I have seen a thread like this in the past and had an opinion about it but decided not to express it...until now... my thought is this...and maybe I am taking the name a little too literally, but when I think of a scorpion (the actual critter) I see a tail that comes up over the back and it has arch or bend to it. I think it is AMAZING that these young girls are soooo flexible, but imo it is not attractive to see a scorpion that goes needle straight. At that point it is no longer a "scorpion", it is a.... "stick" or something. I find the scorpions with a slight bend or arc are much more beautiful. Also, when you have 7 or 9 stunts doing scorpions and only one girl can do the "stick" position, I think it tends to be more of a distraction, rather than an asset.
