00:06Daytona!
00:07Daytona!
00:09Daytona!
00:10Daytona!
00:10Daytona!
00:11Daytona!
00:11Look how happy they all are.
00:13It's cause I haven't broken their hearts yet.
00:15Only 16 can make mat
00:17at Daytona. That means compete.
00:19So one of them will not get to perform
00:21and they will just go as an alternate.
00:23Daytona!
00:25So like any good family dinner, this one will come
00:27with a side of trauma. But
00:29like my meemaw said,
00:31the best way to remove a bandaid
00:33is just rip it right off.
00:35Okay, okay.
00:37Alright y'all.
00:39I would like a few words.
00:41I'll go first.
00:42Even though this isn't the best team I've been on,
00:45it is the worst.
00:47It also feels the most like family.
00:49I love all of you.
00:51Even the ones I don't know yet.
00:53Right Mark?
00:54Seriously? I've been here since the beginning.
00:57Like before you in fact.
00:58Mark, let someone else talk.
01:00I actually have something.
01:01Actually I'd like to say a few words if you don't mind.
01:04I wrote it down just so I don't get emotional.
01:07Sally.
01:08Oh yes.
01:09You are the best thing
01:12that's happened.
01:15Nope. Nope.
01:16So what I would like to say.
01:19I just wanted to say that
01:21but you guys are not my biggest family.
01:23By far.
01:23But you are my biggest family
01:25that hasn't been on Dateline.
01:27Aww.
01:28When I say Courtney,
01:31you say what Courtney?
01:33What?
01:34Daytona!
01:35You did it!
01:36Daytona!
01:38Daytona!
01:50Daytona!
01:52I can't put it off any longer.
01:54I need to pick my team.
01:56Am I looking forward to it?
01:57No.
01:57I never am.
01:59Especially not with the team I've gotten incredibly close to.
02:02But Daytona is about winning.
02:04So I'd actually be doing them a disservice
02:06if I didn't put my best possible team on that map.
02:09That's why I got a lead with my head over my heart.
02:11Take a motion out of it.
02:12And they are athletes,
02:13so I know they're gonna understand.
02:16I don't understand.
02:17You told us that we were all making maps.
02:19You told us you never lie to us
02:20unless you were lying about that.
02:22Yeah.
02:22When I said it, it was true.
02:24Okay, but since then we have picked up more cheerleaders.
02:26Okay, but coach, I'm just spitballing here,
02:28but maybe one of the new cheerleaders shouldn't make the cut?
02:30Yeah, there's no way I'm giving up my spot to Jackass and the Boss.
02:33Oh my God, rude.
02:34We are one team.
02:36Who will be competing against each other as individuals.
02:40As a team.
02:44Ouch.
02:46Good morning.
02:46Welcome to day one of map tryouts.
02:48I will be judging on a point system.
02:50My first time around, I didn't make map.
02:52And now I'm 16 years older.
02:54Let's face it,
02:54there's not a lot of 40-somethings in college cheer,
02:56so I probably have about seven, maybe eight years left
02:59before things start to get sad.
03:02Nine.
03:03Everyone starts at zero.
03:05Now if that seems like a lot of pressure,
03:06it's because it is a lot of pressure.
03:08Yeah, well, you know what?
03:09Not for us.
03:10Nope.
03:11Because the OG buttons have decided to unionize.
03:13Yeah, we either all make map,
03:15or none of us do.
03:16We are a chain that cannot be broken.
03:19All I have to do is find the weakest link.
03:21I break that person, the chain falls apart.
03:24Unity is power.
03:26Buttons on three.
03:28Buttons!
03:28Buttons, I didn't, okay.
03:29I do have a working theory as to who that person might be.
03:33This is a shame, Steven.
03:35I just, you know, I figured, like, since you're the most senior cheerleader,
03:37you'd just be a shoo-in.
03:39Woo! I'm in!
03:40Good luck, guys.
03:41No!
03:42No!
03:43I mean, I'm sorry!
03:44That is such a marked move.
03:46No!
03:47Now I'm 37.
03:48Okay.
03:49Time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
03:52We will be starting the day with jumps.
03:54Seth here is going to be helping me keep score.
03:56I have a system.
03:57All right, let's start with Peaches.
03:59Come on, Peaches!
04:00I always wanted to go to Daytona.
04:02My sister went to Daytona, and she said the girls go wild there.
04:08I'll fit right in.
04:17Yeah, me in the back of my wagon!
04:21Okay.
04:22She's terrifying.
04:23All right, DeMarcus!
04:25All right, baby!
04:26Let's go!
04:26Let's go!
04:27That's my best friend!
04:28Back up, Mark.
04:29Gotcha!
04:31Hoo!
04:32Oh!
04:33Oh!
04:33Oh!
04:35Always solid.
04:36Always.
04:37Raw talent.
04:38Killed a bunch?
04:47Smile, dear.
04:49This is smile.
04:51Okay.
04:53Sally.
04:54Yeah!
04:54Sally!
04:55Sally!
04:56Sally!
04:57Sally!
04:58Sally!
04:58Seriously, I have a special place for Sally in my heart, which is why I use my head.
05:04Woo!
05:06You got it!
05:11There she is.
05:13Woo!
05:13That's my girl Sally!
05:15Get out!
05:16Get out!
05:16Get out!
05:16Get out!
05:18Day one went pretty much as expected.
05:20There's nothing really sticking out.
05:21Strong disagree.
05:23Ooh, Seth, don't ever lick a part of your body and then put it on my body.
05:26Yes, ma'am.
05:27Here you are.
05:28Baby, you know you don't have to eat all those, right?
05:30They sell just the sticks at the store.
05:32No, I know.
05:32I'm just stress eating.
05:34But I'll tell you what, if it's this stressful for me, I can't imagine how hard it is on these
05:37kids.
05:37Better they find out now than at Daytona.
05:39You remember that flyer I had that got the yips right after the toss?
05:42Completely forgot how to land?
05:43So she just like, flew up to space?
05:47No, there is still gravity.
05:48Of course.
05:49Right.
05:50Uh, baby?
05:52Why is popsicle Sally off to the side and not with the others?
05:55Wendy, you know that's not how this works.
05:57I love Sally, but you and I both know she's not my strongest cheerleader, yeah?
06:00We have partner stats tomorrow.
06:01She could prove me wrong.
06:02I mean, anything could happen.
06:03Crystal, yeah?
06:04Obvi.
06:04Okay.
06:05Well, I didn't want to have to do this, but I am ready to resort to threats.
06:09If this sweet angel does not make Matt, then all of this is off limits.
06:25All right.
06:26First up, Crystal and Kyle.
06:28Teddy, you spot?
06:28Come on.
06:29Come on, Crystal.
06:30Come on, Crystal.
06:31Come on, Crystal.
06:31This is the first time I've ever had to, what did you call it, try on?
06:35Try out?
06:36Try out for Daytona.
06:38I'm feeling something unfamiliar.
06:42Is this nervousness?
06:44My mouth is so dry.
06:46There it is.
06:47There it is.
06:47Lock in.
06:48There we go.
06:48There we go.
06:50There it is.
06:51Oh!
06:53Yeah!
06:55Oh, wow.
06:56No.
06:57I was just thirsty.
07:00Crystal's liquid water.
07:03Marvin and Peaches.
07:04All right.
07:05Are you serious?
07:06I'm not doing a stunt with the masked virgin.
07:09Peaches, let's just give it a go, honey.
07:11Come on, Peaches.
07:11Come on, Peaches.
07:12Give them hell, Peaches.
07:14Come on, Peach.
07:17There it is.
07:19There it is.
07:21She's gone and stole my heart.
07:23Let's go!
07:25Next up, Hilda Bang and Mark.
07:28It's Hilda Bunch.
07:29Yeah, and it's still Steven, so...
07:31I thought it was Mark.
07:33No, it's Steven.
07:34Am I playing favorites?
07:35No.
07:36Someone has to be paired with my worst base,
07:38and it might as well be Hilda Bunch,
07:40who I really hope doesn't make Matt.
07:43Five, six, seven.
07:48Hey.
07:52Damn it, she's good.
07:53I don't mind her, Mark.
07:56He is like a sad clown.
07:58And if Sally wants to make Matt,
08:00she's going to have to do it with my best base.
08:02I'm totally ready for Daytona.
08:03Before a chair, DeMarcus always had to be the center of attention.
08:06The coach taught me to not show off.
08:08Fine.
08:08I do want Sally to succeed, but there's nothing wrong with that.
08:12It comes from my head, not my heart.
08:17DeMarcus, you're with Sally.
08:18Let's go, Sally.
08:19Come on, Sally.
08:19All right, Sally.
08:20You got this, Sally.
08:21Come on.
08:23All right.
08:24Lock it in.
08:24Come on.
08:25Yeah, show.
08:27She really needs to nail this.
08:29Tell me about it, sister.
08:30Yes!
08:31Yes!
08:34Yes, Sally.
08:35Yeah, show.
08:36Oh!
08:38There we go.
08:39Yeah!
08:40Yeah!
08:41Yeah!
08:42Yeah!
08:43Yikes.
08:47Telling a cheerleader that they're not going to make Matt is difficult.
08:51Telling a cheer parent that their child is not going to make Matt is even harder.
08:56Telling someone who thinks they are a cheer parent is next to impossible.
09:00That's why I need to tell Boone in a space where he cannot overreact.
09:03Praising my Savior.
09:06It's not fair.
09:07We are in God's house right now, so if you have a problem, you'll take it up with him.
09:10Dear Lord, please help my wife see the error of her ways.
09:14Amen.
09:15Please, be seated.
09:17We come now to a time of prayer, and we lift up the concerns of our church family.
09:24We pray for Courtney Potter, who, though she has brought shame to the community and
09:29to our congregation with her foul language.
09:32I'm about to go San Antonio on these rat .
09:36Forget the battery dropper.
09:38We're going to cut all the potty words out of this, right?
09:40I just, I feel like people in my church may watch.
09:43Has inspired us to have a forgiving spirit, and we pray for her as she takes her team to Daytona.
09:50Thank you, Pastor Salad.
09:52Amen.
09:53Amen.
09:54Pastor Salad, I would like to ask that we pray for Sally, our little girl, who I just
10:00found out might not make it.
10:02Oh.
10:03Sally is a young and healthy cheerleader with her whole life ahead of her.
10:07She just probably won't make Matt.
10:08Oh.
10:09Okay.
10:09She also lived in her car, and one time she had to wash her cheer bloomers in our kitchen sink.
10:15Oh.
10:15Oh, my God.
10:16Boo, I want Sally to make it just as much as you do, but it is a point system.
10:19Then give Sally another way to make points.
10:22The only other way to make points is baskets, and she's only ever done the most basic one.
10:25It is never too late.
10:27Remember, Jesus let Lazarus try out for life again.
10:30Oh, my God.
10:31It does seem like it would be appropriate to offer this young girl the same grace you
10:36have been granted.
10:45Fine.
10:46I will give her another try, but this is her last shot.
10:50Hallelujah!
10:51She has risen!
10:57Anybody else got anything?
11:06You're on deck, hon.
11:08Daytona, obviously, would be amazing.
11:10I've never been to Florida before.
11:12Wait.
11:13No, that's not true.
11:14I lived on an alligator farm when I was 13.
11:16But this time feels different.
11:19You know, no one is told to call an 800 number if they see me.
11:24Guys, I don't know why I'm so nervous.
11:25I just feel like I've done all the basics.
11:27I just need to add the spin.
11:28Probably because if they drop you, you could die.
11:31I was nervous my first time, too.
11:32But just think of everything that's ever made you mad.
11:35Use that rage.
11:36I just don't have, like, a lot of that.
11:38So I'm just sort of saving it for if I ever get deployed.
11:40Guys, honestly, I don't think that's helping.
11:42There's a lot of pressure.
11:43And if you don't do this, it's over.
11:46Yeah, for some reason, that's not helping.
11:48I don't know.
11:48Can I try?
11:49Mm-hmm.
11:49If you don't do this basket, I will steal your boyfriend.
11:52Oh.
11:53Hold in.
11:54Think fast.
11:57What do I do with this?
11:58Mm-hmm.
11:58Just drop them.
11:59Drop them off.
11:59What about something sad that you've overcome that's given you power?
12:06If I'm not back in five minutes...
12:08Just way longer.
12:15Okay.
12:16I got something.
12:18Let's go.
12:19All right.
12:19Call them off, Sally.
12:20Matt tryouts are as much a stress test as they are a skills test.
12:24I have had elite cheerleaders not make it.
12:26I have had bench warmers surprise me.
12:28And that's why I'm head over heart.
12:31Got this, honey.
12:32Okay, okay.
12:33Stand up quick.
12:34You got it.
12:39Let's go.
12:40Let's go.
12:41Yes.
12:42Yes, ma'am.
12:45Yeah, my baby did that.
12:47Take it through.
12:48Cheer dad coming through.
12:49Yes, she did.
12:49Yes, she did.
12:51I'm all heart and no head, and I own it.
12:54That's my popsicle stick.
12:56Woo!
12:57Good job.
12:58Good job.
12:58Okay, Ben.
12:59Sally executing her basket complicates things.
13:02I just asked Jesus to make my decision obvious.
13:04Even though Jesus has never been to Daytona, despite what my husband claims.
13:09All right, can I have Asian, Eric?
13:11Yeah!
13:11Woo!
13:12What is that?
13:13Jesus.
13:19Yeah!
13:20Woo!
13:21Yeah!
13:22Oh!
13:23Oh!
13:24Oh, God.
13:25Jesus.
13:26He's hard to control, but he's good.
13:27Yeah!
13:28Next up, Madonna.
13:30Let's go, Madonna!
13:31I'm the OG cheer team.
13:33I founded it.
13:34I'm not saying I'm George Washington, but if there was cheer money, I'd be on the dollar bill.
13:39Anyway, I'm really excited to be going to Daytona with my best friends, my boyfriend, and Mark.
13:46Come on, Madonna.
13:47You got this.
13:48Cute music.
13:49Watch this girl.
13:58You okay, Beth?
13:59Yeah.
13:59Yeah.
14:00I'm fine.
14:00I just...
14:01I just got distracted or something.
14:03It's all good, baby.
14:03She got this.
14:04She got this.
14:04She got this.
14:05She got this.
14:05Come on, Madonna.
14:06Let's get him.
14:07Cue music.
14:13Yeah.
14:14Yeah.
14:17Yeah.
14:17You good?
14:18Um...
14:20What's going on?
14:20I don't know.
14:21I just got really nervous all of a sudden.
14:22Okay, so just...
14:23Don't be nervous.
14:26All better.
14:27Yeah.
14:28I really thought that would work.
14:30Okay, clear out.
14:31I got this.
14:36Cue music.
14:37Yeah.
14:38Don't get in the stairs.
14:39Don't get in the stairs.
14:39The way my style switch up.
14:41Money in the dress and on.
14:42I don't need a mister.
14:44Waiting on my pick-up.
14:45Cybertruck, Tesla.
14:46Chop, chop, chop it, chop it like a pair of scissors.
14:49Sorry.
14:55Madonna.
14:58She got the yips.
15:04I don't see a scenario where Silent Mike doesn't make it.
15:06He is a strong base.
15:08Steven had his best tryouts ever, and we know DeMarcus is a sure thing.
15:10Mm-hmm.
15:12Do you have 43 unanswered emails?
15:14You need to prune your inbox like your closet.
15:16First off, you better not be going through my closet.
15:19The emails are just from the kids.
15:20They're trying to curry favor, but I'm not even going to look at them until I've set them out.
15:23I can't, I will, I must go with my head over my heart.
15:27What are you thinking?
15:28I'm thinking, I'm really worried about Daytona.
15:31I mean, I know how much product Courtney uses on her hair to get it to look like this in
15:35zero humidity.
15:37I think Florida is going to be a disaster for her.
15:40Seth, I know you're not in my bedroom right now.
15:43I was just looking for the bathroom.
15:48Maybe you can't be in here right now.
15:49I didn't even see you were there.
15:51I'm just crossing through to get a snack, all right? Carry on with your business.
15:54He's obsessed with you.
15:56I can't believe I'm saying this, but I guess it's going to come down between the button mascot, Hilda Bunch,
16:00and Madonna.
16:01Yes!
16:01Lord, you have never forsaken me.
16:04Permission to speak honestly?
16:05Is it about my appearance?
16:06No.
16:07Then yes.
16:07I love Madonna.
16:09I mean, I would be Madonna if the technology was available.
16:12But if we're just going on her mat tryout, I don't think she's in the mix.
16:16But we're going by points.
16:17And there's much more than tumbling on the score sheet.
16:20Such as the way you present.
16:21She has the best smile of anybody on the mat.
16:23Look at that.
16:25Hilda Bunch has never smiled.
16:26I don't even know if she has teeth.
16:27Hmm.
16:28She does.
16:28She bit me.
16:29This guy smiles all the time, but in a way that keeps me up at night.
16:33Don't cock your head like that.
16:34I'm not making excuses for her.
16:35I truly believe that the judges would love Madonna.
16:37Yeah, but what if she gets the yips in Daytona?
16:39And what if she doesn't?
16:41Okay.
16:42I'm going to talk to you for a second, not as your choreographer, but as your stalker.
16:45Okay.
16:46As someone who's just read through all of your diaries, you're not afraid to make the hard choice.
16:53I'm going to need you to leave my house right now.
16:56See?
16:57That's what I'm talking about.
17:01Heading out, Boone.
17:02See ya, sir.
17:04First of all, I want to say you all showed tremendous heart on the mat.
17:08And whoever didn't make it is still going to go as an alternate.
17:10Now, I usually make this announcement in front of everyone, but that's when half the team isn't making mat.
17:15So I do think it's best if you each come individually into my office, and that way nobody's embarrassed.
17:19Uh, Coach.
17:20No one is embarrassed.
17:21All right?
17:22Look, each and every one of you has something to be proud of.
17:25Shut up, Mark.
17:25Copy that.
17:26No, copy that.
17:26Walk to the side, buddy.
17:28Look, we are all a team.
17:29So we would like to hear together who made it.
17:34Okay.
17:42Madonna, I'm sorry.
17:45Let me finish.
17:46Hey, hey.
17:47Hold on.
17:47Hold on.
17:47Hold on.
17:47Let me finish.
17:50I'm sorry, honey.
17:53Wait.
17:53What?
17:54What?
17:55No.
17:56What?
17:59Um, no.
18:00It's okay.
18:00It's okay.
18:01It's more than okay.
18:02It's more...
18:04Uh, when I say Daytona, you say what?
18:08Daytona.
18:09What?
18:16Hey, Benny.
18:17Hiya.
18:18Why are you so stressed eating popsicles?
18:20Sally made the team?
18:21I'm not.
18:21I'm happy eating popsicles.
18:23Turns out I just like popsicles.
18:24Okay.
18:24I bet you could use one.
18:26Couldn't have been easy telling Madonna.
18:27No, I'm good.
18:28I mean, it wasn't, but...
18:30You know what?
18:30They're athletes.
18:31And at the end of the day, they know you don't always win.
18:33Mm-hmm.
18:33I mean, I do wish they didn't have to compete against each other.
18:36Mm-hmm.
18:36After getting so close.
18:37Yeah, it always does get a little Lord of the Flies-y this time of year, doesn't it?
18:40Yeah.
18:40Yeah.
18:40So did they turn on each other?
18:42Should we read some of those emails and see?
18:44I bet it gets pretty cut from it.
18:47All right.
18:48From Crystal.
18:4915% off my website until midnight.
18:51That's a good deal.
18:51Also, Madonna should make Matt.
18:54Okay, all right, all right.
18:55Let's try Steven.
18:56Hey, Coach.
18:57I think Madonna should make the team.
18:58I have at least seven years left.
19:00She can take my spot.
19:02Okay.
19:03Uh, okay, Peaches.
19:04This'll be a good one.
19:05Don't be a .
19:06Just put Madonna on the team.
19:09Okay.
19:10Well, you can see.
19:11Mm-hmm.
19:12You get the point.
19:13Honey.
19:14No, wait.
19:16You've done a real good job.
19:18They love each other.
19:19No, I'm just saying, what?
19:20What?
19:20You should be crying.
19:21You are being such a softie right now.
19:24I know you are not this emotional when you're coaching.
19:26That's football.
19:28Okay.
19:29All right.
19:30You want to see what Madonna wrote?
19:32Okay.
19:34Put on your big boy pants.
19:35This might get rough.
19:37Oh, it's video.
19:38Hey, Coach.
19:39I know you have to make a hard choice,
19:41but no matter what happens,
19:43I just really want to let you know
19:45how much you mean to me.
19:47That's an athlete right there.
19:48She can't.
19:48And as the original cheer team,
19:51I'm not going anywhere.
19:52How's she not saying?
19:55I was just a one-B-U-T-T-O-ing,
19:59cheer and go fight.
20:01And when, when I stumbled apart,
20:05a group of unlikely friends,
20:08a group of unlikely friends,
20:08there's this culture lady
20:10that brought us all together.
20:15Mmm, yeah.
20:18I know that I can fall asleep sometimes,
20:23but I know I can count on you
20:26to fill the lines.
20:29Daytona.
20:30Daytona.
20:32Daytona.
20:32Come on, guys.
20:32Daytona.
20:34You got it.
20:34You made that.
20:36It's okay.
20:37Daytona.
20:39Daytona.
20:40Daytona.
20:41You stumbled right into my heart.
20:46You stumbled right into my heart.
20:50You stumbled right into my heart.
20:58I guess it's fine if you stay a while.
21:06Bye, coach.
21:07Oh, no.
21:12I think I do need a pop obstacle.
21:17I ate them all.
21:20I'm so sorry.
21:25Oh, no.
