When they zoom into their bellies saying they’re out of shape... it breaks my heart. This is how you create eating disorders.
Ugh. Showing up in the tiny white shorts kingdom- knowing full well their unusual build template -;if you dont exemplify it is disordered.
No it's not how eating disorders are created. If they are soft in the middle and chubby, they shouldn't be there.
@@mrsx7944 Courtney Cook ended up with a serious eating disorder due to trying to keep her weight down to fit in the uniform. Kaitlyn from Season 8 had a seizure during a practice due to trying to lose weight. A training camp candidate in Season 7 ended up in Urgent Care the night before cameo shoot day due to becoming ill trying to fit in her uniform. Megan from Season 9 ended up with body image issues due to being told her body does not fit right in the uniform. One year girl Mandy left due to the fact they told her she was fat for her uniform, and they wanted to use her weight issue for a story line. Do not say eating disorders and body image issues do not happen.
@@nancyleddige6997 they all know the standards before they join the team. They choose to develop eating disorders while there are healthier ways. I have zero sympathy for them.
@@nancyleddige6997 you named 4 or 5 ppl that developed "issues". Yet you ignore the HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS that didn't. 😂. Jackie Bob said it was easy to maintain the weight by healthy eating and exercise.
Every year : "this was the most competitive year we have ever had"
it does get better every year though tbh 😂
It keeps changing every year. The dance world is getting higher and higher standards so it gets more competitive every year.
I agree about it getting better and tougher. Seriously, Kelli Finglass and the blond one would NEVER be able to make the team now days. Good thing they tried out in the 80’s.
The girls keep getting better
I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣
If those girls were classified as “heavy” then I must be dangerously OBESE.
Edit: Also, this was completely a joke so don’t get so butt hurt Kristy🥴😉
I heard someone say that it’s in their contract to maintain their audition weight but honestly none of those girls are overweight at all it’s disheartening.
The girls are scrawny but that's the type. Feeling bad for not fitting that type is as crazy as feeling bad about yourself because lljockeys have to be teeny.
oh same...also idk I fele like college cheerleaders are so sexualized?
Same! Although I went from a 0 to a 6 😬
Kelly too!!!
"She is thick"
"She gained weight"
"She is heavier"
Comments like this make me hate the DCC. Some of these women are my dream body goals.
They also get paid like $3 an hour. It’s so exploitative. And sexist. It’s awful.
And they also have to pay for everything to keep up their look.
Truth hurts.
TheHound fat shaming isn’t criticism. Criticism is critiques on their dancing. Not their bodies.
You might as well call having specific parameters for hockey's 'fat shaming'
"I make the uniform" is a valid statement because nobody would take the uniforms seriously if the girls wearing them were bad performers. The uniform needs a talented dancer to wear it otherwise it just sits on the rack.
Exactly you bring your own personality and unique experience to the team. It’s weird if they are wanting them to believe the uniform makes them... cultish
I thought that was a great answer. It’s the personalities that make a cheerleader and a good ambassador. They can appreciate the organization, but without a personality...
This organization is all about women not taking credit for their own abilities. Everytime a cheerleader shows any real self confidence or pride in her abilities, they cut her.
Ingrid Heide Exactly! It’s either kiss up or get cut.
AGREED
I completely disagree with their line of thinking regarding the uniform making the person. The woman makes the uniform, NOT the other way around. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders would be nothing without the incredible women who wear the uniform. Otherwise it’s just a bunch of fabric with stars and fringe, nothing more.
The uniform is iconic, I live in New Zealand I don't know a single thing about football Couldn't name any team or player but growing up we all knew the Dallas cowboys cheerleader uniforms, wearing the uniform means your the best of the best ,
To be fair Kelly did say "you threw out a landmine, and she tripped up" I think she was saying it was kinda tricky question
I somewhat agree & I don't think that answer was as much of a strike as they made it. It's all context. You can't just put the uniform on anyone because the uniform is the most important thing. Without the right young ladies in it, it loses its status.
yeah, it was a very tricky question...however, her being a vet she should know that the Cowboys Org. takes themselves very seriously (they have a quote on the wall in the Star that says "it's a privilege, not a right, to be a part of the Cowboys") 🙄 the smart thing would have been to err on the side of caution & suck up a little 🤷🏻♀️
@@poppinincolumbus5027 good interpretation,
Nothing makes you lose your self esteem quite like them telling these women they’re overweight
They didn’t say overweight they said out of shape. I’ll agree that they are crazy strict and they probably go overboard, but to keep up with the DCC routines you have to have the stamina which usually means you have to be in God like shape. I mean she fell out of a double turn... and they said it wasn’t the first time she did that. That’s a really basic move. If she’s falling out of doubles that means her stamina isn’t there. It’s not about the number on the scale
LavenousForever it’s about their athleticism and also the number on the scale. It’s blatantly obvious during uniform fittings.
Do you lose your self esteem because jockeys have to be mini people and fashion models with rare exceptions are over 5'8" and height is prefered?
My ballet teachers say I’m overweight all the time even though I’m 12 y.o 5ft 2 and 36 kg and it suck
@@kaitlyns9972 why would your self esteem be tied to what the DCCs look like UNLESS you're also trying to become a DCC? Don't be a drama queen.
I don’t like the fact that veterans are being cut solely on their weight when they aren’t even that far you can still see their ribs just because they don’t have the perfect body doesn’t mean you should just get rid of them.
Yeah I would understand if they gained 15-20 pounds later in the season.... but being a little soft or less out of shape at the start of training camp doesn’t seem like a reason to cut someone. They almost certainly will tone up pretty fast with training. Like I get that their figure is part of a job requirement ...but if they haven’t even moved up a size is it really worth cutting someone?
Its just part of the job in others sports and jobs people have to compromise and here as well
But they sort of have to, it’s incredibly competitive and they have to cut SOMEONE. Also, they need to look like a cohesive group that’s why they’re all around the same height as well. It’s all in their contracts, they all agreed to it, just how it goes
@@MorganCPaige show up in fighting shaoem it's about respect for the team and its expectations showing up out of shape hurts any athletes chances
lasts exactly tough self-discipline and competitive drive is required.
how is saying “i make the uniform” a bad thing? the uniform doesn’t make the dancer. the dancer makes the dancer.
I didn’t get that either.
Well, hell yes the dancer makes the uniform! They could put me in a uniform but it wouldn't magically transform me into a dancer. Their slavish devotion to a symbol is unintelligent and cringeworthy.
I kind of get it. There's a lot of pride in that uniform, a lot of history. To wear the uniform should be an honor, it should have a huge impact on you. To say "you make the uniform" kind of says you have a bigger impact than the uniform does. If you put another uniform on her, she's just another cheerleader but if you put another girl in the uniform, she's a DCC. The uniform means something and she's replaceable. That's just my take on it.
kryskaryn I absolutely agree, actually! But I have to admit, when they posed that question I agreed that the dancer makes the uniform, because if they didn’t hire the best, or they let dancers slack off, the uniform wouldn’t be much of a symbol of anything- it would be another cheerleading uniform.
Tbh I’m torn, and I honestly think that if they had worded their reasons better, they could have answered either way.
That was a tricky question. She should’ve said both she makes the uniform and the uniform makes her. Something like... the uniform is recognized around the world and I would wear it with grace and poise and own it like a rockstar.
I felt so bad for her because she thought she did so good 😔
The “I make the uniform” question was a straight up trap. They could’ve taken either answer any way they chose.
Exactly. They simply decide whether they like a girl and her answer is appropriate or not based on that. Same with weight gain. Plenty of favorites were on weight warning but they overlooked it. Megan Sharp showed up to cameos so heavy they had to give her new shorts but she wasn't cut.
Fun with Cupcakes they often have other concerns along side the weight gain. Remember that the program is highly edited, we don’t see the whole process
That really made me mad since it’s the woman who makes the uniform, not the other way around. They act like the uniform is some magical outright and it’s not, the woman brings life into it.
Through all these videos, has anyone seen the girls eat anything,.???
No matter how she answered that question, they would have mocked/criticized her
“Over the last couple of years she’s fluctuated like 8 Pounds!!”
I fluctuate 8 pound in a month. 😐
#periodweight
You're not a DCC though and probably never will be lol
I think I fluctuate that every few weeks lol.
It definitely would suck for sure being told that
@@__eganista6372 haha that’s for sure. I grew up as dancer but couldn’t cut it as a professional.
Wow Marina D you are hateful
@Marina D what is your problem?
Kelli and Judy become uncomfortable when the girl called into the office begs for another chance, but then they act totally shocked and almost insulted when they DON'T beg. LoL
That's how you handle that. Go out like a boss! Leave with your dignity intact🤗
I noticed that too! They look highly insulted when a cut acts like it’s no big deal
Can not stand them
The men sitting in a room and calling perfect bodies “overweight” made me sick to my stomach.
5-8 lbs on a dancer can be a big deal for a dancers stamina. These are basically professional athletes so they shouldn't even be having weight problems periodT.
@@Dcc333 I am a college cheerleader, I know how weight gain affects routines and endurance. multiple times the men said “they’re amazing dancers” or “i like their dancing” but they followed it up with “but they’re overweight” or “they’re too big” when the women were most likely under 130lbs with a flat stomach as well. their dance wasn’t the issue most of the time, it was their body. and to take it a step further, they almost didn’t let maddie on the team because the girl had dark hair, and thin eyebrows… like seriously??! and she turned out to be a DCC legend. just tired of the men making backhanded compliments like i stated earlier. to turn a girl down not because of her dancing, but because she doesn’t have an hourglass body, is a little off putting. especially when it comes from men who don’t have any clue about dance but are just there to say whether he thinks she looks hot or not. it’s just a little weird to me. I appreciate ur comment, and I hope I explained my view/opinion enough to where we can understand each other, even if we don’t agree!
@@brooklynrochet1131 you being a college cheerleader doesnt mean you know what youre talking about. College cheer and NFL cheer are 2 different worlds. College Cheerleaders can be fat and ugly (in fact, many are) NFL Cheerleaders have to be hot and fit, that's all a part of it. So how man view them is a reality. Sad but true
Not me. No gut allowed.
@@BIGBOYMATD the reason i brought up being a cheerleader is for the fact that i’m knowledgeable on how weight gain affects routines which is what the other comment tried to point out. i do acknowledge the fact that the NFL cheer business is largely based on looks, but my comment still stands: that it’s gross to watch men talk about talented and beautiful women like that.
This just brings home how superficial it all is. How many experienced, talented women lost their role because someone thought their waist was an inch 'too big'? Such a shame.
For every talented woman with the extra inch there are 3 who fit the little white shorts the way the DCC seeksm
There are plenty of forums to showcase talent and beauty and succeed without such a narrow uniform body type expectation.
I know what you mean but these ladies have to maintain a fit figure because of the uniform. My mom said that if your body is your money maker then you have to take care of it. These girls have trainers available to them, they have Jay, nutritionist etc to help them. I feel for Selena but the prior season she was warned twice about her weight during training camp. If you compare the DCCs to other nfl girls, the DCCs do look the best in uniform.
@Brooklyn Malone I'm gonna have to disagree with you when it comes to eating healthy. It is not expensive to eat healthy. Especially if you buy your own food from the grocery store and make food yourself vs dining out. I live in Los Angeles (the not so nice part of la) yet the fruits and veggies aren't expensive. Not to mention that one of my favorite health drinks is always on sale. My mom for example makes her own green machine drink vs buying it like me. It's a lot cheaper to make it yourself than it is buying it already made. I pay $5.99 for a big bottle of it. A lot of those ladies live in or around the Dallas area so, I'm sorry but that's a little bit of a copout with all do respect. As for how much they get paid, I know it went up to $400 per game thanks to Erica's lawsuit. I think it should be more. However, this bbn isn't a job where one is to make a living like being a nurse or a teacher etc.
@@rayray.0 While eating healthy may not be that expensive to you, unhealthy is still much cheaper.
@@amberveronique913 It's not that expensive to the masses. Not to mention that they have nutritionist for the girls. Eating unhealthy food just tastes better. That's probably what the issue is. Which would you rather have a donut or an apple? Most people will go for the donut because it's fun to eat and it tastes extremely good. Lets not forget one apple is cheaper than one donut. Selena was a teacher from my understanding. You mean to tell me that she can't afford healthy food at the supermarket?
You think one of the players could name two of the girls that are the back two points of the triangle? 😂😂
Best answer EVER!!
Who cares lol
I’ll bet you they would know Holly
@@sandranorman5469 HAHA fuck yea! Love Holly and her antics
THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE THE REASON THESE LADIES HAVE A JOB!! ARROGANT MUCH?
Hanna at 24:25 was one of the hardest cuts to watch. She was so sweet and carried herself so gracefully saying she wanted to lose weight in a healthy way. It’s sad because if you see her now she is EXTREMELY skinny, that I didn’t even recognize her. I can only imagine what being criticized about her body weight did to her.
She was so slim! I can't believe it!
Hannah was one of the best rookies her year. She even made Show Group.
I think she looked heavy and out of shape.
She has a super sweet demeanor. That was sad
it's no ones fault but her own that she got as out of shape that she did.
Breelan didn’t look heavy, she just looked bloated. You can still see her ab muscles. She shouldn’t have been cut.
I agree. I think there were worse people who made it into training camp that year
It would have been nice to give her a chance to tone up. But... she had some weight issues the previous year. So. .
@@1houndgal Because K&J play favorites.
Paris Wolf I agree please if they had brought her in and she didn’t tone up then I’d just be cutting her later
She was a very weak dancer to be honest. I think it was a combo of her looking “heavy” and her weak dance skills.
Also it drove me crazy that Breelan never blended her heavy ass eggplant eyeshadow lol
I think there was nothing wrong with saying “I make the uniform.” A uniform on a rack is not a DCC, and a DCC can be a DCC without wearing the uniform. A DCC is about a great dancer with a good personality and a passion for the community. A uniform on a rack is not any of those qualities eek
👏 I was going to say, I would've 100% said the girl makes the uniform. It's not about just wearing a physical item, its what YOU do that truly proves what makes you a dcc. Anyone can put on a couple yards of fabric.
I agree. But I believe they used it as a trick question. What she should’ve answered was that she believed with who she is as a person combined with dance ability, combined with what that uniform represents, makes exactly was the organization and fans are looking for. That way both she and the uniform are represented correctly in the answer.
I totally agree. So often they set them up with questions like, "who do you think was the best in the room tonight?" The "correct" answer is always "me" and the criticize the girls who don't promote themselves as the best in the room. How is a person supposed to know that this time is different?
I agree but her reasoning for saying it didn't really back it up. For me at least, yes "I make the uniform" 100% because anyone that fits it can wear it, it doesn't mean they can represent what the uniform means...... I think her explanation just didn't help her and the face she made (at least to me)
Timestamp?
“Heavy/out of shape/waist is too big” like they are transforming into WOMEN. 🙄 they don’t stay teens forever. Irritates me so bad.
I'm an older woman, 2 c-sections.....Defined abs ...25 inch waist. Its doable and im not in my middle 20s...poor babies.
Good point!
They sign a contract to stay the same weight they know what their getting into so if they gain weight or come to auditions out of shape they deserve to get cut you dont get world class by lowering your standards
@@HJ-ju4ui exactly. so tired of ppl whining acting as if these girls are surprised or don't know exactly what to expect. They sign up for this.
@@HJ-ju4ui first off they dont sign a contract ,,,,the contract is year to year. so you have to make it before you sign anything,,,,,,,,,,,second you act like these girls are out of shape,,,they are far far far from out of shape,,,,,,,,what is actually out of shape?? again as i posted on here previously if you took the girls who got cut and took the girls who make the squad ,,,i GUARENTEE you their body % fat is in the same vicinity I bet you the avg of the girls who make it and the girls who do not are identical and even some years the girls who get cut may actually be lower cause there are less of them to ruin the avg..
The girl who said "Can I go?" Broke my heart. She took accountability and had a sweet attitude. I hope she's doing well.
I had the opposite view on Caila. I never liked her. I found her whiny, and that interaction I found to be really fake. She always had kind of a sneer. BUT, that’s just my interpretation. Obviously I don’t know her LOL. Maybe it was just the way they edited her on the show.
Chelsea being cut was understandable because she should’ve took it seriously instead of making as a joke
she sounds so slurred when she talks.
If shes fat I'm an elephant 🤣
Chelsea was probably the most deserved vet cut, she really showed her ass. And she wasn’t even that great of a dancer to begin with, they just liked her because of her interview.
Who was the spy in the parking lot when Chelsea made her remark about the “fatties”? Was it Kitty? I know that Kitty said that Chelsea was “ toxic”.
what was the explosion in the locker room they were talking about?
Chelsea’s office talks make me super uncomfortable
true, both times. she was so so sorry but didnt even tear up.
@@mikethemountie4959 she was definitely partying..she denied it but she seemed..affected somehow.
She is a narcissist..anyone who has met them can spot them! They are very "off"
She’s a terrible liar and clearly something isn’t right there. Her emotions seems so surface level and disingenuous.
Mike Campbell she’s very immature that’s what’s off 🤦♀️
The amount of *HATE* and *Body shaming* they put these girls threw, and their not even big. The way they treat them like this is totally wrong.
So why were you watching?? They are there VOLUNTARILY.
Esp the one girl whos bones were showing and they said she was too big for the uniform, like jeez
I disagree this job requires being the best shape of your life.
“You need to focus on your focus“
Struck me so funny..
Kelli says a lot of stupid things but the way she delivers them makes her sound intelligent. #clunky
Ha!Made me a homemade wood sign that says that!!Go Kelly!!
Were u focused when u wrote that ? 😂
Kelli has an interesting way with words and it always entertains me
@Laura Roberts
Haha did ya? That’s cute
I don't know why these women put themselves through this. They get paid almost nothing and get torn down about their weight and looks.
Fragile narcissistic self worth hinged on their looks. They don’t age well as people as Kelli and Judy prove. This is as Godless and evil as burying a woman under a burqa.
Because it's what THEY want. Stop judging. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
It's a dream many dancers have and they all know there's a chance they won't make it. But if not getting what we wanted stopped everyone from fulfilling their dreams, no one would do anything
For 6 m and then it's over
Jenny ONeill is their season just for 6 months?
So they kept Meredith who couldn’t get one move right but Tara got cut?
I guess Meredith's boyfriend knows the owner and she kind of bought her way on the team in my opinion. She should've never made the team
Cowgirl126 0 I completely agree I think that she needed one more year to learn the Pom style choreo. I do feel bad for how much backlash she has gotten tho😕
Has Meredith gotten a lot of backlash?
Andrew Stanley i mean just look at the comments from every video from this past season. Most of them are about her lol
Tara was cut in season 13. Meredith wasn't invited into training camp until season 14, which was when she made the team.
We need a compilation of MS. LACEY since she began at 18 y.o until she retired 😩
I think they did a video on her journey
Your were damn right girl YOU make the uniform.... the uniform is nothing but material. The dancer and cheerleader IN the uniform brings it to life. Who are these "judges"?
Wrong. That's a very arrogant answer. The uniform makes YOU.
@@meghanmisaliar The uniform is nothing but material barely sewn together. It is the PERSON that brings it to life... how is that arrogant??? The uniform is just lifeless nothing till someone puts it on and makes it shine. You have a LOT to learn.
@@LadyDragonsbloodspot on
breaks my heart that some of the vets get cut purely bc they've put on a few pounds and no longer fit into the uniform especially when they're still great and valid cheerleaders
It is one of the expectations.
You dont her to decide you cant be bothered and not expect consequences.
To feel entitled to flout the requirements is extreme immaturity and narcissism.
@@ddl4374 😂😂😂
They can go be great somewhere else.
i think it is absolutely a joke ,,,,put on a few pounds,,,,lol ,,,year right. what the dcc coordinator needs to get is that in many of these cases the uniform needs to fit the athlete ,,not that the athlete needs to fit the uniform. peoples bodies are not one size fits all,,,,,,,there is all different make ups and body compositions ,,,different bone structures ,,,,,,just to say they gained weight is pretty ridiculous. Again these girls are not fitness models or bikini or fitness bodybuilders,,, they are dancers,,,,,and their body composition isnt going to be to be 16% OR LOWER,,,,, unless they are building lean muscle mass ,,,,,,,,to be honest i think they would cut a girl on the DCC for being to muscular as well. ( which also is a shame) but be honest ,,do you see any amateur bikini or fitness competitors out there on the DCC,,,,nope
I think the women who were cut were the lucky ones. They can move on to something where having a perfect body isn’t a requirement.
One of my favorite show moments is when Danielle almost got cut after finals (she was recovering from a broken foot, which affected her solo performance), but then Kelly changed her mind and they were all up whispering trying to figure out what Danielle's number was so they could call her up. Danielle is one of my all-time favorite DCCs, so I was so happy they changed their mind!
Does anyone know this episode/season? I’ve always remembered this happening and would love to rewatch it
Lauren Wells I think it’s season 8 episode 2
I will never forget that moment. She has been one of my faves since her rookie year.
Because Kelli was given the flake by everyone because on a previous season a certain Melissa Rycroft was "in trouble" for calling in sick for having mono and Kelli and Judy did not believe her and had a go at her about it and then when a certain Cassie Trammell got ILL WITH MONO Judy was "making excuses for her" (Yes Judy is first and foremost Cassie's mother) and telling people Cassie had "mono" and to give her some credit and its like but you had a go at Melissa Rycroft for having mono .....
Also a certain Cassie, in her FIFTH and final season, had a plaster on her knee because she just had surgery and gained a little weight, and was not performing her best, she was given her spot back. During finals deliberation, Jay Johnson asked Kelli, Judy and Charlotte "if anyone else came in with an injury would "YOU" give that girl a chance/be lenient?" Kelli's EXACT reply was "no".
Kelli was "flamed" over these incidents, by other fans (at the time). This was why at the last minute Kelli went against the judges votes and allowed Danielle her spot in training camp, because she (Kelli) knew if she didn't there would have been ALOT of people kicking up a fuss over Danielle who got injured whilst practicing her solo . None of the judges "voted" Danielle back into training camp/to get her uniform back.
I have nothing against Danielle.
supersexygal01 Danielle’s injury would be easy to come back from. Her foot just needed time to heal. Cassie’s injury and 5th year audition was a mess. Once you tear a ligament, you’re never the same and it takes months to recover from. However, Cassie was injured on the job, and this was 7 years ago. We need to move on from Cassie.
What baffles my mind is when a 20-yr-old gets cut and says now they dont know what to do - they are so young, the world is at their feet and they probably should go to college, some go into modeling...
Jay saying she looked thick broke my heart. They are not paid like this is a full time job, so they have to do another job or go to school, and with their lower pay and time crunch, somehow have the money for good nutrition and time to exercise if they need to lose weight. Bloat is a thing, especially around menstruation time. Jay should know that as a fitness person, even if he hasn’t personally experienced PMS as a woman. Metabolism slows in the 20s, and it will catch up to some people. They might need more time, and that’s not a bad thing.
Jay is an a$$hole for saying that, is he flipping kidding me? She looks ‘thick’? WTF. As I’m watching this makes me really hate the DCC and everything they stand for
Its their job to stay in shape unfortunately.
@@lunalee5843 she DID look thick. Stop whining.
@@mrsx7944 when you work with people who suffer from eating disorders you might understand why I’m ‘whining’. When you see a 23 year old nearly die because she thought she was too thick, maybe you’d understand
@@lunalee5843 🙄 oh goodness. that's a typical first world problem. No sympathy here. There's ppl starving all over the world yet ppl want to pretend to feel "thick" just to get sympathy. They mainly do it for attention. Also, if that 23 yr old is trying to join DCC she should expect to be held to their standards. They all know exactly what they sign up for. It's no secret.
Leah handled it so well. She was so gracious about it. She understood that just because you’ve been there before doesn’t mean you’re better then the rest.
Carmen Butler was upset though.
She had a good attitude about it. Thousands of woman want to be DCC and she got to do it for 2 years. I'm happy for her Outlook.
I feel so bad for the Vets, I just wonder how much of those cuts were pure competition or for TV
Yea, that maybe the case
As a college level cheer coach, you would be SHOCKED to see how easily girls take their spots for granted. They assume they will make it and get sloppy with discipline and will start partying and it’s a mess.
I would argue that vet cuts are probably the most legit cuts on this whole show. Rookies are for entertaining new characters. They aren't all needed.
mxtf716 can you elaborate? that’s really interesting. my logic being that if your in college, you’d try harder because it’s assumed at that point you know how to achieve peak performance. what makes you think they get comfortable? especially if they know people are waiting on the sidelines to take their place
mxtf716 thats interesting and I actually get it but this is the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders... known worldwide you’d think they wouldn’t take it for granted
this "she is a little heavy/fat/..." and all this weight gain talk about women who are all slim and sporty is so toxic. To anyone struggling with being self confident about their bodies: Your weight doesn't determine your worth!
blah blah blah lol
If this challenges your understanding of that you need to branch out when it comes to your beauty role models
They ALL know the weight expectation. It's the same for NFL, NBA, NHL players. Hockey players, track stars, gymnasts, etc. Every sport has weight standards. Stop whining. They know what they sign up for.
Stop projecting because you're probably heavy too.
This proves that seniority should not come before talent. Just because you’re a veteran doesn’t mean that u can stop working hard. If there are rookies that are better and if you’re not committed then you should be cut.
Amen.
They said Chelsea needed to “tone up” and she literally had a 6 pack but Maddie has gotten a little bit bigger and isn’t anywhere near having abs and they didn’t say a single word to her this season and kept her at the front of the pyramid
And Melissa Wallace too
Because they play favorites.
Chelsea had opinions and they obviously didn’t like it.
Kashera too
I thought I was the only one thinking that Maddie had developed a soft lil tummy lol 😆 she's a great dancer & super pretty, but yeah, other girls K&J didn't like as much would've gotten an office visit 🤨
“she’s fluctuated 8 pounds” that is completely normal. it’s normal for weight to fluctuate like five pounds per week. these women disgust me
but when you’re on a dance line like this you have to have a weight look and to look fit it’s nothing personal it’s just the dance world, however they have made teams for women with certain weight
Also their uniforms are perfectly tailored to their bodies. They have to trust that throughout the season the dancers maintain the same size, they can’t be re-tailoring uniforms every few weeks. There have also been slightly curvier highly commended dancers (Kashara and Maddie most recently) so it’s not just about body type, but when a girl is gaining/losing weight alongside having other performance issues it’s an indication that perhaps she isn’t looking after herself as well or training as hard.
They didnt say it isnt normal .
When Chelsea tried out her rookie season, she was called in by Judy and Kelli for her dancing near the end of training camp. I remember she said after she walked out of the office, "I thought I was a shu in but now I don't know." There is a fine line between having a positive attitude and thinking you have a guaranteed spot on the team...when you don't. Nothing against her but never take anything for granted because it can be taken away in a second like what happened to her in her second year.
I was GOBSMACKED at her absolute arrogance.
I thought that too!!!!
My heart broke for Colin when she said “I know I’m not the best looking in the room” it isn’t true she’s beautiful , like I understand they have to be able to have the “DCC look” and it’s sad that ultimately a big part of the decision to make the team is based on how attractive they are. 💔
I thought Colin was beautiful
@@Hlirving15 she absolutely is! I hate that she was questioning that when she was cut 💔
Of course tou have to look good your representing a brand tou have to look your best. It had to do with she got out performed alot of them slack because thwy think they got it . shes blond hair blue eyed . pretty much theyre standard lol
Colin was cute as a button! That part always kills me.
That absolutely pissed me off. Cause I think she is WAY more beautiful than most of them coaches and owners were when they were her age
It seemed that mostly the 2-year veterans got cut
I wonder if a lot of them get “comfortable” so to speak as a brand new second year veteran - oh I made it last year as a rookie, I’m safe. Where as other veterans have had team mates maybe even had friends cut as a veteran.
I think they've had that first year to decide if they really came thru as expected.
It definitely shows when you assume your spot is secure and things crumble very quickly when you don’t take it seriously. No one is secure and it’s a hard lesson to learn. I do feel bad for the girls who messed up during interview, because being put on the spot is hard- but it’s ridiculous to see girls missing practices and messing up uniforms. Not cute. Pull it together.
@@poppinincolumbus5027 exactly...several of the 2nd years who were cut were ones that barely made it into their rookie season...so I think if they still haven't shown improvement, that doesn't look good to K&J
a lot of the 2 year vet cuts are girls that barely made the team in the first place (Morgan, Breelan, Ashley Pro, Kat etc.) I don't think it's that they got comfortable, more like that probably shouldn't have made the team at all tbh.
We need a “best of holly” and the clip of her in the office/quitting pls thnx
agree!!
Same here
She quit?
bellatui bellavi she was fraternizing with a player so Kelly called her in the office and told her that she wont be performing for special event and that she has lost their ( she lost Kelly and judy trust). But like days later holly gave Kelly her letter if resignation.
bellatui bellavi and she was sneaking into clubs and she was underage drinking she was 20 years old at that time
With Chelsea I can just hear Kashara going " did u think before u said it "
😂😂😂
Such an unhealthy environment. Those girls are so fit. The fact that they called them heavy it’s crazy.
it hurts my heart every time they comment on a girl’s weight, and even more so when they cut them because of it (almost cried when they cut Hannah, what a shame they lost someone so special for something so superficial). i know that they have a certain “look” and it’s been that way for a long time, but just because it’s what is done, doesn’t mean it’s what should be done. i hope they’d consider rethinking these standards in the coming seasons seeing how times are changing. i know there are a lot more deeper issues within the organization, but something like that would be a big, important step for a team with so much reach and impact
I also hope that they make the uniform more flattering since it hits an area that is unflattering unless you are either built for it or unhealthy
Hannah got fat... Thats her own fault. Theres no sugar coating it, because she'd just eat that too.
@@BIGBOYMATD 😂
the last one hurt when all the girls started sobbing, including kashara😭
Yeah that was one hard. I liked her and evidently so did the girls.
I like how she handled being cut with dignity, and how she said that she would watch the girls, even if she wasn’t on the team. Just makes her a better person overall because it shows she’s not a bad sport or a sore loser.
@@millienne8201 Tara handled herself really well...she was very articulate, took a moment to process that she was being cut & didn't act desperate or beg, but still demanded a good explanation for the decision that was going to majorly affect her life... I really respect her & admire her attitude
faxxxx 𝓷𝓸 𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓽🧚🏽♀️✨
I’m so proud of Kelli for defending Kat against the interviewer when she said she chewed her up and spit her out. The interviewer was so harsh on her. Kat could have also easily lost that weight.
Kat should have made it back on.
It wasn’t for a weight issue it was for an inappropriate dress
They still cut her though lol
@@BIGBOYMATD in an interview it’s not advised to have a dress that shows a little skin. Dress for the job you want not the job you have
I've, like some here, recognize the pain in the face of someone who has a substance abuse issue. Kaitlyn, to me, is displaying this. When confronted with their increasing ineptness, they fall apart and it's heartbreaking to witness. They see their previous accomplishments disappear right in front of them. It's sad beyond words.
I agree with you. If this had been one of their football 🏈 players they would have gotten the best help out there. However, being a woman and a cheerleader she didn’t get any help.
She deserved the same assistance the players get.
@@rckkeller9437 unfortunately, cheerleaders don't bring millions and billions of financial value
@@TheLast-Onethey definitely bring in a lot of money with all the public appearances they do, kids clinics, workout videos, calendar sales and overall costume sales. No one would care about Dallas cowboys cheerleaders if it wasn’t for the beautiful talented women.
Why are you calling her they, their, and them so much? 🤔
@@daughteroftheking374 It's being inclusive. Not too difficult to understand.
Taras cut was the only one that made me sad she was one of my favs from her rookie year
I’ve watched this show every year and this is the only veteran cut I thought was wrong. She is one talented young lady.
This is honestly so great- thank you so much to whoever runs this account for listening to our requests!!
thanks for posting. there are some I feel the judges just b.s. and they should had made.
"I make the uniform", I agree. Without a beautiful, talented young lady in it, it is nothing more than material. But the name of the game is "tell 'em what they want to hear", not what you think or how you feel. The trick is knowing what that is.
It's amazing how beauty standards like body size have trends of their own. From the DCC 1st season (during the Paris Hilton era), you see how having a frighteningly low level of body fat and a rail thin shape was appealing in pop culture. Now, in the face of modern day's body positivity and shape inclusivity, you don't see the judges make these constant body shaming critiques, as they have in the seasons past. However, I bet my bottom dollar that they still do; they are just careful not to have it caught on film, because they know they'd receive serious flack. I genuinely feel so sorry for these girls. Sometimes, these judges give the notion they're being professional, when they actually just seem like bullies picking at body image because it makes them feel superior and able to regain lost youth, despite their own age or body inadequacies. These dancers are all in incredible shape, are able to perform their jobs well, but yet are told their bodies are not a proper display of the golden ideal. But, if you asked any average person how attractive they thought these girls are, they would say that they are drop dead gorgeous and have absolutely nothing they need to fix about their bodies.
DCC's beauty standards are not just obnoxious and out-dated; they are dangerous...and quite frankly, inhumane.
Though I assume those gals haven’t carried a few babies yet; but at 5’5 and 118lbs I could easily be pinned as being overweight to cheerleader standards.
I choose to eat cookies, ice cream and watch these videos instead of work out. It isn’t inhumane, it’s a lifestyle choice.
Chicks can preach all the “body positivity” bullshit they want as an excuse to not put in the effort; but men don’t particularly find unfit attractive. Professional football has a majority male demographic, their opinion is the only thing that sells
@@libralillyknits I love that you call body positivity bullshit. That speaks volumes about how warped your own idea of female body standards are. This male demographic you speak of---I can guarantee you---would still find some of these size 8/size 10 girls with thicker thighs and curves to be incredibly attractive and crazy sexy. It's women who actually are harder on women. And it's not men judging, as much as it is female judges. While you talk about eating ice cream and cookies, being lazy, I can guarantee you that these girls do not do that. They bust their asses, day in and day out, to get to this point. But sometimes, metabolism doesn't cooperate, and some women have a little more body mass. But just because someone has a higher BMI or weighs more than you, does not mean they're not physically fit or lazy. That's an incredibly ignorant point of view.
"She gained 8 pounds over the last COUPLE of years."
They say that like it's a bad thing bruh I gain that in half a year
I always really respect that the girls all wait outside for the girls that get called into the office, sisterhood ❤️
They tell them to for the cameras. Duh.
I think the DCC should have a specialist before the season ends that interviews those who want to try out again. They should be called retention specialists or completion coaches. A few months before tryouts go over things they need to work on. Practice questions, diet,exercise, and dance practice. This would help prevent veterans being cut.
They are all adults...no hand holding.
DISAGREE! No babysitting; adult behavior only.
they want to cut them though
@@ramonagaerin258 but i thought the dcc was world class, what world class dance team doesn't have a dietician for its dancers? ik they got the money
Judy looks like she gives the best hugs. And plz add the bubble veteran cuts. Those virtual convos were wild
Tara's cut just broke my heart all over again.
I know people said it already, but I can't believe they thought "I make the uniform" wasn't a valid answer. The opposite answer basically goes against their all of their philosophies (and the philosophies of every other performing group).
It was the WAY she said it. She sounded arrogant and obnoxious.
@@mrsx7944 No she didn't. She sounded confident.
What’s the time stamp? I can’t find it
@@kellyanderson7624 I don't think how she said it was the issue. I think it was the way she didn't properly explain herself, if she would have sold that answer they would of accepted it
@@mrsx7944 jealous much
THE GIRL ABSOLUTELY MAKES THE UNIFORM! THE UNIFORM WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT THE WOMAN AND TALENT!
Right. That's like saying the drums are the star and not the drummer 😐
I think she answered right “I make the uniform”
It shows confidence in person it’s what you follow that statement with. Answering the uniform makes me I think shows a drop in self confidence.
Hannah is SO beautiful, my heart broke when they cut her for being too heavy, she looked amazing!
Can yall do a legacies compilation of all the legacies who made the team? Or all of the points compilation?
If they do legacies the comments will be nothing but trash talking. Look what they did to Victoria.
Everyone would also complain about cassie
I posted the same on another video! Hopefully if its on repeat we may get our wish!!. I think it would be interesting. Even to those who may disagree
😁😁🤞🤞🤞
Jillian Roddy If I had a dollar for every comment bashing Cassie, I could buy the Cowboys some talented players.
iamkarenh i thought Cassie was sweet but wasn’t DCC material tbh
I can’t believe they cut Morgan because she got caught in traffic 🤔 like, girl can’t help it
Chyanna Dawn I know and she was the sweetest girl and wanted to be on the squad the most
She was cut because she struggled during her rookie season and didn't show enough improvement to be brought back. She was out performed by incoming rookies. Often times girls who get cut going into their 2nd year are the same girls who barely made it onto the team their rookie season. Morgan was that girl. Always struggling with the dances. Getting stuck in traffic was just used as drama on the show to show she was on the bubble.
@@mags92x Yeah, what they didn't show in this compliation was her struggling with the field audition routine.
Morgan was liked by Kitty Carter and the guest choreographers, so that was a boost for her.
Being stuck in traffic was an EXCUSE. No one else was late because of "traffic". Give me a break 🤣🤣🤣
They’ve been making cuts for years but still can’t find the words.
they missed gabby from last season and holly (even though she resigned, her options were basically resign or be cut)
Yea they forgot those two
Emily they usually try not to include Holly due to her resigning. It sucks considering she’s one of the best cheerleaders of all time.
yeah but holly messed up on her own so i don’t think they would have added her here
@@susushisushi what did she do?
Anna Mercado She was going to clubs underaged as well as underaged drinking, on top of that she was caught fraternizing with and I believe possibly talking to/dating the players. They originally just put her on probation but she ended up leaving the team
Who has watched all of these videos on this channel
I watch all the Making the team episodes on Pluto TV 24/7. Love it...one tv channel with DCC Making the team playing continuously 24/7. My fav channel.
I got cut in my junior year of high school from our cheerleading squad. I’m 66 years old now and I remember it as devastating at the time. It was my fault, I was immature and thought all I had to do was look cute in the uniform, which I surely did.
None of these girls are fat they have the body's alot of girls wish for
They're not fat but they don't the DCC uniform standard. They all know what to expect.
Yes I would die to have that body
Majority of them being cut just because of their weight which looked fine and normal is just sad and heart breaking 💔
That very last cut that really is touching that girl really seemed like she was loved by the rest of her team and she really looked like a great personality
All of this exploitation and shaming and calling them heavy for the $3 they pay them an hour is just sooooo gross and oppressive.
That's what kills me. They are payed pennies to be called fat lol
Wow, Chelsea had complete control of her destiny... She could have turned that around. Attitude...
She was a huge phoney. And an alcoholic.
We want to see Lacey's and yukos's journey !!!
they already did them
She fluctuated EIGHT POUNDS over a few years??? Wow. Shocking.
I’m noticing a significant # of cut veterans are the 2nd year candidates who barely made the team their freshman year.
The dancers get better each year. If you slack you’re out of luck
Kelly could see right through Chelsea. You can see she’s trying to make herself feel upset but there’s nothing there. She kept making comments about kelly and Judy making them to be horrible people and the enemy, and if you feel that way, why work for them? She deserved to be cut.
Yes! I honestly couldn't stand Chelsea. She's so fake, and the way she acts reminds me of the biggest kiss ass in my office.
What season was Chelsea cut? I really don't remember her or what happened.
@@cutie3638 she was cut the same year that Danielle almost didn't get to training camp. She and several other veterans got a weight warning and she got all flagrant and wordy in the locker room. She just ended up pissing Kelli off with her attitude and got cut.
cutie3638 she was cut s8, she and a few other girls were told their weight was increasing and she said a lot of rude things about Kelli and Judy and had such a bad attitude
Lisa Gabbitas How did Kelli know? “She is toxic in the locker room” came from Kitty. How she would know is anybody’s guess.
Love that you listen to us when we want a specific kind of video
Jasmine confused me so much the year she was cut because she seemed completely uninterested in being a DCC. I'm not sure why she didn't just retire after her third year. It's like she came back and purposely wanted to get cut? I don't know. She did go on the Bachelor not long after this (and a bunch of other reality shows), so maybe she wanted an out? The whole thing was weird.
She seems so fake when she came back life she was un sure of ur self. Also looked like low confidence too
Jasmine was probably going through something during that time and it threw her off her game. She actually auditioned for and made the 2015 Golden State Warriors Dance Team after getting cut from the DCC. She considering auditioning for year two until she took on the opportunity of being on The Bachelor.
@@AGeezyTV100 Thanks for the update. I was wondering what happened to her!
Yes, this is the video I’ve been asking and waiting for!!!! Now I just need video clips of every point of the season and I’ll be content with life.
Okay- so what was Chelsea’s “outburst” in the locker room?!
Ive been looking for the clip and can’t find them anywhere
Jillian Rivera u have to buy the season to see the whole thing but basically what this vid doesnt show is chelsea & 3 other vets got their cameo pics cancelled bc of
weight gain and then started talking ab still being there and when she went outside saying “the baddies are still here” kitty heard it and thats when she was called back in for the first visit
jazmine isabelle Thought she said “The fatties are still here.”
In the locker room Chelsea also said, "that the weight she was at last year was not realistic to maintain and that if Kelli and Judy thought so then they should just cut her from the team now". She got cut from the team.
I just can’t find it anywhere
I still don’t understand why Tara was cut... I don’t think they showed the full reason for on the show..
Hannah looks good. She didn't look over weight and I like her answer to them about health!
Same! She looked great if they think she’s heavy than I’m a whale 🐳!!!
Cassie rolls her eyes MORE THAN ONCE in panel interviews and doesn't get cut. Lauren makes a statement about being a rock star in the uniform and gets cut. We all know the favoritism shown to Cassie and no matter what she did, she wouldn't get cut. And she was not even a good dancer.
Wow the cuts for being "heavy" are UNREAL!! I wish I was their form of heavy!!
How is Chelsea overweight?! I hear if they’re up two pounds from audition weight they can go on weight watch or weight warning. You can gain weight through gaining muscle.
Right? She looked great to me. I wish they'd put much less focus on the number on a scale and instead go by how the girl looks in uniform, because in the end that should be what matters.
She had abs... like how is she out of shape???
They never said overweight they dat out of shape, which is not only weight
@@jelskedelaat2379 the issue is they throw around words like fat and over weight as well as out of shape,,,,,,they are in many cases two completely different things. you can be ripped to shreds and not be in dancer shape. perfect example,,,,we have incredible football players in HS who are in incredible shape,,,,,when they transition to wrestling they are in totally horrendous wrestling shape. they body just needs to adjust and adapt
Wow you guys really listen to our comments. Nice!
They actually liked my comment! This is the best day ever!
And they liked it again! What! How? I know I’m the only one replying to my comment but OMG!!! Talk about a fulfilled dream!
Chelsea’s apologize at 18:45 was so unconvincing omg😂💀
36:14 "i wish they wouldve told me what went wrong for me to get cut..."
Kelly: she missed hospital events and was late to several things. Punctuality is important to us.
So she was cut even before she auditioned as a vet. Daaaamn
Thank you thank you!! I love whoever runs this channel because they not only make great videos but really listen to fan requests
Tara's cut was so heartbreaking. would love to see her return but I guess it is unlikely
You can "look out of shape" but be strong as hell, a great dancer, and in shape. Everyone has different body types they need to get with the times this is 2023!!
You have to understand, most of these seasons were in the early 2000’s. Different times.
As someone has already commented, the majority of these clips are from over ten years ago. Also, they have a very specific look they want for the DCC, they are a sports organisation who want top notch dancers with athletic physiques. They are extremely honest and upfront about that, they also acknowledge that their standards for their cheerleaders are in no way reflective of a body ideal for the average female. The work those female athletes put in to be part of the DCC is up there with Olympians.
while it is 2023, sexy bodies still sell... and that is what they signed up for...
Hannah’s cut was ridiculous. She could’ve lost 5 to 10 pounds in a week or two. -.- that’s literally nothing. And considering she was so shocked they obviously didn’t even bring the issue up to her when they initially noticed it at tryouts. That’s really fucked up. She could’ve lost it by the time they made the decision to finally cut her if they had actually brought it up to her like they should’ve? That’s so mean. She was completely caught off guard. Ridiculous.
Also I don't understand making someone return a uniform that has been tailored custom to their body..it's not going to be used for anyone else just let them keep it?
Is losing 5 to 10 pounds in a week or two even close to healthy? Doesn’t sound healthy at all.
@@emilyh7311 it's water weight....you can easily do that without it being unhealthy. Come on now lol.
I thought it was dumb they invited her into training camp to begin with, she didn't get that fat overnight.
That "nothing" isn't easy.
That’s completely untrue, it’s healthy to lose up to 2 lbs in a week not 5 and much less 10
I noticed that the majority of the two-year veterans that get cut are the ones who struggled their first year(ashley pro, breelan, meredith)
Exactly. They were iffy prospects to begin with.
The standards they are held to are so high and it is heartbreaking to see people being cut. 😞
It always seems like they televise the interviews with returning veterans who say they are hoping to return and they don’t want to lose their place on the team are ALWAYS the ones who don’t make it back. It can’t be a coincidence....
Tbh some of the girls cut we’re lucky to make the team in the first place - Ashley Pro, Breelan, Morgan, Chelsea
Tara should have received a warning first at least! :(
She was called into the office at least once before getting cut. She was dealing with health issues, so in reality, getting cut was probably the best thing for her health wise. Staying on the team would have been a bad thing.
Seriously tho, I don’t think that Hannah should of been cut. She’s beautiful, humble, kind and there’s nothing wrong with her weight. I’ve seen girls in the gathering after they released her that have the same kind of stomach or wherever they said she needs to lose weight. That cut hurt my heart 😔
Lol.
Fat
Yes these ladies make the uniforms each and everyone of them ...
They are different beautiful their own way inside and out.
They make that uniform glow and shine !
