Except with female fitness competitors, you can see the separation between the grooves in their abdominals and the striations in their quads which you don't see with the DCCs. I would've guessed that the average DCC is between 17 to 20%. I'm not sure why they'd make up something like that though since it promotes an unhealthy body image for the viewers. Also, I think most women stop menstruating around 15% but I could be wrong.

I was disturbed by the last episode because of the big deal that was made with the % of body fat. There is a problem with eating disorders in this country already and this episode excerbated (not sure if I spelled that right) the "ideal, perfect body". I found it quite sad at the end when Erika was pulled in and was told that she was too fat!!!!!
OMG I would KILL to have Erika's body!!!!!!!! I understand that they have an "image" but come on, with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders being world famous you think they could use their "power" to promote "healthy" body images instead of "unrealistic" body images.
I definately lost some respect for Kelli (who I have been told is an ADPi, don't know if this is true or not) and Judy.
