Watched it and these women are soooooo underpaid for the work they do. The fact they have been gaslighted for years by being told it’s more of a privilege then work is ridiculous. Pay them what they are worth. They would of made the DC a lot of money over the years. Disgusting
My thoughts exactly! The amount of money the organisation earns and the amount of work, time and effort these women put in. They deserve more than what they pay them
Totally agree, why do the players get millions of dollars to throw a ball and run up and down a field, well honestly to me the girl's actually do so much more. They deserve more for there amazing work.
The exposure from this documentary might lead to full-time positions for some of these women. The situation is complex. The precarious nature of their positions-where they can be dropped at any moment-makes it far from a stable full-time job. Despite this, they undoubtedly deserve better compensation. Their work isn’t comparable to a job at McDonald’s; they’re essentially juggling two jobs. Considering their youth, perhaps paying them well during their tenure with the team and allowing for career breaks from their day jobs if they’re later dropped would strike a fair balance. The gender disparity in pay is also concerning; the male counterparts on the football team earn significantly more. As a man, I couldn't do what these women do. They are amazing.
They are substantially under-paid compared to football players. However, it's not a requirement to be on the team, let alone audition. Many have FT jobs, live on savings and assistance from family.
I really loved Victoria. Her story was so relatable and i do think she had leadership qualities. I'm so glad she hang up her pom poms coz she deserves waaay more. Good for her
@@nathanmerlinmorawe7407WOW! You’re a bully. Hate is such a strong word. She’s a hard worker, super talented. Always puts up a smile even when she’s hurting, and you would use that word on her?!?!?! For what????? We don’t need people like you. Shameless. Here’s to all the ladies who can relate to Victoria. See people like this? Tell them to get someone to pray for their soul because they need it badly.
@@nathanmerlinmorawe7407hate is a bit extreme 😅 I find her a bit bland and wish they had follow someone else, but she really didn't do anything that would justify anyone hating her!
@@nathanmerlinmorawe7407She creeped me out a bit, to be honest. Not nearly as much as the whacko who nearly starts crying every time she talks about Jesus (which is all she talks about) did, but close. 🤣
Huh? Someone worth is what they accept as pay for the job. They obviously don’t mind the pay otherwise they would quit. There’s thousands of other jobs and careers that you can pursue which pay fair. What a weird complaint.
That’s bold to assume. The Dallas Cowboys themselves aren’t watched world wide. No one cares about American football. However I have to say the ladies are doing a better job at entertainment and should be paid more.
@@moniquebaskett338 I was in Peace Corps and we got more than that every month being "volunteers". Stop calling them volunteers; it's insulting! This is a million dollar business because of those "volunteers". They should be getting paid. But CEOs in sports are always trying to cut out the people who do the most work, i.e. college athletes.
Cough up Dallas Cowboy franchise and pay these women what they should be paid! What they do for the franchise is priceless. The franchise is fully exploiting their drive, ambition, and dedication. It's gross!
And they make them turn in their uniform while also never allowing them to size up. 5 year “career” with 0 transferable skills and no retirement plan? Yeah. That’s a cult.
So why would they do this bs job if they know they are not going to get good money, how can you even complain if you get into this knowing all the facts?
Being a Cowboys fan.....these women have always been the best cheerleaders in the NFL. I'm not sure how the other teams cheerleaders train but Dallas has a great thing going on. DC4L!
I now see the toll this has truly taken on Victoria. Idk who started her on this journey, but she wasn't treated as part of the sisterhood and I am so glad that she is free from this, has moved to NYC and trying to start a new life. Watch the show, you can tell she has been through it. I wish her nothing but the best.
She started because her Mother was on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in the 1980s and she wanted to follow in her footsteps. To me it always felt like in order to prove they weren’t showing favourites to her because of her Mum, they were extra harsh on Victoria. I really hope she is now happy and doing well.
woah this was so intense and very interesting! I do feel like they deserve a better salary, they are literally ripping their hips because of this job, it's insanely hard work that tears their bodies apart. Just because they are wanted spots doesn't mean the salary should be low. Getting a spot on the football team is also a very wanted position, the salary reflects the work. Cheerleaders are athletes too who work extremely hard so they deserve more than a Mc Donalds salary in my opinion. Other than that real shock, I loved the documentary.
I agree. Very underpaid for what they do. It’s gaslighting at its finest. The you should be thankful your here, not we will pay you for your talent and expertise. Sad
The only reason the cheerleaders are not demanding more pay is because the structures keep them small. If you speak up, you're out. And you can forget about lifelong friendships and being part of the legacy. As a justice grad, I find that problematic. If you looked closer, Charlotte, you'd appreciate the work they do. And pay them accordingly. I love this show and I love what DCC does for advancing dance. Proper pay is the last, necessary step to complete that picture!
It's not even minimum wage! They aren't paid for "practice" or "getting ready". They're only paid for the time they are on the field or in the stadium performing. I adore the old show and this but its sexist and disgusting how the women who wear this uniform are treated regarding in terms of pay!
well lets be real there, they are for sure underpaid, but by no means the main attraction and sure there is physical issues but nowhere near the risk as a football player. def should be paid reasonably though.
@@lovetwins89 What worth do players have? They are a bunch of men chasing a ball around a field. Money is better spent on healthcare and care of the young/old. No one deserves millions of dollars to chase a ball. It is mindless. This is another example of raging sexism and patronizing treatment of women.
Kelcey is stunningly beautiful and has an amazing aura, she just stands out. Anisha not making the team is a crime, a terrible mistake. They are athletes on their own right who should be paid as such. Getting 3 hours of sleep per night and barely being paid is nuts. These girls should be able to do this as a full time job if they want to. Like at least have the option too, it takes so much time and they all end up getting hurt too. A mess.
I have tried cheerleading in my humble hometown and I have full respect of the beauty and athleticism of what these girls go through. Simply being good at dance as an individual does not cut it anymore. Cheerleading has been very much a very technical and complex thing, not to mention while maintaining the creativity and aesthetics of it.
I think this is so cool because with the show, it would stop showing during the season, so we never knew what would happen. Here, we see the challenges the girls face throughout the season!
Keep living the dream! We see you’ll for just a few seconds a game, but you do charity events, ring oh honor and star signings, sorry for little pay, tough schedule workouts, and I know it’s tough the last year! Thank you for the team support and thank you for the love , beauty and passion from a true Dallas Cowboys Fan!
This doesn't get a lot of attention. Feels like cheerleading as a sport is being underestimated. The rehearsals might look like a no-brainer, but they've all put their all into every single one of their performances. This isn't for fun only. This is their lifelong passion.
Many of these ladies are more famous and popular than the footballers and yet they get nothing as wage. They get injured, they have to battle with their inner negative talk, build up self esteem daily all next to their day jobs. Incredible will power 👏👏 Greed won't help, PAY THEM WELL✊ Congratulations to all DCCs 🎉
I was a faithful watcher of DCC Making the Team since it first aired. I was so upset when it ended. Beyond happy that Netflix picked up this new series. It's sooo good. A little "F" up to see more behind the scenes. These girls work their butts off for pennies.
Yes; pennies. But they want the connections and experiences to accompany the pennies. Some return year after year so they know what they are getting themselves into, for better or worse.
Very confused as to why these women are scrutinized and picked apart even more than VS models, work twice as hard probably, yet paid peanuts 🤬 They’re amazing.
I was a Cheerleader for Clemson University. Those girls were amazing and I was the captain. The girls are like sisters in sorority. We’re still connected even after graduation.
1st off! Let me tell you! I remember watching the tv show and them talking about the lack of pay back like 15 years ago! Fast forward to today they talk about how much these girls have brought so much money, for the biggest Football team in America with a revenue of 9 billion! While these girls STILL getting paid dust! That it should be a privilege to be on the team???? Dreams shattered, complexes! They really showed their A$$e$ in this one! SO frustrating watching last night. These Girls are very talented all while working jobs and breaking their necks for them? Nooo maaam! It was frustrating to me. Then making a girl stay another year because she got cut, to tell her she was TOO SHORT literally at the end of tryouts? lmao
That part was disgusting. I have been on this tour before. I don’t recall if it was the same guy (although I do specifically remember him asking people to pose in front of the girls’ pictures so maybe it IS the same one) but I don’t think he made that creeper comment on the tour I went on, probably because there were women and kids in it. That dude is delusional anyway if he thinks any of those girls would hook up with him. 🤣 I’m sure he doesn’t really believe they would and he was probably just trying to be funny but the comment was creepy and gross and made him look all kinds of bad.
Very talented and hard working girls, smart, beautiful inside and out! They are not getting paid enough for all the bs they are going through. I respect their dedication 👏 i hope they will start to pay money and respect this girls worth.
I don't know. I don't find it admirable for women to accept less than what they are. To dedicate yourself to an organization that blatantly disrespects you is nothing to respect.
@nylotus at least they are famous now, and they will get a lot of job offers from different companies. I checked their instagram, and they have lots of followers and offers to promote stuff...
Just watched this fantastic documentary series. These women are incredible! All the hard work they put in, it’s absolutely amazing! The blood, sweat, tears, and more tears put in translates beautifully on the field. Two things I definitely took away after viewing, first the Thunderstruck bit is definitely my favorite! Especially the kicks at the end, pretty fuckin’ epic! Second, it’s very safe to say that the future of Kleenex Brand is safe and secure. Great job ladies! I highly recommend this series!!
This show is basically the same thing over and over again, but I am very happy there's going to be a new season. I've actually missed those girls and am glad they are continuing. Netflix was smart to pick up this show.
I would love for them to do interviews with previously cut team members and those that tried out for years and never made it… I always would like to see interviews with those from year 2007 😉
I only know about the Dallas cheerleaders when they have some shots being shared on TikTok and Instagram about how they hype up the crowd. Now this documentary really open up my eyes. I’m in Asia so I have no clue how they actually operate. Glad to watch it. Wish a change for these girls
It would be nice if they did a story about the first nfl cheerleaders. The Colts started the trend, and these other cheer squads wouldn't exist otherwise.
David here I watch all seven episodes and I thought it was very interesting, I hope someone here leaves their thoughts on the show. I have mixed feelings if they are taking advantage of the ladies??? Because of the lack of pay. They know that the ladies want to be a part of something bigger than themselves and the organization uses that to their advantage. It is such a short lived title, one year at a time. You could see how they could get addicted to the fame. I don’t know why I am surprised that it has become a Mother Daughter tradition. It has been going on for over 60 years. It seems a lot like the beauty pageants. They really know how to market them with Barbie dolls, calendars and T shirts. I hope they get paid something for doing the calendars. All the best to them 😊 I hope there dreams come true!
This needs to be on Netflix already! I’ve watched all seasons on CMT and I’m so excited to see more into the girls personal life’s and more beyond just training camp.
I kept wanting to reach into the screen and give her a hug, I hope Victoria doesn't re audition and just finds it in her to walk away and take a break from all things DCC.
@@VeginMatt Yes... I hope she gets the help she needs and finds peace. She's a troubled soul for sure. Recent stories featuring her make it sound like she's doing well since hanging up her pom poms. She's moving to NYC, looking to audition for the Rockettes. Best of luck to her.
One of the girls was favored because her mother worked there it was clear she was poorly prepared but she passed because of her mother and much better girls left
I’m like 20 minutes in and stopped watching because it pissed me off. Disgusting. How about they ask the football players to play for the love of the game with no compensation. Obviously I’m not saying they need to be paid millions like the men, but they should be paid more than a chic fil a worker.
Absolutely, the personal financial cost to them also, is disgusting. Also it's not as if they cannot afford to pay them a decent amount. Used and abused
Yo this is kinda depressing ! All these talented girls not getting what they deserve ! Going through a lot and questioning their ability to be successful and great. All these breakdowns for absolutely nothing! GIRLS , all of you are beautiful and great and talented and successful and worthy ! This game doesn’t define you . Keep shining ❤
David here I been a movie buff for over fifty years and I just watched all seven episodes and I thought it was very interesting! I was very impressed with the ladies and families how much they give up just to audition. Well worth seeing. 😊
Its crazy how a TV network change can shift the perspective of a show that's been on since 2006? I bet they didn't expect so much back lash from the new audience.
For those generally into these kinds of Docs…. Just watched one on Peacock that was massively entertaining. I’m not even a pro sports viewer. But I find these docs addicting. Especially those that do somewhat of a Deep Dive into a specific season, infamous moment, general league history, or Team/Athlete bio, etc. I recommend y’all check out Peacock’s 3 parter on the 1990’s NY Yankees, one of their worst seasons ever. Tons of fun stuff there . Bronx Zoo '90: Crime, Chaos, and Baseball
they got paid, they just get paid terribly. dcc left cmt 2 years ago, but they were paid for both their work and for the show. but with the dcc being the most famous and the highest paid in the industry they are still not paid enough to have it as a full job. it is requirement for them to have another source of income. all NFL (and NBA and etc) cheerleaders have a main job, and cheerleading, even with all it's commitments is nothing more than extra income because they pay them pennies. this just shows how little women are valued in the sports industry as well.
I think for many, it's the trophy (uniform) and sense of belonging - but I agree- for the commitment, the football knowledge, the added appearances-- I'd wanna be on show group to travel. But how do you work FT and travel like that? If you lived in DFW forever with established employer, but many may not let you off
I use to adore or fascinated by cheerleading when I watch hellcats and bring it on. Now not so. I’m from Asia. And then I thought watching this can bring back some fond memories of those movies, but this documentary is so horrible to watch! Exploiting these young girls making them work so hard and then suffer from health issues later while getting paid peanuts. And those Karen-like management is also horrendous, shaming women, and kicking them off the team like it’s so gleeful to do. I could have sworn their faces somehow enjoyed that. Sick old women.
I’m glad Victoria made the decision to leave and show those old ladies that she’s in control of her own mental health. Big money has no emotion or compassion. Just wait till those old ladies get send walkin
Victoria was the saddest for me and how she was treated there. She for sure is a leader because she speaks to so many women including myself. They couldn’t see her potential. She bloomed like a flower outside that place. I’m glad she got out of that toxic environment where she was not supported or seen. Also, Jerry Jones and his family should be ashamed of themselves. Their daughter especially, Charlotte Jones who does not support women’s rights. If they did they would pay these DCC like the stars and athletes they are who support “their” team! Do people not come out to see DCC? Absolutely, they do as they come to see the football players. They are one of a team. They pay Dak Prescott (Dallas football player) $55,000,000 and he averages $60 million a year. Yet, they pay their DCC girls minimum wage. Anyone, else see an issue with this? Are we in the stone ages. Jerry Jones and his family are multi-billionaires. They’ve conditioned these girls to feel like it’s a privilege to be there and to get paid scraps. When they work their as__s off! Then Jerry Jones has the nerve to say his best moment was when Beyoncé performed. Bet, they accommodated Beyoncé and paid her real good to be there. When they cannot even pay their own DCC girls. They’ll answer to God someday. Greed! They literally exposed themselves on camera to the world of what kind of people they truly are. Couldn’t even pay a 37th cheerleader. Heartless.
She and Wil did get married, earlier this year... Very weird situation there. Clearly she's very religious, which is fine, but there's something else going on there. Lack of maturity? Don't know, but something's off with her. He seems like a nice guy, but clearly knows he's marrying way up the ladder. Victoria though... I felt really sorry for her. Definitely has stuff to work through, I hope she gets the help she needs and finds peace. I think her mom royally screwed her up.
@@WHJeffBShe is super immature and creepy with all the religious stuff. She has never had a boyfriend before this guy and interestingly before they even showed him when she said she was engaged I already knew what he would look like and act like and once they showed him I was right.
@@FreshSpecimens Yeah, it's clear she had a very sheltered religious upbringing. When you say you know what he'd look/act like, what do you mean? Like I said, it looks like the guy KNOWS he married way up the ladder (I'm not going to engage in personal attacks here, but...). He's going to spend his whole life "looking over his shoulder" for the handsome, probably equally religious guy to sweep in and take her away. As pretty as she is, I would've lasted about 2 dates with a girl like that... Would be like dating a 10yr old.
They make these girls think that they don't need them and that is a privileged to be their cheerleaders but it's the other way around they are the one that need the chearleaders .
After watching the first episodes and repeatedly hearing the term “world-famous”, I’m genuinely curious if there really is a fan base outside of the US for these cheerleaders. I know there are some American football fans in Europe, but I’ve never come across cheerleading fans outside the US…
I would like to see a show about like 'Where are they Now' to see what the DCC past series of' Making The Team' are up to now. All I know is Victoria is teaching dance in New York trying to become a Rockette.
PAY.THEM.WHAT.THEY.ARE.WORTH!! Damn! All that dedication and hard work and you're paying them a minimum wage?? Just a GROSS management and company gaslighting these talented and dedicated women by telling them "It's a privilege" to get them to work for PEANUTS. Shame on you DC Owners and Management!
I love Netflix for portraying the transparency and the truth behind these Dallas cheerleaders.. the management need to be changed, not those horrible Karens!
Watched it and these women are soooooo underpaid for the work they do. The fact they have been gaslighted for years by being told it’s more of a privilege then work is ridiculous. Pay them what they are worth. They would of made the DC a lot of money over the years. Disgusting

I love seeing cheerleading in the film industry! This sport needs to be highlighted more in the media!
these are cheerleaders in name only. More apt as strippers with a bit of clothing
You have to be in an amazing shape to do that but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a sport

Very confused as to why these women are scrutinized and picked apart even more than VS models, work twice as hard probably, yet paid peanuts 🤬 They’re amazing.
Sometimes I forget that football teams still have cheerleaders, you barely see them on tv lol. I feel so bad now, didn't know it was this hard.
I was a Cheerleader for Clemson University. Those girls were amazing and I was the captain. The girls are like sisters in sorority. We’re still connected even after graduation.
I love it. They look so elegant.
I loved victoria ... she was amazing dancer and a fighter ..
Me too ❤ her!!!
❤ Victoria
Me too!
I think she is living the dream for her mom. It feel forced and I’m glad she is done.
I’m so happy this is happening. I’m remember watching DCC making the team on CMT!
0:10 OMG WHO IS SHE SHE'S GORGEOUS
Kleine!! (I am pretty sure) She is gorgeous!❤
1st off! Let me tell you! I remember watching the tv show and them talking about the lack of pay back like 15 years ago! Fast forward to today they talk about how much these girls have brought so much money, for the biggest Football team in America with a revenue of 9 billion! While these girls STILL getting paid dust! That it should be a privilege to be on the team???? Dreams shattered, complexes! They really showed their A$$e$ in this one! SO frustrating watching last night. These Girls are very talented all while working jobs and breaking their necks for them? Nooo maaam! It was frustrating to me. Then making a girl stay another year because she got cut, to tell her she was TOO SHORT literally at the end of tryouts? lmao
Used and abused
Exactly!!! This is unfair! Total BS
On EPISODE6, minute 6 to 7, I deeply felt that they we're not given the respect that they deserved.
Yeah, the tour guide basically encouraging the guys to contact the girls via social media pissed me off!
That part was disgusting. I have been on this tour before. I don’t recall if it was the same guy (although I do specifically remember him asking people to pose in front of the girls’ pictures so maybe it IS the same one) but I don’t think he made that creeper comment on the tour I went on, probably because there were women and kids in it. That dude is delusional anyway if he thinks any of those girls would hook up with him. 🤣 I’m sure he doesn’t really believe they would and he was probably just trying to be funny but the comment was creepy and gross and made him look all kinds of bad.
Go Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders !
Very talented and hard working girls, smart, beautiful inside and out! They are not getting paid enough for all the bs they are going through. I respect their dedication 👏 i hope they will start to pay money and respect this girls worth.
I don't know. I don't find it admirable for women to accept less than what they are. To dedicate yourself to an organization that blatantly disrespects you is nothing to respect.
@nylotus at least they are famous now, and they will get a lot of job offers from different companies. I checked their instagram, and they have lots of followers and offers to promote stuff...
This reminds of dallas cowboys cheerleaders making the team on CMT
Such a great show! ❤
Probably a more updated ver tbh 🤷♀️
Anisha was great 🎉
Just watched this fantastic documentary series. These women are incredible! All the hard work they put in, it’s absolutely amazing! The blood, sweat, tears, and more tears put in translates beautifully on the field. Two things I definitely took away after viewing, first the Thunderstruck bit is definitely my favorite! Especially the kicks at the end, pretty fuckin’ epic! Second, it’s very safe to say that the future of Kleenex Brand is safe and secure. Great job ladies! I highly recommend this series!!
I’ve watched every episode of the last series! And did a rewatch on paramount + for this! I am sooo excited! DCC!!
I had no idea it was on there! Ty!
This show is basically the same thing over and over again, but I am very happy there's going to be a new season. I've actually missed those girls and am glad they are continuing. Netflix was smart to pick up this show.
I would love for them to do interviews with previously cut team members and those that tried out for years and never made it…
I always would like to see interviews with those from year 2007 😉
I only know about the Dallas cheerleaders when they have some shots being shared on TikTok and Instagram about how they hype up the crowd. Now this documentary really open up my eyes. I’m in Asia so I have no clue how they actually operate. Glad to watch it. Wish a change for these girls
I used to love watching the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader movie.
It would be nice if they did a story about the first nfl cheerleaders. The Colts started the trend, and these other cheer squads wouldn't exist otherwise.
I Didn't Know The Colts Started The Cheerleader Thing At NFL.
@hannahburke7328 Most people don't, unfortunately. The 1954 Baltimore Marching Colts would be an awesome documentary.
Well, it’s a shame that they’re just not iconic like Texas Women.
@@ashleymeggan iCoNiC
These are the most talented in the world. We'd rather watch talented individuals than a historical retrospective
Kelceyyyy is everythingggggggggggggggggggg love her
Halloween is gonna be awesome this year
I was so sad when the show was dropped. So excited for this!!
You look 🥰😍 like a beauty yourself sweetheart 💋
@@vinnygognitti8858 Awh thank you, have a great day ❤️
I know right they need to bring it back
You should be ashamed of underpaying these hard-working ladies. It's just disgusting that a corporation this size is not appreciating these woman.
David here I watch all seven episodes and I thought it was very interesting, I hope someone here leaves their thoughts on the show. I have mixed feelings if they are taking advantage of the ladies??? Because of the lack of pay. They know that the ladies want to be a part of something bigger than themselves and the organization uses that to their advantage. It is such a short lived title, one year at a time. You could see how they could get addicted to the fame. I don’t know why I am surprised that it has become a Mother Daughter tradition. It has been going on for over 60 years. It seems a lot like the beauty pageants. They really know how to market them with Barbie dolls, calendars and T shirts. I hope they get paid something for doing the calendars. All the best to them 😊 I hope there dreams come true!
Dude, I 100% agree! They are taking advantage of them!
Very problematic. The way they talk about the looks of these women. I feel like the women who are in charge never outgrew the 1980s.
This needs to be on Netflix already! I’ve watched all seasons on CMT and I’m so excited to see more into the girls personal life’s and more beyond just training camp.
Same here. I hated when it left CMT. The only 'reality show' I watch
Love Victoria DCC is in her blood .. shes always ready to volunteer or take a pic with a fan she’s just it!
Everytime i see a cowboys game i love to see their show
Kelsey should do Dancing With the Stars! She is a star.
That jump split looks painful.
Right? I couldn't do it! WATCHING looks difficult, let alone DOING 😮
And from dancing perspective it’s dangerous. Many of girls have life long issues with hips and joints… they are real athletes without athlete pay…
Yeah, and not only that, but some have to have hip surgery after all this dancing
Interesting 🧐. Even if I’m not a Dallas Cowboy fan! But hey it’s nice to see more inside of the NFL.
I'm not a cowboys fan but a huge fan of DCC! so talented and well mannered
I love & respect for DCC ❤️🏈📣
Respect. Training is so hard 👏👏👏 a friend tried to join. Really tough
Beautiful and hard worker
There is nothing more entertaining drinking a beer than a kick line .. Love your work girls...
Im on the second episode and i just love Victoria. I think however that being a DCC is not good for her mental health, she seems very fragile
I kept wanting to reach into the screen and give her a hug, I hope Victoria doesn't re audition and just finds it in her to walk away and take a break from all things DCC.
@@VeginMatt Yes... I hope she gets the help she needs and finds peace. She's a troubled soul for sure. Recent stories featuring her make it sound like she's doing well since hanging up her pom poms. She's moving to NYC, looking to audition for the Rockettes. Best of luck to her.
One of the girls was favored because her mother worked there it was clear she was poorly prepared but she passed because of her mother and much better girls left
She was also a veteran, they know what she can do. She also explained her situation.
She worked her @$$ off to be there 😭 they said many times it doesn't matter who your parents are
Go Cowboys and Go Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!
My heart is so full now
I’m like 20 minutes in and stopped watching because it pissed me off. Disgusting. How about they ask the football players to play for the love of the game with no compensation. Obviously I’m not saying they need to be paid millions like the men, but they should be paid more than a chic fil a worker.
Absolutely, the personal financial cost to them also, is disgusting.
Also it's not as if they cannot afford to pay them a decent amount.
Used and abused
Yo this is kinda depressing ! All these talented girls not getting what they deserve ! Going through a lot and questioning their ability to be successful and great.
All these breakdowns for absolutely nothing!
GIRLS , all of you are beautiful and great and talented and successful and worthy ! This game doesn’t define you .
Keep shining ❤
Well done Dallas Cheerleaders Fit ,Fun and Fantastic Role Models in The Sporting World 🙂👍
David here I been a movie buff for over fifty years and I just watched all seven episodes and I thought it was very interesting! I was very impressed with the ladies and families how much they give up just to audition. Well worth seeing. 😊
Please let me know your thoughts about the program here thanks
Its crazy how a TV network change can shift the perspective of a show that's been on since 2006? I bet they didn't expect so much back lash from the new audience.
Adorei a série ❤
FINE ILL REWATCH FOR THE THIRD TIME
For those generally into these kinds of Docs…. Just watched one on Peacock that was massively entertaining. I’m not even a pro sports viewer. But I find these docs addicting.
Especially those that do somewhat of a Deep Dive into a specific season, infamous moment, general league history, or Team/Athlete bio, etc.
I recommend y’all check out Peacock’s 3 parter on the 1990’s NY Yankees, one of their worst seasons ever. Tons of fun stuff there .
Bronx Zoo '90: Crime, Chaos, and Baseball
Loved the series!! Such honesty also.
Thank Australian rock band AC/DC for “Thunderstruck.” True Aussie icons
My question is How much are the cheerleaders getting paid? They didn't get paid when DCC was on CMT.
they got paid, they just get paid terribly. dcc left cmt 2 years ago, but they were paid for both their work and for the show.
but with the dcc being the most famous and the highest paid in the industry they are still not paid enough to have it as a full job. it is requirement for them to have another source of income. all NFL (and NBA and etc) cheerleaders have a main job, and cheerleading, even with all it's commitments is nothing more than extra income because they pay them pennies.
this just shows how little women are valued in the sports industry as well.
@@--s-0-it’s crazy because these ladies are super talented and work very hard to be where they are. They should be paid their worth.
@@Mrs_Bonnee i completely agree
@@--s-0- They should get paid more for their time. They train and work so hard.
I think for many, it's the trophy (uniform) and sense of belonging - but I agree- for the commitment, the football knowledge, the added appearances--
I'd wanna be on show group to travel. But how do you work FT and travel like that? If you lived in DFW forever with established employer, but many may not let you off
I really like these cheerleading thing, in my country we don’t have this on schools or colleges, like anywhere in general. It’s fascinating.
I use to adore or fascinated by cheerleading when I watch hellcats and bring it on. Now not so. I’m from Asia. And then I thought watching this can bring back some fond memories of those movies, but this documentary is so horrible to watch! Exploiting these young girls making them work so hard and then suffer from health issues later while getting paid peanuts. And those Karen-like management is also horrendous, shaming women, and kicking them off the team like it’s so gleeful to do. I could have sworn their faces somehow enjoyed that. Sick old women.
This looks good
Amazing can not wait so exciting.
I’m glad Victoria made the decision to leave and show those old ladies that she’s in control of her own mental health. Big money has no emotion or compassion. Just wait till those old ladies get send walkin
i will watch this for educational purposes of course
Victoria was the saddest for me and how she was treated there. She for sure is a leader because she speaks to so many women including myself. They couldn’t see her potential. She bloomed like a flower outside that place. I’m glad she got out of that toxic environment where she was not supported or seen. Also, Jerry Jones and his family should be ashamed of themselves. Their daughter especially, Charlotte Jones who does not support women’s rights. If they did they would pay these DCC like the stars and athletes they are who support “their” team! Do people not come out to see DCC? Absolutely, they do as they come to see the football players. They are one of a team. They pay Dak Prescott (Dallas football player) $55,000,000 and he averages $60 million a year. Yet, they pay their DCC girls minimum wage. Anyone, else see an issue with this? Are we in the stone ages. Jerry Jones and his family are multi-billionaires. They’ve conditioned these girls to feel like it’s a privilege to be there and to get paid scraps. When they work their as__s off! Then Jerry Jones has the nerve to say his best moment was when Beyoncé performed. Bet, they accommodated Beyoncé and paid her real good to be there. When they cannot even pay their own DCC girls. They’ll answer to God someday. Greed! They literally exposed themselves on camera to the world of what kind of people they truly are. Couldn’t even pay a 37th cheerleader. Heartless.
When your team sucks sooo bad , you rather make a series of the cheerleaders than the cowboys 😂😂
They’ve had a series since 2006 it just used to be on CMT
I hope it’s mostly training camp. Looks way more personal than the previous show.
I was thinking the same thing. It looks a lot more intense.
I think it's the entire year- from auditions through the football season
How is this different than the CMT show? (Which I loved)
More personal and filmed for the entire season, not just training camp
I think this is where TRUE reality is.
CMT dropped the show and Netflix most likely picked it up and just did a more updated version of it, I hope we get more seasons
Seahawks fan here, but love DCC
Funny i was just watching Debbie does Dallas
only legends will like this comment.
Cant wait for this
YES YES YES
Watching!
Reece should not get married!
Enjoy your ride first.
I love this show. So raw and honest.
I agree
She and Wil did get married, earlier this year... Very weird situation there. Clearly she's very religious, which is fine, but there's something else going on there. Lack of maturity? Don't know, but something's off with her. He seems like a nice guy, but clearly knows he's marrying way up the ladder.
Victoria though... I felt really sorry for her. Definitely has stuff to work through, I hope she gets the help she needs and finds peace. I think her mom royally screwed her up.
@@WHJeffB that’s what I think too .
@@WHJeffBShe is super immature and creepy with all the religious stuff. She has never had a boyfriend before this guy and interestingly before they even showed him when she said she was engaged I already knew what he would look like and act like and once they showed him I was right.
@@FreshSpecimens Yeah, it's clear she had a very sheltered religious upbringing. When you say you know what he'd look/act like, what do you mean?
Like I said, it looks like the guy KNOWS he married way up the ladder (I'm not going to engage in personal attacks here, but...).
He's going to spend his whole life "looking over his shoulder" for the handsome, probably equally religious guy to sweep in and take her away.
As pretty as she is, I would've lasted about 2 dates with a girl like that... Would be like dating a 10yr old.
oh they are back
They make these girls think that they don't need them and that is a privileged to be their cheerleaders but it's the other way around they are the one that need the chearleaders .
Classy Ladies 🔥👏
Anisha is like the only girl I can relate to.. The rest are like cheerleader barbie robots or something.. scare the shit out of me
After watching the first episodes and repeatedly hearing the term “world-famous”, I’m genuinely curious if there really is a fan base outside of the US for these cheerleaders. I know there are some American football fans in Europe, but I’ve never come across cheerleading fans outside the US…
I would like to see a show about like 'Where are they Now' to see what the DCC past series of' Making The Team' are up to now. All I know is Victoria is teaching dance in New York trying to become a Rockette.
PAY.THEM.WHAT.THEY.ARE.WORTH!! Damn! All that dedication and hard work and you're paying them a minimum wage?? Just a GROSS management and company gaslighting these talented and dedicated women by telling them "It's a privilege" to get them to work for PEANUTS. Shame on you DC Owners and Management!
Heyy CPPB just wanted to say that you are so lovely and adorable ❤️
And that *Netflix is Netflix* 😉
I’m sat!!!
I love Netflix for portraying the transparency and the truth behind these Dallas cheerleaders.. the management need to be changed, not those horrible Karens!
