I'm an old timer. This is year 41 of my Cowboys fandom and I've loved the DCC equally as much as the team the whole time. Watching another squad would be blasphemy. Kudos to those who can put their love for another team aside and just enjoy the show. Go Pats 😜 11 hours ago, Lolfordays said: Amen. If We are to believe Kelli is as good at her job as they tell us she is, she can evaluate and have a roster of 36 after a week, two maybe. This last cut will not impact what any fan/consumer experiences on game day. It will not make or break anything but the show. And the show is what it is really about now, not the product on the field. Ehhhh...that may be stretching reality a little too much. 11 hours ago, tacosandtequila said: My way of looking at it..if they had to choose Maddie and Amy- but are good dancers (but not amazing) and are pretty (but not stunning or really glamorous). They can’t choose Gina to be a part of the triangle because she would out-dance both of them; the three of them would not mesh well. Lexie is beautiful, a great dancer, and meshes better with them...more balanced. The triangle would be off-balanced with 1 amazing dancer and 2 “good” dancers Holy my taco, did you say Lexie is in the triangle with Amy and Maddie, but Gina isn't? What in holy guacamole is Ked & Jud smoking and is it legal? They should bottle that shit quick because they're higher than Rachel W's tanning bill. Like, truly, is this opposite season where the worst get kept and the best get cut? I don't even like Gina and her annoying vocal fry and even I can see that she outdances every single dancer in that room. Even my beloved Bridget and Erin. Insiders, what did Gina do? And don't tell me she got outdanced because that isn't possible, so what was it? Sneaking Vikkie milkshakes on the DL? Kicked Ked's cat? Did they mistake her for Dayton? Was she banging a football player? WHAT WAS IT? Because there is no way this is about dance...none. If you claim to be the best, then be the fucking best---not some hap-hazard sorority traveling dress ya ya hood where seniority trumps talent and the best are hidden. 11 hours ago, HideyYall said: If this is the case, then the "snarky" theory about Lily is false. To me that would prove that she is incredibly likable. Otherwise, she would not be accepted into the group. I mean, we don't see any pics of Victoria with the team outside of training camp. Only with Sam Fin and Char's daughter who I haven't bothered to learn the name of. No one likes Vikkie, she just can't take a hint. 9 9 Link to comment

Each girl on the team or trying out brings both pros and cons to the table. Each of us has a favorite that we find something in that we relate to, think is stunning, etc. And for each of those favorites, someone else finds them unattractive, untalented, etc. Simply human nature. No one on the team or trying out is going to cause small children and animals to flee in terror due to their physical appearance. The rest is just personal preference. This is DCC though. I know what true diversity means, but come in now we all know full and well that DCC will never embrace diversity. 2 Link to comment

This may seem true and fair, but if they want to brand themselves as role models then they need to consider racial diversity when selecting a team. If they want to inspire young girls to get into dance class, follow their dreams, aim big and aspire to be them aka spend money on their merch, come to their meet n greets and try to attend their performances...then they need to make more effort to actually look like their customer base. That is why racial diversity matters. But, it's the DCC, it's Texas and it's the Jones family so it'll go ignored, but it really shouldn't. 17 Link to comment

I think it's irrelevant because "the best" is subjective and we've seen plenty of questionable decisions from Kelli over the years. Other factors obviously come into play (looks, personality, likeability) and so I'm under no illusion that this is an egalitarian process. Lack of diversity on the team is a systemic problem and one that the leadership doesn't seem to want to address so they rest of the laurels of "hair color diversity" which I'm sorry is only a thing in DCC world.

When is the last time you’ve seen a woman of color who struggled as much as Loni, Breelan, Jessika, Jordan, Christina, Savannah, etc. actually make the team?

flightlevel August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 (edited) Making the team is about more than just being the best dancer. The greatest dancers can be in the room but won’t make it if they don’t have a good interview or ability to speak to media. Also they must look good on camera and in the uniform. She also has to mesh well with the team and bring something to the table other than just dancing great. The DCC requirements are a pretty tall order for any young lady. Regardless of color only the ones with the total package will make it. Edited August 15, 2019 by flightlevel Changed word 3 Link to comment

Im all here for that as well most talented wins a spot, but they do have a "type" of girl regardless of dancing it seems. Like I said earlier, the same with Victoria Secret its getting boring...Also when girls that are actually good dancers seem to be left by the wayside so another cute blonde girl can make it in and dance at the back of the pyramid for three years it doesn't make sense. Also, the top dancers don't seem to always make it. Now of course there is the whole checklist they have to make it in, but some girls seem to be immune to certain categories ex. Training Camp Amy she was on the season where Maggie, Tess, the Heathers made it on the squad. Anyways she tried out for 5 years never made the squad. She was good dancer, had a good body, was pretty, and eloquent...still never makes it do to I think memory which seems farfetched. While Breelan, Ashley same year as Breelan, Kat, and Christina etc types all make it even though they have never been strong dancers. Some of these girls don't seem to have nice personalities, their bodies are ok, and their looks bleh. However, they somehow seem to survive cuts and make the team even if for a year. It is wild that there are only 2 black DCCs, no Asian DCCs, I think Tess might be Hispanic..it needs to become more exclusive. Now of course again these girls have to want to tryout, but it seems like for every girl of color, 5 more blonde white girls get in just based off look. It's what I said about the DCC style its bland and seems to fit the old 1970s vibe. I want more girls that can actually dance dance not memorize steps and float through the moves.

The implication that the whites are all better year after year after year is bull. Like someone else said, it's systemic. In theory, that's true. In reality, the pitchforks would come out if there were no Caucasian women on the squad. And rightly so. Kelli herself has said on the show that they often don’t take the “best” dancers, they take the dancers that will fit best with the DCC. The DCC is not a politically correct group and they most likely never will be. 1 1 Link to comment
