JUST DON'T HIT ON THEM Hitmen cheerleaders will high five a fan, but that's it

Are you louder than the other women?
We're not loud like obnoxious. I just think we really want our team to win because we've lost the last two games.

Is it a bummer to cheer for losers?
Of course it's a bummer -- it's hard to cheer when they're losing, but that's your job. You can't turn around and say, ''Oh, they suck.''

What's the deal with going into the stands?
We go in with a lot of security around us. The crowd's been really good -- they just want to slap you high five.

How far are you supposed to go with fans, and when are you supposed to stop?
It's about using your best judgment. I'll slap you high five, but I won't sit on your lap. We're not allowed to take pictures with the fans -- they can take a picture of us -- but otherwise, it goes to them putting their arms around us. There's no kissing or hugging. Sometimes a fan will say, ''Can't you just give me a kiss on the cheek?'' I don't say, ''No, you can't do that, it's in my contract,'' but I'll say, ''Uh uh uh,'' or something cute.

What's up with being allowed to date the players?
I think it's something Vince [McMahon] said that got out of hand. It's not in our contracts that we're NOT allowed to fraternize with other players, like other leagues. But the players are total gentlemen. If a girl ends up going out with them, who cares? People date each other in the workplace all the time. But there could be a marriage on the way and four kids for one of the girls and one of the players, so why stop that?

What do you expect from the future?
My contract's until the last game, which I think is April or May. My dream was always to go into on camera broadcasting, so I hope that with all the camera time I'm getting, someone will say, ''Hey, she's good on camera, let's hire her.'' But I can dance while I'm still young.

Is the XFL bad for kids?
No, I don't think it's detrimental in any way -- no more than Pokémon is. It's just a really fun sport, and we're not wearing anything less than you'd see on the beach. It's a little racy, it's a little sexy. What's wrong with that?
