1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and for the last time, welcome back to

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: Bimini Bliss. I'm Courtney McKenna alongside Jessica and Tara, and

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: unfortunately this will be our last show here from Resorts

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: World for our twenty nineteen calendar shoot, and I'm sad

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: about it. How are you guys feeling? Well? I know

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like we just got here, but

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: also we've been here for quite a few days, so

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: sometime I'm sad it's coming to an end. It's sadness

9
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: the biggest thing you're feeling, or how are you feeling? Yeah,

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sad. I feel it feels like we just

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: got here. Like Jessica said, you know, it's been raining

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: a lot and we finally got some few days of sun.

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: So now that the sun's out, I feel like I

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: could stay here so much longer, so much longer. We

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: could get a few pool days, beach days. Feel like

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: we're missing that, but we capitalize them whenever opportunity we did,

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: that's for sure. So have I got to talk to you?

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: Jessica was on an episode earlier this week, but I

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: haven't talked to you yet. How has your experience been

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: so far? It's been incredible. It's something that I never

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: could have dreamed. I you know, somebody on staff the

22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: other day I had asked me if a year ago

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: I could imagine myself here in Viminy with the Dallas

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys cheerleaders, and absolutely not. This has been the whole

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: experience of being a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader really is everything

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: and so much more than what I anticipated. So being here,

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: as like I said, it's it's been amazing. And getting

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: to shoot, being pretending to be a model for a

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: couple of days, it's been so much fun. It's certainly

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: something out of the normal everyday life that I live.

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's been a dream come true.

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: And Jessica, did you ever or when you had audition,

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: was this ever like on the horizon for you at all?

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: The idea of calendar shoot or was it literally just

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: a team and all the things you guys got to

36
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: do for that And then you're like, holy crap, I

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: didn't even think about it, but I got to go

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,639
Speaker 1: to a calendar Yeah, I kind of. That wasn't really

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: in my mind. I was just trying to make the

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: team at that point, so, you know, I and everything

41
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: that just comes along with being a DCC has been

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: amazing and this is just like the cherry on top

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: this trip. And you know, now that auditions are over,

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: well finals are over, it's nice to kind of come

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: here with your teammates and celebrate and kind of you know,

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: just do what we love to do and see each

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: other be so beautiful. It's a little reward it is

48
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: making it through and then and then a little relaxation

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: before camp. Can't complain. So how has this year ban

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: for you compared to last year, because you've got now

51
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: got two calendar shoots under your bad Well as far

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 1: as the weather, you know, last year was a lot

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: more sunny and this year was a little bit rainy.

54
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: But you know, I think just as far as the energy,

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: I think it's been a little bit different this year.

56
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: You know, we had, like I said, we just finished auditions,

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: so we're kind of coming off that high of making

58
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: it to training camp and so we're all here as

59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: a team, and it's really exciting to know that all

60
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: of us in this process, in this crazy calendar shoot

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: that we do, we go through all these different elements

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: and just crazy experiences through this trip. We get to

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: kind of experience together. So it's been a lot of fun,

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: made it through the ringer together. That's right, Yeah, Okay,

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: in Tara, So, I don't know if everybody watching knows.

66
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people know your story.

67
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: But you came from the Jets for Jets cheerleader, and

68
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I had talked to you a little bit earlier about

69
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: their calendar process. Can you tell everybody the differences you've

70
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: got to experience that and this? I guess what are

71
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: the biggest differences between the two, Yes, ma'am. So it's

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: it's quite different. I got to travel to Jamaica one

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: year and Turks and Cacos the different year with the Jets,

74
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: and those are absolutely incredible experiences and I can't thank

75
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: the Jets organization enough for allowing me to be part

76
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: of that. But it's definitely different. With that shoot. You

77
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: have one, maybe two suits that you get to shoot in,

78
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: and it's a much shorter trip, so you have to

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot more pressure to get a shot in

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: at your allotted time to shoot because there's not a

81
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: lot of time that you get to spend there and

82
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: coming here. We have an extended kind of an extended vacation.

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: It's nearly two weeks and we have, you know, each

84
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: girl brought around twenty swimsuits with her that she might

85
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: shoot in. So it's it's a lot bigger here. It's

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: it's for sure a much bigger production. We have three

87
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: photographers rather than just one, and because it's an extended trip,

88
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: I feel like we get a lot more time to

89
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: bond with the team. I don't I'm not sure that

90
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: I know of there's any organization that takes the entire

91
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: returning squad, and that's probably one of the most incredible

92
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: aspects of this trip is that, you know, you come

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: as a team and we're all here to support each other,

94
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: and we have the pressure of auditions behind us, and

95
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: we're just here to relax, have fun and enjoy ourselves

96
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: and support one another. So it's for sure a really

97
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: really great experience getting to have the entire squad behind

98
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: you as you're posing for these shots that you know,

99
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: none of us really, I mean, have extensive modeling backgrounds,

100
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: So it's really nice to have the full support of

101
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: the entire squad here. And I can tell you guys

102
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: that there definitely is support. It's fun being on streets

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: with you guys and hearing each other. You guys cheer

104
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: each other on and be like, oh my god, you

105
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: look so beautiful or wow, look at you. What's that liked? Well?

106
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: Does it come natural? Do you feel like a pressure

107
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: to cheer everybody on? Or is it? Oh? No, we

108
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: just want to pump everybody up because it feels good,

109
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, being whenever it's your turn out there and

110
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: you're like, oh God, is my hair okay? Is do

111
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: I look okay? What's going on? And so it's nice

112
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 1: to get that support from all your friends. Yeah, it's good.

113
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: I find that it's hard to control. Sometimes I just

114
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: comes out. Yeah, it just comes out. The other day,

115
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: Kaylin was shooting and we were Madeline and I were

116
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: just screaming for her because she just she looked like

117
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: a goddess. And it's it's rare that we get to

118
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: see each other in this sort of situation and to

119
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: see people do it so successfully, so effortlessly and so graciously.

120
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: It's just it's really really incredible, and it's hard to

121
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: contain my excitement when I see girls just living their

122
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: best life out there. So even cheerleaders and need cheerleaders,

123
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: sometimes it's right even like the hair and makeup crew,

124
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: and everybody's kind of cheering you on. So it's not

125
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: just us, it's everybody kind of on your sides. Everybody

126
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: wants you to succeed. They want to have the best

127
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: chance of getting in that calendar. And where are you

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: guys's heads at now? Knowing that in a few months

129
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: you could be in one of their what's that excitement level? Like?

130
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, well, you know, I just regardless if you

131
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: get in one, it's this this experience is just over

132
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: the top. So it's it's really really cool to just

133
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: be here. But of course, you know, you want to

134
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: see the finished product, so getting to see that Star

135
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: magazine and all the different series of calendars out there

136
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: is going to be really really cool. And the anticipation

137
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: is what's yes, Yes, we're always just looking forward to that. Yeah.

138
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: I remember last year as a rookie when everything got revealed.

139
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: I just remember the support that all the veterans had

140
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: for one another as the shots would come and nobody

141
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: was really expecting how amazing it truly was and how

142
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: incredible all the shots really came out. So it was

143
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: really cool to see the veterans just hype each other

144
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: up and gets so excited just to see each other.

145
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: You see the final product from everyone. So I'm just

146
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: really excited no matter what. I first of all, I'm

147
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: grateful to be here. I'm grateful to be cheering on

148
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: another team. Like Jessica said, this is the cherry on

149
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: top for us. So, um, what yeah, So I'm losing

150
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: my No, you're good, You're good. I get it. The

151
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: excitement is there. The excitement is there, for sure. It's real.

152
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: So now there are times winding down and you've had

153
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: maybe a few minutes to reflect. Have you had a

154
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: favorite part of this trip yet? Well, I think just

155
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: like like just for example, last night, we were all

156
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: just kind of in one room, all piled and just

157
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: playing games and just kind of bonding with each other,

158
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: and you know, that's that's what's fun is you know,

159
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: being here together and getting to kind of laugh and

160
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: joke around and and just just make light of everything.

161
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of fun. But as you know,

162
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: of course, all the all the photo shoots have been amazing.

163
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: That's been that's been such an experience in itself, but

164
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, getting to experience with all your friends can't

165
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: beat it. Can't beat it. Do you have something in

166
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: mine that stands out? Yeah, I mean it's pretty much

167
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: the same thing. Um, I wasn't there last night, but

168
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, it was a few nights ago. Everybody was

169
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: just hanging out in one of the rooms after dinner

170
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: and there was the full squad, all twenty one of

171
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: us just chilling in a one bedroom. Absolutely, but we

172
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: had We had such a blast and you really learned

173
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: things about one another that you you know, it's crazy.

174
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: We spend so much time together during season and during

175
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: training camp, but we learned so many new things about

176
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: each other here as well. Because that practice we're like,

177
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, and then we'll get in trouble for like

178
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: kind of goofing off the whole time. So this is

179
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: fun we have. Yeah, we have some goof off time. Okay.

180
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: One final, it's two part question. Take a second to

181
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: think about it if you need to. In one word,

182
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: I need you to describe the mini and then in

183
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: one word describe your twenty nineteen calendar experience. Oh goodness,

184
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: it could take a second. I'm really bad with stuff

185
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: like this. I can't pick favorites. Well, you have to

186
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: one word describe bimony to describe Bimony and one word

187
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: to describe your calendar shoot experience. Well, the first thing

188
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: that comes to mind for Bimony is just blissful, Lisa,

189
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: And it's beautiful, so beautiful. Even with the right you know,

190
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: it's still just a gorgeous, gorgeous island and beautius basically.

191
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: And then okay, what was the second part. One word

192
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: to describe your calendar experience this year? I got it ready, Okay,

193
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: super califragilistic, expialidocio. Can you spell that? Please? No man?

194
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: And how does that explain your calendar experience? I mean,

195
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: I it's really hard to put into words how appreciative

196
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: and how appreciative I am, and how incredible this really is.

197
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: I feel like you have to experience it to really

198
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: understand it, because even last you're hearing stories about it,

199
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: they can't even measure up to what it really is.

200
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: So for me, it's you know, I feel like I

201
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: had to I had to pick a word, so I

202
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: think the most extravagant word there, absolutely, because that's really

203
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: what this experience is. It's extravagant and it's just um,

204
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: it's nothing I could have ever dreamed up. Do you

205
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: have one for biminy. Okay, I don't know, Courtney, Oh

206
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: my gosh, too hard on the spot. It is still

207
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: kind of early, and it's the last day. Our brains

208
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: are getting fried. Do you have one? If not, we

209
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,920

212
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: words here, friends, words. There aren't great words in the

213
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: English language for how great biminy is, how great this

214
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: experience is. And we're gonna try and limit up one

215
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: last day here. The sun is shining. One last day

216
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,640
