Following Krystal’s accident, the staff has to determine how they’re going to make due with out her. This present is so unexpectedly hilarious to me. I imply the best way they described Krystal’s harm was so chaotic; what do you imply it took the ambulance twenty six minutes to get to her? Then when Boon took this chance to speak about his previous harm, he talked about the way it took EMT some time to get to him too. As he’s describing this, it reveals this flashback of him actually laying on the bottom as folks journey over him and soar over him – I do know that is simply slapstick comedy, however it labored effectively right here.

Now that they’re down a cheerleader, Courteney decides that the staff will carry out at “Media Day” which is the place they may have the chance to advertise their program. That is additionally the place she believes she’ll be capable to recruit new cheerleaders to be able to qualify for Daytona. Needs to be easy sufficient since they’re the one aggressive cheer staff slated to carry out, however get this, as a result of her husband needed to spend extra time along with her since she was fired from her old style (the place he nonetheless works), he will get her outdated squad entered to carry out at Media Day. They’re ten occasions higher than Courteney’s new squad and he principally set her up for failure unintentionally.

This one scene had no enterprise making me giggle as onerous because it did; it was the one the place Krystal was being interviewed and he or she was thanking her followers for making #whyyyyyyy pattern – then it cuts to a cheerleading staff deliberately dropping their flyer and breaking their foot the identical manner she did. It then cuts again to Krystal and he or she’s like “I can not endorse this pattern”. Once more, a quite simple scene, however it works.
You already know what I respect about this present? There aren’t (as of now) the stereotypical two squads not liking one another and competing towards one another how they normally do. When Tammy took over after Courteney was fired, seeing her at Media Day wasn’t awkward in any respect. They genuinely missed one another and that was refreshing to see. I assumed there was going to be some type of animosity between them however nope!
