Nothing that drag queens say for fun is ''profound''. Not to mention THIS is inappropriate and sacrosanct, none of you knows what being soldier actually is. Get a grip.
@stevencramsie9172This would be a fair point with any other team, but the Cowboys' cheerleaders are a huge draw, that's why they made this entire show about them.
It's so infuriating that the football players (men) get paid millions of dollars and meanwhile the cheerleaders (women) are making peanuts and then getting told they will get "free" Botox, and salon appointments (and yeah they're barely in their 20s!) 😱🤬 Can you imagine if the guys were told they were being paid with like gym memberships and f*cking sneakers? Do you think they would be okay with that absloute BS? 🤷♀️
@TeaghanYoung Indeed! And I always think of what the reverse or in this case something similar would be like when it comes to double standards and blatant sexism. Professional football players sign contracts where they get paid millions of dollars per season, and so it was even more insulting that the cheerleaders had to do a zoom call to figure out if they should just go on strike to get a mere few thousands of dollars more for all their hard work. (They did get a raise, which is good obviously, but it's no where near what the men are getting.) And it's not just the Dallas Cowboys paying the cheerleaders peanuts, it's like that for every single NFL team. It makes my blood boil! 🤬
I couldn’t even get past the first episode of this after the owner’s daughter was basically proud about how little they pay the girls because “they just do it cuz they it’s their dream”….. like yeah exploitation is famously cheap!!
It's amazing to me that they don't want to pay them a living wage when they could practice even more AND exploit them even more if it was a full time job. Having the whole team available for events most of the time seems like a no brainer
yeah and it insane that the football player are probably all make hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars a year. these women don’t even get paid a living wage, just horrible and low-key sexist.
@empathyhoneyteatoo Girl, the football players sign contracts that make them millions of dollars per season! It's not low key sexist, it's screaming out loud f*cking sexism! 😱 And yeah, these cheerleaders are barely in their 20s being told they need to get f*cking Botox, are you f*cking joking me?! 🤬
Indeed! And plus the make overs too. Giving these women new hair styles, cuts, colors, extensions ect, only to find out later, NOPE sorry, you didn't get picked! 😱 I've been watching the show, and the way they string the women along for months is just so cruel. One of them even says that when you audition for The Rocketts you go in, do your dance routine, and then they call you and let you know if you made it or not. And that's the way it should be! But instead of doing it the right way, the DCC picks 66 women to go through training camp, which lasts for months, and there's only 12 open spots for the cheerleading squad! (And they don't even announce who makes it at the same time, they do it on a weekly basis, so one or two of them they cut, then the next week, same thing, and I hate all of it! It makes my blood boil! 🤬
Because their measurements and their final look 100% plays into whether they get picked or not, yes it’s about talent but we can’t pretend it’s not also a beauty pageant
@Cuddly-Cactus i think its bc the rockettes are viewed as "professional dancers" (esp in nyc where theres a dance audition around every corner) and the dcc are "just cheerleaders" in texas where there might not be as many opportunities. So the dc can just screw around with them for fun.
Like they act as if they went through a bombing in their confessionals and the way it was edited it was SO funny omg I was crying laughing the entire time
I have a problem with someone telling me to shave my legs, I couldn't imagine being that young, that beautiful, that athletic, and then being told to get injectables. That is so gross. And RIP to all their hip joints, my god.
@aminamm3103 Same girl same! 💯 It's such an infuriating insult! Every single one of thoes women could easily be a fashion model or a dancer for Lady Gaga (or some other pop star) or an actress, ect. And instead of paying them with f*cking Botox and hair and nail appointments they should be giving them knee and hip replacements after they retire from the cheerleading team! Which they will undoubtedly need in a few years. It's beyond disgusting!
@aminamm3103 Same girl same! 💯 And instead of giving these barely 20 year old women Botox and fillers, they should give them knee and hip replacements which they will undoubtedly need one day!
I was grossed out a decade ago when a former co-worker told another woman in our office that she should start getting Botox because she wasn't 30 yet and would only need 'maintenance' injections after
@daniellew.9957 And that right there is the problem! To me, it feels even worse when women are telling young women they need to get Botox and fillers! I mean, no one should ever be making comments like that to anyone, but it just feels extra gross when we see older women telling young (and already beautiful) women they should get that stuff done. Like ma'am please sit the f*ck down and STFU! 🤬
One of the craziest things for me is the girls wash and clean their own uniforms. You would think they would have someone in house or a partnership with a laundry service. It's shocking the girls are even allowed to bring it home.
@max_sch4462 That's f*cking ridiculous! What the hell do they do with their uniforms when the women "retire" after a season or a few? Sell them on f*cking Ebay?! 🤷♀️
I was a competitive cheerleader as a teen & we weren't even allowed to take our uniforms home. Or clean them. Yet this professional empire has them taking home iconic uniforms. Its insane.
@monicam7008 Yeah, there's like tiny ones that only go around the border of the little blue stars and that's it. It should be bedazzled looking, make thoes uniforms look like Bob Mackie designed them! 💯
Yeah and the number of straight guys watching professional sport ball games is in the millions! Give us less of the men running around tossing a ball to each other and more of the cheerleaders! (And I'm a straight woman that loves watching them, the dancing and acrobatic routines are just amazing to watch! And they all look amazing too!)
Lol, many people do NOT go to the games because of the cheerleaders, they’re just a bonus. Doesn’t matter how far teams get in the playoffs, the fans go for the football. That’s why teams that are historically terrible every year like Cleveland, fill their stands every week
@stevencramsie9172 Yeah we know that most people attend sports ball games to watch guys run around and toss a ball to each other. (Which is super boring compared to what the acrobats/dancers, aka the cheerleaders, and doing on the field. Plus there's music!) And I really don't get the whole thing of let's go watch this losing team play again this week even though they lost so much last season. Small town pride must be the reason, well, that and once the country fair is over there's literally nothing else to do in places like Cleveland Ohio! Hey ya'll wanna go watch the corn grow? 🤣💀
lol it’s not, it’s like Trixie mentioned, the girls do press, radio, and of course engage in conversations with fans. They have to be knowledgeable about the organization they are representing.
@dollywhitley3314 To be fair, do you think the football players (men) need to memorize all thoes pages of crap like the cheerleaders (women) do? 🤷♀ Football players also talk to the press and their fans, but I don't think I've ever seen any vidoes of them sitting around reading pages of information that they need to memorize before practice. These women are really being treated super unfairly and it's disgusting.
@Cuddly-Cactus they don’t need football players to be smart, they don’t even need em to be able to talk. They only need results and to be able to work with their teammates, and cheerleaders def aren’t gonna be getting concussed on the field on a regular basis.
@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Bro, organizing to get a 400% pay increase in a multimillion dollar industry that has systemically discriminated against women since the beginning of time is actually a big f*cking deal. The women that filed the lawsuits and stood up their bosses to get better pay are definitely iconic! 💯 You need to grow up and realize that there's still such hatred and discrimination against women in this country, maybe go watch the news sometime, or better yet go read an article or two. (Or ask your mom to read it to you, child.) 🤦♀
Just FYI to the kids: This show has actually been on CMT since 2006. And just about nothing has changed. I guess the original series ran on CMT until 2021, then Netflix picked it back up as a successor series last year. Kelli has been scrutinizing women’s bodies and appearances for almost 20 years on national TV!
As wild as Kelli is, she is one of the primary reasons why they are finally getting paid better, why they have all those sponsorships, and why they've had several long-running TV shows. The dancers have always had their own, but they never had respect,
Meanwhile Kelly looks like a bag of sun splotched bones when she is bold to show her body. and i am not bodyshaming but when she gets ready and proudly saunters around but has the nerve to call these ladies out on their bodies in various ways IS RICH to say the least. Cover that up! we came for them. not her!
This show truly feels like something only a dystopian novel could come up with... the grotesque, the picture perfect girls, the exploitation... they're incredibly talented but the whole system sends chills down my spine
Agreed! I've been watching the show, and it is grotesque indeed! The cheerleaders (women) did manage to get better salaries, (and it only took several lawsuits!) However, it's nothing like the millions of dollars the football players (men) get, and they don't even have health insurance but the NFL pulls in massive profits every year. The levels of blatant sexism in professional sports is appalling! 🤬
@tekgid433 Yeah, I'm totally jealous of watching women that need to work 3 or more jobs in order to make ends meet. Yup, you got me bro! 🤦♀ Sexism is super fun! 🙄
bro that whole botox presentation scene was honestly so disturbing lol those girls are not only young, but naturally gorgeous too. why the hell would they need botox or fillers? can't women just be allowed to age like normal human beings and i don't know, be able to move their own faces? i feel so bad for them.
@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 what do you mean "calm down"? i'm already calm lol and sure, most women do age naturally, but women in the entertainment industry are constantly pressured to get botox and fillers just like the girls in the video, which is disgusting since some of them aren't even in their twenties yet.
@HélioReghin Yeah that part is so messed up, do NOT tell women that are barely in their 20s that they need Botox and fillers like its a f*cking job requirement. Instead make sure they get hip and knee replacements. (And in the show one of the women that had been a DCC for a few seasons got one of her hips replaced and was using a special type of brace and crutches to get around, and yeah, she was only in her mid 20s. I felt so bad for her, and you know they recommend that these new joints need to be replaced every so often so she's going to need more surgery eventually.)
@austryelia You would think that it would make more sense for the NFL to do that, especially with all the straight men watching the Super Bowl and all the other games every season! (I'm so glad by husband isn't one of these sportball nut guys! We watch some of the Olympics together but that's about it as far as sports go for us!)
Have you ever been to a professional game? Its like 3 hours of time, but they only play for like 20 minutes in those 3 hours because theyre ALWAYS breaking for sponsors and commercials. Its sooooo boring
It feels so interesting to watch this as an Eagles fan because the male cheerleader on the squad for that team (I can't remember if he's the only man on the squad or not) is a special education teacher in Philly when he's not cheering. Watching them talk about financial stuff with cheerleading so interesting because the amount of rigamarole that they go through just to get on the team makes me feel like it has to be a full-time job
Huge shout out to the cheerleader with alopecia. She's showing young people with the disease that it shouldn't stop them from doing what they love and or dream of and they'll still look beautiful without a wig. Snaps for Armani Latimer
Completely agreed! 💯 Miss Armani looks stunning, and she reminds me of the women of Wakanda from the Marvel movies! A super pretty face can really pull off the bald look, and she certainly does! 👏
Seems like the Cowboys lawyers got to the production company that does this show. None of the horrible behavior from the coaches and mangers was shown. Especially the real reason Chandi “decided to take a leave of absence”
@Sofia-jd7dz There's that and the fact that she had gone through a rough break up with her boyfriend, and she was struggling with some mental health issues. (And before that she was in an abusive relationship with a crazy alcoholic guy that was not only physically and mentally abusive, but he was stalking her while she was hanging out with her new boyfriend.) There's even a scene in the show where she describes how awful he treated her, and the fact that she filed charges against him for domestic violence, but they were actually dropped. She had several witnesses and even photos of the bruises he left on her body but somehow that wasn't enough evidence to get him convicted for DV. It was both heartbreaking and infuriating to watch. She seems like such a sweet person, my heart really goes out to her. 💔
@Sofia-jd7dz thank you for explaining. I did see the series, but I thought they were saying it was something else that happened that was not mentioned.
@Sofia-jd7dz Yeah, I saw that in the one of the episodes, and the reaction from the other cheerleaders was kind of ridiculous, they were talking as though she invited Ted Bundy over! I mean, if she didn't know the guy that well then that's not great just because of the potential safety issues, but literally nothing bad happened! No one was harmed in any way. Besides, someone would have to be a complete moron to hurt one of the DCC, like that's definitely going be catch attention!
That’s exactly what happened in season one. They lost sooo early in the season so the girls that worked so hard just to be on the team only preformed at 4 games and then it was over.
As a 50 something who was routinely called a bulldagger, I freakin cackled. Most of my PTSD stems from the AIDS pandemic so I’m thrilled to be able to laugh at that, especially picturing my friend Lenny flying through the air🤣
these two blonde women are so wholesome they've helped me with my AIDS PTSD. It's wonderful. our generation needs to see this kind of unapologetic and honest queer expression, it helps with old wounds ❤🩹
what's awful about this sort of environment is that it's so toxic but matters SO MUCH to these girls like, they're treated like shit and like objects and told to be grateful for it. i hate these kinds of spaces so much.
I'm from here and I've been to most of these places where things have been set. 8:15 The Cowboys organization is really big on legacy and the teams history so that doesn't suprise me that they need to do all that. I wouldn't put it past them to make the football players do some homework as well. Knowing Jerry Jones role is important because hes their boss and his daughter is a huge part of the show 17:10 The cheerleaders just got a 4x salary increase after the success of the show which is so great.
my jaw dropped when she showed the girl a picture of another girl and went “i thought that wasn’t you 😊” she 100% knew it wasn’t the same girl, and if she didn’t, she should not be doing that job. those girls don’t get paid nearly enough to deal with the abuse.
I need Trixie and Katya to react to every piece of media that exists. Only then will the price that I keep forgetting Netflix is charging me every month feel a little worth it.
auditioning at that level has to be so soul-crushing sometimes bc no one is bad, that girl to your right was just better in some way and u gotta take that L
I haven’t seen this but I’m so glad they’re talking about money. I heard somewhere they only got $60 each game at one point. Idk if that’s still the same
I really wish the set was cozier. I want the 90's den, normcore and I want it NOW lol this set is cute but it's just so....sterile and uninviting. I want the comfy space with pillows and warm, inviting and cozy colors.
I'm just so captivated by Katya's entire look and vibe. She's GORGEOUS. And also, just how refreshing was it to watch two gay men just react so loving and wholesome to these talented and drop dead gorgeous women?
I don't understand why you said they are biological women. Both Katya and trixie, Brian's in real life, are very open about being homosexual men who dress and drag. Not once have they ever said that they are women or want to be called that. Just weird and disrespectful for you to say so.
I'll be the first to admit when I made a mistake. Weird though, I've been watching drag race since 2009, I've watched every episode of uhhhh... and Netflix we like to watch and never caught it. I believe you though , and apologize if I misinterpreted what you were saying ❤@masterkaters
Personally as a football fan of Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, the owner, makes a ton of money on the team/franchise. The franchise is ICONIC!!!! The cheerleaders deserve as much credit to the team’s fame as much as the players. Pay them accordingly!
My friend from college is an NFL cheerleader (3 years as of last season) and she definitely has a fuck ton of press events she’s required to go to. Charity events, local news interviews,fun runs, etc.
I only know of this bc im a dallasite. all of them have full-time jobs. teachers, nurses, doctors, what have you. they have to rehearse during the day of their job.
I couldnt watch this on my own because i just feel like crying for them 😭 it breaks my heart to see these beautiful young women who are so talented be treated soooo surface level. And i understand this is the game and this is what they want, but god i hate that its even a thing. Its going to change the trajectory of their life in a negative way. They really will battle that mental prison forever. Ive seen it a million times in women both in and out of the "beauty" related industries. Its a very bitter sweet thing, im happy for them but my heart breakssss. I just hope they know how amazing they are and i just wishhhhh they could stand up for themselves in that industry way more.
Previous college male cheerleader here, just wanna give y'all my perspective. I had NEVER cheered for a college before I tried out, only had high school band & mascot experience, but when I made the squad my entire semester of school was paid by the cheerleading scholarship. We had to buy our own shoes & pay for our megaphones (only male cheerleaders used them) but total that was like $100 or so? We had practice EVERY Mon/Weds/Fri/Sat from 6am-8am, and again from 6pm-8pm the same days & worked out in the gym on our own time (I usually went at 5am to already be there for practice) but as far as getting paid outside of the scholarship, we got nothing & that was fine with me because I loved cheering! I cannot FATHOM being a DALLAS COWBOY CHEERLEADER making that RIDICULOUS amount of money considering how much they're put through! From tryouts to training camp to cheering at games, I seriously cannot believe they aren't being paid at LEAST a fraction of what the football players make because if you know anything about the Cowboys, the cheerleaders are arguably more popular than the football team itself! We got to take our uniforms home but on certain days we left them on campus because we had someone who took care of cleaning/tailoring them when needed so the fact that they have to WASH THEIR OWN UNIFORMS is crazy to me especially when the players don't! The players literally make MILLIONS and the cheerleaders are on the field the same amount of time as the players AND perform for halftime, while these ladies are working full time jobs and have school etc too!? Like that's insane to me that they have the audacity to dangle Botox & other free stuff in their faces in exchange for fair pay when really they can get that stuff for free anyways by doing collabs or partnerships or sponsorships with the brands individually or as a team! Those ladies should be getting paid at LEAST a couple hundred thousand or something more than $15-20/hr considering all they have to do to get prepped for game time! It's genuinely crazy to me that they don't make more or even get health insurance like people really don't respect the arts like dance and cheer because they're more commonly women driven! I can bet any amount of money if cheerleaders were majority male, this wouldn't even be a CONVERSATION! They need to revisit the pay situation a few more times even though they've gotten a little raise since this came out like those women deserve SO MUCH MORE than what they're being given. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are THE MOST POPULAR CHEERLEADERS IN THE U.S., and should be respected as such, JUST LIKE THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS!
I love how Trixie has an makeup empire, but for Netflix Katya goes to ask for the raise. This is the best thing ever. Katya: "You know what can come between me and a rehab? 200 000 dollars." 😂 And as an addict myself, this is a very reasonable money.
8:02 takes me back to when I had a swim instructor job and they made everyone do a course on the history of Red Cross then never talked about again lol

Lmfao
this made me almost cry laughing
She's an icon. 🫶
Psychic
“Dancers are the soldiers of the art world” katya that is so true and profound holy shit

Same I yearn for the kooky drag
we are so back baby
nature is healing
@pixiebomb28 the movies are back ***crying in UnHhhh***
for once I'm glad I read the comments, I WOULDVE NEVER SEEN THAT LOL thank you
Trixie several hours into watching Dallas cowboys documentary: “is this in Dallas?”
And it's not. They're either in Frisco or Arlington.
She is psychic
@MichaelBriggs3 Arlington, like in King of the Hill? 😅
@MichaelBriggs3seemed like frisco to me
Frisco and Arlington are part of the Dallas metroplex @MichaelBriggs3
A second string cowboys player who barely sees the field makes like 10x more than them. It’s crazy
Not when you consider the NFL is the biggest sports league in the world, and the fans are there to see the players, not so much the cheerleaders.
@stevencramsie9172They are still members of the franchise. They can afford to pay them a comfortable livable wage.
@stevencramsie9172This would be a fair point with any other team, but the Cowboys' cheerleaders are a huge draw, that's why they made this entire show about them.
Players are playing for hours. Cheerleaders are there for minutes.
@user-hv2qt5wv2d So? 😂😂
these women got paid the same as substitute teachers up until a couple months ago, now they get paid the same as a teacher (both deserve more money)
They need a union!
It's so infuriating that the football players (men) get paid millions of dollars and meanwhile the cheerleaders (women) are making peanuts and then getting told they will get "free" Botox, and salon appointments (and yeah they're barely in their 20s!) 😱🤬
Can you imagine if the guys were told they were being paid with like gym memberships and f*cking sneakers? Do you think they would be okay with that absloute BS? 🤷♀️
@Cuddly-Cactusthis is such a good point!!
@TeaghanYoung
Indeed! And I always think of what the reverse or in this case something similar would be like when it comes to double standards and blatant sexism.
Professional football players sign contracts where they get paid millions of dollars per season, and so it was even more insulting that the cheerleaders had to do a zoom call to figure out if they should just go on strike to get a mere few thousands of dollars more for all their hard work.

@kashtrey I know, so sad when they can't hoard more wealth

Fitting the dancers before cutting them is DIABOLICAL!!!
Indeed! And plus the make overs too. Giving these women new hair styles, cuts, colors, extensions ect, only to find out later, NOPE sorry, you didn't get picked! 😱

It's such an infuriating insult! Every single one of thoes women could easily be a fashion model or a dancer for Lady Gaga (or some other pop star) or an actress, ect.

One of the craziest things for me is the girls wash and clean their own uniforms. You would think they would have someone in house or a partnership with a laundry service. It's shocking the girls are even allowed to bring it home.
Sooo wrong! They have to work FT jobs
Agreed for all the sponsorships they have they could partner with a laundry service so they aren’t up at 1 am scrubbing shorts with a tooth brush
And then they aren't even allowed to keep the uniforms fitted to their body...
@max_sch4462
That's f*cking ridiculous! What the hell do they do with their uniforms when the women "retire" after a season or a few? Sell them on f*cking Ebay?! 🤷♀️
I was a competitive cheerleader as a teen & we weren't even allowed to take our uniforms home. Or clean them. Yet this professional empire has them taking home iconic uniforms. Its insane.
I agree about the lack of rhinestones. It’s such a missed opportunity.
the ones they are wearing are just templates- the real ones on game day have Crystals on them.. Hand sewn on
@monicam7008 god that's so cunty... like I really feel for these ladies and what they're going thru. But also that's so glamorous oh my god
@monicam7008
Yeah, there's like tiny ones that only go around the border of the little blue stars and that's it. It should be bedazzled looking, make thoes uniforms look like Bob Mackie designed them! 💯
I did see some crystal stars afterwards but not NEARLY ENOUGH! Imagine all those lights hitting 30+ gorgeous women being overly sparkly 🥹
The cowboys haven’t been to the NFC championship since the 90s….many people go to the games FOR the cheerleaders PAY THESE GIRLS
Yeah and the number of straight guys watching professional sport ball games is in the millions! Give us less of the men running around tossing a ball to each other and more of the cheerleaders! (And I'm a straight woman that loves watching them, the dancing and acrobatic routines are just amazing to watch! And they all look amazing too!)
@Cuddly-Cactus Ma'am, you're just perpetuating the sexualizing of these women by making these kinds of statements.
Lol, many people do NOT go to the games because of the cheerleaders, they’re just a bonus. Doesn’t matter how far teams get in the playoffs, the fans go for the football. That’s why teams that are historically terrible every year like Cleveland, fill their stands every week
@stevencramsie9172
Yeah we know that most people attend sports ball games to watch guys run around and toss a ball to each other. (Which is super boring compared to what the acrobats/dancers, aka the cheerleaders, and doing on the field. Plus there's music!)
And I really don't get the whole thing of let's go watch this losing team play again this week even though they lost so much last season. Small town pride must be the reason, well, that and once the country fair is over there's literally nothing else to do in places like Cleveland Ohio!
Hey ya'll wanna go watch the corn grow? 🤣💀
@stevencramsie9172They do bro, the cheerleaders are a big deal.
those quiz questions seem like a tactic to encourage devotion. like a cult tactic. it’s something greek organizations do too
This. It made my skin crawl.
Be serious. The Divine challenge on drag race is cult indoctrination? There's nothing wrong with learning about the history of your art.
lol it’s not, it’s like Trixie mentioned, the girls do press, radio, and of course engage in conversations with fans. They have to be knowledgeable about the organization they are representing.
@dollywhitley3314
To be fair, do you think the football players (men) need to memorize all thoes pages of crap like the cheerleaders (women) do? 🤷♀
Football players also talk to the press and their fans, but I don't think I've ever seen any vidoes of them sitting around reading pages of information that they need to memorize before practice. These women are really being treated super unfairly and it's disgusting.
@Cuddly-Cactus they don’t need football players to be smart, they don’t even need em to be able to talk. They only need results and to be able to work with their teammates, and cheerleaders def aren’t gonna be getting concussed on the field on a regular basis.
SHAKING RN WE NEED QUEER ULTIMATUM SEASON 2 REACT NEXT PLEASE IM BEGGING
Praying our way to this so the Lord can lead us through it 🙏🙏
Yessss we need it
PLEASE IM BEGGING
God yeah, them reacting to the first season was the best episode of We Like to Watch by far
OMGG THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING THE SECOND I CLICKED ON THIS OML
Organizing your workplace union is iconic and brave.
not everything is ''iconic'' in this life, it's just a necessity, grow up.
@yevgeniyaleshchenko849
Bro, organizing to get a 400% pay increase in a multimillion dollar industry that has systemically discriminated against women since the beginning of time is actually a big f*cking deal. The women that filed the lawsuits and stood up their bosses to get better pay are definitely iconic! 💯
You need to grow up and realize that there's still such hatred and discrimination against women in this country, maybe go watch the news sometime, or better yet go read an article or two. (Or ask your mom to read it to you, child.) 🤦♀
Just FYI to the kids: This show has actually been on CMT since 2006. And just about nothing has changed. I guess the original series ran on CMT until 2021, then Netflix picked it back up as a successor series last year. Kelli has been scrutinizing women’s bodies and appearances for almost 20 years on national TV!
it needed to be said!
That's so sad
As wild as Kelli is, she is one of the primary reasons why they are finally getting paid better, why they have all those sponsorships, and why they've had several long-running TV shows. The dancers have always had their own, but they never had respect,
Meanwhile Kelly looks like a bag of sun splotched bones when she is bold to show her body. and i am not bodyshaming but when she gets ready and proudly saunters around but has the nerve to call these ladies out on their bodies in various ways IS RICH to say the least. Cover that up! we came for them. not her!
Diabolical!
Just noticed Katya’s three little fingers in the hair. It’s like Malignant. There’s another Katya back there.
Looove this 😂
I can't explain it but "There's another Katya back there" is the most chilling thing I've read all week
I never see a malignant reference in the wild, thank you for this!!
She who shall not be named 😂
(Also yes fuck jk Rowling it was just the first thing I thought of)
This show truly feels like something only a dystopian novel could come up with... the grotesque, the picture perfect girls, the exploitation... they're incredibly talented but the whole system sends chills down my spine
Yea watching lambs to the slaughter …
YES I’m really uncomfortable with …cheering that on. It’s really grotesque, that was a great word
Agreed! I've been watching the show, and it is grotesque indeed!
The cheerleaders (women) did manage to get better salaries, (and it only took several lawsuits!) However, it's nothing like the millions of dollars the football players (men) get, and they don't even have health insurance but the NFL pulls in massive profits every year. The levels of blatant sexism in professional sports is appalling! 🤬
You’re just jealous lol. This is all fun and games
@tekgid433
Yeah, I'm totally jealous of watching women that need to work 3 or more jobs in order to make ends meet. Yup, you got me bro! 🤦♀
Sexism is super fun! 🙄
bro that whole botox presentation scene was honestly so disturbing lol those girls are not only young, but naturally gorgeous too. why the hell would they need botox or fillers? can't women just be allowed to age like normal human beings and i don't know, be able to move their own faces? i feel so bad for them.
Calm down, most women ARE allowed and do age naturally (although not appropriate to use ''aging'' about 20-year-olds lmao)
@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 what do you mean "calm down"? i'm already calm lol and sure, most women do age naturally, but women in the entertainment industry are constantly pressured to get botox and fillers just like the girls in the video, which is disgusting since some of them aren't even in their twenties yet.
@HélioReghin
Yeah that part is so messed up, do NOT tell women that are barely in their 20s that they need Botox and fillers like its a f*cking job requirement. Instead make sure they get hip and knee replacements. (And in the show one of the women that had been a DCC for a few seasons got one of her hips replaced and was using a special type of brace and crutches to get around, and yeah, she was only in her mid 20s. I felt so bad for her, and you know they recommend that these new joints need to be replaced every so often so she's going to need more surgery eventually.)
Free botox, but healthcare?
U r such a pick me 😂
screen says kevin
trixie: is this kevin?
trixie watching DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS
also trixie: is this in dallas?... yeah that's kevin
LMFAOOOOO
Katya has such a comforting voice, face, and sensibility.
100%
Trixie screaming 'I hate football so much'
Like yes girl why don't we have 90 minutes of cheerleading and 20 minutes of football
@austryelia
You would think that it would make more sense for the NFL to do that, especially with all the straight men watching the Super Bowl and all the other games every season! (I'm so glad by husband isn't one of these sportball nut guys! We watch some of the Olympics together but that's about it as far as sports go for us!)
Have you ever been to a professional game? Its like 3 hours of time, but they only play for like 20 minutes in those 3 hours because theyre ALWAYS breaking for sponsors and commercials. Its sooooo boring
Katya doing quirky wigs. We are SOO BACK
Not sure if she meant to but the way Katya said "polyester" at 10:47 sounds like Polly Esther which would be an amazing drag name
Can’t wait to rewatch this 50 times until the next episode
Girl I always do but this cheerleader crap makea me vomit. 😂😂 I can barely hang
I'm called out
@angelawilliamson6107 Is it only me or the editing in this one seems a bit off and katya/trixie seem so tired and bored
thought I was the only one lmao
You and me both, babe
It feels so interesting to watch this as an Eagles fan because the male cheerleader on the squad for that team (I can't remember if he's the only man on the squad or not) is a special education teacher in Philly when he's not cheering. Watching them talk about financial stuff with cheerleading so interesting because the amount of rigamarole that they go through just to get on the team makes me feel like it has to be a full-time job
“Where is my Lorazepam?” “Buddhism.” I AM WHEEZING AT THIS 😭😭😭😭
These people who run the cheerleader squad are literal sociopaths lmao
FINALLY BOB NETFLICK WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
GET OFF THE FLOOR BOB NETFLICK
Huge shout out to the cheerleader with alopecia. She's showing young people with the disease that it shouldn't stop them from doing what they love and or dream of and they'll still look beautiful without a wig. Snaps for Armani Latimer
Completely agreed! 💯
Miss Armani looks stunning, and she reminds me of the women of Wakanda from the Marvel movies! A super pretty face can really pull off the bald look, and she certainly does! 👏
Seems like the Cowboys lawyers got to the production company that does this show. None of the horrible behavior from the coaches and mangers was shown. Especially the real reason Chandi “decided to take a leave of absence”
What was the reason?
@DAQ34allegedly- she brought a guy to her shared room in the Bahamas, which is apparently against the team rules
@Sofia-jd7dz
There's that and the fact that she had gone through a rough break up with her boyfriend, and she was struggling with some mental health issues. (And before that she was in an abusive relationship with a crazy alcoholic guy that was not only physically and mentally abusive, but he was stalking her while she was hanging out with her new boyfriend.)
There's even a scene in the show where she describes how awful he treated her, and the fact that she filed charges against him for domestic violence, but they were actually dropped. She had several witnesses and even photos of the bruises he left on her body but somehow that wasn't enough evidence to get him convicted for DV. It was both heartbreaking and infuriating to watch. She seems like such a sweet person, my heart really goes out to her. 💔
@Sofia-jd7dz thank you for explaining. I did see the series, but I thought they were saying it was something else that happened that was not mentioned.
@Sofia-jd7dz
Yeah, I saw that in the one of the episodes, and the reaction from the other cheerleaders was kind of ridiculous, they were talking as though she invited Ted Bundy over!
I mean, if she didn't know the guy that well then that's not great just because of the potential safety issues, but literally nothing bad happened! No one was harmed in any way.
Besides, someone would have to be a complete moron to hurt one of the DCC, like that's definitely going be catch attention!
“Wow…they are…very…synchronized” - Katya hypnotized by cheerleaders
17:29 "I could have a knife" 😂😂😂😂 We all need a Katya in our lives.
Imagine having to do all that cheerleading only for the Dallas Cowboys to lose the game, I just think that'd be very funny
That’s exactly what happened in season one. They lost sooo early in the season so the girls that worked so hard just to be on the team only preformed at 4 games and then it was over.
As a 50 something who was routinely called a bulldagger, I freakin cackled. Most of my PTSD stems from the AIDS pandemic so I’m thrilled to be able to laugh at that, especially picturing my friend Lenny flying through the air🤣
That part made me laugh so hard 😂
Whee!
Hahaha ❤
these two blonde women are so wholesome they've helped me with my AIDS PTSD. It's wonderful. our generation needs to see this kind of unapologetic and honest queer expression, it helps with old wounds ❤🩹
"How funky is your chicken? How loose is your goose?"😂😂☠️
Oh, how I cherish these two.
That synchronized clam slam is truly so impressive.
@annajo6576
From now on, they are no longer going to be called jump splits, they are officially Clam Slams! 🤣💀
7:40 “she’s back in the villa” LOVE ISLAND MENTION, THANK YOU TRIXIE😭‼️
glad to see Katya really returning to her UNHhhh roots with the 3 fingers poking out of the top of her head🤣🤣
“We have something that would go great with that lazy eye” 😂😂 Katya has such great one liners 21:35
I can’t speak on these girls, but in ballet or for gymnastics we used spray rosin or similar things to keep our leotards from moving out of place 😅
12:16 has been my question EVERYTIME I see the kick line.
😂😂😂😂
😂
Same!!!
13:28 Trixie might aswell be a DCC by that high-kick alone 🤩
what's awful about this sort of environment is that it's so toxic but matters SO MUCH to these girls like, they're treated like shit and like objects and told to be grateful for it. i hate these kinds of spaces so much.
I just noticed the fingers in Katya's wig at 2:33 sksksksks she's BAAAACKKKKKKK
Stumbling upon this eagerly awaited new episode unexpectedly is enough to bring a little tear to these eyes.
Heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
It was so inventive of them to combine two overhead florescent office lights and a usb nightlight in order to give the queens full 3 point lighting
When they light the set, the red and blue bounce off the white. So they either have to blast the set with too much light or under light it.
Agreed, this lighting is criminal.
@Wild_D They should have kept the red/pink set :/
I'm from here and I've been to most of these places where things have been set.
8:15 The Cowboys organization is really big on legacy and the teams history so that doesn't suprise me that they need to do all that. I wouldn't put it past them to make the football players do some homework as well. Knowing Jerry Jones role is important because hes their boss and his daughter is a huge part of the show
17:10 The cheerleaders just got a 4x salary increase after the success of the show which is so great.
"Or I should be a paralegal.........." 😂😂😂😭😭😭 as a broken dancer this resonates so much!
How can they pay the football players so much and not pay the cheerleaders a living wage. Sickening behavior
In 20 years, Netflix will finally have a backdrop that neither clashes nor distract from their clothes
Aw I think it's fun
The half and half worked super well
i made it to 18:25 before i realized that katya had 3 little fingers in her wig.
Me too
Thank you 🙏
She's wavingggg! Helloooo! Hello hi!! 💃
my jaw dropped when she showed the girl a picture of another girl and went “i thought that wasn’t you 😊” she 100% knew it wasn’t the same girl, and if she didn’t, she should not be doing that job. those girls don’t get paid nearly enough to deal with the abuse.
the two girls that she confused weren’t white either… get it together miss girl
Micro-aggression
This has happened to me with a professor multiple times, I'm pretty sure that lady just mixes up her minorities 🤦
And agreed, that cheerleader was very professional about it considering she probably went home and cried 😢🔪
Katya looks like someone who tells me I’m gonna die in 37 hours. and I am living for it, or not, i guess…
RIP pretty baby
I need Trixie and Katya to react to every piece of media that exists. Only then will the price that I keep forgetting Netflix is charging me every month feel a little worth it.
auditioning at that level has to be so soul-crushing sometimes bc no one is bad, that girl to your right was just better in some way and u gotta take that L
Honestly disgusting that the cheerleaders dont make liveable wages, while the players and owners of the team rake in the millions
I haven’t seen this but I’m so glad they’re talking about money. I heard somewhere they only got $60 each game at one point. Idk if that’s still the same
Love the gals and this series, but hate the exploitation, manipulation and general gentrified grossness of American cheerleading....
I really wish the set was cozier. I want the 90's den, normcore and I want it NOW lol this set is cute but it's just so....sterile and uninviting. I want the comfy space with pillows and warm, inviting and cozy colors.
totally agree 🫶🏼
Yes! Gimme kitsch
Agree! This whole episode feels off
Yeah, hate the set this year.
Agreed. It reminds me of the Liz Claiborne perfume from the 1980s
7:01 not Katya actually spelling my last name with an ‘a’ instead of an ‘e’ and ‘nne’ tacked on the end 😂🤦♂️ fml
“There’s something very dead about it” had me absolutely GAGGED 😂
They should've included this business when they made How to Be a Cult Leader
@15:19 The fact that Trixie knew this guy off the top is crazy.
*"How funky is your chicken. How loose is your goose?"*
How I miss UNHhhh
I'm just so captivated by Katya's entire look and vibe. She's GORGEOUS. And also, just how refreshing was it to watch two gay men just react so loving and wholesome to these talented and drop dead gorgeous women?
Fingers sticking out of katya’s wig? The world is healing mama
*A fingergun at Katya* "You like your hair don't you Stephanie?"😆😆
Halfway through, I remembered this is all for a football game 😂
This is a lot of work for a cheerleading job that doesn't pay 😅
these two biological women have been showing me programs I would never otherwise watch for YEARS. Bless them.
I don't understand why you said they are biological women. Both Katya and trixie, Brian's in real life, are very open about being homosexual men who dress and drag. Not once have they ever said that they are women or want to be called that. Just weird and disrespectful for you to say so.
@j.ray555it’s a common bit they do between each other. They have said it many times over the years of their material. It is a long running joke.
I'll be the first to admit when I made a mistake. Weird though, I've been watching drag race since 2009, I've watched every episode of uhhhh... and Netflix we like to watch and never caught it. I believe you though , and apologize if I misinterpreted what you were saying ❤@masterkaters
Personally as a football fan of Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, the owner, makes a ton of money on the team/franchise. The franchise is ICONIC!!!! The cheerleaders deserve as much credit to the team’s fame as much as the players. Pay them accordingly!
WE ARE SO BACK
WE ARE SO BALD
THE BALD AND THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE BACK
My friend from college is an NFL cheerleader (3 years as of last season) and she definitely has a fuck ton of press events she’s required to go to. Charity events, local news interviews,fun runs, etc.
Have I ever heard of this show? No. Will I watch tf out of this? Absolutely.
Just discovered it 4 months ago. I've watched every episode in existence. 😂
Trixie and Katya?? Or The Dallas Cowboys? 😭
@gabe6495NEVER trixie and katya!!! My biological mothers
the dallas cowboy cheerleaders DON'T MAKE A LIVABLE WAGE?!
they just got a raise!
They were making 15/hr and now make 75/hr!
I only know of this bc im a dallasite. all of them have full-time jobs. teachers, nurses, doctors, what have you. they have to rehearse during the day of their job.
I laughed so hard at the “we’re old men but we have the fingers!”
Damn these women making Drag Race look like a children’s Halloween costume competition lol
I couldnt watch this on my own because i just feel like crying for them 😭 it breaks my heart to see these beautiful young women who are so talented be treated soooo surface level. And i understand this is the game and this is what they want, but god i hate that its even a thing. Its going to change the trajectory of their life in a negative way. They really will battle that mental prison forever. Ive seen it a million times in women both in and out of the "beauty" related industries. Its a very bitter sweet thing, im happy for them but my heart breakssss. I just hope they know how amazing they are and i just wishhhhh they could stand up for themselves in that industry way more.
Im obsessed with the fingers in katyas hair
Shea Couleé is like, "Oh, my shoulder still clicks!!" 🤸🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️💨
i wonder who's making money from the netflick series, probably not the cheerleaders
Previous college male cheerleader here, just wanna give y'all my perspective. I had NEVER cheered for a college before I tried out, only had high school band & mascot experience, but when I made the squad my entire semester of school was paid by the cheerleading scholarship. We had to buy our own shoes & pay for our megaphones (only male cheerleaders used them) but total that was like $100 or so? We had practice EVERY Mon/Weds/Fri/Sat from 6am-8am, and again from 6pm-8pm the same days & worked out in the gym on our own time (I usually went at 5am to already be there for practice) but as far as getting paid outside of the scholarship, we got nothing & that was fine with me because I loved cheering! I cannot FATHOM being a DALLAS COWBOY CHEERLEADER making that RIDICULOUS amount of money considering how much they're put through! From tryouts to training camp to cheering at games, I seriously cannot believe they aren't being paid at LEAST a fraction of what the football players make because if you know anything about the Cowboys, the cheerleaders are arguably more popular than the football team itself! We got to take our uniforms home but on certain days we left them on campus because we had someone who took care of cleaning/tailoring them when needed so the fact that they have to WASH THEIR OWN UNIFORMS is crazy to me especially when the players don't! The players literally make MILLIONS and the cheerleaders are on the field the same amount of time as the players AND perform for halftime, while these ladies are working full time jobs and have school etc too!? Like that's insane to me that they have the audacity to dangle Botox & other free stuff in their faces in exchange for fair pay when really they can get that stuff for free anyways by doing collabs or partnerships or sponsorships with the brands individually or as a team! Those ladies should be getting paid at LEAST a couple hundred thousand or something more than $15-20/hr considering all they have to do to get prepped for game time! It's genuinely crazy to me that they don't make more or even get health insurance like people really don't respect the arts like dance and cheer because they're more commonly women driven! I can bet any amount of money if cheerleaders were majority male, this wouldn't even be a CONVERSATION! They need to revisit the pay situation a few more times even though they've gotten a little raise since this came out like those women deserve SO MUCH MORE than what they're being given. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are THE MOST POPULAR CHEERLEADERS IN THE U.S., and should be respected as such, JUST LIKE THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS!
"how funky is your chicken, how loose is your goose" HAHAHAHAHAHHA
Fun Fact: Trixie mentions the Packers but one of the things I respect about them (which is hard as a Bears fan) - they don’t have cheerleaders. 😎
full body chills
I relate to Trixie as marching band practices with the cheerleaders lasted the entire day before a game!
“There’s something very Tumor Necrosis Factor about this” TNF MENTION🔥🔥
I love how Trixie has an makeup empire, but for Netflix Katya goes to ask for the raise. This is the best thing ever.
Katya: "You know what can come between me and a rehab? 200 000 dollars." 😂
And as an addict myself, this is a very reasonable money.
“Nobody can have a bang”😂 as someone with bangs I’m waiting for my representation lmao
"Where are the rhonestonezzzz-UNHhhhhhhhh!?!?!?!?" - Katya
Katya's HAIR. I love this marvelous trip into the past.😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Alll those sponsors and they can’t pay those girls a living wage
8:02 takes me back to when I had a swim instructor job and they made everyone do a course on the history of Red Cross then never talked about again lol
“WHERE ARE THE RINESTONEZAAH?!”
"I am the sandwich man, know what I mean?"
"No."
XDDDDD
“Imagine what the Green Bay Packers get.”
“EBT”
I CACKLED 😂😂
It’s funny cause GB doesn’t even have cheerleaders 😭
"Its giving lorazepam." OMG 😂
