If it's the boys talking about it in the locker room and it got back to k & j, that would, in my opinion make it worse. 

This!! I thought the exact same thing. I didn't think Kelli was referring to the DCCs when she mentioned locker room talk. I wondered if someone else (an assistant coach, etc) overheard the guys talking about it in the locker room and mentioned it to K & J.

[dreamcatcher]

So... they would take a guy's locker room talk THAT seriously? I mean for all they know Holly was flirting with him publicly and that's it, but the only one who could confirm that she did sleep with him was obviously Zeke. Yet, he's a guy and apparently not a real gentleman, so who's to sat that he is telling everyone he's the man and he's banging cheerleaders on the side, while in reality Holly never went further than just flirting?

Just saying that I still think it was one or more DCCs telling on them, not DCs.

I honestly think the relationship fizzled and she moved on.

Some people on here are confident..others are more likely to allege that this could have been true. I am one of the former.

I feel like they ought to, but since they didn't mention her AT ALL this season, I doubt they will.

Because it's a big deal and rare chance for them to be on a squad that will get to go to and cheer at the pro bowl festivities/game. 

You'll learn so much from speculation - not.

[Jess14]

I hope the next episode is the last that we hear about the Jenna/Holly drama honestly. I feel like it has  put a damper over the whole season (for those of us who were spoiled and knew what was coming), and then the big reveal last night was a huge letdown. I’m ready to just watch some dancing.

That's what I thought to. I also got the vibe that she wasn't taking it seriously at all. Her crying looked out on and it looked like she smirked at the cmt camera on the way out. Then she was smiling as she left and said how much fun it was.

I think yes coupled with the fact that there are other outlets they get their information from. Everyone isn't lying, and after a while it becomes hard to hide or deny convincingly.

Hi this is my first post and I've found this forum so interesting.  I've watched the show from the beginning and always had a real respect for the work the DCC do.  And I'm in Patriot's country lol.  Excuse the dumb question after last nights episode Holly was still a DCC and told she and Jenna couldn't go to Canton.  But with the posts she's made she is obviously gone so m I right she left after the "talk"?

[Smplsimon]

Don't be too excited about the next episode.  The reality is that Holly just never showed up for rehearsal again.  Kelli will announce in a talking head segment that Holly quit.

Yes. She (Holly) left sometime after that discussion with Judy and Kelli, yes. Not that exact day, but sometime afterwards.

The players are holier than thou.  Sure, Zeke has his off field problems but to the organization he is a goldmine.  He is producing results for the team and getting the wins.  That's what Jerry cared about.  They will always believe what these guys are saying.  And, even if it's just a rumor, Kelli has a responsibility to the organization to address it.  Even if it's harmless flirting - which it wasn't.  Fraternization doesn't mean "sleeping with".  Holly was breaking contract by being around Zeke.  At the club, her apartment, smoking with, talking/texting, horizontally dancing with, etc.

Also, for everyone who is saying Holly lied to their faces...it's possible she didn't.  She said, "I'm not CURRENTLY talking to a player."  That means she and Zeke were done by the time the meeting happened.  If they were, then technically, she didn't lie.  Just saying.

I just watched the last part again when Holly packed up her things before leaving - 

1. Damn that duffel!!!! I'm jealous and I want one. 

2. If she wasn't going to canton, why did she take the gold dress? 

3. I get it that she's a great dancer and probably one of the best in the team, but for it to come from her - a little self absorbed in my opinion. Kind of giving me the Gina vibe. 

4. When she first walked in the locker room after the office visit, that smile just rubbed me the wrong way. 

 

Cant wait to se this play out next week. 

I didn't necessarily see it that way

a) its true

b) its the same thing anyone at a job interview would say 'I think I'm/I would be an asset to your team/company/firm, it's really no different and sounds no more cocky or self-absorbed to me, not to mention pretty much every candidate at auditions says pretty much the same thing in the backstage interviews. you wouldn't be there if you didn't think you'd be a good asset.

 

Re the smile, she very much could have been trying not to cry, I do the same thing, a fake it til you make it thing

They keep saying 4 more cuts, so I feel like they have to address Erica’s dismissal somehow (even if they use the injury excuse). 

The only reasons I can think of the different treatment between Holly/Jenna is 1) they value Jenna on the team more; 2) while they both got in trouble for fraternization last year, Jenna stopped sleeping with a player (whether her choice or his, who knows) and Holly kept sleeping with a player; or 3) it comes down to the underage drinking thing. I’m truly shocked by how little attention they paid to the under 21 in a 21 and up club issue. Its not a big deal to most ppl but it was an easy out for them.

I thought this episode would clear up some things, but it didn’t.

They may have thought that reflected worse on them? law breaking vs contract breaking. Holly is legal to have sex, she's not to drink, and America's Sweethearts can't be seen to be breaking the law. plus, it would then place the club and whomever bought her the drinks in a sticky spot - if it were Zeke or Jenna, thats a Class A misdemeanor, which neither needs - nor I suspect does DC/DCC want to be associated with it -. better to hit on the fraternization rule, from a PR standpoint

I sort of agree. Holly seemed kind of honest. If they knew about her past indiscretions and had already talked to her about them there would be no need for Holly to admit to breaking the fraternization rules now. She probably thought she had a fresh start from last time.

It's possible the club photo dug up old skeletons and made it look like Holly was still seeing Zeke. Regardless ideally Holly would take back being seen with him, whether an accident or not.

You can tell she's the daughter of a lawyer - she chose her words super carefully there. it went from deny deny deny lie lie lie to a very carefully chosen 'not currently' which is an admission that yes, she did BUT she's not breaking the rule now. its a dicey game to play, because you are admitting that you broke contract in the past, but if played right means you can try to show/prove that you've learned from your mistake. 

Also did anyone else notice how the camera panned over Zeke and Dak's lockers in the locker room on the ridiculous tour? that made me chuckle about what was coming next

This was on Holly’s insta story last night. LV duffle and now Tiffany diamond earrings ? 

[klh25]

I have been lurking for a couple of years on here, but this is my first post.  This is a fun and interesting site.  I'm a little disappointed in some of the posts excusing Holly's behavior, as a former dancer in HS (San Antonio) and one year as a Strutter - you know the rules and you follow them, or you step aside.  I'm 45, so I was on dance team before everything got ridiculously PC and we were weighed every week and if you didn't make your weight - you didn't dance.  As a Strutter, I still had the founder (Barbara Tidwell) as my director.  She was strict on weight, rules, Texas History and etiquette.  You weren't to be seen NEAR the football dorms and you were to carry yourself as a lady.  I'm sad that so many now discount contracts and rules, they were put in place for a reason - which is why everyone doesn't and shouldn't participate.  I would have loved to have had the opportunity to have tried out for the DCC, at 45 I sometimes still try to convince myself I can, but lets be honest...it ain't going to happen.   Holly was given the dream that many want so bad, and then tossed it in the trash.  She took a spot from someone that wanted it more and that is sad.  She flat out lied to K&J, she knew the stakes and should have been let go immediately.  As far as Jenna, I have watched this show from day 1 and she has shown to be a great dancer and representative for the team, I'm not going to listen to all the nonsense posted about her here.  You could tell when she was confronted that she didn't want to call her friend out but her back was against the wall.  She is a GL now and has a job to uphold.  Don't blame Jenna, Holly is an adult and no one made her break the rules.

Poor Jenna, there was nothing she could do.  Jenna said she was tsk tsking in her head, hoping Holly would come to her senses.

Now, for Jenna, one less competitor for her point...oh wait, Hello Kashara!

this made me LOL. #ughlifeissoooohard

[LaurenBrook]

Posted this under hidden contents on episode thread but should have here: 

 My confusion now is when exactly Holly quits...July 27 or 28 was Doomsday if I recall correctly and it seems like that was the day they showed on last night's episode.  In the weeks following as info trickled around, multiple people told me that Holly and Jenna were the only ones called in that evening - Jenna took her medicine and turned a corner after that point, texted all the vets to apologize for formations having to be changed because of her actions and did help a lot with rookies while everyone was in Ohio.  I was told though that that was the last time Holly was there, that after that meeting she went off the radar.  Didn't show up to practice the next day and no one could get in touch with her, wasn't answering texts or anything.  I guess I just assumed she blew up in the office when they told her they knew about her underage activities but now it's looking more like she pretended to be sorry (maybe she was in that moment, who am i to judge that) but was so humiliated and upset she decided to quit; her 'but it was fun' quip makes me think that must be it?  Omg i never even assumed she wouldn't tell Kelli and Judy she was quitting, that she was like 'whatever, i'm out' and just never came back?!  I am really intrigued now too to see how this goes down moving forward, if next week Kelli has a talking head of 'since our meeting with her on breaking her contract, Holly has decided being a DCC is no longer the best fit for her and her future plans.  We wish her the best with all her endeavors as she is a truly talented performer" or if it's a "practice has started and Holly is nowhere to be found..." 

 

Reading through recent comments others seem to confirm this, the dates and that Holly 'apologized' then walked out the door and never came back (or at least not for awhile, till she had to return stuff).  I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote a mean letter to K*J except that Kelli still likes some of her posts on IG. I'd think they'd really try to distance themselves from her but maybe Kelli is just taking the high road.

On another thread someone wrote that insider info said Holly didn't show up for practice and no longer answered calls or texts.  Supposedly she wrote K & J that she quit.  Maybe she thought they would beg her to come back.

The Tiffany diamond stud earrings, hmm (note: I am personally spoiled by my better half), but I think they should be larger (to compensate for all that she lost), or at least she should hold out for a ring. 

However I am not making any assumptions about who gave Holly these gifts, for all I know she earned them herself from dancing, or her family gave her a nice gift to lift her spirit.   

She will be missed on the squad by fans for sure.

[pasdetrois]

Holly was genuinely upset when they called her in the first time about her weight. I think she was still determined to submit to the rules without complaint in order to be on the team.

When they called her in a second time, again on camera, and chastised her in a very severe way, she was humiliated. Based on the contract as well as the underage drinking law, she deserved to be confronted. But I think being used for TV ratings is what pushed her over the edge. Perhaps she found out that Jenna threw her under the bus. I would have felt the same way - embarrassed, then angry.

Thanks Cherryblossom, I hate to see someone throw away an opportunity.  I know it's tough to be a DCC but each candidate goes in knowing what it's like.  I was a big fan of Holly's.  

[cmccasandra]

I don't feel like Brennan will make it. They keep mentioning her facial expressions. I also wonder about Christina, I think that's her name, the one that was out of breath last night.

 

Holly needs to own what she chose to do. Jenna may have been there, but Holly still made the choice to hang out with them and whatever else happened.  I really liked her, she is an amazing dancer. It's a shame she threw it all away. 

[Shallan]

Am I the only one who thinks Christina will be a one-and-done girl? She bugged me again this episode with her excuses for being winded. From what we've seen so far I can't believe they cut Brennan and kept Christina. Christina should be thanking her lucky stars that Holly and Erica quit/were cut or I don't think she would have made the team. 

Jenna was in a tough position. She had to rat out her friend to keep her job or lost her job to keep her friend. While I don't think Jenna was innocent in this it was still a tough position to be in. I'm sure she learned a lot from this as this probably won't be the last time she is in this position. Holly has only herself to blame and I don't think for a second that she is sorry for what she did. She flat out lied, then tried to backtrack and ultimately didn't seem remorseful at all. Her comment in the locker room "it was fun" spoke volumes. If she had taken her chastisement and been truly remorseful I could see her redeeming herself (like Whitney who seemed truly remorseful). Her attitude shows she is very entitled and thinks the rules really don't apply to her. Some people would take this as a learning experience and she seems to have taken it like a petulant toddler would have.  There are other talented dancers out there who don't have her attitude; guess who directors are going to hire?

Holly is not the only vet to be called in for weight this season or seasons past. Vets have been cut at auditions for "looking soft" She did look heavy in the episode they called her in for.

As for being embarrassed a 2nd time...again on her. Don't do things that break the contract don't get called in on camera. It's a very simple concept.

I wonder how it would have all gone if she hadn't had the embarrassment of her shirt coming undone during auditions in front of everyone. i wonder if that hadn't been shown on tv, then the weight, then the drama of the contract, esp as all were used for ratings, and she'd have known they would be, that she might have responded differently and just taken the punishment. quitting over it when you could have clung to the job for one more year and then left by choice...seems ridiculous to me. then again going to work nearly daily and knowing your bosses are just looking for any excuse...Ive been there and I wept all the way to work everyday

Not alone. for me its beyond overpriced and overhyped. and a lot of people seem toview pricey=good. it isn't. not to mention the guys (and gals) that think pricey=romantic. the most romantic thing my guy ever did for me was get my pick and mix candy when I was upset. I'd never said which ones I liked, but he'd noticed when we went to the movies, once. and so he went to the thetre, and he got me my faves. it meant so much more to me that he had noticed what I liked, rather than getting me a generic box of chocolates. romance does not equal expensive, no matter what people think. tiffany earrings would mean no more to me than topshop, in fact I'd be worried about how much he spent and be concerned wearing them out and that i'd lose them.  my twenty buck duffle carries my gear and I don't have to worry about my bank balance.

 

but if those earrings ARE from zeke and she thinks shes getting a ring...yikes

THIS!  I stopped watching The Real Housewives of (Insert City), Kardashians, etc because the story lines are so focused on drama & conflict!  The reason I stared watching MTT is because the story lines were focused on dancing and the struggles the rookies faced as it pertains to their dancing.   I really hope the show returns to its old format where the emphasis was on dancing.

For sure Savannah and Christina wouldn't have made it of not for Holly and Erica. i also think that Tara, Savannah and Christina are one year girls if they even finish the year. I feel if Savannah and Tara take feedback well, they may start to shine and and stay for more.

Other one year girls for me are Molly and Alexandria. 

I feel that they are in damage control mode planning for next season because they are going to lose a few vets.

Jenna will retire.

Jinelle and Lacey up in the air. However with Lacey, I believe she may stay for another year since she is the only one left from her rookie class and one year away from being the only rookie in her class to get the 5 year charm.

Kashara, Robin, Chantal, Stephanie, Bess may be staying another year but who knows. Simone and Amy might leave because they are planning weddings and getting married. 

Cersten might leave if she doesn't defer medical school for another year.

Maddie, Heather, Maggie and Khalyn i think will be future leader vets so maybe they are being groomed to stay at least 4 and 5 years. I think Milan and Tess  are solid and slowly improving. 

Tasha, Jessika, Yuko, if they don't audition at their best, could get cut. 

Rookies this year who could go 4 or 5 years in my opinion  - Kalyssa, Lauren, Miranda, Lexie, Alexis, and Gina (depending on attitude issues), and Keyra. 

Rachel  - I'm still trying to figure her out. But she definitely has talent and potential. 

If i forgot someone, they they are forgettable in my opinion LOL

SORRY FOR THIS LONG POST, IT WAS JUST ON MY MIND AND I COULDN'T STOP TYPING.

Posted this under hidden contents on episode thread but should have here: 

 My confusion now is when exactly Holly quits...July 27 or 28 was Doomsday if I recall correctly and it seems like that was the day they showed on last night's episode.  In the weeks following as info trickled around, multiple people told me that Holly and Jenna were the only ones called in that evening - Jenna took her medicine and turned a corner after that point, texted all the vets to apologize for formations having to be changed because of her actions and did help a lot with rookies while everyone was in Ohio.  I was told though that that was the last time Holly was there, that after that meeting she went off the radar.  Didn't show up to practice the next day and no one could get in touch with her, wasn't answering texts or anything.  I guess I just assumed she blew up in the office when they told her they knew about her underage activities but now it's looking more like she pretended to be sorry (maybe she was in that moment, who am i to judge that) but was so humiliated and upset she decided to quit; her 'but it was fun' quip makes me think that must be it?  Omg i never even assumed she wouldn't tell Kelli and Judy she was quitting, that she was like 'whatever, i'm out' and just never came back?!  I am really intrigued now too to see how this goes down moving forward, if next week Kelli has a talking head of 'since our meeting with her on breaking her contract, Holly has decided being a DCC is no longer the best fit for her and her future plans.  We wish her the best with all her endeavors as she is a truly talented performer" or if it's a "practice has started and Holly is nowhere to be found..." 

 

Reading through recent comments others seem to confirm this, the dates and that Holly 'apologized' then walked out the door and never came back (or at least not for awhile, till she had to return stuff).  I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote a mean letter to K*J except that Kelli still likes some of her posts on IG. I'd think they'd really try to distance themselves from her but maybe Kelli is just taking the high road. 

That’s interesting. I guess it’s just immaturity on Holly’s part. Given that this wasn’t her first infraction, the punishment actually wasn’t that severe. Not sure why she flipped out, but maybe she talked to someone who blew her head up, “just quit! You’re better without them. They’ll be flailing in the water without you!” - that sort of thing. Hopefully she learns and grows up. It at least appears that Jenna has at least pulled her crap together. Even if it’s partly based on trying to get on K&J’s good side again, at least pretending like you’re sorry and making yourself useful (helping the rookies while the vets are in Ohio for example) can go a long way in how ppl view you. 

If Holly is going to continue being a “bad girl,” then she needs to get savvier. First, don’t get caught! Second, realize when you get caught!  Jenna correctly recognized immediately that they were caught and went into survival mode. It took Holly way too long to understand that they weren’t “asking” her if she violated the nonfraternization policy, but that they were confronting her with knowledge that she did. You could tell Judy was completely over it once she lied right off the bat.

I was really proud of Brennan last night because Judy said that she was the only one (in her line) that got it right.  Brennan said that she had been practicing at home over the year.    

I feel like they would have been better off taking Brennan over Christina. I like Christina and I was rooting for her but honestly she is not a good match for DCC.

It must have been hard for Jenna when Holly showed up at her house and forced her to dress up, put on makeup, and go clubbing.  

It must have been hard for Jenna to sit at the same table as Holly when Zeke & group accidentally sat down at same table. 

Poor Jenna, there was nothing she could do.  Jenna said she was tsk tsking in her head, hoping Holly would come to her senses.

Now, for Jenna, one less competitor for her point...oh wait, Hello Kashara!

Bingo. Smartest post about this thus far. Seriously. This is exactly why I think Kelli should've cut Jenna immediately. Shitty, shitty, shitty friend. That's worse than being a poor leader. I wonder if there megan, amy t, Melissa etc had stuck around, if she would've cut Jenna. They're just so short on strong vets this year, and Jenna is a really great dancer.

This.  KaShara more than holds her own at point.

 

 

Also, for everyone who is saying Holly lied to their faces...it's possible she didn't.  She said, "I'm not CURRENTLY talking to a player."  That means she and Zeke were done by the time the meeting happened.  If they were, then technically, she didn't lie.  Just saying.

Good point... it's all just semantics!

Judy seemed to take what Holly did way more personally than Kelli. She seemed super pissed off. I think if it had been up to her, both of them would've been gone that night.

Probably her mom lol  

Rewatching the scene you can almost see the wheels flying in Holly's head.  The fact that she says "i'm not seeing anyone anymore" also tells me this is a conversation they've had in the past.  

As others also pointed out, wow, Holly has the most beautiful eyes.  So striking with her hair color.

Wow. That sucked. I hope Holly dropped Jenna fast. Interesting the foreshadowing with Charlotte and the Star tour with the team stuff. Then Jenna lying with a straight face and Judy just silent. Nothing about Jenna’s prior bad acts. Nothing about her active participation. At least Holly showed some remorse. Eventually admitted some wrongs. Judy was all, “ no, nothing to add,” and that look that K&J  exchange every time a girl leaves the office and they’ve had a “conversation”. That same look every year, like its scripted.  As a writer, I get it. As a longtime fan, it’s become strange. Every year, the look.

I think I might have quit, too. Nothing is said about anything Jenna did. Nothing shown on TV. She gets GL, is out there in pictures, front and center on the website. Not to mention, the squad would know what happened and wonder why the two were treated so differently, right? Why would Holly want to come back to a squad where K*J treat she and Jenna so differently, at least on television and everyone knows it. I would be embarrassed and wonder. I’m all for taking your punishment but be fair and open about what everyone did. That goes for Erica, too. I would think Holly might feel singled out and exposed while Jenna gets a pass, minus the Hof and Erica gets to go quietly. Just my thoughts though.
