Andrea

It was probably a fantasy to become a NFL cheerleader, so now that you’ve reached this, what’s your next fantasy or dream?

"My next dream is to pursue an onscreen acting career, as well as continuing to be a Registered Nurse. I have accomplished so many goals of mine through the Cincinnati Bengals organization, such as, participating in my first commercial with P&G, making the 2009-'10 Cincinnati BenGals Cheerleading calendar as Miss October 2009, and being asked to be in Maxim!"

What’s the best and worst thing about being a NFL cheerleader?

"I absolutely love being an NFL cheerleader, who wouldn’t? There are so many perks. I've been in a commercial, I'm Miss October 2009, and now I'm going to be in Maxim! This is only the beginning! I honestly can’t think of something that's not great about being an NFL cheerleader!"

What’s the craziest thing a dude’s ever done to hit on you? In or out of stadium?

"I was going to Blockbuster one day and was walking into the store and noticed a guy following me in. I didn’t think much of it, assuming he just wanted a movie just like I did, it is a Blockbuster! He followed me through the entire blockbuster and I started feeling as though he was watching me. I cashed out and he walked out right away empty handed. I walked to my car and he walked up to me and asked me, 'Are you going to watch that movie alone?' Creepy!"


Natalie

It was probably a fantasy to become a NFL cheerleader, so now that you’ve reached this, what’s your next fantasy or dream?

"My next dream is to get my Masters in psychology, and discover a specialty area of psych that I'm truly passionate about. Then I'd like to pursue my PhD. and teach at a University. I also hope to be a loving wife and mother."

Jock or Nerd. Which one would you really rather settle down with?

"Any truly smart man will care about fitness and nutrition, a healthy mind and healthy body. So the answer to this question is a little bit of both. After all, I believe there is a little nerd in all of us, right?"

What’s the nightlife for you? Stay in and relax, or it’s the weekend, bring back college?

"Usually on the weekends, I try to work a cheerleading charity event or do something affiliated with the Bengals. On a night off, I like to relax, maybe go to a Reds game or just hang out with my fantastic friends, and laugh till my sides hurt."


Rachel

It was probably a fantasy to become a NFL cheerleader, so now that you’ve reached this, what’s your next fantasy or dream?

"Becoming an NFL cheerleader was more of an accomplishment then it was a fantasy. I'm the type of person who feels that anything is possible with drive and dedication. In a perfect world, I would absolutely love to go on tour oversees and become the next Pro-Bowl Cheerleader representing our team this year."

What’s the best and worst thing about being a NFL cheerleader?

"The best thing about being an NFL cheerleader is being able to do what I love to do, which is dance. Dancing is my escape from a world that isn’t reality. Being on the field in front of thousands of people, dancing with all of my closest friends, is worth more to me then the time and effort put into it. The time commitment of being an NFL cheerleader is more than people know though. It gets difficult to juggle practice, games, events, and all of our “real” day to day jobs, but like I said; it’s completely worth it."

Male cheerleaders. Weird, right?

"I don't think male cheerleaders are weird at all. My sister used to cheer competitively with multiple males who were all very down to earth and fun to be around. What guy wouldn’t want to get buff hanging out lifting beautiful girls all day?"


Tara

It was probably a fantasy to become a NFL cheerleader, so now that you’ve reached this, what’s your next fantasy or dream?

"I would have to say, curing cancer!"

What’s the craziest thing a dude’s ever done to hit on you? In or out of stadium?

"One time while cheering, I got a hand written note from an opposing team’s football player (so funny, it was notebook paper folded just like in the 5th grade). He gave his number and told me he was impressed with my on and off the field talents. I will not say who it was but he got denied."

What’s the nightlife for you? Stay in and relax, or it’s the weekend, bring back college?

"Always unpredictable and lots of fun weather it be catching up on scientific literature or hanging with the girls, lets just say I am the life of the party!"


Teresha

It was probably a fantasy to become a NFL cheerleader, so now that you’ve reached this, what’s your next fantasy or dream?

"It would be a dream come true to be a choreographer for music videos/tours. Also, why not, an actress!"

What’s the best and worst thing about being a NFL cheerleader?

"Honestly, the best part is performing and I absolutely love the charity events. The worst would be the food you have to eat that allows you to perform! Sadly, it’s not pizza."

When you’re not dancing, where can people find you?

"Work of course! But besides that, they can find me taking dance classes. I love it! (or listening to my vinyl records, reenacting Michael Jackson dance moves...shhh. don't tell)."
