Season 9

Tryouts begin for the 2013-2014 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading squad. 500 ladies put their dreams on the line and try to survive one of the most demanding dance auditions in professional sports.

With 55 high-calibre girls making it to finals, the 30 veterans join the audition process and must fight to keep their place on the team; Kitty Carter takes no prisoners as she prepares the girls for their solos.

Fear takes over for the new training camp candidates as they face the reality of doing the DCC kick line and jump splits for the first time, landing in an unnatural position takes a lot of faith.

To be a DCC, you need to look like a DCC. This week Kelli makes sure all the girls have the look starting with makeovers and she takes the new girls to the swank Halcyon salon for new hairdos.

The candidates feel the pressure to look the part as they enter the sixth week of training camp, and Melissa Rycroft and Tina Kalina sit in for Judy and give Kelli some fresh eyes.

With three girls left to cut and the first game around the corner, the pressure is intense as the girls return to the Dallas Cowboys' stadium to take the field for the first time since auditions.

The final day of training camp has everyone nervous because Kelli and Judy might take a squad of less than 36 people. After some tough decisions, fear turns to elation as the final team is announced.
