Their SHOULD be a minimum height requirement if girls are going to be sent home for being too short. I felt sorry for Ari who was very talented then let go at the last stage with no reason to her face but because she was too short as discussed behind the scenes.

[@wunkeyjones113]

The comments behind Ari’s back were horrible…. A little girl chasing after the bigger girls or something like that. Horrible

[@B.Q..]

Yes, it's a shame, but if a person is not short but too short, they could end up falling at the whole dance, for example, because they can't keep up, that would be like a domino effect in the end, they wouldn't forgive themselves for it. That would be much worse! They should require a minimum height but it was unfair. They could have been regulated more compassionately and let them dance at least once at dances where they don't dance together. Well maybe God has something else in store for you girl, keep your head up❣

[@EmelyPhan]

She does it many times during the many season of their KZbin series.

[@B3damn]

Well they did not chose by weight, so dont be dramatic. It is obvious that DC cheerleaders cannot be overweight to do what they have to do. You just need common sense.

Did she just say we don't talk about weight? Gurl, what???😂

[@AprylRosenthal]

The last few years they stopped weighing girls slowly they are changing

[@MaryLopez-hc7rc]

I have watched each season. I beg to differ with your remark on weight, specifically to returning members. You all have discussed weight.

[@EmelyPhan]

I have seen some of the seasons. They do mention weight here and there for specific members.

[@lescz6058]

They do mention weight on the previous seasons but on the new Netflix season, they don't.

[@briannastultz1468]

I wish weight wasn’t an issue! I understand they want a girl who looks good in the uniform, but I think back to Alex, she was beautiful and had a body most women would kills for, but because she wasn’t a size 0/2, she was considered heavy. That’s so sad. It should be about them being a good dancer.

[@superbwater78]

​​​@@EmelyPhanThey do way more than that. They told one girl her legs looked like drumsticks, another that she had a thutt (thighs and butt running together). They even go so far as to tell girls that they look like trashy strippers. Many of them end up with mental problems and eating disorders.

[@chogan201]

I believe Victoria was in the Office being talked to about her weight and Jinelle was there to help her and Victoria said she didn't want her help because Jinelle didn't have a weight problem

[@COLT86]

They could certainly pay them what they’re worth.

Thank you Kelli for all that you do.

[@walterwhite55469]

I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post. Anyway, Long term investor's know that the market and economy will recover eventually, and investors should be positioned for such a rebound, I gained $180k from bitcoin in 2023, before the market crash and now I am buying again, adding more at a time. Having a good financial advisor like Ethan Jackson, will add to your success in the crypto market.

[@Bluffdap]

I'm shocked that you just mentioned and recommended Ethan Jackson. I thought I was the only one trading with him.

[@SwissAdriana]

You trade with Ethan Jackson too? Wow that man has been a blessing to me and my family

[@belicindrex7576]

I’m surprised that Ethan’s name is being mentioned here. I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony on CNBC news last week.

Face lift and brighter hair. Looks good! And Lip injections look okay.

Why was kitty carted not in the documentary?

Probably because Kitty didn't like how she was portrayed on Making The Team.

Kitty was replaced years ago

[@melissa87543]

Kelli don't act like you ain't weighing them all the time

I wonder if Victoria did something when she was a kid that Kelli didn't like and consciously or subconsciously, Kelli is still holding on to that.

@@EmelyPhan You guys are sad souls. She's aging like any human would. The funny thing is people are so used to plastic surgery that when they see a woman aging naturally they see it as weird. You are why this world sucks

[@wadeyyy]

She looks completely fine, chill out and stop judging a woman for trying to age gracefully. If she didn’t dabble in Botox you would be saying she was wrinkly and old. These women can never win, leave them alone.

[@johnpinegar8027]

​Well she is older. Looking old? Hardly. Try again.

i would love for you guys to follow one of your beautiful black dark chocolate cheerleaders stories for season 2! as i'm sure that's an astronomical moment for them as well considering the majority of the cheer squad is beautiful snow barbies LoL
