- The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders weigh in on getting the 'Cheer' treatment! Kelcey Wetterberg, Reece Allman and Victoria Kalina, along with coaches Kelli Finglass and Judy Trammel, chat with ET's Brice Sander about their docuseries, 'America's Sweethearts.' The show is already drawing comparisons to the hit Netflix docuseries, 'Cheer,' and Victoria says the team is 'ready' for a similar worldwide audience. Plus, Kelli addresses the body image conversations that surrounded the original series, 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Cut,' confirming they 'don't weigh' the cheerleaders anymore.

Kelcey is an icon as a cheerleader, and a hero as a nurse. What a wonderful person
I wanna be her when I grow up! I’m 43 btw! 🩷🩷🩷
You know her personally? lol 😂
‘ICON’ haha.
Kelcey so humble and good at her job ❤
RIGHT!!! She literally owned her position as a lider, didn’t complain not even once, she truly know how to get her stuff together
Wow Kelcey just singlehandedly saved the last question. She’s so articulate and wise
I was thinking the same thing!
Victoria is my favorite and she has been since the beginning. I love her honesty and when she dances those solos just move me. I love her focus on mental health and she is the Queen!!❤
They did her dirty. Yes, she has a lot of stress in her life and mental health issues but has worked a lot in the background to coach rookies in her free time and does a lot of volunteer work. She should have some type of official mentor role to recognize her efforts.
@@fluffytail6355they did and watching her toggle between staying and leaving was a HARD watch. Hope she knows how amazing she is without their validation😔❤
@@AlyviaAshley I’m no psychologist but it seems she’s a people-pleaser who seeks external validation from others and doesn’t want to let anyone down - hence her struggle between resigning and staying for her final year (she didn’t want to give up and disappoint anyone).
It seemed to me that she struggled more with mental health and people-pleasing after her father passed away.
I think DCC would have been wise to appoint a veteran mentor for the rookies to help them settle in, give them some tips, and just be a sounding board - Victoria would have excelled in this type of role being that she did a lot of these tasks from the goodness of her heart anyway. And she was a real role model when she went to see the DCC bus driver in the hospital (who had a heart issue or stroke) and Kelli was there to see Victoria step up but didn’t reward her later as a “leader.”
Kelli acts like an HR person who smiles at your face and expects you to step up then stabs you in the back and refuses to promote.
Victoria is crazy. Her mother is even worse. Yikes.
Charlotte Jones is absent for the hard questions! Kelli really impressed me when she was genuinely worried over the attack at end. Loved how much she cared for the bus driver. Made me love her. Great documentary!
agree!!
@@curlyq112 yep, agree.
I love Kelsey , I believe she loves her life and she is dedicating 100% to dance and her team , maybe that’s why she always looks so pure and humble
Reece is an absolute sweetie,she’s a big ear out star for sure she’s gorgeous humble and a lovely person.
VICTORIA!!!!!! I admire her perseverance getting on to this team and she is a legacy
i NEED this show every year!!! love them.
Billionaire owners and these fabulous women are paid a degrading pittance. Thoroughly disgusted with the owners of the Dallas Cowboys. They should be ashamed of themselves. Netflix show was great.
They only have bazillions of dollars. They can’t afford it.
Charlotte Jones needs to do what is right. She completely disgusts me.
@@fluffytail6355100%
Agreed!! That stuck out to me so much
So true, being paid so little it is truly discusting.
Reece is my favorite she is so sweet 🥺
Agree! I think she is the breakout star of this show!
@@polethgiron5021 you know God is really smiling down on her 💗
What happen to James the bus driver? The show never showed him after the hospital scene. Is he still with us?
Judy’s side eye while Reece was talking 😂
I saw that too
Someone tell Judy the camera is on her
@--ag Ikr, I use to watch it on CMT. She does that alot. I'm glad others see it now and she's like that throughout AS DCC on Netflix. Pray the girls don't feel it
She has never been able to manage her expressions.
@@--ag 😄
Kelcey is stunning!
SPOILER ALERT: Victoria made the right decision by having 2023/4 be her last season. Being a DCC got her dangerously close to having an eating disorder.
I read she was back for her 5th season this year.
I feel like this Netflix series was to show Kelly in a better light than the actual series. Kelly showed her true colors when Sophie was inappropriately touched. Her response to Judy when she said she was talking to the police was “she’s talking to the right people” it wasn’t until she was told that it was a camera man that she got off her ass to see what was actually happening and offered support to Sophie. And sorry but Charlotte, who I actually used to like, speaking about how great these girls are while paying them absolute shit is incomprehensible.
I feel like the Netflix series while made me respect the cheerleaders more it also made me realize just how little Kelly and Judy care about the girls.
I bet Charlotte could take a 10% pay cut and use it to quadruple the DCC's pay. But rich people would never think of something like that, she'd just give her daughter a raise.
I love Reece 💕😭😭
Victoria pays the price for being spontaneous and genuine. She is a beautiful person and great at what she does💗No need for validation from those two older women. You go, Vic!
America’s Sweethearts but don’t even get the pay or the respect that they deserve on the field. These ladies work way too hard and bring too much publicity to the Dallas Cowboys to not have their moment on the field or at least on the big screen. If the guys worked as hard as sees ladies and strove for perfection, they probably would’ve won a Super Bowl since their last win in 1995!
Reece is such a star with the makeup and her dancing is so fire.
I love Kelly so much, she’s such an inspiration! Ageless beauty to boot ❤
Yooo! Me an my Ma love Reece! You’re awesome! Victoria and Kelci! Everyone! What a great show, never knew that side of being an NFL cheerleader, I mean ofc I imagined it being difficult but wow some next level stuff. Shout out to Kelly and Judy - I feel like Judy be mean but she means well. Ya know what I’m sayinnn?
I love this so much, actually am watching it right now I love Kelly and Judy so much they are totally amazing women, now my husband watches it with me it’s just amazing ♥️♥️♥️
David here I just watched the entire series today June 20, 2024. I found it very interesting! When you get done with the series please let me know your thoughts on it here, Thanks 😊
@@DisneyFan-eg3ozmarry me pls
@@DisneyFan-eg3ozI watched the entire Netflix special and am completely disgusted how poorly these women are treated and remunerated
PAY THE LADIES ACCORDINGLY
I need an another season!!! ❤❤❤
After seeing this doc. Being a pats fan from New England…..well, our cheer teem needs to step up their game. The amount of work and sacrifice these ladies put in is flat out admirable.
And the owners need to step up their pay.
Bro, Im a Dolphin fan. I binge this and immediately check out our roster. Im like, okay, we stack up. Then I check your squad, and Im like wait a min...
5:07 blonde woman just glaring and rolling her eyes at Victoria
kelsey is soo beautiful!
Victoria deserves better, Kelceys chat with her at the end of what she deserved the whole time.
Kelcey is the perfect cheerleader 💜💜
It's SO INFURIATING that these athletes are not well paid !!! How cheap are the NFL owners?? come on. They should not have to work 2nd jobs nor share studio apartments, Jesus Christ. They should never put up with that.
Charlotte Jones is the devil. She should be promoting these women and remunerating them adequately. She’s completely shameless.
I disagree, there's so much prestige that comes with it. If you plan a future in dance, modelling or entertainment, it's highly beneficial to your career. Most behind-the-scenes NFL cheerleading staff are former cheerleaders themselves so there's potential for a full-time career. Both Kelly and Judy own their lucrative gigs to NFL cheerleading. They get free meals, meet and greats with celebrities or organizations like cir du Solier, free trips around the world for the show group or calendar shoots. It doesn't seem like such a bad deal to me.
@@carolyn3172it’s a shitty deal. Working long hours half naked for $12 fk off
@@carolyn3172 free meals? Like come on. Why is it always some nonsense when it comes to women getting paid a decent amount.
I loved how the camera panned by the millions the football players make while discussion the pittance made by the girls. These girls are giving their best dance years to this team. They should be paid as athletes. Shame on Charlotte.
reece is gonna be the next face of dcc
Queen Victoria ❤
i miss kelly and judy the most i admire them so much
If phenomenal women like these can move the entertainment industry , imagine how they can move the world. 🌎
Love all of these women!!!!
Can't wait
I had to turn off the Netflix show on this; way too depressing to see these girls being treated with such little value for all the huge effort they put forth.
You have a healthy mind! Good for you 👏🏾👏🏾
reece prolly my favorite rookie in the docu series
I’ve been watching since middle school. Lol The depression and lack of Black/Brown girl representation is getting old. 💁🏽♀️
@@genielove91 it is… I feel like some battles need to be fought like in the work place for example but in more creative spaces I feel like we should just make a lane for ourselves but it’s easier said then done I know I know
Kelcey you are an inspiration!
I love Reece she seems like such a sweetheart ❤
Pay them more!!!!
Do more, I wanna see more
I love they keep framing it as “family” and then they choose to pay them such unfair wages and then cut them every season and retire them after 5 years. It’s not a family, it’s a business and they don’t pay them fairly. They brainwash them into thinking they are fulfilling a purpose and then give them body image issues. These are some amazing ladies. It is crazy that it is other women that perpetuate this instead of fight for at least giving them fair wages.
These girls know what they’re getting into
I would love to know how much Kelli is getting paid compared to the cheerleaders.
I need a makeup, gym, diet, hair routine from the cheerleaders 💕💕
Reece for the W.
Victoria 💕💕
I was inpress by those young women thanks Netflix because I discover a world
reece is so sweet 😭
I have always felt the cheerleaders should be paid more. The money that franchise makes, and now being on Netflix????? Shameful. Those ladies have to struggle too much for income. How disappointing 😢
Why Judy looking at Reece like that while she talking 😂😂
Those old women and weird old men lurking over those young girls. I saw a show where one girl knew her worth and left competition. 😮
Smart girl! Good for her. This is pure insanity to give up her life to be treated like a piece of meat for no pay. Volunteer somewhere and get treated with respect.
There are so good
Kelcey ate that last question!!!!
⭐️
I love reece!!! ❤
Kelly and Judy definitely play favorites with these girls. If you've watched this last series then I don't need to point out which are and which aren't
The whole world 😂 Netflix won't he showing it in my country
PAY THEM MORE
Poor victoria her face at the end of that last conversation killed me.
I just finished watching the part where Kelsey was concerned about the AirTag on her car and having to be watchful? I just wanted to let all of you know that it was probably a sign you know and it’s just a hint as in you guys be very mindful and careful and pay attention to all of these things that she had to pay attention to Kelsey while you guys are going in and out you guys should always walk with the bud system and maybe have a designated parking where you guys are protected because today’s times are not like any other time they’re worse more than ever and I just want you guys to be mindful of that. I love your show. I think you guys are beautiful inside and out you work so hard that I can’t even imagine it’s like 20 times harder than any actor or any thing that they have to do repeatedly you guys are phenomenal and I’ve never ever watched a football game with you guys. Cheerleading and I just wanted to sit and watch you guys on this special and I just wanted to tell you thank you for all that you put into it and thank you for the energy that you offer to the people and I just think that you’re super fabulous and keep up the good work and you guys definitely deserve a really good decent paycheck. This should not be for volunteer no way, good luck and God bless bless.

I hope the ladies are getting paid for the appearance in the doc!!
I didn't expect to love and admire the show as much as I did. It would be great to watch future seasons. I just wanna know, when are these women going to get paid REAL money?!? I get that they are not the main attraction over the pro football players, but being a DCC and giving up so much of your time without being fairly compensated is also outdated. I can barely get out of bed, do my morning routine to try to look cute, work out and complete a full day of work without wanting to pass out and the DCC do so much more than that!! The DCC work full time jobs or go to school full time and they manage to carve out so much time to fulfill their obligations to the DCC organization. It's real HARD work that demands sacrifice at a very high-performance level. Bottom line, people deserve to be paid for work and performing with celebrities and traveling is NOT going to pay the bills. Unfortunately, the show did not make it seems like these girls are landing top paying executive jobs because they have DCC on their resumes. What annoys me the most is that the franchise makes money off of these ladies and has a female decision maker at the top... so essentially, it's a female not paying other hard-working females or not even lobbying for the DCC ladies to get compensated fairly for being amazing athletes. What a shame!
Agreed!
The fact is that DCC members often have to adopt unhealthy habits to maintain the very unattainable fitness level while also exercising to an extreme level. How challenging it must be to eat enough to sustain your body while making sure you don't overeat and gain weight when you have 11 hour game days....... How can you calculate that exact number of calories? They needed to get rid of weigh ins YEARS AGO, not just recently.
❤❤❤❤
Tick tok until one of them squeals to why they really get “chosen” …. Can’t wait 😂😂😂😂
Where has this interviewer been? There has been this is essentially 17 th season of DCC audition process.
WOW!, I'm shocked that Rookie Reece is doing these types of appearances (I'd be pissed if I was a Vet).
It's bizarre. They are pumping her up big time.
Something’s missing…
Who dat?
The women don't like Reece.
@@msbutterflyzwhat makes you say that?
@@abcxyz4653it kinda looks like Kelci is avoiding eye contact intentionally for whatever reason we aren’t privy to
@@msbutterflyz WE LOVE REECE, and I don’t know why the women wouldn’t like Reece she is literally a perfect person - or close to it haha. The ladies on the show all say how nice it is to be around her and pleasant.
Dcc doesnt compare to cheer, that group went down hill so quick with their scandals while dcc tries to keep a clean image
Put Kelly and Judy up the front next time.
Why?
The competition was the show… the new version.. ehhhh.
Did Judy get facelift
I thought that also
Charlotte’s comments about Ari’s height was really off putting.
Why are the cheerleaders more interesting than the players? 😅
I feel bad for Victoria, her entire life has revolved around DCC-literally a job that doesn’t pay. I hope she finds something more.
Kelly looks good here (because that Netflix show really showed the aging).
Reece will be Point in the future for sure. Hehehe
Yep!....
she will be in the swimsuit calendar,
she will be a team leader (probably next yr, even tho I think I heard them say it could be when it''s their 3rd yr),
she will be in show group,
she will be doing a lot of these appearances.
This is a really good show, those woman are incredible..I find Reece to be a bit creepy..Too fake and that nice and innocent persona is just too much. Everyone else seems lovely..
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking about this. Her facial expressions, voice….it’s too much really
She’s just happy, unlike Kelcey and Victoria, this is Reeces first time, she’s grateful for what God gave her.
Imagine doing all those high kicks and the jump kick with a split landing --- could you really expect an overweight person to do that without harming themselves??? Inclusivity should have boundaries and the health and safety of people should be prioritized over their feelings of "being included" and "represented".
I don’t know what you’re going off about but even these women will suffer hip pain for YEARS because of those jump splits and high kicks - regardless of weight
I grew up in Central Texas and on the high school drill (dance) team. We had the DCC come to our high school for summer camps and teach us routines and of course the kick line and jump split. I am now 52 and can definitely tell you, knee and hip pain is real. Any drill team or dance team member who grew up in Texas will know what I mean.
I don't understand how they say they want inclusivity but they talk about weight ? I thought they meant inclusivity as in different races
They do have different races what
Ok, I find that impossible that weight is no longer discussed and no more weighing....we shall see how a much curvier girl looks.
From a legal standpoint, I don't understand how they plan to enforce a contract with their cheerleaders that has a weight requirement if they are no longer weighing the cheerleaders. Are these women on the honor system or is the organization going to start allowing plus size cheerleaders to audition.
And totally didn’t enjoy Victoria part. She is mid twenties, living in her childhood bedroom with a Mom who lives through her child. Looked really unhealthy to me. Work. Life exists beyond DCC BUT that,literally is her life.
Totally agree!.....however, it was painful to watch how she couldn't connect with the rest of the team (and Kelcey using the excuse of her being away for 1 yr just didn't fly with me)....but anyway.
Gen Z is going to try to cancel the cheerleaders.
Oh shut up
Nah. Won’t happen
Maybe they should be canceled. These women are being exploited for financial gain.
Haha you got one above☝️🤫
@@i.i1215 make me
How is it possible that the girls earn so little and they have a reality show, appear everywhere, have calendars and autograph sessions and yet they earn so little. So it's kind of not clear whats happening here..
They know what they are getting into
I bet that gay interviewer is jealous he can't can't be a part of the sisterhood.
I always skip Reece’s scenes
Imagine being in the locker room with her...LAWD!
judy and kelly are too harsh with the weight comments and they avoid it in interviews when someone mentions it and try to justify there rude comments...
How are they gonna cut the 3 brown girls..be so for real. Blatantly biased. 👎👎
what 3 brown girls?.....I missed that part.
@@carolinagirl3110 the first 3 that they cut. I love Reece, she’s a beautiful soul and that’s the only reason why I’m on her team.
I agree, its interesting how they tried to pass off cutting one of them for not having a "Foundation"
@@huntergreene7306 RIGHT! It was so obvious to all of us. That made me mad lowkey.
Im sorry but I don't want kelcey as a nurse. No offense but I just don't (unless it's her passion). She's truly blessed with beauty, talent, work ethic, she needs to be in the entertainment industry in some capacity. Someone else can be nurse. Sorry but that would be a waste of great talent.
good thing it's not up to you
We want less God and Jesus, and more of the work and training these girls go through in this series.
Agree...strenuously.
Almost seems like a cult
@@fluffytail6355🎯
99% of Hollywood and Netflix is without God or Jesus I’m sure you can put up with it for the 5 minutes across the whole season. If not, perhaps you should look into why you find it so triggering
I agree although I will say that’s it’s Texas and Dallas which is part of the Bible Belt sooo that’s what you’re going to see a lot of unfortunately. I am from Texas myself though not religious at all, so it was nerve wracking but I just had to remind myself most people here are like that 😅
I can't stand Victoria lol
same
I don't know about "can't stand"....but I just don't care for her. 😄(she is just not polished enough for me).
For everyone commenting on their pay … they know what they’re doing signing up. These girls are selling themselves. Their real meal ticket and end game is fame and bagging a rich pro player. Let’s be real 😂
Maybe Reece is the exception.
The girls are not allowed to fraternize with the players and how many DCC really transitioned into fame? And how many of them became wealthy from being a DCC? Obviously this OP did not watch the whole series.
I am embarrassed to say that I watched the entire season… waste of time 😂
They do it to bag a wealthy man. It’s a bit sad. The pay is so bad so either way you look at it they are selling themselves.
They’re being taken advantage of.
They just aren’t smart enough to realise it.
Since watching this show on Netflix you have converted me to American football and I’m a Dallas Fan now 🩵
I wasn’t expecting this to happen I was very sceptical about me enjoying watching this series but I’m Definitely a Dallas fan 👊
I love Reece!!
I really love DCC! All of them! When I was about a year old, me, my mom and dad went to a Dallas cowboys home game and we met Judy and Kelli. I’m on a cheer team and this Netflix series just motivates me want to maybe experience what it’s like to be a DCC. 🫶🏼
I heard Victoria was leaving 4 New York.I love her but bless her ❤ she Still needed Media Training💙🤍🤠
