UPDATE: I decided to make this a season long thread rather than starting one each week.I have a question about the fan vote. The woman that won it, wasn't she the 31 year-old? I'm wondering how happy/mad Kelly and Judy were about her taking someone younger's spot. I can't remember if she was a good dancer/kick-line/routine candidate or not. And what about that poor black girl whose boob was about to pop out of her costume? Didn't she try dancing with that outfit on first? THAT was uncomfortable to say the least.  I feel bad for the veterans who didn't make it but damn, shouldn't you be on your best game at try-outs. They've been there before, some a few times, you'd think they'd give it their all!

I truly don't know why it holds a fascination for me. I actually didn't watch for several seasons after season three, then got hooked on it again and binge-watched all those seasons in a row last year, before season nine ended  . |

Yep, the fan vote was the 31 year-old. I think the judges biggest complaint with her was too much Botox. She's a very pretty woman, but her lips do look odd. More power to her though for keeping up with the younger woman.
Amy, the one with the near-wardrobe malfunction, was wearing a bra under that outfit when she was practicing her solo. I can't imagine why she didn't test it before going braless, or have some other support-type undergarment on. I felt bad for her though. Through no fault of her own, she'll just never have the body type Kelly and Judy prefer.
The veterans who didn't make it did look sloppy. I felt sorry for them too, but understand why they were cut.

I watch this show for the same reasons I watch So You think You can Dance... It's for the amazing athleticism these women have, although I'm no Cowboys fan and while I have no dance ability, I can appreciate these women's! But I also watch like I'm watching Say Yes to the Dress - I've been married for almost 15 years, and would never buy a dress that $$, but I can't help but watch! Wasn't the fan vote the American who was in Great Britain for years? |

Dd and I were not happy with fan pick- I don't find that woman likable or attractive at all! Someone must if she got the fan pick I guess!
Dd is on highschool dance team and does kick along with a lot of other things. I've seen a lot of kick lines and dd's highschool dance team could easily beat these girls at this point!
Boobgate was frightening! And I did feel for the veterans who were cut but they didn't bring it and they should have known better! I wonder if they would try out again?

Just watched last Thursday, 8/20 episode. I don't think the fan vote gal, Colby??, will be around much longer. I thought it was interesting that they basically told her the only reason she is in camp is because of the fan vote. I wonder if it was like on American Idol, Vote for the Worst, type of thing. I don't think the dark-haired girl will make it either. I personally don't find her attractive at all ~ maybe it's because I find her black hair makes her look harsh. I feel bad for the girls who have to work all day then go to practice all night. I would be physically and emotionally drained.

But I thought it was weird that Kelly was surprised that she thought she was being cut. She sat right out there on the floor and told her partner (whose name escapes me!) "we could say goodbye to her tonight." |

I'm very surprised that I am watching this show. I have never seen it before. I'm not a Cowboys fan. I'm not even a football fan. But somehow I got sucked into this season. Something about Colby bugs me and I don't think the dark-haired girl (Rose?) is very pretty either. I do think Melissa Rycroft is adorable. I loved her on DWTS. I am amazed at the athleticism too and the dancing. It would take me six months to learn a routine and they are going to learn how many?! Yikes!

Agree with everything said! I am a huge fan of this show (has it really been on for 10 years?!!!) and for no good reason. As a diehard Giants fan, I HATE the Cowboys (and that's a tough gig in my house where there are 3 fans & 2 seats from the now demolished old stadium). Yet, I love these girls and can't get enough of this show!
Yeah, I don't think the fan fave will last long. She's seems nice enough, but they didn't really want her, so they'll be looking for any reason to cut her.
What were the vets thinking, showing up out of shape?! Especially Breelan, who really struggled last season?
That almost Janet Jackson moment made me nervous, too. It's unfortunate, because no one watched her dancing at all. Everyone was just waitin' for the boob.
How the hell they learn a new routine every nite and then are expected to know them all for games is beyond my comprehension.
And the girls who work full time, too? Kudos to these amazing young women.
Looking forward to another fun season! DCC!!

Boobgate.  I found myself actually ANGRY with the veterans who got cut. They knew they weren't bringing their A game. It was just a waste of everyone's time for them to even try out! Same for the girls who suck at kick line. If I were trying out for DCC, I would have rehearsed that to the point that it was perfect before my plane landed in Dallas. It just blows my mind that there are girls trained in dance who are otherwise talented but can't kick worth a flip! |

First cuts from training camp. I agree with both decisions. How can you be a DCC and not have big personality? Emily was way too introverted. And Colby ~ just no.
I love when they do the make-overs ~ I think that's next week.
And as far as the kick-line. The day you decide to go to tryouts, wouldn't you be learning how to kick and do the jump-splits???

I love this show! I think the 2 that were cut really needed to go.
It's weird to hear Kelly complain about ladies being too thin.

Yes, my husband came in and doesn't watch the show and I was explaining how they are usually pinching the girls' "fat" and really harsh in their comments during the uniform try on episode. Twilight zone!! |

My girls and I watched this week's show yesterday. The two that left definitely needed to go. Now we are wondering who will be next. But can't wait for make-overs. That is SO fun!

I like the makeover show too!
Not surprised by the cuts, but I couldnt help but feel a little sad for Emily. At the same time, I'm really not even sure why she would be pursuing a spotlight of this magnitude when it seemed to be so painful for her. I don't remember her from the auditions. Does anyone recall if she seemed to have a bigger personality then?

The two that were cut needed to go. Man, Colby was just creepy to me! And Emily just didn't have the personality for it.
Learning that many routines so quickly is really a skill, like a said before dd is on highschool dance team and during a two week training period this summer they learned 11 routines. I could never!
For good kicks, girls have to be flexible and strong - you need both. You also have to have serious endurance because that crap is hard!
I want Madeline to go (the dark haired girl). She isn't enjoyable to watch to me. I love the adorable short haired girl who won the physical challenge - she's a shoo in for the team.

You want the girls well proportioned with a good figure but not stick thin. Oh I totally agree, but that's not what we usually see the women get called out for. Well, except for that one season that they speculated one of the women looking anorexic. I think that was 2 seasons ago? Man, their critiques can be brutal. I couldn't handle it, so I give the women credit for their thick skin. |

I always get sucked into this show. I thought it was interesting that they highlighted 2 women that were too thin. Wasn't it last season they were all on that girl for her 5 pound muffin top?? I bet there was some backlash for that.
The 2 that got the ax deserved to go.

Why would you try out if you can do some approximation of their signature move? It's like the people who go on Survivor and didn't bother to learn how to swim or try to learn to make fire. Or the ones on The Amazing Race who can't drive a stick. WTH were you thinking? The two that were cut needed to go. Man, Colby was just creepy to me!

She's my favorite so far. Did the trailer for next week look like she was getting spoken to, though? I hope not! I always get sucked into this show. I thought it was interesting that they highlighted 2 women that were too thin. Wasn't it last season they were all on that girl for her 5 pound muffin top?? I bet there was some backlash for that. The 2 that got the ax deserved to go. They actually let at least one veteran go this season because she gained weight. It's great to be curvy, but it needs to be in the right places, kwim? |

And as far as the comments, it makes me a bit sad because you know those girls will watch it back and hear the comments. I know they have most likely seen the show and expect it but I am sure it hurts incredibly. |

It reminds me of the old adage "if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me". I know it's their job, but some of it sounds so bitchy. Kelly seems really good at snide comments. |

You have to have a thick skin, I guess. The comments are pretty brutal. I'm surprised they gave the shy cheerleader more time. Her discussion was so awkward.

Their comments don't really bother me because they are focused on identifying the women who will make the best team. I never get the impression that they are trying to be hurtful--just honest. As best I can tell, training camp is a month, maybe six weeks long. They don't have the time to correct major errors in the dancers' technique, flexibility or weight, so if a girl isn't progressing, they need to cut her and move on. It's best for both the team and the candidate.
You can tell from their comments after the cuts that they are often very torn by having to let someone they really like go. And they are also very encouraging of those who aren't quite ready to get more training and reaudition.

Madeline did not have the look of a DCC at all. To me she looked like a little girl. And the other one they called in, well, it was painful to watch. I don't think she'll be able to come out of her shell in one week.
