Whats the situation with Alanna and Lily? Didn't they live together for two years even the first year when Lily didnt make the team? I just remember it being aired something like that .. but I could be mistaken?

Meagan F lived with Brooke and Julie J when they made the squad, and with Brooke and Tobie and then with Brooke and Stephanie, so I think it's how you deal with it.  If Cassie plans on trying out again, she has a home, friends, support system, I assume a job, and has become familiar with the area.

Oh Cassie didn't make the team. I was wondering why they said it's awkward for her. I'm like what? Lol

All I can say is I will miss Hannah's dancing. She is so fierce and I loved her non-conventional beauty. I hope to see her dancing again.

Someone mentioned that Hannah having history of anxiety & depression doesn’t mean she has mental health issues.  I must disagree as a health care professional.  You don’t have to have schizophrenia or bipolar to have mental health issues. It is a false assumption that to have anxiety or depression one has to act sad. People mask things that’s why often signs are missed or frankly you may be trying to fake it till you make or are just tired of people asking you what is wrong.  Then again there are those who think if you are just more positive or if you pulled yourself up by your bootstraps you would be better. Sure there are those who clearly you can tell they are in trouble as they don’t care how they look, stop going out etc.  just because someone acts happy, doesn’t mean they are.  How many times have we masked our true feelings about a situation or a relative or coworker? You hear people say they gave no symptoms they were contemplating suicide etc.  I remember a minister of a mega church on the West coast who had a son who had anxiety & depression. The family went out to eat where the son seemed relaxed, happy, & joked around. They came home & the son went upstairs & immediately shot himself.  There are lots of people struggling with depression with symptoms you do & do not see.  I believe Hannah had a lot on her plate & probably also has situational issues with the end of the courses.  If you never experience depression, nor have a friend or family member with it, consider yourself lucky.  Keep in mind that people also believe that like addiction, depression is a sign of moral failing.

I was the one that said a history of depression and anxiety does not automatically equal a current mental health problem. But you misunderstood. What I was saying was that a history of depression does not automatically mean you are always clinically depressed. People can be profoundly sad and stressed without being clinically depressed. My main reason for saying such a thing is that we cannot diagnose someone based on what we see on a reality television show  - a show that is known to distort the truth. We simply do not know. 

Really only Hannah's healthcare professional should be the one diagnosing.  We do not know what type of interaction Hannah had with K/J prior to the office visit. We also don't know what was said at the office visit. It could have been hours long. She could have been talking about COVID -- we will never see. Edits pick and choose and splice. We have no idea really.

Being deeply compassionate and empathetic and concerned for the health of the world, during a pandemic, can certainly cause people to have intense emotional responses. Yes it can lead to depression of course.  But it doesn't have to mean depression. For a correct diagnosis to be made, you'd have to know length of time and all the other environmental factors and variables. 

So, my point was that reactions to situational  stress may not at all be an indicator of poor mental health - in fact it might mean quite the opposite. Crying and being sad don't always equate to depression. It can be a very healthy healing response to stress and other life events and changes.  And yes, they certainly don't equal mental weakness either. Could it mean depression - of course. Does that need to be taken seriously? Absolutely. But no way to tell by watching DCC-MTT.

Finally watching the latest episode - seems a lot is going to go down from this thread, but I notice random things 

seems either the carpet is really messing them up or diva hosiery really isn’t that great...

That's the medical tape on her knee, not a hole or runners in the hose.

My biggest concern with Kat is that she is and always will be an ambassador risk...

This....a thousand times! ,I just rewatched her rookie season and there were quite a few moments where I thought "did you hear what you were saying?" or "Have you got any idea how you come across now?"

I would love to have a friend like Kat:  Fun, with a group of friends, definitely. Amongst football players, the Joneses, celebreties or politicians? Most definitely not! In fact, I am 100%. sure she'll make for some interesting headlines if she' staying on for a few years. Simply because she either has no control or awareness on what comes out of that mouth...

Or maybe she wanted to do DCC to land a player???

To me , it would me easier to do that at the college level. If not before...

Some  colleges are known for high draft picks. And many players do come into the league with very-attached girlfriends they met in college.

LSU sent a record of 13 players this year to the NFL. Isn't where Denise teaches ? No reason why time can't be spent getting into LSU and making that dance team, unless they too have a rule as to whom the dancers can and cannot date.

[kalibean]

Denise or Brittany? Lol. I’ve got some friends of friends of BM...she seems extra AF, but in the same way my friend is. Early 20’s, had her side hustles going Mahomes’ rookie year, sudden and very bright spotlight when he really took off.  
 

It’s a weird world we’re living in with social media and living life on the ‘gram - my friend also has a couple of small businesses and lives 24/7 on Instagram and social media, continually building her followers and fan base. They run in that same circle. IMO, seems B is trying to maintain some of her own identity while Mahomes has taken over the sports world.  They’ve been together since high school (with a break in college...both had athletic scholarships at different schools) so it’s got to all be weird and awesome at once. 
 

Not quite as punchable as Matt Stanford’s wife, but not the down to earth beauty queen of former DCC Candace “sometimes you just pee a little” Romo. I really miss her as a judge!

best for her to stay there so she doesn’t go back to where she lives in Texas or in Illinois and become a super spreader.

I’m pretty sure Hannah would not go home and ‘become a super spreader.’ If she was that concerned about contracting and transmitting the virus, she would get tested and quarantine as appropriate. 

I feel sorry for her, but I agree this wasn’t her year.

I don’t think she’d be a super spreader either but I was only saying maybe her reasoning for not leaving when she knew the bubble wasn’t really a safe bubble. 
 

I think the producers are editing it to not be her year.

It is hard to tell.  There has been such a response on social media, so was this their original plan?  Do they want us to have sympathy for her?  Are they going to show us they had no choice?

Mahomes girlfriend was sooooooo obnoxious when she was here at the Patriots game last year, being super loud in the stands then when people started talking back to her she complained fans were mean to her. That seems to be her way regardless of whatever stadium she's in. Honestly, she's the reason I root against the Chiefs...

Okay.. LOL.. looks like I picked a bad example of how football players sometimes find their spouse at the college. Here's another - same first name - met at LSU. On the pre-game show, the host was going on-and-on about  Patrick Peterson, CB/AZ skills, awards, etc.  In response, Patrick paused and said, " the real hero is my wife - a COVID first responder".  Here is the article  (  source ).

Side-note: 🙏 to all of our first responders,-  especially parents of small little babies, who had to make decisions how to keep their family at home safe.

Back to the dancers attempts in finding hubbies on the pro field - another reason for trying accomplish that task in college is they will have longer to look, select and major in MRS-NFL degree.. Every 4-5 years, if not sooner, a new crop of NFL potentials come in. Many players do come to the big universities from the JR college circuit, so that is fresh bait to chase after. I don't know how long one can be on the dance team in college, but one surely can stay in college longer hoping to get "a ring on it" before moving on the professional dance teams.

Actually - I would be a little scared to get too attached to a Dallas player. A few bad Sundays, and/or get on Jerry's bad side, and one could be traded off to another team - for better or worse.

Speaking of LSU/Denise : (1) yes Joe Burrow has a girlfriend - met in HS ( link ) and 2: did any of this year's TCC candidates go there ?

Yup and when they actually went to look at camera footage they realized she was the issue

Is today the last home game? Feel bad for the rookie cheerleaders who never got the reveal, the family night, the season of being able to post, all for a reality show that won’t name them until after their first season is over DESPITE being in a uniform for 8 games.

If there’s one thing I’d change going forward, it’s to let rookies be rookies!
 

I get there are those who don’t want to be “spoiled” but this is a cheerleading show, not “Game of Thrones” or “The Mandolorian.” I would guess that MANY, if not most, fans know who made it already.

I noticed something strange with the Game Day Instastories. 

My sister looked earlier and saw that the Takeover had already started. She told me that the first story was Tess in front of the camera talking and the second said pregame rehearsal showing Tess and a couple of her fellow deckmates practicing with Kelly watching from the stadium steps. Because the game was about to start, I looked on my own and noticed it went straight from the first story (Tess alone) to her practicing the touchdown cheer. I showed my sister and she didn't know why they would take it down since the only thing slightly off is that Kelly's mask was below her nose as she was talking (which is completely reasonable). With knowing Kelly was out last game due to contact tracing, the only reason I can see taking down the video is that Kelly hasn't finished her quarantine period. 

Just a theory seeing as I have no idea when the person she was near tested positive.

It’s already all over the Facebook pages too the screen shots of that story, didn’t realise they’d deleted it. 
 

although they also posted a picture of VK wearing her my cause my boots at the sidelines and she is also supposed to be quarantining...on the Facebook page there was a comment asking if VK had finished her quarantine 🤣

[meg.r]

I noticed that picture too, after I posted my comment. The picture was posted 3 maybe almost 4 hours ago (when the Kelly story was still up).

UPDATE to original post. 

It seems that although appearing in the instagram post from earlier today Victoria is not in her place within the formation during the takeover after halftime (her part of the deck was not shown beforehand).

Is this Armani? Bad angle or has she gained weight?

Since the rookies didn't get a 'norma'l season, I wonder what that means for training camp next year. Any at risk for being a one and done - or rather a 3/4 and done?

If getting the DCC’s to listen to her was a reason for putting down her mask down then why doesn’t she have like a mega phone? You don’t have to put down your mask and everyone will hear you 🤷🏽‍♀️ Just a thought.

I could see Kelli ignoring the last day (or last few days) of her quarantine because she doesn't think the rules apply to her (or Victoria), but then again, she may have already completed the entire 14-day quarantine already.  Does anyone know when they started in quarantine?

When Lacey Michew (former LSU Golden Girl) tried out, her boyfriend, former LSU QB had just been drafted by Green Bay.  I always thought that had some to do with Kelli not liking her.  I think she tried out for the show & her sister probably really wanted to be a DCC.

Ok so I copied and rotated the image. The things I can make out (and assuming that the three judges in this scenario are MRS, K & J.

Madeline, Victoria, Tess and Kelcey - have a yes from all 3

Hannah - has maybes from all three

Alora-Rose - No from MRS,  yes from Kelli, maybe from Judy. It also says 'V Clap' on the bottom left of her picture. 

Jada - yes from all three

Whoever is next to Jada has a maybe from all three but Kellis hand is covering the name and I dont know the TCC well enough to determine who it is

Kat - yes from all three


I have bad eyesight but also:

* It looks like it says 'November bridge' above Madeline

* 'Work line Out' is written above Kelcey - 

Neither of these make sense to me though  😅 And that's all I can work out! 
 

Tried to sharpen/adjust contrast to better read the ink lol. Above Kelcey and the page title it looks like "Alora" is written a few times. Also above Kelce looks like "being together" ??? Next to Kat looks like "dancing strong". Next to Alora-Rose looks like "v close". I agree with "Bridge" above Madeline but looks like "Monarch" above that, which makes zero sense. Can't for the life of me make out what's above Tess... other than *maybe* "frontline", but doesn't quite fit the strokes or make sense.
