i agree but i feel like 1-3 was 1 show 4-7 was like a spin off wiv characters like riley and james being still main in s4 but s5-7 coming back once in a while
Seasons 1-3 were prime, Season 4 would have probably been good but they went down the Glee path and didn't put enough focus on either the old members or the new members. Season 5 was a great reset, and having the OG members in teaching positions was really really nice, as it focused on Emily and Michelle's maturing workplace relationship and focused on the newbies.
britt's analysis of the character's actions and inner thoughts are crazy accurate yet i would never realize that about any of them lol, if someone were to write a tns book she'd definitely need to write the sparknotes analysis page of it
I actually 100% agree with he whole inner character thoughts part , especially about Michelle because I didn't actually see her as that innocent in the series ahahaha she definitely hat that manipulative nature about her.
I can genuinely say, as a child, after I realised TNS wasn’t a reality show, I was so convinced that Brit was the most experienced actor. (I say this because I’m still so surprised that you had next to no experience!!) The choices or natural direction she took Riley in felt so cozy and correct. And I can say confidently, she was one of the main reasons I was so intrigued, when it aired for the first time in the UK, and why I’m still here, loving it to this day. And seeing the progression in your acting was such an honour to watch Brit!! It was tricky trying to see progress in dancing, because they would (in pretty sure) hide talents and/or skills so it could be used in a story line, but I used to literally have daydreams about your pointe solo with: when the war is over. And I’m not even a dancer. I know you don’t appreciate yourself the way you KNOW you deserve Brit, but I wanna let you know: you make a lot of people happy. Thank you.
I think part of why I loved Riley so much (especially in the beginning) was cause I thought she reminded me a lot of Hermione Granger lmao. Like goody two-shoes who fights for what's right - or what she thinks is the right thing - and will do anything for the cause which is admirable but also severely flawed and I LOVE that. (also helps that Brit lowkey looks like Emma watson)
The VALIDATION I feel that we are now acknowledging how manipulative Michelle is and the way people bend for her over the course of the show is making 11 year old me very happy lol. Like during season 1 everyone saw a really sweet girl ( which I get) but she also took Emily’s dance captaincy ( by conspiring with her sister) ,then straight up told Emily she was a back row dancer ( ouch very Emily like thing to say Michelle…..), then asked her to be co dance captain ( like um you just turned the whole studio against her to be dance captain… y’all could’ve just talked in the first place?) , then took her boyfriend which was confirmed minutes before their final regionals dance ( thanks eldon) which opens with a romantic Michelle and eldon duet , then had the nerve to ask her “are we cool” UM NO! In Emily’s mind this random girl literally walked off the street, disrupted the order of how a troupe is formed ( in season 1 I think they established that you come up from b- troupe to get to a), and essentially took over her life in what seems like the span of a month lmao. Did it justify Emily being mean to everyone uh hell no, but Michelle had her faults as well. Ok rant over lol
Honestly, Jiley of season 1 was so cute. However, in my opinion, there's times where it seems that James is more invested in the relationship than Riley ( in season 3 and 4 ). I think it would definitely be interesting to see how you react to season 4 and to get your pov on adult Riley/Jiley :)
Britt your acting in season one was phenomenal. At the time, me and my brother thoroughly loved watching you grow as a dancer. By season three, you were excellent x
Maturing is realizing, Emily wasn't the mean girl. Michelle was. Michelle was just as toxic. Emily's words may have been toxic but her actions weren't. Michelle actions where toxic. If you don't agree this just remember "actions speak louder than words".
On the peach grape juice thing, the restaraunt could have used white grape juice. It's not as common as purple grape juice but it's a thing and it would likely go better with peach. I was just guessing on that but I just looked it up, and yeah, when people make peach grape juice, they always use white grape and the overall color comes out to be orange.
Oh yeah. She defo is. They are very similar. I found Michelle a big sickly sweet honestly. Like she is also a mean girl in a way- she is more attuned with the group and does stuff to preserve that- like fighting against Emily because it’s best for the team. Where as Emily is more a self preservation type of mean girl. Michelle can be super manipulative and like the whole thing with Emily and Eldon and then her in season 4 at Regionals, when she approaches Chloe and is like “I kept your secret” ect. Yes If you know anything about mbti I type Emily as an ESTJ where as Michelle is an ENFJ.
I love what you said about “ their true inner characters come out when they have to make a choice under pressure “. Can be conveyed into real life right
THANK YOU so much for pointing the Michelle inner character out. Time to rant: I personally loved Emily way more than Michelle once it hit the 2nd half of season 1, and forward.. Mostly because Michelle (probably unintentionally) kept wanting everything that was Emily's. I understand the captaincy was what was for the best.. But the fact she was trying to pursue Eldon by making a duet w him while saying in talking heads, "maybe this will make him like me, like how I like him" EVEN THOUGH she knows full well he's dating Emily. Its just all kinda f*cked up. Same with Hunter in season 2. She didn't want him back TILL she saw Emily getting close with him. And gets mad at Emily for kissing Hunter and 'not respecting her past relationship'... Even tho Michelle did WAY worse with stealing Eldon. Emily didn't try to steal anyone who was dating someone already. She developed feelings for a guy who was single and she had no reason to let Michelle's past in another city, be an affecting factor her pursuing Hunter. Especially since Michelle did much worse intentionally. *its also the reason i hate summer and love richelle. Its literally just michelle all over again* Anyways rant over. Sorry for that lol.
"I need a moment for this" JAJJAAJJAJAJA F Eldon 🥺 I feel the same of Brittany in that moment. I love TNS I'm from Ecuador and I saw this serie for many years. I love you Riley. I'm a dancer and tns change my Whole life. Pdt: I want to see you react to season 4 when Riley betrayed James with Alfie 🤓
I just realized how interesting Michelle is as a character, you blew my mind. pls do more analysis-like of characters in the show your pov is so interesting
I love the way she talks about her acting and the ways she could have improved. Shows so much about a person because you know they have come a long way in their career and learned so much. Always love watching ❤️
Hearing Britt's character analysis is amazing! I was surprised at how manipulative Michelle was in season 4 but now I'm realising the signs we already there!!! Ily Britt
Your reaction videos are always so much fun! It's really exciting to go down memory lane with you, the actress, as a viewer of TNS when it first aired. I still can't believe that this was your first acting job and that most of season 01 was improv. It felt like everything that happened/was said was intentional. I'm really proud of all you've done!
On the subject of an adult taking Eldon aside - I always wished that had happened earlier. Like, some people just don't pick up on social cues, and that's fine! But you would have thought that after he'd asked her out every day for, say, two weeks, a teacher might have pulled him aside and explained what he wasn't picking up. Y'know, long before this incident. Oh, and I was totally holding out for Eldon + James to get together back in the day.
Watching this is so fascinating because when I watched TNS I was a preteen and didn’t think about the artistic and technical side of things. So interesting to hear how Brit would play Riley differently in scenes now! Also didn’t realise how much artistic control the kids got which is interesting!
Didn't realise how one person's opinion can set people off- like she's just saying she doesn't like Jiley and it sets off half the fantom. It's just her opinion and she's human just like us and her opinion is valid just like all of ares. And I'm proud of britt for still sticking with what she thinks :) love u britt❤
Yeahh Jiley wasn't meant to be. Also I totally agree with the inner character thing, especially Michelle because as you said,, in the show she is supposed to be taken as this sweet, innocent girl, but her choices show who she truly is even if she doesn't know it.
I agree with the adult voice. Like so much of the first season was about almost conforming to a group or like internal conflict of a team. And like with Eldon we got that dorky rep- and I guess west was the “weird one” except he was a funny weird. But like there wasn’t really anything that said that it’s ok to be different to kids or even an adult to really be a mediator. The thing about like dance and school and any kind of group of Teenagers is human nature takes over except it’s fuelled by hormones- and you’ve got this group who work out their own hierarchy. Like in the show you have the e-girls at the top almost. The idea of giving that much power to one teenager- just seems dangerous to me as someone who is 16, and like it’s just not a good idea. Like teenagers will already make their own hierarchy and people like Emily are normally at the top- like they don’t need dance captain as well. Also Michelle’s character like she is also a “mean girl” in a way. It’s like Janice vs Regina from mean girls. Like Janice is also a mean girl yet framed as a the heroine or victim. Michelle is just as bad as Emily in many different ways, I feel like so much of Emily is insecurity. Michelle is a follow the crowd type person- or is more attuned to the group and what the group wants even if it means going against an individual.
This video premieres at 2 am in Australia 🇦🇺. 2 things I asked myself when I first saw this…….. 1. Did I set an alarm for it, yes. 2. Are my parents gonna be mad at me for waking up so early to just watch a UA-cam video, most likely yes. BUT……………..does it bother me, hell no 💜😂💜
What you said about Michelle definitely shows especially in s4 when she has that whole rebellious streak after her parents divorce. She really manipulated and backstabbed pipa all to ‘teach’ her a lesson. Lol the more you know 😂
8:25 when I was a kid I found this moment so cool. I thought it was a way of Riley stepping up to her sister plus Riley was my inspiration when younger, honestly I wanted to be her
Heyy Brittt!!! Soooo I think its kinda necessary that in a competitive environment, being peers you guys take the charge depending on your own instincts of loss and accomplishment! To see most of it being trashed or jeopardized because of emily's ego and mean behavior when you have a better option to stand against it...of course the whole "going behind emily's back" makes complete sense! The storytelling for first three seasons is totally relatable, those are my favorite seasons of TNS of all time!
i love her!!! she's my favourite character out of all the next step characters! i just love your personality brittany and very much reminds of riley lol! cant wait to see more videos!!!
I actually agree about Jiley bc they always had a problem, in season 2 James cheated, season 3 there was that whole problem with Ella and I don’t even know, and then season 4 Riley cheated. Like they were never happy. Yes they always get back together in the end but 99% of the seasons they’re fighting/have a problem
I love how you explain everything that happens or happened at that time of filming and stuff I really like it that’s one of the reasons why I follow you
as a child, michelle was one of my favourites. as im recently rewatching the series, michelle is moving down on my list of faves because i am older and noticing michelle’s actions and hypocrisy. she has always had this kinda oblivious look to her, throughout the entire series itself. it especially shows in s1 and s5. but behind it all, she’s a real hypocrite and emily was kinda right about her. thank god vic is not the same as her tbh.
I honestly did not think you could make these videos any funnier but you blow me out of the water yet again!! I Love your videos and love the way this one turned out!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I guess you could see characters the way you want to see them. Riley manipulates James and tries to make him into the boy she wants, is the worst studio head, and bails on her Internationals routine because her feelings were "hurt". And wasn't she the one that convinced Michelle to start the secret routine?
Britt looks so beautiful!! Also loved her analysis on Michelle’s underlying ruthlessness and bitchiness. Never saw it like that before, obviously because I only watched Michelle when I was like 10 and probably wasn’t supposed to notice it😂
The stuff Brit was saying about James and West being rude just made me giggle because today I know heaps of guys (teenagers) talk to each other like that 😂
I know right? I thought the same thing lol. That’s part of why I think so many people thought this was a reality show. The lack of set dialogue and the fact that so much of it was improv made it feel very natural. It was basically just a bunch of teenagers bantering about a specific prompt. This scene here is a perfect example of that because the boys are acting their age and doing it in such a normal way that resembles real life. That is very hard to do when the scene is written by a middle aged man, so I love the unscriptedness of the whole thing. The interactions were more realistic that way.
@@Rha_C Yea my thoughts exactly! Although in some cases the scenes may have been slow and repetitive it always had a unique charm that made you feel like you were watching conversations between real people. After all the show was for kids and I think the way it was filmed and scripted made it easily understandable. Although in a way I do think it was great how the show kind of grew with its audience.
Omg, I love your opinion on Michelle I always thought I over analyzed her cuz I didn’t like her but what you said is exactly why I never liked her Same with the boys. I adore them but they can be real assholes. And I don’t like how ppl idolize certain characters and antagonize another ones when they’re more profound than just “good” and “bad”
Can't believe your video came up on my suggested videos! I loved watching The Next Step on CBBC after school. It even inspired me to join a hip hop group after school (though I wasn't very good at it😅) Riley was my favourite character and it was my favourite girl name for a while too. Thankyou for making my childhood so fun and for the nostalgia. Glad to see you're keeping well 💕💕
Britt, I love your videos, they make my day! I do agree that if you are looking at Riley and James objectively that it seems like they don't have much in common and wouldn't be compatible. But I believe they have what is called the "X-factor", which is something that keeps a couple together despite their differences. Perhaps their X-factor is dance, perhaps it is something else, but that is what keeps them together and makes their relationship work and what keeps it interesting for the viewers. I think that their relationship is a little underdeveloped in season 1, but I think as time goes on, you see them grow together and their relationship gets better:)
Hello hi I’m late to discovering that the actors had to improv, also I’m absolutely love this, I used to watch TNS when I was younger and now seeing britt doing an analysis of her character and the others from an adults point of view, and understanding and seeing the dynamics for how they are compared to when I was younger, this is class, we’re all growing up lol
Even though I was a bit shocked when you said you don’t see the whole jiley thing (even tho in a cameo you told me you think they are the best couple) I love watching your videos regardless. Watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I don't think that Michelle only likes Eldon because she saw him with Emily. Didn't she show that she likes him before? Emily only started liking him after he finally seemed a bit uninterested.
does anyone else think that seasons 1-3 was one show 4-5 was another show and 6-7 was a separate show
i agree but i feel like 1-3 was 1 show 4-7 was like a spin off wiv characters like riley and james being still main in s4 but s5-7 coming back once in a while
YES, except make s4 its own thing entirely lol
Agree. The first 3 are my fave
Seasons 1-3 were prime, Season 4 would have probably been good but they went down the Glee path and didn't put enough focus on either the old members or the new members. Season 5 was a great reset, and having the OG members in teaching positions was really really nice, as it focused on Emily and Michelle's maturing workplace relationship and focused on the newbies.

I can genuinely say, as a child, after I realised TNS wasn’t a reality show, I was so convinced that Brit was the most experienced actor. (I say this because I’m still so surprised that you had next to no experience!!) The choices or natural direction she took Riley in felt so cozy and correct. And I can say confidently, she was one of the main reasons I was so intrigued, when it aired for the first time in the UK, and why I’m still here, loving it to this day.

Also, apologies for saying “Brit” instead of “Britt” , hope you’re having a lovely weekend!!
Molly, this is so kind. Thank you so much!
My goodness me too. Also from the UK. This was half my childhood.
Same from uk
Also, apologise for saying Brit instead of saying Britt hope you’re having a nice weekend 🌟
remember in s2 when emily was like “If michelle sees you dating me she’s gonna want you back ‘cause she wants everything i have”
IT WAS TRUE THO. EMILY SPEAKS FACTS
and it was SO true,
in terms of Jiley, I actually thought James matured a lot over the seasons... wasn't as much of a goof ball... but dont get me started on season 4 LOL
Ikr
I think part of why I loved Riley so much (especially in the beginning) was cause I thought she reminded me a lot of Hermione Granger lmao. Like goody two-shoes who fights for what's right - or what she thinks is the right thing - and will do anything for the cause which is admirable but also severely flawed and I LOVE that.

*Michelle and Eldon talking*
Britt: *trying to figure out why the peach grape is orange* 😂😂
I love the mini rant about the colour of Eldon's drink! Peach Grape! 😂
Is White Grape juice a thing?
Ngl I actually liked the way Riley was speaking to Emily it just showed how smart and confident she was
On the peach grape juice thing, the restaraunt could have used white grape juice. It's not as common as purple grape juice but it's a thing and it would likely go better with peach. I was just guessing on that but I just looked it up, and yeah, when people make peach grape juice, they always use white grape and the overall color comes out to be orange.
Michelle is like the better version of summer. and I think that we can stomach her better because of the way Emily treated her in season 1.
Oh yeah. She defo is. They are very similar. I found Michelle a big sickly sweet honestly. Like she is also a mean girl in a way- she is more attuned with the group and does stuff to preserve that- like fighting against Emily because it’s best for the team.

She's gonna be the next PewDiePie I swear.
Her content creation skills are amazing!
You know you could say that in the chat
I love what you said about “ their true inner characters come out when they have to make a choice under pressure “. Can be conveyed into real life right

Omg she liked the comment aaaa

Britt : I don't really remember anything from the last episode.
Also Britt : Recaps the entire episode without missing a detail.
why is nobody talking about how tiffany was low-key portrayed as the stereotypical black girl who likes gossip and being loud

Can't wait :)
Good luck! Congrats
congratulations!
Brit you were a huge part of my childhood!
same
same :) i grew up with her
This video premieres at 2 am in Australia 🇦🇺. 2 things I asked myself when I first saw this……..
1. Did I set an alarm for it, yes.
2. Are my parents gonna be mad at me for waking up so early to just watch a UA-cam video, most likely yes.
BUT……………..does it bother me, hell no 💜😂💜
Thank you for the support! It really means a lot
Glad I’m not the only one 😂
What you said about Michelle definitely shows especially in s4 when she has that whole rebellious streak after her parents divorce. She really manipulated and backstabbed pipa all to ‘teach’ her a lesson. Lol the more you know 😂
Brit is really analysing everything here - even the colour of the juice lmao
Brittany you are so pretty and open minded I love you for that ty for being a huge part of my life ❤️
Thank you for the support :)

You were and are an inspiration to so many people xx

I honestly did not think you could make these videos any funnier but you blow me out of the water yet again!! I Love your videos and love the way this one turned out!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed :)
Britt thank you for a fantastic finish of my october break you're awesome
thanks for a heart
BRITTANY, I'M SO EXCITED AND HYPED FOR YOUR VIDEO, YOU'RE AN AWESOME RILEY YEAHHHH!
Riley is my comfort character and jiley are my comfort ship please 😩
I guess you could see characters the way you want to see them. Riley manipulates James and tries to make him into the boy she wants, is the worst studio head, and bails on her Internationals routine because her feelings were "hurt". And wasn't she the one that convinced Michelle to start the secret routine?
britt, when you see more episodes you will understand that jiley is life believe me, ly but pls dont say that it hurts
Britt looks so beautiful!!
Also loved her analysis on Michelle’s underlying ruthlessness and bitchiness. Never saw it like that before, obviously because I only watched Michelle when I was like 10 and probably wasn’t supposed to notice it😂
omg your hair looks so cute and it kinda reminds of rileys hair in season 2
okay but what you said about Michelle being manipulative is what I’ve been saying this entire time so thank you for confirming that for me haha
I love how she explains everything
The stuff Brit was saying about James and West being rude just made me giggle because today I know heaps of guys (teenagers) talk to each other like that 😂
I know right? I thought the same thing lol. That’s part of why I think so many people thought this was a reality show. The lack of set dialogue and the fact that so much of it was improv made it feel very natural. It was basically just a bunch of teenagers bantering about a specific prompt. This scene here is a perfect example of that because the boys are acting their age and doing it in such a normal way that resembles real life. That is very hard to do when the scene is written by a middle aged man, so I love the unscriptedness of the whole thing. The interactions were more realistic that way.
@@Rha_C Yea my thoughts exactly! Although in some cases the scenes may have been slow and repetitive it always had a unique charm that made you feel like you were watching conversations between real people. After all the show was for kids and I think the way it was filmed and scripted made it easily understandable. Although in a way I do think it was great how the show kind of grew with its audience.
the editing gets better every time ahhhh!
I've probably requested this many times, but you should do a virtual chat with Renee Romolo! She plays Izzy in season 7.
no because YOUR HAIR BRITT, YOUR HAIR. I LOVE IT. also, ofc, cool vibey video, as always. love you.
Omg, I love your opinion on Michelle
I always thought I over analyzed her cuz I didn’t like her but what you said is exactly why I never liked her
Same with the boys. I adore them but they can be real assholes. And I don’t like how ppl idolize certain characters and antagonize another ones when they’re more profound than just “good” and “bad”
omg Addicted 2 U was one of my favourite dances of season 1!!!💜
1:35 I’m not an expert on juice but grapes can be light green too lol
I think white grape juice exists. So wouldn't that be why its orange?
@@julia_145 ohhh yeah that would make more sense probably lol
mum: "how many times have you watched this?"
me: "yes"
I realised Michelle was manipulative the first time I watched the series but I still loved her character. 😭✋🏻
petition to bring the reactions back
i love these videos so much they give me daily serotonin
I always thought of Michelle as a little manipulative glad you agree.
The haircut looks good on you! TNS helped me inprove my english skills and Riley was my favorite character :)
Can't believe your video came up on my suggested videos! I loved watching The Next Step on CBBC after school. It even inspired me to join a hip hop group after school (though I wasn't very good at it😅) Riley was my favourite character and it was my favourite girl name for a while too. Thankyou for making my childhood so fun and for the nostalgia. Glad to see you're keeping well 💕💕
Britt, I love your videos, they make my day!
I do agree that if you are looking at Riley and James objectively that it seems like they don't have much in common and wouldn't be compatible. But I believe they have what is called the "X-factor", which is something that keeps a couple together despite their differences. Perhaps their X-factor is dance, perhaps it is something else, but that is what keeps them together and makes their relationship work and what keeps it interesting for the viewers.
I think that their relationship is a little underdeveloped in season 1, but I think as time goes on, you see them grow together and their relationship gets better:)
Very good point!
Brittany just focusing on how the juice looked orange even though it had grape omg 😂
I love your commentary on the episodes it’s so cool how you explain everything I really enjoy these videos thanks for making them 😁
Ur sooo right and its just so nice to see all the next step ogs alll grown up i guess?????? I just miss the ogs so much now that Emily is gone too
Peach Grape Juice: Green grapes with Peach and then the brighter tone is because the colour of the glass, but in clear glass it's a bit darker 🤗
Fun fact: in my city (around 90k people) i'm the only one who watched all seasons of tns
You too?
Yay! I'm dying of flu so this is really going to cheer me up! 🤧🤧🤧
"I need you like cAnDaYyy" 🤣🤣lmao Brittany!
OMG TYSM BRITT FOR PUTTING ME IN THE VID (i was not hatting btw) i love your vids and im a HUGEEE tns fan xx
Hello hi I’m late to discovering that the actors had to improv, also I’m absolutely love this, I used to watch TNS when I was younger and now seeing britt doing an analysis of her character and the others from an adults point of view, and understanding and seeing the dynamics for how they are compared to when I was younger, this is class, we’re all growing up lol
BRITT'S LAUGH AT 8:46 IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD IM LITERALLY DYING
YOUR NEW HAIR OMGGG YOU LOOK MAGICAL!!
BRITTANY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HYPED I AM FOR YOUR NEXT VIDEO, I LOVED THIS ONE, NO, I LOVED ALL OF YOUR REACTION VIDEOS!
Even though I was a bit shocked when you said you don’t see the whole jiley thing (even tho in a cameo you told me you think they are the best couple) I love watching your videos regardless. Watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿
omg those transitions were so smooth
I love how she be like ‘ this T-shirt looks like it has stains 😩’
I be like.... gurl I like ur T-shirt because ur wearing it ^~^
the second hand embarrassment came in a wave when I realised this was the grand gesture episode and everyone was laughing like damn this poor boy
Love the mini peach grape rant 😂👌
i never realised how different the show would be if they had scripts in season 1-
I don't think that Michelle only likes Eldon because she saw him with Emily. Didn't she show that she likes him before?
Emily only started liking him after he finally seemed a bit uninterested.
The next step was my WHOLE CHILDHOOD
Britt is so unintentionally funny I love it
