I think this would have been better as a movie, not a show. It probably wouldn't have flopped as much as it did and got canceled after only one season.
Idk about that, they left a pretty solid melo-drama packed season, with decent writing. But you're right, the show was really expensive to produce and would've been better as one production.
I was in love with this show... was so upset when it was cancelled. It seemed to be doing pretty well with viewership and the storylines were ACTUALLY DECENT for a change. So sad...
You ran THREE EFFIN' MILES?!!!! OMG! Bravo! I actually became anorexic because of this "beauty" stuff plus some other personal factors. I'm recovered now though, so I have a better understanding of the damaging psychology that these photoshopped images/videos cause in women, and I try to spread awareness as much as possible. I remeber seeing a video of a model at a photoshoot plus the result of the photoshopping afterwards. In real life, she had quite a bit of belly fat, just like an average person. After the photoshop, she looked like the women in this video. 😕 So, don't feel bad about yourself for not being like a centrefold model! Because what you're seeing is an ILLUSION!
island girl680 I'm 12, in 7th grade, I'm a cheerleader and I am one of the best on my team , and I'm one of the thicker girls , so I believe you can do it !!! 👍❤️ Age don't determine how good you will be at cheer. Remember this. Good luck. 😊
Not just confuse the other girls. Marti is plain lucky that the redhead in green DIDN'T move to get up to the same beat of the others, otherwise Marti's cartwheel while using the poor girl as a prop without consent or planning would have resulted in two injured girls (with the redhead taking the biggest brunt of it) Marti had a chance to show off the dance moves and polished gymnastics technique when they were showing the solos and then how high and polished she could jump. Meanwhile, THIS particular test wasn't about how she could somehow do her own choreography or whatever the story is signaling is "special" about Marti. This test is to see how fast can a candidate learn a choreography AND, most importantly, can the candidate move in sync with the rest. It would've made more sense for Marti to do the in sync and learning a new choreography after watching/practice three times FIRST and completely fail it only to redeem herself in the solo tests that require her to show off the gymnastics and maybe even a few dance moves. This way, not only would it show the strengths/weaknesses clearly on top of the thematic lone wolf crap Marti's doing, but it would also not turn Marti into a Mary Sue who can disrupt a test for everyone else and be rewarded for it.
I’m coming back to this comment to say that I’m a writer and one of my characters is going to have a scene where she practices to join the cheer team and I absolutely love your analysis of this whole scene AND the suggestions for how it could and should have gone.
This is an old comment so you probably won't see my answer but I think the reason this 'works' for the story is that it's established that the Hellcats haven't been doing very well in competitions lately, and that part of that may be outdated or uninteresting choreography. I think the coach responds to what Marti is doing here /because/ it's very different to what the other girls are doing. It isn't so much about technical skill, though she demonstrates that she does have that too, as it is about recruiting someone who could potentially help them come up with new ideas and choreographies, rather than just follow them. I totally agree that in real life this would be suuuper risky behaviour and that they definitely give Marti a lot of Mary Sue traits (e.g being so good at music, gymnastics, academics, dancing, being very conventionally attractive but 'effortlessly' so unlike someone like Alice, having every man she meets fall hopelessly in love with her etc etc)
I love this show so much. The choreography for the audition and the dance with the music “bam” and when she flipped like that is so iconic that I never think another cheerleading drama beats this part
It would be amazing if the entertainment studio that made this tv series decided to combine the episodes to make a movie out of it or put it up in the streaming services. It would be a hit.
this was like one of the greatest tv shows that I think the cw had ever done and they wound up canceling it and it's not fair. Well it's not, there was so many people out there that actually loved and enjoy this, Hellcats was truly a great one and I enjoyed it and I know other people did too. Oh my goodness, even the music was awesome and this is coming from a guy who only listens to hard rock and heavy metal. The CW needs to put this back on, well never mind. Those who played in this tv show back in the day are probably all way to old now to do something like this again, It's a shame.
Watching this again (I used to love this scene) maybe it's because I'm older but this = cringe. Good thing this was a show because I don't see what that coach saw
Agree 100% I used to love it I thought she was so cool... Bring it on worthy... Now watching it, this was so stupid. This show probably wasn't as good as I thought when it first came out
lol be nice -- is that an adams apple and i think its fefe dobson's version of rockstar was the african american girl rutwina wesley (tara thornton) from true blood?
I wouldn't worry, It's a tv show, if it isn't perfect they will re-shoot it until it's perfection. Everyone makes mistakes, you are probably awesome. x
I was thinking, THIS is audition? Hell, I don't think I can do it in another 100 years! No wonder it's called Hellcats :P They are all my Cheerleading Queens! :D
@raikougal only guys have adams apples, so when she does the splits alice is like "i dont think so" because guys cant do the splits like that because it would hurt like hell
