That was an English teacher’s nightmare to read. 

You mean you managed to read it?  Did you count how many brain cells were lost in the process? 🤣  I only skimmed part of it until I couldn't take it anymore, and I think I counted a loss of about 500.

[PattiD4DCC]

PattiD4DCC worldly known as Krabby Patti, will now board a luxury bus and go in search of PattiD4DCC's lost brain cells.  PattiD4DCC will also look for brain cells lost by other members of the most important part of the board: The Posters!

Okay -- PattiD4DCC in full make-up, hair done and looking incredibly beautiful found our brain cells!  A natural and lovely Christina had spray painted them pink and used them as a prop in the Bahamas!

What??  I am assuming Kalyssa wrote it, and she was the Valedictorian!!!!!!!

Yeah well so was my puppy. Top ranked in his obedience class.

Not even pretending my grammar is anywhere near perfect but dang, Kalyssa. 

[KickPretty]

I don’t get it.  What’s Holly up to?  Is she on a reality show or cheering again?  If reality I hope we get more of the “why did you quit DCC?” questions asked and answered honestly 🤷🏽‍♀️👍🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[kalibean]

I think Holly's career isn't taking off quite as quickly as she'd hoped, and she's looking for another opportunity.  This reality show might lead to other opportunities, plus she's probably somewhat monetized on her social media.  Influencers can bring in some solid cash, and reality show starlets can capture quite a followers.  Fascinating to me how much some of the Bachelor Nation peeps make.

She's not my favorite personality wise, but she's certainly got talent.  Trouble is, LOTS of awesome dancers out there.  Hopefully she's hustling enough to support herself.  There are a lot of "working actors" that make a decent paycheck that aren't household names.  Curious if Holly has achieved the equivalent of that in the dance world.  I would think that would require a regular spot on tv, a tour, etc.

Well, I liked Kalyssa, warts and all.

She should have stayed on to get the pinky ring. I understood her reasoning behind her decision though. She wanted to have some time for herself.

I think so too . She reminded me of Kendall Jenner. I’m sad though that Brianna decided to do the lip fillers and whatever else she did to her face. She didn’t need it . The girl was as close to facial perfection as one could get. 

Me too on the the fillers...she didn't need them.  She is a beautiful young lady and doesn't need the work.

 I didn't listen to the podcast myself, but Scorpio1031 posted that according to Melissa Rycroft's recent podcast, Kalyssa was actually kicked off the team because of the risque photos she was posting.

I initially really liked Kalyssa as well -- she was the total package -- beautiful, good dancer, entertaining, intelligent.  She seemed spunky and unique -- I could always pick her out of the crowd.  Because I'm crabby and have to find a fault with everyone, mine with her was her precise and measured manner of  speaking (perhaps an effort to hide an accent?).   But she lost me as a fan with her attempt at "modeling."  While I can understand her wish to show off that cute physique, she is simply too petite for mainstream modeling and veered into a direction that wasn't for me but that I hope is working for her.

What irked me about Kalyssa was every time she was in front of the camera she was all about her grandmother and doing it for her and wanting to make her proud (🙄 )....  tried so hard to give off that I am a good girl in a bad girl body vibe.  Wonder if her grandmother was still alive would be proud of those risque photos all over the internet 🙄

Anyone know what’s going on with Kelli Quinn, who retired last season but is and all-star this season? She posted a story on Instagram that says she is “absolutely gutted” and then another story that thanks people for reaching out to her and that she will be ok and that she still believes in love as long as it’s with the right person. Wondering if something happened between her and her husband 💔  
 

I hope I’m not reading too much into it.

I just logged on to ask the same question.  She also took the W off of her IG name.  I think their marriage is already over.  Something about that whole relationship seemed "off" to me.  She comes across, to me, as very insecure and needy.  Just my opinion.

If you ever peeked at his IG, he seemed just as enamored with her, lots of gushing posts, so I don’t know if she was overly insecure or anything. But it definitely looks as if they’re done for some reason...

I am never so nosy as when marriages break up so soon. It’s not at all that I’m happy about it, I’m just always so baffled about what could have happened already that was insurmountable. (Trust me, I know there are insurmountable things, I’m not judging)

Honestly from her post, what I inferred was that he cheated in which case yes that’s probably pretty insurmountable. 

[DarlinClementine]

The comments lead me to think marriage, but they are very newly wed.  Sometime this summer.  

She seems so sweet, but maybe a bit naive.

Cheating is insurmountable.  I think I read somewhere his cheating has been an issue in the past.

I am always skeptical of relationships in which people feel the need to overly gush.  To me, it screams insecurity.  Again, just an opinion.

Oh I agree, but it seemed to me that they were both doing it, so I didn’t think she was any *more* insecure or needy than him.

She also had something about being Mrs Wilson and that's gone too.

Seriously Holly?? I was just going to log into Instagram to see what I could find about Kelli Quinn and was presented with this:

Holly looks good but I expected more. I forget how young she is tho. 
 

has being booted from DCC for her blackballed from other pro dance teams? 

[tteek74]

I was also curious about Kelli. Mainly because she is top five for me. I adore her. She’s so pretty and sweet. It took her years to get noticed and then she killed it.

I got bad vibes about that relationship. Idk why. Sometimes I just feel something odd; I felt  the same way about my sister’s husband and he’s in jail now. 

If it was cheating, then I’m glad she found out sooner than later. It sucks, but she can move past it and find someone who will love and appreciate ONLY her. I wish her the best, and I’m sorry she has to go through the pain of a relationship ending if that’s the case.

It looks like she is performing at the Latin American Music Awards.  Nothing wrong with that.  I don't think she's been blackballed  - I think she's pursuing a career in dance wherever the opportunity takes her.  

She looks great, but still not a fan of the curlier hair.

[TUOwl84]

Just a thought...

what if Kelli didn’t audition this season so she could get married, and now her marriage could already be over? Ugh! I feel so bad for her. I could of seen her on the squad for at least for 5 years and she ended it at 3 years.  I was pretty surprised when she announced she was retiring.

She can always reaudition.  It's been done :-).  Like whoever it was that left to have a baby then came back (I'm blanking on names)

She had a nasty sinus infection that involved surgery.  It's possible the symptoms from that kept her from trying out.

I think if it was about her marriage Kelli  would’ve taken down all the photos with her and her husband. Not saying it isn’t about her marriage but many things can break someone’s heart aside from their spouse. A close friend of mine earlier this year found out her parents were getting a divorce and that her mom had been disloyal for many years with a family friend, she was/is devastated, she was close with her mom and had always saw their marriage as “relationship goals” ☹️

Sorry very confused ...Kelli was out of HIS league ?   I would think he was out if hers if we all agree she was the better person .  Not being disrespectful, just trying to follow the conversation 🙂

I think people are guessing it's her own marriage because she did have "Wilson" in her name but it's gone now. I personally find it really weird when people go back and delete all of their photos with an ex, especially if there are a ton (which she posted about him all the time so she would have to delete a lot!) I still have photos with my ex way back on my Instagram that I just never deleted.  Maybe she will address it further..

[pinkandsparkly13]

And maybe she's not ready to delete pictures yet if it just happened. Maybe she will when she starts to move on. And who knows, maybe they might try to work it out.

That’s not why she retired! She had a health issue that made dancing difficult. Nothing bad or crazy. I haven’t spoken with her in a few months, but last time we chatted she was debating retiring due to this minor health issue.

Looks have always been a bonus to me...there are so many other more important things in picking a partner...I used to date a guy who looked like Buck Owens...he was great and we had so much in common....his looks never mattered.

Mostly fraternizing & going to bars while underage.  On the show in one scene Kelli told her she didn't trust her and said "Should we cut you?"  Holly said she wanted to get their trust back.  Next thing you know Kelli said Holly turned in her resignation letter.

I've always felt that Kelli was uncharacteristically easy on Holly, i.e., an average skilled dancer would have been fired without hesitation!!   Goodness, Holly lied through her teeth to Kelli saying initially "I didn't...I'm not...."Whaaa?"  then on to "I'm sorry; it was wrong & immature of me; it won't happen again..,".  So possibly after-the-fact Kelli was told about Holly's snarky comment "Oh well, it was fun!", or, Kelly told Charlotte and Charlotte said "This is a privilege...on my team!  Let her go!"  Because Kelly was going to keep her on the team initially (due to her exceptional dance skills, I believe).  

[PrincessLeia]

Yeah Holly P quit before she got fired. It just wasn’t shown that way on the show. 

[ByTor]

When Holly said she wasn't currently talking to players, my mind immediately went to "ok fine, just what are you doing with the players then??" LOL

I honestly thought Holly was WAY too big for her britches & her dancing wasn't so great that she was worth the attitude she oozed.  I hope the fact that she didn't become the big star she seemed to think she'd be in LA humbled her a little.

[VintageJ]

I think when Holly said “But it was fun, though” that she was pretty much over the micro-managing of the DCC.  She knew her spot on the team was hanging by a thread, that Kelli would never trust her again, she would probably lose her spot in the triangle, can’t remember if she was told she wouldn’t be going to Canton or not.  She probably figured why bother at this point when she could be living her life in full versus this micro-managed life.  So I think she weighed her options and a life of freedom won.
