FINALLY!.... I just found a video of the 2018 squad's Holiday Halftime Show. Like some of you have already said, Lauren got injured and couldn't participate so Jinelle ended up stepping in. Although, she was still able to cheer on the sidelines.

Better this year. Less chaotic.

Aw thanks for posting that. I am a sucker for performances like that.  A lot of special memories made for those on the field.

I have the hand it to the DCC, they make it look so effortless and like they are loving every second, which makes watching them so enjoyable.

Looks like they’re doing their hip hop routine today for halftime.Can’t they create a new one after three years? I do want to see who’s getting Holly’s spot though.

I dont think anyone had Holly's spot...it was not there best though everyone seemed super off or tired.....however the fans and the game was wild

Guys, tonight I understand your cringe for Gina's over the top extras..however I realized this is all these girls "dreams & goals" including Kashara...and I think they should all want to be extra like Gina she legit makes them less robotic...they legit have no personality sometimes...However Kashara legit needs to be in the back dancing...I had one of my family members who never watches the girls dance say..."who is the one in the front she is off by 2 counts.." I was shocked I thought I became jaded but I have seen the true light hahah also, some of them looked soft ..end of season weight.

 

Also Rookie Rachel is really scary...now that I see her more and more...I legit think she might be a little nuts..she has no light behind her eyes its creepy

Before I saw that the picture was Victoria, I wondered why Amanda Seyfried was doing a Cowboys Fit promotion.

They are.  I think the blonde girl with the ponytails did the routine last year too.

It's the song that does it for me.  I liked it at 1st, I thought it was catchy, now I just think it's annoying...I listen to Alt Nation a lot on Sirius/XM, I think they overplayed & killed it.

I mean come on.. she’s still the only one who is doing hair flips even during the all i do is win clip. All the others are always just messing around.

Gina? I think she's extra, but I don't see anything out of place here. They all (including her) just seem to be having fun here. Bridget's hair swinging from side to side is more noticeable to me in this clip than anything is Gina is doing, and for the record I don't think Bridget is trying to be extra or anything. She was just the most noticeable. 

For what it's worth, I get that when you (I mean "you" generally - not directed at the above post) dislike someone, things that they do stand out or bother you more than other people doing the same thing. That's certainly true in life, and we see that on the board. Look at Gina, Holly, Kashara, and Jenna - they're all extra. Yet, we consistently see Person A's extra-ness is boiled down to wanting to be the center of attention, while Person B is just "trying to get everyone else to join in."  Person C is confident and slays, while Person D is trying too hard and looks desperate. And I'm not pointing fingers, I do this myself. I don't know any of these girls personally, but I simply never cared for Holly, but I always liked Jenna, defend Gina now (even though I disliked her las year), and Kashara doesn't bother me (my annoyance with her last year was more at the show/K&J shoving her down my throat as opposed to anything she did). I could give Holly the same breaks that I do the others, or give the others the same criticisms that I've thrown her way. I just choose not to because I don't care for her, not really because of anything she did.

Fix Gina's hair and I'd have less of a problem. It looks like yellow straw and her hair flips look hardcore rocker - not DCC.

@Jess14 that might be it, but I’ve noticed Gina doing the same in every single one of those clips (apart from one right after we made a huge deal out of it and then we said she was reading the forums), so I genuinely believe she still has the “me me me, i’m the best” mentality. Which is fair, but not in a group setting. 

I think Amy is going to stay for a 5th year...

She is definitely not “the only one” as the girl on the far right of the video does exactly the same amount of hair flipping (which is about 5 counts worth, that I can see before the video pans off of them) the rest is jumping and everyone hair is bouncing around. 

 

I have neutral feelings on Gina, (except for noting that she has a killer body) but the things people pick out are so odd.

I also have this feeling - she’s in Texas, has a dance studio and got married over New Years so there’s nothing really taking her away from the team. 

She would be a shoo-in for Group Leader 1 and likely Pro Bowl girl if she stayed, and it would be her moment to shine in light of so few other veterans. 

My only question is where she would be located in the triangle - is she an under the radar pick for point?

Maybe if Maddie retires too, Amy would be placed in the triangle. At best I think she would get Heather/Gina’s current spot tbh.

Yes - I believe it was said that the Group 1 Leader is the unspoken *main* leader for the whole squad.

Amy has really grown on me and looks great as the point / center of Group 3 performances. She also has the maturity, dance training and teaching background to lead the squad next season. (I don’t see Maddie having the same level of maturity). As to her being point, I’m not sure but I could possibly see her in the triangle or at Khalyns current position.  And I'd MUCH rather have Amy as Point than Gina - I think point is more than just the girl who flips her hair most!

The team would be lucky to have someone like Amy leading them. And she could be the next Jinelle: sweet, dependable, beloved. A favorite.

Bridget looks like she’s perilously close to having a wardrobe malfunction in this picture... It also kind of appears like she has some subtle highlights, but it’s possible that her hair always was this color, and I just never noticed.

That is VERY interesting, ESPECIALLY after the very awkward "ad" for Cowboys Fit during the swimsuit episode last season. I wouldn't go so far as to say Victoria was cut with an eye toward that, I don't think CMT tips their hand on whether they're renewing until they see viewer numbers and advertising dollars from the season - and see what advertiser commitments they have for a prospective next season - but if they do renew, this is an interesting preview of a possible/likely storyline.

The director/choreographer of the DCRB posted a clip from the Halftime Show. They do manage to switch things up each year,

I really like this group. Wouldn't mind seeing some episodes about them and the selection/audition and practice process!! Unlike DCC, it seems like they change their routines from year to year.

I wonder if/how the choreo will change now that Michelle Keys is out of the picture? I am absolutely NO expert whatsoever on dance or choreography but it seems like the dance steps and the choreo has gotten kind of outdated and repetitive over the last few years. I'm sure it's tough to learn all the steps the DCC has to learn in a season but it seems like they keep doing the same things. I'm so sick of Thunderstruck I could just cry.

Also, did someone get released under the radar? It seems like Jinelle has danced in almost every game this season. Is it just because we notice Jinelle more, whether as a regular DCC or an All Star, than we did past All Stars who were filling in or have there been that many absences and illnesses/injuries this season? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Jinelle and she has always been one of my favorites but it seems like she's danced a lot more in a single season than any of the other All Stars.

Her role this season has been very odd.  They’ve had all stars that have performed in multiple games before - like Emma did it a lot the season after she retired - but Jinelle is taking it to a whole new level.  Like it seems like she’s doing EVERYTHING with the team versus just showing up to do Thunderstruck at games.

She’s giving me a serious “refuses to get on w/ her life and would be a DCC forever if she could” vibe.  How old is she again?

I'm curious about this too. She's at least 31. The Daily Mail Australia did an interview with her in late December 2014 and she was 27 then. I love seeing her, it just seems we've seen her a lot this season. And, I suppose, social media wasn't around to the extent it is now so we didn't see how often Emma or some of the other All Stars performed during a single season.

Totally agree with you regarding the choreo. TPTB are not utilizing the skill set of these women adequately. They are so talented in so many areas.  I realize that the style is Power-Pom, but spice it up already!

Absolutely. I mean, we watch the solos during auditions, which are absolutely brilliant and showcase the incredible talents and physical abilities, then they go into training camp and learn what seems like pretty basic choreo to these routines.

A few years ago, Mia was covering a bit, but you're right.  It probably wasn't on social media.

This season, Yuko missed games cause of a car accident.  Daphne missed a game with flu symptoms.  Lauren had an injury that prevented her from doing kickline.  Khalyn had a work commitment and had sat out a game.  And someone posted above that it looked like Gabby and Ashlee were missing from their group yesterday.  I think I'm missing someone else, but they did use Jinelle a lot this season to fill in.

Jinelle works for the DCC org unlike the other All Stars who filled in, so I think it's just been easier for K&J to throw her in.

I noticed her highlights in this pic too.  I'm not sure what I think yet... but there are a lot of dark haired girls and and a lot of blondes so maybe this in between color adds some variety to the squad hair colors. To me Bridget isn't the best looking girl but it seems like she is a forum favorite so I'm trying to keep an open mind.  She just hasn't wowed me yet the way it seems everyone else here is wowed by her.  I kinda wonder if people like her extra since she's an animal lover with a somewhat interesting job (no complaints with that, just an observation!)

Just speculation, but if TLC was filming her I think it would have leaked by now. VK is a pretty girl so I'm not surprised Cowboy Fit is using her---but I wish she wasn't raised to think the only thing in life that matters is the DCC.

I would think that if Cowboy Fit plays into her "story", then they would film before tryouts.  It's still too early.  They probably won't announce a new season for awhile if there is one.

If it was true last season that she was told she was a shoo-in for the team, I can easily see Kelli telling her that they have a comeback story planned for her.  After all, her social media accounts are filled with fans telling her they hope she comes back.  Her TH's will be filled with I should have, I could have, I made the mistake of...….and so on.  I can see the cameras following her at the gym, prep class, working with Kitty or Jenn, etc.

If she was raised to believe DCC is all that matters and then there is the chance of becoming a reality star for a second year, then I think it will be harder for her to break away from it all.

In previous years, they only used All-Stars to fill in for Thunder.  For the rest of the game, whichever group was missing a person would have to rearrange their formations.  This year, since Jinelle is on staff as well as being an All-Star, she has learned all of the routines and can fill in on the sidelines if needed.  She's pretty much their "alternate" DCC.

I will be in L.A. this week, and am taking my son to Saturday's Cowboys-Rams game at the Coliseum.  It will be our first NFL game ever.  Too bad the DCC do not travel to away games, but at least I will get to see the Cowboys and Rams play a (hopefully) great playoff game.
