If you have Apple whether iPhone or iPad or Apple TV, you know you can just go buy it on iTunes? That’s what I did.   I made a burner email and made a burner account on iTunes, stuck a USA address on it, bought some US iTunes gift card and bought the seasons.   But if you only have iPhone don’t do it if you don’t have either iPad or Apple TV as well as iPhone just because Apple has this weird rule that on iPhones you can only switch to a different account that is in a different

Taylor’s kicks were so bad and she had something going on with a jaw alignment, overbite issue. If they had kept her, I would have thrown something at the tv. I would never of given her a spot in training camp.

She was annoying as hell.  She did not seem like a DCC at all to me, other than being attractive in a generic way.

I can't even watch that episode or I will have to buy a new TV because I THREW MY SHOE AT IT!!!!  What staged bull shit crap was that?  You know there was a backroom meeting where Char/Kelli said we have to get rid of her because of _________ (I have no idea why, she never was the most gorgeous DCC but it's not like she got worse looking than when she made the team.  And dear Brenda jumped up and said "I'll create some drama and make it happen so you guys will keep me as a judge!  I'd just love a chance to kiss your asses!!!!".  

Lol.  I really didn't understand what was so bad about her dress.

Just binge watched some of the earlier seasons and I really don't get the love for Meghan Flaherty here. All 3 of her seasons, especially #5 she came across as rude and entitled. I don't recall anyone else being called into the office for being rude and unfriendly to the others in training camp like she was her first year as a TCC. Her talking head moment during #5 auditions she commented that she did not know anyone else brought into TC a third time that didn't make the team so she thought she was a shoo-in.

 

I never thought she should have been a DCC.  She wasn't a strong dancer and she seemed socially awkward and very hard to understand when she spoke.  (Not trying to make fun of her, but K&J have always insisted that the girls have to well-spoken).  

But I do think she was right to call out K&J.  I think she thought they brought her back JUST to  cut her, for TV drama.  I don't know if that was the case, but it did seem pointless to bring her back when she had never seemed to be a strong candidate in the first place, and hadn't shown massive improvement as a dancer or anything.

Now I  remember.  Kim  was a former Mavs dancer. She was the one who helped Tessa when she fell and hurt her leg in TC. 

That scene upsets me because they have a girl who is clearly seriously injured, and they call up one of the other candidates because she works for a physical therapist?  Shouldn't they have actual medical staff on hand for rehearsals?  And most tv shows have paramedics on set as well, don't they?

They have athletic trainers on call (not necessarily in the room during rehearsal but in the complex) for any rehearsals and performances.  I don't know why we didn't really see the trainer(s) for that particular injury, but we've seen them many times in different seasons.  

And I totally agree about Meghan, she never should have been asked back for a third time.  I wasn't impressed with her in the first two seasons.  She was pretty but there's no way they could have had her do any kind of media appearance.

Sometimes I wonder if the media/appearance thing is a liiiitle bit exaggerated by Kelli. Meghan seemed to. be fine with the Stars.

Well, Kelli seems to expect the girls to be consulted by high-ranking politicians, heads of state and the like who expect to hold in-depth conversations about esoteric political issues and scholarly debates about hot-button issues.   It's not like the bulk of the people the girls are meeting are regular, everyday people who just want to talk about regular, everyday things. 

I think more girls would pass the interview phase if Kelli actually had GOOD questions to through at them.   The occasional curveball is okay to see how a girl thinks on her feet, but the interview questions seem so random and esoteric, no wonder some of the girls flunk (especially if Kelli wants to have a reason to dump them).

What are your favorite and least favorite seasons? 

My favorite seems to be season 10, partly because of weird nostalgia for 2015, even though I didn't watch any of this show until 2019. I also liked the rookies here. And I thought a lot of the cuts were likable, too. 

My least favorite (ignoring the super early seasons because I don't care for them/watch them as much) is either season 7 or 11. Season 7 annoys the hell out of me, and I can't really pinpoint exactly why. I think because it goes on FOREVER, and I don't care about anything that happens after the team announcement. I don't care about swimsuit calendar shoots and fashion shows, bleh. And a number of the rookies were unlikable or meh to me. Like Teri and Chelsea. And the team was expanded for the likes of them, lol.

Season 11 is really weirdly boring to me for some reason. It rubs me the wrong way. Like, when it's playing on Pluto, I'll choose something else to put on in the background, and idk why lmao

I like season 8 - It was nice to see Jinelle make it, I liked Morgan (I know, I know LOL), and it was the season of "the fatties."

I'm also not a fan of season 7, also because it is sooooo long! And that monotone cheer guy's voice (5-6-7-8) & nonstop practice for the breast cancer halftime...ugh! It wasn't too long ago I realized that was a certain legacy's final year, so of course they had to drag the season out as well as showcase her special acrobatic talent (not sarcasm, I do think she was good at it).

I was also not a fan of Season 7. Cassie getting all of those undeserved opportunities just rubbed me wrong, and I also disliked Chelsea and didn't enjoy her extended screen time. Season 12 and beyond never make it to my binge-watching nights either.

Season 6 is my absolute favorite.  The Taylor drama wasn't great, but it was entertaining at times.  I just loved how big the rookie class was and how many great gals there were to root for.

My least favorite season is probably Season 5. It felt like every TCC was cut that year. Only 8 rookies, most of which didn't last more than 2 Seasons (only Nicole Bulcher & Lauren Williams did more than 2 years). The squad was in full rebuild mode after that disaster, which led me into 1 of my 2 favorite seasons.

Season 6, and Season 13 are my 2 favorite seasons. Season 6 was just so much more entertaining to me than Season 5, and had memorable moments and TCCs that we still talk about often. Season 13 had probably my favorite rookie cast (Season 10 is a close 2nd) and was full of drama/action IMO.

Honorable mention for favorite goes to Season 10. Great rookie class with some superstars (KaShara, Holly) and was a pretty exciting season, with memorable (to me) TCCs.

My least favorite season is tied between season 13 because of the intense focus on Victoria and Meredith (and Dayton to a lesser degree) and season 14 because of Hannah's and Brennan's cuts. 

My favorite season is probably Season 2 because of the strong rookie class AND it has some of my favorite girls ever to be on the squad.

Oh, yes. I agree! 
Seven sucks! For all of the reasons already posted about. 

I do like Season 11 because it reminds me of my favorite season, which is 10,  but 10 is also my least watched season. I never seem to catch all of it on Pluto. We first meet Holly P. and Maddie. And they had rookies Megan C., Kashara, and Amy T. Now I need to rewatch with an analytical eye to see why 10 is such a good season above the others - the reason cannot simply be Megan B. and Anatomy and Physiology.

In 11, I do like seeing TCCs Heather O., and Tess. They weren't so good back then. I love catching brief clips of them looking like lost rookies.

Season 12 for me went from love to hate rather quickly. I started watching the show again in the middle of season 12, I think the episode leading up to Holly's resignation. And that was the season that got me watching the show again. I hate season 12 now. It's the one that I don't tune into on Pluto, it's an easy close the tablet, no thanks. I didn't know any spoilers back then, but I could tell both Alexandria and Kalyssa weren't going to work out. Alexandria for sure, once we saw her working on a house with her fiance, I am like, there is no way that girl is leaving Boston for Dallas. It's the focus on those two that probably irks me the most on re-watch. Also seeing clips of Tara. She was really good, only to be totally decimated by TPTB the following year and following Kitty's bitchy comment in Season 12 "Tara. She's boring. Go home Tara" and then look what happened. It's almost like they did storyline building for season 13 grasping at straws from stuff in season 12. Gross.

Season 12 when a particular choreographer came on with his girlfriend/assistant whatever she was, does anyone else think he was on drugs? The change in his appearance always shocked me particularly the very big, dark bags under his eyes and gaunt appearance. I don't want to name him bc i'm not trying to accuse anyone without knowing facts just always shocks me when he first comes on screen. Side note: Alexis trying to teach Savannah how to 'crunk' always cracks me up...

My favorite is Season 7. I base my favorites on how much I liked the rookie class, and that is my favorite rookie class. I do agree that it went on pretty long however.

Season 8 or the one where Meredith made it are my least favorites. Season 8 had way too much Morgan and Kaitlin, and that group of rookies is generally unremarkable to me. Similarly, I find the rookie group who made it with Meredith to be rather blah

All this talk about Gina & her rookie season is on Pluto now.

Seeing Taryn get cut & have her told "you're one locker away from making this team" that is crushing & we know "nobody should have their dreams crushed---taylor" Taryn was just absolutely beautiful & there's no reason she should've been cut, IMO. That had to crush her knowing she was number 37. To be that close & yet so far... She was a fave of mine!

Taryn and Brennan should have made the team that year because they were SO good and a few others . . . . weren't.  Also, Taryn is the one that Kelli REALLY wanted to reaudition but Taryn was like "Nope.  You had ONE shot at getting me on the squad and you blew it.  I'm not going back for another round."

I just noticed that Taryn and Lauren (the nurse) look a LOT alike.

Maybe the 3 that left the team ( Alexandra, Milan, Kalyssa)? I assume she's referring to the 2017 squad.

Christina should never have made the squad and I always wondered why Alexandria even bothered to audition given that her entire life was back east.  Granted she might not have been done dancing, but there were other options in her area that would have been better fits for her, her family, and whatever else she had going.

I know this is always an unpopular season but loved season 9. Yes waaayy too much focus on Breelan/ Caila, but also some great rookies like Melissa W, Lacey, Erica (at the time), and Mary!  Also loved Courtney from that season too and it was just a fun season to me.   Plus some classic Vivianne  and her lucid dream. 
 

Didn’t love season 8!

I'm so glad Taryn said no to reauditioning and knew her worth! She is just so pretty and how have I never realized how much she and Lauren look alike, so funny!

There was an NFL cheerleader (or former NFL cheerleader) who posted here last year who was saying that all teams generally have a certain set of "looks" they like, and they regularly swap out old-new with similar looks (for example, a younger blonde was "replacement Brennan"). All that to say, that's probably why Taryn didn't make it, looks like Lauren and Lauren was better.

I totally agree on both points! At the very least, I’m shocked Christina wasn’t cut in S13 or 14 when she botched the interview (something about what the star on their uniform stands for??). 
 

I’m not sure about how much she uses them now, but Alexandra used to heavily use pictures of her short time with the DCC to advertise her dance classes. It struck me as odd since she’s teaching in MA, I’d think that her experience with the patriots is more marketable here, especially since she didn’t even cheer in Dallas past September or so. I get that DCC is a good marketing tool to get people in the door, but it just rubbed me the wrong way.

Christina was soooo dry. Not a single shot of her dancing has ever impressed me. She just needed to hang it up, but I guess she got what she wanted after years of trying, so good for her. I've never seen any spark or pop in her. I truly don't get it and never have.

Yeah, the Alexandria thing was weird. Maybe she thought it'd be worth it but then it turned out it just wasn't. But it's strange to have a whole segment about how you're building a house and life with your boyfriend in Boston while you're running off to Texas after 4 previous years of pro cheerleading already. 

I always found it ironic how after the team announcement she's like, 'I finally get to call all these women my sisters!' but she's the one who's been followed by the infamous comment that she or a friend of her made about how the DCC are nothing like a family or something. Ha.

I shop at Belk.com frequently...I've seen some of K & J's stuff, but my taste is usually very different...mostly, I think, they dress too young for their current ages...just too trendy, rather than fashionable and modern.

I bought my nephew some shirts from Belk LOL. I don't think it's such a bad store, not a whole lot different than Macy's. Sorry you couldn't get the top, it's really nice...I guess Kelli bought the last one 😂

I wonder what happened during the season (season 5) that so many retired   And Olivia s got cut at finals because of the Princess.  Watching the episode where a bunch of vets and Stephanie were called in for weight warning and curious if they just didn’t want to deal with it anymore or if they couldn’t keep the weight down?  And calling our Meghan sharpe for needing bigger shorts at cameos.  I just don’t understand Kelli sometimes

Rumor had it (although I don't believe it) that Kaime bragged that she didn't practice because she knew she was going to make it, since Kelli was correcting an error by taking her into training camp late.

I don't believe it either. I see that rumor treated like gospel, which is weird and annoying, since nothing that we saw of Kaime would suggest she was like that
