Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team 2007 - Page 3

I saw the commercial for the next episode and the people in charge did a background check and they asked one of the girls if that was her in the photograph. The girl was wearing I believe a yellow tube top and was partying. And if you've read my earlier post, I bet that they got Alexandra for that incident.

Oh, I can't wait for that.

My thoughts on yesterday's epidsode:

-I know that I sound redudndant, bit it seems that Alexandra have fallen from grace. She was in the top 20, before the interview.

-My favorites so far are Cassie Trammell, Jordan Baum and Alyssa Seregani (sp). On the final roster, two of them did make it, but the other one didn't. And I hope that the one who didn't make it in, try out again next year.

I really don't think it's fair that Cassie Trammell made it to finals when she messed up in the dance to the point where she must've even thought she blew it and texted her mom to apologize. If I was a girl who was cut and I saw that, I know I'd be mad.

I do like the Alyssa girl a lot too, I hope she makes it.

But I do sort of remember Kelli saying that they do tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. She also stated that a lot of girls messed up that dance. So if you held them all to that "oh they messed up the dance, can't move them to finals", then barely anyone would have made finals.

I'm a cheer coach, obviously not the same as Dallas Cowboys, but during my tryouts every single girl who tried out messed up the dance somehow. What I was looking for (along with the other coaches) were when they messed up did they just stand there or attempt to recover? did they still have a smile on their face and kept going or did they have a look that said "oh shit I totally screwed this up"? There are a lot of factors in deciding who is going to be on a team (in the DCC case, who would advance to finals).

I know if I were Kelli, I would want to advance the girl who yeah messed up, but she kept dancing, caught back up, had a great personality, didn't let it effect her and had a smile on her face, over a girl who let it effect her and basically froze. I'd give the former the benefit of the doubt and would want to see more.

I agree with advancing the girls who had more of a "performer"'s attitude, where they may have messed up but played it off well, But Judy says her daughter didn't even do that. They do mention that one girl, Jordan (can't remember her last name), also messed up but kept going instead of just blanking or letting it affect her. I just don't think it's fair that Judy is involved in the judging process of her daughter's tryout, but at the same time I don't see another way they could go around it.

I was surprised Cassie made it - considering that her mother is the choreographer, I didn't think her dancing was outstanding, even if she hadn't forgotten the routine.

I thought the same thing too...she just seems a bit out of place to me....oh well, I guess none of that really matters when you know (or you are related to) the right people...

She doesn't really have a dance background, at least based on that footage they showed. She cheered for Cheer Athletics, which is a really hard-core all-star cheerleading program. I mean, she may have done a dance team or something too, but the stuff they were showing - tumbling, flipping basket tosses, etc. - was SO not DCC. (PS - she would have made an outstanding college cheerleader...)

But... with her mom as choreographer, she knew what the DCC were looking for, and could prepare accordingly. Maybe she was better than the bit we saw of her showed. You know how wonderful reality TV editing can be.

what is DCC?

adpiucf · #10 10-17-2008, 12:56 AM

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.

Which vets were cut? I think there were four, based on Sarah's comment that there were five left when they got to the final five training camp candidates, but then she got called.

And I could have sworn they showed Erica Jenkins and Abigail Klein (and others) crying while they said that several veterans were cut, but those girls weren't cut. (I cheated and checked.)

Leah Mullinax (sp) and as mentioned early Kelly Jo were two of them.

Capital letters and correct grammar would make this somewhat understandable.
