Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team

I disagree with the other poster here.

This show is basically a behind the scenes look at the making of the DCC team. What do you expect? It is a cheerleaders JOB to look pretty and dance well, etc. I do not think this show is sexist because it is only doing what the job requires it.

Just like a successful doctor requires certain attributes, just like a successful ballet dancer requires certain attributes. The same goes for a cheerleader. You may not like the truth, but it IS the truth.

Anyway, I like this show because it's a reality competition show and I enjoy those. I only wish they featured more people instead of concentrating on a scant few.

Overall I give this show 5 out of 10. It's entertaining but you won't learn anything watching it.

I don't care about the drama or the storyline. I watch it with the sound off, just like I watch beauty pageants. Crank up the stereo, kick back and have a beer or three.

Dallas Cowboy Cheerleading Team is considered the best of the best in professional cheerleading. They're up there with the Laker Girls. Those who complained about this show being sexist or embarrassing for women have no idea what professional cheerleading is about. No, these are NOT just some girls selected out of a beauty pageant that goes out on the field and shake their pom poms . Yes, they are beautiful but they're also extreme athletic, great dancers, well spoken, trained in etiquette, college educated, and have excellent sense of fashion. If a girl is lacking in any of these area, they will train you.

In addition to staying in shape and memorized nearly a dozen dance routines, the cheerleaders also need to do calendar shoot, attend charity events, and do many other performances outside the regular season football games. They go through military-like boot camp training that even some men may have trouble with.

These girls are expected to perform in front of camera and appear on TV. When you're on camera, there's barrel distortion, which is when a camera lens can cause straight lines to appear curved, thus making you look fatter. This is why most actresses and models are incredibly thin and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are no exception. I.

I think cheer leading in general is sexist, not to mention outdated.

This show is shocking to watch at times seeing Kelly Finglass and her cronies measure up these young women more at times based on how thin and pretty they are than on their actual talent. On the flip side, all they're there for is entertainment purposes during half time. As long as these girls know that, understand that and are okay with it, then keep on. I however, think it's crappy and think that they should go use their dancing abilities for something else instead of parading around like eye candy. They have so much to offer! This show exploits these women. And why does Kelly always have that scowl on her face? She looks like she just ate a cockroach.

The main reason I even watched this show is because I'm a dancer and enjoyed watching the dance rehearsals.

I enjoy watching what these ladies go through to make the team. The DCC is the best team out there and everyone wants to be a part of it, but it takes a lot to make it. I applaud every single lady who has what it takes to make it onto the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
