Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team 2007

Simple reason Cassie made it to training camp, regardless of her talent--- politics. If Judy's kid doesn't make the team, she'd quit.

I'm weird, but I think the body fat measurement pool they showed was really neat (the gym I go to obviously doesn't have that).

How are so many of these women only between 10 to 15% body fat? It doesn't seem possible to me. I think the average female bodybuilder/fitness competitor is between like 12 to 15% which is supposedly what the average DCC is. 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 agree. With body fat percentages like those, I would expect them to look thinner than they did. I almost didn't believe that some of them were below %15.

Don't get me wrong, they are all in great shape, but in comparing what I saw with the numbers, I expected them to measure higher.

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.

Yeah, but that's part of the job, and I'm sure the girls knew it was coming. When you're on any sort of professional dance team, image is everything and that includes weight/fitness. I'm sure alot of people think it's wrong for such emphasis to be placed on weight/body fat, but their jobs probably don't involve tiny white shorts and a shirt that barely qualifies as such.
