I agree redcattex, curly hair is beautiful too! I think that is what made Meghan F so pretty a last season. Sometimes striaght hair is boring. Brandi has very pretty curly hair that seemed to bounce and look great while dancing.

As a curly girl...I was dissappointed to see that every makeover involved straightening the hair. So only smooth, straight hair is acceptable to be a DCC? Why must they all look alike? Especially the girl from last year, now she "doesn't look like a stripper" because her hair is straight?? She has beautiful natural curly hair and it's sad that it's portrayed that way..not the message the DCC should be sending out to young girls out there.

As far as Jay plugging his company and dvd, I see nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with making money in America. His shirt logo didn't take up any air time and plugging the dvd was only about 10 seconds. I would imagine his business has a lot of overhead particularly in liability insurance. After he shells out taxes and wages and travel and equipment and advertising and insurance he probably doesn't start pulling in a profit until at least 6 months into the year. Add in the libs making him pay for health insurance for all his employees in the coming future and he may owe money at the end of the year. If selling those dvd's during DCC air time can provide him some ching ching then go for it is what I say.

YankeeDallasfan, I agree that Kelli was looking pretty good too. She always looks good. Did you see her assistant Rachael? I'm telling you! I can barely watch these episodes anymore without my defibrillator strapped to my chest.

I think they let Sarah come down before reaching the top which was the right thing to do IMO. I think I was screaming louder than her just watching her scream. I think my neighbors are used to it by now though.

I doubt Jay provides his services for free, he is probably paid as a consultant. With all the money the Cowboys take in, he'd be a fool to do it for free.

Brandi Kilby is a strikingly beautiful young woman whether her hair is curly or straight. So glad she tried out again and made it.

That challenge sutff is do boring! It was boring last year and it's boring this year. Many people have to do those types of things for work, for team building. Granted, it's usually not that drastic but many of us have done something like that.

There is SO much we would all like to see that is so much more interesting than that - the dancing, the conversations with Kelli, etc. Really wish we could see more of the dancing, the choreography.

Did anyone else think that Sarah was about to die up there? I was expecting the profanity to start flying any second. They didn't show her fall though. I wonder if she even did?

I know that Kelli had gained weight during the off season but I thought she looked good on yesterday's episode.

sweet, I'm guessing Jay threatened to stop providing free services to the dcc if the show didn't give his company more air time. Just a guess. Next year it will be the Kitty and Jay Show with a little bit of DCC thrown in.

I just don't see the point of those challenges. I tend to fast forward through those parts.

chyna, I'm not sure it's that easy to conquer fear. I used to be very afraid of riding roller coasters. I sought out the biggest, baddest roller coaster around and rode it- guess what, I'm still afraid of roller coasters. Hawking the dvd is turning the show into an infomercial. I was thrilled during the first couple shows that Jay had little air time. Now it's back to business as usual, cmt don't you ever read these boards???

I would like to make two points about the whole "drop thing."

1) They only did it to spice up the TV show (a poor excuse in my opinion to put the girls through that); and

2) Remember a few seasons ago when they jumped out of a plane? Well, Kelly did it as well saying "I wouldn't ask my girls to do anything I wouldn't do." If that's true, why didn't she have to do the whole drop thing?

I think the drop thing was very irresponsible!!

I think the reason they do things like that is to conquer fear. So that when they have to speak in front of people or perform in front of a large crowd, they will be more relaxed.

I thought that these activities were voluntary? Yes, its probably not 100% acceptable to bail after you see what it is, but I imagine doing so wouldn't get someone kicked off the squad. At least I'd hope not.

One thing I'd like to know is why they insist on doing these things that involve heights. Is there no other challenge they can present to the candidates that is as strong a confidence-builder as flinging yourself off an umpteen stories high perch? It seems to be a recurring activity. There has to be something else they can do.

I thought the drop thing was going too far too. The way Sarah and Mia were petrified.

Well, I think Jay is just plugging those DVDs because they are produced by CMT . . . just a thought. ;) Like the ladies, I'm sure he doesn't see a dime from them.

Km2, I agree with you. Jay is getting annoying plugging that video all the time, he is sounding foolish.

I definitely agree with km2 about the challenge of falling into the net! Why take such a chance with the girls!!! Accidents do happen, no matter how safe something may seem. Besides that, you can die from schock, a heart attack, etc. Aren't we taught early on, not to take a dare, which it seems to me this is. For instance the bon fire at Texas A&M where many students died, while building it, years ago. I could go on and on. The DCC organization is really putting themselves in a very liable position. Let's put the girls first, and not the entertainment aspect of it.

The blue AND pink get excited and run up to her....but the preview is just a diff clip than the actual show.

I thought it was an ok episode....lil too much Jay. They could have cut the falling into the net segment in half to allow for more dancing. I feel bad that Jay is stuck to promote the DCC video any chance he can. Gotta love the shameless plugs!! NOT! And his shirt with his website on it?? Pretty tacky!

Wow! How cool to watch the next episode a week before it comes on!! Thanks so much for the info.
I did notice though that last episode it gave a preview of the new tc canidate coming in it showed the vets (in blue) screaming and running up to her. When you watched the new 5 episode it showed the tc girls (in pink) running up to her. What poor editing that was! Let me know if you all saw the same thing and I am just not crazy, lol!
