Powerhouse Kelli Quinn didn’t make it on the team for quite awhile, even when CMT highlighted her dancing over K explaining they were looking for powerful dancers.  How she was overlooked, I don’t know.  

I have a feeling, in the next few years, the choices will be just ok, so someone else does not get over danced.  Kelli is going to set up her star to be successful in all areas.

If Julia did say "Fuck this," then I'd like to compliment her on summing up my feelings about this entire season so succinctly.

Not sure if this video with Meredith was ever shared before.  Just came across it myself...

She's a decent dancer I guess...but her looks are stunning.

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. 

And as much as it sucks (stealing the word from Cassie), this is quite honestly the truth. It’s time to call a spade a spade. DCC doesn’t care about diversity. And that’s fine if that’s how they want to operate. They are a private organization. They can do whatever they want. But they also can’t act so shocked and flabbergasted when people call them out on it. Especially in 2019. Especially in a time where people are becoming more socially conscious and intentional. And being vocal about it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I find the race issues to be ridiculous. There have always been DCC of color, going back to the early days of the squad. There were black DCC in the 70s and 80s including the Baker sisters and Regina Pidgeon, all of whom are legendary. Currently there have been rock stars like Nicole Hamilton, Tia Williams, and Ally Traylor. Jenna got away with breaking the fraternization rules while drinking with an underage girl and she wasn't released. You could point out that Tia was a known partier while Amy Reece was cut for partying. There have also been Jewish DCC, as well as girls like Yuko who can't speak English and are allowed to miss practice for visa issues. The NFL in general is frankly way ahead of the curve when it comes to being progressive. The coaches have the Rooney rule to ensure opportunities for coaches of color, and the legendary Vince Lombardi had an openly gay brother and was well known for forbidding homophobic talk or behavior on his staff.

I really hope she makes it. They have let a ton of girls on the team for looks alone, she should be one of them.

I mean there have been blatant moments where the DCC could have made a change, but instead stayed the same old systematic blonde girl safe theory.

Dried up ex but listen, It goes back to when Kashara became point. Can she dance? yeah, is she pretty? yeah, is she the best the DCC had?...NO Maam. Robin would out dance her in the the diamond. Robin imo should have been point. Then Kashara could have been point her 4th year I would have been down for that, but her 3rd year idk.

Same thing with Jenna, did she break contract? yes, she done screwed up. Which cost her point position and pro bowl opp...However Whitney Isleb legit did blackface and got to not only stay at point, but become a pro bowler....lets be real its time for some re-evaluation.

Yes, but for every 5 DCCs of color there are 20 caucasian girls my love.

Amy Reece gained weight and was cut so that ex idk if I would go with that against Tia.

The NFL is def not progressive...I mean they are fining people for petitioning. Which in this country is a constitutional right, so thats not right. I mean one of the biggest sponsors Papa Johns is hella racist..idk if they are still sponsors because so many things come in and out nowadays...but lets be real. Just recently the NFL seem to want to be progressive, that is do to them losing viewers after these last few years.

so don't pick the best?

Are the white girls the best dancers in Texas or are they the ones who show up for auditions because the team owners and team managers are looking for qualities that white dancers tend to have?  Can we ask why Kelli and Judy talk about highly technical dancers when what they mean to say is "dancers who have enough money to pay for competitive contemporary studios".  DCC a cheer team that is closer to power pom than lyrical.  So why aren't those the qualities DCC look for? When was the last time a sideline routine had a double pirouette turn in it?  The dance moves aren't complicated and could be taught to any dancer of any background from any style.  Yet they persist in picking the same barbies season after season.

DCC  won't find a diverse set of people until they start looking for diverse styles of dance.  And by that, I don't mean girls from Utah "hitting" hiphop.  They could fix this by encouraging different studios to audition.  Or maybe give spots in training classes to studios who have a diverse membership.  Part of the allure of DCC is that every guy can look at a girl who is his "type" and that his daughter can see a girl who looks like her on the field.  When  you stop appealing to people from a diverse background, you tend to become irrelevant.

So Kristin has an insta story of her dancing in a class and the teacher tagging her saying “I’m proud of all you have accomplished, keep going” which could mean she was cut, she made the team, or nothing has happened yet. So yeah, basically tells us nothing but I thought I would throw it out there, lol

My husband is a diehard Redskins fan and thinks it's blasphemous that I watch DCC. 😆

I knew about the DCC before I ever actually started watching the game (from the 70’s - Love Boat, all that).  Anyway, I didn’t start watching the game until my freshman year of high school.  And I actually liked both the Redskins and Cowboys.  Well you can imagine that didn’t go over well.  Talk about blasphemous!  I only liked the Cowboys because of DCC.  What can I say, I was such a newbie.  But alas, I had to choose and of course, Redskins won!

Now of course, as a seasoned football and Redskins fan, I can never root for the Cowboys!

Meredith was in my sorority in college and in addition to looks, she's also incredibly kind, mature, humble and sweet... I think she will make a great team player and I really hope she makes the team!

Well we all made it, none of us died. Squad announcement should be today. But if you think about it, we basically know the full squad, minus 1 young women.

I decided that they should go about choosing the squad in another format. All the women stay the entire length of training camp. The final night everyone must dance all the routines, and do the on field entrance and kickline. At the end of the night, all the cuts are made at once, whomever is left is the official squad

It would put them exactly where they need to be if there's still one more cut.

If it’s true, maybe they were aware/sensed it was coming, which explains the delay in the team announcement.

I’m sorry but I don’t want trashy girls with no morals representing this brand. A girl can be sex-positive but the flip side of that is using sex for validation and narcissism... like most men do... like Lizzo does... that’s not positive or enlightened. That’s a mask for insecurity and our young women deserve better role models than that. I like my DCC being good role models for young girls. At least on the surface. I can’t speak for who they are behind closed doors. 

I mean, they do porn star poses while pulling down their bikini bottoms, but whatever you think I guess.
