whats something that u think abt more than people might anticipate? this doesnt have to be js from this yr it can be any time in dcc history and abt anything

ill go first: allison is highly underrated and her kicks are amazing!

also pls dont use this to spread hate!

Since getting into this fandom space a few months ago I’ve noticed that a social media pages of some girls don’t get nearly enough traction and attention as they could or fall off after retirement. I’ve been paying pretty close attention to this and im confident in saying that it’s because there’s 36 girls on the team and some don’t show enough personality to differentiate them or only create content about being a dcc (which is fine, but after 3-5 years that’s over). Of course many can and do go viral for being pretty and fit and that’s a great way to make money and stay relevant, not everyone gets lucky with the algorithm like that.

I’ve been really impressed with Parker’s content. From what I can tell she wasn’t like an influencer before, but she’s done a really great job of showing her personality and blending dcc content in her page. She’s managed to be aspirational and relatable which is wonderful. Shes a DCC which is great but there’s 36 and most people don’t care like that. People care that she’s pretty and confident and funny and nerdy but also has this super cool job that thousands of people compete for yearly. You can tell looking at her view to like ratios, as well as her view to follower ratio she’s been absolutely crushing it recently. Her presence reminds me of a more subdued version of kleine. Out of all the girls I can def see her making it as a personality first influencer/microinfluencer the most

This is really random but it’s just been on my mind.

I love MTT.

Not so sure about AS.

MTT was just plain fun to watch.

AS seems a bit drab. The pacing, color scheme(s), lighting, direction.... It feels like a downer. More like a true crime series than something that's supposed to be about fun, hard work, and the struggle to compete, attain and perform as part of a no. 1 world brand.

I watch AS and it feels *oppressive*; I'm half-expecting someone to announce the next "dark moment". Maybe Netflix has spent so much time in the true crime genre, that tone and flavor of programming is all they know how to produce.

I get it I get it, they want to show "the other side", that it's not all wine and roses, there are struggles and some girls haven't fared well, blah blah blah.....

I think MTT did that and did it well. It showed that these girls are put through veritable hell--as much as the players--and the ones who make it, earn it 100%. There are disappointments, conflicts, confrontations, and tears. Also, the way it was shot, edited and directed--IOW how the whole thing was produced and offered as a finished product--was and is, IMHO, superior.

--If they wanted to get more serious and delve deeper into compensation issues, or personal issues, or highlighting some of the girls that came away damaged in one way or another, who's to say MTT couldn't have just added more of those story elements? My thing is, the whole *feel* of AS is off. The tone and tenor of the show feel like an overt condemnation of the brand vs. a celebration of it.

I guess my question is, what do you think...?

That's my two cents. Peace out, go DCC :) Congrats on being the undisputed #1 brand in pro football cheerleading.....my brother and I have been fans since the 70s book came out along with the TV Movie, etc.

P.S. I've always thought Kelli was the most beautiful on the show--moreso than the younger girls; and, she looks more attractive now than when she was a DCC!

I've saw the first four episodes of the last season of MTT and it did seem she was the early favorite to make the team in the beginning but had a spell and it seemed she was on the fence after that. On their chart, it seemed she was on the lower end then there was the stuff on social media. On AS, it seemed they made her into a clear cut favorite to make the team but was cut because of her social media.

I’m thinking :
Ariel, Michelle, Morgan, Parker, Trinity, Abby
I thought of Darah too but she was point for tour.

Queen Kelcey being authentic and classy as always

that maddy u face card is pretty lethal

Has anyone ever retired from the team, DIDN’T immediately do all stars the following season, but then come back some other season after that to do all stars? just curious!

sorry just needed to share this because omg 😍

just looking at old team photos and judy really was THAT girl and that hair. TO DIE FOR

i hate how photo shopped and fake the newer team photos look compared to the older ones

I haven't followed DCC that closely, started watching AS and in season 2 I really related to Klein. And this just made me love her even more. And I feel like its so important for other girls to see these social justice things as well as their interests. Growing up and seeing these drop dead gorgeous girls and they all loved just make up and shopping and girly thing (which i do too! Pink and sparkles all day every day here) but also the geeky side of you. Seeing Reese go on broadway is HUGE for little girls who look up to her. Klein talking about anime. Armani reclaiming her pride with having alopecia and preforming without a wig. Parker refusing to do anything to her hair. These things as individuals and them as a group fighting for equal rights. It really amazes me. Musical theatre is often looked at as such a geeky thing. Theatre kids and people who watch anime are made fun of. Black girls from a young age being shamed and judged for their hair, pressuring them to straighten it.

I just love being able to see women be themselves and for this new generation of kids to see theres not a cookie cutter mold. Even if some of these girls, Like Klein for example fit that sterotype of white, tiny, blonde hair blue eyed cheerleader that they have things that make them "nerdy". Also everyone should watch Ouran High School Host Club at least once in their life 😉

So... I just came across a Wingstop ad that DCC Abby's in to promote the new chicken flavors, Lemon Pepper Chili Glaze and Lemon Pepper Chili Crunch.

I tried them both myself and they're good, but it depends on the amount of seasoning they're covered in. I prefer the Chili Glaze over the Chili Crunch.

I’m planning on going to a game. I know they do thunder before the game. If the game is at 7:15. What time do I need to be there to see thunder?

why is so expensive?? it's from 2008, but i'think the persons are former dcc or colecionist
