If they ever bring locker room tours back; someone needs to print out about 100 of Brennan's IG post and tape them around the room.

Outside of Kat, Savannah, and Victoria, I would strongly disagree with this that first list. And Brennan is one of my favorites. Kristin literally speaks Spanish and does sign language. Charlotte even posted about her once.

Well, miles vary & all but here’s what I’m thinking:

 

Dance: Savannah, Brianna, Cianna, Madeline, Kristin

Ambassador: Maddie

Both: Kat, Lisa, Victoria

This is the most out pouring I've witnessed for a vet getting cut in DCC history. Ugh. I'm so sad and frustrated for the cut vets. So far, Brennan is the only one  to issue a statement/ post. Beautifully said by Brennan.  I hope Hannah, Lily, and Meredith are ok. 😞

I was just thinking back to when Kelli fake cried to give the impression that Lily and Meredith were cut from the squad last year during the team announcement.  Now look where Lily and Meredith are now...was she crying when she actually cut them?  But REAL tears this time!  🤬

I find her to be incredibly fake. Maybe it’s her playing it up for the cameras and she’s a completely different person, but that’s what bothers me. Add in her pounds of makeup and her fake hair, I can’t understand why everyone keeps glowing about her.

I always hated that announcement  for the rest of the team. I feel like the other rookie girls missed the joy of being announced as part of the team because the focus was on Lily and Meredith and not on the rookie class as a whole. Nothing against Lily or Meredith, I just personally didn't like that announcement.

Any insider goss on how it was announced this year? I wonder if they put them all in a room then announced them one by one, like they would at auditions?

I logged on 90 minutes ago and saw the board had exploded. And now that I’m caught up, damn it. 

Brennan has been one of my favorites for years. She got cut while Kalisa the stripper made it. She was class, grace, and just steady as a rock. And I freaking love her fashionista side. You can tell what she brought to the team on and off the field. FU Kelli. 

Hannah was a head turner. Totally shocked at this.

Brennan may be a "local celebrity" to Texas or Dallas.  But I would say most people wouldn't know who she is if she were to be on DWTS as a celebrity.  

[DCCFan2021]

Holy flipping heck. I'm off my computer for ONE FREAKING DAY and this happens? I'm still in shock after reading through the 10+ pages that popped up in the last 24 hours. While I have my personal feelings towards every lady on the team, both good and bad, I still maintain that TPTB should have kept every veteran this year unless they did something completely inexcusable, considering that you need people who have already proven themselves to be worthy ambassadors for the club. Dancing should not be the main focus this year, because the DCC will be lucky to have many dancing opportunities. And during this time of crisis, DCC should focus on appealing to their current audience, NOT worrying about keeping fans of the show interested. And how do you do that? By encouraging and showing off your veterans, especially the fan favorites! But NOOOOO, they chose to cut some of the fan faves, for what appears to be storylines. We've basically gotten as much confirmed by some of the insiders, and I'm appalled that they would choose to cut these ladies, of everyone on the team. Meredith, Lily, Hannah, and especially Brennan are all inspiring come-back stories - Lily and Brennan were both in TC multiple times, Hannah mentioned on the show and in her media day interview that her rookie year was her fourth time auditioning, and Meredith was given a big come-back storyline after being a Kelli favorite her first year. And yes, out of these four only Hannah was every a stand-out dancer (cough cough SG her rookie year cough cough), but I personally don't think any of them were trainwrecks, with the possible exception of Meredith, and I still think that another year without the pressure of being a rookie would have helped her greatly, just as it did with Brennan and others! So WHY THE FREAKING HECK would you cut four veterans, who are beloved by the fans, on the LAST NIGHT of TC, in a year where the things you need most are MATURITY and GRACE and APPROACHABILITY, in favor of girls who you've NEVER worked with before, have seen for TWO WEEKS, and who have some serious drama already circling around them? It makes ZERO SENSE.

To Lily, Meredith, Brennan, and Hannah, if you happen to read this: I am sincerely sorry that this has happened to you, and you all deserved so much better. I hope that you remember that DCC is not the only goal in life, and that you have been loved and looked up to by many during your tenure. Go forward and kill it in life - I know that you all can!

To any of the ladies currently on the squad reading this: I know that you all realize you lost some amazing teammates this year, and I really hope that this opens your eyes to the incompetence currently prevalent in TPTB. You are all beautiful, talented, and incredibly inspiring, and you are not being treated nearly as well as you deserve to be. Whether you choose to continue with the squad after this year or retire, I hope you take into consideration that you are amazing ladies that deserve the best in life, and many people (myself included) don't think you will get that from DCC.

To anyone still reading this crazy long response: thanks for sticking with me, rant is finally over.

Thank you 2020. You've destroyed graduations, weddings, and now Brennan.  I hope Kelli and Judy get smashed by an out of control Veruka turn.  I hope they all get quarantined and gain 30 pounds and get fired by Charlotte for "not upholding the DCC look".  I hope the Jones family loses all their money and the team is bought by a Parisian equity firm who fires the cheerleaders and replaces them with Mimes.  

Brennan, you are a woman among little Barbie girls. You are well spoken, dedicated and a complete human being.  I don't have to wish you well because you are a winner who will do great things.  You were my favorite DCC since 1979. 

I hope a house falls on the bubble and flattens Kelli, Judy, and that god awful Victoria.  Thank you for listening to me rant.  I would like to say I'm joking but...not really.

Seabiscuit wasn't the easiest Thoroughbred horse to get along with. History has it was that he was rather ill-tempered. He was also rather plain-looking: smaller than the average Thoroughbred, and a basic, brown color. Unlike the much taller, flashier, War Admiral, who was nearly black in color.

Kentucky girl whose best friend owned a horse farm here.  Most Thoroughbred horses are bad tempered and high strung.  They can be hard to ride.  Seabiscuit was fairly average as far as temperament goes.

Oh, man...that DWTS target demographic totally did tho.  I still watched The Bachelor religiously back then as a guilty pleasure, and woooooooo US Weekly and People and morning talk shows were all over that juicy situation. It legit was the most dramatic rose ceremony (of sorts) ever. And from the wiki, “Episode 10, the After the Final Rose Special had the highest rated number ever in this special episode in The Bachelor history.” And this was season 13! Plus a few Bachelorette seasons had aired at that point.

Over 17 million viewers, which isn’t huge numbers for a decade ago, but there was so much sympathy nationwide for Melissa.  It always makes me chuckle when Kelli et al refer to Melissa Rycroft as going from shy guy DCC to DWTS champion, because she ONLY got there because she was dumped on national television for The Bachelor’s second choice. And good for her for jumping on that opportunity!

Omgee, dying about the mimes. And if Charlotte gains 30 lbs, she’ll actually look like a regular human. 

As literally nearly every poster has commented, Brennan is seriously such a class act. I was so incredibly impressed when I heard her on whatever version of the DCC podcast was on last summer. And with her Insta post, I see that it isn’t just an act. She really is that eloquent, classy, and true to herself. I like her even more now  

I wish I could be as eloquent as Brennan when discussing Hannah’s cut. Im still trying to even process it. She was genuinely one of my current favorites. I was lamenting Hannah’s cut to my husband (who barely tolerates my interest in this show and in the DCC in general). When I showed him Hannah’s pictures, he said, “Holy smokes! If she was released, what do the other girls look like?!” So I showed him a screen cap of an Insta story of Daphne during the swimsuit calendar shoot last year where she was so skinny her hip bone practically poked your eyes out through the screen. 💀

Since the beginning - and I mean THE BEGINNING for those of us who’ve been around since Season 1 on the Television Without Pity forums - I’ve defended KelFin’s right to run her team as she saw fit.  I may not have agreed with every decision, but in the end it’s her team, it’s her vision. But starting in 2018, I really think she has just lost sight - and control - of things.

I’ll probably be one of the ones who no longer watches the show. (Im only announcing this so I can ask you all to be very thorough in your posts on the forum next season 🤣). I don’t care to watch and see “how it’s going to play out when it’s aired” because we all know that they can craft whatever storyline they want to make them seem like the Good Guys still. (For anyone who has been on the forum and read/remembers my posts, my college roommate was a post production editor for a reality show and one of my current colleagues was actually ON a reality show.). What you see is definitely a carefully cultivated storyline, and the truth of what actually happened be damned.

I had a whole diatribe typed out about how I just don’t see the need for DCC anymore. I deleted it cause this is neither the time nor the place. Plus this is already a really long post. I do hope one of the girls either come on here or posts somewhere about their take on what really happened. But for now, my heart just hurts for Hannah, Brennan, Lily, and Meredith.

I’ve already had my rant about Hannah’s cut so now I need one about my second fave for catharsis 😂

It is absolutely mind-boggling to me that in this weird, unprecedented year where they MORE THAN EVER need girls who are intelligent, loyal, hardworking, well-spoken, compassionate, reliable and good ambassadors in order to keep the team together...

...that they cut....BRENNAN. 

Who has proven herself to be the living embodiment of all those qualities since her first audition!

AND THEN she goes and responds in the classiest way possible, which makes me like and respect her even more, especially since it makes the DCC org look even more ridiculous 😂

Like....what a joke. As someone else said, you have two AMAZING ambassadors for this particular tough point in history RIGHT THERE with Brennan and Hannah.

I know they make the girls give everything back but they should let those girls keep their uniforms if they want to, at least the boots. The thought of them having to be all humble and hand back their uniforms that they’ve more than earned and had unfairly taken away honestly makes me feel embarrassed for the DCC org. 

 

[Lona]

You know near the end of TC these past couple of years we always talk about the "mass exodus" that never really happens the following year, but I believe the real exodus that helped lead us to where we are today was in 2017 when the likes of Amy T., Melissa Wallace, Megan C,. Danielle and Jennifer retired. Left a HUGE vacuum that I feel K&J and CMT are still searching to fill to this day.

Also, I feel that the squad could be announced in days if not hours yet no one cares anymore lol. For very good reasons, of course ;).

Kelli q. also had to audition a gazillion times and was SG throughout her tenure. Kelli herself said that she didn’t know how she hadn’t noticed her before. And no offense to her but she had a strangle look, compared to her Hanna was a stereotypical beauty for sure. Also, it’s not that uncommon to audition multiple times, but given that she got SG both years, as well as a Barbie, pretty much proves that she was strong enough. Now if it was weight, why would they wait until the last day to cut her? It’s not like they were expecting her to lose the weight within a week to earn her spot back.

On 8/19/2020 at 9:24 PM, TUOwl84 said:

It's time for Kelii and Judy to retire and bring in KaShara as director and Jennifer Colvin or Michelle Keyes as choreographer!

Kelli should have retired years ago. I said it before on here. I think she is developed dementia. One minute she wants "a world class" person. Like Kelli Q for example. I laughed so damn hard when Kelli Finglass was like "clean, perfect etc, how many times have you tried out?". I found it hilarious when Kelli Q told her "this is my 4th year" and Kelli's reply of "how have I not noticed it". Its like er Kelli if you never noticed her why the hell is there shots of you in the locker room actually LOOKING AT HER from 2 previous seasons? Like what were they? Were they photoshopped in with a piece of paper with Kelli Q's face with the words "KELLI QUINN" above that on those 2 previous seasons?

The idea of Kelli making a "example" of a COVID-19 survivor makes my blood boil. I mean, is it just me or are the optics of this horrible? They could have kept Brennan on the squad and made a "hero's story" out of her battle and recovery. Especially since there are not going to be performances on the field this season anyway!!!! This is just mind-blowing.

Thats because Kelli doesn't exactly do emotional support or have a brain. She even told Judy that she would know when her daughter was lying and yet cannot see herself lying. Like look at Milan, was she lying when she asked for a meeting and left? If there had been more support would Milan have stayed. Same as Hannah who said in season 9 that she wanted to lose the weight in a healthy way without causing damage <coughs Courtney Cook. But they kept Veronica because she was the face of Nike at the time and they weren't exactly going to cut her because of that are they? 

On 8/19/2020 at 11:44 PM, rungirl46 said:

EXACTLY.  Especially Brooke who endured a season ending injury during training camp and was not cut.

But wasn't Brooke injury caused by someone in the team during kickline? So I guess Kelli was like "Brooke didn't cause that herself someone else  on the team caused it". To this day I still want to know who it was, cause I can't remember who it was that caused it.

 

It is such a shame that Brennan and Hannah got cut. I guess Kelli does not appreciate or did not care much about the girls health and well being too much. I hate to say this but theres a part of me that thinks, I hope Kelli gets covid and then turn up to work and expect to "run" as her normal self without any side effects, like she wanted Brennan to and see how she likes it. Karma.

 

I cannot believe that the girls twitter handle wasn't changed like previous years esp the retired DCC's.

Well technically Brennan just got fired, so unless the nondisclosure is in her contract, she’s not obligated to them anymore.

Yes we do, she did an Instagram story about COVID and wearing a mask.  Well, at least they won't focus on that on the show, how heartless will Kelli look that she cut someone who recovered from a very feared disease??  But I won't know what they put on the show, I will NOT be watching. 

She had it twice in fact...that's what she said in her posting about being cut last night.  Once in April and again in June.  You can tell she did not agree with her cut BUT Brennan being Brennan, was a class act.  There is no way I could have maintained the level of class and eloquence she did.  As I said yesterday, I won't put another minute into watching the show.  I will keep up with things here, and hopefully (although I know it won't happen) several of their strong vets walk.  TPTB made it VERY obvious that dedication, loyalty and ability (even if she wasn't the strongest...she was better than others who stayed) mean NOTHING to them.  All they want is drama and ratings.

I adore that Brennan’s teammates are showering her with admiration and respect! Proofs in the puddin KJC you made a major mistake!

As much as I hate to hear about the cuts and what “they’ve” done to the squad, if there’s ever a year to NOT have thunderstruck, dancing on the field, or a point.I’m semi glad it’s this years squad after hearing how all this unfolded. I can’t stomach another season with Maddie (or potentially Tess and Lexie - major yawn) at point. 

I think Caroline could handle her own at point as she currently stands, but one more season will provide her with the confidence to shine even more!!! I’m now becoming glad this season won’t have a point. The quicker Maddie, Tess, Lexie get out of that triangle the more room we’ll have for some others to bring beauty and poise and grace back to this team!! 

Team Caroline!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Would also like to add Bri is really growing on me after her vlog and posts regarding Brennan.

The blow of Brennan being cut has not lessened on day 2. Still can't believe that the Cowboys Organization cut their Covid survivor. If ever TPTB should consider a decision reversal, this is it. Not that Brennan should return-the Cowboys don't deserve her.

Kelli, Judy, and the Cryptkeeper can all go straight to hell in a hand basket with gasoline drawers on. I can understand Meredith and Lily but Brennan and Hannah? BRENNAN AND HANNAH? All to keep a dancer who falls out of her turns, lied about a medical condition AND lied about one of the most notable and sweetest vets, gained 10+ pounds in a few weeks, threw a goddamn temper tantrum because she didn’t make SG, and is notoriously a mean girl?? And y’all know I love me some Kat but to go on another team and fraternize when you got kicked off your previous team for the same bullshit, and KJC not kick her off?? Are you kidding me??

This organization, or actually, this SHIT SHOW, has become a joke. An utter joke. When you begin to care more about ratings and your own personal relationship with your dancers vs what actually makes a great team, it’s time for you to go. And it’s been time for the 3 blind mice to go. I’ve lost whatever little respect I had left for K&J at this point.

Hannah will flourish wherever she goes. She is talented, beautiful, sweet as sugar. This is just one door closing for her that will open a plethora of other doors that will offer her the opportunities of a lifetime.

Brennan, my sweet Brennan, she deserves more than this. BETTER than this. She worked so hard to be on this shit show of a team, only to be met with scraps from a director still trying to live out her glory days, a frog on a goddamn log, and an expired bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch. 
 

I wish all four ladies the best post-DCC. And as far as it goes, I will not be watching this season just like I didn’t watch last season. KJC and The Kalinas AND Miss Kat can all shove it.

Brennan’s post was PERFECT. Literally she is the definition of class act.

THEY are the reason they not get 150 people auditioning every year even though they love to stretch the truth and say 600 people. I’m bitter about this cut and will remain bitter about it. 

Oh I hope there's a mass exodus at the squad photo shoot...OR none of the 3-4 yr vets show up for it. I am so ready for these girls to stand up to the organization and give them a big EFF YOU!!!  Being a DCC isn't the do all be all ya know!!

Brennan's post is such a class act.  Brennan has shown what these women should be a classy, articulate woman.   It is not a good look for the team to cut a Covid survivor and go with the unknown.   Brennan's journey and display of perseverance should be admired.  I love Marshal's post because he has shown us he calls it like he sees it.  Brennan has shown us what a true friend she is when she took in Bridget, and when she gave Gabby a beautiful going away party.  I hope Brennan does amazing things.  I am sure if times were different there were have been a big IHOP breakfast.

Lily, Meredith, and Hannah have not posted.  I hope they find the strength to post for people to show their support.  I hope these ladies remember they did make the team and got to live out their dream even if it is a short time.

Is Briana referring to this turtleneck?  

 

Yeesh, love her but she needs to burn this dress.

I dunno, the dress is weird but I kind of love it. It makes Brennan look like a Bond Girl. Can't you just see her suddenly turning and firing a poison dart into somebody?

Tess was probably afraid to rock the boat.  Can you imagine being VKs group leader?  Scary and nerve wracking!  VK probably held the power with her mama, with the backing of Kelli.

Tess wouldn't have rocked the boat in any situation.  She has no backbone.   Kash...may be employed by DCC now BUT I have no doubt, if she has something to say....she will say it in her own way.  I also don't think she'd hesitate to walk if they treated her badly.
