The way TCCs describe the critique they got on their dance in their talking heads always cracks me up.

Kelli: "You're really stiff"

TCCs be like (to camera): "They said I was just a teeny weeny itsy little bitty bit too stiff"

Malena was guilty of this many times, I felt.

His Instagram has toned down a lot recently and I wonder if someone said something to him about it. I know there was one woman calling him out on doing her dirty last year on it. He posted Lots of pics of partying and drinking on boats with bikini clad women and a few cheerleaders in the past (Schram was one I believe) He thinks he’s Dan Blizerian lol. Ask around DFW, it’s no big secret. 

💯 

just listen to him on that podcast. I feel like need to take a shower. Yuck.

I’ve never listened to the podcast but not surprising . I always thought it was ironic he was the one schooling the cheerleaders on social media etiquette yet some comments he makes on his own social media are sleazy. “If I don’t know you in real life, you are not my fb friend” apparently he doesn’t apply that rule to cat calling at women on Instagram 🤷‍♀️

Who is everyone’s favorite TCC that never made the squad and why? Aside from Meghan of course, for telling K&J where to go.  Haha

Mine was Karissa Laynea (or however you spell it).  I just thought she was adorable, I was sad she got cut.  I had always hope she would try out again.  I googled and looks like she’s a lawyer now and getting married 😁

Victoria Brown (?) season 2. Cut due to weight. She was a really great dancer it seemed. I don’t think she ever auditioned again
 

sorry can’t find a picture of her. She had long curly brown hair. Similar to Brandi Kilby.

I'm so upset 😭 I've missed the first episodes of season 8 every single time. I assumed s8 would start today but when I came back it was on the 4th episode. Missed it again wtf

Does anyone have some sort of "guide" to when the episodes come out? This guessing game aint working for me

No.  I mean, I think it basically is supposed to go seasons 1 to 12.  It seems like they should just program the computer once and things would be fine. But then episodes or seasons skip.  So I guess the Pluto monkeys are up to mischief. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[pinkandsparkly13]

I tuned in last weekend at like 6pm or so and it was on the last episode of season 3. Then they showed seasons 4 and 5. Season 5 ended at like 1 or 2 am and they started showing season 1 instead of going to 6! So they are weird sometimes. Idk why.

So many!  Karissa, Kamie Rachel Buckmaster, Grace Sells.

What's pissing me off is that they don't show the Swimsuit calendar episode from Season 7.  They skip it.  Why??!?!?!

Karissa did audition the next season after her cut but didn't make it back to TC. Her solo was kind of bad compared to the first one she did. Kelli said she was making the DCC moves look bad.

Well BeanA8 didn't ask but the quote was in her reply.

I don't know if I remember my favorites, but I wantedKami (confused on how to spell it) that had absolutely no memory but really tried her very best and didn't act entitled to make it.  She went on to get a masters in something or other and got on with her life.  I liked her even though she wasn't DCC good.  She was just so tickled to be there.

Are you referring to Kaime O Teeter who was brought in after the Minchew sisters quit?  She has been married for 5 years and expecting her first baby.  She's a host of a sports news show and a realtor. She has an IG and Facebook (Kaime Stroot).

Wow! Watching Season 4 and Kelli just cut Margaret Martinez because she wasn’t ‘camera ready!’ Ouch. Basically, I would take that as you’re not pretty enough. She made fun of Margaret’s smile...I think she had a gummy smile. Margaret was poised and professional after she was cut. I feel bad for her though. As long as this show is on, she’ll be seen as the girl who wasn’t ‘camera ready (aka...not pretty enough).’ That’s hard....could really cause a person to have such low self esteem. I think it would of been better to not bring her into TC....

Kelli doesn't have a problem with gummy smiles anymore seeing a certain DCC has one.

I also think the stick-straight thing they did to Loni looked really bad, she styled her own hair much nicer IMO.

You are so right .... watching the earlier season ... why they considered them makeovers is beyond me ... some they should have just left them alone LOL!! I will go further some so called "makeovers" like Alyssa season 6 ... I keep wondering what exactly did he do because I couldnt tell 🤣 she looked exactly the same to me

"Camera ready" doesn't mean she isn't pretty enough, it means she's not photogenic enough...big difference.

Well, she was making fun of her mouth and the way it curved down....something to that extent. Kelli didn’t find her to be photogenic at all.  I took it as she didn’t think she was pretty. Maybe I misunderstood what she was saying.

I hope so, because I always thought "not camera ready" was their "nice" way of saying "not pretty enough."

Watching Season 7 on Pluto - one of my favorite seasons (Season 2 I love also) anyway its the episode where its just Judy and Kitty Carter.  Jessica is surprised to be called into the office and when Kitty calls her out for performing off and on...so she teared up and cried ... I always felt that Jessica was a good dancer  - not a wow and that Kelly just really liked her look can we say Simone (Ugh 🙄).  She strikes me as someone that would have no problem tattling to stay in good graces.

They trimmed and put in some highlights?  Low lights ?   They didn’t do much !

[dariafan]

I am an awful human being, and freely admit it... I do t like Chelsea’s rookie season cause of all her stories.  First is the one about her cousin I’m sorry you lost a loved 1 so early, but what had that got to do with you trying out ?  Then in her panel interview it was her dad saw the dcc in Bosnia   Just story story story 

[PattiD4DCC]

Also watching Season 7 and after Jasmine's office visit when she is told she needs to take dance lessons, she is upset because she says she doesn't have the funds to pay for technique classes. 

This reminded me, did we ever get an answer to the much bigger funding problem of paying for medical issues? Does DCC help pay for medical care for injuries sustained during training camp?  There are lots of other examples, but I'm thinking of Rachel Lunsford who had knee surgery and then eight months of physical therapy.  I'm seeing major dollar signs there!💲💲💲

I'm sure they do.  I remember when Deryn had her injury they talked about her going to a Cowboys doctor...I don't remember but I think they said the same about Rachel.

Deryn and Rachael both went to the Cowboy’s doctor (Dr Cooper).  However, as far as who is responsible for payment (regarding that hefty doctor bill, including physical therapy), I’m not really sure. 

[ByTor]

I'm pretty sure Shelly told us that yes, the team pays, the girls are not responsible.

It is difficult to beat the glam factor of Ogden, but because it is seriously the favorite song of one of my favorite posters, you can also substitute B-Y-T-O-R! 😜

Season 3? I think is on now. I remember this vet vs rookie football game sooo well, I have seen this episode a hundred times 10 years ago 😂 

Its so odd how these episodes seem like they were soooo long ago but it really wasn’t. It feels like early 2000s but it’s like 2009

Watching Mackenzie Spicegood tell Sydney to use ankle weights and then down the road Brittany Evans tell Mackenzie Lee to use them for her kicks and Kelli telling her not to ..... ahhh the benefits of constant binging and rewatching

[Spooky]

Watching season 4 now; have never seen it before. Those Minchew sisters were something else; so shitty they took two spots (even though Kaime was brought back to fill one of them).

Love seeing Jackie Bob as a newbie! She's always so poised and confident; it was odd to see her learning and unsure of herself. I just adore her.

Got a good chuckle out of the training unis; so plain in the beginning and now they're so blinged out. CMT started writing big checks for fake crystals by the time I started watching in 2015.

Judy was so much more vocal back then; doing counts, giving corrections and critiques etc., sometimes it feels like she's Kelli's PA. 

The lady that opens the door before office chats scares me. Cheryl is so much more pleasant. 

Pet peeve: if they cut girls for not knowing NFL hierarchy, they should cut girls for not saying Dallas CowboyS cheerleader. Does my head in everytime I hear it.  Don't know if I read it here or it was on the show, but I recall someone saying "you're not cheering for one cowboy"! 

[Agent Gully]

Look what hubby brought me tonight! Said he had heard the commercial so many times that when he saw them he bought them. So, the ad worked for someone, lol!

[ByTor]

OMG @Agent Gully that is awesome!  That commercial makes me never want to buy them just to be stubborn...I mean, why did that mean candy destroy that poor tree's hand?  And they can stuff their sorries in a sack!

Don’t know if you got to see when they announced the team, but it’s my favorite team announcement. The girls literally had no idea she was announcing the team. They were all so surprised! Season 4 was my favorite season. Lovely group of ladies who could dance well! 

I think Jordan Baum (season 3) was asked in her interview if it was the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. Can’t remember if she said she didn’t know or if she said Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. I honestly had never thought about it until I saw that episode. I just know she didn’t answer correctly but she still made the team.

Chelsea also said she'd stay "forever" LOL.  Little did she know!

ETA:  How STUPID was she to be a smart ass about her weight gain with CMT filming?  She bitches on camera how it is not maintainable, and said the snotty "not fat, heavy" (which got a chuckle from Danielle, I wonder if that little moment made Kelli tell her that she was supposed to have been cut that year). Then she yells about "the fatties" in the parking lot.  After rewatching that mess I don't really blame Kitty for snitching to Kelli.

Chelsea, Danielle and others (cannot recall names) also did a video and posted it of them sitting in bed eating chips singing some fattie song.  Don't know if they got in trouble for that or not.

So interesting to hear a different take.  While Chelsea's actions were definitely dumb, I loved that series of scenes because it really exposed Kelli and co. for exactly how backward their standards were/are.

Being put on weight warning for looking like any of those young women is pretty much asking them to engage in ED's, and all of Chelsea's snotty little comments were dead on.  She was just stupid for voicing them, but she wasn't wrong.

Good nutrition can be very challenging in light of the many delicious items out there, but if my job depended on it, I don't think following a paleo style diet and minimizing my booze intake is that freaking awful.  Starving oneself?  No.  But following a 1500-1800 calorie a day diet full of protein, healthy fats, fruits and veggies is an achievable goal for most of us IF WE WANT IT.  And if you've got more money than time, Snap Kitchen (and My Fit Foods before Snap basically killed them) is a big help.

Eating disorders are very serious business, and I know many women engage in disordered eating...I'm no different.  But in today's world, it's easier than every to not eat like a trash can.  She called them out on their shit, and some were adults and took steps to fix it and other whined to the camera.  Chelsea is the worst.
