DCC’s Most Tear-Filled Cuts 😢 #DCCMakingTheTeam | CMT

Cuts are never easy, and each candidate handles the end of her time at Training Camp differently. Some keep their emotions bottled up, but these candidates — and, sometimes, even Kelli and Judy — couldn’t help but let the tears flow.

Follow CMT's Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!

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.

I admire all of the rest of the cheerleaders who wait for their teammates no matter how late it is or how exhausted they are.

When they cut Victoria, and she HELD HER HEAD UP HIGH and said “I’m coming back and use this time to grow” I knew she meant it ! She came back and didn’t have one office visit ! She now a veteran 🙏🏽💯💯👏🏽 AND YES SHE DID OWN IT

Madeline is my favorite "I'm gonna eat some pancakes"

I commend Victoria coming back and owning it. She grew tremendously.

Meredith was a very gentle soul and a great technical dancer. However, Kelli passed up a lot of rookies that did dance better. Even up until the end, Meredith struggled before the announced the team roster. I am glad Meredith was able to have the year of experience on the team, but it was hers to lose this season. Even in a commentary, she mentions that training camp is used for “catch up” and that’s not necessarily the case. After being on the team a full year, she should have been better prepared to defend her spot and show improvement. (Just my thoughts)

I do think Kelli and Judy showed a lot of favoritism to Meredith her rookie year.

What are you going to do tommorow?
Madeline: I’m going to eat some pancakes 😂

I hate watching Julia’s cut, she was not crying at ALL, she was just putting on a performance.. and she kept saying DCC was her dream when it was purely to further herself in her career

[rentme]

Julia was trying to make tears come out but dry as a bone. Then gave guilt trip “I’m gonna call my mom” and having to say “I’m so sad” instead of just BEING sad.

I will always commend Victoria for how well she took her cut especially being 18. Because as an 18 year old I could’ve never been that composed

Victoria's cut was really really hard. Kelli loves her so much. I personally think it hurt Kelli more than it hurt Victoria. I think Kelli didn't want it to affect their relationship. Kelli and Victoria have a relationship outside of this show and outside of DCC. These two are family. Victoria and Kelli's daughter are friends. Tina and Kelli are best friends. Victoria came back so strong the next year. She even made show group. I see Victoria being a group leader and maybe point some day. I hope Dayton comes back at some point. She is so gorgeous and her body is amazing. She is thick. If Dayton comes back she will be a showstopper. I like Meredith but I just think she doesn't have the DCC style. Meredith has never been trained in cheer. Meredith is more lyrical, contemporary, ballet. The girls who are on the team have done some form of cheer or pom before coming to DCC. Some of done it in high school and college. Some have even been captain of their teams. Meredith has no experience with cheer or pom hence the reason why it is so foreign to her. Its like she's learning a new language. I like Meredith but I don't think DCC is for her

Meredith shouldn’t have made it the first time and I will stand by that.

Julia makes me cringe. Not a single tear to mar that perfect makeup. Even Malina's awkward meltdown was genuine and honest. Julia was just fake.

[suzyrunninghawk]

Could you guys do an episode of cuts, who then come back the next, or a later year, and make it? We all love happy endings!

[passinowt]

Victoria’s cut was hard because how can you tell your mom you weren’t good enough this year...

[daniellebotdorf]

When Victoria said "it's okay" to Kelli, that really touched my heart.

[stateofgrace]

madeline took it really well and she came back next year much stronger
edit: also i love how the other girls always give the girl who got cut a big group hug

[ayslimdelgado]

I cried so many times watching this lol. Wow. Wasn’t expecting to cry so much on a Monday morning.

[sydnieireland]

When Victoria said “it’s okay” I bawled. Such an amazing woman!!

[tracygatewood]

Malena had a emotional breakdown, she was very upset, with the outcome of getting cut on the last day of training camp. She needed more dance classes.

[chelseylin]

I wouldn’t really consider Julia’s cut “tear filled” her tears aren’t there it’s almost like she’s trying to cry and act upset but it’s not real 🥴
