I imagine it will be heavily edited to show how fatigued Brennan was, due to TWO BOUTS of COVID. But they will try to spin it about how brave Brennan was, and she WAS, but TPTB just couldn't bring themselves to risk her health any further(even though we know that's a lie).

Oh yeah, I totally think that is what they are going to to do, but what I mean is that if they do this, then I don't see how they can not show Hannah's cut.

Agreed.  Someone said that her only reaction to the fan outrage over these cuts was to chuckle and say "they'll get over it."

Oh, I cannot wait for the day that Kelli gets knocked off her pedestal.

I noticed this picture taken in March when they received pinkie rings. 

This was Group 4 last year, what the hell happened in this group that this year there were 4 vet cuts and 2 vet retirees. 

I believe there are no such things as coincidences, this is pretty telling because who is the common denominator here, we have Seabiscuit & an untouchable 5th year spineless leader. I tell you the more that is coming out the more I believe these ladies are so much better off being out of this toxicity. Shame on you, Kelli, just shame...

No, I think Kelli has lost her loyalty. She is no longer wanting world class dancers, wholesome women, outstanding ambassadors for the team. She wants to go to CMT Afterparties and hang out with Kelly Pickler and Raelyn. She wants to be friends with Entertainment Tonight and other Hollywood shows. She wants people to hire her for Birthday wishes and happy anniversary posts. She wants to be bigger than the team. This woman has destroyed the credibility of the team to maintain her ego. 

This!!! The funniest thing is outside of TX and DCC fans, does ANYONE even know or care about Kelli she's a z list celeb at best although in her mind she's ready to accept her Emmy award or hell even host it! She's turned into everything she claims she does not want to represent... 

[go4luca]

I can't find the post now or the poster edited it, where it said "Kelli is laughing about our reaction and we'll get over it".

No, Kelli.  Not this time.  You chose the wrong year and wrong pandemic to boost your stupid ass drama and ratings. 

At the time of this posting, almost 180,000 people have died in the U.S.  That we know of.  People have lost family, friends and colleagues.  They don't take that lightly.  Sure, MTT is a reality show but you don't make light of a global pandemic and cut ladies who voiced concerns over health safety or survived the virus not once, but twice.  Especially in an era where social media is so visible. 

If you know anyone who has caught COVID and survived, it can be sheer hell.  One of my friends said it was so heinous, it felt as though her bones were breaking.

So Charlotte, if you have any care left for your brand, you really should take a strong look at how this was handled.  Folks think you also had a part in the decision making and it sure as hell wouldn't surprise me. 

"World Class" has left the building.   Along with it, much of what remaining respect for your DCC brand that still existed.  I suggest you take a strong earnest look at your current management & priorities.  Yes, Kelli, I did just tell you tonight will be your last night.  Laugh all you want.  I seriously could not give a flying rat's ass.

VK spent more time with these girls and thus had more things to share with TPTB . . .

I have no doubt this is true. I’ve seen enough to know that 1) VK is a snitch and 2) Kelli has for some reason decided to sacrifice what little integrity the team has left in order to appease and pave the way for a mediocre legacy.

A casting Director from Netflix looking for people for a dating show has PM'd Kat, she made a comment on her last insta post. Does this mean we may be rid of Kat sooner than we expect?

If there isnt much going on this season she would be foolish not to take an opportunity to make her more famous when it's clearly what she wants, especially as the shit is really hitting the fan over her extra curricular activities.

Please tell me you made a screenshot of that because I really really want a good laugh at certain management, naming not names (and to see it for myself too)

Would the fact that Hannah and Brennan’s posts still up mean TPTB have no grounds to take it down?  I would have assumed by now both posts would have gone *poof* but I am now thinking at this point the girls might have legal representation. 

But they are not with the cowboys anymore when they made those posts so why would they be taken down? If they were still with the cowboys when they made the posts, then yes they would prob be made to delete those posts .....

They probably won't show her cut like they did with Erica and a few other rookie TCCs who were cut in previous years.

But Erica had a "valid" reason to basically be "erased/not shown" she was doing that lawsuit during TCC so they weren't exactly going to show her face are they? So unless Brennan and Hannah etc decides to sue the cowboys, then they better do it fast before the show is shown/whilst its being edited

The day that happens I think we will ALL be having a party on here. Not only that but the day that dementia kelli gets knocked off her pedestal will mean that charlotte will be gone too, because she is just as "fame hungry" as Kelli.

 

Mind you if Charlotte is in charge of the cheerleaders, does that mean she is in charge of DCRB too right? I always wonder how much say Charlotte has in DCRB's auditions etc and whether she is this "toxic" with the DCRB because watching some of the former seasons back, esp those who went from DCRB to DCC or vice versa (is it Ann Lux who went from DCRB to DCC?)

Hi there -- long time follower (well, at least since Brennan tried out). I've loved this forum and the passion all of you have about dancing and the process the women go through to make this team (what pulled me in was their dancing, passion and tenacity to make the team.) What's turned me off is this last set of cuts, although I will admit I through I was 'done' watching after they cut Brennan the second time. Then, when she made the team (and the group from 2018 was soooo strong.), I came back.

I finally created an account since one of my posts was copied 20 pages back, lol. I was so mad about the Brennan (and Hannah) cuts that I commented on the DCC Making the Team and DCC pages and someone here picked it up.

I also commented on Kelli F IG page last post (from June) on BLM ... I hated to muck up the BLM movement, but I'm sure she didn't create it, which I've copied for your entertainment.

Its pretty bad when I heard the story (in Ohio) about cutting 1)a veteran who had covid twice and 'still' came to training camp and 2)a veteran who expressed concerns about safety of a 'needed' training camp. I don't believe the Cowboys brand is world class and I won't be following any of the team or supporting class as well as well as buying anymore cowboys merchandise. #DCCNotWorldClass

One other thought -- I keep waiting for DCCMTT to take down the page w/Lily's story (where I first posted). But I can't imagine Kelli has any control or authority over Brennan and Hannah's personal IG page. And PS, I loved when Meghan Flaherty told Kelli off; that was beyond cruel of Kelli. My guess is not that many people were watching then - I know I wasn't. But so many more people can be reached through IG & facebook. That's where I saw the DCC (on fb) then started watching some of the shows. Bad, bad pr, not to mention HR, which I worked in for a major university for 35 years. I can't wait to keep commenting on all their pages this fall.

Is it the most diverse team of the MTT/CMT era? I’m sure Kelli did want more diversity. The team needed it, and the last 3 vets who got cut (before this latest round) at auditions were all WOC. Nonetheless, I can’t help but side-eye the suggestion (not referring to any one specific post) that because they took a more diverse squad, talent must have been overlooked for diversity, Hannah/Brennan, etc must have been cut for the black girls. I say this as someone who is a big fan of Hannah and Brennan and as someone who has been posting about Kelli’s poor management for years.

Also, unless Lily and Meredith improved tenfold over the last year, I find it hard to believe that they are much stronger in dance than the rookies who made it. Comparable, sure. But much stronger? I very much doubt that. Meredith is probably the weakest DCC-style dancer that made the team in years.

 

I'm just worried that they are totally doing it for the wrong reason and will either end up making the WOC lives' hell or just cut them next year. I genuinely hope their interest is sincere, but I'm not sure. WOC should not be on the team to be background dancers to the white dancers, they should be given equal opportunities to dance by K&J. 

Edit: And Charlotte

Sad for Cianna that she was cut from Show Group, although I am really not that surprised.  I never thought she was a strong enough performe for SG.  I would put Jalyn on SG over Cianna any day.  But can we get at least one season of Cianna wearing her hair straight instead of curls?

A couple things here:

1) I had no idea Hannah and VK were next to each other in the kickline. I should pay more attention.
2) An interesting yet unnecessary observation: Tess' "cash and prizes" and planted right on the ground. Compare that to VK. She's not as flexible. 

This looks like tarmac and a show group performance, so looks like the Formula 1 GP in Austin.

I have a feeling that right now there are conversations between attorneys for the DCC and attorneys for the girls.

It’s certainly possible, but I think people don’t understand how expensive a lawyer of this magnitude is going to cost. Perhaps their families have a lot of funny and can foot the bill, but the women themselves likely aren’t going to be able to afford it. It’s going to be very hard to prove they were fired without cause. It’s not like they were fired midseason or from a job with very little turnover that would make their dismissal appear  suspicious. They literally have to re-audition for a job every year. There is plenty of precedent for veterans not being retained.  It would certainly be an uphill battle. Maybe the CMT cameras have something that could help their cause. I highly doubt cutting Hannah and Brennan for COVID was something that Kelli and Judy were dumb enough to do in front of the cameras, but you never know.

Is anyone else imagining the MTT editors pulling they're hair out as they cut together three or maybe even four different versions of the season?  "Do we edit out Hannah and Brennan entirely?"  "Do we feature them heavily and totally skew the reasons for their cuts?"  "Maybe feature one and erase one?"  So many bullshit ways to push the narrative!

True, but I think a lot of attorneys would take this one on contingency.  I mean we have allegations that they weren't following safety protocols when the cameras weren't rolling and we have women who voiced concerns being let go.  That looks really bad!  And even if the DCC would theoretically win a lawsuit, the publicity would be disastrous -- and let's be honest, the national media would run it given the salacious details and the connection to COVID.  Thus, I think the DCC would be anxious to settle (like they did with Erica), and that money could be a great incentive for a number of attorneys to take the case on a contingency basis.   Not only would the bad publicity prompt them to settle, but the DCC doesn't want to go through discovery where internal emails and other communications will be subpoenaed, etc.  Who knows what shenanigans that would bring to light!  I hope they do sue -- it won't get these girls back on the team, but it could be the wake up call this organization needs going forward to make some much-needed changes.

Or even Taylor J's one day audition, unless she didn't have contact with anyone or anything in the bubble technically it breached it.

It was breached when they all reported to the bubble with no quarantining.  I don't follow their IGs but just from the little posted here, Lisa was traveling and many went on beach trips.

Yes.  And if they did have to shut down due to a breech toward the end of filming, that would have really screwed with things.  Those are the most exciting moments!  Watching girls on Zoom reacting to making the team just isn't nearly as thrilling.

But judy and dementia kelli were "dumb enough" to tell melissa rycroft off for not coming into practise/being "off" for being ill with mono but then made excuses when cassie was ill with mono/away from tcc etc. They were dumb enough to try spread a highly contagious disease so with this pandemic are you surprised that they "didn't care" about the girls welfare. They say they are. But the fact that there is evidence (tv cameras) that shows they did not care about one (but a different) contagious disease why would they care now about a global pandemic. They will say "stay safe" and so but we all know they are lying <coughs> Melissa rycroft and Cassie's mono situation <coughs>

 

But even with the attorney's my understanding is that Brennan and Hannah can say it and go to the lawyers but they will definately need to provide 100% hard core proof that there was no social distancing provided amount other things once the camera's was switched off. I know there are evidence around but from those pics that I have seen they were standing within "a distance" there are a few where they weren't but is that enough to provide "enough evidence" to keep the lawyers "happy" to win etc?

Megan Flaherty and Malena used to be at the top of my "People who have been royally screwed by DCC" list (No, Kelli, we DON'T forget...).  Looks like I've got to readjust the list. 

I've been watching for years and years and never had a real favorite until Brennan.  I admired how hard she worked.  It's been gratifying to see the outpouring of love for her, that she seems to be a genuinely lovely person IRL.

As for who's pretty, a lot of times I think for DCC "pretty" just means "thin with good hair".

They may not be able to 100% prove it, but is it worth it to the DCC organization for this to come out?  Even if there are people who don't believe it, it still puts the bug in some people's ear, so to speak.

And I agree, Melissa being scolded for "running out of steam" was disgusting, mono is no joke.

That def sounds like a possible scenario.  I also see one where Brennan's Covid isn't mentioned.  But when she makes the "you got this" comment in her interview we get a side of Kelli snarkeling with Judi afterwards (think the bitchy little Jalyn scenario) about "who does she think she is?  her britches are too big for this team!".

I also believe they also thought dancing wasn’t as important this year given that the girls won’t be on the field. 

Well I mean, it never made sense before but now the Brennan and Hannah cuts REALLY make me mad. And now so does Lily’s. All three of them would’ve been great ambassadors to utilize this season.

I can't find the post now or the poster edited it, where it said "Kelli is laughing about our reaction and we'll get over it".

No, Kelli.  Not this time.  You chose the wrong year and wrong pandemic to boost your stupid ass drama and ratings. 

At the time of this posting, almost 180,000 people have died in the U.S.  That we know of.  People have lost family, friends and colleagues.  They don't take that lightly.  Sure, MTT is a reality show but you don't make light of a global pandemic and cut ladies who voiced concerns over health safety or survived the virus not once, but twice.  Especially in an era where social media is so visible. 

If you know anyone who has caught COVID and survived, it can be sheer hell.  One of my friends said it was so heinous, it felt as though her bones were breaking.

So Charlotte, if you have any care left for your brand, you really should take a strong look at how this was handled.  Folks think you also had a part in the decision making and it sure as hell wouldn't surprise me. 

"World Class" has left the building.   Along with it, much of what remaining respect for your DCC brand that still existed.  I suggest you take a strong earnest look at your current management & priorities.  Yes, Kelli, I did just tell you tonight will be your last night.  Laugh all you want.  I seriously could not give a flying rat's ass.

Thank you for this. Very well said.

Kelli has forgotten/ignored/doesn't care a cardinal rule of TV, the fans make the show. They're the reason the show exists. Maybe not this year but eventually Kelli will not be able to hide who she's become. Women are rising up, marching and yelling, "Enough." We're tired of being degraded, lower pay bc we're women, being underappreciated and under respected. The MeToo movement hasn't gone anywhere. In fact it's gotten stronger. One veteran was punished for speaking up another for twice surviving a virus affecting millions in this country alone.  How long before even die hard fans are tired of seeing women degraded on National TV? Including and especially young women? I remember Kelli giving a TC candidate a hard time bc she didn't know what the MeToo was. Does Kelli? And more importantly, does she care? Bc I haven't seen or read anything to suggest she does.

The biggest difficulty will be weaving a narrative where it makes sense to cut Brennan versus just give her more time to heal.  I mean they can't say "we're just out of time -- we have a game coming up!" The DCC can't even be on the field this season, so they could have totally kept her around for appearances and what not as she got better.  But no, it creates more drama for the show to just cut her.  How do you justify that? 

I suspect she voiced concerns along with Hannah, and we have learned that the girls aren't allowed to question anything, which apparently now includes being put in situations that threatens their health.

They wouldn't need to hire lawyers.  All they would have to do is go to the news media and the lawyers would come running.  This kind of publicity is the kind money can't buy and the lawyers would be falling all over themselves wanting to represent them pro bono. Shoot, I bet Gloria Allred would be interested!

The company I used to work for is very well known.  We employees were always being approached by news media and attorneys looking to tell a story or represent us.  And all for free, too.

Exactly which is why I came up with the non-Covid problem for her.  Make it sound like she has become arrogant.  Even typing that makes me laugh.  Brennan arrogant!  But Kelli could def spin that Brennan's new arrogance means she isn't a good vet anymore.  Oh, and we might even have Verucca in there before hand giving testimony that Brennan did .......  some made-up bullshit.
