Every time you post something, I read it in the voice of Glendia the good witch. And everything you say would be something she would say if she were a cheer mom.

You know I chose this avatar one because okay I am a goody goody but I have been known to have my wicked witch moments as we all do. Anyways, I feel like when you meet a cheer mom the thought goes through your head "are you a good witch or a bad witch - which is what Glenda asks at this point the avatar is from" Seemed good to me

Sorry I haven't been on in a while to see these comments... we were asked to come into the room and meet the team and hang out with the before we went and competed. We did not just barge in the room as it appeared on the show. I don't believe there are any videos on youtube with the entire routine but I can see if I can get one for anyone who is interested :) thank you all for your comments/well wishes passion competed today and got first place and grand champs :)

It was hard to wait 3 days to post after reading some of this :p Yes we were sooo invited into that room (kids and coaches). They even had to do like a 'take two' because they were at the wrong door :rolleyes: They spent more than a hour in the room...talking, socializing and even doing a bit of small stunting between the teams. It was indeed a shame that only a very selected few mins were shown but "IT'S TV!!" I don't get any of the comments about "hope we got paid"....we were there at US Finals to compete, to Cheer (would love to get paid for that-winkwink). As far as the part "we change our routine every practice".... we found it pretty entertaining how they captured our coach saying it (by the way, it was part of a response to more conversation) but again.... IT'S TV....it's how they decided they wanted to capture us. Do we change our routine every practice?...JUST ABOUT...heck we've been known to change it in WARMUPS! haha Let's not make it seem like we come out with a new routine everyday...but yes, we constantly make changes to things that may not be working, to improve difficulty, new ideas and to constantly make it the best we can. Our kids and coaches are very dedicated to the sport and we also love to see everyone (all gyms) compete at their best. I could sit all day at a comp and watch all the teams at all the levels compete. Love the sport and work you can tell so many put into it!!! HAVE A GREAT COMP YEAR!!!!:D

The kids from USA Allstars must have been you want us to act how. They are a great group of kids to compete against but they bring their game they know they are good and they don't get intimidated - in a good way - please no one take that meaning they really act snotty because have met them and they do not they are very friendly and talented kids and we compete AGAINST them. I feel sorry for USA Allstars because they are a good gym and certainly do not need that negative stuff connected to them. I hope this show goes silently away and they people at CTR coaches and parents grow up before their kids do and realize how bad this is for cheer and how negatively they are being portrayed - otherwise they just look like they don't get that people are laughing at them not with them.

Thanks Mom2Cheergirls.....really while we work very hard, we are a very social, friendly gym. We are not caught up on any of the TV details. I do think it is a shame they didnt show a more social, bonding "good luck" side of things but I guess that's not how a lot of reality tv goes. My son cheered for Passion last season (along with my daughter) and I found him most of the time with other teams 'socializing', making friends. Really, its a great group of people (parent, kids, coaches, owners) GOOD LUCK THIS YEAR!!!
