Though she does desperately want to be on Dancing With the Stars so she could meet a man there. Though she's so high maintenance I don't know who'd have the patience for her. She also seems to think she's MUCH cuter than she actually is.

She needs to move and from and. It live with her mother.

To hear her father and brothers never once went to one of her dance shows or competitions for 15+ years to date was really sad.

Victoria needs to focus on her mental health. If she wants to stay in entertainment business she needs to get her mouth fixed, he super gummy smile and giant teeth are distracting

The organization and women work very hard at their 7pm practices. Most are like tall gymnasts not tiny dancers. Lots of hair and makeup. I must have missed that class somewhere along the line….

My SIL went to hs in Dallas and she said hair and makeup is really important for girls and women.

Important for what? Marrying a high school sweetheart or frat boy who’s going to work for his father and live next door to him too?

I’m from the south and the choreagrphwr was right when she said she doesn’t leave the house without lipstick, and that everyone should look “put together” when they leave the house. I totally agree, raised in NC.

Is everyone’s skin so bad in that heat that they have to wear so much makeup every day?

It’s part of the culture. Not just in Texas but within the DCC organization.
They are told not to come to practice looking rough. They want them to be “performance ready” all the time. Part of their image is that the women represent the DCC “brand” ALL the time.
If they aren’t on board with that, they need not try out because it’s just not the right fit for them

The whole state goes out in full hair and makeup every day? Yikes.

DP. Pretty much. My Mother was not a Pageant Queen type by any means (I mean that as a compliment) but she never went out without her hair and makeup done. I do say that I generally feel very frumpy when I go back to Dallas and have to resist the urge to go to North Park and buy a new wardrobe.

What they do to their bodies and how little they are compensated. How DCC is a multimillion dollar brand and the women get so little. How oblivious and high on it all that they are.

It’s extortion. And it’s heartbreaking.

It's a part time job and I read they earn $75k. Um, that's REALLY great for a part time job, especially in Texas. And all of them are pretty so they're all probably also doing influencer stuff on social media for extra money. Plus being on the shows pays money. PLUS some of them (Kelsey (sp?)) have full time jobs that probably provide health insurance too.

It’s a highly visible, extremely demanding sport. It brings in an insane amount of money. How much are the women paid? It’s peanuts. Your justifications are sickening. In no world would a male athlete that makes this much bank for his employer be willing to accept $15/hour. Even worse, in no world would society (or idiots like you) argue that it is ok “because they can be influencers”

1) Women are ALWAYS encouraged to work for free or nearly free (e.g. pressure to volunteer at school)

2) No one is forcing any of them to sign on for this and no one is hiding the pay rate

3) The cheerleaders are a “nice to have” for the organization. If all cheerleading disappeared tomorrow it would not affect the bottom line of a single NFL team.

That’s true, but these women are 18-24. They’re just SO young & naive.
Then they finish DCC & need 2-12(!) ortho surgeries, or they get stalked, or death threats. But they do it for the prestige & “sisterhood” without any decent compensation. It’s criminal.

+1000
It’s exploitation

Kelcey works full time as a pediatric registered nurse in addition to DCC. She spoke about it in her interviews and there was a scene where she was taking care of a patient (home health for a medically fragile young girl).

She seems like the total package!

Smart, gorgeous, talented, hard-working, big heart. I loved her- she was my favorite.

Reece is very pretty and a great dancer, but the baby voice got on my nerves as did all the religious talk. Couldn't tell if I was watching "Keep Sweet Pray and Obey" or a show about cheerleaders

I liked kelcwy but she the most flat affect when speaking, she seems drugged during her one one interviews. I also think she needs to think twice before marrying an out of work actor…

Yeah I didn’t see any chemistry there, or authenticity. But hopefully that was just the camera crew in their face while they cooked dinner.

But why?

To impress the other women? Or the men? Just be Uber feminine hetero? “Manners”?

Dallas had pretty short white waspy women when I lived there 10 years ago.

It is part of DCCC culture. It's very similar to sororities where they have to wear nice clothes and makeup to class because they think that sloppy clothes reflect poorly on their group.

It is definitely not a part of general Texss culture. I don't know about Dallas, but I grew up in Houston and went grocery shopping in t-shirt and no makeup. No one cared because Houston has millions of people living there own lives. Also, it is so hot that your makeup melts off anyway.

I lived in Dallas for a few years and 100% can back this up. We lived next door to HP but not in it, so almost as peak Dallas as you can get. I fought it for a while dressed and acted as my normal east coast self before I realized I had to play along to be taken seriously: cute outfits and hair done even for a drugstore or takeout run, mascara for the gym, etc. Going to North Park was like prepping for a wedding- I would be treated poorly unless I did my hair and makeup and put on a super cute outfit.

I’ve since moved away and am relieved to be back in t-shirts and Patagonia shorts for errands. And I love watching the Dallas cowboys show because it reminds me that my time down there wasn’t just a weird fever dream.

Houston is way more down to earth, thank goodness. But Dallas culture and many smaller cities in Texas definitely exert social pressure on women to look/act a certain way.

Hey y'all! Get your pom poms ready - Season 2 is coming later this June. I'm so excited. I'm refreshing season 1 right now, and practicing my high kicks (no more jump splits for anyone 30 or older!).

Kelcey and Nate actually got married!

Also, I don't see what is so great about some of them (and their awkward choreography) versus what is just "off" about the ones they don't like. Is that just me though? Like I said, not a dance expert.

Just you.

I get that it can be an amazing thing for some (if it doesn’t completely wreck their bodies at 24) and for those that may be able to turn it into a jumping off point.

But the former cheerleader getting all of those surgeries. The one Victoria, who clearly didn’t understand she would have been cut without her connections.

At least for pro athletes they come away with a good chunk of money after beating down their bodies.

The requirements and level of dedication, not to mention having to re-audition every year, are not a match with calling this a part-time job. So exploitative. If it was still a co-ed squad I can’t imagine most of the current practices would still be in place (low pay, strict rules, re-auditions).

All of that is really typical for a dance career.

Nothing shocking or unusual about any of it.

yes. She is waaaayyyyyy out of his league. Lucky guy.

I thought for sure she would realize that but looks like they are married now.

She never even had a guy put his arm around her let alone kiss her before she went on a date with Will. To get married to the first guy you date is a bad idea. He seems like a nice enough guy and I hope they last but I doubt it.

This is a dumb take, akin to “always take the first pitch”. Sometimes the first pitch is a fastball straight down the middle; be prepared and hit that sh!t straight out of the park.

She never had a guy put his arm around her. We’re talking in COLLEGE. Sorry, that young woman has been seriously sheltered all her life and now she is in the most famous pro cheerleading team in the world, traveling and interacting with rich and famous men.

And? Seriously, what point do you think you’re making?

She'll get tired of him.

Yep I’ll be surprised if they are still married in 10 years.

I imagine they will be married until they both die in their 80s.

Unless your kid is a military kid on tricare.

The govt kicks those kids off as soon as they graduate high school.
