This is what T&T doesn't capture in a 45 minute show! The love the girls have for each other and for pageants! These girls make friends, have fun and gain skills that will help them all thru life! I was so anti-pageant until I went to one with my daughter and saw the girls running around and playing with each other, both the girls and their parents love these pageants and if they didn't love them, I actually believe that they wouldn't be there! Just in Melissa's picture alone, 2 different coaching groups are represented, 6-7 of those girls where competing against each other in the same age group and all of them where competing in the same supreme group! Plus their is a least 4-6 different cheer gyms represented! But they still all love each other and support and cheer for one another! Now like with everything kids are involved in, there are some crazy pageant moms, that make it hard for the rest of us, but there are some crazy cheer moms, that make it hard for the rest of us cheer moms! Think about if T&T did a spinoff with the most extreme cheer moms...can you imagine what people would think of us cheer moms?! Lol
