I...I'm so confused. What does he actually DO? Food critic? Competitive eater?

And so I'm on topic: I don't get CMT (Comcast gets enough of my money each month) and haven't decided whether to buy this season. Is it going to be worth giving Amazon the $20 or so?

I think he’s an investment banker. Or something in finance. He went to Harvard.

Emma’s hubs comes off a little bit creepy and um, not the type to like women? Also why is he hanging around as besties with a teenager? Something’s sour in that milk.

I want to say vice president for Merrill Lynch??  Sam Finglass was Ivy League bound and ended up going to Texas A&M.  Emma's husband went to Harvard but came back to Texas A&M to get his masters, so I would say maybe he acted as a mentor for her.  Cause he just presented Sam with her Aggie ring.

As a member of DCC leadership, Jenna had an obligation to coach Holly, and not sidestep the issue because Holly wasn't in her group. Doing so undermined her own leadership and undermined Jinelle.

I know it's not popular, but it means something to sign your name to a contract and agree to the terms, and those terms stipulated the expectations both on the job and off. It takes integrity and character to do what you agree to. Anyway, it's clear I'm in the minority on this topic, so I'll bow out of further discussions. I agree to disagree and will move on to other topics! 😊

Yes!!!  And she complained that Julia needed to lighten her makeup.  Hello, it's possible Julia was told to do something with her makeup for the big screen.  Why not just make a note, and then when she got into TC, pass it to Marshall for the makeovers.

I'd be curious if CMT ever gives Charlotte direction like they gave Kitty, and if Char ever gave them back the snotty eye roll.  @Dal8las - you're our GIF-y girl - do you have one of Char giving that look?

I couldn't find the eye roll, but I found this look....

Anyone else think it was cruel to put that Road to DCC girl on the bad dancers clips? I mean she really is not up to par with last year’s rockstar rookie class but neither are basically any of this year’s TCC candidates, but why be mean when she’s really working hard and investing a lot of emotion and time into this? Just give her a you’re not quite there no and don’t embarrass her on TV.

Thank G referenced in FTLOG!

Whether it's from bad edits with CMT or Kitty herself, she was becoming increasingly grating.  With the exception of Morgan and she who deserves our respect, if a candidate had Kitty's approval she was usually a good dancer and DCC ready. So I used to not mind her being tough on the girls regarding dance, but when she started dabbling in their locker room discussions and appearance and hair (pot! kettle!)) she became tough on me, the viewer. Yah?

Of course, last season strained the credibility of almost anyone associated with the show. 

I've always loved Kitty. Still do. She has a heart of gold and really cares about each and every DCC as well as the DCC organization itself. She wants DCC to always be world class and to be a premiere NFL cheerleading team. Yes, she has her opinions on who should and shouldn't make it. But it's out of love that she gives her critiques.  I know a few former DCCs and they have told me that CMT scripts the show extensively. They want sound bites from people on the show that fit their narrative. They ask very specific questions off camera to get the answer they are looking for. For example the producer interviewing a DCC/TCC for a "talking head" might ask the person being interviewed: "Do you feel that Betsy is struggling in training camp?" "Do you think her dancing needs improvement, her makeup, her kicks?" They ask questions until they get the answer they want. Kitty is very straight forward. If CMT was forcing answers from her that she didn't like last year, then I'm not surprised she isn't on the show this year. She wouldn't put up with it a second year in a row if she was told to say last year "give Victoria the respect to lose the weight" when she really didn't believe Victoria had earned her spot. JMHO.

I like it too. Charlotte looks great right now.  I do think she looks around her age, but in a very Dallas way. I would have said late 40’s early 50’s, but I’ve lived in Dallas most of my life and am used to that look 😂

Thank you for whoever told me about this podcast. Milan was one of my favorites and how she talks about pretty much what we have spoken about on here. Look, diet, crazy schedule, politics, etc.

I mean it does kind of go back to the girls def should be paid more. The Dallas Cowboys are worth 5 billion dollars. These girls do a lot for little pay, I find it super sad how they are treated. 

The time where she talks about the juice cleanse and losing 7 pounds  being her stay/rookie weight throughout her time on the squad is so damaging. Why I got upset about Gabby being cut, because she was just loose. Some girls bodies are just like that. I get sad when they say certain girls are out of shape when they are not, because it's a precursor to eating disorders. I think they need to be held accountable for pushing such unhealthy ways. 

I personally think the DCC need a huge shift in health and mental awareness.

The whole story of Kitty Carter pretty much disrespecting Milan on being a student over SG was eye opening. She doesn't name her, but I remember it being her in the episode.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/3-milan-brahney-balancing-being-dallas-cowboys-cheerleader/id1460166106?i=1000439168200

She speaks about them caring when she quits, but the fact that they don't realize how douchey they can be to the girls is like.....um hella they are the queens of the RBFS.

Hey Kitty - why don't you call Miranda "Grandma Moses" and criticize her hair.  We'll tell her it's just part of the script so she doesn't start to cry and get upset.

Yeah. I’ve been way harsh on road to DCC girl on these boards, but even I thought that was shitty. She had former DCC commenting on her posts etc. so you know they know who she is. I’m one hypocritical bitch because in her case, I think she could’ve used a dose of Kitty Carter as a reality check, and y’all know how I feel about Kitty.

For me, the problem is not who is a group leader.  The issue is that Jenna enabled Holly by GOING WITH HER to the clubs.  Jenna knew she was underage, she knew Holly was breaking rules and by going with her, she was helping Holly break the rules, therefore being complicit in the act.   If Jenna says "Nope, Holly. You are underage, you aren't supposed to have a fake id (a felony btw) and go to clubs. I'm sure as hell not going."  Holly MAY go on her own, but then Jenna doesn't know and doesn't have to tattle or withhold the truth.

4. Round 1 does not include the returning DCC veterans.  This year, 29 of the 36 DCC members are returning to compete with the rookie hopefuls in Round 3.  As for Round 1, 81 rookies have previously auditioned for the DCC.  Of those 81, 16 made it to final rounds and 5 made it all the way to DCC Training Camp but didn’t survive the final roster reductions.

I am confused 😐

It's a badly written paragraph.  It should have said "As for Round 1, 81 girls have tried out for the DCC before.  Of those 81, 16 have made it to finals, and of those 16, 7 have made it to DCC Training Camp, but did not make the final squad."

Maybe because over the years, the show has made Kitty more of a caricature of herself that has developed into something she no longer wants to project? 

Who knows what lines were actually Kitty's or ones the CMT Producers wanted her to say.  The line last season asking K&J to give Vic the "respect she deserves" to get 11+ lbs of weight off AT WEEK 11, when no other TCC would be allowed that amount of leeway, made Kitty look beyond ridiculous.  I have no idea if this was the final straw, but I wouldn't blame her if it was this, something similar or cumulative.

I never saw it as supportive -- I thought it was pretty self serving --"see we aren't just a bunch of barbie doll cheerleaders, we stress education."  Kind of like Miss America not being a beauty pagent but a scholarship competition.

Not saying you can't be both - but in the case of DCC, it was for the camera and done to make them look good.

That's what I remember too! However, Milan said they edited it so it looked like she was emotional about school and they were supportive. She says though the true filming was just her getting drilled and pretty much made to feel as if DCC should be treated greater and she never felt validated.

With her saying VK deserves the respect was wild to me...I was like isn't this the same woman that called out vets and got them cut for being soft. I was like either she is becoming nicer or the hair dye finally got to her....

I think Kitty took a big SM hit last year along with VK -- people were left wondering where her credibility went when it came to VK and the idea that she could lose 11 pounds in the three weeks left in training camp -- that and the sticker debacle.

I know where her credibility went -- Tina's back pocket which is a convenient location when you are kissing ass.

Did anybody see the FB post that showed Tina and Kitty joining in TS at someone's wedding?  I couldn't watch -- i was afraid of gagging on my keyboard.

That's why I said "looking supportive" 🙂 cause you know while Kelli is bragging to the cameras that they have girls who have jobs or are students, she is also pulling girls from games for missing practice due to a work commitment (ie - Khalyn).  Or like Milan said, they have to attend appearances and miss class, although there are other girls who can go.

[FLAfan]

I actually was shocked last year with Kitty’s comment about Victoria.

By not being involved in taping I think has gone a long way for her credibility.

Is Kitty still going to be helping the girls and just not getting involved in taping?

meaning she has overdone Botox, but I can tell she follows her dermatologist’s instructions better than Kelli and Judy... who I just want to remind not to forget their décolletage. It’s a dead giveaway when your face looks young and your chest doesn’t. A quick laser treatment should fix the problem...   

honestly the DCC need beauty consultants to tell them these simple things like... I see sun spots, get IPL. You lost too much fat under your eyes, time for restalyne. I know they have a sponsorship with Setty plastic surgery but it’s beyond obvious that no one is sitting them down and telling them what exactly will improve their appearance the most. They’re probably just giving them money to use for facials, laser hair removal, or whatever they chose. They need real consults. But I understand why they don’t get them bc real consults cost real $$$

.... and setty isn’t even the plastic surgeon I’d choose in Dallas if I wanted the best. They should be consulting on the girl’s skincare routines and procedures in the exact same way that they have Marshall consult with hair.
