[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The second season really showed what happens when trauma isn't dealt with. Yes, cheer gave them a safe space and a family and filled a void they all had and it seemed that none of them have dealt with those huge issues of their childhood. Once that cheer structure is removed, it seems that a lot of them will have a really hard time moving on and being well adjusted adults.To me, the second season was incredibly sad. [/quote]

I agree, especially when they showed what happened with Ladarius after they all learn about Jerry. Yes he wasn't the most calm and rational person to begin with, but that news and not having Monica (his one trustworthy adult) available to help him work through it just pushed him over the edge. I hope at the end he realized he took out a lot of his justifiable rage about the situation on Monica rather than where it belonged, on Jerry.

I also enjoyed the juxtaposition of the two schools in terms of resources. Navarro takes a plane, is overlooking the ocean, had a stage made. TVCC rode the bus and is staying at a Hampton nearby. Navarro watched the awards in a big conference room on a big tv. TVCC was all crammed in a hotel room. Makes one wonder if the "celebrity" of the program and people has affected them...and whether it will affect TVCC in future tournaments.[/quote]

Of course celebrity effects teams, the same thing happens in every college sport. It also means that a community college in Texas can recruit a girl from Massachusetts. To the extent that there are talented athletes who want to go the juco rather than a 4 year program, the show is a goldmine for recruiting.  [/quote]

I still don’t understand Blum’s decision to go to Navarro. Navarro and TVCC are not the only top cheer programs in the country. Bridgewater University in Massachusetts is a four year school with multiple NCA championships under their belt. Most recently in 2019.

Navarro is only winning the Junior College title. Within that there are subcategories for co-Ed, all girls, and sizes of each team.

In short there are many award winning college programs out there. Even if I was the the best flyer/stunter/tumbler in country I wouldn’t move to such remote, desolate towns.[/quote]

I don't really get this either, but, I'm guessing that her grades/SAT's are not that strong and Navarro was a well-known program before Netflix came along. Maybe they are well known for developing kids who can possibly move on the 4 year colleges (and maybe if they come from a NCA placing team they can actually get a little bit of money toward at a university program).

There is not a lot of discussion about what is going to happen after Navarro. I think Monica knows that for a lot of these kids there may be a lot of struggle after 2 years at Navarro (since they are likely not strong academically). She seemed completely on board and flexible with letting these kids do as many appearances/commercials/etc., when she knows it is a distraction. I think she knows they need to take advantage of making $ while they can and was looking out for them.

I also was impressed with how Monica handled the LaDarius situation. There is not enough therapy in the world for him. My heart literally broke for him (dealing with Jerry and not having Monica there). He has BIG FEELINGS and needs a lot of support. Monica and LaDarius ended on a note of forgiveness and much of that was her being a bigger person (and I genuinely think she cares for him).[/quote]
