Looks like they move the date for Season 11 premiere episode to Thursday 8/25. Melissa will be back to be a mentor.    http://www.cmt.com/news/1768595/dallas-cowboys-cheerleaders-making-the-team-and-i-love-kellie-pickler-new-seasons-premiere-aug-25/

OOhhh--it says the Japanese girl will be in training camp!  Darn, that isn't a question.

We see that Kelli has an office but I don't know that we have ever seen where Judy's office is.  I imagine there is a lot of work with arranging for other groups to work with DCC, promotional items, the calendar etc.  I know that people have talked about Judy's stool she sits on in Kelli's office.  She would like to sit in something else but said it even has it's own twitter following!

Do the girls have to be "camera ready" on non cmt aka non Kelli/Judy nights or can they wear there hair in a bun and dress in their own clothes? What a pain in the ass to do your hair and makeup like that night after night . 

One more.  Why are some cuts not shown?  It's widely known that Amy Reese threatened a lawsuit but there were girls in both season 6 & 7 that just disappeared.

I found The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders movie on Youtube and watched the entire, painful thing!  I noticed that, asked from both the shorts and the poms being A LOT bigger in 1979, the choreography looks like it was easier (or at least slower).  Of course, that's all through my untrained eye.  Do any of you dancers have an opinion?

I could agree with this. I think dance has evolved a lot from the earlier days with the popularity of hip hop, etc. I feel that is more "cheer" dancing in the past with more basic moves.

This is what I have heard- They have a sort of set guidelines list corresponding with height and weight (example: 5'2 you should weigh 113 or under.. 5'3 117 or under...etc). Of course these are guidelines and exceptions can be made, plus things like how much muscle a girl has (or if she has fake tits lol) are taken into consideration.   In TC they weigh you, and this is the weight you must be at for the duration of the season. I think you're allowed like 2 or 3 lbs of fluctuation before things start getting serious. I have heard that they weigh in front of everyone, which would explain why everyone knows if you're on weight watch. I also have heard that sometimes they have weighed on fridays, and the girls know ahead so they starve themselves all week. After weighing, they pig out all weekend. I do think there are occasional surprise weigh-ins too, as well as some back-toback. Like they might get weighed on Fri, pig out all weekend and think they're good and then Surprise! random weigh-in next week.

The problem is that in a way some of the girls set themselves up for failure. So many girls come to auditions with a weight that is unnatural for their build and they have been extreme dieting in preparation to even be considered for the team. Now, if they make it to training camp they are pretty much forced to stick to that weight, no matter what lengths they must go to to maintain it. Everyone has different body types and whats normal and healthy for one girl may be sickly for another. The fact of the matter is that some girls just don't have the build for DCC. A few names come to mind of girls who made the team but don't have the body for it, and I believe this is why they were cut as veterans.

This is 100% true and it was a standout in MTT8. Vivian was given shizz because she didn't weigh 113 and was 5'3".. no regard to muscle vs. fat or different body types. It is all about the number, which is not realistic or as Chelsea said maintainable. They also post everyone's weight in the locker room for all to see, with the girls at the higher end highlighted (!).  Kelsi Reich detailed this after she left the team.

She did a couple of times I think, once to Miss Kitty. And I think also during cameos, something like "I don't see a healthy reason to tell her to lose weight".

But then I think when they were cutting her and Vivian was all "just give me 3 weeks, 2 weeks" she seemed to backtrack and say she did need to be lower and she needed to take the time to do it healthily.

I know way too much about the Vivian years, LOL.

I have 2 questions and I don't know where to post because I don't want to derail the tryouts thread or offend anyone.  (Mods, please just delete if this is inappropriate)

1. Do some of the DCC really use cocaine? Past or present? I only ask because I was doing some internet snooping and I thought a former DCC looked like she had been using cocaine.  

2.  I know we discussed in detail, but as a woman, I just, don't get it! Please- insiders, dancers, someone tell me.  How opaque are the tights? If the shorts were to slip, will the women be covered up enough? Have you guys seen the pics of he kickline from the back when their legs are on each other's backs?  Please tell me that the tights/hose are like leggings- like not see through at all.

I was rambling.

@omgtv I always heard that the tights were the same ones the hooters girls wear (LOL). It makes sense though because hooters girls have equally as short shorts and I imagine even the tiniest thing can show lines as well. 

The tights have a little color and lots of sheen to them and are very supportive. But they are see through! I think there might be room for accident. I imagine waxing is a big concern..

Yes. Past and present have at least dabbled in cocaine. Not all, but some.

 

yes, we use hooters tights, specifically diva hosiery. Little know fact, hooters uses different brands. I know Courtney told me on tbbc they used hooters tights but it was a brand called peavy. Most girls wear suntan c, it's a universal color and size.

Yep! Those Peavy tights were the only ones I could wear with those tiny orange short-shorts at (back in 1990).  I remember the day we got fitted for them "do you want size small, extra small or extra-extra small?"  Ummm, I guess I'll take small (worried that my size medium was going to muffin-top over the edge of those shorts).  You still had to cut the waistband on them so you could bend over without the elastic band showing.

Well, without calling out anyone by name...remember a few years back when a majority of seasoned vets retired? They'd be from that batch. Two in particular that hung together. One was a blonde close with Courtney Cook and who married a baseball player after retiring (not Brooke), and the other was her buddy with a chin length a-line bob, and was way into fashion (not Sidney)...I hate to reheat reheated leftovers, but I tend to believe the party girl "cola" allegations from their tweet pics at clubs and such. If it's true, I don't think it's the worst thing in the world. I personally think meh, so they did a little blow. Big whoop. The reason I mention it is because of the squeaky clean image of the DCCs so I always lick my chops when they present themselves as human. Makes me like them more.

I soooooooooo wish I could figure this out.  I'm even looking at old lists trying to figure it out.

I have a good idea who you are talking about. The one blonde who is close with Courtney Cook is married to a Dallas Fire Department Firefighter and had a baby in February and is a good friend with someone who came on the team in Season 2. Am I close to the girls you are talking about?

I was under the impression her hubby was a baseball player because he was rather well known in the Dallas community, and I somehow threw baseball in there. Clearly I don't know what he does for a living, but by cracky, I could tell you what breed of dog he'd be!

Well apparently not the kind that helps cops sniff out drugs
