It is obvious when Charlotte doesn't like a girl.  Kelli is already going to start in tonight trying to make excuses why she doesn't think Hannah should be on the team.  This is so edited. 

This makes me so upset and their comments were obviously forced because usually it's usually the judges to say what they feel about a vet they noticed and not Kelli asking them how they thought of a certain vet. 

[suzo]

Y'all. It's started. Are they really going to cut Hannah for being "too pale" and "not looking happy" 

 

I just can't. 

[DCCFan2021]

Watch Brennan in the background of Meredith's clip - she looks great! And really, Hannah is too pale? With her hair color she'd look odd too much tanner, and I don't see a big difference between this year and last year. They're really reaching for little things here.

So hello BS!

exactly, they can't comment on her dancing because they can't prove that one with video so they have to go with her not "wanting to be there" or being too pale which she looks the same skin tone as all seasons.

I know I shouldn’t be surprised but some of the shit that comes out of Kelli’s mouth... I know I’m being overly sensitive bc I’m still pissed knowing Hannah’s cut will be for some BS reason. First the ‘too pale’, does Kelli forget there is a pandemic & some people might of put their health over hitting the tanning salon for the time being? AND then the ‘doesn’t look happy’, could that maybe be bc she was told they would be safe in a ‘bubble’ yet here they are traveling to the stadium, she seem to be shining while dancing though?!?!  And this is the me being overly sensitive part...when someone you value doesn’t look happy (especially knowing they’ve dealt with depression), isn’t that the most important time to lift a sister up and not cut her down?  They really missed the chance to keep rockstar and/or solid vets AND show COVID/pandemic comeback stories.

[Pies]

I don't understand their issue with Kat, she obviously looks great, they must mean a few technical flaws, she makes mistakes, but more than makes up for it with her charisma.

She's a vet now - can't make mistakes or get out danced by rookies.  Plus must add drama:)

Maybe I'm biased, but what a shame it would have been if she'd been cut, just over a couple of small mistakes, there's nothing else to fault her on at all, she's an asset.

[vanillagum]

if kat made the team after that pathetic solo and minimal dance background last year, i wouldn't worry about her getting cut. they clearly value her looks and personality over any dance ability

This makes me so cheesed. Lily and Hannah were fabulous. The only 2 vets who weren’t fabulous dance wise were Meredith and Kat. Meredith has always been weaker in the DCC style so I can’t fault her getting cut on anything else but seriously? Kat? She was a dance risk last year too and her “charisma” is such BS, it’s that annoying, ditzy, haha look at me omg oops! personality that drives me insane and is not how you should be approaching a professional gig. 

Also, “she’s pale. She seems unhappy, like she doesn’t want to be here.” IT’S A PANDEMIC KAREN. SHE IS RISKING A LOT JUST BEING THERE BECAUSE SHE LOVES THE TEAM AND HER JOB SO MUCH TO ACTUALLY COME BACK.

So scripted. So edited. So forced. Charlotte and Kelli obviously don't take kindly to anyone with a mature voice and opinion (unless it echoes their own). Sickening to be honest. Even though things are highly edited - we've still seen footage of SEVERAL vets making mistakes. Of course they don't call out those girls. Ick just ick.

[TUOwl84]

Based on that clip, Kat should've been cut too since she clearly didn't know the choreography.  She looked to her right to see what the other candidates were doing. 

As much as I can't stand Marissa's personality off the field, she is a strong dancer and I can see why she made the team this year.  She was a beauty queen so she knows how to turn it on when it is needed.  When I think of Marissa on the team with those who seem much more mature such as Savannah, Lexie and Tess...I cringe though.  Marissa has a lot of growing up to do.  

[Tuxcat]

I know these boards are only made to FIT the narrative THEY WANT US TO SEE... but I am curious. This is the third version - who is that on the bottom row (note - all below Annabelle -LOL). I can make out the obvious Brennan, Hannah, Kat, Lilly and Meredith...I can see Sheridan and Kelly. Who else?

[TheGenuineBeauty]

Ugh I am soooo not ready for Kelli and Judy to start talking crap about Hannah.

I can't tell who the centermost rookie is, but otherwise looks like Brennan, Jada, Taylor J, Hannah, Kat, ?, Lily, Meredith, Sheridan, Kelly, Shannon.

Well....episode 4 sucked. I think after I find out why Hannah got cut I am just going to stop watching. It's just so frustrating seeing girls that struggle all the time make the team and girls that make one mistake get cut for BS reasons. After seeing Kat struggle like that it is clear that she should have been cut, same thing with Alora-Rose. Like I predicted, Kelly was cut for BS reasons, yes she made mistakes, but not as much as Alora-Rose imo. I was going to post my more in depth thoughts but there are a lot of curse words in it, so I'll just leave it at that. 

[DCCFan2021]

Is Cassie's full name Cassandra? The name on the board seems too long to just be Cassie.

[bjo1969]

I was okay with Kat last year ~ this year not.at.all. She should have been cut. She and Meredith were the worse veterans out there. She's so full of herself. Not cute or mature at all. JMHO.

They thought Sheridan looked bad.  Am I watching the same girl as them?  She out shined everyone she looked amazing.  I loved how she did that dance and when they pulled away and showed the whole group, she stuck out in a good way more than anyone.  She knew it was her last night, it was heartbreaking to watch.  They purposely showed Hannah to look bad, cellulite and her walk was weird.  I have liked Ellie and the way she dances from the very first episode.  I can't believe they took Annabel to TC.  Tori was great she never makes mistakes.   I predict she makes the team next year.

Sometimes when I look at Kat with her wide-eyed, vacant look, I really think she favors Cookie Monster from Sesame Street😩😭

I call her "Aloha"-Rose. I just can't watch this season. I watched the first episode to match names with faces, but that was it. The Hannah, Brennan, and even Lily cuts still sting. I would like to get to know the new gals more, but will rely on these boards for my info. I don't wish to support Kelli, Charlotte, etc.

Another DCC in Motion. Cianna and Daphne are good, dependable dancers but Jalyn just has something extra. She's such a dynamic performer and my eyes are often drawn to her. It's a travesty that she got dropped from SG in the first place but then to not get her spot back? Disgraceful!

The thing about Jalyns dancing is that its so effortless. A true talent. 

[DCCFan2021]

A couple of thoughts after watching the show:

I'm verrrrry interested to see Hannah's office visit next week. We know she doesn't get cut until the end of training camp, so what BS do they feed to her in this meeting? Dance stuff? Weight? Paleness? I wonder if Hannah suspected she might get cut after this office visit just based on the crap they tell her.

Kat should've been cut. In both episodes now she's been called out for mistakes. She's a vet, that cannot happen.

Meredith's cut is completely justified. She messed up that dance hardcore and based on the preview for next week she's still a crybaby. Also, I found it interesting that her awesome "edge" shots were of her in 2018, when she didn't even make it into TC. I just see that as further proof that she only made it based on looks, because even the judges didn't like her enough that year.

[DCC-UK]

I, for one, like that Hannah isn't super tanned like everyone else. You need a mixture of looks on the team. Sure, she's not as universally stunning as others are but I thought the team was about having the whole package. She's beautiful, an incredible dancer and has an interesting story to tell.

I imagine the bubble might've been hard for her with her issues with anxiety and depression but she still went on the basis that they were taking all precautions. When she got there, she voiced her concern about the lack of protocols people were adhering too and gets kicked to the curb. I can't imagine she spoke out just to protect herself; she seems to care about everyone's health.

Just because she's not your typical extroverted, super bubbly type of cheerleader, she gets that held against her. She's got a voice and an opinion (which I love) but obviously doesn't align with the Jones' opinions. 

She's been one of my faves since her rookie season because of all of this. She's come back year on year and improved herself, taken more classes on her own and become one of the most versatile dancers they've ever had. Shame on you Kelli and CMT for spinning her story into the way you want.

[PicnicLife77]

I wish there was an episode thread, but since not I'll post here. Just can't get them confused when I go back! Random thoughts:

Sydney makes weird faces.

Doesn't make sense to equate Hannah's being pale to not wanting to be there. Plus, they were told to ignore fixable cosmetic issues this year. 

I'd love to see more Dani. Didn't realize how tall she was. 

On the tall note, interesting commentary on Jada. 

Still hoping we will eventually see more Claire. Interesting look, but I love her.

Who is the manly woman walking them out?

They had to play the overused "Someone You Loved" during cuts. I hate that song because the teens play it over and over on TikTok in our house! Also, dumb fit for the show, like the Post Malone song.

I'm a terrible person, but if I were Annabelle I would try to contour that bulb on the end of my nose. 

I'm sure I'll think of more. 

Oh, Kat should be cut.

Did we know that Rachel A had COVID weeks ago? I didn’t but that doesn’t mean you all didn’t! Her Instagram says 6 weeks later and still no sense of smell. Had you all flagged that she missed any games? Or maybe with away games, etc. she didn’t miss any.

A pandemic which is making a lot of people depressed. Now we're talking about someone with a HISTORY of depression. I'd encourage her to continue talking to her therapist/psychiatrist, not say & do things that would make her feel worse!

All of this right here!!! My thoughts... i'm more infuriated over Hannah being cut than ever. Giving Kat a pass bc they like her look is complete and utter bs, girlfriend was outdanced but oopsie look at me i'm so pretty and clueless. Its not her fault she gets by on her looks its TPTB for shoving her down our throats. I am not charmed by her, never have been. You would think they want their "World Class" ambassadors to be strong, smart ladies not girls who think its cute to constantly make mistakes and act dumb... 

As for Meredith, all I can say is bless her heart. She is one I feel bad for bc she is likable & smart but she just cannot keep up. She lived her dream time to move on... 

As for Hannah looking pale and sad, ummmm WHAT? She's a natural redhead if she were tanning you'd say she looked muddy. This whole scene is too much. How do you tear into someone who may be struggling mentally? How is that a world class thing to do? Why not speak to her to see if she's doing okay or does she need some help? I don't know if i'm going to make it through this season. How do you keep someone like KAT over Hannah? Last I knew this was a dance team not a barbie wannabe team... 

[Pies]

If you watch from 1:05-1:09, they show Hannah standing next to Kat, maybe that was to make her look less attractive by comparison because Kat obviously looked great as always, nonetheless, I hope she finds a new job, and is treated better.

[Lexusprincess]

unpopular opinion...........Hannah did look washed out which is probably little make up.  She always looks fresher on some of her own pictures than her DCC which I always felt her makeup for DCC needed to do the opposite of contouring to make her look softer.  However, I did think she looked different and since I never remember her looking tanned it is probably make up.  After first being really upset over her cut, I still think attitude in a professional setting can get anyone fired.  if she was so concerned, she should have skipped this year.  I make choices to not do things to be safe and have given up many social and professional opportunities because of my concern.

Kat,,,if she wasn't so pretty I am sure she would be gone.  I would have cut her for how she looked on the field.  In fact I would have let Kat and Meredith go on that episode with the rookies.

I didn't see enough of Brennan to make an opinion.  I believe Lily they showed good points and bad and I always thought she would get cut this year.  Her and Meredith were the top of possible cuts.

Brianna looks tired.  I hope she makes the decision to move on this year

As to the comments on Sydney's body......she looks great to me.  completely flat stomach.  maybe a little more rear end but she looks good.  Now some of the other rookies need cookies and hamburgers.  In the words of my man, some like Jada look like little girls.

And I too wonder has Rachel A missed a game.  Is that why she now lives with her sister not Alexis and Maddie because she got Covid?  First mention of Covid was just now but she states it's 6 weeks later.  Hope she gets her smell back I love her.

Last I love Rachel W as point and hope she stays so she can be on the field as point next year.

Interestingly, someone else I know posted something similar yesterday.  Six weeks post-COVID and they had no sense of taste/smell.  Also the first I'd heard of them having COVID and based on the amount of traveling/socializing they were doing in the previous six weeks, I never would have guessed it.  People, this is why our positivity rates are still so high!!!!

haven't watched yet but what the hell does judy do other than sit and judge people? how is she the choreographer? she's always looked like if she'll move she'll break, so i can't imagine her actually choreographing anything. i mean is this just a vanity position at this point or am i wrong

One word: Cop-out. They need to justify why they cut her to the public that doesn't follow/know about this board since we don't drink the DCC Kool-aid. They lost me last season with Veruca and I won't watch again until she is G-O-N-E!

They did the same thing to Tara. Instead of offering support, she just got cut. 
They also cut Jalyn from show group last year then told her she had a chance again this year and didn’t take her back on. She should retire after this year because they’ve clearly blacklisted her.

It can take up to eight weeks for olfactory nerves to regenerate. I took all the precautions and still got COVID. Luckily for me, my sense of taste and smell came back two weeks later, and the rest of the symptoms were very mild.

I did not understand why Kat made the team last year, and this year now that she is a Vet and making the mistakes she does...she should be gone!

[lemonbus230]

Interesting how they are trying to claim certain cut vets look unhappy, tired, not-recovered from Covid, and showed Sydney almost passing out, but not surprisingly edited out the day Savannah had a “panic attack” due to being stressed about not knowing dances and went back to her room and didn’t dance. Why is it ok that Kat and Maddie continually make mistakes in these clips, but they want us to believe that Hannahs paleness should be considered as a viable reason she is on the radar. Why is it ok that certain dancers get passes? Don’t answer that, I already know the answer.  I said from the start that the editing would be out of control this year but they are taking it to a level that is even egregious for them.
