Hundreds audition, but only a select group will secure spots in the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders training camp. DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell oversee the intense audition process and decide which hopefuls will make the team.

[@Alicia19652]

The girl 100% makes the uniform. For Judy to be so shocked that someone said they make the uniform is crazy.

[@lilybean9585]

I know I would have thought that would be the correct answer

[@virgie4715]

[@RavensSoTired4081]

Nope

[@MalloryNewcomb]

The uniform itself means nothing. It’s about who wears it and the young ladies representing the Dallas Cowboys wear it. So of course the girl makes the uniform. She brings her fire and her heart to the job and should not be expected to be the other way around.

[@natalina8593]

I thought that they should have said I make myself a dancer but the uniform makes me a cowboy cheerleader

[@bellak46]

I still can’t get over the girl who said she didn’t think there was an S at the end of Cowboys. She literally says the S when she says Cowboys. 🤔😂

[@boopsscoopz2206]

Me either!😂 if you’re going to try out for the DCC squad then you should know how to spell Cowboys. Like Charlotte pointed out, there isn’t just one cowboy, there’s a whole team.

[@amit11021]

She made the team that year...

[@freedomfitness8720]

“I’m a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader.” It just rolls off the tongue easier without the S. That’s why Charlotte brought it up. Because so many of the DCC squad have said it that way for years. However, the S rolls off the tongue so well when saying, “How ‘bout those Cowboys!” or when saying “I love the Dallas Cowboys.” It is what it is. I’m a Dallas girl, born and raised. We all said it wrong back then & many still do!

[@TheLadyCourtesan]

In my opinion I think it was probably the editing that made her look stupid. As far as I am concerned, when I first heard the question, I thought they were referring to the 's. As in: ''Do you know if there is an s at the end of Dallas Cowboys('s) Cheerleaders?'' And then she said no, as I would have.

[@boopsscoopz2206]

Gaby: Chelsea was cut for being toxic in the locker room. And instead of offering a sincere apology for her actions, she tried to feed Kelli some BS lie.

[@superdill6665]

Chelsie getting cut is solid proof that they don't play favorites. She was beautiful, funny, and well liked, but she screwed up when she was told to shape up. Instead of simply accepting the critique and hitting the gym, she made sarcastic comments. The one I remember most was that she said her audition weight was not maintainable and if that's what was expected she might as well just leave. But they all sign contracts that say their audition weight must be maintained. A few seasons later, another fan favorite Holly, was cut due to contract violations. Kelly loved her too, but it's her job to protect the brand for the Cowboys organization. Personally I think some of those things in their contract are bull sh@t and archaic, and the pay scale is ridiculous considering the extraordinary amount of work those girls put in to wear the boots and dance on the field. It's crazy. But every year hundreds of girls line up and apply for the "privilege" of having their bodies monitored, their appearance critiqued, their dance talent questioned and their personal lives monitored, questioned and exposed. I love the show, but damned if I would have ever subjected myself to that kind of scrutiny. But you can't fault Kelly and Judy for enforcing the rules because they too have worn the uniform and lived up to their contracts. Whether we (or the team members) feel those rules are right or wrong, the bottom line is that when they sign that contract they're signing their own free will away for the chance to dance and gain national exposure. Right or wrong, it is what it is.

[@lizslilcorneroftheinstitution]

I must say... I’m still on the fence with the reaction, from Kelly especially, regarding Malena’s reaction to being cut. Not even Kelly’s reaction in the moment but from the minute Malena left. DCC just drools at the concept of having these amazingly talented, intelligent women who have had dreams for years of getting a chance to be a DCC. I realize a lot of people don’t realize that DCC sends out scouts for dancers to encourage them to audition. So a lot of these girls had never even contemplated DCC until that scout showed up. Then for someone like Malena, who knows the beginning of being cut, expresses her worst nightmare was being the last cut of training camp, which she was experiencing right there. She wasn’t putting on an act, she wasn’t trying to give lip service to her dream of being DCC. She came across as sincere as possible. That all leads me to all but expect a very dramatic reaction! Not only is her dream being ripped away, it’s a double dose with her worst nightmare coming true. Girls get judged for not putting DCC at the level of ‘God’ in their life. It’s been said many times that K-J-C all want to know that the ladies are there for the right reason. I think Malena met all that criteria and then some! I truly despise hypocrisy, double standards and a people with a sense of entitlement. I will always cheer and support the ladies who go through all they do to get these positions. They’re amazing. But the managerial side of DCC and of the Cowboys is what prevents me from 100% supporting DCC. I won’t subscribe or like videos. I don’t purchase episodes to watch. I don’t purchase merchandise and/or calendars because of how the ladies of DCC are treated. I keep hoping I’ll see a video, interview, etc that will show that those in positions of power are making changes. So far I’ve been disappointed!

The management in that organization as a whole needs to be changed. The cheerleaders should have higher wages and more benefits. The cowboy football players should be held to the same standard as these women. Off the field matters and the football players need to learn that from management

Agreed. Her dream was being crushed. Her response was valid.

[@Adixonnz]

I’m with you there!! I read it stood for The Texan slogan of being the “lone star state”. If that’s the case, shouldn’t there be just one? Also the star supposedly represents peace and serenity, pretty much the antithesis of football.

Yay thank you! Panel interviews are one of my favorite things

31:05. “Girlfriend! Who are you?”

[@brennenrivera4288]

I know Meredith is a sweet person, but I didn't feel her 2nd interview was much better, granted we just saw a small snippet of it... - Interviewer: "Who do you consider a visionary?" - Meredith: "The person who decides if I get this job or not"... To me that is a cringe answer. Just my opinion though.

[@emmakirkner4346]

I can see how some of these questions are "trick" questions and the ladies have to be very careful when choosing how to answer. Most likely it's a test to see how well they can answer off the cuff

[@lizettewanzer8650]

The one girl should never have said she's "a diehard Steelers fan" in this context. Even if it's true, this was not the time to say that! 🙄😮

[@guysovereign]

Actions always speak louder than words. If the uniform made the woman, then why have a try-out at all? Just put the uniform on anyone who signs up and you would be finished. They can say whatever they want with their words, but their actions clearly show how they really feel. Their actions clearly show that it is the woman who makes the uniform.

[@PureAloha78]

21:32. Love the fact she’s looking at the table while answering the question. Lol

[@froginapool7474]

she was high AF on something Rumor was it was adderall She didn’t act like that in other seasons and after the staring at the table interview, Courtney quits the team for “personal reasons.” Hypocritical if you ask me. When Caitlyn LeGrande was cut, we saw all her actions which led to the cut but with Courtney, Keli said personal reasons was the only explanation they’d get. Plus they also kept Tia’s sketchy ass behavior and Tobie’s personal issues that weren’t narcotics related on the down-low also by not filming either of them. season 2 and 3 (I think) was the only time we saw them on camera.

[@jimmyshaker1720]

When at 11:35 Brittany says, "No" to all Kelli's questions she looks like a shy lil kitten. She cracks me up every time. 😁🐱

I think they were referring to the "cowboys" part of it. Are they the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, or Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders? I think that's what the question meant, but either way, the judge pronounced the S. 😂😂

And like didn’t she ever look at the application forms or the many posters that are in the place?

[@ddl4374]

You better know about the franchise you're trying to join support and represent. Its Respect.

[@KrystalReanna11]

I honestly feel like what they did with those pageant girls was a test and they were using them as an example. Because they were both titleholders and to say that they can’t go and do their duties as title holders was really mean and unnecessary. I am on those girls sides and not Kelly’s, because if it were Cassie or a veteran who had to do that they would’ve let them go.

[@nancyleddige6997]

In my opinion, the two sisters were used for a story line. Kelli, Charlotte and CMT knew at least one of the girls had to leave for her pageant duties. They knew it, so they decided to do we had two girls left TC, so let us bring in a girl who would have a spot in TC if the two sisters did not take a spot. Kelli was wrong about the whole thing because two girls left TC in Season One. Season 4 was not the first time it happened.

[@millylese2854]

I think for the uniform question the right answer is neither because while having and wearing the uniform is such an honor, they're saying that they are nothing without the uniform and I think that's wrong. Without the ladies, the personality, and the dancing/talent, the uniform wouldn't be worn and I think that needs to be recognized.

[@guysovereign]

Actions always speak louder than words. If the uniform made the woman, then why have a try-out at all? Just put the uniform on anyone who signs up and you would be finished.

They don't. It's such basic general knowledge she might well have intended that to be an easy "settling into the interview" question, but the girl utterly tanked it.

[@marylynnneill1958]

Just general intelligence.

[@virgie4715]

Because there’s just some basic, general knowledge that I think you should kinda just want to know. Not to mention, a smaller squad of these girls will be picked, after the entire squad is picked. Those girls will be who perform USO tours, they do promotions, they’re who you see on commercials and in ads. They will also be in like set-down/dinner type of engagements and you never know who you’ll be talking too. I think they do expect a little *too* much of these girls, no more than they’re being paid, but if you’re pursuing this then you should know you can’t be a total dumbass.

Watching Meredith interview I'm really shocked she somehow made the squad

[@sportsprincess5988]

Apparently she only made the squad cause her boyfriend or someone close to her knows Jerry Jones and they were told not to cut her. She’s a beautiful technically train dance but she just couldn’t with the dcc style. Looking at her journey she is constantly being corrected and making a lot of mistakes.

[@brandi5803]

I’m not super critical, but I have no idea why Meredith got so many chances that other people have been let go for and she made the team. Something went wrong there.
