This chart is very telling lol. (From Reddit).
What does this chart tell me?
- The reports about Armani must be true
What this chart doesn't tell me:
- That there will be a massive exodus due to the events that transpired last TC, eventhough all 3rd year vets are on a 'No info' status. It is just too early to tell, imho
What does it tell you?

I've heard through the fabulous DCC grapevine that one of the 2020 rookies is toxic in the locker room. Not gonna say who though. 🤭
I am willing to bet it is Alora-Rose. Or Sydney as a close second.

Tell me about this. Ive seen a ton of Marissa love all over social media. Saw someone say it was all family over on reddit and then someone from NC countered that it wasn't family and that in fact MARISSA IS GREAT!!!!!!! I'm sure she is. But why is the push necessary? She's talented all on her own and doesn't seem to need to be shoved? What's going on?
The push is not necessary when you look at her dancing and her energy.
But if you look at her looks, and I say this not to be cruel or anything, it is fairly obvious that she is in quite of a competitive group of pretty faces and that she is out of her depth. Who wouldn't with Kat, Savvy, Rachel, Dani and Amanda? From this perspective she needs the push.

I have a short torso and personally, I prefer the look over an elongated one. It makes the legs look long.
Beauty is ofcourse in the eye of the beholder and there many different standards, but if we are talking models (who are a sort of a standard in a certain way), a shorter torso IS preferred.

Hi!!! So you were probably laughing as hard as I was when Kelli and Judy tried to pronounce Puyallup in the first episode.
The scene with K&J asking Dani how to pronounce Puyallup was epic. It was a great intro for Dani and she really shined! From that scene on, I am a on #TeamDani!
Glamour is her middle name.

Tori really should! She should have made it over Alora-Rose, probably Sydney, and sad to say maybe even Jada.
The fact of the matter is that not a lot of past or current cheerleaders could have made the team over:
- Armani Latimer
- Claire Wolford
- Dani McGinnis
- Darian Lassiter
- Elli DiGiovanni
- McKenzie Sherman
These girls are all point material.
I would have chosen Ashlinn and Tori over Alora-Rose and Sydney all day long. I don't dislike Alora and Sydney, but they were not the strongest of the rookies. However, they would have made the team over so many past cheerleaders, like pro-bowl Amy, Team USA Kat etc.
I hope that Ashlinn and Tori re-audition!

What the hell have they done to Tess' chest?
In this case the personal pronoun is 'she'.
What the hell has she done to her own chest.
Back in 1920 when Tess joined the squad and East Texas Kelli had an 'one on one' with her during the uniform fittings, Kelli asked what she always asks and Tess confirmed it was a purchased enhancement (I am paraphrasing).
My question is
What the hell have they done to Armani's hair?
The one who parted her hair so severely should be punished with 2 days without internet.

Her hair is combed and parted the right way, her smile is just right, the space between her eyes is not too much, everything is just right. It has to be said, Marissa looks like a DCC on this photo. What a great photographer!

@Pau84 is that your bid list for retirement? If so, I have to agree with it. Some of them need to go, some probably want to move on. I feel like there is always a dark horse or unexpected retirement too...like Bridget.
That is my ‘likely-to-retire’-list.
Who would be this year’s dark horse?

Of all the random things for CMT to cut, I thought this footage of Taylor’s one day audition was interesting! Probably would have made the show if it was more than one vet doing it. Brennan and Hannah were trying to be team players, I suppose, I suppose, but I wonder if their outcome would have been different if they had gone that route. Tho as a student, Hannah might not be have been able to justify to TPTB? Not sure what hoops they had to jump through.

Also, if you were employed/ contracted and were unfairly treated/ dismissed, would you stay quiet because it's the "professional" thing to do. F*CK that! I'd be very vocal about what has gone down to shine a spotlight on the bullshit treatment and to warn others. Sure, life isn't fair, but if I can call someone out for bullshit treatment, i will. Screw professionalism, I'm standing up for myself!!!
You are right. Professionalism cuts both ways.
Using the word professionalism in the DCC setting is laughable if you look at all the unprofessional and irrational decisions we all have seen through the years. Everything is up to Kelli and her emotions (and self image).
- Girl 1 gets praise for A
- Girl 2 gets cut for A
In case of Brennan and Hannah I would like to point out that these two combined auditioned almost 8 times before joining the team. This should mean something. If you are unsure about a candidate, just don't do it. Some girls do not need to audition multiple times, these are the girls that you should go for. The only reason someone should be allowed to audition a second time should be dancing, not a combination of several issues.
Kelli's emotion and self image made her have girls on the team that were just a great DCC candidate away from cutting. That is what Hannah and Brennan and a lot of other girls are (were). I think that the Showgroup treatment of girls is the pinnacle of unprofessionalism. If Jalyn did something to get kicked out of SG (it is definitely not her dancing), then kick her out of the team. Why have a need for Showgroup auditions in the first place? Just have 3rd year girls and above serve on Showgroup. If you do not let your emotions get in the way of who is on the squad you can do this. If you do let all of your emotional bagage and hangups get in the way (hello Kelli McGonagill from East Texas) everyone and everything is an exception.
Who would have thought that Hannah would keep quiet about being cut? Not me.

That looks very Vegas. What is an Ultra Angel? She has a great bod!
Ultra is an EDM festival where several DJ's play at multiple stages.
Ultra Angels are basically dancers who perform during the festival with extravagant clothing, not unlike the DCC outfits. So no need for pearl-clutching from Kelli and Judy (or anybody else for that matter). Ultra is one of the top EDM festivals in the world, you could actually call it world-class!

If they're calling BLM a controversial political agenda I suggest looking at a calendar. It's 2021, not 1956.
That was my first thought!
However, I do not want to be too political over here but Kristin (whom I always rooted for) actually ventured into new merky waters by using the song of a man who claimed that Harriet Tubman "never actually freed the slaves" to support BLM!

She made the team in the end, and it's not a Jalyn situation where she made SG her first year and it would have been a big deal for her to not make it this year, so why in the hell would they put so much effort into editing her solo and showing the bad remarks? Kat, great, she's been working a redemption arc. Meredith gets cut, makes sense they show her solo. Claire and Marissa make SG as rookies, so show a lot of them. But there are some vets that made SG that weren't shown the entire freaking episode (especially Erin making it for the first time!), and yet they show a large portion of Kristin's solo with horrible editing? It serves absolutely no purpose aside from making K&C and CMT look like idiots and embarrassing Kristin. Have a reason for what you're putting out there.
What is also making K&C and CMT look like idiots is editing 'no rookie candidate wants to be dancing next to Victoria' and 40 seconds later 'Jada kicks to her face and the vets didn't match it'.
Well, Jada has no problem dancing next to Victoria because she is in the same group.
Here is a list of more rookie candidates who don't mind dancing next to Victoria
- Claire
- Armani
- Dani
- Darian
- Elli
- Marissa
- McKenzie
- Tori

Can Maddie do anything else? Isn't this the 3rd year in a row that her solo has been the same...right down to her look! 🥱 😴
.jpeg.2969136746f7bc7d74b04dfed21f6cb4.jpeg)
Eventhough DCC's own Shirley Temple has a heart of gold and is kind to everyone (and kindness is all that matters), I never thought of Maddie as an archetypical Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. She never had the look or the charisma. Yes, she is a sufficient good dancer. But is this enough? Discussing whether this is actually enough and discussing Maddie is in a way discussing and defining what a DCC should be.
After her initial cut, Maddie became a poster child for the comeback girl, for someone who had changed herself into a stand out dancer and who's determination and character changed her into someone who belonged on the squad.
This was Maddie's narrative arc and the first years it worked like a charm. But after 5 years it is wearing a little thin. Why hasn't her determination and character changed her into something new again? Why hasn't Maddie evolved beyond the 'hip hop' solo? A missed opportunity.

I really can't figure out what they were hoping to achieve by featuring negative criticism about Kristin's solo. Did they not consider the ramifications of editing and harping on it specifically? Kristin is on the team - they don't have to build a story for her. So the big question - did Kelli and Charlotte know this was the direction MTT took?
So true.
Yes, Kelli and Charlotte know this was the direction MTT is taking since they are executive producers. This makes it even more crazy. Kelli and Charlotte took a no win scenario when they could have easily just bunny-hopped over this hot potato. Another bad decision.
1 hour ago, BossKeyBlessed said:I’m sure this will be unpopular but Kristin’s solo she posted is horrible. Just because someone WANTS to speak out against social justice (And most of us do!) and chooses a particular “song” to play, does not make a dance performance good. Kudos to Kristin for what she tried to do… some of her dance moves were good. But no one can say that she did the song justice. The judges reaction on the show was live and immediate after they saw it with the correct music. No conspiracies to taint Kristin...It just wasn’t good. This is supposed to be Show Group auditions, not a social justice performance art gathering. Also, like EVERY other dance on the show, they can’t use the actual music she used because of that artist’s licensing prohibiting them to do so, so CMT has to pick something else. What other music would you have chosen to go with such a strange solo??
I am on #TeamKirstin but I agree there is a clear distinction between speaking out on issues (which is good), the time and place one chooses to do so (which could be counterproductive) and the actual way how this speaking out is executed.
It should be very clear to Kristin that this performance just flew miles over Kelli's and Charlotte's head and as always when these two mental midgets don't understand something they disapprove of it.

Agree with your first point for sure.
Agree with your second point but...
I'm not entirely sure we can all say that Hannah was experiencing a problem with her mental health though? Yes, she has a history of anxiety and depression and yes she cried and said she was stressed. But that's not enough really to diagnose someone. Our glimpse into Hannah's reality is so miniscule.
And I still believe, that its very possible that she was stressed mostly because of her frustration with DCC's COVID policies. She said even on the part that aired - "life perspective switch." So she might have been there realizing - "what the heck am I doing here?"
Being sad about the environment you are in and about the difficulties you face does not automatically equal mental problems.
And we have NO idea of what else was said prior to that office visit. We really have no idea what was said during that office visit either. Editing is powerful.
I agree with you. The real question that determines everything is whether Hannah was having mental issues.
The key sentences is Hannah’s ‘life perspective switch’. When and why would someone say ‘life perspective switch’? That is not a very common thing to say.
Why would someone cry every day about a life perspective switch? Hannah said that she cried every day during her office visit. A life perspective switch can also be a positive switch, finding Jesus, being saved (which is positive).
I guess we will need to see and hear more about this.

That's not Kelli's job though. Her job is to field the best 36 girls from the try outs and training camp. Hannah showed up to work mentally unprepared. When you do that, there's always someone who is hungry enough to take your spot. That's real life. It's not Kelli's job to be therir friend or their mother. She needs that emotional distance.*
When she asked Judy about whether veterans should be cut, I was screaming at my TV OF COURSE! Vets knew this was their tryout for the 2020 season. Vets aren't safe in try outs, and they shouldn't be here. This isn't about loyalty. They've never had a problem cutting vets who under performed before. Why should they now?
And to read Hannah's response, I'm not sorry they did cut her. I don't know how she can say the organization had no regard for their safety. They put them in a bubble for goodness sakes. If she felt it was unsafe, then she should not have gone.** I get that she was stressed out, but come on! It all came off as sour grapes to me.
I have two points:
First*
If Kelli would have been a good manager, she would have kept her emotional distance and would not have ventured into weird demented games with favorites. What are these games with favorites? Here is a random list:
- Morgan Jordan
- Cassie Trammell
- Meredith Madden
- Victoria Kalina
The way how Kelli behaved towards Victoria was and is a disgrace. When a girl that Kelli emotionally doesn't like makes an insignificant mistake, she gets cuts by Kelli. If Victoria falls out of a basic turn she laughs it off. That is NOT an emotional distance. So Kelli could have easily behaved unprofessional and be a friend to Hannah because she does it all the time. You don't get to choose when you behave 'professional' and when not.
Second**
One does not have to be a board certified psychiatrist to see that Hannah is coming into TC with mental issues. This said mental issue cannot be wished away or danced away or hugged away. It needs to be taken seriously, not only by Hannah, but by everyone around her. I do not think that someone with Hannah's past can just ignore the signs and venture into certain high stress activities without giving it a second thought. Should she have come to TC? I say no. Can someone with acute mental issues perform like they need her to perform is in this light an honest concern. Whether Hannah was cut because she voiced concerns about Covid is secondary. What should be considered is that Hannah voiced concerns about the Covid measures under the influence of a mental issue. Two years on the squad should have provided Hannah with enough cases to voice concerns about, yet she did not protest. I do not think it is right to cut someone for voicing concerns, and now we all can see with our own eyes and through Hannah's own voice that there is more at play than only voicing concerns.

Does Kat get the credit she deserves now? Her critics have been silenced, there's nothing to fault her on with her improved technique, she ticks all the boxes.
I am here, and I am giving Kat the credit she deserves! She is a star and has more charisma is her little pinky than most girls in their entire bodies. I do not have any qualms to put Kat in the point position, which would be, with the points we have had this past year, a breath of fresh air.
Kat started TC as the least prepared DCC in recent history and I for one, love that about her. She is not a judge or an astronaut, she is a cheerleaders for Pete's sake. She doesn't have to be a goody two-shoes. She only has to entertain us and shine bright like a diamond.
It only took a few days in TC for Kat to pick up the choreography and that is damn impressive. She got called out and that is what she needs to step up. That's a whole lot better than girls that prepare till the cows come home, and still can stand out.

I still can't figure out why they cut Tori and Ashlinn. I would have cut more veterans to have them on the team, and 'raise the bar' that has been lowered for years for unfathomable reasons. Both have the look and can dance.
My thoughts on Hannah are that she was cut for walking the tightrope of mental health too obviously and not for her dancing. Her cut dangerously defines the squad as to be uplifting for the spectators but not for the dancers, which is very harsh.

Well, my line of thinking was that if the reports on Armani are accurate, she would not want to audition again.
If the reports on Armani are false I would think that she would have joined the others in communicating that she would be auditioning again.
