Gag me.  Do people actually fork over their hard-earned money for this drivel?

I would say that I'm surprised to see Kelli whoring herself out like this, but not in the slightest.

When your director becomes more concerned with her own “celebrity” than what is best for the organization, it’s time to find a new director.

That’s right.

I miss Miranda on the team. She is a kind person who wanted to do everyone right, always trying to meet everyone’s expectations. Is that so bad?

Also, I have never seen someone master the art of crying and laughing at the same time, that well.

I am #TeamMiranda

Everything I've heard about Miranda is that she's a lovely person.

Kats no longer friends with Amanda and Kelsey !! That’s what I think 

Yes. That’s what “the latter” was referring to.

Kat's no longer friends with VK, or Kat's no longer friends with Amanda and Kelcey?

 

The latter.

I wish I knew too. But I don’t get the impression Kat and VK are close. Kat was friends with Amanda and Kelsey. 

Yeah . . . they are no longer friends.

This is disgusting, basically you have an entitled bratty, airhead doing whatever she wants at the expense of an intelligent, well spoken & all around excellent persona of what we have been told a "DCC" role model should be.   

Exactly.  Brennan thought she was showing leadership in addressing the situation (which she was), and look what it got her.  This organization is a joke.

Amy being point at any point is so baffling to me. She's one of the most boring looking cheerleaders they've ever had. Is she super charismatic in person or something? Is she a really good dancer? I haven't seen too much of that since she was never really featured on the show

I liked Amy, but she was a classic "blender."  And I hate to use that term because I think TPTB use it to mean "we're cutting you, but we don't have a good reason why."

Never mind 

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

A few things:

1) Regarding Taylor only having to audition on the one day, a lot of the girls are unhappy that she got this special privilege.  Btw, Taylor is good friends with Sam. Hmm.

2) Most of the girls think Kristin is quite strange.  She's not really close with anyone.  Just a very odd duck.

3) The more I think about Cassie's statement, the thing that surprises me most is that she admitted they had someone test positive.  I thought for sure they would all deny that until the grave. 

4) My God, this whole enterprise has truly become a shit show.  They should use this as a case study in MBA programs as a textbook example of piss-poor management.

She simply answered a question she got, nothing more 🤭

Well, she lied.  To me that qualifies as "more."

"I’ve been wanting to speak on it, but I didn’t think anyone cared about my opinion haha."

Well, she's at least right about that part.

Exactly. She can’t move on. The only thing she has done is become a stage mom to her daughter and pushing her to be a DCC. She has nothing else going on ! 

Maybe by the time her daughter is old enough, someone with some integrity will be in charge of the DCC — someone who refuses to use the team as a platform for glorifying the untalented daughters of friends and family.

This may be an unpopular opinion but Cassie seems to have struggled moving on from DCC. Her profile pic is still her in uniform. Didn’t she retire in 2012? 

What else is she qualified to do? 

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

Cassie is a piece of shit. I don’t trust a word that comes out of her no-lip mouth.

Definitely not the end of the world. It’s Kelli’s group, a group of dancers she has to show to people how great she is. 

Despite what Kelli says, being in Showgroup has zero to do with dance ability.

Truth. In the past, she has overruled the decisions of those she brings in to judge SG auditions. 

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

They seem super interested in making the overall squad more diverse this year (once they learned the girls would not be allowed on the field) but apparently didn’t think those same girls were worthy of SG. Very telling.

I never knew any of this.  How exactly was she a Miss America contestant?

I think such views are relatively common among the pageant community -- especially the girls who are willing to go through all the years of pageants that's typically necessary to make it to the Miss America level.

This isn't going to be a popular opinion but, I kind of feel bad for her. Could you imagine if no one in your life thought you should amount to more than shaking your half bare a$$ in front of football fans?  It's rather sad to me. 

I would love to see VK, once she's done being a DCC, move to a big city and just live on her own for at least a year.  I think a lot of the negative qualities we perceive in her are a result of leading a sheltered life in which she's constantly praised for things that, objectively, aren't that good/important.  I doubt she really knows who she is.

I just wonder how attractive being a DCC will be to VK(and her mother) if the show gets canceled, or put on indefinite hold, due to COVID.

 

I thought that too, but at the same time, what else is she really qualified/educated to do?  I often feel like her whole life has been lived with the goal of being a DCC.

Victoria commented on Meredith's post 3 hours ago.

I figured she would once called out on here.  I heard VK was pretty massively jealous of the praise Meredith regularly got for her looks.

Unfortunately, if it's attention and publicity that Kelli and Judy hoped for by their recent cuts, they're getting it. We're all here talking about it. I know forums don't translate to TV ratings, but they did, in a way, achieve what they were hoping for. 

This is exactly right. Both Kelli and CMT saw this shaping up to be a boring season, and that is why they decided to cut some vets. They know full well that vet cuts are typically the most memorable parts of a season and thus they manufactured these. It’s really disgusting but it fully shows the lengths these people will go to produce a reality show  They don’t even consider the human cost of these decisions. 

Btw, has anyone else noticed that VK didn’t comment on Meredith’s post? Hmmm.

I think they remember how good food tastes and decided not to have to go back to a water and diet pill diet! 

 

That's definitely part of it.  

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

I think a lot of vets get cut and think, "I'll just re-audition next year!"  But they then get some distance from things and slowly begin to realize how much happier they are without that constant bullshit and drama in their lives, and they ultimately decide they're better off.  In other words, I think the relatively small number of vets who re-audition after being cut tells us something about that work environment.
