moemom August 21, 2020 Share August 21, 2020 I don’t know if Hannah or Brennan has a case for termination. But they sure as heck might have one if they felt they were at risk or the proper precautions were not taken for their health and safety in the workplace. Link to comment

TUOwl84 August 21, 2020 Share August 21, 2020 I was away from the board for most of the day today. I finally caught up. I am so proud of Hannah!!! Her, Bridget, and Jalyn have been my top 3 DCC since they made the team in 2018. I am beginning to think there will not be a new season of DCCMTT. I just can't imagine them doing so with this being blown up in their faces. And if they do air this season on CMT, who wants to place bets that they don't even show Hannah or Brennan being cut? They are going to make it non-existent like they did when Erica Wilkins got cut a few years back, when they just acted like nothing happened and then made KaShara group leader in her place. But we all knew better! 2 1 10 Link to comment

Lunacat August 21, 2020 Share August 21, 2020 What was the timing of SG being announced? I can see an issue if Hannah made SG and then they turned around and cut her. Gosh, I have so many questions about how this went down. Was camp shut down and they ended up mass cutting people... or were they at 39 and then only cut vets? (I think Meredith was cut prior to this week, yaaa? That was my best Kitty voice btw). Did they actually cut the vets OR did they just announce the team (similar to how it would be done at finals)? Was Kitty around this year? 1 Link to comment

Long time lurker here who rarely posts, but I've been around since TWOP and I'd like to lay out a theory about the DCC and MTT and see if it makes sense to anybody else. What if the Cowboys have decided that, in the current climate (meaning everything from #BLM to #metoo to covid) that the DCC are no longer a viable branding tool? Or, on a smaller scale, maybe Bravo and/or the production company have made it clear that this season is either the last season of MTT, or worse, that the 2020 season will only be aired if there's "sufficient drama". That's a standard reality show practice, some shows have to re-shoot entire seasons and even recast to get to get another season on the schedule. So what if that's literally what we're seeing here? Kelly and Charlotte deliberately blowing up the team to get the show on the air? They don't need the best dancers, because the DCC won't even be on the field this year. If the ladies will only be on the touch down decks, there's no worrying about pretty lines on the field or a kick line. All they need is pretty-ish girls who can wear the uniform and gyrate. And if the DCC really is going to go away, they don't need to worry about future leadership (veterans) either. If somebody beat me to this, I apologize. I'm still back on page 31, but I needed to see if this occurred to anyone else. I think this is a bit too complicated of a theory and that the simple answer is Kelli is a terrible manager. Her management style has pretty obviously cultivated a toxic behind-the-scenes environment for a long time, and even people who just watch the show and have no personal experience with the DCC can see that. Throw in something truly serious like a global pandemic and it all hits the fan. Kelli can’t call in a random country music star or preacher (don’t even get me started on that...) or slap a Belk dress on something to try and uphold this shiny veneer of perfection and sisterhood and world class bs. In a situation like this, you really have to know your stuff and take your job seriously and do your absolute best to create an environment where your employees feel they can trust you and that you’re making their safety your number one concern. Kelli simply does not have the capacity to do that as a manager. I don’t think she’d ever blow the team up on PURPOSE because she’s too concerned with cultivating a certain image and she can’t control the narrative when something big like this happens. But I do think that her lack of management skills (understatement of the year) and her prioritization of the show over the actual safety of the girls created a perfect storm for this disaster. All the higher-ups are to blame, from Kelli, Judy and Charlotte to whoever is in charge of the show at CMT. Shame on all of them for creating this situation that not only compromised the health of the DCC and TCC, but show crew members, hotel workers and who knows how many others. 1 23 Link to comment

If anything, people have been commenting stuff like get it girl because the alleged player is hot. The only negative thing i’ve seen is that he has a gf, which you know if true, both of them are huge assholes. Buut even though i disagree with this being a “rule”, if they’ve cut people before for the same reason and it’s clearly prohibited then yes keeping her is unfair. Lots of companies have a rule against this, but usually as long as they don’t work together/report to one and another and they can’t in any way influence each others’ job prospects, it’s fine. Still though, it’s generally expected to keep it low profile until it’s formal (engagement/marriage). So I understand if Kelli is generally ok with girls dating players as long as it doesn’t get out. 5 minutes ago, vivianspoetry said: I’m failing to understand why people are getting upset with the current cheerleaders in all of this.

However, given that most of the girls have taken a stance, I do believe that current leaders should do too, especially considering that the 3rd years may have wanted to come back, but Tess and Maddie for example are current 5th years and will probably retire anyway. They’re not endangering their spots like the rest do, for which I applaud them. They don’t even need to say anything against the dcc, just commenting something positive is enough to show where they stand without jeopardizing their positions. 1 minute ago, Fwcowboysfan said: I was thinking about.

Who did I marry? 😣 I asked my boyfriend to rate them...he reluctantly did so only after I promised to not get annoyed by it because he's going to be honest...LOL!!! He also thinks it's very sexist to give girls ratings but he did so for me 🙂 I gave him a printout of the vets and just told him to put L for Looks and B for Body if they were different. I was curious to see what a guy's perception is 🙂 Mind you...this is only based on aesthetics he is looking at on a printed piece of paper...he has never watched a single episode and I don't really discuss DCC with him a lot. So here is his take: Brennan: 7 looks/ 10 body (he does know she's my fave); Hannah: 8 looks/ 10 body-booty (he's a butt guy); Alanna: 8; Amanda: 7 looks/ 8 body; Amber: 7 looks/ 8 body; Ashlee: 9 ; Briana: 9 (thinks she is one of the prettiest out of the vets); Caroline: 8; Chandi: 8; Cici: 7; Daphne: 7; Erin: 9 looks/10 body (she is his top pick aesthetically speaking); Gina 7 looks/6 body (too thin); Jalyn: 8; Kat: 8 (but what is up with her hair? I told him it was better now...but goes to show some guys do pay attention lol); Kelcey: 8; Kristin: 7 (and she looks stoned); Lexie: 7 (something is odd about her face); Lily: 7; Lisa: 6 (looks hateful); Maddie: 7; Madeline: 7; Meredith: 7; Rachel A: 8 looks/9 body; Rachel W.: 8; Savannah: 7; Taylor J: 8; Tess: 7 (too thin); Victoria: 7.
