[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched this show with my teenage sons and daughter and I have to say my sons were shocked.  I think depending on where you live it’s possible for teen boys to not truly have a good handle on how incredibly eff-ed up gender dynamics can be in this country even now. This show appalled all of us( while also being a fun watch, somehow.)

On another note, we spent a lot of time talking about whether the dcc org knew/knows how villainous they come across. My thought is no. [/quote]

The filmaker was obviously trying to make them look villainous. In the very first shot of Kelly, she was frowning and narrowing her eyes. Evil personified. I watched a few episodes of the CMT documentary and thought she came off as tough, but fair, and empathetic with the girls when they were cut. This doc went out of the way to make her look mean. During the scene where they were watching the videos, 80% of the comments shown were negative, when they obviously invited a large group of girls to try out. Small decisions in editing can make a huge difference in how people come off to the first time viewer. [/quote]

Agree that it’s deliberate.
Kelli is a good person who has an extremely tough job that she executes brilliantly and with compassion. 
The CMT Making the Team series respects her.
This documentary was a hatchet job.
And the documentary crew does not seem to have any love for DCC at all.
America is a pretty big and diverse place. Texas has its own culture and outward and visible open faith in God is definitely a part of the culture that just doesnt resonate with big city people on the coasts.[/quote]
Doesn’t really resonate with Jews and Catholics either. Or Hispanics. [/quote]

Disagree about not resonating with Hispanics or Catholics.
I had many Catholic friends growing up in Texas who are just as outward and devout about their faith and blend right in with the Protestant Jesus people.
Your statement would probably be more accurate about not resonating with Jews, but it is what it is. [/quote]

As a Catholic who grew up in Dallas, we had to be outward about our faith to fend off all the hand-laying and weeping about how we weren't "washed in the blood of the lamb" because we weren't "born again" from bizarre Protestant kids trying to trick us into going to church with them as a fun visit (complete with altar calls for conversion, by name that they apparently supplied the preacher with in advance, for the friends brought along to hear the "great band").  Don't speak about what you don't know - the God Malls and God Loves Dallas hoopla do not resonate with Catholics.[/quote]
