That was Brennan that arrived in jeans, tennis shoes and a tank top to the vets 1st meeting!  Pretty surprised she made it past the first day. A 3rd year vet should have better leadership skills and not just KNOW better, but WANT to do better.   I heard she became arrogant...this just proves it to me.  

I wrote this on the other thread too but I venture to guess she thought they were moving into a hotel -- and would have time to change and freshen before the first meeting. I wouldn't call her arrogant without knowing the why.

It’s virtue signaling and stupid as can be. Seriously, quarantine, test everyone and then when all are negative, film your show without masks. 

 

 

The problem with this -- can't do that if its not a true bubble which  its not. Hotel and show staff were coming and going.

It will be interesting to see how Alora-Rose turns it around to make the team. Not impressive in tonights ep at all. 

Andddd that is what I call the Meredith treatment. I honestly think that's the reason she made it. It's clear she is struggling as they keep talking about her but still pushed Alora through anyway because she's pretty..I guess. It's just like what they did with Meredith. She may be a one and done.

Oh no - Victoria was supposedly arrogant at the hotel and Brennan and other group leaders talked to her.  That might be what you heard

Oh I understand why they are in the order that they are in (I think...maybe. Probably would help if I actually watched). But I was just wondering when ‘Lisa’ morphed into ‘Elisa’ in the bottom photo. Either it doesn’t say Elisa or that actually isn’t Lisa and I need to get reading glasses 🤓😳. Or someone in CMT:MTT post-production photoshop editing needs to be told “Let me be clear: tonight will be your last night, the decision final.” (No, just kidding. What kind of sociopath would actually do that?)

Her actual name is Elisa, but she goes by Lisa.

Lisa always has an arrogant smug look about her . 

She’s had this look on her face since middle school. It’s engrained into her soul, but she makes herself look too try-hardy on TV. I find it annoying tbh, it gives me eager puppy dog vibes.

I think there is an obvious difference between wearing nice jeans, cute, professional (acceptable cut & style) top and heels to a dance rehearsal where everyone else is in workout gear.... than wearing jeans, skimpy tank top and tennis shoes to a first meeting where common sense is everyone would be expected to be more appropriately dressed.  No one is saying wearing jeans is a sin...but a 3rd year vet should know time and place. JMHO. That’s all.

Do we think Meredith will try out again? She’s shared DCC MTT insta post to her story and she’s liking their posts and DCC’s? Be interesting if she tries again next year or in a couple of years as some previous cut vets have done 

that's...really cringey. she must just love seeing herself on tv because if i were her i'd very quietly move on

 My guess is that they thought they would move in first then freshen up before the meeting. 

I was shocked at the jeans too.. I think there were a few of them in Jeans though.. Brennan's just stood out because she looked by far the most casual with a tank top and she was right in the front.

Good point. I think this season it looks like a lot of them have had botox or fillers or something.. including Kelli. Being in that type of environment breeds insecurity I'm sure. They are all beautiful - honestly none of them needed anything.

Kelli likes her because she thinks that Alora is a celebrity since she was a Rockette yet she never wants to mention she was Ultra Girl.  Kelli likes girls with titles.  Sheridan calling Kelli "girl",  she must have been nervous, she will never forgive herself for calling her "girl".  That made me cringe, she was trying way to hard to be cute but she did a good job correcting that.  Too bad that happened because Sheridan would be great on the team.  She has great hair, she is always kind, no drama and will not have a weight problem ever.  Do you seriously think people would rather look at Marissa than Sheridan???  Alora making so many mistakes and yet Tori never makes any mistakes.  You will never be able to figure out what Kelli is thinking.  All I know is I dislike her more and more every year.  I was laughing out loud at Lisa's jeans, they were the ugliest things ever, why would she wear those any place let along to TC.

Exactly. I would of assumed that too. Check in, put your stuff down, Maybe some refreshments, report on time dressed business casual to the first meet up/introductions. I don't blame the ladies in casual dress at all.  It doesn't seem like they were given any instructions on how the day was going to go.

Brennan's jeans - just no.  Yes, there were other girls stylishly dressed in jeans.  Even Lisa was stylish (and atrocious - but they did have stars on them).  Brennan was wearing mom jeans, a wife beater and tennis shoes to check in to a luxury hotel???  No, her outfit was only appropriate for a Motel.  Kelli has made it clear that they should be stylish even walking through the airport (Savannah or someone actually had on white jeans and a top that seemed like the one Kelli said would be appropriate for the airport.)  I think a luxury hotel is a much higher standard than an airport.  I don't love Kelli.  I don't think she is fair or impartial.  I think she often shows favoritism.  But on this, if Kelli took exception to that outfit, she was just holding to a standard that she has previously expressed.  Brennan should have known better.  I think this is MUCH less acceptable than Kat's cutout dress during the interview.

My two cents i'm sad that Sheridan seems to have morphed into Emily, with her sickle feet who tried out twice & was cut, the one who danced for the Mavs, I got such odd vibes from her but I'll chalk it up to nerves bc I've been rooting for her since her first audition but 'girl' better check herself!

Also is it me or has Kat put some weight on, again, not fat shaming she looks heavier by DCC standards or did she have her boobs done? Maybe that's what is making her look bigger to me...

I watched the first episode when it was free on CMT, but otherwise will not go out of my way to watch the rest of the season (and will definitely not purchase it).  This is coming from a former die-hard who owns nearly every season on iTunes and has watched religiously since Season 1.  Not only has COVID changed habits across the board, but I also feel that COVID has exposed K&J and this show in a way that I'm just not interested in supporting anymore.

I’m with you on that one. I don’t know how many others joined us, but I decided that I wouldn’t give them any revenue -can’t force others to join me to have bigger impact but i guess i’m doing my part. To be fair though, the VK train wreck was enough to keep me from purchasing the show last season and this season just proved i was right.

Keeping the bubble shut down and not letting anyone in or out (like they SHOULD have been doing since the beginning!!!!) for those potential 48hrs makes much more sense than sending everyone home to potentially expose their family and friends to Covid. The sheer stupidity of it all just boggles me.

Why are you trying to find logic in Kelli’s actions?

Agreed about them taking off masks during meetings... they're taking them off when the risk is highest. Makes no sense. 

However, I don't have an issue with them wearing masks in the bubble. The NBA had a real, legit bubble, and people still wore masks on the sidelines, etc. The DCCs are definitely doing it for show (I fully agree with that point), but I don't see the issue in taking an additional precaution even if it was a true bubble. There is always the possibility that something was missed, and at that time during the end of summer, the United States was still in the "masks are controversial" phase in certain portions of society. So even if it was just to look good, make a point, and set an example, I actually don't think that is a bad thing, particularly at that time.  

Ok so, I’m with you about keeping the masks even in a bubble -because yes if it was done right they wouldn’t need the masks but considering that girls were flying in and out of states just before TC, yeah the bubble wasn’t exactly perfect. And while I understand that having “celebrities” on the screen wearing masks is a good thing, wearing the mask wrong is just as bad if not worse than not having them. They keep taking them off with their hands, no sanitizer in sight, let them sit on their sweaty necks then back in then take them off when talking to each other. Like whaaat?

18 hours ago, GaveIn said:

I totally agree!  I was pointing out that I actually love that some kept it on during the meeting, like TPTB can call it a bubble & safe all they want, but in a large group, I wouldn't want to take the risk either...especially knowing most of these girls follow eachother on SM, they know some weren't laying low before they entered like they probably should've been.  I will say, at least Amber was one with a mask on, wasn't she traveling pretty heavy before 'the bubble'?

I don’t think anyone is making fun of the girls who kept their masks on. If anything, it’s applauded.

Two VK photos. Jeez Kelli, we get it, VK's your favorite. Keep in mind this is out of 10 photos.

At least the first photo of VK looks good. That's....an improvement.

It....it looks good? I’m impressed she’s finally managed to close her mouth, but well unfortunately it doesn’t look better.

I agree and in general, most of the girls have made small tweaks that suited them -I’m not excited about beautiful women feeling like they need these, but it’s their choice. The problem is that some of them just don’t know where to stop. And Lacey is a good and relatively fresh example -she’s looking more and more plastic with each day.

Regarding masks, I also don’t understand why they take them off when dancing. They wear them now anyway and it would be good practice because yeah it’s difficult and they should’ve had the chance to get used to it in TC. And well you know, for safety reasons as well but who cares about that right?

I completely agree.

Yes, others wore jeans. But that is not the point. The point is the whole ensemble.

I don’t think it mattered and it didn’t make Brennan’s position worse, but it should be clear to everyone that her outfit was just indefensible.

I’m to lazy to look online (or rewatch the episode), but could someone (pretty please) post Brennan’s ‘Audacious Attire’ (& Lisa’s too 😉)

Knowing how Lisa is a kiss up to Kelli I am not surprised she wore jeans with stars thinking Kelli would be impressed that her whole world is DCC.  I laughed so hard when I saw these, no one would be caught dead anyplace in Dallas wearing those.

Last season too. It was a lot more obvious in person but more had some botox filler tweaks than didnt. 
Is it me or is VK getting thick again and that post of her kicking in the Christmas dress - dang looked like far more effort than necessary for The Bestest DCC EVER.

also forgot how square Meredith looked in the uniform. Girl has no waist and it’s wide. Her cut really does not surprise me.

Honestly beautiful Brennan - I thjnk Kelli just never liked her for whatever reason. She had a great figure, held her own in dance as much as the rest, so well spoken, accomplished, prettier than the last couple triangles well before Barbie Rachel. I think kelli never wanted her in the first place but she made a good story and was so cooperative And well mannered they could do whatever. Still salty about her and Hannah.

Thank you for pointing that out! She looks like she would get winded so easily. She does look like she is getting thicker, but I doubt Auntie Kelli will pull her or cut her for any reason. I am just sick and tired of having her showcased like she is the best DCC that they have ever had! Ugh! 🙄

"I feel like I'm grasping it a LITTLE more this year, but there are still minor hiccups here and there."

Just imagine a 2nd-year Melissa Wallace or a 2nd-year Nicole Hamilton saying those words. Or actually, imagine any 2nd-year from any season say that on screen. I don't even care that Meredith gets cut soon. Good lord, this organization is not like it once was. I'm just don't see myself carrying on beyond this season ... if I even make it to this year's finale.

Also, hey TPTB (K&J, CMT)! If you really are monitoring these boards please note the lower interest in this season. Episode thread and spoiler thread are filled with comments about JEANS. That's right. Not cheerleading. Not cheerleaders ... JEANS. Something has to change. Any ideas?

The more I think about it, in a couple of previous seasons, it’s showed Kelli recommending and telling girls to get work done. Like when she had Colby in asking about what work she’d had done although she hadn’t - but there was some girls she recommended get Botox and told them to have it in their forehead. I just can’t remember which season it was

Hi! Longtime lurker and show watcher here. I have been in the NFL Cheerleading industry and just about every other cheerleading industry there is and I wanted to post some possible explanations for some of the veteran cuts. I know when you're trying out for a team you're pretty much competing against your demographic(hair color, build, etc) and most teams do not want two people who look too much alike(I don't just mean hair color, I mean the overall appearance) unless they are trying to play off a "twin" situation. So if you notice they put Hannah and Claire in the same group who are both more curvy, more pale, redheads with amazing technique. They had Dani and Victoria in the same group(long legged blondes) Shannan and Meredith, Lexi and Jessica, Lisa and Cassie(they don't look alike but from a field perspective), etc you'll see the pattern if you pay attention, Kelli even made a comment saying she'd take Meredith over Shannan. So I believe the ultimate decision came down to Claire vs Hannah. Hannah voicing her concerns with the virus probably didn't help her in this situation, especially when it was a more competitive year as far as upping the glam of the team. I'm sure they looked for any reason to cut who they wanted to cut to make room for who they wanted. Which as unfair as it can seem, it's just the industry. I'm sure I could be explaining this better/more examples but you get the point lol.
