One thing I appreciate was the randomness of Cierra, West, and Max testing Noah's "abilities." At first it came off as filler, but to see the payoff in the end was honestly amazing. The blindfolded dance may not have been crazy impressive, but that plot line is like one of my favorites of the whole season. I just like Noah as a character in all honesty.
But can we talk about Miss Kate and Amanda's relationship in S3 like Miss Kate, what the.... I get the tension from S2 but, chill, Amanda has moved on and deserved better, but S4 didn't do her justice, the writers must hate Amanda or something. #AmandaDeservedBetter Thanks for likes guys I have never gotten this many before!
Brendam Productions You are so right! Amanda was overlooked in every season! They didn’t use her! They wouldn’t even win Nationals or go to Internationals if it wasn’t for her! Great Spot!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Season 3 is superior and sorry but nothing can change my mind. 😂 Well actually 1-3 will always be superior but season 3 always is the one i rewatch and can still enjoy all of the time
I agree that 1and 2 are amazing! Like I really like them but season 3 it think is forgettable. I mean I can't even remember one thing that happened in that season. Tbh when I think of season 3 it just blurs together with season 4 and just completely forget. Sos but this is my opinion.
My opinion: 1 (best). Season 1. It seemed very real and Daniel’s injury was very serious compared to Richelle’s and Noah’s injuries. They were in different places yet it seemed to have linked together quite nicely. They had their own roles. It seemed quite natural and the variety of personalities. 2. Season 3. The dances were amazing since Internationals were amazing and peaked. This time they had alternates (they had alternates before but they left before Nationals) There futures were planned out and it seemed as a family, such as Season 1. It was less unrealistic because MARGIE “disappears” for a Reality DANCE TV show. 3. Season 2. It really shows everyone’s storyline and it connects well on from the previous season. I liked how we also saw B-Troupe and J-Troupe and also how they did ‘The Challenge’. I especially liked it how they had a whole episode of J-Troupe Auditions. Emily’s injury was, like Daniel’s, very cared for and how she couldn’t dance again. It was slightly unrealistic because when James tries to get Michelle back, he throws a flash mob with many dancers. How could he get many dancers in under a few hours. I did not like Eldon wasn’t dorky. 4. Season 6. They didn’t do auditions, which I felt was very brave, since they did do auditions in the past. I liked Michelle and Emily’s relationship, Piper’s Anxiety, Noah’s Future, Amy going to AcroNation. They didn’t go to different places, so that’s a con. Heather’s leaving was just there, like it had no explanation. Richelle could’ve just rested for a bit more time because of her Snapping Hip Syndrome. Kenzie and Finn could’ve had a storyline with Richelle as well. It was full of emotion. 5. Season 5. I didn’t like how some of the dancers were quite immature, like Jacquie. Zara could’ve had a better explanation on how she juggled Math(s). The new storylines were rushed. It’s great how they all merged together but I would like a bit more fun instead of igniting the drama to its peak. Richelle had a storyline, which is INCREDIBLE. 6. Season 7 (so far). It’s great overall, I liked the dances (so far) but the storylines are kind of cringey like Summer didn’t have the courage to tell Henry he couldn’t pick up the choreography and she turned the lights off to the whole season. I did like Kingston and Lily ship. Amy just appeared in the first episode and it didn’t lead on well from her off season episode. She could’ve auditioned back like the Lily situation. 7 (worst). Season 4. The dances could’ve been better executed but it was unrealistic because James kept going back and forth (Canada to London, London to Canada, Canada to Switzerland, Switzerland to London). It relied on a lot of relationships and the 0% Club didn’t make an impact on me. I think Miss Kate didn’t think how great it would be to make Riley to make Studio Head because she’s never had any experience. And Alfie was a prince? WHAT??
Alfie had a great potential to be a good character, like one of the best but they ruined him with the prince and jiley storyline. We had already seen it with Beth so it was kinda repetitive
For me BEST:season 3 1:season 1 2:season 6 3:season 2 4:season 7 5:season 5 WORST:season 4 Season 3 never gets old and has a great storyline Season 4 on the other hand was just weird and confusing I don’t like how there was random plots that had no relevance like Alfie being a prince.
I love s1 because everyone just cared about each other and kept a look out for each other. What was so cute was when they said tns was a home and family. Everyone always felt safe at tns. And I loved that everyone was just caring and had different personalities. And the best thing about s1 is that it's fun and just the best I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT
Yeah.. It's very iconic, unique and Entertaining. Party i wish that same team made to Internationals together. With giving them more character development.
Yes everyone was just trying to be replaced when you can’t replace say west- he’s legendary! Just give everyone there own storyline, like in s5 I hate the way heather is like chloe, GIVE HER HER OWN STORYLINE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! But I really agree with you x
I totally agree that season 1 was the best because I think that in the later seasons, the storylines were a lot more unrealistic and the plot and drama to season 1 was the perfect length. Therefore I think that season 4 was the worst because they dragged out the James, Riley and Alfie storyline out for way to long and the other characters barely had a storyline.
Riley becoming studio head was practically the start of all the problems in Season 4. I didn't mind the Regionals loss, but when it all came down to a really silly and unnecessary decision, it just seemed ridiculous. Also when Kate left in Season 4, she didn't even say goodbye and left Riley to tell everyone. I don't think she even called to try and see how Riley was doing and only returned after the loss occurred. When she returned in Season 5, she just oversaw what Emily and Michelle were doing. She barely did anything for the studio after resigning as studio head. Here is what she did (or didn't do): 1. After returning, she created Studio 1 and made Emily studio head and later Michelle for TNS East and West. 2. She didn't seem concerned that TNS West had no support and was not considered much of a legitimate troupe. 3. She decided to stop the studio from going to Regionals until the merge between East and West. 4. She fired Emily and Michelle, although Michelle had no idea about Richelle being injured and hired Miss Angela. She didn't even see how Miss Angela actually treated the A-Troupers. 5. She rehired Emily and Michelle and gave them an ultimatum about Regionals. 6. Realising she was not able to maintain the studio anymore she sells it to Nick, effectively renouncing her ties with the studio indefinitely. Like if you agree!
She was a person in season 1 when the e-girls were helping baby ballet and I’m pretty sure she was in season 2. I really don’t know about season 3 though 😂
The problem I have with Season 5 is that there were 2 unnamed characters on tns west. Briana was just named but she was never called it, Jordan, Tyler and Danielle had one unique scene with the merge and not wanting to be on it and LaTroy left relatively quickly. Briana and the unnamed's needed some plot, Jordan, Tyler and Danielle needed some more scenes. The only season that didn't need to be watched had some of the more forgettable characters. I wish they could have revealed the votes for Dance Captain because that would have been interesting. Lola and Ozzy probably voted for Richelle, Amy and probably Henry voted Piper and Josh and Jacquie voted for Noah (just guessing here). Noah probably didn't win by too many votes and Piper probably came second. Even Elliot had more plot than LaTroy.
I agree with the unnamed characters but i disagree with the voting part. Henry was bestfriends with Noah in Season 5 and even though he said to Piper that he had her vote, he legally didnt mean it. And when Emily announced that Noah is the dance captain henry was even shocked and was cheering him on for geting the position. And Amy didnt VOTE at all because in the epsiode she had an audition for the Geminis. and when she returned to the studio, she says "Why is noah taking in charge" and piper said "its because he is the dance captain " and Amy was like " ohhhh" The episode is SEASON 5 EPISODE 16
@@tresormuliro8429 sorry, I did it off of thought and after I just rewatched the episode I think I have a clear idea of who voted for who. Amy: didn't vote as she was at Gemini. Heather: Whilst she was the only one that had no scenes about the vote, it could be presumed either Noah or Piper. Henry: Whilst he was Piper's vote campaign manager and pointed at Piper, he high-fived Noah so it can be presumed he voted Noah. Jacquie: She may as well have revealed her vote with her Talking Heads. She voted Noah. Josh: While he said he would vote Piper, he also high-fived Noah. He voted Noah. Kingston: He was part of the 5 freestyling. He voted Noah. Lola: Whilst she was Richelle's campaign manager and looked shocked when she didn't get it, she made a reason for Noah. She voted either Noah or Richelle. Noah: Probably Piper, as when Henry pointed at Piper, it looked like Noah nodded. He probably voted Piper. Ozzy: He has a crush on Richelle. Clearly he voted Richelle. He didn't talk with Noah much especially before this happened. Piper: She might have voted for herself. Richelle: She clearly voted herself. Zara: Part of the freestyling 5, so clearly she voted for Noah. Presuming that Piper received votes from herself, Noah and Heather, Richelle received votes from herself, Ozzy and maybe Lola and Noah received votes from Josh, Kingston, Henry, Zara and Jacquie would mean that Noah won 5-3-3. This is all speculation but this seems relatively accurate. If you feel differently about aby of the votes, please don't hesitate to reply.
@@Jonathan_Burton I agree with your second comment, when Richelle and Piper started making campaign promises (just like those politicians at election time), Noah scolded them both, saying that they were separating the group, that the right thing was to unite the gang and everyone agreed with Noah and that's where he won the vote without knowing it. Now I'm just wondering who Josh voted for, because he was consoling Piper and regretting the fact that she didn't win, I think he must have voted for her, even though Noah and Piper's tie would go, but the rest you quoted ai (Henry, Jacquie, Kingston, Zara) must have voted for Noah, so either Heather voted for Noah or maybe Josh himself, but then felt bad for Piper
I would like to state my opinions in this very comment so that I don't have 1000000000 comments, imao: 1) I think Max's storyline is that he is quiet and everybody thinks he is missing elite, but actually he's just independent and private, and eventually he blossoms into being friends with some of the boys. 2) I kinda like that season 2 ended on a bad note because then everybody wanted season 3, and everybody watched it to find out about what happened. 3) I've never really liked Eldon I don't like his character. He acts really immature and I think that he should have shown some growth, which I didn't see in his character. 4) I feel like Kenzie is just being used, like her storylines are just being friends with someone, or sharing a storyline with somebody else, and she isn't going to get the opportunities she deserves because of it 5) Season 5 is really boring, I didn't like it because they could have done much more with it than they did (also it is half the episodes of season 4) 6) Thank you for reading my rant XOXO, no hate, plz like and feel free to share your own opinions with me (I will try to respond)
When Michelle saw another one of herself that was meant as a metaphor that her old self is gone and now new Michelle is moving on to bigger and better things!
Season 2 was by far my favorite. It was the most far drama has gone in TNS ever i think but i absolutely love all the dances, even a couple of elite ones. there was showstoppa, jiley's duet, rewind and it was just amazing. the drama really hooked me and the plot was so good.
I'm avoiding a long comment this time round - I've been dwelling on the loss of my last one all week. So all I'm going to say is that I agree with pretty much all your opinions, but my personal order would be S2 at the top, then S6, S3, S1, S7, S5 and S4 at the bottom. This doesn't seem to be a popular opinion, but I loved the character development in S2, I agree wholeheartedly about the continuity and the new characters, and the Nationals episodes are far and away my favourite of the competition episodes (god I hope they make it back, it's looking like they're going to ditch Nationals in S7 and that's the one thing I didn't want them to do) - and S7 and S5 are kind of a tie for me. I liked them both far more often than I disliked them, I’ve loved multiple episodes in both, and I'm hoping S7 will pick up more in the second half - although I've already said that about it once before the main storylines began... We'll see. At the end of the day I love the show, so any available episodes are a good thing - even if they were released during S4 😂
the character was the best dancer, as far as the actress was concerned, she was the one who danced the least. And like Richelle, the actress Briar was the best dancer compared to the other actresses in the cast, while the character Richelle was not the best, as she lost in competitions to other dancers.
I honestly feel like season 4 was the weakest season Riley was not made for being studio head She was playing with james feeling It was just to much But I really loved Michelle's growth as a character it was beautiful And riley for talking Amanda off the dance that scene really had me F up
Predictions: Season 3 top Season 5 bottom Season 2 second maybe? Season 1 third Season 6 fourth Season 4 fifth And Season 7 can't say yet Oh yeah true Season 1 was probably the best I agree now 😅 It had the not properly professional feel like with how the cameras were and that made it feel better
Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3 were all great seasons. Season 4 had such a good start in the first 4 or something episodes, then it just dropped and became the worst season of all time, it was terrible, the plots were rushed, Alfie probably suffered the worst character derailment in the entirety of the show, even the quality changed. Season 5 was probably the most neutral season out of the lot, the puns were good though. It took me until season 6 to restore my original love for TNS, then a season even worse than season 4, if that was possible, came along. That was season 7. I freaking depise this season for multiple reasons. The toxicity, the constant cutting scenes, the rushed plots, the toxic relationships, Amy can never be single god damn once, what the heck did they do with Pinn too? Yeah. That's it in my opinion. I just hope season 8 isn't as bad, if we get one.
My favourite seasons are 1 and 3. S1 was more of a "mockumentary" type style which I think worked well as the show didn't take itself too seriously, and S3 had some of my favourite dances of the show in the internationals. I think the storylines went a bit out of control eventually, and also have noticed that storylines from earlier seasons have started repeating themselves.
In my option the worst bit about season 2 was that when a troupe found out that Amanda was a double agent and was still at Elite hunter and Emily didn’t get back together and that rlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyy annoyed me. And I hated that dance battle so much but if the dance battle didn’t happen then idk if Thalia and Eldon would get together. If Eldon and Michelle did break up I wish they had a good reason too and that they would just stay friends. Love ur videos! Ur so good at tns decisions and stoooof. U should be in charge of the plot lines 100% (not that I don’t hate the original story lines) I just like ur ideas as well!
@@sofhris4982 wait what??? how am i only just finding out she was 13 in season 1? I used to watch it all the time as a kid and i'm rewatching it right now and I genuinely thought Vic was 16 in season 1. I thought the youngest actor on A troupe would've been Riley's actress and thought she was like 14-15.
I completely agree with the rank also, Michelle said that she didn’t want to answer to Emily because they were both on a troupe in season one but Riley also ran the studio and also was on a troupe in season one so what is the difference, so I don’t understand why she could answer to Riley but not Emily.
Good point. But in a word: attitude. She had some big disagreements with Riley in s4 but Riley didn't "fling attitude" and was approachable. Emily was a kingdom builder that didn't care if a few slaves got crushed in the construction. Riley was easier to dominate; Michelle wasn't all sweetness and light !
Legend has it if you say the youtubers name 3 times they give you a heart Mockingariana3 Mockingariana3 Mockingariana3 Did it work? Also please do solos next!
I feel like Amanda's character in season 4 came full circle, because in season 2 she said elite bever showed her any lover. Plus she has felt betrayed by Miss Kate, Giselle and Thalia, so she could finally be herself around Noah because she knew he loved her, and she did have some of her wittyness in season 4.
I think Margie was real because everyone could see her and she helped Chloe when she didn’t know what to do. I think The scene where she disappears Is in Chloe’s imagination , I think Chloe was imagining her being there because Margie usually had been there when Chloe was upset or confused.
i love season 1 but i think that literally the ONLY flaw is not enough story line for tiffany, shes the only character that i think was under- represented
She doesn't have any sustained drama story line, but up until just after the Seeds episode, she actually plays some important roles. And hers is _the_ devastating move that ultimately sinks Emily's ship.
@@grimtraveller7923 I think that the problem is that Tiffany never really had a plot that went everywhere. The thing with Emily was more to do with Emily than her, and the only ‘big’ plot focusing on Tiffany I can remember was when she turned J-Troupe against Daniel, which was just for that episode. I think they could have expanded on Tiffany trying to get along with the other members after being with the E-Girls for so long.
I like that season 2 showed us a lot of J-troupe. We get to meet the future of the next step early on and watch them grow to where they reach in future seasons and get a sense of there goals
YESSSSSS! This was exactly my order! I really liked season 1 and I think everyone knows that season 4 was just so rubbish and boring. One thing though I don't know about everyone else but I didn't like that there were 40 episodes in season 4 because it just felt SO long and it lasted for AGES, and then when it came to season 5 there were just half the amount and I felt like 20 was just too short. The thing is, I don't know how season 7 is going to turn out to be, but I just hope they don't change the whole aspect of the show because of all this dance mania hype and going on TV, like that just does not feel like TNS, and I think everyone REALLY wants A-Troupe to go to Nationals this season, but they really are just focusing on Dance-Mania. However, I've seen the plot line for the next episode (11), and the episode is called 'There can only be one' and it says that A-troupe have to decide which way they want to go. So I think by next week, we should finally know if they're going to compete at Nationals or go on Dance-Mania. Just one suggestion, could you do a home life video for the characters, so what you think the characters are like in their general home lives. Loved this vid! xxx
Agree, there was no need for Season 4 to be 40 episodes while trying to tell te same plot as Season 1. I can think of at least 3 episodes whose plots were just ridiculous.
I’m not early but when I saw this I clicked fast lol that doesn’t rhyme but idc I love you alisha your my fav youtuber i think the best season was season 3 ❤️❤️
I completely agree with you about bringing back the original characters to keep fans interested in the new troupe. Characters like Henry have literally been on the troupe longer than Giselle or Eldon etc, yet they are so forgettable... tbh I think TNS should have called it quits after Season 3, cause it’s unlikely they’d win Internationals again with a troupe of completely different dancers.
I agree with all your opinions except for the season 4. I thought season 4 was a brilliant season even though it was mostly about Riley, James and Alfie. Other than that, the dances were amazing and the team was consisted with young talented dancers. The storylines were amazing such as James's sister (Piper ) joining a A-troupe, Skylar joining A-troupe, Sloane and Latroy not able to do contemporary etc. The season even had an Anti Bullying Episode which was really thoughtful because it could help you how to deal with bullying in many different ways. Most of the viewers on The next step are probably still in school and when they saw the Anti Bullying Episode it gave them an idea to deal with bullying or to even stand up to one. VIDEO'S SUGGESTIONS: WHICH A-TROUPE WAS THE STRONGEST WHO HAD THE BEST CLOTHES ON THE NEXT STEP AND DID IT SUIT THEM? WHICH WAS THE BEST RIVAL TEAM THAT COMPETED AGAINST THE NEXT STEP (elite, ladies of destruction, sweden, geminis, encore & acronation) WHO WOULD MAKE A GOOD DANCE CAPTION FOR EACH SEASON?
About the Margie thing: I think that Margie is real because why else would people talk to her but I think that it was only the scene that she turned into glitter that she was part of chloe's imagination and chloe was just dancing by herself if that makes sense. A bit like when Michelle was "dancing with herself" the other person wasnt really there for that scene.
Personally, I love the Bangers and Mashup competition. I do think it was useless but I found it so entertaining and it was the only thing keeping S4 entertaining.
Yeah, I understand and respect your opinion. It''s just that the first two episodes of Season 4 had really emotional exits for West and Eldon and keeping them in Season that much made that pointless.
@@joeyjerry1586 OK. But the way their exits were written, it felt like they were leaving the show. I think that sort o exit should be given when the character leaves the show.
Here goes my ranking, and some reasons for them. 1. Season 3. This season was just so fun to me. I mentioned it in another comment, but the randomness of the Noah storyline to begin with was kind of weird. Like, who cares that Noah has heightened spatial awareness.....and then the payoff for this was spectacular. I loved how even though he wasn't a main character, he got a really good storyline. The whole thing with James and Riley was decent as well. Just seeing them grow as characters was pretty cool. I think Michelle was great this season too. Like, yeah, she was whiney, but it's kind of understandable. I think that a good number of the dance battles were strategic in who the writers chose. Giselle and Daniel. Tess and Amanda. Riley and James. Noah and Abi. Skylar and Cierra. Eldon and Hunter. These were all great selections in my opinion. Only conine have was the lack of character development from Max. 2. Season 1. It's what started the show off. I like how every episode really felt relevant to the story. The only episode that maybe felt not as relevant was when they have the little celebration that night a few days before Regionals, but I still felt it served its purpose in showing how far they came as a team. I like the great amount of growth seen in Emily this season. I also like the connection Michelle and Riley shared. It was cool seeing Riley getting caught between the new girl and her sister. Daniel is such a complexcharacter. It's hard for me to make opinions on him. I never really liked him that much, but I think that's just because brenan clost's acting was on point. Some cons I have are that tiffanie seemed kind of irrelevant outside of E Girls. Like she never had a storyline. I also felt like the whole Emily-Michelle-Eldon triangle was dragged on for way too long and it just kept going in Season 2, but we will get there in a moment. 3. Season 6. This season was different than 4 and 5 for me. Seasons 4 and 5 really took a huge shift from what the show was about in my opinion. Season 6 kind of reinstilled some purpose into the show. I really liked Noah's storylines this season. I actually enjoyed seeing him as dance captain and seeing how that affected his relationship with Jacque at times. I liked the introduction of Jacque's sister. I think Davis was a great addition and I liked her friendship with Kenzie and how it was a focal point in the Kenzie and Jacque storyline. I also liked seeing the growth in Ozzy. I liked him a lot in season 5 and this season just made me like his character more. Also, his friendship with Richelle is great and I hope they become a little bit more. Piper's storyline was good and I love how they developed her relationship with finn over time instead of immediately making her like him. Even though they never actually got together, I gotta say that the dynamic between Henry and amy was fantatsic. I like their parking lot dance to rome and I wish this could've become something more. Acronation was also a nice addition, but I wish they were still around. Some cons I have. Lily was annoying, but a little too annoying. I wish Kenzie got more storyline. I also wish Davis' story could've gotten closure. I wish Noah wouldn't have left, but I can understand. I just really like his character (if you havent guessed yet, he's my favorite character. ) 4. Season 7 (so far). I like what's been happening. I do wish their was more focus on Piper, Finn and Amy outside of the triangle. What I like about this triangle is how they are all friends as opposed to the tension that was felt between emily michelle and eldon back in season 1. Kingston and Lily......just yes. I also we see more of izzy. Ozzy and Heath....I want to see more scenes with them potentially maybe even becoming like good bros, but their dynamic is great nonetheless. I think the show is taking a risk with Cleo and jude, and whether I like the story or not, their risk taking is impressive and I like the inclusion of Jude's dyslexia as a plot point. Can I say, I was first upset with summer being dance captain, but I like the payoff so far. the tension between her and richelle and the rest of the time at this point because of her audition has been great. Also her and henry breaking up...did not see that coming, but it definitely has me wondering what will happen next. Some cons......I cant really think of any except Kingston and lily's indecisiveness. this needs to be better addressed in a conversation between the two of them. Season 7 would be higher, but it's not done so I cant completely judge it. 5. Season 2. let's get controversial lol. You're probably surprised tos ee how low this season is, but I will explain in a moment. so first, my pros. I like the focus on the J troopers but I feel like they should've capitalized on this even more by eventually have all of those j troopers move up to a troop in maybe season 4, but that's another discussion for a later time. okay, so I liked the introduction of Hunter and what he brought to the table. I liked Amanda's storyline and her helping out in the end of the season. emily and hunters relationship washield of the best tbh. I also liked the risk of removing stephanie and tifdanie from a troop. that was bold. My cons...notice how I didnt have a lot to say about this season. I love hunter, but after just coming off of another love triangle, the live square felt redundant and in the end it broke up Michelle and eldon for no reason the dance battle cool and all, but the payoff wasnt that great. I also got bothered by how long they dragged out Riley and James breakup. Having him kiss Beth was great for shock value, but he should've been honest, let thim go through a.bump, and move forward. Instead we had the whole list thing which at times was satisfying but not enough to keep interested.this is where daniel started to bother me. I really began to just have no respect for his character. Just no. Also, why didnt emily get back together with Hunter after everything with amanda was revealed. Seemed kind of dumb to me. and although I liked the dynamic between Emily and west, it just disappeared and just no. 6. Season 5. this season was all over the place. at timdish items know what it wanted to be. The focus kept shifting. it felt like a really unnecessary way to show the conflict between emily and michelle. I dont like how after this season we didnt get to see josh, Zara, or lola again. (Okay, Zara's character was dry but still I would've had no problem seeing more). The only good part in my opinion was ozzy. Like that's it really. the conflict between noah and Henry was okay but that's all. I just didnt care much for the season. so that was a combo of pros and cons I guess. also thanks for giving richelle an actual friendonly to take her away. 7. Season 4. I dont have much to say here that the video didnt cover. I will day I personally liked Amanda and noah although it did more often than not feel awkward and a tad rushed. The season was just weird aand just dragged on and on and on and on and.......yeah you get the point. And alfie....just no.i wish we could've seen him grow in season 5, but nope. Anyways, I commend you for making it through this lengthy comment. Love this video btw lol.
I think I remember in the Off-Season, when Emily said how Amy should've been taken out of the dance, because "everyone knows, you don't mix your personal life with your dance life" or something like that because LaTroy had just broken up with her. I don't think it was very realistic how Amy was - and I quote - "channelling all of her hate and anger into the dance" because that jeopardised the team's chances at winning; so, I think Amy should've been swapped with Michelle and Cassie should've stayed still, because she was still a strong dancer and was generally quite a humble member of the team. The Final Team for Regionals FInals (Season 4) should've been: Alfie Henry LaTroy Noah Cassie Michelle Skylar Amanda Piper Richelle
I feel like something that would be interesting for tns is if a plot initiated in one season but finished in another, if you know what I mean. Because I feel like some plots had this potential, and it would have built more suspense for the viewers if a plot was unanswered, and would give us something to watch in the next season
the thing that annoyed me in the finale is that Amanda got replaced for Michelle after she passed out on stage, Cassie was chosen for the alternate spot and the group dance wasn't the best either
Love this video and your opinion i have recommended your videos to my friends i feel you have a very balanced opinion on the next step i do agree season 1 was the best beacause it felt like a reality style TV show and the felt like teenagers and you could realte to them🥰👍🏻💫
yay our next step queen has finally done it Edit: btw can u do more dancing videos for example maybe you could do amandas solo in season 3 when they got merged that would be nice or you could do her nationals solo ,just a suggestion tho
I'm back now that I finally managed to watch season 7, so here are my opinions: 1. Season 3 - Amazing dancing, Won internationals, good relationships, little to no drama (and if there was it was realistic and not all romantic based), all dances performed were epic, good storylines, Amanda did not get proper chance though, and Max didn't really interact with everyone, and Lucien being an internationals judge is kinda unrealistic. 2. Season 6 - Everyone was a family, character development in all characters, all the dances were memorable and superb, emotional to watch, cool, unique storylines (prom, escape room), characters had fun, some immature moments however, and the whole henry, ty, amy, summer love quadrangle was kinda stupid. 3. Season 2 - So many iconic dances, all of the other troupes were featured well, great relationships and friendships, all the dancers improved vastly since season 1, but some storylines were kind of unrealistic aka the flash mob or the problem with michelle when shopping. i also think the season was dragged out for too long. 4. Season 1 - Good storylines, it was actually realistic (school exists, they have life outside of dance), scenes outside of the studio, some romance but not too much, dancing wasn't as great as other seasons, and there weren't many other dances apart from groups (few solos, duets and i'm pretty sure there weren't any trios). 5. Season 5 - Great dancing, richelle finally got a freaking proper friendship, wasn't too romance oriented, merging of troupes created a family, starting her own troupe was a bit petty of michelle, idk why emily would not let hip hop dancers audition, the whole storyline was too based around the opposing troupes 6. Season 4 - They actually had really good dances, good relationships mostly, but it was kind of seperated (aka zero percent club, previous internationals dances, they kept relying on the previous troupe to keep the story going, all the ralfie and jiley drama was honestly too much, and who the heck can just fly out to london and leave the team at 18 while trying to run their own dance studio. 7. Season 7 - Glad richelle finally got some recognition, but they chose a really bad way to display that, pinn happened, but through a terrible storyline, characters just seemed really immature (slamming the door in richelle's face, the sulking in the audience), kenzie was basically completely ignored, character development from last season completely was thrown out the window, too romance oriented, and a troupe had to choreograph for themselves like what happened to ms angela?
Season 7 is by far my least favourite. They recycled old character plots from early seasons, Summer is unlikable and annoying, most characters have no screentime nor plot, nick has way too much screentime, I wish a-troupe were going to nationals not dance mania, summer expects to constantly be given everything and I hate it when they have characters leave and don’t come up with an explanation eg when Richelle wasn’t there or Where Emily has gone. I know the actors and and actresses get busy but come up with an explanation, don’t just disregard their whole existence.
I agree with you seasons 7 is the worst one, they did too muc with dance mania and they let b troupe got to nationals and when a troupe lots dance mania they wanted to go to nationals. Like no that’s not how it works. You can’t just leave and expect everything to be handed to you
I just realised that every other seas9n (1,3,5,7) there is like a fight between who is going to reionals/nationals/internationals. In s1 it is either "Emily's troup" or "Michelle's troup" going to regionals. In s3 it is either Lucien and Elite or Miss Kate and tns. In s5 it was tns east or tns west and in s7 it was B troup or A troup. Random but just wanted to point it out.
I feel like if the writers were unsure about keeping the interest of the audience from the old seasons to the new seasons, instead of trying to keep the old a-troupers around and involved, they should have kept some of the old characters that were showcased in the episodes previously like gabi and becca. (I found it really disappointing having Gabi and becca very briefly shown if the auditions of season 4 and not acknowledged even briefly), jake (from b-troup, maybe some of the elite members that joined b troup. I know that directors and producers like to bring new cast and characters in some cases for shows to progress but I feel like it wasn’t executed in season 4 as it was in season 2 or 3 as mentioned. I think audiences would be interested in seeing original tns characters grow further, instead of a brand new lot and desperately trying to keep them interesting. But idk. (Me personally) sorry for my rant 💙💙
the reason Jake and some of the B team and also Nick (Elite dancer) didn't get in, is because the actors were already old (they were the same age if not older, from the original Troupe), they were just there, only people competing. Now Gabi, Becca and Tyle deserved to join the A-Troupe because they were the same age as Noah and Richelle. Tyle (who has been in since season 3) joined the A-Troupe in season 5, just to make an appearance poor thing, if he had joined as the main character in Josh's place, he and Piper could have become a couple and they wouldn't have had to put Finn, who only joined to replace Josh
I feel like they gradually phased the characters like west or Eldon out so fans didn't get angry cos we all love the originals. Like they have brung characters back for even little cameos just to keep the fans happy
The reason why Amanda was an alternate because the actor Logan had an injury, because she said something about it on an interview, but I don't get it because Amanda did her solo falling apart and the battle between elite.
I acc totally agree with ure list cause season 4 was literally based on three way relationships and romance whereas season 1 was realistic and enjoyable Like if u have been here from season 1
For me s1 is the gold standard, the Grand Poobaah. Everything came together in a unique synergy; the characters, the songs, the story lines, the tension, the dances, the realistic innocence of the acting and "scripts", the locations, the opponents, the lack of the silliness that became very much part of future seasons. Sometimes, these things just work and they reach deeply in ways that weren't particularly intended at the outset. Not all TV shows start strong but s1 is without a doubt, the measuring stick when it comes to "The Next Step." Many show's first seasons don't have to be. I think it was a fluke and I also think it took the show's creators by surprise which is possibly why the next couple of seasons seemed to me to be such a struggle. Getting to the top is the easier part. Staying there and getting further is another matter altogether. Naturally, it's not without its flaws ~ a couple of the latter episodes seriously flag {the stay late get together and the costume episode are particular guilty parties here} and there's some character inconsistency in Michelle that borders on the incredulous. Yet even those flagging episodes have some heavyweight scenes that are among the top echelon of TNS scenes. For me, there isn't a single episode in s1 that is unwatchable even if there are parts that I wouldn't cry for if I never saw them again. None of its flaws are deal breakers for me. Unlike later on, the comedy isn't forced. It feels natural and actually may not even be intentional comedy at all. What s1 has in spades and droves is balance. In a way, it had to. After all, it was moving along the road less travelled. It became the template and the challenge was always going to be to both top it and develop/progress. I am a big fan of the show still but in my book, it's certainly never topped the first season. On the other hand, it has, for the most part, continued to develop and progress despite some sizeable hiccups along the way. TNS has moved further and further away from its original premise as a reality TV styled show and whether that has been a good thing or a bad thing is open to debate. In s1 the aping of reality TV is at least convincing ~ I originally didn't have any interest in the show because I thought it _was_ a reality TV show and most reality TV bores me to the extent I avoid it like a wild eyed pit bull. It is also the season that integrates dance and drama better than any other and I say that as someone that isn't particularly a fan of dance. TNS ultimately moved in the direction of separation, you had the drama bits, you had the dance bits. But in s1, pretty much every dance that appears, right from the first episode, is more than just a dance ~ it's a vital part of the story. When I watch just about any other dance from any other season, I can appreciate it for what it is and it exists independently, stands on its own. The s1 dances cannot do that for me. They are _so_ integral to what is going on in the story at that moment and beyond, that isolating them as a UA-cam or Hulu video simply has me recalling their context and wanting to watch s1 all over again ! They are quite literally scenes from the show. The songs that were created for that first season just hit me left, right and centre, under, over sideways and down. There are a few films with songs that have done that to me in my life but the last was so long ago, I never thought such a thing would happen to me again. But the quality of the songs is insane. "Turn me around," "Feel the fire," "Made it go," "Can't get you outta my head," "We go," "Addicted 2U," "We do it big," "Inside out" and "More than that" are such a blast and a bit like the dances, encapsulate the scenes they appear in. I can't hear "We go" without seeing Riley slip her hand into James' on the bus, or "We do it big" without seeing Seeds wiggling about and TNS trying to match them or "Inside out" without seeing the intensity of Michelle and Eldon's duet rehearsals and Michelle flying through the air and Eldon catching her or "Addicted 2U" without being swept up in the demise of Emily's regime or "Made it go" without seeing Daniel practice his moves or "Can't get you out of my head" without seeing Eldon vault over Emily on their 3½ shake date....Unlike the dances however, the songs do stand alone as independent entities and are wicked songs, brilliantly written and executed, even though they always call to mind the scenes they were in. Many of them also gave rise to great alternative versions that get used as incidental music in different scenes down the years. S1 also fully realized every A troupe character {their characters were pretty well pegged out by the time they arrived at regionals} and each one got significant screen time. I don't think this happened again until s4. All in all, it's my favourite season and in my mind, is going to take some beating, if it ever does actually get beaten.
My opinion : First Place: Season 3 Second Place : Season 2 Third Place: Season 1 Fourth Place: Season 6 Fifth Place : Season 7 Sixth Place: Season 5 AN ABOMINATION OF A SEASON: SEASON 4
I feel like season 4s only substance was the Ralfie/jiley drama. If you take that away nothing really stands out about the season, the relationships were poor (Noah and Amanda felt very weird to me because if you think back to season 2 and how they both looked. I'm just going to leave you with that) Honestly I think too many key characters were taken out from season 3, it should have been more staggered so we still felt a connection and an ongoing family feel to the team despite having some new members we could still have familiar faces and once the other characters gradually left we still could feel a strong connection with the team as we would have gotten to know them the previous season. On the other hand one thing I did like was the fact TNS lost regionals because I feel like that is very realistic considering Riley paid absolutely no attention to the team and it would be ridiculous for them to win every competition. Losing is a big part of dance and it can't be helped. Also wtf were the writers thinking making Alfie a prince. Surely someone must have recognised him. Think about the British royal family; it doesn't matter if you are a brit or not everyone still knows what they look like. If prince Charles was suddenly a teacher at your school its hardly as if he would go unnoticed.
Losing wasn't the problem with Season 4, but most of everything else was pure cringe. It would have been better for them to have had a good season and lost.
the Noah and Amanda thing wouldn't have even been bad if the ages of the characters weren't so inconsistent. Amanda is supposed to be the same age as the S1 A-troupers (she dated James too) while Noah was labelled to be much younger. His physical appearance changing isn't a problem since in real life the actors are only one month apart in their age. It's just weird because they labelled Noah as being a lot younger than Amanda, but then for some reason in S4, he's the same age as her. Which would make him the same age or OLDER than Riley. And since he only turned 18 in I think Season 6, how did Riley become studio head at 17 years old in S4? None of it adds up.
Season 2 I don't think I have ever looked forward to a season of a telly show more than I did TNS season 2. As a show, s1 had just taken our household by storm from when we discovered it in the summer of 2014 on holiday in Holland. I'd even bought the DVD boxed set and watched the final episodes before they aired on the BBC and actually did a marathon watching every episode of s1 in a single viewing. Did so much reading up and couldn't wait for it. And wow, it started with a fizz and a bang and a half and then some ! The Next Step plane was ascending higher and higher with potentially great writing and ideas which could have overhauled s1, Zoltan and his manservant notwithstanding. New or previously very minor characters {Beth, Hunter, Thalia, Phoebe, Noah, Richelle, some of the J-troupers} were phased in, old faves {like Chris, Tiffany and Stephanie} were phased out and the idea to freshen up the cast though disappointing from a fan fave point of view, was a good and quite gutsy one.....if it worked. There really are some great ideas and brilliant execution of scenes in parts of the season...............but they are comparatively few and far between after the scenes in which Daniel leaves. I don't know what happened but the rest of the season after around episode 11 was like watching a plane struggling to maintain altitude then nosediving into a crash land situation. The great parts were suffocated and soaked up by the lame parts. And like an album that has 3 masterpieces on it but 7 clunkers, unfortunately, the clunkers are what the album will be remembered for. Either that or the album will be only thought of as an artifact with 3 great songs and listeners in denial. There are so many mis-steps in season 2, where does one begin ? James' driving instructor ? The beginning of Riley's demise ? The "Emily outs the double agent" story line ? The virtual anonymity of Thalia ? The overwhelming underuse of Phoebe ? The speed with which Michelle leaves the studio ? The West/Giselle axis that just does not work ? The James tests ? The Hunter cake ? The flash mob ? West pretending to be a big star at Nationals ? Gluuuurrrrp ! And talk about black holes, where was the conclusion of any of the J troupe mentoring ? Or Emily explaining to Hunter why she dumped him in the aftermath of Amanda leaving ? Come to think of it, why didn't she rekindle their "ossom" flame ? It speaks volumes that Beth is probably the season's most consistent character. But I found it a very disappointing season and a big surprise was how poorly integrated the dancing overall was until Nationals. S2 does end strongly, with intrigue and mystery, but the strength of the ending couldn't cover up much of what had previously been shown. But there was worse to come.
Her is my opinion didn’t include season 7 as it’s not finished 1:season 1 2:season 3 3:season 5 4:season 6 5:season 2 6:season 4 I don’t think Kate should have ever left
For season 5, i honestly don't understand why Michelle had a problem with Daniel and Emily. I mean, she was fine with Riley being in charge there is literally no difference as they were on good terms at the time.
Yes!!! I've been looking forward to this video for ages!!! I agree with most of your opinions (as usual) and here is my own ranking, from best to worst: 1 - Season 3. My favourite season! I love the dances in this season and how mature the dancers were. I loved the storylines, especially the Internationals episodes, and every episode had some significance, like you said. However, there are some things I don't like about this season, such as Max having literally no storyline, James leaving and then coming back, and some characters being a bit annoying. 2. Season 6. I loved this season! There were a lot of new things, like the prom, the convention, the escape room and Regionals being a lot different than just performing a group dance 5 times. I love everyone's outfits and I really enjoyed the characters. The relationships were great, except for Richelliot and Tamy (Amy and Ty). I'm a bit sad that Henry and Amy decided not to be a couple and Jacquie and Noah broke up, but that's it. Michelle and Emily's scenes were hilarious and the Nochelle episode makes me cry every time I watch it! Also the dances this season were very enjoyable. 3. Season 2. This season was great! I think the length was perfect and we had lots of funny scenes, like the one with Zoltan and Minnow and the one with Luther Brown. I enjoyed the storylines and Nationals was really cool! The bit about Emily hurting her knee was unexpected (in a good way) and I love the characters. However, I don't like how Michelle and Emily didn't audition for A-Troupe and also the Michelle-Hunter-Emily-Eldon quadrangle soap-opera got very irritating. 4. Season 1. This season was really good! I liked how the characters were younger and were doing pretty relatable teenage stuff. The Michelle and Emily rivalry was fun to watch but I was so happy when they became friends and then Emily hated her again in the last episode, so I feel like all the build-up was a waste of 30 episodes. I love Jiley and Regionals, and all the storylines were great. Some of my favourites were West and Seeds, Chloe and her money problems and James and his math, although it was a bit unrealistic that he didn't know the volume of a cube that's 2 by 2 by 2 and he's in, what, 10th grade? Also, the part where Emily made her dancers stay till past 12 was completely ridiculous and probably illegal. Some of the scenes were very cringy. 5. Season 5. This season was decent. It was a bit short but I enjoyed some of the characters and the TNS West and TNS East thing was mildly interesting, but I found it a bit stupid and boring sometimes. Also, I didn't like some of the characters like Josh, Daniel and Emily. Jacquie was a bit dramatic sometimes, but I think she's a great dancer and I like her outfits. Jacquie and Noah's relationship was also a bit unrealistic because of how quickly they got together and I feel like they fought a lot. I didn't like how they didn't go to a competition this season, but the Regionals video was amazing! Also, I felt very sad for Piper when Josh rejected her 😥 6. Season 7. I can't judge this season too much, because it's not even halfway through yet but I haven't enjoyed it too much. Episode 1, 2 and 5 were great, but the rest aren't that good and I don't enjoy rewatching this season. I feel like the characters I don't like or I'm getting sick of get lots of screen time (e.g. Summer, Cleo, Nick), and I'm not seeing the people I want to see enough. Also, I found Episode 7 very cringy and I hate that Finn and Amy are together now, but I'm interested to see where it goes. I just don't want Piper's heart to get broken! Also, I'm getting very sick of Summer and I thought it was a bit stupid that she and Henry broke up. I think they just needed to sort things out, but hey, maybe they just weren't meant to be. However, I loved the dances and Michelle's exit and Piper with her hair down 😍 7. Season 4. I'm sure you already knew this was coming, but I hate this season. It's fun to rewatch (which is why I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted it above Season 7 or not, please don't hate me) but I'm trying to rank these seasons on how good they are, not just my opinion. Some things I enjoyed are the OGs leaving (even though it's sad), James, Eldon and West, Michelle's growth and development (however she talked about herself so much that I got very bored of her) and the new characters. However, I have a lot of cons. Noah and Amanda's relationship was a bit cringy but they are a cute couple, Riley being studio head for whatever reason, Riley's outfits, Riley and Alfie's relationship, Alfie in general, the Zero Percent Club, the Regionals loss, the length of the season and some of the characters (Sloane, Latroy, Cassie, Alfie, Skylar and Riley). If you read this all, then I just want to say thanks! I tend to go over the top when I'm saying my opinions about a TV show 😂 Anyway, I really enjoyed this video Alishea! Thanks for making my Sunday again! 💖💖
Personally, I'd rank it: 1. Season 2 2. Season 1 3. Season 6 4. Season 3 5. Season 4 6. Season 7 7. Season 5 Other than how some seasons switch places from time to time depending on how I feel , I currently agree with this placement. I think that all of the seasons had at least a few good moments and all had some sort of entertainment value. The reason 4 is not last is because I found all of the characters dance styles refreshing in that season refreshing and just found the cast change in general a nice touch. I could elaborate more on my rankings if anyone wants I just don't want to write a full on essay lol.
I would have thought that Margie was real in all scenes except the one where Chloe decides to leave or stay, where she is Chloes imagination and she is learning to make a choice without her, but all in all, Margie disappearing into glitter is REALLY UNREALISTIC!!!
GUYS SEASON 4 IS SO GOOD WHAT ARE Y'ALL SAYING 😂 Like I get a lot of the plots where unrealistic but for me it was the most entertaining 😂 (Riley as studio head was so bad but also so incredibly funny)
I personally also liked parts of season 4 Riley being my favourite character (not that I am a fan of the whole Alfie storyline) I did in particular like seeing the more like you know serious and angry Riley when she finds out Salone used actual choreo in the freestyle round
S6 was actually pretty good. It sort of goes with s5 to make up one super long story so it was a bit disconcerting to have no drawn out scenes explaining the departures of Josh {who was becoming quite interesting}, Zara {who was just starting to come into her own} and Lola {which was potentially a great loss as she'd become a heavyweight character}. I've no idea if there was any off season stuff involving the sacking of Emily and Michelle so it was a bit daft seeing them together working in the juice bar. Their sacking was down to Emily's dishonesty with Michelle in a] not telling her what Daniel suspected about Richelle's snapping hips & b] not absolving her of any responsibility to Miss Kate {Michelle didn't even know !} so I'd have thought the last person Michelle would want to work with would be Emily and the last place she'd want to work would be in the same building she's just been fired in, seeing all the dancers a few times each day, bumping into Miss Kate ! I also thought the plot to get rid of Miss Angela was so far fetched and rather stretched credulity. I understand that it was necessary to bring back Emily & Michelle but it was poor execution and lacking in realism. The way that whole episode was handled summed up some of the worst aspects of TNS for me. I think there are creatively entertaining ways to bring about certain happenings in films/shows/plays but it feels like too much of the time directors and writers take the easy path that has apparent short term gains but in the long run poses more problems than it solves. Very little about the first season was actually unrealistic. Every subsequent season at times struggled with reality. Which is a problem both in drama and reality TV styled drama. There were other flaws with the season but to be honest, there hasn't been a flawless one and when set alongside what was good about s6, the flaws are actually few and far between, even if they are big ones. Some of the newcomers like Summer, Kenzie, Davis, Ms Angela and Lily were welcome additions and I thought the story lines, for the most part, were incisive and brought up really good talking points, for example, was Ms Angela wrong in her "winners" approach ? Was Ozzy out of order to have deliberately flouted Kingston's privacy and read letters addressed to Kingston's mum ? Was Chloe right in her summation of Richelle's talents being overshadowed by her lack of emotion and connection as a dancer ? Was Elliot right to break up with Richelle ? Should Jacquie have helped Davis ? Should Piper have let her guard down with Finn when she clearly liked him and could see her liked her ? Should Emily & Kate have conspired to get rid of AcroNation under the pretext of them being a rival studio ? Should Michelle have gone along with it ? Should Eldon have made an issue about stealing choreo given that Emily and Michelle were his friends ? Should Amy have left TNS or just knuckled down to be a member of the team ? Should Amy and Henry have just talked to each other about their feelings ? Should Jacquie have felt that her worth to Noah was tied up in her status as a dancer ? Should the idea of a promposal be outlawed by the Canadian govt ? Questions, questions ! I thought Noah was shown in an interesting light. He showed some real strength in the way he played being DC. He dealt with Jacquie as a team member not his girlfriend, he helped Piper and Ozzy with their weak areas, which, while not being the domain of only the DC, was good leading by example. But he lost it and succumbed to the pressure in the lead up to regionals which would be disturbing on any level and he gave away his captaincy to Lily in a way that put the team at risk which could have been devastating. And for the record, I thought that the decision to remove him from the team because of him reaching 18 was the right one although paradoxically it was also the right one to bring him back and work that much harder as the team would be in the higher age category. That didn't stop them imploding, though ! Up until the last few episodes of s4, Noah had always really irritated me and I wouldn't have cried if the show had junked him at that point but I have to say that the last few episodes of that season plus him in 5 & 6 {for the most part}, he won me over. His dancing was always good and never did a thing for me ~ it's as a character that he hit paydirt. I disliked Ozzy even more throughout most of s6 but he started to put in a good shift as a character in the latter half and few things have given me as good a laugh as when he leapfrogged over Kingston when they were at war. I've always been a fan of the Richelle character. She irritates the life out of me and I find her hateful in many ways and arrogantly soulless. That's why I like her; she has long provided that important _other side_ which gives the show balance and gets the emotions stirred up {she's that person you want to throw things through the screen at !} and I think she was pretty much at her best in seasons 5&6. She's actually one of the few characters that has put in a good shift on the show, season after season, even in the hard times when TNS was veering off the rails. While it felt like some story lines were being recycled {we'd already had 2 instances of a dancer dancing for both teams in the same competition, for example}, truth is that you _do_ get the same kind of happenings cropping up repeatedly both with teens and with teams, so I didn't really have a problem with that. Many that have been teenagers or worked around them or had teenage kids will often catch that sense of deja vu~ it goes with the territory. The twist in the tale at the end of regionals was a good one and all in all, s6 ranks as a good one for me. If I had to put the first six seasons in my order of preference it would go 1, 4, 6, 5, 2 and then 3. 1 is the clear winner, 4 comes in a highly rated 2nd. 6 and 5 in many ways are interchangeable but 6 edges it only just {though that could change at any given moment} because overall, its characters are slightly stronger {despite the high quality of Lola & Elliot} and Michelle manages the amazing feat of 6 strong and compelling seasons on the bounce as a character. 2 is the biggest disappointment for me but not the least ranked, 3 remains a poorly cooked omelette. I'd struggle to fill an hour long show with its truly legendary parts ~ although they are definitely there.
ur order is completely fair and justified! mine changes all the time but currently it is: 1. season 2 2. season 1 3. season 3 4. season 6 5. season 5 6. season 4 7. season 7 8. season 8
I actually liked Heather in season 5, because besides being a great dancer, she had a proper storyline and it developed piper character a little bit more 💜
My uncles one of the writers for the next step get said they didnt know what to do with Alfie so they did a generator things to decide why he would be rich or something like that and it came up with prince
One thing I appreciate was the randomness of Cierra, West, and Max testing Noah's "abilities." At first it came off as filler, but to see the payoff in the end was honestly amazing. The blindfolded dance may not have been crazy impressive, but that plot line is like one of my favorites of the whole season. I just like Noah as a character in all honesty.
same
@Athena Tait yeah I know lol
I liked Noah but I didn’t like how in season 3 he didn’t fit in but it never really felt like Noah fitted in at the end of the day
The plot just made it unrealistic at that point ?
But can we talk about Miss Kate and Amanda's relationship in S3 like Miss Kate, what the.... I get the tension from S2 but, chill, Amanda has moved on and deserved better, but S4 didn't do her justice, the writers must hate Amanda or something. #AmandaDeservedBetter
Thanks for likes guys I have never gotten this many before!
Brendam Productions Totally agree! They wouldn’t even be at Internationals if it wasn’t for her
omg thankyou. I thought i was the only who saw that ahahah
Yes omg I thinks Amanda was just wasted I hate that so much
I couldn't agree more
Brendam Productions You are so right! Amanda was overlooked in every season! They didn’t use her! They wouldn’t even win Nationals or go to Internationals if it wasn’t for her! Great Spot!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
For Alfie being a prince that's literally when they ran out of ideas for the show
Lol so true
Yeah!
Yeah a prince dance doesn’t mix
true
Mahirah Lulagala hahhahhaha that is so true
4:59
Mockingariana: Everyone seemed very confidant in season 3
Michelle: Am I a joke to you
Didn't think about that 🤣
Riley: I cant run the studio...can I?
You: no.
sorry I cant stop laughing now-
Same
She’s right Riley can’t run the studio
sold 💴 my soul 🧞♀️to Dye Shairsby👸🏿she said 🗣 shank you 😻 and I said 🌝 yeah👍yeah🎵🎶 I wanna Dye ⚰😍
😂😂 me 2
Season 3 is superior and sorry but nothing can change my mind. 😂
Well actually 1-3 will always be superior but season 3 always is the one i rewatch and can still enjoy all of the time
Season 3 is the best, i also rewatch it a LOT XD
same season 3 is godly
Season 4 and 5 were my least favourite but I'm really liking season 7
I agree that 1and 2 are amazing! Like I really like them but season 3 it think is forgettable. I mean I can't even remember one thing that happened in that season. Tbh when I think of season 3 it just blurs together with season 4 and just completely forget. Sos but this is my opinion.
Where do you watch it?
My opinion:
1 (best). Season 1. It seemed very real and Daniel’s injury was very serious compared to Richelle’s and Noah’s injuries. They were in different places yet it seemed to have linked together quite nicely. They had their own roles. It seemed quite natural and the variety of personalities.
2. Season 3. The dances were amazing since Internationals were amazing and peaked. This time they had alternates (they had alternates before but they left before Nationals) There futures were planned out and it seemed as a family, such as Season 1. It was less unrealistic because MARGIE “disappears” for a Reality DANCE TV show.
3. Season 2. It really shows everyone’s storyline and it connects well on from the previous season. I liked how we also saw B-Troupe and J-Troupe and also how they did ‘The Challenge’. I especially liked it how they had a whole episode of J-Troupe Auditions. Emily’s injury was, like Daniel’s, very cared for and how she couldn’t dance again. It was slightly unrealistic because when James tries to get Michelle back, he throws a flash mob with many dancers. How could he get many dancers in under a few hours. I did not like Eldon wasn’t dorky.
4. Season 6. They didn’t do auditions, which I felt was very brave, since they did do auditions in the past. I liked Michelle and Emily’s relationship, Piper’s Anxiety, Noah’s Future, Amy going to AcroNation. They didn’t go to different places, so that’s a con. Heather’s leaving was just there, like it had no explanation. Richelle could’ve just rested for a bit more time because of her Snapping Hip Syndrome. Kenzie and Finn could’ve had a storyline with Richelle as well. It was full of emotion.
5. Season 5. I didn’t like how some of the dancers were quite immature, like Jacquie. Zara could’ve had a better explanation on how she juggled Math(s). The new storylines were rushed. It’s great how they all merged together but I would like a bit more fun instead of igniting the drama to its peak. Richelle had a storyline, which is INCREDIBLE.
6. Season 7 (so far). It’s great overall, I liked the dances (so far) but the storylines are kind of cringey like Summer didn’t have the courage to tell Henry he couldn’t pick up the choreography and she turned the lights off to the whole season. I did like Kingston and Lily ship. Amy just appeared in the first episode and it didn’t lead on well from her off season episode. She could’ve auditioned back like the Lily situation.
7 (worst). Season 4. The dances could’ve been better executed but it was unrealistic because James kept going back and forth (Canada to London, London to Canada, Canada to Switzerland, Switzerland to London). It relied on a lot of relationships and the 0% Club didn’t make an impact on me. I think Miss Kate didn’t think how great it would be to make Riley to make Studio Head because she’s never had any experience. And Alfie was a prince? WHAT??
How long did it take for you to write that
exactly! alfie being a prince was so unrealistic and random and had nothing to do with dance
Heather left because she didn’t like Miss Angela, she was in the first episode.
Alfie had a great potential to be a good character, like one of the best but they ruined him with the prince and jiley storyline. We had already seen it with Beth so it was kinda repetitive
Yeah I agree I don’t like season 4 that much either #Jiley4life
For me it’s:
The first is:season3
2:season 1
3: season 2
4: season 6
5: season 5
6: season 7 so far
The worst is:season4
Same with me, season 3 will always be my favourite.
For me
BEST:season 3
1:season 1
2:season 6
3:season 2
4:season 7
5:season 5
WORST:season 4
Season 3 never gets old and has a great storyline
Season 4 on the other hand was just weird and confusing I don’t like how there was random plots that had no relevance like Alfie being a prince.
Agreed
Same that’s what I think I love s1 and s3
@@elenatramontana234 I agree :)
I love s1 because everyone just cared about each other and kept a look out for each other. What was so cute was when they said tns was a home and family. Everyone always felt safe at tns. And I loved that everyone was just caring and had different personalities. And the best thing about s1 is that it's fun and just the best I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT
Yeah.. It's very iconic, unique and Entertaining. Party i wish that same team made to Internationals together.
With giving them more character development.
I feel like season 4 was just trying to replace the old characters like west with latroy
Yes everyone was just trying to be replaced when you can’t replace say west- he’s legendary! Just give everyone there own storyline, like in s5 I hate the way heather is like chloe, GIVE HER HER OWN STORYLINE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! But I really agree with you x
Malachi Nyika-Kerr it’s kinda him latroy and Kingston
@Malachi Nyika-Kerr same
I totally agree that season 1 was the best because I think that in the later seasons, the storylines were a lot more unrealistic and the plot and drama to season 1 was the perfect length. Therefore I think that season 4 was the worst because they dragged out the James, Riley and Alfie storyline out for way to long and the other characters barely had a storyline.
My order would be:
Season 3
Season 6
Season 1
Season 2
Season 7
Season 5
Season 4
I think season 4 is everyone's least favorite season!
I agree whole heartedly
Mine would probably be
3
6
2
1
7
5
4
So like baisically the same 😂
IKR ..... I HATE season 4
My order
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
Season 5
Season 4
Yup
Riley becoming studio head was practically the start of all the problems in Season 4. I didn't mind the Regionals loss, but when it all came down to a really silly and unnecessary decision, it just seemed ridiculous. Also when Kate left in Season 4, she didn't even say goodbye and left Riley to tell everyone. I don't think she even called to try and see how Riley was doing and only returned after the loss occurred. When she returned in Season 5, she just oversaw what Emily and Michelle were doing. She barely did anything for the studio after resigning as studio head.
Here is what she did (or didn't do):
1. After returning, she created Studio 1 and made Emily studio head and later Michelle for TNS East and West.
2. She didn't seem concerned that TNS West had no support and was not considered much of a legitimate troupe.
3. She decided to stop the studio from going to Regionals until the merge between East and West.
4. She fired Emily and Michelle, although Michelle had no idea about Richelle being injured and hired Miss Angela. She didn't even see how Miss Angela actually treated the A-Troupers.
5. She rehired Emily and Michelle and gave them an ultimatum about Regionals.
6. Realising she was not able to maintain the studio anymore she sells it to Nick, effectively renouncing her ties with the studio indefinitely.
Like if you agree!
Did Margie exist? I’m confused now 😂
I think what happened was she was a person but when Chloe was doing herSolo Margie was in Chloe’s mind but only for a
Jasmine Hiscott ohhhh that makes sense
She was a person in season 1 when the e-girls were helping baby ballet and I’m pretty sure she was in season 2. I really don’t know about season 3 though 😂
i dont know
I think she exists but only in people's minds so like she exists but doesnt exist...
The problem I have with Season 5 is that there were 2 unnamed characters on tns west. Briana was just named but she was never called it, Jordan, Tyler and Danielle had one unique scene with the merge and not wanting to be on it and LaTroy left relatively quickly. Briana and the unnamed's needed some plot, Jordan, Tyler and Danielle needed some more scenes. The only season that didn't need to be watched had some of the more forgettable characters. I wish they could have revealed the votes for Dance Captain because that would have been interesting. Lola and Ozzy probably voted for Richelle, Amy and probably Henry voted Piper and Josh and Jacquie voted for Noah (just guessing here). Noah probably didn't win by too many votes and Piper probably came second. Even Elliot had more plot than LaTroy.
I agree with the unnamed characters but i disagree with the voting part. Henry was bestfriends with Noah in Season 5 and even though he said to Piper that he had her vote, he legally didnt mean it. And when Emily announced that Noah is the dance captain henry was even shocked and was cheering him on for geting the position. And Amy didnt VOTE at all because in the epsiode she had an audition for the Geminis. and when she returned to the studio, she says "Why is noah taking in charge" and piper said "its because he is the dance captain " and Amy was like " ohhhh" The episode is SEASON 5 EPISODE 16
@@tresormuliro8429 sorry, I did it off of thought and after I just rewatched the episode I think I have a clear idea of who voted for who.
Amy: didn't vote as she was at Gemini.
Heather: Whilst she was the only one that had no scenes about the vote, it could be presumed either Noah or Piper.
Henry: Whilst he was Piper's vote campaign manager and pointed at Piper, he high-fived Noah so it can be presumed he voted Noah.
Jacquie: She may as well have revealed her vote with her Talking Heads. She voted Noah.
Josh: While he said he would vote Piper, he also high-fived Noah. He voted Noah.
Kingston: He was part of the 5 freestyling. He voted Noah.
Lola: Whilst she was Richelle's campaign manager and looked shocked when she didn't get it, she made a reason for Noah. She voted either Noah or Richelle.
Noah: Probably Piper, as when Henry pointed at Piper, it looked like Noah nodded. He probably voted Piper.
Ozzy: He has a crush on Richelle. Clearly he voted Richelle. He didn't talk with Noah much especially before this happened.
Piper: She might have voted for herself.
Richelle: She clearly voted herself.
Zara: Part of the freestyling 5, so clearly she voted for Noah.
Presuming that Piper received votes from herself, Noah and Heather, Richelle received votes from herself, Ozzy and maybe Lola and Noah received votes from Josh, Kingston, Henry, Zara and Jacquie would mean that Noah won 5-3-3. This is all speculation but this seems relatively accurate. If you feel differently about aby of the votes, please don't hesitate to reply.
@@Jonathan_Burton I agree with your second comment, when Richelle and Piper started making campaign promises (just like those politicians at election time), Noah scolded them both, saying that they were separating the group, that the right thing was to unite the gang and everyone agreed with Noah and that's where he won the vote without knowing it. Now I'm just wondering who Josh voted for, because he was consoling Piper and regretting the fact that she didn't win, I think he must have voted for her, even though Noah and Piper's tie would go, but the rest you quoted ai (Henry, Jacquie, Kingston, Zara) must have voted for Noah, so either Heather voted for Noah or maybe Josh himself, but then felt bad for Piper
I would like to state my opinions in this very comment so that I don't have 1000000000 comments, imao:
1) I think Max's storyline is that he is quiet and everybody thinks he is missing elite, but actually he's just independent and private, and eventually he blossoms into being friends with some of the boys.
2) I kinda like that season 2 ended on a bad note because then everybody wanted season 3, and everybody watched it to find out about what happened.
3) I've never really liked Eldon I don't like his character. He acts really immature and I think that he should have shown some growth, which I didn't see in his character.
4) I feel like Kenzie is just being used, like her storylines are just being friends with someone, or sharing a storyline with somebody else, and she isn't going to get the opportunities she deserves because of it
5) Season 5 is really boring, I didn't like it because they could have done much more with it than they did (also it is half the episodes of season 4)
6) Thank you for reading my rant XOXO, no hate, plz like and feel free to share your own opinions with me (I will try to respond)
Season 7 is further proving your point about Kenzie. Honestly it is rlly bugging me
Season 3
Season 1
Season 2
Season 6
Season 7(so far it would be higher when its its over probably)
Season 5
Season 4
Ayeeee you have my list
i agree with s4 I absolutely hated s4
I feel like season 7 might be lower now😂😂
My ranking is the same but season 6 over 2
did season 7 go higher? just a question🤔🤣
When Michelle saw another one of herself that was meant as a metaphor that her old self is gone and now new Michelle is moving on to bigger and better things!
I know that 😂 but is that possible in real life? No, so it shouldn't be in a show that was trying to be a mock reality show
@@mockingariana3 yeah, I guess you're right I'm really disappointed that tns lost their original style as the show went on😥
Have been rewatching the series and S4 Michelle feels unrecognisable to S1-3 Michelle (and S5-6 to some extent)
Season 2 was by far my favorite. It was the most far drama has gone in TNS ever i think but i absolutely love all the dances, even a couple of elite ones. there was showstoppa, jiley's duet, rewind and it was just amazing. the drama really hooked me and the plot was so good.
Yep s2 low-key underrated compared to s3 - the storylines and drama were insanely gone
My list:
1. Season 3
2. Season 2
3. Season 1
4. Season 6
5. Season 7
6. Season 5
7. Season 4
Cat Girl26 YES!!!! Finally someone I totally agree with😅😄
I'm avoiding a long comment this time round - I've been dwelling on the loss of my last one all week. So all I'm going to say is that I agree with pretty much all your opinions, but my personal order would be S2 at the top, then S6, S3, S1, S7, S5 and S4 at the bottom.
This doesn't seem to be a popular opinion, but I loved the character development in S2, I agree wholeheartedly about the continuity and the new characters, and the Nationals episodes are far and away my favourite of the competition episodes (god I hope they make it back, it's looking like they're going to ditch Nationals in S7 and that's the one thing I didn't want them to do) - and S7 and S5 are kind of a tie for me. I liked them both far more often than I disliked them, I’ve loved multiple episodes in both, and I'm hoping S7 will pick up more in the second half - although I've already said that about it once before the main storylines began... We'll see.
At the end of the day I love the show, so any available episodes are a good thing - even if they were released during S4 😂
Just Immiagine Season 2 is mine too!
Yes exactly I don't want them to throw away nationals it's gonna make it a worse season
erm season 3 is the best
Isnt anyone gonna talk about how in season 1 auditions chloe said emilys flexibility was INSANE but it wasnt really insane is was quite average.
the character was the best dancer, as far as the actress was concerned, she was the one who danced the least. And like Richelle, the actress Briar was the best dancer compared to the other actresses in the cast, while the character Richelle was not the best, as she lost in competitions to other dancers.
For me:
1. Season 2
2. Season 6
3. Season 3
4. Season 1
5. Season 5
6. Season 7 (for now because the season hasn’t ended)
7. Season 4
I honestly feel like season 4 was the weakest season
Riley was not made for being studio head
She was playing with james feeling
It was just to much
But I really loved Michelle's growth as a character it was beautiful
And riley for talking Amanda off the dance that scene really had me F up
Joe Allen yep I did not like season 4
Predictions:
Season 3 top
Season 5 bottom
Season 2 second maybe?
Season 1 third
Season 6 fourth
Season 4 fifth
And Season 7 can't say yet
Oh yeah true Season 1 was probably the best I agree now 😅 It had the not properly professional feel like with how the cameras were and that made it feel better
Haha, good predictions though! You were also the first to comment so well done!
@@mockingariana3 thank you 😊
@Squeeze 123 yeah it wasn't long enough and it was the only season with no climax, every other season (so far) has had a competition at the end
Personally I think season 4 is the worst but hey
It’s ur opinion No hate:)
Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3 were all great seasons. Season 4 had such a good start in the first 4 or something episodes, then it just dropped and became the worst season of all time, it was terrible, the plots were rushed, Alfie probably suffered the worst character derailment in the entirety of the show, even the quality changed. Season 5 was probably the most neutral season out of the lot, the puns were good though. It took me until season 6 to restore my original love for TNS, then a season even worse than season 4, if that was possible, came along. That was season 7. I freaking depise this season for multiple reasons. The toxicity, the constant cutting scenes, the rushed plots, the toxic relationships, Amy can never be single god damn once, what the heck did they do with Pinn too? Yeah. That's it in my opinion. I just hope season 8 isn't as bad, if we get one.

2nd- Season 1
3rd- Season 3
4th-Season 7
5th- Season 6
6th- Season 4
Last- Season 5
This is just my personal opinion 😁😃
for me, seasons 1-3 were the best and from then on it just went downward, after they literally ALL left
My favourite seasons are 1 and 3. S1 was more of a "mockumentary" type style which I think worked well as the show didn't take itself too seriously, and S3 had some of my favourite dances of the show in the internationals. I think the storylines went a bit out of control eventually, and also have noticed that storylines from earlier seasons have started repeating themselves.
In my option the worst bit about season 2 was that when a troupe found out that Amanda was a double agent and was still at Elite hunter and Emily didn’t get back together and that rlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyy annoyed me. And I hated that dance battle so much but if the dance battle didn’t happen then idk if Thalia and Eldon would get together. If Eldon and Michelle did break up I wish they had a good reason too and that they would just stay friends. Love ur videos! Ur so good at tns decisions and stoooof. U should be in charge of the plot lines 100% (not that I don’t hate the original story lines) I just like ur ideas as well!
I think the reason they broke up was bc Victoria was 14 and Isaac was 18 so it was like illegal
@@sofhris4982 wait what??? how am i only just finding out she was 13 in season 1? I used to watch it all the time as a kid and i'm rewatching it right now and I genuinely thought Vic was 16 in season 1. I thought the youngest actor on A troupe would've been Riley's actress and thought she was like 14-15.
@@tyrant7482Riley was 18 in season 1😭
I completely agree with the rank also, Michelle said that she didn’t want to answer to Emily because they were both on a troupe in season one but Riley also ran the studio and also was on a troupe in season one so what is the difference, so I don’t understand why she could answer to Riley but not Emily.
Very true!
Good point. But in a word: attitude. She had some big disagreements with Riley in s4 but Riley didn't "fling attitude" and was approachable. Emily was a kingdom builder that didn't care if a few slaves got crushed in the construction. Riley was easier to dominate; Michelle wasn't all sweetness and light !

Season 2 just sixth ?? 🐵🐵
Finally some one else that likes season 6. I love the dancing and the emotion in it. I just love Noah and Jackie and the dances.
Goo Galore I know same
season 4 was an absolute tragedy
season 1 you actually got stuff about school and outside the studio where as most other seasons you didn't
I feel like Amanda's character in season 4 came full circle, because in season 2 she said elite bever showed her any lover. Plus she has felt betrayed by Miss Kate, Giselle and Thalia, so she could finally be herself around Noah because she knew he loved her, and she did have some of her wittyness in season 4.
I think Margie was real because everyone could see her and she helped Chloe when she didn’t know what to do. I think The scene where she disappears Is in Chloe’s imagination
, I think Chloe was imagining her being there because Margie usually had been there when Chloe was upset or confused.
There's something so satisfying about watching ads for your favourite UA-camr! 🙌 Now lemme sit back and watch this half hour video (I am so excited)!

4. season 2
5. season 5
6. season 7
7. season 4
i love season 1 but i think that literally the ONLY flaw is not enough story line for tiffany, shes the only character that i think was under- represented
She doesn't have any sustained drama story line, but up until just after the Seeds episode, she actually plays some important roles. And hers is _the_ devastating move that ultimately sinks Emily's ship.
@@grimtraveller7923 I think that the problem is that Tiffany never really had a plot that went everywhere. The thing with Emily was more to do with Emily than her, and the only ‘big’ plot focusing on Tiffany I can remember was when she turned J-Troupe against Daniel, which was just for that episode. I think they could have expanded on Tiffany trying to get along with the other members after being with the E-Girls for so long.
Yas this is the third most early I've ever been on this channel and MockingAriana2! (lol I'm quite devoted)
I like that season 2 showed us a lot of J-troupe. We get to meet the future of the next step early on and watch them grow to where they reach in future seasons and get a sense of there goals
Early, can’t wait to watch the video! My favourite to least favourite seasons are 1,3,6,2,5,4,7 (7 is last because the season hasn’t finished yet)!
Emerald Tara You missed Season4
XCookie Wedge Oh yeah, thank you!
Thank you so much! Can't even tell how long I've been waiting for this. :)
Although I would've wanted a more focused and less mean season 4 Michelle.
YESSSSSS! This was exactly my order! I really liked season 1 and I think everyone knows that season 4 was just so rubbish and boring.
One thing though I don't know about everyone else but I didn't like that there were 40 episodes in season 4 because it just felt SO long and it lasted for AGES, and then when it came to season 5 there were just half the amount and I felt like 20 was just too short.
The thing is, I don't know how season 7 is going to turn out to be, but I just hope they don't change the whole aspect of the show because of all this dance mania hype and going on TV, like that just does not feel like TNS, and I think everyone REALLY wants A-Troupe to go to Nationals this season, but they really are just focusing on Dance-Mania. However, I've seen the plot line for the next episode (11), and the episode is called 'There can only be one' and it says that A-troupe have to decide which way they want to go. So I think by next week, we should finally know if they're going to compete at Nationals or go on Dance-Mania.
Just one suggestion, could you do a home life video for the characters, so what you think the characters are like in their general home lives.
Loved this vid! xxx
Agree, there was no need for Season 4 to be 40 episodes while trying to tell te same plot as Season 1. I can think of at least 3 episodes whose plots were just ridiculous.
I’m not early but when I saw this I clicked fast lol that doesn’t rhyme but idc I love you alisha your my fav youtuber i think the best season was season 3 ❤️❤️
I completely agree with you about bringing back the original characters to keep fans interested in the new troupe. Characters like Henry have literally been on the troupe longer than Giselle or Eldon etc, yet they are so forgettable... tbh I think TNS should have called it quits after Season 3, cause it’s unlikely they’d win Internationals again with a troupe of completely different dancers.
That is mad that Henrys been on A troupe longer than Giselle was, you'd never think it would you?
For me it's s1,2,3,6,5,7,4
I literally agree with all your opinions- my decision was close between 1st place and second for me and 3rd and 4th
You forgot to mention on the first episode of season 4 they just disappeared in the mirror after they mentioned where they'll be going
I agree with all your opinions except for the season 4. I thought season 4 was a brilliant season even though it was mostly about Riley, James and Alfie. Other than that, the dances were amazing and the team was consisted with young talented dancers. The storylines were amazing such as James's sister (Piper ) joining a A-troupe, Skylar joining A-troupe, Sloane and Latroy not able to do contemporary etc. The season even had an Anti Bullying Episode which was really thoughtful because it could help you how to deal with bullying in many different ways. Most of the viewers on The next step are probably still in school and when they saw the Anti Bullying Episode it gave them an idea to deal with bullying or to even stand up to one.
VIDEO'S SUGGESTIONS:
WHICH A-TROUPE WAS THE STRONGEST
WHO HAD THE BEST CLOTHES ON THE NEXT STEP AND DID IT SUIT THEM?
WHICH WAS THE BEST RIVAL TEAM THAT COMPETED AGAINST THE NEXT STEP (elite, ladies of destruction, sweden, geminis, encore & acronation)
WHO WOULD MAKE A GOOD DANCE CAPTION FOR EACH SEASON?
About the Margie thing:
I think that Margie is real because why else would people talk to her but I think that it was only the scene that she turned into glitter that she was part of chloe's imagination and chloe was just dancing by herself if that makes sense.
A bit like when Michelle was "dancing with herself" the other person wasnt really there for that scene.
why on earth did riley even put michelle back on the dance eye- hello she just FAINTED?
Personally, I love the Bangers and Mashup competition. I do think it was useless but I found it so entertaining and it was the only thing keeping S4 entertaining.
Yea it was pretty cool
Yeah, I understand and respect your opinion. It''s just that the first two episodes of Season 4 had really emotional exits for West and Eldon and keeping them in Season that much made that pointless.
@@bevanborges4047, I know this is late but they were just leaving the dance studio; it wasn’t implying they were leaving the actual show
@@joeyjerry1586 OK. But the way their exits were written, it felt like they were leaving the show. I think that sort o exit should be given when the character leaves the show.
Here goes my ranking, and some reasons for them.
1. Season 3. This season was just so fun to me. I mentioned it in another comment, but the randomness of the Noah storyline to begin with was kind of weird. Like, who cares that Noah has heightened spatial awareness.....and then the payoff for this was spectacular. I loved how even though he wasn't a main character, he got a really good storyline. The whole thing with James and Riley was decent as well. Just seeing them grow as characters was pretty cool. I think Michelle was great this season too. Like, yeah, she was whiney, but it's kind of understandable. I think that a good number of the dance battles were strategic in who the writers chose. Giselle and Daniel. Tess and Amanda. Riley and James. Noah and Abi. Skylar and Cierra. Eldon and Hunter. These were all great selections in my opinion. Only conine have was the lack of character development from Max.
2. Season 1. It's what started the show off. I like how every episode really felt relevant to the story. The only episode that maybe felt not as relevant was when they have the little celebration that night a few days before Regionals, but I still felt it served its purpose in showing how far they came as a team. I like the great amount of growth seen in Emily this season. I also like the connection Michelle and Riley shared. It was cool seeing Riley getting caught between the new girl and her sister. Daniel is such a complexcharacter. It's hard for me to make opinions on him. I never really liked him that much, but I think that's just because brenan clost's acting was on point. Some cons I have are that tiffanie seemed kind of irrelevant outside of E Girls. Like she never had a storyline. I also felt like the whole Emily-Michelle-Eldon triangle was dragged on for way too long and it just kept going in Season 2, but we will get there in a moment.
3. Season 6. This season was different than 4 and 5 for me. Seasons 4 and 5 really took a huge shift from what the show was about in my opinion. Season 6 kind of reinstilled some purpose into the show. I really liked Noah's storylines this season. I actually enjoyed seeing him as dance captain and seeing how that affected his relationship with Jacque at times. I liked the introduction of Jacque's sister. I think Davis was a great addition and I liked her friendship with Kenzie and how it was a focal point in the Kenzie and Jacque storyline. I also liked seeing the growth in Ozzy. I liked him a lot in season 5 and this season just made me like his character more. Also, his friendship with Richelle is great and I hope they become a little bit more. Piper's storyline was good and I love how they developed her relationship with finn over time instead of immediately making her like him. Even though they never actually got together, I gotta say that the dynamic between Henry and amy was fantatsic. I like their parking lot dance to rome and I wish this could've become something more. Acronation was also a nice addition, but I wish they were still around. Some cons I have. Lily was annoying, but a little too annoying. I wish Kenzie got more storyline. I also wish Davis' story could've gotten closure. I wish Noah wouldn't have left, but I can understand. I just really like his character (if you havent guessed yet, he's my favorite character. )
4. Season 7 (so far). I like what's been happening. I do wish their was more focus on Piper, Finn and Amy outside of the triangle. What I like about this triangle is how they are all friends as opposed to the tension that was felt between emily michelle and eldon back in season 1. Kingston and Lily......just yes. I also we see more of izzy. Ozzy and Heath....I want to see more scenes with them potentially maybe even becoming like good bros, but their dynamic is great nonetheless. I think the show is taking a risk with Cleo and jude, and whether I like the story or not, their risk taking is impressive and I like the inclusion of Jude's dyslexia as a plot point. Can I say, I was first upset with summer being dance captain, but I like the payoff so far. the tension between her and richelle and the rest of the time at this point because of her audition has been great. Also her and henry breaking up...did not see that coming, but it definitely has me wondering what will happen next. Some cons......I cant really think of any except Kingston and lily's indecisiveness. this needs to be better addressed in a conversation between the two of them. Season 7 would be higher, but it's not done so I cant completely judge it.
5. Season 2. let's get controversial lol. You're probably surprised tos ee how low this season is, but I will explain in a moment. so first, my pros. I like the focus on the J troopers but I feel like they should've capitalized on this even more by eventually have all of those j troopers move up to a troop in maybe season 4, but that's another discussion for a later time. okay, so I liked the introduction of Hunter and what he brought to the table. I liked Amanda's storyline and her helping out in the end of the season. emily and hunters relationship washield of the best tbh. I also liked the risk of removing stephanie and tifdanie from a troop. that was bold. My cons...notice how I didnt have a lot to say about this season. I love hunter, but after just coming off of another love triangle, the live square felt redundant and in the end it broke up Michelle and eldon for no reason the dance battle cool and all, but the payoff wasnt that great. I also got bothered by how long they dragged out Riley and James breakup. Having him kiss Beth was great for shock value, but he should've been honest, let thim go through a.bump, and move forward. Instead we had the whole list thing which at times was satisfying but not enough to keep interested.this is where daniel started to bother me. I really began to just have no respect for his character. Just no. Also, why didnt emily get back together with Hunter after everything with amanda was revealed. Seemed kind of dumb to me. and although I liked the dynamic between Emily and west, it just disappeared and just no.
6. Season 5. this season was all over the place. at timdish items know what it wanted to be. The focus kept shifting. it felt like a really unnecessary way to show the conflict between emily and michelle. I dont like how after this season we didnt get to see josh, Zara, or lola again. (Okay, Zara's character was dry but still I would've had no problem seeing more). The only good part in my opinion was ozzy. Like that's it really. the conflict between noah and Henry was okay but that's all. I just didnt care much for the season. so that was a combo of pros and cons I guess. also thanks for giving richelle an actual friendonly to take her away.
7. Season 4. I dont have much to say here that the video didnt cover. I will day I personally liked Amanda and noah although it did more often than not feel awkward and a tad rushed. The season was just weird aand just dragged on and on and on and on and.......yeah you get the point. And alfie....just no.i wish we could've seen him grow in season 5, but nope.
Anyways, I commend you for making it through this lengthy comment.
Love this video btw lol.
Cassie barely had any point to the entirety of season 4.
I think season two is one of the best because that was like my favorite version of a troop with hunter and Amanda etc..
the amount of cons you listed in season 4 caught me off guard
I adore your shirt so much ❤️ That phrase lowkey makes me emotional now ❤️❤️
I think I remember in the Off-Season, when Emily said how Amy should've been taken out of the dance, because "everyone knows, you don't mix your personal life with your dance life" or something like that because LaTroy had just broken up with her. I don't think it was very realistic how Amy was - and I quote - "channelling all of her hate and anger into the dance" because that jeopardised the team's chances at winning; so, I think Amy should've been swapped with Michelle and Cassie should've stayed still, because she was still a strong dancer and was generally quite a humble member of the team.
The Final Team for Regionals FInals (Season 4) should've been:
Alfie
Henry
LaTroy
Noah
Cassie
Michelle
Skylar
Amanda
Piper
Richelle
Love the eyeshadow and t-shirt!! Yellow is an awesome colour on you!!👌🏻😭
I feel like something that would be interesting for tns is if a plot initiated in one season but finished in another, if you know what I mean. Because I feel like some plots had this potential, and it would have built more suspense for the viewers if a plot was unanswered, and would give us something to watch in the next season
the thing that annoyed me in the finale is that Amanda got replaced for Michelle after she passed out on stage, Cassie was chosen for the alternate spot and the group dance wasn't the best either
Love this video and your opinion i have recommended your videos to my friends i feel you have a very balanced opinion on the next step i do agree season 1 was the best beacause it felt like a reality style TV show and the felt like teenagers and you could realte to them🥰👍🏻💫
yay our next step queen has finally done it
Edit: btw can u do more dancing videos for example maybe you could do amandas solo in season 3 when they got merged that would be nice or you could do her nationals solo ,just a suggestion tho
My rankings
1.) season 3
2.) season 1
3.) season 2
4.) season 7
5.) season 5
6.) season 6
7.) season 4
I'm back now that I finally managed to watch season 7, so here are my opinions:
1. Season 3 - Amazing dancing, Won internationals, good relationships, little to no drama (and if there was it was realistic and not all romantic based), all dances performed were epic, good storylines, Amanda did not get proper chance though, and Max didn't really interact with everyone, and Lucien being an internationals judge is kinda unrealistic.
2. Season 6 - Everyone was a family, character development in all characters, all the dances were memorable and superb, emotional to watch, cool, unique storylines (prom, escape room), characters had fun, some immature moments however, and the whole henry, ty, amy, summer love quadrangle was kinda stupid.
3. Season 2 - So many iconic dances, all of the other troupes were featured well, great relationships and friendships, all the dancers improved vastly since season 1, but some storylines were kind of unrealistic aka the flash mob or the problem with michelle when shopping. i also think the season was dragged out for too long.
4. Season 1 - Good storylines, it was actually realistic (school exists, they have life outside of dance), scenes outside of the studio, some romance but not too much, dancing wasn't as great as other seasons, and there weren't many other dances apart from groups (few solos, duets and i'm pretty sure there weren't any trios).
5. Season 5 - Great dancing, richelle finally got a freaking proper friendship, wasn't too romance oriented, merging of troupes created a family, starting her own troupe was a bit petty of michelle, idk why emily would not let hip hop dancers audition, the whole storyline was too based around the opposing troupes
6. Season 4 - They actually had really good dances, good relationships mostly, but it was kind of seperated (aka zero percent club, previous internationals dances, they kept relying on the previous troupe to keep the story going, all the ralfie and jiley drama was honestly too much, and who the heck can just fly out to london and leave the team at 18 while trying to run their own dance studio.
7. Season 7 - Glad richelle finally got some recognition, but they chose a really bad way to display that, pinn happened, but through a terrible storyline, characters just seemed really immature (slamming the door in richelle's face, the sulking in the audience), kenzie was basically completely ignored, character development from last season completely was thrown out the window, too romance oriented, and a troupe had to choreograph for themselves like what happened to ms angela?
Season 7 is by far my least favourite. They recycled old character plots from early seasons, Summer is unlikable and annoying, most characters have no screentime nor plot, nick has way too much screentime, I wish a-troupe were going to nationals not dance mania, summer expects to constantly be given everything and I hate it when they have characters leave and don’t come up with an explanation eg when Richelle wasn’t there or Where Emily has gone. I know the actors and and actresses get busy but come up with an explanation, don’t just disregard their whole existence.
I agree with you seasons 7 is the worst one, they did too muc with dance mania and they let b troupe got to nationals and when a troupe lots dance mania they wanted to go to nationals. Like no that’s not how it works. You can’t just leave and expect everything to be handed to you
i think that Alfie being a prince was good because that could of been what made Riley fall in love with Alfie.
well done
this was very entertanng
i love your channel
I just realised that every other seas9n (1,3,5,7) there is like a fight between who is going to reionals/nationals/internationals. In s1 it is either "Emily's troup" or "Michelle's troup" going to regionals. In s3 it is either Lucien and Elite or Miss Kate and tns. In s5 it was tns east or tns west and in s7 it was B troup or A troup. Random but just wanted to point it out.
I feel like if the writers were unsure about keeping the interest of the audience from the old seasons to the new seasons, instead of trying to keep the old a-troupers around and involved, they should have kept some of the old characters that were showcased in the episodes previously like gabi and becca. (I found it really disappointing having Gabi and becca very briefly shown if the auditions of season 4 and not acknowledged even briefly), jake (from b-troup, maybe some of the elite members that joined b troup. I know that directors and producers like to bring new cast and characters in some cases for shows to progress but I feel like it wasn’t executed in season 4 as it was in season 2 or 3 as mentioned. I think audiences would be interested in seeing original tns characters grow further, instead of a brand new lot and desperately trying to keep them interesting. But idk. (Me personally) sorry for my rant 💙💙
the reason Jake and some of the B team and also Nick (Elite dancer) didn't get in, is because the actors were already old (they were the same age if not older, from the original Troupe), they were just there, only people competing. Now Gabi, Becca and Tyle deserved to join the A-Troupe because they were the same age as Noah and Richelle. Tyle (who has been in since season 3) joined the A-Troupe in season 5, just to make an appearance poor thing, if he had joined as the main character in Josh's place, he and Piper could have become a couple and they wouldn't have had to put Finn, who only joined to replace Josh
I feel like they gradually phased the characters like west or Eldon out so fans didn't get angry cos we all love the originals. Like they have brung characters back for even little cameos just to keep the fans happy
The reason why Amanda was an alternate because the actor Logan had an injury, because she said something about it on an interview, but I don't get it because Amanda did her solo falling apart and the battle between elite.
I acc totally agree with ure list cause season 4 was literally based on three way relationships and romance whereas season 1 was realistic and enjoyable
Like if u have been here from season 1
For me s1 is the gold standard, the Grand Poobaah. Everything came together in a unique synergy; the characters, the songs, the story lines, the tension, the dances, the realistic innocence of the acting and "scripts", the locations, the opponents, the lack of the silliness that became very much part of future seasons. Sometimes, these things just work and they reach deeply in ways that weren't particularly intended at the outset. Not all TV shows start strong but s1 is without a doubt, the measuring stick when it comes to "The Next Step." Many show's first seasons don't have to be.
I think it was a fluke and I also think it took the show's creators by surprise which is possibly why the next couple of seasons seemed to me to be such a struggle. Getting to the top is the easier part. Staying there and getting further is another matter altogether.
Naturally, it's not without its flaws ~ a couple of the latter episodes seriously flag {the stay late get together and the costume episode are particular guilty parties here} and there's some character inconsistency in Michelle that borders on the incredulous. Yet even those flagging episodes have some heavyweight scenes that are among the top echelon of TNS scenes. For me, there isn't a single episode in s1 that is unwatchable even if there are parts that I wouldn't cry for if I never saw them again. None of its flaws are deal breakers for me. Unlike later on, the comedy isn't forced. It feels natural and actually may not even be intentional comedy at all.
What s1 has in spades and droves is balance. In a way, it had to. After all, it was moving along the road less travelled. It became the template and the challenge was always going to be to both top it and develop/progress. I am a big fan of the show still but in my book, it's certainly never topped the first season. On the other hand, it has, for the most part, continued to develop and progress despite some sizeable hiccups along the way. TNS has moved further and further away from its original premise as a reality TV styled show and whether that has been a good thing or a bad thing is open to debate. In s1 the aping of reality TV is at least convincing ~ I originally didn't have any interest in the show because I thought it _was_ a reality TV show and most reality TV bores me to the extent I avoid it like a wild eyed pit bull.
It is also the season that integrates dance and drama better than any other and I say that as someone that isn't particularly a fan of dance. TNS ultimately moved in the direction of separation, you had the drama bits, you had the dance bits. But in s1, pretty much every dance that appears, right from the first episode, is more than just a dance ~ it's a vital part of the story. When I watch just about any other dance from any other season, I can appreciate it for what it is and it exists independently, stands on its own. The s1 dances cannot do that for me. They are _so_ integral to what is going on in the story at that moment and beyond, that isolating them as a UA-cam or Hulu video simply has me recalling their context and wanting to watch s1 all over again ! They are quite literally scenes from the show.
The songs that were created for that first season just hit me left, right and centre, under, over sideways and down. There are a few films with songs that have done that to me in my life but the last was so long ago, I never thought such a thing would happen to me again. But the quality of the songs is insane. "Turn me around," "Feel the fire," "Made it go," "Can't get you outta my head," "We go," "Addicted 2U," "We do it big," "Inside out" and "More than that" are such a blast and a bit like the dances, encapsulate the scenes they appear in. I can't hear "We go" without seeing Riley slip her hand into James' on the bus, or "We do it big" without seeing Seeds wiggling about and TNS trying to match them or "Inside out" without seeing the intensity of Michelle and Eldon's duet rehearsals and Michelle flying through the air and Eldon catching her or "Addicted 2U" without being swept up in the demise of Emily's regime or "Made it go" without seeing Daniel practice his moves or "Can't get you out of my head" without seeing Eldon vault over Emily on their 3½ shake date....Unlike the dances however, the songs do stand alone as independent entities and are wicked songs, brilliantly written and executed, even though they always call to mind the scenes they were in. Many of them also gave rise to great alternative versions that get used as incidental music in different scenes down the years.
S1 also fully realized every A troupe character {their characters were pretty well pegged out by the time they arrived at regionals} and each one got significant screen time. I don't think this happened again until s4.
All in all, it's my favourite season and in my mind, is going to take some beating, if it ever does actually get beaten.
Yay I'm early love your videos, they make my Sunday xxx
My opinion :
First Place: Season 3
Second Place : Season 2
Third Place: Season 1
Fourth Place: Season 6
Fifth Place : Season 7
Sixth Place: Season 5
AN ABOMINATION OF A SEASON: SEASON 4
Margie disappeared because they wanted her to become like Chloe’s “Guardian angel”. So they had her disappear so they kept the angel feel.
I feel like season 4s only substance was the Ralfie/jiley drama. If you take that away nothing really stands out about the season, the relationships were poor (Noah and Amanda felt very weird to me because if you think back to season 2 and how they both looked. I'm just going to leave you with that) Honestly I think too many key characters were taken out from season 3, it should have been more staggered so we still felt a connection and an ongoing family feel to the team despite having some new members we could still have familiar faces and once the other characters gradually left we still could feel a strong connection with the team as we would have gotten to know them the previous season. On the other hand one thing I did like was the fact TNS lost regionals because I feel like that is very realistic considering Riley paid absolutely no attention to the team and it would be ridiculous for them to win every competition. Losing is a big part of dance and it can't be helped. Also wtf were the writers thinking making Alfie a prince. Surely someone must have recognised him. Think about the British royal family; it doesn't matter if you are a brit or not everyone still knows what they look like. If prince Charles was suddenly a teacher at your school its hardly as if he would go unnoticed.
Losing wasn't the problem with Season 4, but most of everything else was pure cringe. It would have been better for them to have had a good season and lost.
@@bevanborges4047 I didn’t say losing was the issue, I actually liked they did that- made it more realistic
the Noah and Amanda thing wouldn't have even been bad if the ages of the characters weren't so inconsistent. Amanda is supposed to be the same age as the S1 A-troupers (she dated James too) while Noah was labelled to be much younger. His physical appearance changing isn't a problem since in real life the actors are only one month apart in their age. It's just weird because they labelled Noah as being a lot younger than Amanda, but then for some reason in S4, he's the same age as her. Which would make him the same age or OLDER than Riley. And since he only turned 18 in I think Season 6, how did Riley become studio head at 17 years old in S4? None of it adds up.
Love This Video So Much Well Done Alishea !!!! And I totally Agree With Season One Being The Best !!
Season 2
I don't think I have ever looked forward to a season of a telly show more than I did TNS season 2. As a show, s1 had just taken our household by storm from when we discovered it in the summer of 2014 on holiday in Holland. I'd even bought the DVD boxed set and watched the final episodes before they aired on the BBC and actually did a marathon watching every episode of s1 in a single viewing. Did so much reading up and couldn't wait for it.
And wow, it started with a fizz and a bang and a half and then some ! The Next Step plane was ascending higher and higher with potentially great writing and ideas which could have overhauled s1, Zoltan and his manservant notwithstanding. New or previously very minor characters {Beth, Hunter, Thalia, Phoebe, Noah, Richelle, some of the J-troupers} were phased in, old faves {like Chris, Tiffany and Stephanie} were phased out and the idea to freshen up the cast though disappointing from a fan fave point of view, was a good and quite gutsy one.....if it worked. There really are some great ideas and brilliant execution of scenes in parts of the season...............but they are comparatively few and far between after the scenes in which Daniel leaves.
I don't know what happened but the rest of the season after around episode 11 was like watching a plane struggling to maintain altitude then nosediving into a crash land situation. The great parts were suffocated and soaked up by the lame parts. And like an album that has 3 masterpieces on it but 7 clunkers, unfortunately, the clunkers are what the album will be remembered for. Either that or the album will be only thought of as an artifact with 3 great songs and listeners in denial.
There are so many mis-steps in season 2, where does one begin ? James' driving instructor ? The beginning of Riley's demise ? The "Emily outs the double agent" story line ? The virtual anonymity of Thalia ? The overwhelming underuse of Phoebe ? The speed with which Michelle leaves the studio ? The West/Giselle axis that just does not work ? The James tests ? The Hunter cake ? The flash mob ? West pretending to be a big star at Nationals ?
Gluuuurrrrp !
And talk about black holes, where was the conclusion of any of the J troupe mentoring ? Or Emily explaining to Hunter why she dumped him in the aftermath of Amanda leaving ? Come to think of it, why didn't she rekindle their "ossom" flame ?
It speaks volumes that Beth is probably the season's most consistent character. But I found it a very disappointing season and a big surprise was how poorly integrated the dancing overall was until Nationals.
S2 does end strongly, with intrigue and mystery, but the strength of the ending couldn't cover up much of what had previously been shown.
But there was worse to come.
I also don’t understand where west and Daniel went to after season 5
Her is my opinion didn’t include season 7 as it’s not finished
1:season 1
2:season 3
3:season 5
4:season 6
5:season 2
6:season 4
I don’t think Kate should have ever left
Gatcha Lily She teaches dance now irl
I like how everyone is just hating on S4 right now.
For season 5, i honestly don't understand why Michelle had a problem with Daniel and Emily. I mean, she was fine with Riley being in charge there is literally no difference as they were on good terms at the time.
Yes!!! I've been looking forward to this video for ages!!! I agree with most of your opinions (as usual) and here is my own ranking, from best to worst:
1 - Season 3. My favourite season! I love the dances in this season and how mature the dancers were. I loved the storylines, especially the Internationals episodes, and every episode had some significance, like you said. However, there are some things I don't like about this season, such as Max having literally no storyline, James leaving and then coming back, and some characters being a bit annoying.
2. Season 6. I loved this season! There were a lot of new things, like the prom, the convention, the escape room and Regionals being a lot different than just performing a group dance 5 times. I love everyone's outfits and I really enjoyed the characters. The relationships were great, except for Richelliot and Tamy (Amy and Ty). I'm a bit sad that Henry and Amy decided not to be a couple and Jacquie and Noah broke up, but that's it. Michelle and Emily's scenes were hilarious and the Nochelle episode makes me cry every time I watch it! Also the dances this season were very enjoyable.
3. Season 2. This season was great! I think the length was perfect and we had lots of funny scenes, like the one with Zoltan and Minnow and the one with Luther Brown. I enjoyed the storylines and Nationals was really cool! The bit about Emily hurting her knee was unexpected (in a good way) and I love the characters. However, I don't like how Michelle and Emily didn't audition for A-Troupe and also the Michelle-Hunter-Emily-Eldon quadrangle soap-opera got very irritating.
4. Season 1. This season was really good! I liked how the characters were younger and were doing pretty relatable teenage stuff. The Michelle and Emily rivalry was fun to watch but I was so happy when they became friends and then Emily hated her again in the last episode, so I feel like all the build-up was a waste of 30 episodes. I love Jiley and Regionals, and all the storylines were great. Some of my favourites were West and Seeds, Chloe and her money problems and James and his math, although it was a bit unrealistic that he didn't know the volume of a cube that's 2 by 2 by 2 and he's in, what, 10th grade? Also, the part where Emily made her dancers stay till past 12 was completely ridiculous and probably illegal. Some of the scenes were very cringy.
5. Season 5. This season was decent. It was a bit short but I enjoyed some of the characters and the TNS West and TNS East thing was mildly interesting, but I found it a bit stupid and boring sometimes. Also, I didn't like some of the characters like Josh, Daniel and Emily. Jacquie was a bit dramatic sometimes, but I think she's a great dancer and I like her outfits. Jacquie and Noah's relationship was also a bit unrealistic because of how quickly they got together and I feel like they fought a lot. I didn't like how they didn't go to a competition this season, but the Regionals video was amazing! Also, I felt very sad for Piper when Josh rejected her 😥
6. Season 7. I can't judge this season too much, because it's not even halfway through yet but I haven't enjoyed it too much. Episode 1, 2 and 5 were great, but the rest aren't that good and I don't enjoy rewatching this season. I feel like the characters I don't like or I'm getting sick of get lots of screen time (e.g. Summer, Cleo, Nick), and I'm not seeing the people I want to see enough. Also, I found Episode 7 very cringy and I hate that Finn and Amy are together now, but I'm interested to see where it goes. I just don't want Piper's heart to get broken! Also, I'm getting very sick of Summer and I thought it was a bit stupid that she and Henry broke up. I think they just needed to sort things out, but hey, maybe they just weren't meant to be. However, I loved the dances and Michelle's exit and Piper with her hair down 😍
7. Season 4. I'm sure you already knew this was coming, but I hate this season. It's fun to rewatch (which is why I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted it above Season 7 or not, please don't hate me) but I'm trying to rank these seasons on how good they are, not just my opinion. Some things I enjoyed are the OGs leaving (even though it's sad), James, Eldon and West, Michelle's growth and development (however she talked about herself so much that I got very bored of her) and the new characters. However, I have a lot of cons. Noah and Amanda's relationship was a bit cringy but they are a cute couple, Riley being studio head for whatever reason, Riley's outfits, Riley and Alfie's relationship, Alfie in general, the Zero Percent Club, the Regionals loss, the length of the season and some of the characters (Sloane, Latroy, Cassie, Alfie, Skylar and Riley).
If you read this all, then I just want to say thanks! I tend to go over the top when I'm saying my opinions about a TV show 😂 Anyway, I really enjoyed this video Alishea! Thanks for making my Sunday again! 💖💖
Personally, I'd rank it:
1. Season 2
2. Season 1
3. Season 6
4. Season 3
5. Season 4
6. Season 7
7. Season 5
Other than how some seasons switch places from time to time depending on how I feel , I currently agree with this placement. I think that all of the seasons had at least a few good moments and all had some sort of entertainment value. The reason 4 is not last is because I found all of the characters dance styles refreshing in that season refreshing and just found the cast change in general a nice touch. I could elaborate more on my rankings if anyone wants I just don't want to write a full on essay lol.
I would have thought that Margie was real in all scenes except the one where Chloe decides to leave or stay, where she is Chloes imagination and she is learning to make a choice without her, but all in all, Margie disappearing into glitter is REALLY UNREALISTIC!!!
GUYS SEASON 4 IS SO GOOD WHAT ARE Y'ALL SAYING 😂
Like I get a lot of the plots where unrealistic but for me it was the most entertaining 😂
(Riley as studio head was so bad but also so incredibly funny)
I know but it was bad writing, bad acting, cringey and unrealistic. I agree that it was full of drama but tns isn't just about drama.
I respect your opinion tho
No it’s so boring,once I was watching the next step so I skipped season 4 because it was so boring
I personally also liked parts of season 4 Riley being my favourite character (not that I am a fan of the whole Alfie storyline) I did in particular like seeing the more like you know serious and angry Riley when she finds out Salone used actual choreo in the freestyle round
In my opinion, season 3 was the last good season. It’s like they started to get bored season 4 onwards like making Alfie a Prince WHAT
S6 was actually pretty good. It sort of goes with s5 to make up one super long story so it was a bit disconcerting to have no drawn out scenes explaining the departures of Josh {who was becoming quite interesting}, Zara {who was just starting to come into her own} and Lola {which was potentially a great loss as she'd become a heavyweight character}. I've no idea if there was any off season stuff involving the sacking of Emily and Michelle so it was a bit daft seeing them together working in the juice bar. Their sacking was down to Emily's dishonesty with Michelle in a] not telling her what Daniel suspected about Richelle's snapping hips & b] not absolving her of any responsibility to Miss Kate {Michelle didn't even know !} so I'd have thought the last person Michelle would want to work with would be Emily and the last place she'd want to work would be in the same building she's just been fired in, seeing all the dancers a few times each day, bumping into Miss Kate !
I also thought the plot to get rid of Miss Angela was so far fetched and rather stretched credulity. I understand that it was necessary to bring back Emily & Michelle but it was poor execution and lacking in realism. The way that whole episode was handled summed up some of the worst aspects of TNS for me. I think there are creatively entertaining ways to bring about certain happenings in films/shows/plays but it feels like too much of the time directors and writers take the easy path that has apparent short term gains but in the long run poses more problems than it solves. Very little about the first season was actually unrealistic. Every subsequent season at times struggled with reality. Which is a problem both in drama and reality TV styled drama.
There were other flaws with the season but to be honest, there hasn't been a flawless one and when set alongside what was good about s6, the flaws are actually few and far between, even if they are big ones. Some of the newcomers like Summer, Kenzie, Davis, Ms Angela and Lily were welcome additions and I thought the story lines, for the most part, were incisive and brought up really good talking points, for example, was Ms Angela wrong in her "winners" approach ? Was Ozzy out of order to have deliberately flouted Kingston's privacy and read letters addressed to Kingston's mum ? Was Chloe right in her summation of Richelle's talents being overshadowed by her lack of emotion and connection as a dancer ? Was Elliot right to break up with Richelle ? Should Jacquie have helped Davis ? Should Piper have let her guard down with Finn when she clearly liked him and could see her liked her ? Should Emily & Kate have conspired to get rid of AcroNation under the pretext of them being a rival studio ? Should Michelle have gone along with it ? Should Eldon have made an issue about stealing choreo given that Emily and Michelle were his friends ? Should Amy have left TNS or just knuckled down to be a member of the team ? Should Amy and Henry have just talked to each other about their feelings ? Should Jacquie have felt that her worth to Noah was tied up in her status as a dancer ? Should the idea of a promposal be outlawed by the Canadian govt ?
Questions, questions !
I thought Noah was shown in an interesting light. He showed some real strength in the way he played being DC. He dealt with Jacquie as a team member not his girlfriend, he helped Piper and Ozzy with their weak areas, which, while not being the domain of only the DC, was good leading by example. But he lost it and succumbed to the pressure in the lead up to regionals which would be disturbing on any level and he gave away his captaincy to Lily in a way that put the team at risk which could have been devastating. And for the record, I thought that the decision to remove him from the team because of him reaching 18 was the right one although paradoxically it was also the right one to bring him back and work that much harder as the team would be in the higher age category. That didn't stop them imploding, though !
Up until the last few episodes of s4, Noah had always really irritated me and I wouldn't have cried if the show had junked him at that point but I have to say that the last few episodes of that season plus him in 5 & 6 {for the most part}, he won me over. His dancing was always good and never did a thing for me ~ it's as a character that he hit paydirt.
I disliked Ozzy even more throughout most of s6 but he started to put in a good shift as a character in the latter half and few things have given me as good a laugh as when he leapfrogged over Kingston when they were at war.
I've always been a fan of the Richelle character. She irritates the life out of me and I find her hateful in many ways and arrogantly soulless. That's why I like her; she has long provided that important _other side_ which gives the show balance and gets the emotions stirred up {she's that person you want to throw things through the screen at !} and I think she was pretty much at her best in seasons 5&6. She's actually one of the few characters that has put in a good shift on the show, season after season, even in the hard times when TNS was veering off the rails.
While it felt like some story lines were being recycled {we'd already had 2 instances of a dancer dancing for both teams in the same competition, for example}, truth is that you _do_ get the same kind of happenings cropping up repeatedly both with teens and with teams, so I didn't really have a problem with that. Many that have been teenagers or worked around them or had teenage kids will often catch that sense of deja vu~ it goes with the territory.
The twist in the tale at the end of regionals was a good one and all in all, s6 ranks as a good one for me. If I had to put the first six seasons in my order of preference it would go 1, 4, 6, 5, 2 and then 3. 1 is the clear winner, 4 comes in a highly rated 2nd. 6 and 5 in many ways are interchangeable but 6 edges it only just {though that could change at any given moment} because overall, its characters are slightly stronger {despite the high quality of Lola & Elliot} and Michelle manages the amazing feat of 6 strong and compelling seasons on the bounce as a character. 2 is the biggest disappointment for me but not the least ranked, 3 remains a poorly cooked omelette. I'd struggle to fill an hour long show with its truly legendary parts ~ although they are definitely there.
I think that Emily Michelle and Eldon had loads of screen time in season 1
ur order is completely fair and justified! mine changes all the time but currently it is:
1. season 2
2. season 1
3. season 3
4. season 6
5. season 5
6. season 4
7. season 7
8. season 8
I actually liked Heather in season 5, because besides being a great dancer, she had a proper storyline and it developed piper character a little bit more 💜
Yeah but it imitated too much Chloe's story..
Alishea: Take it easy.
