I said I wouldn’t watch the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders netflix show but then I remembered I am me and here we are. As a longtime* devoted** watcher of the previous reality show DCC: Making the Team I feel very qualified*** to comment on the show and air my grievances.
The jump split should be retired. Like it doesn’t even look that good. And you’re saying you KNOW it’s this one move that causes real damage and you could just NOT do it and leave the dancers with the regular terrible wear and tear on their bodies but no, let’s pile some more on, because it’s ICONIC!! I mean. Get a grip.
obviously they should be paid more and also I believe they should be allowed to come to practice not in full hair and make up and not have to work full time jobs, silly me
I think DCC is classic but also dated and it seems like the least fun team to be a part of actually (opinion formed from serious research) (Jets dancer auditions and a Dolphins day in the life I watched on youtube)
It’s really just a cult of sisterhood that’s fascinating and unnerving to watch, the same way sororities are. Like, we all know there are girls who had a horrible time on this team. We all know there are girls who probably spent two, maybe three seasons on the team but left without any lasting impression on the DCC world. What happens to them? Do they get to come back and choreograph? Are they “part of the family”? Does anyone even care about them really???
The lack of Judy in the show was fascinating to me…like she was there but it was really all about Kelli which is very interesting bc past viewers all know Judy is the one who SCREAMS.
Like obviously the way that Kelli et al talk about the dancers’ bodies and weight sucks but also I preferred it in the early seasons of the old show when they were just frank about it. When they would just say “she looks overweight and sloppy, she needs to eat less” instead of “she doesn’t look…at her healthiest…physically AND mentally of course, mental health is so important”
AND SPEAKING OF where is the queen bitch Kitty Carter? If you’ve never seen the original you must go to youtube and watch a Kitty Carter clip immediately. Yes she is a BITCH but she DOES IT TO MAKE YOU BETTER!! And when the girls come back with better solos/costumes/everything SHE IS THRILLED!!!
And finally I cannot believe they showed us a year of the team, talked about how gruelling the process is, talked about how elite this team is and how it’s what every dancer wants and making it means you’re the best of the best AND DID NOT DISCUSS SHOW GROUP. There is ANOTHER team WITHIN the team which they also have to audition for and then they go out and do appearances and it’s like!! So actually there’s another level of best!! The hierarchy is crazy!! There’s group leaders and second group leaders and show group and we’re all supposed to pretend there are no weird feelings about this within the team bc they’re a family barf etc? THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING PART AND YOU! JUST! SKIPPED IT!!
Let’s not even get started with Reece channeling jesus through dancing
and let’s take a second to honour one of my DCC faves, Holly who was sooooo good but ended up leaving the team bc she was Fraternising with a Player!!!
Of course I’d watch another season, I am who I am.
*on and off as and when I find a way to watch it **which is mostly via daytime ITV2 filler/MTV Saturday afternoon filler/seventeen clip sections on youtube ***my opinions are correct.
