And this, 1st comment. I imagine Kelli is blowing a fuse. The rose colored image Kelli has always fought to portray has been coming apart for years. It's been more about live in Kelli's out of touch, hypocritical, toxic world than it has been about dancing. While starving.

And now I need to mask up and hit the grocery store..

The 2nd comment. This really is all over social media. Good.

Regarding Hannahs Insta Post...Wonder if she got wind of them trying to use her supposed weight gain (if that's true) as a reason for her dismissal and wanted to set the record straight before the show aired?  If it's true and TPTB were going to use her weight, she just blew that up in their faces. Kelli must be chewing and spitting nails right now. Kelli, time for you to come into this century or retire.  And shame on you Kelli for putting lives at risk for a Damn TV show. There was so much opportunity to use and showcase the veterans in these extraordinary times. The dangers of Covid-19 are real and the fallout is causing many Americans unimaginable suffering. Maybe, instead of harping on candidates not utd on current events, Kelli should get to work there herself.

 Hannah’s post on Instagram. 

Hannah You Are True Class! I'm so proud of you for standing up for yourself and letting viewers (those that remain) know what is shown on TV is not reality. This is perfection! Now please, go do you. There's an incredible future waiting for you to start. Thank you Hannah. 👑

Not shooting the messenger here thanks for posting it, but weight gain seriously? Have we not seen videos of her on her IG she looked amazing but I guess the only one who deserves the respect to lose any extra weight if Victoria. If they use weight gain for the reason I better see a double chin & a honey boo boo belly!

"Weight Gain??" Hannah was released, "allegedly," for "weight gain?" From the same Kelli who called Brittney Schram into her office for weight gain a few seasons ago? Brittney Schram, who was too thin? The same Kelli who hired the idiotic dietitian who famously said, "soda's give you cellulite?" IF Hannah did gain weight, she would have taken it off ASAP. But training camp, this year, was what 3 weeks? Four? Not enough time Kelli, unless you want to finally admit you push starvation diets on these women to keep them dangerously thin. Proves, yet again, insiders were right, Hannah was released for TV show drama.

Oh what a ROLE MODEL Kat is! My goodness, what an accomplished, GRACEFUL young woman. 

Kat, hunny, fix your wig and suck it up.

Sorry Kat but if you're sleeping with a player after knowing the rules and signing a contract acknowledging those rules, you don't get to play victim for being called out. Especially, if you've been called out before for doing it and especially if that player has a girlfriend. That's just trashy. Not a victim, a volunteer...🤷‍♀️

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

Still ranting. Kelli had 2 ambassadors dealing with this country's current issues. Brennan who survived Covid-19 twice and could talk about it and the need to practice safety and Hanna, who talked openly of battling depression. Depression, something millions of Americans are experiencing at this very moment, due to the virus, inc and esp young women. But lets release them and bring on the same cookie cutter, "let me show you how I do my makeup," women? Are you Fking kidding me? It's not like the DCC were going to be able to perform anyway. With all the recent sports events being shut down, it was pretty easy to see there wasn't going to be the typical DCC season. Thus the need for great, sincere, relevant ambassadors. Especially those that have experienced what almost all of this country is experiencing. WTF Kelly? Thank you for again proving to me I made the right decision not watching the show. 

And what is this shit about a turtleneck? If that's true, who would want to be part of an organization that thinks they should have that much power over them?

Brennan is so classy. It definitely doesn’t seem like the decision to leave was mutual🥺

I love that Brennan stood up for herself by saying, "It's not ideal. I don't agree." That takes courage bc we usually get the standard, "God has other plans. They'll have a great season," posts. 

You Go Brennan! You're An Inspiration And Too Good For Them. Stay Healthy And Focus On You..

Kelli, Judy, and the Cryptkeeper can all go straight to hell in a hand basket with gasoline drawers on. I can understand Meredith and Lily but Brennan and Hannah? BRENNAN AND HANNAH? All to keep a dancer who falls out of her turns, lied about a medical condition AND lied about one of the most notable and sweetest vets, gained 10+ pounds in a few weeks, threw a goddamn temper tantrum because she didn’t make SG, and is notoriously a mean girl?? And y’all know I love me some Kat but to go on another team and fraternize when you got kicked off your previous team for the same bullshit, and KJC not kick her off?? Are you kidding me??

This organization, or actually, this SHIT SHOW, has become a joke. An utter joke. When you begin to care more about ratings and your own personal relationship with your dancers vs what actually makes a great team, it’s time for you to go. And it’s been time for the 3 blind mice to go. I’ve lost whatever little respect I had left for K&J at this point.

Hannah will flourish wherever she goes. She is talented, beautiful, sweet as sugar. This is just one door closing for her that will open a plethora of other doors that will offer her the opportunities of a lifetime.

Brennan, my sweet Brennan, she deserves more than this. BETTER than this. She worked so hard to be on this shit show of a team, only to be met with scraps from a director still trying to live out her glory days, a frog on a goddamn log, and an expired bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch. 
 

I wish all four ladies the best post-DCC. And as far as it goes, I will not be watching this season just like I didn’t watch last season. KJC and The Kalinas AND Miss Kat can all shove it.

 

I Love LOVE All Of This!!!! ❤👏👏👏

Dayton was cut just because they were hell-bent on taking VK (and would have had she not gained 10+ pounds in just a few weeks) and they wanted to make it look like they didn't play favorites (i.e., "yes, we took Kelli's best friend's daughter (whose technique is laughable) but we cut Shelley's gorgeous, talented daughter, so obviously we're super fair!" 

I absolutely believe this. After Dayton was let go from TC there were a few posts about her having memory issues. Except we've seen TPTB take other girls with serious memory problems. Dayton got screwed but she's much, much better off than living in the toxic dump DCC has become.

I get what she's saying, and I don't blame her, but I don't understand this reasoning. It's TPTB who facilitate this show. Were it not for them, there wouldn't be a show.  My heart ached for Dayton, who was put up against Seabiscuit for compare and contrast (as was Meredith) and was a casualty of Kelli and Tina.

I feel like the show is but a symptom of the culture in that organization.

"Seabiscuit" 😂😂😂😂 

Agree. I Loved Dayton. She's better off. Way better off. 

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

This is why I won't watch the show anymore and I was a faithful viewer from the very first show. I stopped when Kelly made all the excuses for V and her heavy, sluggish, thick dancing. I can't even watch an entire video she posts. Hannah's left me wanting more. 

I do understand Meredith and Lily. (I watched snippets on Insta & YouTube) but Brennan & HANNAH? Hannah is a superstar. I always noticed her when she danced. She's a lovely dancer. I doubt it was for weight. One of her more recent Insta posts, she has abs I'd give my left arm for. She has an amazing figure and came across as genuine and hardworking. I think she's strikingly beautiful. She deserves so much better. Hannah if you ever read this, go do you. Forget these hypocritical, mean girl women. There's a whole world out here and it's your oyster. Screw them and their mind games. You Got This. 

As for Kat? IF she is sleeping with a player, WTF Kelly? And that the player has a girlfriend, as per a insider post?  Can we talk about THAT? That's slimey for lack of a better word, and I have a few.  And I like(d) Kat. Her Insta posts seem over the top but she has personality. If she was let go from a previous squad for hooking up with a player, I'm thinking it is. So much for the "girl next door" reputation Kelly keeps blathering on about. Try 'Homewrecker' instead. 

And Lisa? She made it back? She doesn't even look like a DCC. Maybe it's the bad tanning but she always looks like she just came from a tractor pull. Not saying tractor pulls are bad, but she always looks like she's covered in a layer of dust and grime. 

I'm not going to say much about Brennan except I agree with most everyone here. However, it may be for the best if she had the virus. They're finding blood clots in survivors. I have a friend who had two. Thankfully they got caught up in his spleen before something terrible happened. 

The DCC are NOT worth dying for. Brennan your health is more important than the extremely toxic, life consuming, delusional DCC. 

Considering Bridget's post, I'm thinking the insider info here is on point. I get why she left. I know I'd last a hot NY minute if I had to starve, put up with undeniable favoritism and the "Yes Mamm's." Kelly has trashed her's and the DCC reputation. If Hannahs cut was for drama? What kind of person, what woman would do that to a young woman? For a TV show? Who hurt you Kelly? (sarcasm) 

Long post. Sorry. Started typing and couldn't stop.

Well, I have confirmed that the story about VK and the phone case is true.  I'm no fan of VK, but even I thought her better than that.  The girls are very angry with her and with Kelli for not doing anything about it, but of course, they all have to act like they LOVE VK so as to not have their positions on the team put in jeopardy.  

WTH Kelli? Every training camp the, "is she a team player?" has just been high kicked out the door. The, "is she toxic?" All of that has been bull. That's what angers me, a long time viewer. I didn't watch this last season bc I wouldn't watch the, let's rehab Victoria's rep show. If you're going to show blatant favoritism then at least own it. Stop insulting my intelligence and long time viewership trying to make the new, improved Victoria happen. Very few can change that much in one year. And she had a lot of changing to do. Learning how to be humble would have been a great starting point. If I were any of the other girl's, I'd leave at the end of the season. No one needs this much toxicity in their lives. Plus the intense pressures to stay rail thin, the "yes mam's," and the rigid rules? 

Adding, Vic's 11lb weight gain in TC from 2 seasons ago? Sure other veterans have returned with additional weight, one was released from camp, others given time to take it off. They were veterans, not TC's. Any TC would have been cut a lot sooner than Victoria was. And no, I don't think she should have made SG. She still had to prove herself, maturity wise and Kelli does hold a grudge. I've seen it, many times in previous season's. She would have held that grudge towards any other TC candidate. Kelli has ruined her reputation, with me, by all of this. I'm just one viewer but can't make fetch happen with me.

We viewers have watched for years as Kelli has spouted about standards, excellence, “world-class” etc. to justify being intolerant - seemingly mean and unreasonable on occasion - in the name of what’s best for the brand.  So I completely understand why watching this colossal shift with the handling of VK gets a lot of people fired up.  But truthfully, this hypocrisy is nothing new.  Judy's position greased the wheels for her daughter to push plenty of boundaries without seemingly having any of the consequences that any non-insider would have had.  And Charlotte only has any significance in this world because her daddy owns a damn football team?!  So I guess it really shouldn’t surprise any of us that Kelli would use her position to benefit her best friend’s daughter (who she genuinely seems to adore), and that the other two would never call her on it.  

For me only, it isn't only the nepotism. It's that TPTB actually expected me to buy the Bull S*** they were selling. That VK was this amazing dancer, the greatest ever as per Kitty who deserved chance after chance despite committing DCC violations that would have gotten any other TCC axed and barred. They threw years of credibility to the curb for a bff daughter. Stop treating me as though I'm stupid. At least own this crap. After years of being a loyal viewer, of turning on the Dallas Cowboy games to glimpse the cheerleaders, they insult me with last years VK drama and making one excuse after the other for her. They would have been better off if they'd owned their favoritism from the start. But this is the same lie they attempted to force feed me last year. Tbh, I'm absolutely disgusted, more, much more w/Kelli, Judy, Kitty and Charlotte than Victoria. I don't care if she has gotten better. The only reason she was given a 2nd chance is bc her mother is TK. I would fully expect there to be a Kelli talking head about how Victoria has grown, tough year, come back stronger, we'll see where she falls, what the other judges think, right before deliberations. Maybe after being handed training camp Kelli calls her into the office to make a show about being tough on VK.  When in effect it means zero, she's already on the team. I have such a difficult time understanding that Kelli, a woman who's entire life is the DCC, the DCC is her baby would jeopardize her reputation and the reputation of the DCC for her friend. Kitty is actually a bit more of a suprise. Her fawning over VK was eye opening and gross. She would never have done that for any other TCC candidate. 

TPTB need to stop, just stop insulting their viewers with this Bull Crap. 

[2019 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp Spoilers]

Hi. Not a new person I joined a couple of yrs ago. Commented a lot back then but haven't these last few yrs. All of you were saying everything I felt and feel today. Came back for a couple of reasons. One, bc I've read TPTB do read this site and they need to know they lost a fan. I was done last year, watching the VK show and Kitty. I admit, until last year, I loved Kitty. She seemed to really care about the team but watching her fawn over VK was eye opening. And when she complained about vet's but VK just needed more time? In the past, if it were anyone else, Kitty would have said, "cut her, be done with it." Not Victoria though and that tells me everything I need to know about who Kitty really is. What pissed me off with V tho was her disrespect towards Jinelle. Jinelle, who ate clean and healthy all her adult life, even in a foreign country full of fast food restaurants and yummy, fattening snacks. That can't have been easy but she made eating healthy a priority. I'd have killed for help from her and Victoria had to be reminded to apologize for being a spoiled brat and lying? Anyone else, Kelli would have high kicked to the door. I'm sick of it. I always thought there has to be some favoritism but never this extreme, hypocritical and obvious. It's insulting to those of us who have watched the show since it first aired. I can't imagine what V is going to do if she did cause such toxicity last year. When she makes the team she is going to be spending A LOT of time with these women, her teammates. Who's going to want to hang around her? Many of these women form lifelong friendships. And ftr, I too wish Victoria had taken another year, gone to college, lived. But Tina wasn't having it. Her daughter is going to be a DCC! 

That being said, Victoria has lost weight. I can see it. I hope for her sake she did it in a healthy way. I don't see how tho, she going to keep it off. But, Kelli will make an exception for her. 

This show has really gone downhill. There used to be a realness to it. I felt for the women trying out, routed for them. Now it's the same regurgitation year after year. And it's so commercialized (looking at you, Charlotte) it's really annoying. Plus ads every 10 minutes..

I do hope Ashley Hancock makes it. She'd bring a glamour to the team that's been sorely lacking. And Meredith and Kat, the same. 

I'm not going to be watching the show this year. I will come here to get updates and news. I'm ditching cable and I'm not paying for the episodes. If it were 4 or 5 years ago, I would but based on the last 2 years, no. 

Thanks for all the updates. ❤ I love them! My guilty pleasure. I'm going to go beg Big Sky Girl for a pm as well. 😂

Regarding the diff between Jenna dating a player & Holly doing the same. When, if confronted Jenna may have come clean. Holly chose to start off by lying. See Judys reaction. Also we don't know that Holly was fired. It appeared, from the show, Kelli wanted to give Holly one more tiny chance, "shaved thin ice." From the info on this forum Holly sent a rather nasty letter and chose to quit. Rather than take the punishment. In which case, that's her choice. 

[2017 Tryouts and Training Camp: Candidates Included]

Lurker. Want to say, I love reading this forum. I agree with so many posts. My thoughts on Holly. Oh well. She made a choice and she lied directly to their faces. It wasn't until she was pressured that she 'kinda' admitted the truth. News for Holly, there's lying by omission. It's a real thing. Did anyone else catch, when Kelli was asking her about fraternizing w/player's Holly said, "I'm not with" and stopped herself? Kelli winced. That's all the info Kelli needs. This is Kellis baby as much as her 2 kid's. She built the cheerleaders into what they are today and there is 0 way she will let any cheerleader, regardless of how good a dancer, blemish her brand. No matter how ridiculous some may think the standards. Don't like the rules, don't try out. Kelli has given a huge part of her life into making the cheerleaders what they are today. It's her life and she sets the rules. Besides, an obviously well known cheerleader and a star player would be hard to miss. It set's a bad example for rookies and I'm sure the locker room talk was cringe worthy. Is Holly young, yes. It's a tough lesson to learn. She may have seen Jenna do the same and barely get in trouble. Someone commented on an Instagram post, it had been going on for a while. It wasn't ever a secret. As for lying, I abhor lying to my face. Now, not only are 'you' lying but 'you' think I'm stupid enough to believe it. Double whammy. Regarding Jenna, I'm over her. As a 6 year vet she should have alluded to Kelli there was a problem. At the very least she should have cut ties with Holly. I suspect Jenna loved the attention from hanging around with players. She does seem to need a lot of attention. Finally this may get me in a bit of hot water but I have no problem with Erica being dismissed. She knowingly broke the rules, who knows what she told Kelli when confronted. I get a bitchy vibe from her. 

 

Thanks, Lurker Out
