Edit: I just reread what you wrote and I don’t think this is what you were asking so never mind.  But she was snarky 😂

When was her "fatties" comment? That's what I meant.

Someone asked about Tessa. She did re-audition after her ACL surgery the next year, but did not make it back to training camp. They were still doubtful about her flexibility. She had a stroke a few months later (a scary story because she was unable to move and was alone in her apartment for hours) but slowly recovered. She married a CMT crew member a year or two ago and I believe she’s pregnant. 

Oh cool.  That was me.  Wow, pregnant after a stroke?  Good for her!

If I see Good RX commercial one more time I’ll go crazy.

And Good Rx isn't that "good" a deal.  Same here about seeing it one more time!

Episode 1202:  Does anyone think when Kelli asked Jenna if she was ready to lead by example that she may have already found out about her and Holly's extracurricular activities ?  WHY do they show Kelli shutting off the lights in the studio at the end of the episodes?!

Watching Season 7 on Pluto.  Seeing Kitty  help Judy with office visits while Kelly was out  reminded me that Killy CAN be nice.  LOL she is really awful in groups, but the 1on1 she does really well. 😉 

If I was still dancing, I would 100% want Kitty to coach me and critique me . . . but I would really prefer not go though it in a group setting.  (I'm a wimp, I don't know how there hasn't been more tears on camera during some seasons).  

I think that 99% of the time she is completely right factually, but how she delivers it is terrifying.  Combining that with the pressure of training camp- I don't blame the candidates for looking faint when she walks in the door.

So watching season 1 ep 7  they are quizzing the girls and Kalli is up and cant answer about Bill Parcells ... the girls are trying to help her out and she tattles she hears whispering (?!?!?) Now Kelli calls them out for it ... great team mate 🙄 makes me think its a good thing she was not put on the squad .... she would have definitely been a spy for K&J and would be ratting them out for anything she deemed bad behavior

She knows her stuff, but her "critiques" don't always seem very helpful.  She says things like "you look like you have no idea what you're doing," without specifically telling the dancer what is off (toes?  feet?  arms?  Needs more pop?  Facial expressions?)   

And speaking of, I wish they would say "facial expressions" and not "facials."

He also butchered Sara Clay's, and chopped Kristen's bangs too short.

He seemed a little full of himself during season 7 with Danielle's hair Kelli called him testy ... I say he was being a** arms crossed and the daggers he was shooting at her when she brought in the colorist to get another opinion  ... glad there is someone else these past few seasons ... he has such a great sense of humor.

So season 2 they took 38 so two girls could alternate Brooke's spot since she was out all season ???? Sorry but she only had 1 year under her belt she should have been told to come back once knee healed and try out again ... this is special treatment staying on a squad and you didnt even cheer that whole season  🙄 At least Cassie had 4 years in and was on the mend at the start of training season her 5th year and proved herself ...yes people dont like her but put that against a 1 year anytime  .... apples and oranges ...

So when did they start riding the bus to the stadium season 4 the year of the new stadium .... just watching season 2 and looks like they made their way to the stadium on their own ...just curious

It was Season 4 - new stadium.  I'm assuming cause the stadium was further away from Texas Stadium, not enough parking under the building, easier on the girls, etc.  This video shows what it was like at the very first game - traffic wise.

It might be because Brooke had already made the squad for her second season and then blew out her knee during a show group performance.  Cassie was auditioning for her 5th year and didn't do well, and all returning vets are supposed to come back and perform like a veteran.  She also had surgery three months before auditions and the again at the start of football season.  So that might be another reason she was seen as having special treatment - she was always battling a knee injury and still allowed to be on show group, go on tours, etc when her knee never fully recovered.  I could be wrong but I think she also had to sit out kick line????  

Edited to add - people were also upset that she wasn't doing her rehab for the knee surgery.

Did you check the show's IMDB page?

Sorry I'm just now seeing this post.  That's a great idea and one I hadn't thought of until I saw this.  Thanks!

 

ETA - IMDB mostly lists former cheerleaders.  Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

changed some wording

Brandi Kilby didn't look like a "stripper" to me with her nails and hair. And I thought she seemed like a nice girl, which Kelli wasn't sure about. But I definitely didn't like her curly hair at all. Of course I've always preferred straight hair on girls for some reason. But I do like pretty curls too. Anyway, her transformation when they straightened her hair was amazing to me. She just got hot ha! I love her pics from when she was actually on the squad. She looked great. I thought she looked more average with her curly hair.

Who did Kenley Minchew go on to cheer for after bailing on DCC TC? Atlanta Falcons?

Kenley came back the next year (2010, season 5) and was shut out. She then auditioned for the  Mavs Dancers and was on the team for 2 seasons. A few years alter she was on the Falcons cheerleaders for 1 season.

Didn't they switch salons after that season? I love Danielle's hair. As a member of the curly hair club, I'm so jealous of hair like that. I also loved Ashton's, Kelsey L before she went blonde, Kelsi R, and Erica Jenkins. 

I liked Brandis curly hair. I keep my hair long and my curls arent as defined as hers are at that length.

I follow Brandi on IG and twitter. She hasn't straightened her hair since she left the DCC. When she was on the Laker Girls she kept it curly and still does. Seemed like a lot of work  just to be a DCC. Maybe that was the reason why she didn't audition again?

Rewatching season 6 and I just can't stand Taylor. At all. She seems like the kind of person that always has to ask the dumb question at the end of the meeting so we can't leave.

And the whole grocery thing... ugh. I get it. You want people to think you have the greatest genetics and can eat whatever. But grabbing 4 boxes of cereal and honey buns on a nutrition test????? At least pretend you take it seriously. 

And for someone who "practices" all the time, she sure didn't know any of the dances.

 

Sorry rant over. I worked with too many "Taylor" type personalities and it just made work difficult.

Yes, though I don't think Kelli or Kitty know the other definition of "facials" 😱😲 (my mom wouldn't). Also, it's still a common term in cheerleading- seen it on score sheets.

(I've watched since Season 1, and for many seasons did not know what Kelli meant by "she's a locker room favorite."  On my college and high school squads, that meant something . . . not so good.  I thought she was saying they were super sexy(?) since they have a non fraternization clause + Kelli meant it as a positive attribute.  Then I finally was watching one day, realized that couldn't even mean "super sexy" with who she was talking about, 💡 that she means "loved by all the cheerleaders."    I'm an idiot.)

I see. Yeah I could see that being a hassle having to straighten that all the time. I seem to recall a couple pictures of her with other former DCCs this past year where she had her hair straight

I ike this one she posted with her and the 2009 rookies then and now. She's has it straight in both pictures.

I thought Taylor seemed like one of those pains in the ass who run at the mouth too much, but I will defend her here.  Jay specifically told them not to put things in their carts that they know he would approve of, but rather to put in their carts what they actually eat.  I'm sure she enjoyed showing off that she could look like she did while eating all that crap, but as far as the challenge went she did exactly what she was supposed to.

I thought that to a point. But 4 boxes of cereal and the icing and the candy and nothing healthy at all. She was putting on a show and it backfired on her.

  • Love 1

I felt like Taylor did do what Jay asked them to do but she was a bit excessive with it I agree. She was trying to be funny or whatever. But I never once got the impression that she was showing off that she could eat so unhealthy and stay fit. She never said anything about that, just that she likes to eat junk. I didn't see it as a show off thing. And I liked Taylor so lol

Karissa in season 6 when she got cut she stated that had she taken dance lessons she would have been on the team .... so she made into camp without any real dance background ??? With all the choreography they have to learn how does one go into camp thinking they can keep up ..... just curious 

Watching the girls travel across the floor with Kitty barking at them - how does one do it without the dance background???

Season 7 is one of my favorites, too. It has extra episodes. I feel like we got to know the TCCs a lot better and they were all so different. In the past few years, they’ve tended to run together and seemed more forgettable. Kali finally made it after trying out so many times. Colin was funny. Chelsea was spunky. It was Jacie’s first season. Danielle and Jasmine were Jets newcomers. It was a fun mix of personalities.
