Thank you. I don't live in usa so no idea about shows there as it don't get shown here in uk at all, unless it gets a uber massive viewing ratings etc. But I don't see the info where they might not be happening. I thought it was filmed already?

To me they look more like wannabe pole dancers than cheerleaders.  Probably a good thing if the show was cancelled.

To me this looks like they are at an Ann Summers party. (for those that do not know what that is. Ann Summers is a women lingerie shop and they have "reps" who would have some of their products and then host a party with the products and hopefully the people who goes to those party then end up buying some of the products and the reps gets a commission for the sale)

I don't know about what kind of viewing rights you have where you are, but this show was supposed to be on YouTube.

Really? Wow. Yea youtube uk used to have tv shows/movies on there but then about 2 or 3 years ago we see the "this has been blocked in your country" message or that it gets removed. Only a handful tv shows/movies has managed to escape and stay on youtube in uk. I think it was to do with the gpd law thing, maybe wrong.

With such a large space for the wedding, I think there could have been some mild efforts to keep greater distance, if they had had real concerns about the pandemic going on yet still really wanted to have the wedding. Spread the chairs and wedding party farther apart--they don't have to sit and stand on top of each other with all that acreage. Same with the tables--have more tables and let people spread out more. So, what I'm saying is, it doesn't look like they really cared to try to limit their contributions to the viral spread even if they cut down on the guest list considerably.

I agree with one poster that this is related to the culture of Texas and not all about Lacey being selfish (not saying there's no selfishness at play, though). I also think that part of their rush/eagerness to get married is that they likely still were virgins and so starting their lives together probably meant that they would get it on at last. At least, years ago when I asked someone why on earth our neighbor would get married at 18 right out of high school without dating the guy for a long time, that was their suspected explanation and decades later, it still makes sense to me (they were similarly religious to Lacey's family). No way do I think Lacey was pregnant before her wedding, even if a preggers announcement comes soon. The ways they both are so deeply religious, I would be absolutely shocked if they'd had premarital sex. Now, I'm not saying the urge for sex is a reason to throw a giant party during a pandemic, and I'm also not saying they would have reasoned it out so explicitly like that, but I feel like hormones are a factor and they now have a whole new set of activities to keep themselves occupied and socially distanced from others while isolation continues to varying degrees.

Yeah she announced that two weeks ago on her ig 

[DarlinClementine]

I don’t know anything about MLM’s, but Lacey’s stories indicated that she joined Rodan + Fields, and just before, and now after, that announcement, she has been shilling Tula.  I didn’t think Tula was was part of the MLM world?  Is she really promoting two competing companies in nearly back to back posts?

 

She is also posting from her second vacation this summer.  The best possible spin is that she’s not reading the room, but I’m starting to think she is somewhat dim.

I've noticed it's becoming more popular with different IG influencers.  If it's a way for Lacey to make money from her DCC fame, along with choreo and teaching, good for her.  Even Cassie promotes merch on her IG, VK promotes protein bars, etc. 

[Uk-Eve]

What is MLM?

 

Lol VK promotes protein bars? LOL Shes promoting the wrong thing. Shouldn't it be milkshakes she should be promoting?

I'm thinking it's either Jenna or Erica having fun with that page.  There is a footnote that reads Erica's lawsuit is the reason for the cheerleader's pay raise.  According to Marshall, Kelli had been working on that for awhile, but Erica's lawyer had no problem taking credit for it.  And the lawsuit wasn't settled - it was dismissed.  

If it is them, they need to get over it.  If it's a fan, they can say what they want, but it won't change what really happened and it just reminds everyone of what did happen.

It was dismissed in federal court, but then it went to arbitration and was settled. At least that’s what the articles said at the time. That likely means that there was an arbitration clause in the contract that Cowboys chose to enforce (causing the dismissal from federal court and importantly, a public docket), not that there was no merit to the claims. 

I also wouldn’t dismiss any suggestion that the lawsuit had a factor in the pay raise. Even if a pay raise was already being discussed, it’s not unrealistic to think that the lawsuit spurred it along.

Yeah, I’m sure Kelli was considering it for a while, because it takes years to give such a huge amount of pay rise to your employees. It was just a coincidence that she finally worked the details right about the time Erica sued them. 

I checked the wikipedia page and the last edit was 8 days ago by someone who has made most of the changes and looks like most of the recent changes have nothing to do with point/lawsuit. I doubt it’s them honestly.

Brennan certainly deserves a video on her journey.  Brooke's should have been longer since she was on for 5 years.  And I would love to have seen a longer one on Kashara.  I would love to see one on Meredith O.

I liked Brooke's video.  Such a happy girl with a great smile.

[Meleighsa]

I'm still peeved that they're calling these videos "Then & Now", but there is no "Now". Admittedly, I've only watched Brooke's. To gain my interest, the video needs to fill in the gap from when the cheerleader retired to where she is now in life. I shared my thoughts about missing the updated part of the story on a Facebook post and Brooke was kind enough to comment and say what she's done since DCC. Thanks to this forum, I was already aware of the info she shared, of course, lol. My point is THAT'S the (missing) part of the video that I want to see.

Finally someone who knows the legal system. Her lawsuit was not dismissed because lack of merit. Marshall needs to STFU and give himself his own hair advice.

And as we all know Marshall reads and quotes us on this forum. He definitely needs a haircut and color. Kelli doesn't like a girl whose hair is showing color at the roots esp if they are different shades of color .....

I think it’s because there is so much footage of them.(Vic and Merideth) They were on the screen every other minute.

the other vets are basically invisible after their rookie season which would make it hard to have 30-40 minute then and now journeys.

I watched Lacey's, and for a five year vet, there was very little actual footage of Lacey. The highlight was Judy talking about how she has grown and then started to cry.

Because Lacey blends into the crowd to the extent that you don't notice her until its too late .... <coughs> Kashara earned point over Lacey that year because one is a blender and the other isn't <coughs>

 

As great as a lyrical dancer Lacey is but she does blend totally at times.

Lacey was a solid DCC but doesn’t make for very interesting television. And that would be a-okay in my book! Normally I would think that would really only impact her social media footprint, but she does have 50k followers. Wonder what it was before she started dating someone with a higher profile? 
 

50 yard line Kelcey had a decent following, but once she started dating Brodie she skyrocketed too. He used to be well over a million followers, but seems to have lost some popularity lately.  Might be content driven tho, hard to keep the followers happy when you can’t travel, etc. like you used to. 
 

Social Media is so interesting to me, and can be a very solid revenue source for many of these ladies if they hit the right magic of CMT screen time, likability and appealing content.

Right...if anything, I would think that the amount of screen time is related to how poorly someone performed in training camp and/or if they had other issues throughout the years. The show tends to focus more on the struggles, and standouts tend to not get that much screentime. 

I haven’t watched any of them, but I’m surprised that Kashara’s is shorter than Lacey’s. She (Kashara) was on screen a lot during her third year, whereas I never remember Lacey being featured much at all on the show. She was called out by Kelli has having one of the best solos several seasons, but otherwise, I don’t remember a lot of airtime.

What does Lacey's husband do? I am not familiar with it.

 

Lacey doesn't stand out, however good a dancer she is. If you get her to dance with Holly Powell, Erica, Jenna,Nicole Hamilton (for example) and then the rest of the other good dancers in the squad who are blenders. The blenders won't catch my eye but Holly/Jenna/Erica/Nicole would because of their power and their dancing to make you watch them over everyone else. Theres nothing wrong with being a solid dancer but if you want to make it you need that power and that "shine" to make it big.

Exactly! He flirted with the NFL but never got picked up.  But star position at two very large football schools and very keyed in to the Tim Tebow demographic. Not famous by any stretch but most college football fans would know his name and it’s enough for over 100k followers on insta, verified account and influencer money.

Yes that Erica. She catches my eye more than Lacey. I personally think Lacey is a better dancer than Kashara or Erica but Lacey  doesn't do alot to wow me. I think Erica maybe full of tricks and not as powerful as Nicole hamilton or Holly for example but she stands out more than Lacey does for me. But thats my opinion on it.

Now that is one spoilt brat. I remember Lacey Minchew and her panel interview first and second time around. Even her sister sounded a bit more sincere (not totally but came off a bit better than her sister) in my opinion, especially the first time around.

 

I think Lacey Minchew was spoilt than Lacey and her actions a few weeks ago. What I remember of her was her attitude was when questioned about her pagent title and her reply was "well that is my first and main priority". I never got why those two was invited into tcc after finals. I remmeber Kelli was pissed when she said those two pulled out of tcc because of their pagent duties and that they took 2 people's spot and I just thought "so why take them on Kelli, you knew they were in pagents, you knew they have their titles and duties that clashes with tcc that year". I wouldnt have taken them into tcc. I'd have cut them at finals or even at the first round. I can understand why they took them to finals, to question their pagent titles etc, which knowing Kelli is all fair and well for her and her actions.

 

What I and we all think we should do, we all know, with Kelli is most likely to be the complete opposite any good manager (or someone with half a brain) would do

It annoyed me when they took the Minchew sisters. It annoyed me even more whenever Kelli accuses someone of "taking someone's spot" because that is not what happened. Though, in this case I can give her a pass, since the Sisters shouldn't have auditioned until they were done with their pageant duties, but as you said, Kelli also could have just not taken them knowing they had pageant duties. I think Kelli just got excited about having a reigning pageant queen on the roster. Kelli likes to collect titles. 

Kelli acts like it is some deep betrayal if a girl makes it into camp and realizes she's in way over her head and bows out gracefully, rather than waiting for Kelli to cut her. That always bothered me. I think it takes guts to accept that your dream job is really too much for you and pulling out rather than wasting everyone's time on something you now know you can't do. 

I do remember how forking pissed Judy was at Minchew when she came back the second time. I am surprised she didn't bitch slap Kelli when she said Minchew was in.

I doubt she is. Apparently her and her husband have postponed their reception until the spring of 2021, and I doubt she would want to be pregnant for that. (I for one am excited for that thunderstruck performance!)

When they do start a family I bet she will be a good mom, she seems very sincere and to come from a close knit and loving family.
