I truly wish they showed more actual dancing and performance instead of just short clips during background voiceover and interview tidbits.

[@christinepoppy3277]

Was just going to write this!

[@tater82]

Hopefully they’ll see that everyone wants to see this, so next year they’ll dedicate more people to it and make it a decent show.

[@Cantetinza17]

DCC did a slightly better job of doing that. I want to see the tryout process. Not just slow mo moves etc with commentary.

[@L.M.P104]

@@Cantetinza17I agree with your comment about raiderettes then making of 2023 team Dcc did it right by showing the entire auditions I hope the raiders cheerleaders team do the same could a awesome and cool show cause now they’re in Vegas now and are showstoppers probably in their right !

[@sueraiders]

Watch on KZbin or asked to see 2002 if you want to see them dancing and everything they go through it’s so interesting. You’ll see the whole way the making of a raiderette. 👍

[@karenmarler5991]

Anyone besides me think the two ladies running this organization have more character in their pinkie finger than the two ladies at DCC🤔

[@domciuniuszek]

I hope it's not just the editing, but everything about the Raiderettes feels non-toxic! I love it! All I can see is the genuine love and passion for dancing and performing. Also, so much encouragement and acceptance from the team!

[@Cantetinza17]

My friend's sister was a Raiderette she said it is editing. She said, you are putting so many personalities and egos in one space that has the same goal. Toxicity is there, cattiness happens.

[@psymompa]

It is 2023, cannot show any negativity, ha! I'm sure it is all there but not showing it.

[@loriphillips8655]

It’s also a bunch of pretty talented girls. They’re not all sunshine and rainbows with each other all the time.

[@vanillamarshmallow]

KELSEY!!! The DCC made a mistake not taking her back, I'm so glad she's dancing again!

[@sandranorman5469]

50 yard Kelsey from Greenville!!! Thought she resigned from the Cowboys. But she made it!111

[@barbaramsnyder8659]

Kelsey didn't get cut from the DCC, she retired after 2 years---her choice

[@meganedwards1039]

She was in finals a total of 5 times I think. Year 1 and Year 2: Panels killed her. "How many yards are on a football field" "50". Year 2 she was asked about OWNERSHIP and said "I don't know". Year 3: "Tell me about the linebacker position." "So, The linebacker is behind the linemen. He's trying to sack the QB." Neal asked her "Offense or Defense" " Defense" and one of the judges reactions was "Girlfriend."

[@AmerieBalenciaga]

Vicky & Lexy are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING 🤩🖤🤍

[@L.M.P104]

They should show this making the raiderettes on tv and show the auditions actual dancing but making the raiderettes could a cool show I know some say cowboys are the best nfl cheerleaders with their signature moves but nice to see how other nfl cheerleading programs are ran I would watch on tv and hope not a lot of drama if that happens

[@brittneer.1536]

I am so amazed by the Raiderettes 🖤 they are an inspiration and they shine ✨ so so beautiful 😍 I just love this team!

[@jordanleighwheatley]

I like the style of these episodes. Its more documentary than reality tv. Keep em coming!

[@Cantetinza17]

I like it the other way cause I like seeing the boot camps and the etiquette training they get and the education that they get about football and the history of the team.

[@jordanleighwheatley]

@@Cantetinza17 I like the bootcamps too. I meant more along the lines of the editing and reality TV drama, etc. The coaches speak about the dancers more respectfully too.

[@RaiderPerez1]

RNFL 🏴‍☠️ Good luck this season my Raiderettes ❤

[@ronaldredmond3308]

Football's Fabulous Females. Have been and always will be. The best cheerleaders in the league. Have a good 2023 season.

[@rickjohnson2872]

" Have been and always will be. The best cheerleaders in the league" Not really!!!. They are good no doubt about that and they are in the ballpark with Dallas BUT everything they do is exactly what DCC has been doing for decades. I would think that they would do things differently from DCC ON PURPOSE so as not to look like a DCC clone. I am now going to my bunker.

[@Eden_FranHarris]

What if you swapped the head coach and coordinator of the every cheerleader team with the football teams HCs- could the Raiders and Cowboys finally have Super Bowl seasons on their doorstep? 😂😂

[@cocomarineblu993]

Less talking more dancing

[@coffee-co8gk]

Way to go danielle

[@twentyshadesofkay2882]

Raiderettes are #1 Just Win Baby

[@breejones1411]

All this talent and they make less than minimum wage 🤦‍♀️

[@danielleperez8570]

Love this just wish they showed more solos and more of the actual dancing

[@edwardrosemond7169]

Congratulations on everyone participating!

[@terriharris7971]

So Amazing... LOVE THE SILVER AND BLACK ⚪️🖤

[@Michaelp80]

Great 👌

[@BrittJohnson]

another great episode!

[@GeraldLewis-gy5vk]

COOL CONGRATULATIONS 👍

[@stephanie8890]

So much talking. Show the auditions. Enough reality show BS

[@LauraRoberts-ed9nj]

Kelsey!!!!

[@aliciatrotter8089]

It looks like a great group on women. Congratulations to all!🖤

[@HunterEllis_GSU]

🏴‍☠️

[@danielleperez8570]

Hulu where you at with 👀

[@carrir21]

I would have sincerely enjoyed watching this entire series if I could see their dances. 🙄 It's not fair for all their hard work to be reduced to a flash in the background

[@claytonthomas495]

John Gruden Rules Teacher John Perez

[@peto6240]

Wonderful empowering women ❤

[@janettacowart519]

NFL has to do better bringing cheerleaders on the team all American team we know what that means my opinion just add more color instead of 1 or 2 mixed colors every NFL cheerleader team does that and no I'm not racist grew up with all colors go back and look at all the NFL cheerleader teams and someone will know what I'm talking about

[@lorreall]

i agree!!! more diversity is needed

[@michaelmuro4475]

This show sucks. It doesn't really show the girls dancing.

[@rnfl4089]

I would rather have Mcniff than Mcdaniels 😋

[@marcyjames8293]

Nascar

[@giannadisalvatore518]

So disappointed they didn’t show the girls actual solos and dance. That’s what I wanted to see most them showcasing their abilities tricks and dance level. DCC shows all of that. Try again next time to actually show what these cute girls can do and why they made the team not just everyone talking my gosh. This sucks.

[@thesaeedblacknallchannel]

I want to date one kf these girls

[@allgirrrlrider5395]

Dong is so annoying to listen to

[@MR.COLDBLOODED9]

The best cheerleaders ever

[@bernardthefourth]

No trans plz

[@truthseekermissile]

Less makeup is more, just sayin!

[@ashleycarroll5337]

performance and stage makeup is different than everyday makeup

[@truthseekermissile]

@@ashleycarroll5337 it's something.... different is a great start.

[@jelly2983]

I see that you don’t understand stage makeup. Stage makeup is never meant to look natural, it’s too make your face more expressive. These girls are performing to a stadium of people and it’s always the goal to have the people in the back row see your facial expressions. Heavier makeup also photographs better under the strong lights they are using to take photos and film. If they weren’t wearing this much makeup, they would look washed out and you wouldn’t see their facial expressions. So no, less makeup is not more.

[@ashleycarroll5337]

there is a time and place look at any cheerleader or dancer its full glam @@truthseekermissile

[@truthseekermissile]

@@jelly2983 I'm sorry to drop this bombshell on you. Not one man in ANY stadium is looking at these women's faces. I don't even think I have ever noticed Raiderettes had faces until this very video. Kidding, not kidding.
