What annoys me about the Richozzy plotline is it seems very fan service-y. Like they're only doing it to make the fans happy. Ozzy seems like he's gotten over his crush and he's chill with being friends, I don't think they needed to introduce Richelle having feelings for him.
That's exactly how I feel, I liked them just being mature and friends
Your hate for Richozzy really hurts my heart :( I just feel like their development was very natural and to me it felt very obvious that she'd started to develop feelings for Ozzy a while ago. Even in season 7, she cared the most about his opinion of her, and this season the way she looked at him ahhh. I feel like she started to like Shad, but they were quite superficial feelings, and she realised that these feelings had been brewing for Ozzy for a while
I feel the same way, I always felt like richelle liked ozzy even if she didn't realise it.
I personally love Richozzy, and I'm so happy with season 8. I find them adorable. I didn't ship them during season 7, because Ozzy's character was written poorly in it, but season 8 is far better.
OH MY GOD, THANK YOU!! You are the only other person i've seen, who thought Ozzy was badly written in season 7, his opinions changed all the time, and you never knew where he stood with his potential feelings for Richelle!
Yes some people like me ty I just feel if I could write season 7 then he would be written way better but still his character was not that bad
I'm trying to think from the perspective of the Nationals producers. Having a professional dancer perform for every team at Nationals would take up a lot of time during the competition. Having a qualifier beforehand reduces the number of dancers who actually perform at Nationals so the round goes by quicker... maybe that's the reasoning? I agree that having choreo for the qualifier doesn't make sense.
Only around 10 teams seemed to have professional dancers. I don't think it would've made any difference
“Don’t lie Kenzie”🤣 I’m glad I’m not the only who thought that Jude’s choreo was nothing special. It just looked very standard. Very surprised that Kenzie approved it. Watching Richelle slay the qualifier was my favourite part mainly because it felt nice to see her smile and enjoy herself while performing and owning Maria’s sabotage. It’s nice that Nick and Ben are still together too. I liked those interactions he had with Richelle. As for Richozzy, I’m still not a huge fan of them either. I much prefer them as friends as I felt that Ozzy would have grown out of that romantic phase with Richelle. It’s like he said, he used to hold her on a pedestal but then it turned into a real friendship which I think makes more sense. Obviously they’ve done a slow burn of this pairing but I feel like the romantic potential for Richozzy kinda fizzled out during Season 7 so now it just feels very awkward to see Richelle feeling the same way. Unpopular opinion I know😅
That is EXACTLY my thoughts on Richelle and Ozzy, thank you for wording it better than I could haha
Never expect something good to be recognized as it in TNS or something bad as something bad, it will just fit the plot according to what they want to happen, never bc of the dance itself and unfortunately season 8 has way too many problems with the choreos.
"IT'S NOT KENZIE'S OFFICE... STOP SAYING THAT" omg I'm dead😂
The song that plays during Richelle and Ozzy’s duet at the end has me on a chokehold. I absolutely love it. I’ve been replaying it ever since watching the episode. The chorus is so catchy. It’s been over a week and the Season 8B soundtrack still hasn’t come out yet which is surprising to me. I’ve been replaying the credits with that song so much. I want to hear the full version of these tracks so badly especially this one!
Keep your eyes peeled this weekend for it 😉
@@mockingariana3 Brilliant! That’s great news! Thanks for the heads up. :D
@@zdcosner3766 its out!!

When richelle said ‘do I like ozzy?’ I was like ‘no girl you like chad remember?!
Didn't take her long to move on 😂
Shad completely betrayed her lmao, now she obviously dislikes him more than she ever liked him.
Well I don't think she liked him though, bc before that, at the beginning of season 8 she was really closed to Ozzy, and she started looking him in a different way so yeah, I don't think she ever loved him
I find it funny how she said that Ozzy was just chatting with some girls while Richelle was super stressed but cut off the part of the reaction where that's explained and we get that Ozzy actually was doing that to help her.
Cause it was a jokeee
@@mockingariana3 ik, doesn't change what I said
I feel so alone as a Richozzy shipper lol. I get why people don't like it (because S7 Ozzy was awful) but I've been rooting for my boy Ozzy since S5 and I don't mind it because he has matured.
I Ship Them Too
Dw I also love them
It's weird to feel alone as a Richozzy shipers since they're a really popular couple in the fandom (just not in this show).
Everybody loves RICHOZZY. Just nobody on this comment section 🥺😭😂👏🏻
Same here don't worry
URGH. RICHOZZY. THAT DUET SONG. THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER 🥺😩😍
Im so sorry 😂😂
Based on that one bit from the trailer where Dylan runs off stage, I think that Margo might be a judge or a presenter (#bringbackchuckanderson) rather than a competitor because if she's already such an established performer, I don't think someone with that level of fame and success would really be allowed to compete at a competition like Nationals.
Also, LOL, not your SD filling up at the big Richozzy moment - maybe it's a sign...
The qualifier doesn't make sense to me... I mean A-Troupe is already qualified to go to nationals. And the pro division is also a set category. That means that the studios should be obligated to find a professional dancer, not absolute dance. A qualifier doesn't make sense because why would you want to exclude studios from participating in the pro division and preventing them from gaining the extra points? That just seems unfair to all the other teams at nationals that didn't qualify for pro division since they won't be able to gain the extra points...
EXACTLY
lowkey feel like the qualifier was just created for the sole purpose of introducing cassidy and nick but to give them the benefit of the doubt maybe it's like they're qualifying to even participate in the pro division for the extra 5 points? like teams who don't qualify don't get considered for the advantage? but even then that seems unfair if a team doesn't have a ~connection~ with a pro dancer
That's exactly my thoughts
"DONT LIE KENZIE" 'IN MY OPINON THEY WILL NOT WIN THAT CATEGORY WITH THAT DANCE" literally me when watching this episode no joke!
The choreo is a joke this season
Honestly the caliber of dances were high in season 1-3, better in season 4 , kinda went down a lil bit in season 5 and went back up in season 6 & 7 .
But season 8 dances aren't Nationals material
I hate the Richozzy plot, especially since we just had all these unresolved feelings for Shad and now she's jumping off into another guy?? But also Richelle has never done anything nice for Ozzy. Ozzy is constantly helping Richelle out and it's just such an unequal relationship. Whereas Richelle and Shad were equals and were working together.
As a side note, I'm a big Jett fan. I love her facials in her dancing and it really helps her stand out above the others
12:22 It was "Never Get Lost"
"Now You Got The Best is the one they did in Season 6 with Sloane and LaTroy
But now you got the best was also a small group at regionals
@@isaac.ik3 oh yeah true
Yeah I was referring to the s6 small group :)
@@mockingariana3 oop sorry
I think the qualifier is so you can have multiple dancers for one studio? That’s why Cassidy/Nick/Ben are all going on the qualifier so Elite has more chances to win… although they could have said that…
Also I hope Kenzies getting paid to do Nicks job!
I think it needs clarifying 😂 we all seem a little confused
I has the same reaction when I saw nick and Ben were still together 😂 I was also surprised that I remembered his name was Ben
had*
@@jrlombardi5251 oh my gosh, how did I not proofread??? thanks for telling me though :)
I don't see the point of the Pro Division either, because surely not every competing troupe for Nationals will have a former dancer that has gone pro? Remember they're all very young! And also, if Cleo didn't care that Jude took credit for the dance they choreographed then why did she feel the need to tell Kenzie? Don't get it...
Exactly, most pro dancers aren't connected to a studio anymore because they've gone pro lmao. I think Jude did that purely for her peace of mind but yeah if that's what she's calling herself a 'fraud' about in the trailer... I'm underwhelmed
i feel like they just added in the richelle and ozzy love plot just because so many people wanted them to get together but to me it just feels so forced now and i just don’t find them cute anymore. unpopular opinion but i prefer them as just friends.
Yeah that's exactly how I feel. It's been going on for too long and in s8 Ozzy finally wasn't wanting Richelle or being weird with her. Now that he's over her, it's been rehashed again 😭 so it just feels like a waste
I really like Richelle and Ozzy together I think as the season got to an end they it worked out good :)
@@mockingariana3 I can't watch the episodes, because it didn't arrive here in Brazil, so I can only follow the episodes through your channel, seeing your reactions, but when I was watching the trailer, I saw Chad, with an astonished face, as if he had seen something unbelievable. I think he comes back and catches Richelle and Ozzy kissing, but I'm not sure because I'm not watching the full episode.
coming from someone who NEVER liked richozzy from s5-7 (and never though she ever would), i really think you should give them more of a chance when watching the rest of the season. they have both grown and changed into different people than they were in previous seasons. it seems like you're always bringing up their past actions, when instead they've both matured and grown as characters, which is evident through their actions and responses to situations. personally, to me the best relationships are always rooted in friendship, so thats why i liked the slowburn timing of them forming a genuine friendship, to now richelle realising there is something more there. you can tell that the timing is right for them right now because its not forced and they're both more evolved and developed characters.
but anyways, i never thought i would like them either, but this season totally changed my mind so keep an open approach! also keep up the amazing reactions videos, it truly makes my day when i see you uploaded one!
That's actually why I don't care for it haha, I'm bored of it now, in 8a it fizzled into a nice friendship and I can't be bothered for it now
...Studios would only receive the rulebook and guidelines once they qualify, right? So why is a dance competition (strictly for amateur dancers, hence why old A-Troupe were disqualified) even looking at professional dancers as any kind of achievement metric?
Wait now I'm confused. If Cassidy already qualified for Ultra Elite in the Pro Division then why were Nick and his partner at the qualifier? Hmm... In my opinion Cassidy is Elite's best dancer anyway, you'll see why later on!
Someone else flagged that too, that maybe Ultra Elite have multiple professionals competing to give them more chance of winning the 5 points? Unless Nick isn't competing for Ultra Elite? I really don't know 😭😭
Ya even i was wondering the same thing. 🤔
I liked Richozzy in season 5+6, but in season 7 I feel like Ozzy stopped liking Richelle that way and they just became really great friends. I do like the way they were written this season tho, because Richelle always took Ozzy for granted and didn't realize she liked him back until he already moved on. Even tho they were cute this season I'd still rather Ozzy and Winnie
Can’t wait till next video
i think margot is going to be a judge at nationals, and then see dylan dancing and they will bond and reunite cos of how hard dylan worked to get there
Richelles whole development seems unnatural. It really should’ve been some thing building since season 5 because I truly thought she Would have learned to not think about herself after what happened with Lola. I Still love richelle but richozzy truly for me was building as a friendship and though tns may have tried, it clearly didn’t go according to plan because it became more a friendship to me than a ship. I started to ship them this season but it’s just so unnatural for Rochelle to start out of nowhere having these feelings. They should’ve given us more relationship signs throughout the seasons than friendship. Yes, richelle developed off screen but it’s more natural when the development happens on screen.,
I get your point but I think she already liked him though since the end of S7 and especially the beginning of S8... And I think now, with everyone lefts, she does realise that
I agree that Richozzy shouldn't really have been as much of a plot as it just feels rushed now
16:27 I cant breatheee this part is so funny💀
WHERE DID THE PIZZA GO? I am dead 😂
When I was watching the episode and richelle pulled it off I was like Alishea will not like this lol
Anyone notice Pyro wearing a radiation jacket same team Finn is on ????
I love this TV show
What if Richelle qualified then before the dance choreo was sent out maria had her somehow removed from the list meaning the video would have never got sent to her
Good point!
If the professional dancer doesn't make it through the qualifiers, yeah, their team will go to nationals anyway but they will not have someone to win the pro-division giving them those extra five points, that's why it matters to make it through, it's not like if they don't do it their team won't go.
I get that, it just seems unnecessary and confusing to me
that's funny, I was just watching a video of yours, then this popped up
i want the soundtrack SO BAD
I was thinking throughout the episode that she hadn't mentioned Cleo helped her, just letting you know :)
I really hate the dances in the season 8b of this season my favourite ones in 8b was heath and daisy duet + Richelle pro solo
Nick's cameo is a bit weird. He's not the professional dancer for ultra elite (he just mentioned that elite had changed names - didn't infer he was on it) so I just assume he's dancing for another team
Oh damn yeah, cause of Cass/Cassy/Cassidy!! Well now I'm confused... surely it would've been a good opportunity for Nick to be the pro...
@@mockingariana3 I just don't understand why AcroNation will participate in Nationals if they missed Regionals?
Did u notice richelle and ozzy were doing the same lift as the romeo and juliet poster in the background?
I don't think 90 is high for a qualifier, it's almost the same you needed to make it in WOD's qualifiers that is a thing from real life and not a fictional show as this.
I dont like how ben was forgot about by richelle because they were both on b troupe together
Is it just me that didn't remember nick at all 🤣 the whole time I was like....kayyy
Nick was the guy from Elite
The one spun Miss Kate in the the air in that dance in season 3
I only remember him because he appeared on Guess the Reference.
You're welcome 😉
@@channeloft foi na 4ª temporada que ele girou a Kate. Na 3ª ele competiu se não me engano com a Tália ou a Chloe, não estou lembrada
Cannot wait for you to watch 18
Hey guys! Maybe it was just me who noticed but in that little richozzy moment, there was a poster of Romeo and Juliet… 😮let me know if anyone else noticed ❤
Ozchelle shippers
👇🏽
hi i luv ur channel
Richelle needs to qualify as she is not registered for nationals because the new a troupe is
Then they just need to sign her up and validate her as a professional, it still doesn't explain why this shoddy qualifier needs doing
Well it could have been during the year break
Make your reaction to episode 18 plzzzz
Is it me or is Maria and Cassidy mum and daughter ?//
Ochelle is better ship nameee
If you have nothing nice to say about ozzy don't say anything at all
He's a fictional characterrrr
@Mockingariana fr
good video
Make your reaction to episode 18 plzzzz
