2020 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp

[DutchDccFan2.0]

So I guess I missed the groups, who is in which group?

[DCC-UK]

Kelli has officially lost the plot. Hannah was an absolute firecracker of a performer so she could never get out-danced. She has a little more junk in the trunk compared to others but she’s always been super slim otherwise! If she wanted to concentrate on school, she would’ve retired or not entered the bubble. I am livid about this decision, but think it might be to do with her social media. She’s posted a lot on Insta stories about equality and injustice, when DCCs aren’t usually entitled to an opinion, unless it aligns with the Jones’.

I am just as mad about Brennan. Whilst she’s not the strongest in Pom style, she’s certainly not the weakest. She offers so much more to the team: intelligence, poise, maturity, leadership, perseverance. 

Lily and Meredith, I can deal with, they barely made the squad last year. 

If this is all for drama and ratings, I don’t think I can watch anymore. I hope the rest of the squad either leave now in protest or retire once the season is over.

We haven't found out yet

[topicanti]

If an insider has info on Hannah’s cut, please make it make sense.

I agree with not pointing fingers until everything is known yet, but I doubt either Hannah or Brennan would have spent all week in the bubble if they were going to decide to leave for personal reasons. 

Good point actually!

My guess is that Brennan isn't fully recovered from her illness yet and therefor couldnt keep up. With Hannah it is gonna be interesting. Maybe she lost her spark? I mean didnt she tried out 2 times before actually making trainingcamp

Meredith and lily I can understand as though lily was lovely she didnt really have the look.

Brennan I can even kinda get, maybe she was struggling after her illness and just couldn't keep up?

But Hannah, what the hell did she do? She always seemed so solid and such a potential star. It makes me wonder if something else was going on that we dont know about?

I am shocked. Not as much with Lily (I'm sad about that) or Meredith (since we knew that one earlier). 

Having had the Covid 19 virus myself, I am still dealing with extreme fatigue 2 months later and have zip, zero, nada stamina, so I would imagine if Brennan was cut, that would be the main reason why. I am still very saddened by this one. I wish they could keep her on in some capacity. Her sweet and mature demeanor would be an asset to them all.

With Hannah, I am very shocked. Unless she had weight gain (can't remember if I saw any photos of her recently) or she "cut" herself as she felt she needed more time to spend on her graduate work, I cannot imagine why. She is a very talented dancer and seems to get along well with everyone.

Bridget was really upset in her quickly deleted post, perhaps one of TPTB was extremely rude/out of line  during the final office visit?

Thank you, @Bennie for supplying us with the info.

The girls are devastated to lose 4 vets: Meredith, Lily, Brennan, and Hannah.  😢

not even reading any further yet, I'm not surprise about Meredith, sad for Lily and Hannah, absolutely pissed off plaid and purple about Brennan! Kelli this has to be the shadiest thing you have ever done. At this point I'm done! I will follow here but I refuse to watch anymore I'll get summaries from anyone who does. I'm going home today and deleting the show from my DVR.

[MirabelMadrigal]

Bridget called the cuts "grossly disrespectful" and an "unwarranted dismissal," so I personally highly doubt that Brennan and Hannah both decided to leave on their own. They were mercilessly cut. No way can I overlook the fact that the four cut vets were all in the same group (with certain other people).

You can just say Victoria and Lisa, it is already known how the forum feels about them 😂

[MirabelMadrigal]

I am HERE FOR IT if the vets decide to walk out. I doubt they will, but this is their moment to take a stand and do something heroic to try to right several wrongs.

I’m out, too. I can name many, many vets before Hannah that should have been cut for a dance, weight, or ambassador-related reason. There’s simply no excuse. If they sacrificed Hannah for drama or because of something another vet did/wanted, which is the only logical explanation in my mind, then they can kiss my viewership goodbye. 

[ExtremeFajitas]

Wow, I am sad to hear about Lily, but stunned about Brennan and Hannah.  I am very interested to see how their cuts play out on the show.

Exactly. If Kat who acts like she's got brain damage, Lisa who has a track record of being wildly unpopular because she's a sneaky rat, and Victoria whose shitty track record we've seen can stay, but TPTB are drawing the line at BRENNAN? HANNAH??? Lilly?? Please. Fucking PLEASE don't ask me to do a frontal lobotomy this morning and pretend that the Vic in Victoria means Victim, because I don't have it in me today for that bullshit.

How utterly disappointing and disheartening. We follow this team because of the inspirational and aspirational woman who are a part of it. Cutting dancers like Hannah and Brennan is unfathomable to me.

ByTor is going to be the maddest ever!

I know, she is going to be so very upset. Come to think of it, I am very upset as well. 

My curiosity is still with Bridget's post. I think her post hinted at more than just a reasonable cut being made. Someone doing the cutting must have been truly out of line or she is referring to the disloyalty with the possible Kat situation, or VK/TK involvement. 

[SmpIsimon]

The girls were blindsided and all for ratings.  I don't know how these people sleep at night.

Exactly, Victoria already gets the blame for Brennana cut and that is just unfair. I think we jumping way too soon into conclusions

As far as I'm concerned, Miss Princess Entitled Kleptoria has earned every ounce of dislike she garners.  By choosing someone with Victoria's lack of sensitivity over the maturity and heart of Brennan & Lily, K&J (and possibly Charlotte), showed their true cards.  What an utter dive they have taken from any credibility and respectability.

The speed at which Kelli and Judy just lost this team is actually astonishing. Vets are NOT happy. You don’t cut three of the most loved, most dedicated, and well rounded teammates for people you’ve known for 2 weeks and expect people to be ok with it. Especially those rookies who have noted character concerns (Marissa). And you don’t allow someone who has been sleeping with players to be swept under the rug. What a train wreck this organization has become.

Sadly, it's the remaining upper vets left to deal with the fallout in what has already proven to be a challenging year.  How utterly sad the future of the squad is to be inherited by petty, self serving ladies such as Victoria and Marissa who will be their next "leaders".  FTLOG, Marissa isn't even pretty.   You chose to keep Kat who blatantly broke one of your most cardinal rules.  If you're going to do something that inane, you should have kept Holly P.  At least she was a hell of a dancer and leaps and bounds beyond anything Kat, Marissa or Victoria could ever hope to be.

Not surprised. Kelli thinks this is Bravo and is probably hoping her and Victoria can star in Real Housewives of Dallas one day. 

[MeeMee2]

My mouth is hanging open right now  Hannah??!! CUT?? Someone please tell me this is a joke! Along with Bridget, Hannah was my  favorite DCC 😢 I know people didn't worship at her alter the way they do for Maddie or Victoria, but that girl is insanely talented! I don't get this at all. Heartbroken. Bridget's tweets make so much sense now. I didn't see Brennan coming either.

Not at all! I’m similarly outraged. The team will never come back from the ignominy of this decision. 

[Lindsay Loo Hoo]

Right, They're cutting the mature inspiring women for caddy little spoiled brats such as VK and Lisa?...As long as Vk and lisa are on this team i will not be supporting this show. I feel bad for the vets at this point who have to put up with the group of drama queens.

My guess is that Brennan hasnt recovered enough from her illness. Hannah could have decided to drop out in favour of her study

I agree.  Perhaps Brennan realized she didn't have the stamina to do four quarters of power pom dancing, so she and K&J mutually agreed that she should focus on her health.  I'm a huge Brennan fan so that's the only explanation I can accept :-).

Hey SMPISIMON!  I've missed you!  

I rescind what I said about Brennan's cut being amicable and based on her health after reading your post.  It makes me furious that they are cutting girls just for ratings.  I'm very torn. On one hand I'm curious to see how things play out, but like others on here I'm ready to delete this show from my DVR and move on.

[Cj1]

I remember last year at finals when Hannah danced and blew everyone away. Kelli said something showing how impressed she was. I also remember Cats mouth hanging open watching Hannah and  then getting up with her silly cane prop and embarrassing herself.

 

Well one year later look who's here and who's not. I just don't get it.

That is what I'm hoping, too. I really want to believe she was treated badly or just thrown to the side when she's brought so much to the team.

The more I read, the more I think they did cut Brennan and it's downright despicable. If it was for her health or a stamina issue, why not discuss that with her before TC? It makes me so sad and angry.

I don't see ratings going up because of these cuts. And, in a way, I hope they drop because of this. I'm no longer looking forward to the show and don't think I will be watching anymore.

As far I am concerned, I don't see anything why Victoria deserves to be so hated. It is not her fault people get cut, it is not her fault people lose spots on SG

[TUOwl84]

Literally all the vet cuts have been from this group.  VK is the 😈   lol

[TB12]

I'm not sure Brennan had COVID, one of her stories was about 'this guy recovering' so i assumed it was her boyfriend who had it or was sick... not that she deserved to be cut at all nor do i agree with Hannah being cut. I highly think Hannah decided to resign for school. She strikes me as smart enough to do both very successfully.

As I read the last two pages I'm stunned that people like Kat, Veruca and Lisa made the cut and these two didn't? And Jalyn didn't earn her spot back on SG? I guess I could say bless my heart that i'm surprised bc given the way TPTB have run this team straight into toxicity, I should not be surprised at all...

[DutchDccFan2.0]

Anyways, don't shoot me but I still have neutral feelings towards K,J and C. Sorry 🙈

Hannah would not enter the bubble just to resign for school.

If Hannah's departure was amicable then Bridget would not have responded like this (page 20 of this thread). Thanks for the info Holly!

Nope, not COVID, but those girls who are perceived as being in her way or insufficiently reverent of her "abilities" sure seem to consistently get cut/denied goodies.

I'm so glad, really, I just went into my husband's office and unloaded and he didn't know whether to smile and nod or call an ambulance. 

This is just SO fucked up. These girls put their faith and their hearts and their lives into this. They BELIEVE in this organization, which is more than I can say I do. Don't ANYONE @ me with "no one puts a gun to their heads". Should that be the criteria for honesty and integrity in this world?? That, unless someone's got a gun to their head, they're fair game for being abused, conned, lied to and exploited? HELL NO. So if some trusting person comes to you and you crap all over them and laugh about it, well, no one put a gun to their head, so it's ok. When I've fucked up or hurt people in the past, I hate myself forever for it! I vow to never repeat it! I feel absolutely horrible! How does money and power and fame erase and replace moral convictions?

I try to keep in mind TPTB know more than I do about DCC.  But, I can't help but think how they worked with Brooke S. when she had to have knee surgery.  If Brennan was indeed ill I wonder why they couldn't have worked with her.  It's not like they are going out on a tour or something.

[rl27rl]

If Brennan and Hannah were cut just for freaking ratings, I didn't watch last season of  DCC:MTT, I certainly won't this year.  They have lost a fan for life and I have been watching since the 2 hour special all those years ago. Cutting a great dancer like Hannah, all for ratings and to appease a selfish-spoiled-self-entitled-can't-take-criticism-mediocre-clunky-heavy-large-teeth-fake dancer like Veruca . . . yeah I am done with the show.  They always preach they want the best dancers but yet they keep Kat, Lisa and Veruca. Kelli absolutely disgusts me.
