Maybe Jinelle just wants to live her life. Without being someone’s news story. 

As someone who worked in news, I believe Jinnelle's sexual orientation and marriage are not newsworthy for mainstream American news for a couple of reasons : 1, she's former DCC and 2, she's Australian and moved back there. Maybe the supermarket tabloids or TMZ might exploit it, but beyond DCC-obsessed people like us, she's no star, and no one knows or cares. I could see her being included in a bigger, in depth story on cheerleaders, and even then we'll find out she's not the first or last lesbian to make this team.

Lovely show of support from all the messages many of the vets and some of the TCC left on Shaina’s latest Instagram post.

I clicked on the photo to see who was who, and the brunette gal was in a serious car accident a couple of weeks ago:(

It is assumed that Meredith and Kristin will likely get cut.

And I'm not surprised there was nothing publicized about Jinelle.  I heard that somebody made Jinelle's sexual orientation an issue in an attempt to justify not wanting to work closely with her.  It was pretty gross.

Kristin? Really? I thought there had been prior mention that she was doing better in TC this season.

Will. Ore than one legacy be allowed on the team this year?  If so, the legacy banner would have to be shared between two people. That could be an issue for a certain person.

I’ve been trying to bite my tongue about VK.  I actually don’t have a desire to watch the show this year with knowing how she is behind the scenes.  I can’t imagine being on a team with a girl who is toxic and can’t be trusted.  Her teammates literally couldn’t trust her.  Who will she throw under the bus next.  No wonder Jinelle left.  

Honestly, if she is doing what is being said then she will deal with the consequences.  Karma will eventually catch up.  Lol or someone could just pull a Mean girls on her and feed her protein bars that make you gain weight 😂😂😂.  Just kidding but seriously I can’t stand entitled people like her.  Those who hurt others to get ahead.

Wow, a lot went on while I was on vacation...

Most of us know what happened to Olivia S. years ago when she stood up to Cassie at the calendar shoot. Cassie ran to Judy and complained, then all of a sudden Olivia got the “toxic” label and it was over for her.

My guess is when Jaylyn gave VK some critiques to help her, VK ran to Mommy who called Kelli. Thus the “toxic” label was likely applied to Jaylyn, which Kelli shared with the Show Group judges who in response voted her out and voted VK in to soothe her hurt feelings.

I am reading between the lines big time but I get the sense the pressure to vote Jaylyn off was very strong from Kelli.

I think if I were Jaylyn, I’d say “Screw this, life is too short for this crap” and get out of there before she gets cut. Because you know at some point she will be cut to appease the Kalinas.

All my fav retired vets have the cutest babies now, and more are getting married and will probably have children. 

I am looking forward to having a team of these babies...and yes, I kinda want them all to make the team together!  And I’m kinda feeling like TPTB,  anyway we can make it happen.

I can understand Kelli a little better with her indecisiveness last year.  lol

Please not Kristin! I really like her...I don’t see Meredith getting this style and those SG videos did not show her as being wonderful in power Pom (she killed Travis Wall’s choreography). 

I have to say I have been reluctant to be on the 100% VK hate train for various reasons: I do like how she dances, she happens to in dance and look-wise remind me of a dear friend of mine, I’ve felt the weight and milk shake comments have been beyond the realm of normal criticism and were bullying.  I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because of her age and sheltered upbringing. And also I’ve been where she is: assumed to have something automatically because of a family connection and been treated like crap because of it. 

HOWEVER hearing what she said about Jinelle is the absolute limit for me. To not want to work with someone because of their sexuality?!?! I am not straight, I grew up with the majority of my friends being LGBT+, I am in theater in NYC and most of my current friends are LGBT+ my best childhood  friend is transgender and I am a loud advocate for LGBT rights. I am disgusted and appalled that a young woman in the dance world would even have those words enter her brain much less leave her mouth. Those antiquated ideas should be dying with the older generation. I have major issues with Rachel W but it seems she knows how to at least keep her opinions in her head and (hopefully) did not EVER express not wanting to work with someone because of the person they are engaged to. Shame on Victoria and shame on Kelli for allowing her to comeback. I am sure Jinelle was driven away by this and she is a bigger loss to that organization than Victoria would ever be as a gain.

Has there ever been more than one or two legacies try out in the same season? I’d be curious to know...

There are tentative plans to take a small group. Since it is LA’s home game, their cheerleaders will be gameday entertainment.

Jalyn was seen as insulting Victoria. Victoria ran to her mom and Kelli about it. Jalyn has been in trouble ever sense. Someone asked if this was another Tara situation. I don’t think so. Tara actively complained about Victoria to someone she trusted and was stabbed in the back. Jalyn wasn’t acting maliciously or complaining. As for Heather her situation had nothing to do with Victoria so she could climb back into the graces of Kelli and Judy. You saw what happened to Tara, i expect that Jalyn will see the same fate. 

Jalyn would not have made my Top 5 but she does not deserve what is happening. 

Can someone elaborate on what Heather did? I always wondered why she was a 2GL one year and then nothing the next and now a GL. 

If VK really did complain to her mom and her mom went to TPTB that is the exact opposite of professional. I’m curious if the MTT will cover Jalyn and how it will be edited. However, if Jalyn did turn down a lot of appearances last year for SG I can see that as a legitimate reason to not be selected again.

Just speculation, sorry should have made that clear.....I personally think Jalyn is a fantastic dancer so I’ve just been wondering why she possibly didn’t make SG this year other than all the VK stuff. And I wondered maybe IF she turned down appearances that could be a reason. But I don’t know if she did or didn’t turn down appearances

To be fair, I don’t know for sure who it was. I just heard that it happened and was understandably upsetting to Jinelle.

Yes someone asked this a few pages back and didn’t get an answer. I’m wondering the same thing. Something was mentioned about Tara and Jaylin not being able to fall back in good graces because of the Victoria situation but that whatever happened with Heather, she was able to recover from it as far as TPTB are concerned.  Any info???

I think it was because the engagement was a surprise for Jinelle which is common when people pop the question.  Perhaps the staff and Cassie knew it was happening but remained tight lipped to ensure Jinelle had a magical proposal.  In addition, it doesn’t matter if it’s heretosexual  or same sex oriented, they were being professional as colleagues to not make it a big deal.  Most work professionals wouldn’t be broadcasting an office romance until they were no longer employed there.  After the engagement and they no longer worked there, everyone supported it.  Not everything has to be political.  And if we want to normalize all relationships why does everyone insist on “showcasing it” rather than just a normal celebration of two people in love?  

Agree.

DCC Tea for July 7, 2019: Your daily summary of the Primetimer world of DCC, no receipts necessary.

A coalition of powerful vets is planning to approach Kelli, but not before sharing this plan with non-TCC insiders and the world at large.  The TCCs, including vets, are considering quitting en masse.

The anticipated number of women trying out in 2020 is now zero, as no lifelong dream of dancing in front of 100,000 adoring fans is worth having to play politics in the workplace. Better off in corporate America where that never happens! Or getting married, which is a Texas thing. No offense to Texans; some of my best friends are Texans.

Jalyn was nice to Victoria and this was interpreted as being not nice to Victoria. She was then cut from Show Group in an effort to encourage the girls to be nice to Victoria.

Since last week’s Show Group auditions, Victoria has become fat.

Victoria masterminded a misinformation campaign against Madeline.

September 2019 is ruined because of Brennan’s manbutt despite looking beautiful thanks to photoshop.

Miranda is A Girl who wears many faces.

When Victoria said she wanted help losing weight from someone who has lost weight herself, what she really meant was no lesbians.

Tara purposely got fat and untalented in order to induce the DCC to cut her, in an attempt to expose them for not cutting another candidate she deemed fat and untalented. The DCC unwittingly played into this diabolical plan by cutting her, and then cutting the other girl.

Jinelle’s lesbian relationship was kept quiet because when DCC asks people not to discuss things they don’t.

Kelli has conclusively determined that her successor will be a teenager with no work experience. She has to move quickly because word is they are getting ready to fire her.

It cannot be randomly stated enough—Sam Finglass is too smart and not pretty enough to be a DCC.

Sad part is there’s actual truth to about five of these.

My guess is Meredith and Madeline will be the next cuts.  Both girls are weak from what I've seen in videos of them dancing.  Madeline reminds me of Erin the first year she was in TC.  Lisa Mills is another I can see being cut because her "look" doesn't fit.  I know this is going to be unpopular, but I can see Shaina getting cut as well.

That was the episode where I truly disliked Kitty from then on...& I actually FB’d her & told her...HaHa!!! No joke...

What’s funny about Kitty in that episode, is that she went to K&J & said Chelsea was being “negative” about the meeting they just had with her (I think about weight, right?) & they called Chel back in...& yet Kitty is way far & above NEGATIVE in her comments to the DCC women (TCC & Vets). She calls it ‘keeping it real’ & ‘telling it like it is’, but in actuality it’s rude, mean & disrespectful. WHY DCC (& CMT) continue to show her segment, when women are trying to empower one another now is beyond me...

I luv the boards & discussions here, but I’ve not watched a season all the way thru especially when Kitty is on...

Thanks for listening...er, reading...

I tend to find that whenever someone says they are just “keeping it real” or “telling it like it is”, it is followed by something rude, mean and disrespectful.

Lol. That’s why I stopped being so skeptical of the info that gets posted here.

Typically, the simplest explanation is the truth - not so with DCC land where often times, the pettiest explanation appears to be the truth. I think in most workplaces, people are accountable to someone (your boss has a boss who has another boss). Therefore, things need to make sense, and there needs to be some consistency and logic in people’s actions for their own cya purposes but also for recruiting and retention purposes. Those concerns aren’t really there with the DCCs. If anything, the tv show and the general changing attitudes towards pro cheerleaders will have a bigger deterrent to girls trying out than bosses that play favorites.

But even today there are several white girls who don't dance that great.  If you're going to include people like that on the squad, you might as well diversify.  There is no shortage of blondes or whites on the DCC.  There's also no shortage of black girls who can dance.  I hope K&J wake up before it becomes a PR nightmare.

It’s not clear that K&J would be concerned about a PR nightmare at this point.  Ultimately, they serve the NFL fans.  Only they would be able to force a change.

My post was to refute the idea that black ladies looked better in the old cut and thus, had a greater likelihood of making the squad in the 70s and 80s.  My point was that then, the technical bar was lower and that ladies’ aesthetics and ambassadorship potential were more important in that even novice dancers could master the more basic choreography of the era.  Thus, it was easier to field a diverse team.

There are several barriers to entry to becoming a DCC—financial, time, DCC style mastery, physical—that seem unworthy of the effort to some POCs.

The funny thing is, outside of the Dallas scene and this message board, nobody really cares about what's going on in the world of DCC. Don't get me wrong, it is enormously entertaining to read these threads and I get into the discussions sometimes too, but in the grand scheme of things is any of this REALLY important? You can't be a DCC forever and the organization is run like a private company. The rules aren't always fair and they change on the fly. A small percentage of cheerleaders move on to bigger and better professional endeavors but really most of them just go back to studio teaching or get married and have families. What is *really at stake? It isn't as if anyone couldn't do those things on their own. If a girl gives up her life to devote herself completely to training camp, that is her choice. It's a cheerleading squad and there are a lot of hens in the hen house. None of what I have ever read on here surprises me.

So true.

Even with marginal world importance, the concept of justice comes into play. There is a finite amount of injustice that people can stand.

  Jalyn gave Victoria what she thought was some helpful corrections, and Victoria got really insulted.  She then complained to her mother, who went to Kelli.  The girls were then lectured at a subsequent practice that if someone needs feedback, leave it to Kelli or Judy to tell them.  This is in contrast to past years where Vets were encouraged to give help to the rookies.  

Quite a different attitude than when Cassie was allowed (encouraged!) to go after Taylor in front of everyone, and then had Allie chime in that she should just answer, "Yes, ma'am."

The talk of a DCC walkout or rebellion is quite interesting considering that it was 30 years ago (1989) that the veteran DCCs walked out because new team owner Jerry Jones wanted to change the uniform to even skimpier spandex and lax the rules so cheerleaders could date Cowboys players and appear in beer/alcohol ads which has always been against DCC rules.  The story was covered on a national scale.  I could imagine ESPN and TMZ giving it a mention in today's world.  The irony is that Kelli is the one who had to  explain to Mr. Jones that the DCC were known for their high standards (she was assistant director then).  Jerry Jones backed down after much public backlash.

And the one who encouraged Cassie to talk about Taylor in her face and on camera was her mother dear mother Judy, the queen bitch. I remember Cassie talking afterwards that someone had to be mean.

Is there an updated of whose left in TCC? What happens if Victoria don’t make DCC is show group her only “backup” for the year? I’d laugh if that was the case.

Yeah, I think if the DCCs went on strike, that would definitely get some publicity, but I think a walkout would have to be connected to some sort of scandalous activity or would need to have some sort of social justice angle in order to have any staying power in the media today. Once it became clear that the walkout was over nepotism, I think the story would quickly fade. Nepotism seems par the course for the Cowboys (don’t all of Jerry Jones’s kids work there?), and I don’t think the general public holds the ‘brand’ in the same esteem as the team does.
