We start out this week as we always do… Alisha is all about making the routine harder so they can get more points. Last week they did great, but they scored low on their dance routine, so they are going to up the dance part and redo it.
Andrea says that the new dance will have her sweating and stressing all week. Ann talks about the upcoming trip to St. Louis and Andrea tells Ann that she has an Ann hangover. I imagine that it’s about the same as a Goldschlager hangover… minus the gold. They want the girls to do this back rollover thing and Alisha demonstrates by being the BASE, while a bigger girl rolls over her. It doesn’t work. Nor should it. I’ve done it. It ain’t hard.

I’m a hot mess…and I have big eyes.

Alisha, put the base on the bottom.

Torrann is a little bit crazy.
Ann says Andrea’s in training to be perfect roommate and that she got 3 of the 5 rules right. The two she missed where that she didn’t carry Ann’s bags and that she didn’t offer to get Ann anything to eat when she need a trough bag. Kudos to Andrea for thinking of the impending heart attack.

Ann is a whole lot of crazy.
Andrea tells Ann that “Torrann was scary”… but Ann thought she was on her best behavior. Andrea thought Torrann was gonna kill her. Ann said she’s bi-polar. But it’s just an Ann-diagnosed thing, and I’m assuming she doesn’t know how to diagnose sociopathic behavior disorder… Ann, watch a Jeffrey Dahlmer documentary…

Bipolar is one name for it.

Sociopathic is another name.
Kylie and Torran come up to sit with their moms and Ann tells Kylie that her mom doesn’t want to room with them again. But YAY! Kylie says she doesn’t want to room with them either. Smart kid.

Even my btch hates your btch.
Hey, we see Brooke. Hi Brooke!!! Don’t hate me. Shannon tells her to suck it up. Andrea says she looks sad. I think she does too, but Brooke is a teenager. They don’t throw smiles around like younger kids. My daughter rarely smiles at me, unless it goes along with sentences like “I found a pair of boots on Zappos” or “do you happen to be going to Chipotle today”. So, I won’t say Brooke doesn’t like cheering… she just might not like her mom and company hanging around all the time.

Sorry folks… love me some Brooke…. forward roll and all.
If you like it, spread it!:

Oh yeah I remember now. Did anyone else notice that in the van with the Andrea family, Kylie and Andrea both did not have seatbelts on properly or at all? I noticed. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing that. Especially with kids. Kylie had the top part of the seatbelt behind her instead of in front of her. NOOOO!!
i absolutely love that other people dislike I mean detest Ann as much as I! When she said she was going to be the first person in line for a piece of that cake my daughter looked at me and said “That’s it momma. It must be really good cake, because who would go to a party that they weren’t invited to” . She is 8 lol and she even knows better.
When Ann talks, they way her mouth moves, I can’t help but wonder if she had a stroke??? Or maybe there is just a giant piece of beef jerkey lodged in there somewhere. At first I felt sorry for her husband, but seems like he is also a total ass hat. If I had a known enemy and tried to go WITH MY HUSBAND to that person’s party, my husband would fo’ sho’ not have anything to do with that. But then again, this is “reality” tv….so in other words, completely scripted drama. That I love. *hangsheadinshame*
The birthday scene is totally scripted! First off, they lead us to believe that the party was taking place in St. Louis and all the youth silver parents were invited except Ann. But cut to the party scene, and they are clearly at a restaurant in Sherwood….right of Kiehl for all you Sherwood folks! Notice that the only people that came were the people featured in the show! Remember, there are lots of kids on Youth Silver…and lots of parents that like Michelle….so yes, totally scripted for the show! It really is getting more ridiculous each episode! And don’t let tears fool you….ALL scripted!
@CTRParent so that whole restaurant scene is scripted? Tell us more…
It’s not really a secret! As a matter of fact, I heard about this “party” scene before it was even taped. I didn’t know all the specifics as far as fighting and such, but I was told what night they were taping. I really wish the viewing audience would not get all caught up in scripted drama….they are all horrible actors!
@CTRParent well poo…so none of the fights are real? I just find that hard to believe. Oh well I will just keep watching with my rose colored glasses…I can’t wait to see what happens this week!
90 % scripted!!! Some of the “fights” are as real as a scripted tv show can get! Thought HAS to be put into it. These ladies (most of them) have a life that includes REAL JOBS, so this stuff had to be planned around schedules! I promise you this…they ALL received their “schedules” about where they were to be and what was being filmed. This, too, was no secret! I remember seeing Facebook status’ about some of these episodes during production!
I can tell you though that Ann and Torrey are horrible human beings!
Have known both of them for a long, long time-knew Ann since high school. And, they both think they are above everyone.
There is an article in Sync Weekly:

That “keep it real” philosophy, as Henderson put it, includes putting no shine on a sometimes tense relationship with Ann Robinson, the Youth Silver Team mom, whose daughter Torrann is also on the team. There’s real enmity there, and it’s not scripted.
For her part Robinson, who acknowledges the dislike as mutual, said she also felt it important not to change for the cameras, though she is sometimes chagrined at the way it looks.
“I do regret fighting with the other moms constantly,” she said. “I think it looks absolutely ridiculous on TV when I watch it.”
She’d thought, she said, people would see the side of her that likes to have fun, the side that makes her the one kids always want to ride with. Instead, she often looks more like the villain, and that’s had real consequences, she said.
“I guess I’m the mom to hate, and they [viewers] do let me know that,” she said, citing unkind feedback, often of a personal nature, on Facebook and Twitter that kept her indoors through the holidays.
Annapotamus seriously needs to lay off of the bleach and Funyuns (or whatever she stuffs her face with whilst consoling herself that her daughter is not the devil’s spawn.) Of course it should also be noted that if Annapotamus does routinely embarrass her daughter to the degree she did in this episode, she deserves nothing less than the second coming of Regan MacNeil. Did anyone else notice the great discrepancy between the color of Andrea’s face and her neck?! I know it’s difficult to concentrate on anything other than her bulging Pekinese-esque eyes, but someone needs to get that woman to a cosmetics counter STAT. And yes, RD, please shave off that landing strip–it’s just gross.
Keep ‘em coming, Madelyne27! You make this guilty pleasure of a show even more entertaining
Grrr… first my account disappears and has to be re-registered, and now, I’m “awaiting moderation.” WTH, Tvgasm? I’ve always been a good gasmi
“I’m CTR Parent and I’m so cool because I know these mom’s personally and I know the restaurant they ate at and I know everything about everything. I’m super cool!”
All of this incessant bragging about knowing what is really going on at the school sounds like sour grapes from someone who wishes they could have been on the show, and since they aren’t, they want to try to act like they know every single thing that has to do with behind the scenes of Cheer Perfection.
You are so cool!
I typed Ann Cheer perfection horrible into google and found this wonderful recap. Thank God someone is talking about what whacko that Torrann is shaping up to be. I remember her from Toddlers and Tiaras and thought she was a weird kid then but she has gotten even weirder. I really think she will kill someone before she is 16. She is a sociopath for sure. And, Ann is just a rotten human. I dont’ care if this is editing — there is no way you can hide that soul-less crap she spews …and I also felt sorry for the husband until I realized he must be horrible too to have such a gross child and haggy wife.
Andrea is bored and therefore a sh-t disturber. She’s very obvious and pathetic. Her husband looks like a doughboy. I’m not sure why I can’t turn away from this show — it irritates me sooo much but I can’t look away.
Stuckey seems like the only normal one and she’s pretty hyped up on perfectionism. OH well….keep the recaps coming. You nail it every time.
Holy cow you guys are way harsh on a child! All of this stuff is scripted, just like a movie or tv show. There’s always a villian and always a good guy. Yes, all of these parents are assholes for subjecting their families to these scripts so that people can say horrible things about them, but I don’t for one minute believe that these people are as douchey as they seem on tv. I can’t believe anyone would say that they believe a CHILD will TAKE A LIFE before they’re 16?! Yikes!!!
@ Boba Fett………THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT! I wouldn’t take it that far by saying I am “so cool,” but yes, it is nice knowing how HIGHLY scripted and RIDICULOUS this show is! It’s just a shame that the viewing audience is being duped into believing that this stuff is real! And as far as your comment about being “sour grapes” because my family wasn’t picked to be on the show….that’s funny! I would NEVER want to put myself out there to be judged, criticized, and harassed like these families have done! So to you…NO, no sour grapes! And I do happen to have first hand knowledge of what happens behind the scenes so stop acting like my little brother used to with the “mocking”…you sound ridiculous sweetie!
@realitytvjunkie – You’re right, it’s harsh to say that a child will take someone’s life. What I meant to say is that I think a certain child may or may not have the ability to MURDER someone someday. Listen, some kids just give off a vibe.
@CTRParent – i love your insight… but please don’t worry or feel we are being “duped”… we watch the shows… we mock the characters… we accept it’s scripted… and we choose not to care…
Thanks, Madelyne27…I love love LOVE your recaps!
I agree that some scenes or situations may be scripted or over played to look like a bigger issue but anyone can see that for the most part these parents are being “real.” All you have to do is Google these people and their kids and you will see for yourself …. they are who they are. I honestly don’t think that they (the ones being followed) understood that whatever was on the internet before the showed aired is still out there…sorry you can’t hide who you really are and the camera crew did their job on filming the real deal.
If the parent/child “fight” had happened at an activity that my daughter attends, we would have been suspended. Shame on Alisha for not standing her ground with Anne. Even if she’s not running laps, suspend her from the gym for a few days to make a point to the other children and parents that there are consequences. My daughter watched this episode with me and thanked me for not being like those mothers and said that she plans to thank her coach too for not screaming at her constantly. LOL
