Meredith just posted on Instagram. Doesn't sound like her cut was too controversial from what she's said.

Or she's hoping to re-audition . . .

Was training camp supposed to go longer but got cut short because of the positive test? and they decided to announce the team via Zoom early / make those Vet cuts all at the same time?

It did seem weird that they announced the team midweek when I thought training camp had a number of days left. Or maybe I was confused?

It was supposed to go longer, but only a day or so more remained.  But they shut it down with the positive test.

My problem with Rachel W is how unapologetically homophobic she is (she was quite disrespectful to Jinelle).

They never "officially" announced a team either did they?  Remind me again why TC was cut short? I'm glad I went ahead and cancelled my cable package that included CMT.  At least I can still watch the Pluto episodes with my Google account.

Someone in Tess’s group tested positive.

They weren’t cut, but they were all on weight warning. Even though their figures looked sexy as hell in the uniform and much better than the please-feed-her-a-sandwich look certain others have. They could’ve stayed for at least one more year if they weren’t forced to starve themselves to stay “dcc thin”

I heard that VK has never been on weight warning even though her weight fluctuates quite a bit.

I was rooting for Tori to make the team.  Watching that video makes me sad because Tori is very talented.  I also love watching Kashara dance.  I know Tori has several friends on the DCC and believe she would have been great.  So much better than anything I have seen from Marissa.  

Tori got on the wrong side of VK and Lisa.  That's all it takes.

Million dollar question (in my mind): why the hell did they keep Christina?  Talk about a blender (not to mention the entitled, diva attitude). I was told she would have been cut had Holly not quit, but that still doesn't explain why they kept her for multiple years.

I'm still super interested to see how things get spun this season.

What in the actual f&*k is this ?   What in the hell are we watching? 

Someone should seriously send this to those shows that feature ridiculous things on YouTube -- like Tosh 2.0.  It's so absurd, they'd totally run it!

I'm hoping Meagan's courage in coming forward to discuss the ill treatment she received at Kelli's hands will inspire other past DCC and TCC to come forward with their stories.  I understand why the current squad members are reluctant to come forward and support Hannah and Brennan as they (correctly) point out that training camp is now completely designed to create drama for a reality show that relatively few people have even heard of.  But there's no reason women from the past can't come forward and share their stories in solidarity.  I hope they do!

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

We should add the list the way Kelli kept openly calling out Colby for having had botox (before even asking her about it), which Colby denied in a way that I thought was super believable.  Kelli is truly a mean girl.

I am intrigued to see how CMT is going to edit several things this year. Including how several rookies made it. I personally still cannot believe they cut Brennan, Lily, and Hannah. Not a single rookie was worth cutting those three over. 

Yes, I doubt they want to show that someone tested positive, but I don't see how they can avoid it given that they suddenly had to shut things down -- how else can you explain that?  And, yes, I still cannot believe those three were cut over this rookie class either.

Wow DCC not having a good PR week 😂 Meagan Pravden has just released an interview on her body image trauma after Kelli made the infamous thut comment. Love her! https://www.dallasobserver.com/arts/meagan-pravden-reflects-on-body-shaming-from-cmts-dallas-cowboys-cheerleaders-making-the-team-11921926

Adding to the bad news, I can confirm that someone in "the bubble" did indeed test positive for COVID, forcing a shut down.  And that person was in Tess's group (her training camp group).  

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

The moment when I realized Kelli had completely sold out to the reality TV BS was when Kelsey finally made TC and Kelli called her into the office just to ask her about her previous flubs which were televised.  Kelli said things like "aren't you embarrassed?" and "I almost hate to ask you something for fear you'll say something dumb."  Those weren't her exact words, but it was clear to me the whole chat was to get some good sound bites for the show.  Barf.

Doing what?

I think the implication was dancing, but I guess she could play the horse if they were to do a revival of Equus.

The main thing I learned from this is that she "treasures" a whole lot of stuff and that she isn't very good at humble bragging. "What's really cool is that I'm featured a lot in this program which is kind of crazy to me because, um, I just feel very humbled by it."

That explains why she and VK get along so well. If you’ll recall, VK could be working on Broadway had she not elected to be a DCC. 😂

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

She annoyed a lot of girls at training camp by constantly bragging about her pageant wins and by being a huge suck-up to VK and Lisa. 
 

But given the social media campaign her patents undertook to get her on the team, I can’t help but feel a little sorry for her. They clearly aren’t very good parents and have likely fostered this entitled attitude.

Ugh, she is cringy. Honestly, I find attention whoreish behavior to be very unattractive

Yes, and I'm also cringing at the amount of powder she applies to contour that nose of hers.  She needs to find her a drag queen to give her some tips.

I only make it through the first minute of Marissa's video before I had to turn it off.  My poor neurons were becoming fried.

You didn't miss anything, the only thing it communicates is "I need lots and lots of attention" and "I apparently have not yet figured out that my boyfriend is gay."  Just my take.

Lisa also went somewhere that has a beach for a  weekend, and was in someone’s wedding 

Btw, Lisa was not a fan of Tori’s, and it would not surprise me if Lisa played a role in her elimination.

Man...this whole mean girls tribe of VK/Marissa/Lisa just makes me sad. Gimme back Erica/Cerstyn/Holly because at least they had the dance chops and looks to back it up! 

I think Kelli thinks the mean girls lead to greater drama for the show. So she keeps them around 

[2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

Here's something that I hope the current scandal brings to light: the girls were all required to quarantine prior to entering the bubble.  However, MANY of them did not, and they were very careful to not post anything on social media that would tip Kelli off that they weren't following the rules.  Lisa, however, brazenly shared on social media that she was teaching a dance class (which, btw, are pretty bad I've been told) shortly before entering the bubble.  That was a clear violation of the rules.  I wouldn't be surprised if they did eventually have an outbreak during TC.  Would love to see all this come out in the media.

VK and Lisa are very quick to comment on Marissa's posts. 

Marissa may not be pretty, but she's smart -- she knew the two girls she needed to suck up to if she wanted to make the team.
