All Past Seasons of the Late Lamented Show

I never got why she was selected for Dancing with the Stars btw. Probably because she was so  cruelly dumped and humiliated on national tv, making her ‘famous’ thus interesting for the show.

She most definitely got onto DWTS because when she was dumped and humiliated, there was a huge outcry from fans who thought she'd been done dirty (rather than the fact that the bachelor was forced to choose and after making a snap decision had second thoughts.) so ABC basically threw her a bone by putting her on DWTS. I'm sure the only benefit of her being a dcc was that she had some moderate dance experience but I don't think that was really a factor at all, as dtws pretty much focused completely on her time on Bachelor. 

I had watched both her season of Bachelor and DWTS and was surprised later on to find out she'd been a DCC.

Yep that book. It was such a dull read I didn't remember her name LOL (bought it on amazon kindle, read it, so badly written, returned it and requested a refund from Amazon for it. If I'm being honest the book was that bad that she actually made the scholz sisters AND MRS's books look that good and I don't remember anything written in it apart from what I said in previous my post LOL in my opinion)

Season 7 (2012) Kelli: "The kickline is a dealbreaker because we do it at every performance, and we can't have the girls be mid-field on the 50-yard line and then a couple wave goodbye and run off because they don't have good kicks."

Unless your name is Cassie, who clearly runs off at about 2:24 to avoid the kickline.  What, no goodbye wave?

Kelli and Judy definitely have one standard for those close to them and another standard for the rest of the team.

However, in Cassie's defense, exiting off a stage is a little more subtle than if she had run off to the sidelines in AT&T stadium to avoid the kick line. I honestly wouldn't have noticed her exiting in that video if I wasn't looking for it.

[dariafan]

It wasn’t as noticeable as in season 2 with loni and Kelli jo 😂

[RedDelicious]

I finally put it together that Loni looked exactly like the Cherry Pie girl.

This video of the DCC 60th anniversary half time show popped up in my YouTube suggestions. 60th anniversary halftime show

It has people from past seasons dancing. 
 

if this isn’t the right forum, sorry.

Bobbi Brown

[rose711]

This popped up too - a telethon performance with the dancing so much simpler than today

Telethon dancing for cancer with Monty Hall (?)

maybe the 70s

they do a dance to the intro dance of a chorus line but these people may not be cheerleaders. It’s too fuzzy for me to tell.

Actually Bobbie Jean Brown, but yes 😊 I didn't think most people on here would be old enough to remember her! Except that she was on Ex-Wives of Rock with Sharise (formerly) Neil and Athena Lee a few years ago. She also wrote Dirty Rocker Boys which reads like trash, and yet...I read it 😬

I remember her as well as the original video.  Wasn't she and Tawny Kitaen (from many a Whitesnake video) the go-to girls for video vixens in the late 80's and early 90's or am I mis-remembering things?

That was very low energy for me. Perhaps it was the slow music but I didn't see any extra sparkle not even from Whitney...

Also, kind of feeling they shouldn't do all the ass shaking in front of men who are so far away from their sig others...

My biggest criticism about Cassie exiting the stage is that she's clearly not up to standards if she cannot do the kick line.  I get that cheerleaders get injured (and she had major issues with her knee that year - a whole separate complaint that she was even allowed on the team), but she needed to step back and either not perform or let an alternate sub in.

I'm not sure is this was the USO tour she injured her knee on (as she described in her talking head in Season 7), but either way, she shouldn't have been allowed on the stage.  But NO, they'll do everything they can to showcase Cassie on a coveted USO tour and give her opportunities that almost no other cheerleader would get.

One thing I have learned from having Pluto on in the background is Kelli’s pep talks are terrible. I don’t know how the girls ever kept a straight face when Kelli told them to get out there and “bust ass”. Ah, Kelli, that doesn’t mean what you think it means 💨

Wow she won both ROTY and VOTY ?

She really did seem like a great veteran. (if I was a rookie I would've wanted to be in her group)

I remember her saying at the end of season 14 "I feel like a proud mama bear" and I loved her since.

It was when Danielle was called into the office. Kelli told her she was almost not picked for TC but then they changed their minds. Pretty sure she told she had to bust ass to make it back.

Oh for sure - I remember that scene. I just can’t believe bust ass is her choice of words!

ETA: I’m not sure if it means the same elsewhere but I’ve always understood “bust ass” to mean passing gas 😳 I remember gross boys saying that in college. That’s why I can’t believe it when those words are spoken by Kelli of all people.

That's a new one to me. I realize there's so many slang terms people use to call passing gas. My brother worked with a guy who called it buck snort.

Heather was amazing! She had such a sweet vibe!

I’m actually surprised not to see Jenn Amburn as vet of the year since Kelli liked her so much. So maybe it is really true that it’s just the squad’s decision and not K&J? (We’ve often questioned that) 
What are the nominations based on? Is it their dancing or commitment? Personality? If it’s the first two, I would actually have expected Jenna on the list too.

I'd have said dancing is irrelevant for the most part, apart from maybe McKenzie winning last year as she stepped up for some show group performances when she wasn't even on it.

I'd say it's mostly about being a great teammate and supporting each other. As a vet, it can often go to someone who's been a leader but without a title.

HAHAHAH another meaning is falling, tripping, but like, exaggerated and extreme, sometimes where people end up injured lol.

Yes I know it that way too!  You might be the same age as me if 93 is your HS graduation year 😉 I feel like bust ass is a very 90s colloquialism.

Kitty says "bust your ass (work hard, hustle)" and Kelli says "bust ass (pass gas, trip and fall)".

And with Kelli it makes me laugh EVERY time I see it. It will never not mean gas to me (mostly because I have the humor of a middle school boy).

I had Pluto on in the background last night where Kitty was working with little Cathleen (hit it hard, BAM! hit it harder, BAM! SCREEEM!!) and she definitely uses "bust your ass".

And with that, toot toot, beep beep I'm going to bust on out of here 😆

I just watched this scene on Pluto. Kelli says "bust your ass" to Danielle. It was subtle, almost like she was rolling her words together, but it was definitely not "bust ass."

I had to ask because there were 3 Emily's that were in TC in various seasons. Emily Claire, Emily Roslyn, and Little Emily. Little Emily was the one who Kelli called timid and looking defeated. I think she was told she was underweight during uniform fittings.

I was watching S9 on Pluto a while back and noticed that both Emily Roslyn (who had been cut from training camp in S8) and Courtney (the finalist who had been in Bring It On the Musical in S8) were at auditions.  Now I can't remember if I saw them at semi-finals or at finals but I always think it's interesting when we don't get any acknowledgement of someone re-auditioning, especially when they got a lot of focus the year before.

They do this so much. Marie from season 6 comes to mind and Lacey from season 12.  It could be they chose not to be interviewed at subsequent tryouts, or it could be the MTT producers just went a different direction with the final editing. It really begs the question how many re-audition and we don't even get to see a glimpse of? That is the part I am super curious about.

I had Pluto on this morning while I was getting ready and it was the Mexico photo shoot with the bootleg Victoria’s Secret fashion show. I never noticed this before but when they are deliberating over the calendar pics, the sticker is still on the lens of Judy’s readers 😆

[ShutterbugCAM]

Watching Season 8 on Pluto. All these girls tried out that year, and NONE made it to Training Camp that year.

Melissa Wallace
Kelsey Lowrance
Stephanie Larson
Alexis Peterson
Auto Amy
Kelli Quinn Sullivan
Breelan
Ashley Hancock (TCC Season 14. I know she didn't make the team, but still notable since she came back years later after being with the Mavs for a while).

I probably missed some, too. It's crazy to me sometimes all the girls they pass up on. They're lucky some superstars like Melissa and Kelli even come back. Those could have been huge loses (for the DCC) had they just decided not to try out again.

Was Ashley on the Mavs when she auditioned in season 8?  I heard Mallory (the Mavs director) would not let the girls audition for the DCC because they were still under contract with the Mavs. They would have to retire in order to audition for another team. There was one year where Kelli Quinn Sullivan didn't audition for the DCC because she was on the Mavs. She and another teammate, Jamie were cut at finals so they both auditioned for the Ice Angels and made the team.
