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.
