All of these cheerleader shows

Kari · Dooney & Bourke

I am not hooked on any of them yet, but I have come across them and watched them a little. I have only seen one episode of cheerleader nation, and I have mixed feelings about it. I cheered in HS...not something I've ever admitted outloud before!...and part of me thinks back on how fun it was, then part of me thinks back and feels sorry for them and wish I could make them realize that it really is not as important as they think it is. My body will never be the same thanks to how hard i pushed myself in sports (bball, cheer, gymnastics, dance, etc). I wish I would have laid off. I know girls with blown out joints that are like 50 years old...but really only 25.

That girl that quit soccer to go out for the cheerleading squad...I wanted to stop her! Not that she won't have fun, but wow! And I couldn't believe that they took a chance on her.

This will sound really bitchy....but I didn't think those girls were very good at tryouts...anyone else?

No, I didn't think they looked that great at tryouts either-especially for them being a championship winning team. Hell, that one girl still made it as an "alternate" and she couldn't even do a backhandspring.

I caught a previous epsoide of cheerleader nation on sunday, and i figured it might be good so i watch the new one at 10. I don't think it is bad, but I also like the drama. I agree I don't think that the girl should of quit soccer. I also don't think they looked very good at tryouts. I was thinking the same thing of how can they be a championship team when they look like they are falling all over the place.

Oh and that one girl i can't remember her name, it starts with a c. The really prissy one who stayed out 4am and didn't call her mom. Yeah I want to shake her or something, I mean come on have some respect for your mom when you are talking to her.
