    Hundreds audition, but only a select group will secure spots in the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders training camp. DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell oversee the intense audition process and decide which hopefuls will make the team.

      Absolutely. One of the crumbiest displays of favoritism in any workplace is when someone is given dozens of chances beyond what others get. Her media day was terrible in not knowing the Nick Foles wasn't on the Cowboys. Her panel interview was cringe. Every guest choreographer said she was behind. Maybe by the end she improved somewhat but she had weeks of poor performance that would have eliminated anyone else. So it's unfortunate to see her supporters saying "she worked hard and improved" when literally anyone else would have been cut after 3 or 4 weeks.

    Everyone saying Meredith would’ve made a better Rockette seems to forget that her issues aren’t only that she’s not experienced in the DCC style, it’s that she even admitted herself she’s not good at picking up any choreography on the spot which is crucial if you’re going to be any kind of professional dancer. It’s obvious that it’s not only that DCC isn’t her style, it’s that she’s inept at picking up choreography and remembering it. I’m surprised no one mentioned how ditzy she comes across during training camp, I mean for an organization that prides itself on having intelligent women you’d think they would’ve talked to Meredith about she comes across so clueless. What I still don’t understand is how she thinks she’s worked so hard for it when she had a whole year to take Pom and hip-hop classes and didn’t. I think she’s used to getting by on her looks because she really isn’t not nearly as hard of a worker as she seems to believe herself to be.

She was cut her first year for some minor issues, nothing even remotely close as an issue as something Meredith was struggling with. So this shows that even tho Melissa had a crush on Maddie she didn’t make it her first year because obviously the guest judges aren’t the ones making the final decisions.

    The story around Meridith is interesting...rumors about her dating someone who is well acquainted with Jerry Jones. The fact that she makes continuous mistakes on the field, apparently witnessed by people in the comments section. Of course knowing people in power is an asset. However, the show has made it apparent that there is a significant difference in treatment between the girls who are well connected or exceptionally young (less skilled) vs. those with talent.

She maintained a strong amazing attitude while always under scrutiny from everyone around her, she and Lily both earned their support from their team.

There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s hard to do if you haven’t been extensively trained in that specific style. She just doesn’t have the power and dynamic style that the other dancers have. They cut dancers who were better than her because she has the look they want. I’m sure she’ll get it figured out eventually, but she just doesn’t have it right now and it’s clear they kept her because she’s one of those girls they think will be ready later but might not try out again. She’s a great dancer, she really just needed another year.

    I've been watching the whole DCC playlist of "then and now." For almost every cheerleader, the comments are almost universally positive and supportive. This impressed me because I expected there to be some ignorant stereotypical comments about cheerleaders being airheads etc. Meredith's is the 2nd "then and now" I've seen where there is a lot of negativity. (The first was Judy's daughter Cassie.) The most common complaint seems to be that people think Meredith received favourable treatment. Do you think that Meredith was more favoured than Lily, for example?
    There is a "then and now" of Lily as well.
    Meredith had an impeccable dance technique which Kelli and Judy were able to appreciate for what it was. She did not have training in the type of dancing required by DCC. I agree that she could have taken classes in the year in which she did not make it onto the training squad, but we don't know what else was going on in her life during that year, either.
    Melissa Rycroft has worked with numerous of these young ladies who needed a bit of extra help to make the squad. Eg. Christina, Lily, Yuko. I don't see why Meredith is different from them.
    I don't think Meredith is used to getting by on her looks at all because she said when she moved to New York after earning a college degree in dance, she did not get any role that she auditioned for. The job in Guam, which is a tiny isolated island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, was not prestigious, although it sounds like she had fun, and it was a good learning experience.
    I think Meredith deserves the benefit of the doubt as much as any of the other young women. I'm really impressed with everybody's commitment, professionalism and passion!

    The first thing anyone says about Mérida is how beautiful she is. Everyone said it. I think the best thing you can say about a woman is how intelligent and kind and strong they are. Then they can be pretty.

    Thank you for this video of Meredith. She was an underdog for sure, but she triumphed in the end. I'd rather see a woman whose personality and vulnerability shines through than a simply perfect automaton. And I will say this: If there's a modern-day "Helen", Meredith's face could "launch a thousand ships". She's simply the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I only feel bad for her that the season got cut short because of the pandemic. I hope she returns for the next squad.

    Meredith has that classy maturity and integrity which is very rare among girls, no wonder they liked her so much and wanted to keep her up to the end! Loved this Meredith! Really wonderful personality!!!

    I'm glad Meredith made the team. She didn't give up on herself or her dream. She took good instruction and worked hard to make the adjustments. She looked from within for strength as well as good counsel from the other squad members.
