Yes, I find it odd how they have to look at one person for the whole deck to do a dance. They should at least coordinate with the Dj and maybe plan what dances they do during the game like they do during between the quarters. 

I often look at the stories of people who go to the game and the fans who sit behind them have to sometimes get up and look at the side but I guess it's not too bad if they're limiting seating. 

I like the limited seating I like being abt to go get something to drink and eat or even to the bathroom without having to push my way threw lol

No offense to Brianna but that seems like a pretty piss pour excuse. On game days they do multiple dances in a row so they should have the stamina to do that.

Not really... Kelli exaggerates as usual. Thunderstruck and halftimes are full on choreos but nothing that a trained dancer can’t pull off. But from all the videos i’ve seen, they just do 2-3 8counts dances at most and then stop. You don’t need that much stamina to last through this with all the breaks... in a real dance job you either have multiple numbers back to back as well as costume changes (so no time for a break) or so many numbers over the show that at the end every muscle on your body hurts. That’s stamina.

She acts like they dance the whole game, and they don't, they turn around and watch while play is going on.  They'd look a bit odd dancing with a game going on & no music 😂

Speaking of Brennan, what a wonderful All Star she would have made. Instead of cutting her, they should have offered her that if they didn't feel she had the stamina for the DCC itself.

That is a very interesting point, Brennan Cook as an All Star.

Considering her poise and grace she could have been an All Star. However, I am afraid that in this case the axiom "How can I laugh tomorrow if I can't even smile today" really applies to Brennan's situation.

She made the squad after being cut twice. Only after Kelli let her emotions guide her she reluctantly let Brennan join the team. These emotions were:

  • Anger, because in the previous year there were some girls who had the audacity to quit on her (Kalyssa Singleton and Alexandria Stavropoulos)
  • Guilt (poor Brennan)

Brennan's position in the squad photo is also reflective of her standing in Kelli's brain: she didn't move forward, she was always close to the rookies in the back. Brennan was also not invited to dance in the shoot of the new DCC:MTT leaders and clips.

The sad conclusion is that Brennan was never on Kelli's team, only tolerated. When the situation presented itself, Kelli grabbed it with both of her East Texas hands and threw Brennan out.

So why was Brennan a second class citizen in the DCC squad? Not because she was unprofessional, or because she couldn't do a pirouette, or because she talked back. No. Brennan was a black sheep and a filler because Kelli didn't think Brennan was pretty enough.

To be clear: beauty is in the eyes of the beholder because I think that Brennan is a whole lot prettier than Amy, and Amy is an All Star!

was also kind of sad that Alexandria left the team back in the day. She was one of my favorite rookies that season.

I agree, she was one of my favorites that year. I also know her departure has been a real hot topic on here. A close friend of hers replied to a comment I made on how much I missed her and sad she left early. I don't think she left preseason or even very early, and her friend made the comment "and that team is NO family", or something similar. She apparently was not treated well by the large mean girl group that was very prevalent that year. I follow her on IG and she seems very happy. And her son is adorable! I still really miss her on the team.

I thought she left after pre-season but before cheering at a regular season game. Anyone?

I was here back in the day and I don’t remember mole talk at all!  I do think I’m one of the sunnier peeps for the most part, tho, and I might have blocked such mean spirited posts/posters. The post it for sure got the most press from what I remember, and it cracks me up that it’s for production value. I don’t doubt it. But also, HOW FUCKED IS IT ABOUT THE CONTACTS?!? That seems so much more invasive than hair color. 
 

I don’t know why people question what they do for a living - most DCC seem to be college grads with varied degrees and many are married to spouses that do all kinds of things too. State department doesn’t seem at all unreasonable to me, for her or her spouse.

Yep, same here.  I wish there was a way to access the old TWOP forums.  Lot of good info and gossip, especially since the mods here removed about 500 pages of the Formers Thread with a lot of good info and gossip and never put it back.

Well thats what you get from Dementia Kelli. You can tell she AND CHARLOTTE is EXTREMELY narrowminded in their management and their double standards of the team. Eurgh the old website of the squad with the squad photo I still laugh at the "left squad" but they can't put their names to that person and they have a name.

 

As for Meredith, did I miss something? I don't remember us talking about her mole for 15 pages or is those facebook groups "making up lies" again about us just because they cannot handle the truth we tell or the fact that we respect each others opinions and aren't that nasty like them (nasty in terms of "judging/bullying" etc for our opinions whether the comment was nice or not. She not even "fat" when she left DCC, different clothes can make different girls with different body shape look really really bad eg Jasmine Goode in that orange dress for one of the former DCC wedding, Jasmine did not look good in that dress but then you had the other girls in that same dress and they looked GOOD in it and they all freaking gain weight when they leave DCC anyway because they aren't exactly in calorie deficit once outside of DCC world completely.

Erm didn't meredith say it was this board that talked about the mole (or she mentioned this board on her post. Thats what I meant was it talked about on this board or was it talked about on FB her mole for 15 pages and then we got the blame etc because someone emailed her about someone on a board talking about her mole and she said it was this board talking about it. As meredith mentioned this board talking about her mole, so I assumed it was this board that spent 15 pages talking about her mole (which I didn't remember the 15 pages of it lol), hence my question. 😀 if that makes sense at all

I’d rather she spill the beans about the Mean Girls during her years on the squad! Did Abigail Klein really try to steal Melissa Rycroft’s boyfriend, as she claimed? How did the girls who could really dance truly feel about Cassie? Why was Amy Reece really released from the squad? Were Tia and Tobie really party-girl cokeheads?! 

YES!!!  If you are going to take the time, give us info we really want! 🤣🤣  I feel like she went into detail on stuff that wasn't that big of a deal on here.  Like the note on the mirror....tell us more, like did she know ahead of time or was she just as shocked/sad to see it as we were when it aired? If anyone has done her wrong it was TPTB/CMT.  I didn't think of it at the time, but I wouldn't be surprised if people were intrigued when they saw her clip and were curious what they did and looked it up and posted their findings here....but the beauty of this board, someone (thank you @KnyghtRyder) will speak up and explain if we were wrong or at least give us a better understanding.

I thought how much better her technique should be with all those years en pointe. I remember when I first was told I was going to be able to go en pointe, there were only a handful in my class because we had the best ballet technique. However, going en pointe was a whole new ball game. I discovered how bad my core strength really was! I only lasted a couple of years because I really struggled.

Where is this photo of her pointe shoes?  I didn’t see it on her IG...  please post if possible

All of this!!!! When Brennan fit Kelli's need for a dramatic story, she made the team... And Brennan is a million times better looking than Amy. I'm still scratching my head at how she even made the team especially when she had long hair. She just didn't stand out at all. My other thought on Brennan, Kelli prob knew she couldn't manipulate Brennan...

I feel like her year was one of those where there were a few standouts - Holly, Megan C, Amy T, Robin - and then a ton of people that either struggled or blended. And that year they only took 34, and Kat, Raylee, and Simone were struggling more than her at the end. I just think that looks didn't play into that year's decision. (I actually don't understand why people don't like her look - I think she's very girl next door in a relatable way.)

I could say the same about a few others on that team that blends so well and not noticeable until it is far far TOO LATE. LACEY is one. Yes Amy is another and only got point for seniority ....

 

Kelli is the ultimate bully period can I call her Cruella da vil and dementia kelli from now on?

Easy because a certain someone and a certain tv show made her look bad and as we all know people JUDGE what they see on TV ....... once someone has been made to look bad thats how the viewers will see them ....... Kelli did that to Ika in previous seasons for her poor judgement of her drinking shots, but Ika was like "they were from years ago" ...... but Kelli made it look like she still did that constantly on a daily bases etc

I have no memory if there was ever any discussion on Meredith's mole but there was sure some unkind not in the know comments on her job after her where are they now? segment.  and lots of comments on her body while on the team and then after the segment.   More than one comment that she was probably just a glorified secretary and her husband was some low level IT to the extent that Shelly came on her and posted something saying that was not the case at all.    I have learned to just keep scrolling although I did post something positive towards Meredith  at the time but I remember then thinking why can't people just be happy for her.  She has gone on and had an interesting career and a family past DCC.  Meredith was one of the most well spoken DCC I have ever seen.  Some girls take the mike and I cringe.  They clearly never took a speech class and probably spent years perfecting some little girl speech they thought was cute or sexy.  Meredith was well spoken, had amazing kicks, and her teaching the split jump clinic was great.  I could understand where the former DCC want to stand up for themselves at times  so personally I give Meredith  a high five.  It's easy to say move on when you are not the one in the cross hairs.  I have also seen Meredith stand up for other DCC such as Cassie and more.  Yes the rules of this forum is we can say whatever we want that being said we should not be surprised when a few of them fire back.   And let's face it, like a moth to the flame I suspect many of the DCC come on here to see what we say about them.  Lacey addressed her wedding being "downsized" on her IG but I already lost a friend on here for commenting on that event was a bit large in the beginning of covid.  At least some of the other DCC that have gotten married or are planning to marry, at least tried rescheduling.

Hell I’d b a glorified secretary if it meant 3 years in Buenos Aires on the government’s dime.  In the comments of her FB post she also said the CMT peeps wanted her to b harder on the rookies but she refused cuz they're already under so much pressure.

Meredith 🙄🙄🙄 why does she even care 10 years later. Only issue with her to me is they realllly let her slide that last year with a huge gut. Not being perfectly fit enough is what kept her from making it the first audition and I’m glad Kelli made her sit a year before being on show group. I honestly don’t think she looked that bad in that interview. Just like she’d had 2 kids and aged appropriately. Can’t expect anyone to look like a DCC forver esp with actual life priorities. She supposedly was a tattletale and suck up but how could she not be perceived like that a little when she grew up knowing staff bc her mom coached kicks and recruited. Her engagement post was way over the top but she is very pageanty over the top so whatever. Some people are just extra and that’s okay. Overall though her kicks were amazing, she is very well spoken, very pretty, and I thjnk was a great dcc just fought weight like most humans. I don’t even think the post it was that big of a deal.

Exactly, @GaveIn 💜

I can’t remember the season, but Kelli was joking about the fittings and how Lisa (the tailor) is in their shorts and Kelli in the blouse. Made me snicker. 
 

I super hate the boob job questions too, tho it does sometimes give a funny moment line when Kelli asks Courtney if they were “from East Texas D’s” and when her and Jinelle bonded about being busty ladies. The one with Loren was awkward too, but she played it off nicely. “Well, they’re mine!”  Is there a different type of bra or way to tie the blouse that would impact the amount of jiggle from implants vs natural? I would guess not given some risk of wardrobe malfunctions with Bridget last year, but that’s the only reason natural vs. implants should even be brought up.

Yeah, the conversation is usually pretty funny (Loren had the best response ever!), but I feel bad for the girls that might not have wanted EVERYONE to know.  That is usually when you learn what the girls' uncomfortable smile looks like 🤣 Also, some of the girls I would have never noticed (for example, Kinzie...I remember Lisa saying she wanted her frontside to match her backside)
