“Is Shad gonna disappear into glitter?”😂Great reaction. Looking forward to more of these. I agree with you about not being invested with the current A Troupe despite them being great dancers. That’s kinda why I wish B Troupe had remained intact as the new A Troupe just so we could get to know them more as individuals especially after Season 7. But I understand that the show has to work around the availability of the actors hence the challenge and switch up. Izzy and Daisy’s scenes were nice.
I feel like instead of the challenge they should have done what they did in season 3 but with a troupe and b troupe, so basically the dance battles but with everyone. Because now they changed so many people and like you said I'm not invested in them either. But this way we can learn more about B troupe while still seeing people from the old A troupe
So, I get what you're saying about how Michelle could've given everyone the choreo beforehand, but the way I look at it is how in school, students with learning disabilities are given extra time on tests, so getting the choreo in advance is similar to that sort of accommodation for Jude. Also, Grace's line about how she was dancing for all her friends had me in tears. (I'm still not over Maya not making A-troupe, she was the one I was most attached to.)
I felt Cleo was not out danced but I can see why they cut her for drama. For me, the minute she gave up her guaranteed spot to fight for it I knew she would be cut. For me it was so obvious.
I thought you were going to talk about how good it was that Xander made A-Troupe since it is great to see J troupers get into A-Troupe when they have been there for many seasons and always go to the auditions in the place of always having new characters.
True! But I would've liked more emphasis on that. A talking head from him would've been nicer to see than a talking head from a random newbie, you know?
Finally. I’ve been waiting for you to get some free time to watch and edit cause I’m itching for your reaction to the rest of the episodes. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the writing of the season so far has been so much better and also richelle is a bit nicer
I feel like Cleo has to learn to let things go sometimes. The challenge happened because she couldn’t let go of the fact that B-troupe didn’t “earn” their spot. But did they earn it last time? All they did was talk to Nick last season about going to nationals since A troupe couldn’t (and I think Cleo might have been the one to come up with that), and it was fine then? What’s the difference now that A troupe wants it back? A-troupe has always been about working hard and the WANT to compete. Original A-troupe lost that competitive drive the moment they all half-assed their audition meanwhile B-troupe gave their all. That alone solidified them earning their place, and I wish Cleo saw that. If she did, then she wouldn’t have taken herself out of a guaranteed spot on A-troupe to prove a point that didn’t need to be proven. She helped put together the idea of B-troupe going to nationals and helped lead them. She already proved herself as A-troupe material. Oh well. P.S. I think you forgot to add the link to the richozzy video you mentioned
I just realised that none of the B troupers won their battle in the first episode bc of their talent, like Izzy one bc Ozzy didn't give 100% and Jude one because Finn lost his shoe, and then Summer didn't even dance against Cleo. Some of them might have still won their battles but yeah. Also 100% relate to not feeling invested in the new A troupe, even now that I've finished the first half :/
ok but for some reason, I really like the general vibe the new a-troupe is giving off (trust me, I defo preferred b troupe over A in S7…but tbh I didn’t exactly ^love^ either troupes however this new a troupe is really giving me S6 vibes: new faces but I think I’ll grow to love them yk :))
wait I just thought of another thing, in season 7 B troupe had to re-audition or whatever since there was so many new dancers, but not they changed up almost the whole troupe again. How does that work? Because now they don't even have Summer either
since kenzie is dance captain and performed at regionals i’m guessing that would mean they qualify for nationals? although she’s not in the routines she’s still a part of the troupe so it could work idk
@@sagaciousengine3727 right I forgot about that, but that's a spoulrr tho for people who haven't seen it. But why wouldn't she be in the dances? I assumed she's both captain and a dancer
Giving some extra time to Jude since she's dyslexic is completely fair, not giving it wouldn't. I get what you're saying but if you learn more about the topic you'll notice that it is fair and puts everyone at the same level to show their potential.
My thoughts on ep4 - I actually really liked this episode! But I can understand why you didn't enjoy it as much, and I respect your opinions :) - Izzy & Daisy are so cute and I hope we see more of their friendship
Tbh I'm not sure abt the new a troupe. Like we hardly got to know season 7 b troupe and now there are even more new members. Plus there will still be storylines for the old a troupe so idk how we are gonna be able to connect to these characters and get to know them
Why is the pitch of the voices higher in the UK? Richelle sounds like she's on helium. Your voice isn't so noticeable. Thought your acting was fab, and I'm delighted your uploading videos again.
We broadcast in different formats I believe, and to show tns it has to be sped up slightly? I actually don't think it's as noticeable this season haha, everyone sounds pretty much the same as they do in real life 😂
no, so far only the first half of season 8 has been released, i think there’s 26 episodes over all (might be wrong) but what’s currently out is not everything :)
Hi Alishea, I thought you found the funny talking head descriptions like "Michelle: A big deal" kinda annoying except for bts. Do you still feel this way cuz I do. Just curious
Only when they're excessive or unnecessary. The 'big deal' one I liked because everyone knows who Michelle is, or SHOULD, so she needs no description, she just is a big deal
I would like to see more of your character in more episodes, because your character is Amazing , you need to ask if they can put you in more episodes then less episodes. I would like to see a great storyline of your character and coming into the next step and find out who the Mole is and spilling more on the next step is a great storyline. I do like Cleo and Jude storyline but I would like to see less of them not more
Is it just me or this whole mole thing giving huge Gossip Girl or who is 'A' from pretty little liars. Cause this whole plot device is dropping inside information about the team and Tiara Bling being the gossip girl exposing them. I don't know is that just me.
I've finished the next the week it came out so I won't spoil but it is really INTERESTING I was seriously guessing if you were in the nxt step when I saw the tea spilling I love way you THE LITTLE PARTS WHERE THEY SAY LIKE THE BIG DEAL PAST SEASONS WERE SAVAGE 🌺🩰🍉🍄🌹
Not sure if you saw the story I did on Instagram on the day all the episodes were put up on the BBC iPlayer I believe I did tag your IG but if you did see it hope you loved the reaction 🤣
@mokingariana3 You deserve better they just cut your face to face interactions with the other characters. You deserve better that they even cut the scene where you spy on Ozzy and Richeal. You deserve better girl.
I disagree actually, but thank you! I'm really happy with what I was given and how much TNS has done for me. They didn't cut any of my off season eps either!

Yea idk why she didn’t make it
Fr Maya should've made it
I felt Cleo was not out danced but I can see why they cut her for drama. For me, the minute she gave up her guaranteed spot to fight for it I knew she would be cut. For me it was so obvious.
It shouldn't have surprised me as much as it did, I should know how TNS plots work by now 😂😂
Sameee as soon as they mentioned Cleo making it without Jude I knew they’d flip it
@@mes10728 we know too well after all these years how TNS plots go. 😂
I agree
ASKSHDKSKSFJGH the idea of Shad disappearing into glitter like Margie has absolutely sent me
Izzy and Daisy's friendship was so cutee
Your reactions are so enjoyable to watch!
I thought you were going to talk about how good it was that Xander made A-Troupe since it is great to see J troupers get into A-Troupe when they have been there for many seasons and always go to the auditions in the place of always having new characters.

@@mockingariana3 wdym? Xander did have a talking head.
Ignore me then haha, I clearly just forgot 😅

I love your videos and they never get boring! Thankyou! It is really cool to see other people's views on series 8 and I agree with you on Cleo.

That's so true!! And good spot haha I will add it RIGHT NOW
PLEATHE can we discuss canon NB Izzy AND cleo n jude being COUPLEY frank van keeken really said LGBTQ+ rights and i am LIVING
I literally didn't notice Izzie saying their pronouns until I watched Alisha react to it, and now I'm super happy for the representation!
Yes NB Izzy is the best
so happy when i heard izzy say their pronouns!!!
You're really treating us well with these uploads😭😭
I just realised that none of the B troupers won their battle in the first episode bc of their talent, like Izzy one bc Ozzy didn't give 100% and Jude one because Finn lost his shoe, and then Summer didn't even dance against Cleo. Some of them might have still won their battles but yeah. Also 100% relate to not feeling invested in the new A troupe, even now that I've finished the first half :/
this season so far (I've watched the first part of the season) has been a emotional roller-coaster
ok but for some reason, I really like the general vibe the new a-troupe is giving off (trust me, I defo preferred b troupe over A in S7…but tbh I didn’t exactly ^love^ either troupes however this new a troupe is really giving me S6 vibes: new faces but I think I’ll grow to love them yk :))

Didn't think of that... maybe Gavin will have to come back and reassess
since kenzie is dance captain and performed at regionals i’m guessing that would mean they qualify for nationals? although she’s not in the routines she’s still a part of the troupe so it could work idk

My thoughts on ep4
- I actually really liked this episode! But I can understand why you didn't enjoy it as much, and I respect your opinions :)
- Izzy & Daisy are so cute and I hope we see more of their friendship
early!! So happy u posted
I cannot accept Winnie not making it
Love your channel! Yout the best.
Any news on when the second part of the season will air on cbbc?
I think it'll be around November time but that's just a theory
@@mockingariana3 Thank you 🙂
i know there not but i feel like the episodes are shorter
Sydney did very good in the audition
Unpopular opinion but I love Anthony 🤣 I hope he fits in well with the rest of A Troupe 😅
Daisy is my favourite character in the next step
Is tiara bling in part b of the season
I would love to See a seson 9 and ozzy and richelle on the New a troupe
Tbh I'm not sure abt the new a troupe. Like we hardly got to know season 7 b troupe and now there are even more new members. Plus there will still be storylines for the old a troupe so idk how we are gonna be able to connect to these characters and get to know them
What if Shad joined Lost and Found though?

@@mockingariana3 Well you would know having now meant them all IRL 🙂
Aleesha in her active era
I already know who the mole is because of tik tok spoiled it completely for me but still gunna watch the season and no spoilers
Sorry about that!! Thanks for not spoiling it for others though :)
@@mockingariana3 tik tok spoils alot of things warning to people who don't want it spoiled for them
Hey love the video. Random question but does the season 8 only have 14 episode?
no, so far only the first half of season 8 has been released, i think there’s 26 episodes over all (might be wrong) but what’s currently out is not everything :)

I really don't know how to feel about the auditions (based at least on what I see from your reactions). Also, the season 8 songs are good
good epsidoe
My gut says Anthony is the next Noah
I would like to see more of your character in more episodes, because your character is Amazing , you need to ask if they can put you in more episodes then less episodes.

I think my favorite thing this season is how everyone hated Summer so much at the end of last season they just kicked her out of the show
Not sure if you saw the story I did on Instagram on the day all the episodes were put up on the BBC iPlayer I believe I did tag your IG but if you did see it hope you loved the reaction 🤣
