For those asking, the answer probably won’t be revealed. 

At least not by your good friend “LemonBus.” 

I’ve had my suspicions. 

WE’VE had our suspicions. 

But the games end now. 
 

So long, LB!
 

Gooo-pfftttt screw it. I’m not doing that creepy nonsense anymore 😂. We’ve had a great time this season. All of us have. We all can’t wait to see how the fans react to this season! We hope you all enjoy it! 
 

Um… don’t mind me but… is anyone else confused AF? 😳 what answer? Why won’t we hear from LB again? Someone pls explain 🥺 thanks in advance lol

So many alter egos. How does one manage her to fit it all on one screen time?

😆

I almost posted the same thing. Except my edit is posted above. 

I also hope @lemonbus230 stays around. There needs to be some levity behind all the creative editing that the “fans” are no doubt in store for.  

I've already stopped watching the new seasons. I’m relying on all you wonderful people to keep me updated.

Hold up - are Dr. Manhattan and Lemonbus the same person?!? 

[Agent Gully]

IF Lemonbus is one of the DCC, I would imagine there would be another vet cut made ASAP. 

The reference to "games" could mean both our "insiders" are in it together and they are just playing us. For any of TPTB reading this. Holding back all info will not make me want to watch the show.

Or...I actually have no clue.

Darian's Instagram is now private. This is a very recent change.

Interesting considering she launched a brand with her sister recently so she should want all the social media influence she could get...

Right? I am sure any number of personal issues could make one change a public account private, but Darian's facebook and tiktok are still public (but not used very much). The timing is definitely odd since she has been promoting her brand new clothing line with her sister through instagram.

What on earth have I woken up to 😳😂

[Liverbird]

If Dr Manhattan is endorsed by CMT and/or DCC, I'm very disappointed and feel it diminishes the brand. For many of us, this has been a particularly miserable 18 months due to the pandemic. I come to the boards and watch DCC MTT for recreation and relaxation. Not here for petty mind games, particularly corporate sponsored ones. If Lemonbus doesn't post again, I hope you/y'all are OK and have a fun summer. 

[vanillagum]

This is so creepy. The part about not being able to wait to see how fans react to this season is weird, as if it's some fictional television series with orchestrated drama. Oh wait -

[Agent Gully]

"We’ve had a great time this season. All of us have. We all can’t wait to see how the fans react to this season! We hope you all enjoy it! " Quote by "Dr. Manhattan".

Ooooohhh! Maybe those of us posting here in Primetimer will be part of the show this season, where we all look like villains for our speculation. They will air it as a segment of the show, where they warn the gals about the evils of visiting DCC specific forums. (j/k, sort of)

[parrotfeathers]

I wake up to the real meaning of Armageddon.

[TB12]

I couldn’t be more confused if I had to be… so Dr M & LB know each other? It’s the same person? Point(s) chosen, vet quit due to injury & yet here we are with no more intel… 

[Jess14]

6 hours ago, StellaCL said:

I don't think this is Manhattan's last night - it's our Lemonbus, who was given false information.

But then... plot twist, Dr. M reveals it's all been great fun and hope we enjoy the season. So who knows! They are just jerking our chain for suspense and laughs? And yes, I always thought Dr. M worked in marketing for DCC or production for MTT.

Oh goodness. That may be what happened, and if so, I find this whole thing to be rather silly. They’re picking a dance team, not discussing top secret, classified government intel. Not to mention that they literally bring tv cameras into their team interactions and deliberations. If this was actually about privacy, they wouldn’t do that in the first place. It’s just about controlling the narrative.

Personally, I’ve enjoyed @lemonbus230.  I hope s/he doesn’t leave.  We used to get good intel.  Now, with whatever is going on between Dr.M & LB...the only insider fun we had, is evaporating. 😐

 

I've enjoyed Lemonbus a hell of a lot more than the Manhattan persona.  I actually don't give a rat's arse about the show now or who makes the team anymore other than my one pick.  I enjoy the banter on here much more than the train wreck of MTT. I won't be watching the season... but I'll follow along here.

As someone who stopped watching before last season I was hoping for a reason to restart. Something to draw me back in.

I’m not seeing one.

I don’t think lemonbus and Dr M are the same people. Lemonbus has been good to us, I hope we hear from them again soon. 
so now there’s another vet who is injured and off the team? Hopefully we can figure out a name…

I quit watching after season 13 and won't watch anymore... I was hoping that they would redeem theirselves this season but nope... and the Dr M is what did it in for me as far as watching.

The thing that gives me joy that I found due to the lack of openness is the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders Instagram page. Well maintained, open about who’s on the team and what they are doing, and long video profiles of all the new girls.

I’d say CMT should switch from Dallas to Denver, but they’d likely want to make the same production mistakes there.

[lemonbus230]

I don’t have time or really care to read through whatever transpired last night. I don’t know the other poster and I am positive they don’t know me. And it looks like they don’t know much information either and/or are getting it days after it transpired. When the show airs, make sure you come back and tell me how right I was. 😉A training camp candidate was cut last night and another vet resigned. I’m sure the editing Gods will make it look like she was cut.

And, as for everything else - if Dr. M is indeed part of TPTB, they are obviously not taking our constructive criticism to heart.

No idea who quit, but Jada, Alora Rose, Jessica or Darian is probably one of the cut rookies.  I’m thinking Darian since she made her IG private.  Will be very sad if it’s Jada.

My bet is on Alora Rose they’ll pull a Brennan or a Lily where they cut them for making their “rookie” mistakes when they showed none of that on the show.

I hope so. Don’t really have the stomach to watch more rookie cuts.  When Meredith and Lily made the team, I was so happy for them.  Only to be cut the next year.  And watching what Brennan and Hannah went through wasn’t great. Even though I wasn’t attached to them or even Meredith or Lily, it just didn’t sit right given Covid.

She does seem happy!

That’s what interests me: learning about the girls/women and their friendships, watching and learning about dance training, and seeing how organizations utilize their cheerleaders beyond the field.

Drama due to cuts isn’t as exciting as they think. Either pull a Hard Knocks and focus on training camp closer to real time or pull a Bravo and focus on story arcs for the vets, the people the audience connect to.

Right now it feels like candidates should be called one on one to accept their poms for the most Dramatic. Cut. EVER. And that’s not as interesting as they seem to think.

Exactly. I love dance 1st, with all the training that’s involved, then the personal stuff and friendships that let me kind of get to know them.

I honestly think there wouldn’t have been this pushback if they had their traditional auditions.

Meredith likely wouldn’t have made it to training camp, and unfortunately maybe not Lily. While I do think she would have had a better shot I don’t think anyone would have been surprised.

I think Hannah and Brennen would have likely been fine due to vet cuts after training camp starts being rare and their reviews being more weighted on one day’s performance.

Keeping vet cuts earlier means people don’t get as emotionally invested in their favorites again. Easier for a viewer to move on. And it seems less cruel to the ones that they know won’t make it than keeping them the whole training camp.

I didn’t see the “Dance For Your Life” but I hate the idea and can only imagine how the vets being forced to do that must have felt.

I also understand a traditional year was impossible and agree with others that a season only focused on vets would have been great. Give the women who needed it extra confidence and go into the new television season with viewers having deeper connections to their favorites.

Whats with the last line? No random fan on this page wud ever say something like that. So CMT/TPTB r directing the narrative on here as well? They do not understand their fans at all. Can we please go back to daily or so pictures of the TCC with the X’s updating who has been cut? @lemonbus230 thank u for being good to us but it seems like tantalizing clues helping us figure out the cuts, etc, r being held back as well to fit someone elses narrative. I, like alot of other posters, no longer watch the show but still follow this thread and was hoping to get reinvolved with watching.  Even tho I read every entry, I have no idea at this moment how many r left, who’s been cut, who the GLs r or point. This has never been the case at this point in previous years. I’ll stay on here for sure cuz I love u guys but still sad that somehow r inside info has been corrupted as well.

Alright ignoring the lemonbus vs DM drama for a sec.. we have 3 TCC cuts (2 before show group and 1 after - of which we know two of them have to be either lea, Christina, Megan, Jordann, or kaydianna based on the photo KC posted). Now we have 2 more vets gone (1 due to injury, 1 resigned) and another TCC cut in addition to the other 3 based on @lemonbus230 info. So that’s 6 gone we don’t have the confirmed names for yet. Does that mean we are down to 37 left? (23 vets, 14 rookie TCC) Meaning only one more cut to go!? Correct me if my math is wrong!
