Shelly, Toni, and Josie are actually from my hometown. Josie actually comes to my gym for camps and privates, and things. Not that she needs defending, but they are really nice people. She just played the game to win. Something I know we in competitive cheerleading know all about. Same as putting level 5 athletes on level 3 teams.... Competitive people try to find a way to win. I don't judge the teams who sandbag to win and I don't judge Shelly for doing what she thought she had to to win. I'm not a big fan of the show so I can't comment on anything else. But I'll say it's a bit intense when her family get death threats for her actions.
