For me personally, I think it's because she looks like she's 12. 

Fair enough.  I think I like her in part because to me she looks like a girl I might actually encounter; most of them are so glammed-up that they don't look anything like the "girl next door" that people occasionally describe them as.  Like, I could never look like Kat, but Maddie's look might be attainable... 😆

Kelli-Sam/Judy-Cassie. Who is the smartest of them all? I vote for Sam. I know that she was an intern CMT/DCC show, but it is not uncommon for parents using their influence to get their child a job. She did not try out for DCC straight of high school, but went college instead. I do not recall any negative comments about Sam.

Sam gets my vote.

After going through all the trouble to make a bubble are they just going to turn around and have regular practices? How can that possibly make sense to anyone? And to not make the team official but to tell them to relocate is equally ridiculous.

[5678Pixie]

This pix is weird!  Marissa was fast to comment on it but hardly any DCC commented.   Most of the girls  would have been happy if Lisa would have been the one that got cut.  The four girls that were cut were all cut for the same reason and only one reason.  RATINGS!!!  CMT can twist it however they want but we all know the real reason for all four girls.  They had nothing this year so they focused on the WOC but in the end felt they needed more.  Kelli you are a little late in focusing on the WOC, you have had some beautiful African American and Asian girls before that were great dancers and you never gave them the time of day.

Kristin and Briana for Hannah and Brennan.

I find this season to be a very bad circus with K & J being the clowns. Hannah being cut for lack of Pom technique. Hmm...she had it for the last two years and it magically disappeared. Brennan cut for being winded and not game day ready. Another joke because they haven’t even had the first game so she could have had more time to rest after being sick. Then they tell the TCC that they aren’t officially on the team but move to Texas. This post sure puts a damper on Cassie’s BS that everyone had the option of the one day tryout. That was specially reserved for Taylor, who just so happens to be one of Sam Finglass good friends. I smell a rat here also. I’m sorry but with all the ladies they pick Tess and Maddie as leaders. 😂

Hold up, so you’re telling me our good friends at CMT “shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars” to make a show called “Making the Team” and in the end ... no one made the team? 🤡🤡🤡

I wonder why the two oldest members of the team were selected for show and sell (Briana and Brennan). I thought Kristin barely made the squad so not surprised she was in there. Hannah cut for lack of pom technique is the most ludicrous thing I've heard. It's been good enough for the last two seasons! Considering she's been taking virtual classes all lockdown long, I would've thought she'd be even better! Half the squad are weaker than her in pom!

Is Caroline the new rotation at point then potenially?

God help them all if Maddie and Tess are the leaders. 

I honestly don't know what is going through Kelli's mind with some of these decisions. Making drama for the sake of it is sad.

So the TCC’s went through all of that just to be told they’re not officially on the team? I would be pissed! Hannah getting cut for poor Pom technique when she’s already been on the team and SG for two years makes 0 sense. You know Kelli had to dig deep to find a reason to cut Hannah. Did the girls who had to do show and sell know their spot was on the line? Interesting that Briana and Kristin were in that group but Kat was not.

But don't they all move when they try out or at least make training camp? I get this season is extenuating but i thought the ones from out of town typically move before they know they made the team...

Typically most relocate if they're serious, some just find summer accommodations til they know for sure.

This year I think most just came to town for auditions rather than actually move permanently.

 

[MirabelMadrigal]

No way Hannah didn't have pom technique after two years. That is crazy crazy BS. Cutting Brennan for being winded is equally crazy-news flash to TPTB, the girls will be doing little to no dancing this year because we're in the middle of a pandemic!! I still think it's completely unacceptable that they had Brennan do the "Welcome to Training Camp" video and then made up a BS excuse and cut her on the last night. I can't even.

Did they not have an alternate last year ?  I would ask them why she wasn’t benched if her POM technique if it was so bad it would pose a  potential Cut for her the following year and why was she not pulled during last year ?!?

Equally unacceptable that they posted this of Lily the day she was cut. Here are  some of the comments.

tempghost1

You guys should really pull this out of respect for Lily. Should have been posted much earlier since there was always a chance she would be cut in camp. Posting the same day she was cut...yikes.

@tempghost1, So this is what "World Class" looks like, eh?? Not impressed

im_meemee

So you post and cut her in 24 hours. Just keep showing us your lack of class. You and Judy need to look up definition of ambassador and the evaluate whom you kept and whom you cut...

helloaccountabilityy

Who runs this account? Like does no one in this organization talk to each other and see how in poor taste it was to post this the same day she was fired from the team? My goodness this organization is a dumpster fire this year.

candacebordelon

How shitty. So disappointed in the management of this team.

livelaughlovechaos

How about finding out which football player @katpurr is sleeping with, and maybe sending a letter of apology of @hollymariepowell for the double standard.

catehenry27

Wow, the DCC organization just continues to show their lack of professionalism and decorum. Posting this video of Lily ? Why not just follow it up with videos of the other cut ladies and really stick the knife in all of their backs ? DCC leadership NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP!! Your brand looks like hell!

And it wasn’t even one of her rookies! Brittany looked shocked in the background. Just imagine a random GL calling out your rookie in front of your boss. Not coming to you, not asking you to speak up or anything. Call out YOUR rookie without giving you the chance to give your feedback, when it’s part of your job. Great teammate y'all!

I wonder what it would take to have Cassie speak up about things that are not right at the DCC. I thought a long time about it and I cannot think of anything. Well, genocide perhaps.

Also, I think that Cassie looks a whole lot better than Amy L (=my low bar benchmark).
Cassie was a thankful recipient of nepotism at its purest form, that’s all.

Cassie is part of the group that thought this is such a blessing that they shouldn’t even get paid for it, so of course she won’t see anything bad with it. That’s how the world looks like to you when you never had to actually work for a living.

And I don’t really agree that she’s prettier than Amy, although that’s subjective. At least Amy is bubbly and nice (looks nice, don’t know if she actually is) which is cheerleading 101. Cassie looks ugly to me and she always looks miserable/no smile, which was literally her job.

I mean, would you really talk to strangers about “company secrets” from your mom’s job? Or a company you used to work for? The appropriate answer to this question is something like I wasn’t involved in the decision making, I wasn’t there when it happened so I can’t possibly offer you any first hand, objective insight.

They make temporary arrangements. They’re asking them now to relocate, during a very unstable period, for the off chance they will get this part time job. I’m guessing if they decline at this stage, they won’t be welcomed back next season.

Also, we got to the point where the only leaders are Maddie and Tess, bland and blander. Let that sink in...

Cassie makes me laugh...if it was not for her mommy working for DCC, she wouldnt have even made it past auditions! She was by far the worst rookie in her class, and her looks were not and still are not up to DCC standard. Plus she thought she was Gods gift to DCC. Once retired she acted like she was the greatest there had ever been.

Thank you...I'm a nurse in a hospital with several covid cases, and yes...it is very possible to be infected twice.  We have a person who is on their second hospitalization in fact...first time in May and now.

I know this to be true, and I'm not arguing that it happens. What I'm trying to point out is that Brennan exaggerated. She stated that she had it twice then admitted she didn't get tested at least one of the times.

[SmpIsimon]

A few things:

1) Regarding Taylor only having to audition on the one day, a lot of the girls are unhappy that she got this special privilege.  Btw, Taylor is good friends with Sam. Hmm.

2) Most of the girls think Kristin is quite strange.  She's not really close with anyone.  Just a very odd duck.

3) The more I think about Cassie's statement, the thing that surprises me most is that she admitted they had someone test positive.  I thought for sure they would all deny that until the grave. 

4) My God, this whole enterprise has truly become a shit show.  They should use this as a case study in MBA programs as a textbook example of piss-poor management.

Maybe by the time her daughter is old enough, someone with some integrity will be in charge of the DCC — someone who refuses to use the team as a platform for glorifying the untalented daughters of friends and family. 

How sad if she spends all that time grooming her.

I've never watched any of her seasons - but I've seen pictures of her. She is quite um. handsome.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - but she can't dance either? lol sad.

She was a good DCC, especially in her later years. I never had a problem with her being on the team or getting into TC with a injured knee that was healing. They took Danielle with a injured foot too and Brooke Sorenson too

Agree.  She's a terrible human being.  Ask almost anyone who was on the squad with her. 

Btw, the girls in the last few years really resent how she shows up for the squad photo forcing them to stay in place even longer why they put her spawn in the photos. 

Really not surprised.  But just think, she and VK will have something in common the moment that VK decides to have her own spawn.  Oh wait . . .

Brennan was probably tired because she had to babysit Marrisa and Victoria all training camp as their boot buddys. After making Show Group, Marrisa told everyone that she can rest easy, and go watch Netflix at night for the rest of the bubble and she told her parents to move her stuff to Texas and start looking for a apartment while she was still in the bubble. Victoria spent her time in the bubble being so rude to everyone that leaders and Brennan had a private talk with her. 

Judy and Kelli cut Hannah Lily Brennan over zoom call. Nothing says we respect you like cutting veterans over a 2 minute zoom call. Hannah told them off during her call. They will splice it to make it look like she was the bitch in the situation. If anyone believes Hannah went from Show Group For 2 years to not knowing how to do a high V pom motion 🧐

Pay close attention to how they edit this season. Brianna was hurt for the last three days of the bubble. Judy, Kelli and the producer thought it made for good tv to make her “dance for her life” the last day, to prove a point. Nothing says we care about your health, but we care about the tv show more.

Watch how they edit it to act like Jalynn is going to make Show Group again. They set her up in her interviews to have her believe she was going to make it back. Just for a story line.

This production has never been this edited previously. But this year they jumped the shark. And in A particularly cruel and unnecessary way. It’s pitiful.

A few things:

1) Regarding Taylor only having to audition on the one day, a lot of the girls are unhappy that she got this special privilege.  Btw, Taylor is good friends with Sam. Hmm.

2) Most of the girls think Kristin is quite strange.  She's not really close with anyone.  Just a very odd duck.

3) The more I think about Cassie's statement, the thing that surprises me most is that she admitted they had someone test positive.  I thought for sure they would all deny that until the grave. 

4) My God, this whole enterprise has truly become a shit show.  They should use this as a case study in MBA programs as a textbook example of piss-poor management.

While I understand the girls being upset over Taylor's one day audition um WTF else was she supposed to do, possibly lose her job and damage her teaching career by being in the bubble dancing instead of teaching, doing her full time job which they are encouraged to have. Sorry GIRLS! not everyone has a job/career or boss that puts DCC before all else. I know some of the squad worked from the hotel but teaching won't work that way if she has to be in  practice during the time she's supposed to be teaching, sorry. It may help that she's friends with Sam but I'd bet it would also play really badly for Kelli if she refused to allow Taylor the one day option when she's always bragging about the girls with a full time job. Of course if she'd been smart and skipped the show this year, or just done a special and taken only the vets without a TC this wouldn't even be an issue but she's become such a fame whore not realizing she even qualifies as a Z list celebrity she'd never pass on the chance to be on TV gushing about how amazing and world renowned the DCC are.

She was a good DCC, especially in her later years. I never had a problem with her being on the team or getting into TC with a injured knee that was healing. They took Danielle with a injured foot too and Brooke Sorenson too

I honestly get taking Cassie back as from what I remember she was injured during DCC activities same as Brooke, but they were a heartbeat away from cutting Danielle the next year so I don't think we can use her as an example

This is why I’m not going to watch this year. If I wantEd to watch a reality competition I would watch a reality competition. I wish they treated this more like Hard Knocks than The Voice With Poms.

Oh Marissa.  Victoria is your boot buddy?  Did you know that association comes with a curse?  A curse of being cut before your time?  I may yet get my wish.

They will definitely continue to cull the group In the next couple of years so no one is better than the one person they want out in the lead.

I cannot get over they cut VETERANS over a damn zoom call.  After Kelli proudly showed off the "office" set, complete with the COVID safety divider sheet of plexiglass.   Is this their new incarnation of World Class?

If it was due to the false positive & production being shut down at the time, couldn't K&J have the decency to stand somewhere in the same room with the proven Veteran and cut them face to face?

Oh no-kiss of death-Giving VK feedback!!! Poor Brennan. As I've said in a previous post, TPTB put Brennan in an impossible position being VK's (AND Marissa's???) boot buddy.
