Exactly why I’m not watching this year. It’s truly sad what they are willing to do for ratings these days.

I can't imagine how it hurts the girls.  Those comments will sticks with them for years.  Time for Kelli, Kitty and Charlotte to go.

Curious why we saw a board that had "show group stickers" - but then we see conflicting comments in the show. For instance, we "saw" stickers from Melissa, Neil and the weatherman for Hannah - but then we see them say "no and maybe." We even saw a "show group sticker" on Kristen. My question - is the board with the stickers false - and all for the show? Or are the edits/voiceovers wrong? I am getting confused.

Any news if a pro bowl cheerleader will be picked?  I know cheerleaders aren't allowed on the field this year.  But was wondering if they would do something for the cheerleaders this year?  Just curious!

This makes sense from the new teaser clip pf kelli’s reaction to her solo doesn’t seem upset like about her dancing but what she’s hearing. Like Kelli doesn’t like the stance Kristin was taking in her dance and the music. 
 

So the ones who got cut or shown in a negative light on the show (to give a reason to cut next year) are ones who are speaking out in a way Kelli doesn’t like which is safety concerns about covid and systematic racism, got it. I’m not watching anymore, I can wait till the cuts show up on YouTube. 

[TUOwl84]

I just saw on Instagram that Marissa's boyfriend has been diagnosed with cancer.

I knew they would edit this season to fit their narrative, but even I am surprised at how much they chose to edit. Obviously most of the time they can’t use the original music because of royalty, but to purposely overlay music that makes Kristin look off is insane (yes, they did that). Kelli told Hannah that her solo was one of the strongest when they were cutting her. Imagine sacrificing health, safety, time, to go into a bubble last minute, in the middle of a global pandemic, only to watch the women who are supposed to lead you with grace and positivity, tear you down because they didn’t like the message your dance sent. Interesting that they didn’t show the judges’ comments about not being the least bit impressed with another “white girl” hip hop from Maddie. Interesting that they left Claire W get away with wearing a potato sack for her solo dance when they have cut vets for doing the same. This show is actually ludicrous.

P.S. how are you calling this a bubble when you are leaving the hotel to go to the stadium where there are public tours happening at the same time as filming????

[TUOwl84]

Kristin should post on instagram a video of her rehearsing her solo with the music she chose!  I thought the music that was played during that video clip seemed weird and I thought to myself there is no way that anyone would choose that for their solo music.

Yep. Who would stay after being dragged like that? I feel sorry for her.  Kristen's pride must of been hurting to even say something on social. And now that she's spoken up, we all know she's not going to be welcomed back next year anyway.

Sad thing is that it can't be that surprising to any of the girls who get talked about.  We aren't there - we just watch the show and we know what K&J can be like.

You mean to tell me some damn good veterans got cut... and she didn't? Kelli literally says she "just" made it on the team last year and now this?

I get that there is DEFINITELY editing going on here and hopefully the solo would have been better with the original music but good lord I am getting tired of Kelli's double standards with these girls. Kat is consistently below the 36 line but "she's so pretty!" Gah! I'm just annoyed and taking it out on this board lol

Never have known two women as mean as Kelli and Charlotte.  It is one thing to talk with yourselves about Kristin but to air the mean comments on national TV makes them look like the most unsupportive women ever.  That has to be very hurtful.  They could say that to her in private if they felt the need.  No wonder so many girls have mental and emotional problems, people like Kelli are part of the reason.  Kitty looked like she didn't like Kristin either but I don't think she liked her the first year she auditioned either.  

I remember on the podcast ages ago they were asked about watching the show and hearing the feedback from Kelli Judi and Charlotte and how they handled that but whoever was on the pod said that they hear it in real life so the comments on the show arent a shock ... But I can't imagine the snide comments are provided as feedback to the girls regularly 😐 It's always just stuck with me as another way the girls have to bite their tongue in order to keep doing a job that they love that they get bugger all payment for.

So, the division winners actually automatically get the top four seeds in their conference (even if there is a wildcard team with a better record). So, as NFC East champs, if they make the playoffs, the Cowboys would actually have a home game in the first round of the playoffs.

But even if they make the playoffs, this year's rookies still wouldn't be able to post about making the team because the MTT finale isn't until after the first round 🤯

I need to ponder this.... a potential  7-9 team who wins the division (which is sad on its own), but low in the conference, having home field in the 1st round... wow-wow-wow

And I just remembered that former coach Jason Garret is with the Giants....

Kristin just posted her solo with music to her Instagram.  I don't know how to post it here, but it was beautiful....CMT and TPTB did her dirty. They should be ashamed of themselves.

And I see she changed her profile pic from her in a DCC uniform. Looks like she’s planning a graceful exit from the DCC soon.

[5678Pixie]

She is pretty much calling out Kelli, Charlotte and Kitty.  This shows me just how hurt she was.  Kelli has zero compassion.

DCC Solo 2020 - “Selah”

2020 has been one thing after another, but one of the biggest issues our country faces is systemic racism and the social injustice that black people face.
•
For this reason I chose to dance to “Selah” by @kanyewest to use my voice and my art to speak up about the changes our country needs to make. (I do not own the rights to this song.)
•
The clip you saw of me holding my fist in the air represents solidarity as I stand with my brothers and sisters who deserve the same treatment and opportunities as others. The black costume represented the black community. And finishing with my hand on my mouth represented a voice that’s been suppressed. It’s time that voice is heard.
•
Dancing for something bigger than myself.

Kristen!!! Your solo is amazing, just wow! I’m really sorry they chose to ruin it on MTT I’m also sad they talked about you the way they did these are grown women acting like high school mean girls for no reason other than to create drama. You are so much better than what was portrayed I’m so sorry! I love that you danced with such purpose to stand with such conviction in these incredibly trying times, you truly are a remarkable dancer and AMAZING role model in just smh at Kelli & Charlotte but why am I surprised they don’t care about buildings women up rather tearing them down for ratings...

Let me just say that I'm SO happy that Kristin is speaking out.  I have loved her ever since she made the comment about not being a picky eater because she has seen people without anything to eat...all while they were teaching the DCC how to push food around their plate to give the appearance of eating.

Thank you, Kristin.  Your voice is needed.

Ok, I just watched Kristin's solo on her insta, and I'm getting legitimately emotional. She is so wonderful. She went WAY out of her way to do something devoted to racial injustice, when she didn't have to, for a group of people she knew wouldn't welcome or care for it. That was so brave of her. She knew she was on thin ice with these people (they never seemed to like her, and I'm sure she knows she "barely made the team"), and she did it anyway. She went out of her way to make an actual statement, and they edit it with some garbage track and make it seem like she's some wack job who has no idea how to dance to music. FUCK them. This is actually so amazing to me; I never expected a DCC to do anything like this. 

I always admired Kristin for her passion for ASL and interest in the deaf community—I thought that was really super cool, to see a DCC actually have half a brain and care about something. She always seemed a little outcast to me, probably because she doesn't make DCC her entire life. I also love when DCC have jobs and careers and whatnot—I remember in season 13 she was having such a hard time because she was commuting hours per day and going to TC after a full work day. You know, being an adult with a career, like they say they love and expect, despite how impossibly demanding TC is for anyone in that situation. And season 13 also bums me out because Kristin seems to get needlessly shit on a bunch—it was so bizarre how they acted like she was someone who thought her shit don't stink and would walk onto the team because she's pretty. Huh? 

I love her even more now, WOW. I know the DCC org fucking sucks, but this is kind of a new low. Makes that forced little diversity seminar one or two episodes ago look even more pathetic. 

You're way too good for them, Kristin. I can't even imagine how upsetting it is to have your entire performance warped into a JOKE, when you put that much work into it and when you know only the super fans online like us will be able to find out what really happened. They do not deserve you, fuck these people omg

edit: LOL, she's liking all the comments on her post dissing them. yassss leave their asses

The dance + music is so stunning, I don't even know how you could begin to warp that into a bad performance. They are so wrong for that, my god

It's heartwarming to see so many of her teammates supporting her.  Rachel, Gina, Kelcey, Erin, Lexie, Marissa, (and Hannah "liked" it)...so far.  We should keep a list and cross reference with the list of upcoming retirees.

[5678Pixie]

I like seeing some of the DCC are commenting on her solo, glad to see some of them aren't afraid of Kelli.  Wish they would all ban together and write a book.  

[Peanutflutter33]

Misrepresenting performances and using editing to support their storylines and justify their bad decisions in disgusting. I hope there is major backlash from vets after this season...more ladies need to speak up. It’s clear the entire DCC organization does nothing to promote female empowerment or a healthy work environment for women.

She did post it.. and it was beautiful. She used the accents in the music and it was a powerful message speaking out against racism!!! How the heck does MTT / DCC think it’s ok to bash her performance when it’s literally speaking out against racism...?

It seems so outrageously wrong to have done this to a routine that is speaking up against racial injustice in 2020!!!! I almost feel like it could make it to cable news. Like what the actual heck....??? Cowboys organization you need to seriously re-evaluate yourself

100%. Do I think it was a perfect solo? No, because while I love the theme I think she missed some musicality in a couple of moments. But she had some killer tricks and shows great technique. It’s a very successful solo ALL AROUND. And I’m one that thinks they put too much stake in solos when it’s not what they need on the field (hi, Meredith...gorgeous dancer when she’s not doing DCC style.)
 

I think the judges would have liked to have seen more “power Pom” from her, since she can be soft in their style, but for heaven’s sake...we’ve seen plenty of lyrical and contemporary solos with outreaches hands while wearing a nightie and boy shorts so whatever. 
 

I super love that she posted her solo, and extra love that she’s commenting back AND getting so much support. I wasn’t sold on Kristen when she made the squad, but she’s probably perfection with a bad edit (other than those too heavy lashes.)

[MirabelMadrigal]

Go Kristin!!! Kelli and Charlotte are very obviously afraid of strong women who fight for injustice, speak up for the oppressed, are open about mental health issues, and care about taking precautions during a pandemic. TPTB have missed a perfect opportunity, during this most critical of years, to show that the DCC organization is supportive of strong women and feels compassion for others.

Agreed.  I am so disappointed with this show.  The only diversity Kelli knows is an occasional fist bump with Emmitt Smith.  She should be ashamed of herself.  She likes girls who quote scripture......so Kelli....go read Galatians 6. Let's just say that racism will have to hit close to home for Kelli to have empathy, and more importantly, not exploit it for the purposes of ratings for a reality show.  In the meantime, enjoy driving around Dallas in your oversized SUV drinking your Big Gulp Diet Coke while wearing two pairs of Spanx.

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?

[5678Pixie]

Kelli is so oblivious she could care less that we are talking about it.  She probably thinks it is wonderful the show is getting so much attention because we are talking about it.  She has really hurt so many of the girls this year.  Wonder what her children think of her?  Better yet I wonder how she would like it if it was her daughter getting hurt?
