People definitely are still upset and voicing their opinions on social media. Some are implying that Brennan was referencing race when she said the direction the team is taking.  Most agree Hannah was more ignorant and giving a bitch attitude the whole time.  Overall, most opinions reflect Brennan and Hannah got outperformed.  Saw a lot of opinion that Lily came across as unprepared and had the gull to ask if there was anything else she could do.  Many feel Lily showed her best and didn’t measure up.  Most people believe the best 36 made the team and the vets should have bowed out gracefully. 

Ignorant about what?

LOOK AT MADDIE'S LEG!! and she is POINT?! Howww?? 

Also, this is a reply to Kelli, so she definitely saw this...

This is not okay 😞 Even though she is point and a group leader, she needs to be held to the same standards as the other girls

I knew I saw something with wrong with her kicks, glad someone got a pic. Maddie had some bad parts throughout the whole season. Some times she was late on the dances and doing something else (obviously not shown for DCC making the team purposes) that kick is so bad 😩 Maddie better come back next season bringing something better because this seems like complacency to me.

I feel like her kicks have always been questionable. And yes she was messing up a lot with learning the new choreo - they just didn't highlight her like the others. I mean they all mess up of course so that's not a deal breaker. It comes down to the casual viewers with regards to who is cut. They are obsessed with Maddie - and Kat.

[vanillagum]

i'm confused, what does maddie sucking at kicks have to do with being woke/cancel culture lmao

[Lona]

You guys! Alanna is engaged! Oh, happy days. What wonderful news. Wishing her and her fiance a happy marriage and wonderful life! 🙂

[404teanotfound]

Since Alanna is now engaged I feel like she'll probably retire this year, IIRC her fiancé still lives in Cali

I dont understand that part either. A little worried they mean cutting vets to make room for diversity? I hope that's not what it means.

She's spunky and bubbly. I think she's fine. Her leaps look a little low but her pom is just what they want. Sometimes she's a little too much Ala Gina but if she stays she'll be a good cheerleader.

Briana’s IG Story also showed them FaceTiming CiCi since she couldn’t be there.  I know there is much speculation about who might be “mean girls,” but this seems like such a genuine group of nice girls.

Her technique is questionable and kicks have always been terrible. Of all the people they’ve ever honed in on and promoted to death she is the one I understand the least. I honestly think VK and Cat are better overall for DCC.

Also do not comprehend how anyone could think Brennan was saying the team is getting to diverse. She has never indicate any kind of bullshittery that would make me think she’d think that.

From what I gather, Hannah is ignorant because she lacked insight that the rookies are better than her and she was acting ignorant with a bitch face and attitude. Social media is supporting K&J mostly from what I read.  The opinions on there are mostly in opposition to what the opinions are on here.

Hahaha ignorant? Please. Not all the rookies were freaking rockstars like Kelli seems to think. Every year it's "this is the strongest group ever", when clearly it isn't! 🙄

I personally wouldn’t jive with Hannah nor would I want her on the team if I were Kelly / Judy. I think her mood swings that are up and down would be too toxic for the team

I’m sorry, what do you mean by “mood swings”??? 

I’ve been rewatching the old seasons since she’s been on and she was hardly an issue. Even on social media.

Kind of offensive a little bit? There are laws in place to prevent that type of discrimination. And I didn't see her as having toxic mood swings anyway. I do think she lost faith in the organization as a whole after the decisions they made in 2020. She's getting her Masters in Counseling and her 'attitude' is honestly just passionate concern regarding the difficult circumstances surrounding pretty much everything. She saw the decisions as deliberately jeopardizing the physical and mental health of others during a global pandemic. (but yeah she still wanted her support system with the girls - so she went anyway).

Agree, they probably cut her for that. Their call.  Just wish they could have provided the real context of the situation instead of making her look like an pale, disinterested, bitter b$@ch. Not fair. Now she's getting trashed on social media too.

(also many people with anxiety/depression/ADHD are extremely empathetic and other people just don't understand the depth of those emotions- so I get why people don't fully understand her post)

[404teanotfound]

Looks like Marissa also got engaged today

[pinkandsparkly13]

People can still do their jobs while having "mood swings" or dealing with anxiety and depression. It doesn't mean they need to be canned, or will be bad for whatever it is they do. We've heard about plenty of mean girls being on the squad for years. I'm sure they had bad attitudes at times and were "toxic" to some. It's all about what K, J, and C will let slide, and who they like. 

[Vandy10]

What mood swings? Hannah was ice cold during that last call with K&J (for which people are calling her all sorts of names). I can't recall seeing any other extreme moods from Hannah, either high or low, from her other seasons. Brennan and Lily displayed far more emotion in their cuts. And personally, I don't think K&J deserve anyone's tears; they're not worth it, and I'm glad Hannah didn't give them any.

I liked it when she said " this is where we are" like she was mocking Kelli.

Not Marissa stealing Alanna’s spotlight! Just Kidding! 😂 Congrats to both couples! 
 

I was thinking that Alanna looks the best in the squad photo this year.  My eyes really gravitate toward her too. I also think Madeline M looks good in the squad photo too and I often feel she doesn’t look good in photos in her first two seasons. 
 

I was thinking today about how there was a covid exposure on the last day of training camp and yet Kelli and Judy did not quarantine, and instead they were shown sitting right next to one another, without masks on, while using  Zoom or whatever app they used to cut Lily, Brennan, and Hannah. Something ain’t right there, no? 🤔🤣 

[GonnahearmeRoar]

Isn’t Marissa 19?   Pump the brakes a little!!!  Maybe the fiancé is older?! She looks happy but she is really young.

I know girls get married at 19 but this shows some of her immaturity in my opinion.  Go to college, find out what real life is about, get a job, grow up, see what adulthood is like first.

I agree. They shouldn't be trashing any of the girls. From what I've seen, most of the social media is trashing Brennan and Hannah. Which is also unfair.

I ended up being a big defender of Hannah and Brennan because frankly, the gross stuff I saw people were saying about them on the Facebook page. Especially Hannah. She seems to be getting it the worse for daring to get upset about her cut. It seems like people still have ridiculous ideas than anytime a woman shows strong emotions she's has to be labeled. Its either " drama queen" or " bitch" of course. I gave up because it became too draining to get people to simply understand that Brennan, Lily, and Hannah's reactions to their cuts are all perfectly normal and justified. Not all the ladies are going to react with a watery smile, a "yes ma'am" and the classic " Hopefully I'll come back stronger next year". Especially if they are smart enough to see they are being fed BS. Sometimes bad decisions need to be called out now and again.

I'm going to assume you've never had to deal with depression or anxiety, which I and Hannah have. Some days you can't even get out of bed. They know all about Hannah's mental health issues and her mental state would definitely have been amplified in such a lockdown/bubble setting, like it is for many of us. K&J I felt were very unsympathetic when Hannah was describing how she was feeling. Typical people who don't understand what it's like always say 'we know how you're feeling', 'everyone's struggling right now'. Every person is different. She turned up and did her job. Was she the rockstar she has been for the last 2 years? Maybe not. Was she still better than most of the dancers on the squad? Yes. 

K&J hate it when the girls aren't 100% on all the time when some have more reserved, introverted personalities. I think Hannah was the perfect person to have on the squad to show that you can still achieve your goals despite mental health problems. K&J didn't appreciate her enough and then when the cut was coming, Hannah already knew what they were going to say.

If "Brennan is racist" was supposed to be the narrative, yeah, I think that's ridiculous.

I agree 19 is young. However it looks like her fiancé recently had cancer per a post on her Instagram. I wonder if that sparked the decision to propose, illness and death put a lot of things into perspective so I get the “why wait, tomorrow isn’t guaranteed” mentality.

So I just wish them the best.

Shorter, yes.  It’s like she is pushy her down with that oversized blue sleeves.  I swear this sleeves have gotten bigger over time.  They are too much!

I hear you but she posted he was cancer free recently.  I found it: 

 

Tonight, we received the call from Tanner’s urology oncologist with some incredible news. Tanner was in the 2% of people that is diagnosed with the cancer that does not spread, but grows. And of those 2% of people, only 10% of those have a malignant tumor, like him. He had leydig cell tumor, which would have caused infertility if not removed. But since the tumor has been removed, he is now CANCER FREE! 
I am crying tears of joy tonight! This is proof that God can conquer the impossible. We have leaned on our faith so much and are SO THANKFUL for all of the love, support, and prayers we have received. God is SO GOOD! 🤍✨💜

 

This is awesome news! Just what is the rush? Travel and have fun.  Enjoy each other before the mundane chores..

Getting engaged doesn't mean they're getting married right now. Some couples wait years after their engagement to get married. I am a sucker for couples and weddings so I don't see a problem with it. As long as the parents are cool with it then good for them. 

[kalibean]

The most frustrating thing about the vilification of Hannah on social media are those who are like why is she so mad? She got outperformed and out danced! She kept messing up! She doesn’t have the DCC style! 
 

For heavens sake, she was show group as a rookie, show group her second year and STILL got show group votes this year. 
 

If Kelli and Judy wanted her off the team, they easily could have kept with the narrative that she has lost some of her sparkle with the pressure from Covid and her grad studies. Or just cut her for attitude.
 

And poor Brennan - imo the “wrong direction” is about the gossip and tattling and immature members, as well as the actions being taken for ratings.
