Cheer Perfection Rant

Okay guys, so I think that from now on I'm just going to say what I think about the Cheer Perfection episodes on my blog and linking it to Twitter that way I'm not blowing up my followers timelines. Because trust me; I usually have a lot to say after an episode. I just can't help myself with all of the drama that goes on between the coaches and the moms. And if you don't like what I have to say about it then don't read this post, so here we go. (:

I don't think that Andrea, as much as I love her quotes, should have become President over the Team Moms simply because she volunteered. But I also don't think that Ann should have gotten it either. If she can't handle being Team Mom; then how is she going to be able to handle the responsibility of being over all of the Team Moms. I also would like to know why Michelle even cares who the President of the Team Moms is, if she isn't a Team Mom then it's not like she has to answer to them. I also don't get Alisha; one minute she's upset because the moms are fighting, but then she comes up with ideas that she knows will cause even more drama and tension. Even Shannon doesn't like the idea of Andrea being the President, because apparently "somebody has lost their fricking fracking mind." And besides we all know that Shannon is the newest member to hop on this "Team Bonnie" bandwagon, so if Shannon doesn't like it then it probably wasn't a good idea in the firstplace. Not to mention that I could feel the tension in the room when Andrea overstepped Ann and got the posterboard for Alsiha. Although I will say that Ann does need to get over the Fab Five competition thing and do the job which she volunteered to do. It's not like Alisha asked her to make the poster.

Next I don't really understand why there's a Team Bonnie and a Team Ann. They both act the exact same way. They're both manipulative, Bonnie's just sneakier about it. I think I would rather be Team Ann. At least she's up front and straightforward. Plus her insults are a lot better than the word "Blondie."

But I don't want to be completely negative. Youth Silver is looking really good. Yes, they do need to tighten up and be cleaner especially in stunts and tumbling, but that can be fixed. Although I don't think that it's right for one squad member to blame another squad member for messing up. Yes, I'm talking about Abby, who was told that Youth Silver was going to lose, because of her. First off the teammate who said that was far from perfect, and her stunts didn't always hit either. Especially in practice when she spent more time sitting out of her stunts than standing up. But when Abby starts crying everybody writes it off as her being upset, because she messed up, when in reality she was more than likely crying, because she was told that she was going to cause the team to lose.

I don't want to be completely negative about the parents either. Senior Gray finally had their first performance, and surprisingly they did really well. Considering that RD decided to quit coaching them since Alisha wouldn't stop trying to be the coach. Even though even after RD decided to actually join the parents team, Alicia, still continued to coach. But anyways all of the stunts stayed in the air and there were some impressive tumbling passes. Even Alicia threw a couple of backhandsprings. So the moms actually ended up doing something productive this episode! (:

So that's my rant on the latest episode of Cheer Perfection, I hope you guys liked it. Watch it on Wednesdays at 10/9 Central on TLC.

Cheer Perfection Rant

Hey, guys!! So today I am going to rant about episode three of Cheer Perfection. Let me start off by saying this is a completely opinionated post, so if you don't like what I have to say about this episode, then you don't have to read the whole post. Next off I have cheered for four years and I have coached cheer for two years, as well as taken dance, tumbling, and gymnastics, so I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to rules, techniques, stunts, tumbling, etc. So all of that being said let's jump into my rant. (:

First off I really do love the show. Although the constant drama between the moms gets on my nerves. But I will say that Andrea is my favorite mom, who has by far the BEST quotes (I always have to tweet at least two of them, because I can't pick just one), and Ann is by far the most entertaining especially when she gets mad and tells people to "put their big girl panties on." However, I feel like a lot of the time the focus shifts from the girls to the drama that goes on between the moms, and I feel like a lot of times the coaches fuel the drama both knowingly and unknowingly. So all that being said, I will give a little back story about episode three before I start my rant.

In this episode, Alisha, decides that she's going to choose only five girls from Youth Silver to enter a duo and trio competition in Chicago. After she announces the five girls that she's taking attitudes start to flare. Especially when Kylie is chosen and Torrann isn't. Since Ann won't be going to the competition Andrea takes on the title of "Team Mom" for the day, and Ann refuses to help her out with the girls hair and makeup which results in Andrea calling Ann a "heiffer" when she doesn't answer her phone even though she called her at least ten times. CTR gets first place in both the Duo and the Trio competition. And in the end Andrea tells Alisha that Ann is a horrible team mom and Alisha decides that there should be a president over the team moms. And since Andrea is the only mom there she gladly accepts the title, and says that she will have Ann call her Madame President. Which is quite a clever idea if you ask me. (:

Now for my rant on the actual episode. I will start off by saying that I don't agree with choosing a select few girls from a squad to go to a separate competition. I think it causes division in the squad and it also puts a lot of pressure on the select few chosen, because when there are only two or three girls performing it is a lot easier for judges to catch mistakes. Next off although Ann was being spiteful by not answering her phone on competition day technically she was not Team Mom for The Fab Five. She is Team Mom for Youth Silver and since Youth Silver was not competing technically she was not obligated to answer her phone when Andrea needed help with the girls' hair and makeup. Actually I'm kinda glad that she didn't answer, because we got some great quotes from Andrea one right after the other. Starting with: "There's five of you, who all have two eyes each, so that means I have to decorate ten eyeballs for cheer!!" And ending with: "Diamond what are we going to do? I have white girl makeup! I can't put white girl makeup on you!!" But back to the rant; I think that Alisha was stirring up drama when she decided to make a president over the team moms. And the only reason why Andrea took the position was because she was mad at Ann for not answering the phone and she knew it would get under Ann's skin. So I am sure that lots more drama is going to unfold in the upcoming episodes, that will manage to take the spotlight away from the girls, and Ann and Andrea will more than likely no longer be on speaking terms. So I guess we will see how it all unfolds in the upcoming episodes.

I didn't say this first, so I will go ahead and say it now. Cheer Perfection comes on Wednesday nights at 10/9 central on TLC for anybody who is interested in watching it. Thanks for reading my post. Comment if you liked it and leave suggestions, your opinion, or feedback if you didn't. Just keep it positive, please!

Movie Review Monday (:

Okay guys, I know that I haven't been consistent with this blog, so I thought that I would start doing Movie Review Mondays, or possibly Mani Mondays, depending on what I do over the weekends because I don't always go to the movies or watch new movies. So with all that out of the way I'll jump into the review. (:

Over the weekend I went to see the movie, Mama. For some of those who may not know, Mama, is a horror movie about two girls named, Victoria and Lilly, who end up in abandoned cabin in the woods, and the spirit "Mama" watches over and protects them (she saves Victoria from her dad, but I don't want to give too much away since there are probably people who are planning to see it that haven't.) She tells the girls stories, sings them songs, and feeds them cherries. When the girls are found they are sent to live with their uncle Luke and his girlfriend, Annabelle, under the condition that Victoria is allowed to see the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist thinks that Victoria has multiple personalities disorder, and that "Mama" is one of her personalities. But, Annabelle, knows better because she has seen "Mama" with her own eyes after "Mama" goes on a jealous rampage and terrorizes uncle Luke and Annabelle.

Now that I have given a little bit of a back story I will give my opinion of the movie. For starters I thought it was totally worth paying to see it in theaters. It was definitely scary (I may have jumped and screamed a couple of times. I just couldn't help myself!) without having blood and guts spilling everywhere. There were a couple of character deaths, but they were done off screen for the most part. The storyline was different and original, as well as fairly easy for me to follow and understand; unlike most other horror movies, but that's probably because I spend more time covering my face than actually watching the movie. But that's a whole new topic for a different day. I really liked this movie and I would recommend it to anybody who likes to be scared.

Anyways thanks for reading this guys!! Feel free to let me know if you guys liked this post and please leave me suggestions if you didn't. I love to get feedback, so please leave your comments about this post and my blog in general. And don't worry I will definitely try to be more consistent.
