Mom Shannon says that Brooke is going to have to use her brain to get through the tryouts. (Something that has, thus far, been foreign to TLC and all reality TV.) Shannon says that Brooke needs to TELL the judges what she can do. Brooke seems so-so with the suggestion… like she does about everything else. Not a lot of passion, but smart enough to not say no to her mother.
Alisha arrives at the gym and asks Cassidee if she can tumble one handed. Cassidee says that she can but that she still wants to go home. Instead of what we’re used to hearing, Coach simply asks if she wants to go home (yes) and if she wants to be carried out (yes). Many points to Coach Mom.
The doctor meets with Shannon, Bill and Brooke and says that Brooke has, at some point suffered from a stress fracture in her spine. Oddly, he does say that she can tumble, but just to watch how she feels. However, he does go on to suggest that Brooke needs to shed some pounds. Mom Shannon seems a bit surprised (really?) and asks “5-15? 20?” and the doctor wisely responds he’s not going to put a limit on it. I bet Bill is hoping that maybe Mom Shannon will decide to diet with her daughter and shed some of her own weight.
Shannon interviews that the doctor wasn’t saying that he wants Brooke to lose weight, but more that he wants her stomach muscles stronger and to get some of the fat off. Yeah, um, Shannon… that’s what losing weight is… and it is what he wants… overweight people tend to have back problems. My non- licensed opinion is that it has something to do with the back supporting all the fat.
But true to fashion, Mom Shannon heard that Brooke could tumble, so off they went to gym (my vote says they may have made a ‘run for the border’ and sucked down a Chalupa first). Brooke starts working on her back handsprings and is pretty good. Shannon stands to the side alternately asking/demanding,
“Did it hurt? No? Do it again. Did it hurt? No? Again. No? Again”. Well, as least she’s not being pushy and “studies show” that the best way to mend a broken back is to immediately throw the patient into high impact tumbling. But who cares, Mom Shannon is smiling and Brooke, well, she’s standing.
The moms, including Coach, decide to get together for drinks and dish. And by dish, I mean gossip. Ann orders a Dirty Shanchez Martini. Coach wants a Red Bull and vodka, and I don’t know what Bonnie or Shannon orders (but for Shannon, I’m going to vote it’s a White Russian with whipped cream and a side of bacon, and for Bonnie, I’m guessing it’s a couple of shots with a shot chaser). Mandy arrives a little late, but she isn’t drinking which is completely foreign to the other ladies (myself included). Ann comments to the table that she doesn’t know if they’re going to let Bonnie in their circle yet. Mind you, Bonnie is sitting across the table from her, so while this episode has been tame (read, boring) I think I can see some potential for drama.

Madelyne27–welcome welcome welcome!!!!!!!!! I am so excited this show is going to be recapped!!!
and ready…….OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya know Shannon— ole Cawfee is no doctor but am pretty sure that your daughter losing weight will help her back and um…..am pretty sure all the doctors you went to “that found nothing wrong” with your daughter also told you she needs to lose weight. Coach never told her to slim down?????
“drunk hair”–bbwwaahhaaahhaaaaaaaaa—classic-she looks bombed!!! And yet with a touch of Duchess Sarah Ferguson!!
Torrann bears watching–she let the flyer drop?? Just “let her drop”–shudders…..this kid has “serial killer in training” written all over her.
What is up with Bonnie and her daughter (Olivia??) being called by their surname??? For this reason only I am giving the Stuckey gals a few weeks so I can get to know them better–I see Momma Bonnie’s intensity and get that her kid chokes at the moment of truth in competition.
As a gal who takes her wine in a pint glass ( er…….less tippy that way) she should have had a wine spritzer to be cordial and given them a little more time. But obvi she isnt whoring for face time so—-BRAVO Bonnie–good for you.
Oh Shannon–how much sabotage will you do to your daughter??????
Cant wait to check back and read the rest of the comments—and welcome again Madelyne27.
I just got done watching the episode from last night…. oh my we are in for a treat…
I remember all the moms from T&T and that is all I can think of.
Is it just me, or does it seem so wrong that there are such tiny girls on the Silver team. Alicia’s daughter Cambree is on the silver team. But she is like 5 and looks like she weighs less then a 20 pound sack of potatoes! Must be why she is a “flyer”
Shannon is the shit stirrer of the bunch! Yeah your daughter could stand to loose some weight. I was a thick 13 year old. By the time I reached high school it all seemed to even out. Then again I was not trying to do back hand springs. I was that chunky kid in ballet and tap, but I was having fun…
Can’t wait for the next recap! Welcome to the family Madelyne!
Time for me to throw my 2 cents in about this OVERLY STAGED, and VERY FAKE show! My daughter attends CTR. This WHOLE show is a scam! These mothers are all friends ALTHOUGH, Bonnie, Ann, and Michelle really do have a love/hate relationship. Ann is EXACTLY how she is being shown….there is no acting there. Torrann is the gym BRAT!! Ann/Torrann have run off some very talented girls from the CTR gym because of they are both downright bitches!! This gym is NOT like this at all! The YST wasn’t a team that had ryouts, they just did that for the show. This is a team made up of kids who wanted to be on TV. The VERY BEST OF THE BEST at that gym will not be featured because those parents had common sense by not exploiting their girls! The drama is staged! The producers asked for and got what they wanted. They even did several takes of some scenes until it seemed elievable! I can reassure everyone that there are lots of kids in that gym that are way more talented than the girls featured! I hate that you only get to see the fat, psychotic moms….and their poor daughters who are following very close in their footsteps!
*scoots in close to PageantLurker*
Please please dish!! Even though it is fake, I am still going to watch!! Alicia was cray-cray when she was on T & T, so were Bonnie and Anne. Of course they want to be on tv again. This is probably the only way for them to do it…
*shoves @thisbuggs4u off the chair and sits down closer to @pageantlurker*…
I guess i always know things are so staged and anyone who agrees to have a film crew follow them around is clearly a brick short… but i’m so glad they are…
As a cheer mom this show makes me laugh and makes me cry. First of all, this is NOT an elite team! These kids MIGHT be a level 2 on a good day. To make an “elite” team you have to have a back handspring?! Seriously?! My daughter is on an level 5 team and they have to be able to do a standing full. Lets film a team of that caliber and I’ll watch all day long. Second that coaches screeching is enough to make me stick an icepick in my own eardrums! I can’t take it. This show is a JOKE!
@Pageantlurker… I knew it… WOW.. how fake they are.. This show sucks but I will still watch it to see what else kind of fools they make of themselves. Ridicoulous and acting like children. That shit is not cute,, I am sorry.. this show wont last long.
@Frizzypop.. I so agree.. Where I am from our kids would kick their asses. The ONLY one that would even compare to our elite team would be Cassidee. If she is showing this group and thinking they are something WOW.. you are dumber than I thought you were Alisha. They suck and so does your show!! But loving these recaps!!
Did anyone else see the show \Cheer!\ On CMT? (I think that was the name). I was hoping this show would be like that…actually about cheerleading. Watching grown women bully and antagonize each other like mean, insecure 11 year olds (especially Ann with her ring of neck fat) is not entertainment. It’s ugly and depressing.
I’m not sure about Cheer! But there used to be a show Cheerleader Nation… I honestly thought that Cheer Perfection would have the staged drama we’ve all come to expect, but I thought they would be better. Like other commenters said, they are awful. Not an elite squad at all…
Haha I’m an RN and totally thought Ann must be on blood pressure meds as well! Torann better keep up with Cheerleading or any physical activity bc she comes from not promising genes. It drives me crazy when things come so easy to people who don’t want it as much as others do. Torann appears to care less.
I am also terrified to fall backwards. Could do a front flip and front handspring as a kid/teen, but never a back handspring without a spot and I was always terrified when doing back walkovers, despite never falling while doing one. Alana should have told her mom that Bonnie should try it first to see how she likes falling on her head since that is what Alana seems to do whenever she tries it by herself.
P.s. yes the girls on the show Cheer were really good. I enjoyed that program and hope it returns, despite the owner being on the slightly obnoxious side of Jersey stereotypes.
P.p.s. Please don’t shove me off the chair Madelyne! although I like gossip too
Loved your take on the EE names. I have a friend who has an EE name and named her daughter an EE name, so it cracked me up and now I want to start calling her Mommee.
Ugh, that silver team was B A D bad! ugh! Poor little no-backhandspring couldn’t even have made the CTR tin team, wtf was her mom thinking she could make the silver? Yikes. Also, the chunky one still needs to lose weight and still obviously doesn’t love to cheer. Several of these kids don’t seem to enjoy what they are doing. Pageant lurker, I’m glad to know that this team is a total farce because I was lmao that they were \delusiona\ enough to think this team was high level. I do get a kick out of coach and so far I like the brunette mom with the girl that is pretty good.
Pageant lurker, also curious if “poor little no-backhandspring” has gotten one since last night’s episode? My daughter who was a high-level gymnast thinks that girl will never get it.
No back handspring for Alana yet! Bonnie is seriously one egg short of a dozen! She and Ann are NUTS! I could dish dirt on Ann ALL day long. She is a total whack job and so is her kid!
PageantL– then have at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dish to maahhhh luuuuuuu I have a real “need to know” if A) Bonnie is a totes drunky pants??
B) Is Torann the serial killer in training that I think she is????
@hot cawfee….Actually Bonnie is just very vivacious! She is just an upbeat person, and not a drunk LOL….she just has nervous ticks I think
Torrann is just a spoiled brat, all courtesy of her mother and father! She is just used to getting her way, and I think the child has no heart at all…its all about her BUT you can’t really blame her, I mean, you see what she is being raised by!
aw, bless Alana’s heart
1) Bonnie is a pageant director, and both Torrann and Cassadee have competed in her pageants. Odd, isnt it?
2) the baby’s name is Chanlee (with a c and ee)
