The problem isn't the panic attack itself (or not being able to continue to dance because of it), but WHY she had the panic attack in the first place. If a 4 year vet really doesn't know (or can't pick up) the dances -- THAT is a problem that should not be excused. Ignoring that but putting someone on the chopping block for looking "pale" and "unhappy" is ridiculous.

As someone with anxiety I can tell you that you don't have to have a reason to have a panic attack. Just general stress can bring one on. Or nothing in particular. I've had a panic attack come on just walking down the street. The point is that you can't say that there needs to be more sympathy for one person's mental health while mocking someone else.

I’ve been trying to stay off the boards because I’m not watching this season, but YouTube suggested a mini clip involving the most recent episode, and like an idiot I watched it. And now I’m a frothing, pissed off, honey badger. Kat? Is a disaster. No spinning it. She bad. Hannah too pale? DEEEEEEEP BREATHES. Someone gonna die. I know these ladies have heard of self tanner. She’s incredible. If you’d like her to smile more, be less fierce (something she’s been praised up and down for) then TELL HER, and I’m sorry Brennan looked fandamntastic. Watching Hannah’s Instagram stories with her mom in PPE gear just breaks my heart. That this is the reason she was cut makes me want to BURN THINGS. We lost an elementary school teacher at my son’s school to covid and my grandfather. That they’re pretending this is anything other than what it is has me rabid. Anyway. I have missed y’all. I’m off to take a Xanax and do some deep breathing. Maybe purchase a voodoo doll...

Hahaha Honey Badger Kat but yep, that whole scene sent me over the edge bc my God she's that bad but thinks bc she plays cutesy its fine and sadly it is fine bc she's still on the team... Nothing says world class like a veteran who cannot keep up with the rookies and acts like a dumb blonde.

And yeah Hannah, you hit the nail on the head she's been praised for being fierce but suddenly that's not okay? She's making noise with her poms isn't that what Kelli screeches? Yet suddenly she's pale and not worthy of her spot? So you're telling me the Honey Badger is more worthy of a spot? OMG now i'm pissed again...

Kat seems to be a “love or hate kind of person” But as much as I like her sparkle, her entire attitude  (airhead and speaking without thinking, reacting completely over the top)makes me cringe...

positive vibe? Yes for sure, accident in waiting? Definitely. I would absolutely never put her in any type of spokesperson position! She has no control over that mouth nor clue about what her words might do to others. Basically like Victoria...I am just waiting for the moment she is going to greatly embarrass the DCC...

I know I am meant to be watching hannah in this clip but I couldn't stop watching Gina. She seemed off compared to the rest of the girls.

LOL I think it's because she's in between 2 taller/leggier girls so when she dropped low into that wide second plie she went WAY lower than the girls next to her

I know you don't have to have a reason for a panic attack, but the original post said it was because she didn't know the dances. That is what I take exception to. I don't care how many panic attacks she has (as far as whether she deserves to be on the team or not**), but a 4 year vet not knowing the dances is a problem.

**Although, if the panic attack had another, unknown origin (as in just suddenly came on out of the blue in practice), don't you also have to wonder if she is now capable & trustworthy to be on the field? If, for whatever reason, she has become prone to sudden panic attacks, being a DCC on the field in front of thousands probably isn't the best place for her.

I know the Hannah cut is tough on so many but am I the only one who think she looks pissed off when she dances? Not just this season too. It’s like a sexy look but looks annoyed to be there. Not very cheerleader like. 

But remember, Cassie said it was okay to not be "all smiley!"

I am with you totally.  There's no way that all the vets except Brennan and Lisa assumed that it was "dress like an interview" day and those two made a different assumption.  We're talking about an org that gives them pics of which outfits to wear to practice - they were told and choices were made.  Lisa, oh Lisa.  I think she thought it was cool and ok because of the stars.  But no, hon, it wasn't.  Even with high heels and good jewelry, you were wearing a mismatched jeans and tops combo, and the jeans were ill-fitting.  But Brennan?  I can't even.  Yes, she is generally fashionable.  Someone here or on FB said her outfit was chique.  Any one of the pieces properly combined would have been fine.  Those jeans with a long flowy shirt and platform shoes?  Cute!  But not those pieces combined in that way.  I know this is not the popular opinion here.  I'll see myself out.........................

(But I do love Brennan and all of her dancing they have shown has been great.)

I couldn't agree more with everything you said!   Lisa, uh uh. Just no.    

 And I recall the comment on how chic and trendy Brennan's outfit was ~ but that doesn't mean it's appropriate in every setting!  I don't dislike Brennan ~ I think she's a lovely young lady with class and integrity. And her performance ability, I think she's fine.   This too being unpopular- with some of the rookies' rockstar performances- I'm not devastated or completely shocked that she was cut.  I thought this is what this forum is about.  The fact that it was said that I need to focus on criticizing Lisa instead or to leave Brennan alone...... if we can't voice our opinion, I have no intention to stop doing so!!

I think also Gina's is really powerful sometimes and over does it on some moves that looks like she's off, which is kind of how i feel Marissa dances. Now I want them both to dance side by side and see how that looks. 🤔

I'm getting more and more frustrated by the vet cuts this year (except Meredith). The cuts that seem obvious from the show are not the people who ended up being cut. I am more confused than ever about why the kept Alora-Rose and Kat after this past episode. 

In terms of Hannah's paleness, it seems a bit tone-deaf during a pandemic AND to ask a redhead to have a deep tan. On top of that, I don't understand why they didn't just say "hey, can you tan a bit". They told Kali Fullerton to soften her eye makeup as a TCC waaaayy back when. It's no different in my opinion than any employer giving you constructive feedback about what to improve on.

If I remember correctly, Lisa and Brennan weren't the only two in jeans. Lisa stands out because her outfit is just ugly. Brennan stands out because she was front and center & people on here are speculating on what excuse Kelli will give for cutting her.

ETA: And there are plenty of comments bashing Brennan's outfit back when it first came up (p. 150 or so); so, yes, negative comments about Brennan are okay -- there are plenty and will continue to be (just don't expect the "Brennan Backers" (is that correct @ByTor?😁) to agree with you anytime soon and not defend her).

ETA2: And now I'm getting these ads. Would these meet with Kelli's approval?😆😅😂

I saw that on Insta last night!  I had no idea she'd had COVID.

 

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!!!!  

A doctor friend of mine told me that our of all cases that lose taste and smell, as many as 50% haven’t gotten it back after 6 weeks. They’re not sure if it’s permanent in some people or what.

Haha no worries!!! It's probably best I don't see Tara's cut again bc it absolutely crushed me for her, still does & when someone compared Hannah's cut to Tara's it brought up all the old feelings, omg I need a life! But I just hate the way TPTB play with these girls emotions its so wrong.

Not sure who mentioned above but they were spot on with Kelli not taking kindly to the ladies that are clearly smarter than her. She definitely seems to favor the 'dumber' girls so she can manipulate them... 

Tara’s cut along with all the VK bullshit going on that year really turned me off on the show. I’ll watch it if I happen to catch it but won’t pay for it. It no longer has the same appeal and is more of a TPTB dog and pony show than a show about making the team. Mostly tired of both the favoritism and the blacklisting of the women, the inconsistency is aggravating.

Gina is always just a little more - a little extra than most of the girls which makes her appear off sometimes. TBH I think they put her next to Hannah on purpose because Hannah is also really finishing every move and so it doesn't look as different.

Now, I do question their logic though if they stick with the "Hannah can't dance storyline."  If that is the case, then why did they put Hannah (who they say can't vibe with pom style),  and Brennan -(who they say blends and is borderline), and Lily- (who they say is weak), and Meredith/Kat- (who they admit make mistakes) all in the same group last year? Something was up with that group!!! All the cuts from the same one. Make it make sense!

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.

I love Kat’s look and personality, but she was extremely lucky to make the team last year. She was completely lost for most of TC last year, at least the parts they showed. If it wasn’t for Meredith’s struggles, it would’ve been even more glaring. You know it’s bad when even I think the two best looking rookies should’ve been cut.

Oh! Maybe it was on the seasons I purchased from Amazon! I need background noise to drown out my husband’s conference calls while we both work from home so I usually put Pluto on first.  But if it’s a season I’ve seen 1000 times I’ll head over to Amazon and put on 13 or 14. I’m sorry if I got hopes up, please forgive me!🥺

Oh no worries at all! I just wondered if you had unlocked the magical world past Season 12 on Pluto! And I'm totally on board with the background noise. I had to lol when you said you were drowning out the hubby's conf calls 😂 I keep my TV on almost all the time just to keep it from being so quiet (I live alone) although it is easy to get distracted while working especially when the good episodes come on (like today when "toxic Chelsea" was getting tossed off the team!) Certain episodes never get old!

I saw this reposted on Caroline's story with Ashlee, Caroline, Victoria, and Kelcey kicking. 

When I first looked at this I read the highlighted information in red, then immediately looked at the feet above. Without looking any further I know exactly which one was Victoria. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Perfect figure, in great shape, beautiful, fun to watch

I am #TeamKat.  She wasn't her best in this episode,  I'll begrudgingly admit that.   But she was not the worst on the field..... that was Annabelle, Alora-Rose, and Meredith.

Kat had some serious pop doing the field entrance....I couldn't take my eyes off of her and Elli.  I remember over the summer when Kat did the podcast "Boots in the Bubble" with Kashara and she said she had a breakthrough....I think she's gonna turn it around.... I'm still rooting for her. 

I don't get why Sheridan was cut....I personally think it was the calling Kelli "girl" that sealed her fate bc her dancing was powerful.

I agree. Kat is my girl and I was rooting for her since last season even when she was struggling. She still seems to be but she is definitely not the worse one on the field. I know she is capable of turning things around.

And as for Sheridan, once she called Kelli "girl" that was a done deal. There was no turning back, unfortunately.

Lol, right? I got kinda irrationally angry when I rewatched Taras cut. Remembering all the scuttle from the forums at the time, I tried to pay attention to the editing and what was said. For those not around at the time, it was that Tara complained privately to someone she trusted about Victoria’s extra special treatment and then was betrayed by said person. True? I dunno. But for me,Tara’s “I don’t want to let you off so easily” is telling. 

Yes! Isn’t that Item #1 on the checklist for How To Be A Dictator For Dummies? Keep the masses uneducated and scared. They are easier to control.  

There was for sure some hijinks in the Tara editing...but honestly, she looked to me like she was struggling.  I was never a big Tara fan from her rookie year...short legs, blender, etc.  But I liked her personality and she definitely had an approachable, sporty cute vibe.  I love peeps like this on the squad, alongside the glam girls, super athletic/buff, etc.

But she looked run down to me for her veteran camp, starting with the swimsuit photo shoot and her office visits.  Seemed like more of an outside of DCC, real life issues she wasn't able to work through while sparkling for the DCC.  So while upset for her and her teammates as she seemed much beloved, it didn't seem like she needed to be on the squad that year.

I'm also a huge Kat fan and supporter.  The thing with Kat is that she messes up, but when she's on, she's a star and you can't take your eyes off her.

When Meredith gets it right, you just feel relieved she didn't mess up.  But I wouldn't say she stands out in a group of dancers.

Lily and Brennan unfortunately are not the strongest dancers in the group - clean but blenders.  And as someone mentioned above, it really does sound like Lily is on the verge of tears whenever she speaks.  I just think they were outdanced by prettier blonde rookies - Dani and Jessica are both stunning.  I always notice them in the groups when they are dancing, and it's pretty amazing considering half the time they are wearing masks and you can still see their beauty.  

So far, this hasn't been my favorite season to watch (it seems very one-note because it's 8 episodes of dancing in a hotel conference room), but bigger picture I'm excited by the group of Rookies.  They have amazing, exciting dancers (Amanda, Ashlee, Kelcey, Chandi, Caroline, Amber, Armani, Darian) and also some of the prettiest girls in a while (Rachel W, Kat, Darian, Dani, Jessica).  Especially after two seasons of such "Meh" leaders and points (Amy, Maddie, Tess, snooze city).

What's so crazy to me is Brennan is always beautifully dressed whether to a wedding or present Abby bear. Why all the sudden would she show up in jeans and a basic tank to an important meeting. Something smells fishy here. 

Also .....does Judy even talk anymore? She very rarely smiles and has a very flat affect. Sometimes I think it's just a statue of Judy and she's out shopping or something.

I LOVE Kat.. have from day one. I love her personality and I don't personally think she comes off ditzy.. just more like she's trying to be funny. Can't say the same for Meredith.. to me she is the one who seems ditzy lol. Almost like she's half asleep all the time. 

That being said.. Kat isn't the best dancer. I wonder if Kat was scouted for the team? There are DCC scouts that approach girls on college dance teams and on other pro teams and Kat was a Charlotte Honeybee dancer in NC.. so it's highly possible she got approached and told to audition for DCC. If she got scouted, they might give her a little more leeway than another girl because they personally hand picked her and told her they'd like her to audition.

Sometimes I wonder if Judy is fed up with the ridiculous antics and knows her opinions will be overruled by Kelly. Time and time again the team has had dance strugglers that I assume Judy would not pick for the team if it was up to her. Maybe she's just staying quiet for a few more years before retiring?

that reminds me of that one gif of victoria falling out of turn where judy looks horrified but immediately becomes jovial when she sees kelli’s reaction. when victoria was in seasons and 13 and 14, judy didn’t seem to care nearly as much as kelli did. maybe she’s mum because she knows her spawn benefited from nepotism as well, but i also like to think she’s sick of kelli’s shit and is never going to agree, so just keeps quiet to preserve peace/her job. i remember either she or kelli said that judy prefers the technical dancers while kelli is a sucker for a pretty face—so yeah again i like to think she’s sick of kelli’s shit. she didn’t seem nearly as taken by kat and meredith as kelli was, for example

Who is that behind Maddie in front of CIanna, holy chubby (DCC chubby) wow, and Cianna and Maddie both look chubby too. Again, if they had proper fitting costumes they'd probably look great!!!

Also, re: Kat, clearly nobody in her friendship circle is reading this board bc they're not doing her any favors. If you're a friend of Kat, for the love of all that is good and holy, tell her to act like a mature young lady the whole ditzy thing is such a turnoff & makes her sooooo unlikable...
