After assessing the contestants and rating them on their beauty, figure, dancing skills and charm, the panel once more narrowed the group in half, leaving only 150 women to proceed to the next round.
Several unsuccessful entries from the first edition of

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team 2 airs Fridays at 8pm on CMT.
