I think they are trying to shut us out because we are starting to spill out into the more general fans. We aren't just a small group of super fans anymore, our opinions and insider info is shared more widely. But I don't agree with their methods. Since Lily made DBC I've been following their IG and oh boy does their page shit all over DCC! Constant updates!!!!! Take note TPTB.. To Hayley or whoever is running their SM pages, here's some tips: - video is king: post more videos of rehearsals, performances, showgroup, fun locker room shenanigans.. - highlight the girls lives and professions outside of DCC. Don't just focus on Taylor the teacher and Kelsey the nurse... - user generated content - get yours fans creating content for you!!! - competitions - to win a spot on the judging panel at auditions, win a pair of boots etc - you advertise online dance classes with the DCC but we never see any follow up. Post a teaser of everyone dancing together! I'll stop before this essay becomes too long. Alternatively, if you want to hire me just reach out haha 😉 Another marketing manager here.

I think they are trying to shut us out because we are starting to spill out into the more general fans. We aren't just a small group of super fans anymore, our opinions and insider info is shared more widely. The problem the producers have is that MTT is now dependent on the rumors, the speculation, the secrecy and shock value. These things help fuel the chatter which bring the ratings upward and out toward their preferred demographic. The Victoria years (and last year) were highly rated because there was so much spillover, controversy and subsequent buzz. There was anti- PT on many public facing sites but of course all that did was send more people to see what PT was talking about. More discussion... It worked. It brought in more viewers. Anti-PT is part of the strategy. (this is also a problem for PT because now we are all just as dependent on the next new shocking development) But DCC still wants to cling to the world class, professional sisterhood with the most "comprehensive audition" on the globe. DCC must tread carefully because if the brand becomes known as nothing more than a hypocritical and exploitive organization, eventually things will backfire. So to tame those "toxic" rumors which could get out of control, MTT has to be ahead of reality. And that's why we see a more controlled release. Maybe an occasional leak or two carefully placed. It's a delicate balance. The goal is to generate just enough chatter to seep out into the normal social media boards and attract the casual viewers 18-49, without damaging the wholesome brand. 3 Link to comment

Could you give me the Cliff Notes version of that story or point me to where I could read where she wrote about this? It sounds very interesting! And I agree with your question regarding Brittney Schram's poem. I've always loved everything about Brittney and thought she was perfect in every way...until I read her poem. Hah!

I couldn't even remember some of their names. In earlier seasons, I would have been able to provide a full biography on every rookie. That was when the show was about content rather than soundbites. TPTB really boned up season 15, and in doing so, also boned up their reputation and show. Granted, the circumstance under which the world was dealing with at that time demanded things be other than "normal". But there were options, and TPTB chose the wrong one IMHO. I think the decision was driven by what they thought would be seen as a novel solution to a difficult problem and lauded as a tremendous success in overcoming the long odds of "Making the Team" under such conditions which in turn would lead to great interest in the show and thus higher ratings. Unfortunately, it was a train wreck instead, leading to veteran cuts and rookie selections based on a scintilla of observation and evaluation compared to the traditional full training camp where girls who were weak in the beginning had the time to progress and show their commitment, their strength under pressure and their improvement in dance and consistency, not to mention more time to also show their great personalities that would make them great ambassadors. It also produced a group of rookies who none of the viewers had time to get to know thus creating this current group of basically unknown and unremembered 2nd year candidates. I don't blame the girls, in fact, I feel sorry for them. DCC should have just stuck with the all vet team for the '20-'21 season. DCC lost a lot of really committed and beautiful girls (Meredith, Lily, Brennan and Hannah) and a lot of fans with the poor season 15 decisions.

Claire is missing for some reason and Sydney but I’m guessing she moved on by that point? If you are interested I believe given the sheer amount of dcc followers that increased for Amanda Howard and a deleted IG story right after finals that a friend sent her Congratulations chocolates I believe she is in (actual 🙄) training camp. Also I’ve seen several dcc related IG posts from Presley, and Jordann has amassed many dcc followers as well. So I think they did as well. (Though it does seem like Jalyn, Chandi and Marissa follow absolutely everyone.) I get the feeling that quite a few made it through but we will see. 5 Link to comment

People break up all the time - we just assume Sydney would be heartbroken, devastated, and embarrassed because a relationship didn't work out and he moved on? A resulting pregnancy is his doing, not hers, she bears no weight or judgement from that. People's inner thoughts, life motivations, goals, desires are a lot more complex than we give them credit for. Why she wanted to move to Dallas, be a DCC, and retire after one year is not something she needs to explain, nor is it worthy of ridicule or embarrassment. 24 Link to comment

Ok let me explain: my mention of humiliation is not about her former achievements. What she has achieved is impressive to say the least. I’ve tried to choose my wording carefully as we do not know if she did go to Dallas for love. My post merely had to do with what came after (if true) It was based on last year’s rumour that she primarily moved to Dallas and tried out for the DCC to be with a guy she loved (I believe he was signed by the cowboys) Rumours also said she cared more about him than he about her. Anyway he had something with another girl and got her pregnant straight away. Now, I’m pretty sure most of us would feel humiliated if that happened to us. I know I would be. And if your story is out on the internet, which it was, then you can bet people will thrash you, talk behind your back and revel in your misery…. And that can’t be nice…hence the feeling of humiliation. I would feel awful every single step of the way if this had happened to me and be very happy to leave it behind and move on. Hope that clarified what I meant. What I can say about her: she achieved so much, she doesn’t need the DCC to prove anything to anyone nor does she need them to have the experience of a proper year in the NFL. She’ll find her way as she is a talented, smart and beautiful woman. 8 Link to comment
Katmcc June 21, 2021 Share June 21, 2021 (edited) I like that y’all are making the Sydney story as polite as possible. The player was in a ‘serious relationship’ with another woman and now has multiple children with her. Sydney thought she could get him to commit to her if she moved across the country for him.
