I started watching at season 12 and was blown away by all the drama. I was expecting a SYTYCD caliber show that focused on just the dancing. I watched season 13 because I thought that the Jenna, Holly, and Erica drama was just an anomaly. Then came all the VK drama. I signed up for a dance competition not Real Housewives. To answer your question, yes, I personally would stop posting if the show was not renewed. 2 Link to comment

dreamcatcher February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 On 2/21/2019 at 1:04 AM, hannahbanana said: The rule isn't in place to protect inexperienced girls from pro athletes, it's to protect all of the women from being pimped out (&, in a small way, to protect the Cowboys organization from such sexual harassment claims). The reasoning was, "if they aren't allowed to date a player, they can't be forced into a relationship with a player they don't want." Is it perfect, no? But it's something they came up with in an effort to protect the women from pimping out/sexual harassment (& the organization being hit with such claims). The only reason punishment comes into the mix is because they have to enforce the rule somehow. In an ideal world, the rule wouldn't have to exist. In a slightly less ideal world, both parties would be held equally accountable. In reality, the low (wo)man on the totem pole gets the crappy end of the deal. I’m sorry but how saying that girls can’t date players they actually like is going to stop the owner from pimping them out to his friends or whoever else he wants to? That doesn’t make any sense. And he is the owner, do you think a rule a subordinate made would stop him? On 2/21/2019 at 2:44 AM, TexasBorn said: Seriously. @scorpio1031 Do you @sleepyjean have a copy of the DCC non-fraternizing policy? In the Daughter's of the Sexual Revolution Documentary, SM stated that she had to kick out several of Jerry's drunk friends from the rehearsal studio. I disagree with the opinion that the rule is archaic. It protects women from having to be demoralized in court and in public opinion when there's a hearsay situation between a cheerleader and a wealthy powerful man with wealthy powerful friends. E.G. Harvey Weinstein. I mean, look at how we, who are mostly women, lambasted Holly and Jenna when they had consensual relationships with players. Again, how does this rule protect the girls exactly? They are adults, they can choose to date whomever they want to date. Being assaulted is a risk whether you date a player or anyone else for that matter, so maybe they should have a “no dating whatsoever” rule as dccs. Link to comment

LaurelleJ February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 (edited) The rule of no fraternizing I believe is less about protecting the girls and more about protecting the integrity of both brands, the players and the cheerleaders. There are plenty of opportunities for both groups to meet dating partners, but if its known that the two can mix without penalty, the amount of girls trying out for the team just to meet a player MIGHT go up, and SOME guys might think its fun to date as many cheerleaders as they can. It's just best for business to keep them both separate. There are enough scandals without adding a singles dating aspect to the players and cheerleaders. I'm sure Kelli and Judy don't want the reputation of grooming young beautiful girls that cheer on the sidelines to be available for the affection of the players. That rule helps to ensure that the girls trying out are trying out for the right reasons, and not to find a potential rich husband. That said, if a cheerleader, knowing the rules, meets a player and decides that he is worth it, can leave the team to pursue a relationship with him. It is not on the same plane as pimping the cheerleaders out, which is disgusting. Edited February 23, 2019 by LaurelleJ 1 12 Link to comment

M1977G February 24, 2019 Share February 24, 2019 I really do not want to see Malena make training camp again. It would be annoying to me and cruel to her. I don't think she'll ever have the skills to make the team's level of performance. The videos I've seen of her in prep classes show no improvement whatsoever. She makes choreo mistakes and is not a clean dancer. And one of my biggest pet peeves about her is her facials. When she does her open-mouthed smiling face (ie in episode 2 doing her solo at Kitty's), she looks surprised and cheesy and kind of vapid, and other times, her face is flat or looks like she's dying. I'm so glad that Heather O., Caroline, Molly, Jaylyn, and Rachel A are coming back! Amber may be a rough interviewee still, but she's a fantastic dancer and looks killer in the uniform. I'm also hoping for Bridget (who, alongside Daphne, I can see making it into or very close to the triangle this year), Lauren, Alexis, Cianna, and Khalyn (who, as I understand it, might be too injury-plagued, but I'd love to see her in the triangle). I easily can picture Maddie returning, because she's so young and clearly is so favored by TPTB, but I kind of hope she retires and I really, really hope they don't make her point. She's only cute half the time to me, and while I like that they take a range of looks and sometimes clearly value the whole person and performer over beauty, I think the point girl has to be photogenic and at least reasonably pretty. I agree that Gina sometimes looks like she needs a juicy burger and fries and that she gets "Joker-y" sometimes when she smiles, but she's more attractive and has at least some modicum of sex appeal, which Maddie does not really possess in my eyes. I'd far prefer Bridget or Daphne (or Heather O.) at point over Gina. As for what I want to see more of, maybe more Melissa Rycroft? I kid! I'd love to see a LOT more of what the group leaders and seconds do--leading rehearsals without K&J, maybe in meetings with each other to discuss who's excelling and who's struggling or needs to improve on what, etc. I loved the Where Are They Now segments and hope they (and the show!) continue. I also like getting alumni opinions on rookies; it's kind of insightful and encouraging and snarky at the same time. What I want to see less of? The Star and endless focusing on the same strugglers who can't say anything different or dance any better over the course of the season. I think they're doing a bit of a better job introducing us to more rookies the past couple of years, but we get so little about some of the rookies. For instance, Brianna, who was cut at finals the year before and seemingly rocked it at training camp last summer, hardly got any real screen time and I don't see why they blew the chance to have a stronger "comeback girls" story arc with Brenna and Brianna and went instead with following every breath Malena and VK took. 6 Link to comment

Don’t really see Lauren getting closer to triangle if she still can’t do a jump split. Also, triangle peeps are prominently featured. Lauren didn’t do calendar and probably won’t again. Love her, but ... Alexis is truly beautiful and not a great enough dancer to move up too far. Not nearly enough pop. Amber...gotta be able to put together an intelligent sentence to represent the brand. Great dancer, but no. Malena...emphatic no! Gina... best dancer, needs a slice of humble pie, not great facials, looking skeletal - what happened to that rockin bod? Great all-around triple threats — dance, poise when speaking, beauty... Heather, Tess, Kelli, Amy, Lexie, new Rachel, Daphne, Bridget. Also, Kahlyn, Lauren, and Tasha if they are returning and not injured. And Maddie and Cici if you like that look. 8 Link to comment

She’s universally loved by almost all the other girls, her dancing has always been strong, it seems like she’s articulate and poised. I can’t say that I believe she’s the most physically beautiful (that’s Alexis for me), but she is really all around the perfect DCC on the team right now. I’m glad she is returning.

She was the only one of the AAIAs who didn't make it to semi finals or finals (don't remember which one) last year. I hope she is! She’s so pretty! Link to comment

I don't think she'll ever have the skills to make the team's level of performance. The videos I've seen of her in prep classes show no improvement whatsoever. She makes choreo mistakes and is not a clean dancer. And one of my biggest pet peeves about her is her facials. When she does her open-mouthed smiling face (ie in episode 2 doing her solo at Kitty's), she looks surprised and cheesy and kind of vapid, and other times, her face is flat or looks like she's dying. I'm so glad that Heather O., Caroline, Molly, Jaylyn, and Rachel A are coming back! Amber may be a rough interviewee still, but she's a fantastic dancer and looks killer in the uniform. I'm also hoping for Bridget (who, alongside Daphne, I can see making it into or very close to the triangle this year), Lauren, Alexis, Cianna, and Khalyn (who, as I understand it, might be too injury-plagued, but I'd love to see her in the triangle). I easily can picture Maddie returning, because she's so young and clearly is so favored by TPTB, but I kind of hope she retires and I really, really hope they don't make her point. She's only cute half the time to me, and while I like that they take a range of looks and sometimes clearly value the whole person and performer over beauty, I think the point girl has to be photogenic and at least reasonably pretty. I agree that Gina sometimes looks like she needs a juicy burger and fries and that she gets "Joker-y" sometimes when she smiles, but she's more attractive and has at least some modicum of sex appeal, which Maddie does not really possess in my eyes. I'd far prefer Bridget or Daphne (or Heather O.) at point over Gina. As for what I want to see more of, maybe more Melissa Rycroft? I kid! I'd love to see a LOT more of what the group leaders and seconds do--leading rehearsals without K&J, maybe in meetings with each other to discuss who's excelling and who's struggling or needs to improve on what, etc. I loved the Where Are They Now segments and hope they (and the show!) continue. I also like getting alumni opinions on rookies; it's kind of insightful and encouraging and snarky at the same time. What I want to see less of? The Star and endless focusing on the same strugglers who can't say anything different or dance any better over the course of the season. I think they're doing a bit of a better job introducing us to more rookies the past couple of years, but we get so little about some of the rookies. For instance, Brianna, who was cut at finals the year before and seemingly rocked it at training camp last summer, hardly got any real screen time and I don't see why they blew the chance to have a stronger "comeback girls" story arc with Brenna and Brianna and went instead with following every breath Malena and VK took. I have to say, I agree 100%, with all of this. Thank you for putting into words what has been on my mind. 13 hours ago, Bennie said: Don’t really see Lauren getting closer to triangle if she still can’t do a jump split. Also, triangle peeps are prominently featured. Lauren didn’t do calendar and probably won’t again. Love her, but ... Alexis is truly beautiful and not a great enough dancer to move up too far. Not nearly enough pop. Amber...gotta be able to put together an intelligent sentence to represent the brand. Great dancer, but no. Malena...emphatic no! Gina... best dancer, needs a slice of humble pie, not great facials, looking skeletal - what happened to that rockin bod? Great all-around triple threats — dance, poise when speaking, beauty... Heather, Tess, Kelli, Amy, Lexie, new Rachel, Daphne, Bridget. Also, Kahlyn, Lauren, and Tasha if they are returning and not injured. And Maddie and Cici if you like that look. Agree to this too. 1 Link to comment

Heather + Gina (don’t think we’ll be spared, but if she gets Maddie’s place then she will be out of most frames so there’s that)+ Bridget for next year’s triangle! I know Bridget might be too junior for that but we need a brunette in the mix and I think Tess would be behind point due to her height, so what other option do we have?

Loves2Dance February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 Heather pissed off Kelly for doing God knows what, or not doing something since that is also her MO, so I 100% believe she does not have a snowball chance in heck at getting point or being in the triangle. Same with Alexis. Is she pretty? Yes. Can she dance? Sure. Is she a strong enough dancer for the triangle? No. If she were, she would already be there on looks alone. 6 Link to comment

They usually have one long weekend during TC. 2 Link to comment
PhillyFan February 26, 2019 Share February 26, 2019 I mean, I knew a couple of doctors who got married to each other in the middle of their grueling residency. If they can take a couple of days for a wedding, I don’t know why someone auditioning for a dance team can’t. It’s a tough process sure, but most people are super busy and still plan and carry out weddings. 4 Link to comment

EricaShadows February 26, 2019 Share February 26, 2019 (edited) I deleted the list with Kelli as "likely retiring" on it because, as people pointed out, it could be on a long weekend or during Rookie Week and I've been trying to keep the list for those who have confirmed retirement or that they are returning. Kelli could still return since 07/20 is on a Saturday so she could get married during Training Camp and have the honeymoon after Training Camp.
