rookies. I want to say that there was a bloodbath at the end of that training camp where they sent several people home at the end.

Did I miss something .... why the Christina hate ? Has anyone here on the boards met her in person and she was rude?  I dont think we get a true impression from CMT. She has worked hard to get on the team ... I think she will go another year.

Someone on here has met her and said she was standoffish or just not as friendly as someone else, but I don't think that warrants alot of the hate here for her.

2006 = 35
2009 = 35
2010 = 34
2011 = 34

Simone's rookie year was 2015

ETA: You are right, it was 34 in 2015 also. I double counted a few people.

Busy in a work project today but took the opprotunity to catch up on the DCC Podcasts, These Boots are Made for Talkin. I'm half way through the one with Lacy and Molly. Oh My Gosh, Molly is annoying! I wasn't a fan of her "look" last year and after listening to her on the podcast, ugh!  As for Lacy, beautiful and classy  you would never know she was one of the youngest on the squad.  Once again, I don't have my glasses on so please forgive any auto correct mistakes ?

Im not sure if we are allowed to dicuss these things since it does involve religious culture, and since we arent Mormon, we cant really speak for the LDS culture, so a mod can delete this is needed. I lived in Ely, NV for 3 years which is majority LDS. My female friends were all LDS. Ive been to LDS worship services, and ive been to LDS community dinners. I am not LDS, and not any religion. What I do know is that the DCC uniform is completely unacceptable to the LDS culture. I would have to say if Maddie were comitted to her LDS faith there is no way she would be on the team. The LDS culture is historically inflexible. They excommunicate members for things less grievous than wearing the DCC uniform. Most likely, Maddie would have had to make a choice- one or the other but not both. If Maddies family members do attend LDS services, Id be willing to be the Elders of their Ward have expressed concern. Maddie chose DCC. The assumption could be made she is less worried about the age/marriage issue. Also, women dont have to go on Missions, where as the young men do. Maddie could certainly choose to go on a Mission, but it also doesnt have to be in her 21st year.

No. Respectfully no. I’m lds and have been my whole life. You would never in a million years be excommunicated for what you wear. Like ever. She could walk down the street with nipple pasties and sparklers shooting out of her bum and still be fine. Well, maybe taken to see a shrink and probably a doctor for the bum burns... but you know what I mean. Never ever ever would she be asked to make a choice.  I think it’s great she’s a DCC and Tasha too. Look at the LDS girls on SYTYCD and Dancing with the Stars. Utah is an incredible state for fostering talent and pride in the arts. Being a Mormon is big part of that.

I found a new video of the 2018 squad performing on the field. This was when the Cowboys went up against the Jaguars last week.

 

 

I agree with a poster above who said this video looks as if they are bored. I agree. I don't see world class in this. In fact I counted at least 4 glaring errors too. I'm sure Judy was fuming.  Is there a map to the triangle somewhere? Having trouble figuring out who is who.

I like Briana she came from the Titans I think she will stick around 

I had posted at the start of TC that I hoped Briana would make it (yippee, so proud!) but she needed to dance with more power, performance & personality than she did in her years with the Titans where noticeably she rarely smiled & lacked power (we don't have a great squad here in Nashville anyway).  So glad Shelly said Briana is one of her faves. Briana obviously is humble & sweet. I think she just has a low key, laid back personality by nature, as most times she was sitting in the back in scenes in the studio. I will be at AT&T for the Nov 5 MNF game with the Titans, have great seats, & am looking forward to see how the squad pops, especially Briana!  So excited!

Men don't have to go on a mission either and the age for both is now 18. Changed a couple years ago. Being a cheerleader has nothing to do with being a Mormon. It's more aptly seen as publicity for the religion.

"Once the final cuts have been made, Charlotte Jones Anderson makes a surprise visit and has the honor of announcing that everyone remaining has made the squad for the 2018-2019 season. "

Well pooh.  Half the fun is watching Kelli announce it.  She's the one who delivered all the heartbreaks.  She should be the one to announce the  team.  Go have a beer, Kelli.  Maybe it will make you feel better.

I totally agree with the Charlotte announcement situation. The best part of the finale is when Kelli tries to come up with an interesting way to announce the team. This is Kelli's turf (pun intended)- not Charlotte's. Big disappointment. I'm glad that I know this beforehand. If not, I would be throwing metallic objects at my television set tonight :O

In my attempt to be funny - maybe Kelli was so upset that she not only couldn't have a team of 40 and thus had to cut both Victoria and Malena, that Charlotte had to announce the team.  Anywho, on to my regular snarky self.  I don't know who came up with the whole "Charlotte announces the team" thing, but I wouldn't put it past Charlotte demanding a chance to do it, especially since she'll get to be on television to do it.  There's also the chance that she'll never do it again (or possibly never asked to do it again) and that she's Kelli's boss as other reasons.

I understand people making assumptions about KaShara based on an aspect of her personality.  As a pediatric nursing professor, I was funny with my patients & had fun in the classroom which helps students retain the information. Based on this a colleague told me because I was fun & silly that pediatrics could not be taken seriously nor were pediatric patients ever that sick or complex in comparison to adults. (Clearly I don’t believe that about pediatric care.) It relegated me & pediatrics to being second class . Look beyond with KaShara. Although Khalyn can dance, it appears that she is not a good conversationalist which is a good portion of being point-speaking at show group appearances & leading a team. I am not sure who I believe will be point but am sure someone will rise to the occasion.

Thanks for explaining. I did not ever intend to question Maddie's faith or call her Jack Mormon or whatever. From my good friend's experience, she says she feels like a lot of MEN AND WOMEN are pressured to marry early, even before finishing college, so we wondered about Maddie. My friends says she doesn't feel like there is as much emphasis as having 8 kids or whatever, 4 is usually sufficient LOL and many are adopting now, but marriage to maintain purity and large families are huge emphasis. I think Maddie is out of shape and not DCC pretty, but I think she is a very good person and a far better level headed role model than just about anybody on the team. That girl sticks to her guns and has not let being a DCC change her morals.

SHE DID NOT FINISH THE SEASON. She finished all the games then quit before her contract was out, so DCC season is not the same as number of football games.

My mom is a nurse and sister in nursing school. Peds = NOT AS SICK OR COMPLEX = that colleague is an idiot. Babies and kids can get sick faster and die faster than adults. 

I know with PT patients sometimes you have to get silly to get them engaged and not mope in med. NOt making fun, just saying people get depressed and lose motivation, and acting the fool sometimes helps change that whole atmosphere. Kashara is a breath of fresh air they needed. They needed somebody to come in and welcome everybody, plus not act like they were God's gift to dance.

The show has lost its edge, in my opinion, since Season 7. The quality of the show has hit an all time low since Season 8, or has I like it call it, the Morgan Saga. I wish they would go back to the way the show was in Seasons One to Five. Kelli and Charlotte are using the show to promote the DCC Organization and Cowboys Organization. It has come down to the almighty dollar and ratings at the expense of the girls.

Yeah. My guess if it were up to Judy alone she'd have no trouble cutting anyone who wasn't making it as a dancer. Sure they've known this girl since she was born, but all the more reason to make totally clear to her before she even thinks of auditioning that she cannot and will not get special treatment. She knew what the requirements were as far as weight is concerned. And we weren't allowed to see much of her dancing in case we could all see she wasn't cutting it, and still we were all aware of many reasons why she should have been cut. I'm sure Judy's trying to do some damage control to take the heat off of Kelli, but there are too many folks who have been watching for too long to not notice the extreme difference in the way VK was handled compared to all the other TCCs in all the other seasons. 

I realize a lot of people on here apparently hated VK and Dayton on sight simply because they thought both had a special advantage.  But as the season unfolded, I found both of them very likeable! They didn't make the team, because they weren't ready. So obviously, they didn't get special advantages in that regard.  Dayton was a sweet shy young woman who tried very hard. When she knew the routine, she performed well!  She seemed to have a hard time remembering the choreography, but she was under extra pressure and that could account for some of it.  VK was actually quite good!  She had a weight issue, but lots of the cheerleaders have had. She was immature, but she is very young.  I think jealousy is responsible for a lot of spiteful comments that I read on the boards about all the girls.  I dare say that few of us commenting are perfect or even close to being able to what these girls do.  As for Judy and Kelly, they are professionals and professional too.  There is no way to please everyone.  They're people too.  Constant criticism has to be wearing.  So Judy commented back. So what?  She didn't say anything untoward.  Someone on here called her a bitch.  Unwarranted and just mean.

Yes, she is under her boss's direction.  But Kelli has had to make the tough decisions and have the hard conversations (albeit a little later than we would have liked), so she should make the announcement.  When a boss takes away her employees power, that is a bad thing that leads to an erosion of the whole structure.  Charlotte has been the boss a long time, but she is just trying to get more screen time and it isn't going well.  The "touch the star" talk literally made me puke up a little in my mouth, the embarrassing and oh-so awkward graduation ceremony, and now this......SMH.  The only way I could agree is if Charlotte is doing it because she is calling Kelli into the office to fire her immediately afterwards.  And that ain't happening.
