The optics of cutting a teammate who actually caught Covid are mind boggling. It would have given the organization the perfect opportunity to say that the team has been personally affected by Covid and knows how harmful it can be, even to someone young and in shape. I agree. After the shock of Hannah and Brennan, I thought too how this would have been a great opportunity for DCC to make a statement, kept Brennan and make her s spokesperson for COVID and how to still be able to work hard. Wow, they totally missed the point there. I hope it's not true, but if they give the excuse because of stamina based on COVID, K/J/C are truly heartless. I have been a long time viewer, way back to the specials and season 1 when I watched with my young daughter at the time. She has long since gone off to college and lives on her own, but I was still there on Thursday nights at 10:00 watching the show. Until Season 12 and the whole Victoira is awesome, but in reality I'm looking at the screen and i'm like, WHAT!??! She's overweight, falls out of turns, and lifts here head too early and tosses it around too much (my interpretation, I'm not experienced in dance). I'm still not over Tara being cut either!!! At least Kitty is no longer on the show, grandma of TOXICITY! After that, my cable decided to consider CMT premium and I cut ties with DCC. It wasn't worth paying a premium for, the show is a joke now. Take me back to the days when Kelly is looking for "world class". I'm out, but will continue to follow along here. I'm actually glad I don't "have" to watch this season. I still haven't seen last season and "watched" through posts here but after watching Tara get cut I cannot watch the episode of Brennan and Hannah being cut. HEADS UP TO TPTB!! That is not good TV.

I guess Brennan wasn't a Kelli favorite because she'll do everything she can to keep those girls around no matter what happens to them. I just saw that episode the other day. The thing that really blew my mind was the fact she had to borrow someone else's inhaler. If she has asthma, why didn't she have her own? 12 Link to comment

ClosetDCCFan August 20, 2020 Share August 20, 2020 They say that when someone shows you who they are, you should believe them, right? Well then none of us should be surprised as to what’s going on with the current squad selection because over the last several years, the TPTB have shown us EXACTLY who they are: small, catty, privileged individuals who make decisions based on power, greed, and favoritism over talent, hard work, and integrity. You can’t put more emphasis on the ratings of a B-rate reality show than the quality of your squad without having its long term viability suffer; while you may bolster your own ego or bottom line in the short term, you ultimately prove that the DCC has become silly and obsolete. 2 16 Link to comment

But for some reason no similar courtesy is due a beloved second year veteran recovering from a serious illness during a national pandemic. They just make the rules up as they go, and that is a hallmark of bad leadership. 50 Link to comment

Not that Brennan should've been exploited but what a great story given how many people have died from it.

Popular Post VintageJ August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share August 20, 2020 I can’t even imagine what made them think cutting MY BRENNAN and MY HANNAH from the team was a good idea. I figure they will try to spin it in such a way that they did this for Brennan’s health, blah, blah, blah. Not buying it. You don’t give a shit about these girls’ health. If you did, you would have just kept the veterans, did socially distanced appearances, found different ways to promote online. As someone upthread said, Brennan could have been your ambassador this year. She is the epitome of class and perseverance. What you would not have done is have girls come to Texas for a reality show. And now that they are all now going back home? Way to burst the bubble. And Hannah. Seriously? She was in my triangle with Gina as point and she and Ashlee on the sides. Hannah is Fire! i don’t care how fierce the TCC candidates are this year, there is NO WAY that Hannah got outdanced by 36 other people because I can name multiple people on the squad now that cannot outdance her. So what is her story going to be because I’m NOT buying that she was outdanced by 36 other women. Sorry, not buying it. For Lily and Meredith, I’m not as invested, but I still think that in this crazy ass year, you should have kept the veterans and just did a different show. All the ladies bring different attributes to the team. Keep your head up ladies and keep it moving. Remember your year, your friendships, your experiences and go do your thing. I’m so pissed I can barely think. When I first heard, I mentally put my fingers in my ears and said, “La la la, I can’t hear you” because it just seemed ridiculous. Even if I could wrap my mind around Brennan not having good stamina from Covid, if you can keep a vet during a normal year with a season ending injury, and even if you were concerned that Brennan may be a spreader because we don’t know everything yet about Covid, you could have kept her to do online interviews with the girls or something. And nothing you tell me regarding Hannah is going to fly unless she gained, I don’t know, 15 pounds in a short amount of time ... oh wait ... never mind. That won’t fly either since a rookie candidate was “given the respect she deserved” to lose the weight. I’ll tell you what is world class, your bullshit 2 34 Link to comment

Like SHE saved Brennan from herself. Eyeroll. Here's how Brennan's cut is going to go: Brennan's edit to viewers will be every single stumble, fatigued forehead wipe, momentary confused or thoughtful expression with an ominous, foreshadowing musical score. Nanosecond clips of her appearing weak, exhausted, pale, lethargic. Brennan is called by whomever the new door lady is into the office on the last night. Cut to the office. It's only Brennan and Judy's stool awaiting Kelli's arrival. We see Kelli opening the office door, clad in her tube dress and heels she can't walk in, straining against the gusts from the blizzard outside. She walked here for Brennan. This is for Brennan. Her nurse's cap with a blue star is sucked off of her head by gale force winds and swirls off into the night. She uses her full bodyweight to latch the door against the storm. Such a journey for one lamb, but she is the shepherd and this is her flock. Kelli makes her way to the table, stumbling, aching. The lights flicker, will there even be enough power for Kelli to go through with her merciful pilgrimage? Judy's stool steps aside in deference. (It doesn't matter where Judy is). Brennan, glassy-eyed and barely able to sit in her chair, her sportsbra drenched in perspiration, once beachy waves are now sweaty tendrils. Weakened from malaise and unable to contain her yearning to know her fate, a hoarse, eager whisper passes her lips, "Please, just give it to me straight. Am I gonna live? Will I make it Kelli?" Kelli, rubbing her hands together in a futile attempt to warm them through the fingerless knitted gloves she received at The Mission, drops her head in yielding apprehension, and, in a low rasp utters, "Yes, sweet Brennan, but I must...I must CUT you.....and this is.....*GASP*....a conversation....of...*choke*.....integrity..." Kelli can barely finish the last word as racking sobs overtake her and her shoulders collapse into a defeated shudder. And scene. 38 Link to comment

MirabelMadrigal August 20, 2020 Share August 20, 2020 Any thoughts on why Hannah was cut? I have focused mostly on Brennan's cut because it seems like the most egregious, but Hannah's also seems highly unfair and unwarranted. Any ideas? Link to comment
vivianspoetry August 20, 2020 Share August 20, 2020 I've replied to a few posts, but haven't really given my own thoughts, so here goes. I am a little stunned, but I am waiting to see how things go down on the show before I get too outraged. I understand that what we see on the show will likely be a skewed version of the truth, but I still want to see even a semblance of what went down. The Brennan cut being related to COVID that has been theorized sounds very, very plausible. If true, it's disgusting. Keep her on the team for her leadership and appearances, even if it means keeping 37. There has to have been something with Hannah that will come out of left field. On paper, nothing makes sense about her cut. Lily was near the bottom last year, so it's not unprecedented for a vet in that spot to get cut the next year. I hate to see any vet go though. Meredith was in a tough spot because she is too stunning to blend, so if her memory and power didn't improve from what we saw in TC last year, she was going to stick out like a sore thumb. I loved Kat's personality last year, but that same sass I love is also something that could get her intro trouble if she steps over the line even a tiny bit. If she was having relations with a player, but was kept, then they need to re-evaluate the rule. Unenforced rules undermine leadership. If people discover they can ignore one rule, they will ignore them all. Either strictly enforce it or remove it. I agree it's unfair that it's a one-way rule with the burden placed on the women, but that's the difference between having a players union. Same thing with the injuries that was discussed further up the thread. NFL teams are prohibited from cutting injured or COVID infected players without first reaching an injury settlement with them. DCCs obviously don't have that luxury. The Cowboys and the DCC aren't that different in the fact that they are bringing in new talent every year in the hopes that some of the new athletes can replace some of the bottom end vets. It's cold-blooded, but reality. The difference is NFL players have 6/7/8/9 figure contracts, so you would think DCC leadership could be a little less ruthless to someone who has already given you so much for a few thousand dollars. From an organizational standpoint, I'm surprised they had veteran TC vs. keeping last year's squad with retirement replacements, especially since everyone knew cheerleaders wouldn't be on the field. If the millionaires and billionaires who own the teams were willing to give up massive amounts of money by prohibiting fans from attending, there was no way they were going to allow cheerleaders onto the field. From a reality show standpoint, I'm surprised they even shortened TC. It's pretty sad the dichotomy is that strong. With regards to VK's possible involvement in the cuts, I am open to the possibility that she had some involvement, but right now it seems unsubstantiated. She deserves to be criticized for all the ridiculous things that she's done (a lot of them on camera!), but I do wish the vitriol with with which she is criticized would soften a bit. It just adds fuel to the fire. She is brutal enough the way it is. This show has a pretty small active fandom. Leadership paints her out to be a victim because of the criticism she's received, and that is the overwhelming perception that I've witnessed in other places. Napolean had a fantastic quote: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” Lord knows VK has made plenty of mistakes the past 2 years. 23 Link to comment

I’m hoping (and this may be too generous) that TPTB’s feelings on team members expressing their opinions on social issues have evolved and that it is ridiculous to think you can separate the personal and political in this day and age. Jerry Jones and the organization continue to have a woefully inadequate public stance so the least they can do is allow DCCs the ability to express themselves without fear of retribution.

Is it a dumb rule, maybe to some, maybe not to others. It doesn't matter. It is a rule, it is in their contracts, they are not allowed to fraternize with players. It could not be easier to understand. Do not fraternize with players. If the girls want to hook up with players, whether they be a star or a practice team member, they have to be released. Don't try out for the team if you don't want to follow ALL the rules. Try out for a different team that doesn't care who you date. It is that simple. Yes! It's amazing to me that Kat, a mediocre dancer at best by DCC standards, gets a free pass, while Holly P., who IMHO, was one the best dancers DCC has had, is racked over the coals for the same infraction of the rules. Don't get me wrong ~ I like Kat, but rules are rules regardless of how archaic they might be to some. TPTB, IMHO, owe Holly P. a HUGE apology if they let the situation with Kat fly under the radar. Just my 2 cents. 15 Link to comment

Just my 2 cents. I don't understand that either -- maybe they think she's litigious and are thus scared of holding her accountable? But that just means that future girls who are held accountable can sue for differential treatment. Edited August 20, 2020 by SmpIsimon 9 Link to comment
ByTor August 20, 2020 Author Share August 20, 2020 Jenna wasn't cut for fraternizing, so the only thing I could think is that maybe Holly's was more about being underage in a bar? 13 Link to comment
