01:56disaster somehow involve you Felix you saw it right she changed the count
02:05I I didn't notice leave the team for now we'll wait for the school review

03:25ladies this is the girl I told you about
03:28Maren Vale why are you here for me because when you got dumped in that cafeteria you didn't look
03:33broken you looked like you wanted to burn the place down I'm not as strong as you think
03:37of course you're not right now you're still begging them to forgive you and admit you were right
03:42I just want the truth out truth in places like this only winners get to tell the truth
03:47then what do you want from me join my team what team a team of girls who got cut
03:51mocked and thrown away no sponsors no official gym no one speaking for them
03:56but they have one thing what hunger you want me to take on the varsity team with a bunch of
04:00rejects
04:01I want you to go to nationals and crush them in front of everyone I've been kicked out the school
04:05will never let me near competition again you still don't get it competition didn't abandon you
04:09you were finally forced to stop depending on everyone else tonight eight o'clock your choice
04:20ladies this is the girl I told you about her yes her
04:28if you want to win nationals you start learning to fight beside her tonight
04:41starting today you're a team a girl who just got dragged across campus is supposed to lead us
04:46keep going sylvia I saw your video nice tumbling but competition takes more than one girl who can flip
04:53nobody here needs another rejected joke funny I'm not here to coddle you either then what are you
04:58here for to win do you know why we're all here because the main teams didn't want us too injured
05:03too bulky not pretty enough too hard to control you're not our savior you just got tossed out too
05:06I never said I was here to save anyone but if you want to keep being whatever people leave behind
05:10you can walk out now you talk big enough talking show me skill ella one floor right now
05:25I don't need you to like me but if we're getting to nationals you better get used to me fine
05:29then
05:30don't just shine alone from today on Elwen leads why she just got here because she still has fire
05:35most of you have learned how to survive without embarrassing yourselves she hasn't she still wants
05:39to rip the ceiling off don't make me regret staying official training starts tomorrow and pick a name for
05:45this team they call us rejects then let's make them remember who rises out of what they threw away
05:52good someone's outside taking pictures before training tomorrow no stunts we start by saying
05:57the one thing each of us most wants to hide again are you not hearing us or are you pretending
06:06this
06:07isn't working right now you're acting like a copy-pate version of Serafina I'm nothing like her
06:13the way you command people you are
06:21what's wrong with your knee nothing you're shaking I said I'm fine
06:28if she wants to say it she'll say it
06:34the forum's already talking about us
06:39don't but they're already watching us welcome to our world
06:46that's enough for today we didn't even finish two clean sets because what you want are obedient
06:51performers not girls willing to bet everything with you then what am I supposed to do first shut
06:55up learn why they hurt before training tomorrow no stunts we start by saying the one thing each of us
07:00most wants to hide are you insane I'll be here tomorrow but if you turn this place into another
07:03varsity squad I'm the first one out I'll go first before every performance I used to think one thing
07:11first not how to do better it was how to make myself look less offensive I thought if I worked
07:15hard enough someday they'd stop seeing my size then I realized they never would they made me a
07:18base not because they trusted me it was because they thought I didn't look like someone worth flying
07:21I got cut because doctors said I shouldn't keep going but nobody asked whether I wanted to stop
07:24when they humiliated people I said nothing because I was afraid I'd be next I didn't get kicked out
07:30because I was bad it was because I refused to smile and pretend everything was fine we can't
07:34perform like them what do you mean they chase lightness symmetry polish like they were copied
07:38and pasted but we're different your strength shouldn't only be used to lift others your
07:42explosiveness should break rhythm not disappear inside a fixed smile my tumbling shouldn't prove
07:46I'm not a plus-size girl it should prove a plus-size girl can hit the floor like a cannon
07:49you want to
07:50throw street dance rhythm into cheer structure and power tumbling and pauses not every count has to
07:54smile we make the audience feel they're not watching a team that was accepted they're watching
07:58rejection turned into a weapon that's insane and explosive if we cut the rhythm like that it'll
08:02ease my landing pressure this offbeat into a power lift Serafina would hate this why because what
08:07she fears most is people seeing there's more than one kind of beauty on stair keep going
08:14if they see this they'll never leave us alone then let them come
08:25look the rejects actually showed up don't waste energy on trash isn't that the accident queen
08:31from the scandal heard you put together a team I thought it was just an online joke are you here
08:38to watch the competition or to see what losing to us looks like you still dream big but don't worry
08:43I already came up with a name for you the fat circus when the music starts try not to blink
08:48trust me I never blink when I'm watching a train wreck
08:53introducing first the west side high wildcats
09:07who are these girls they're insane
09:14we really blew that up I saw those girls in the front row go pale
09:20not bad where are your entry documents
09:30without full documentation your score may be void
09:35did you already know this was never just a competition
09:37this isn't an accident obviously not someone set us up
09:42if the score gets voided we lose everything after this
09:46you watched us compete you checked us in and now you're telling me we were never properly entered
09:51without complete documents our hands are tied
09:53he's not the problem then who is I've seen this before
09:56there was a former alternate on varsity who outperformed a starter in a trial event
09:59the next day her registration suddenly had errors then she quit
10:01you're saying seraphina's done this before not just her
10:04people connected to the board help make these things disappear
10:05you mean the school is helping her not the school the people who own the room
10:08did you already know this was never just a competition
10:10I knew they wouldn't let you walk onto the floor easily
10:13but I didn't expect them to block even a warm-up event
10:16that's not exactly comforting
10:19look
10:23this is
10:2310 years ago
10:24after winning a qualifier I was told there had been a procedural issue too
10:27music rights medical files registration order
10:29they can always invent a reason
10:30who did it
10:31the holts
10:33seraphina's mother is chair of the board
10:35so they really can erase us from the system
10:36they can
10:37but they're not untouchable
10:38you have a way
10:40I need the original check-in log from tonight
10:44so what they stole wasn't just one event
10:46it was the ticket
10:47exactly
10:48they're not afraid of one win
10:50they're afraid of you making it to nationals
10:59that's them
11:00the team that almost lost their own registration
11:02heard they got back in through connections
11:04amazing
11:05we get sabotaged
11:07and somehow we're still the dirty ones
11:09then we win until they shut up
11:12persistent aren't you
11:13sorry to disappoint you
11:15don't celebrate yet
11:16getting back on the list doesn't mean anyone will remember you
11:18then you'd better pray the audience has a short memory
11:20today
11:21don't prove yourselves
11:23announce yourselves
11:24they're waiting for a joke
11:25then let them watch a declaration
11:47we're trending
11:49not as a joke
12:01looks like you're enjoying this
12:03more than you think
12:04aesthetics and power is absolutely insane
12:07the girl in the last row
12:08stages a comeback
12:11you blew up
12:12not me
12:13us
12:13trending won't catch a stun
12:15and likes won't hold a flider
12:16if you want fame
12:18earn it on the mat
12:21someone outside asked me to pass this in
12:25that tone
12:26i don't need a detective
12:27serifana's panicking
12:28panic means she finally sees us
12:30wrong
12:31she doesn't see you
12:32she sees the possibility of losing
12:37know what you look like right now
12:39like children who got praised once and lost their minds
12:42but it means we have a shot
12:44you already did
12:46don't act like you need applause to know what you're worth
12:51looks like you're enjoying this
12:53more than you think
12:54the internet loves a spectacle
12:55especially one that looks rebellious
12:57you're not afraid of a spectacle
12:58you're afraid people are realizing they can win without your standards
13:00you really think one viral trend rewrites the rules
13:02no but it can keep you awake
13:04good since i can't erase you
13:05i'll destroy every single one of them
13:06one by one
13:06i want them learning how to kneel before nationals ever arrive
13:13stop that's not our track
13:14this is the version in the system
13:15bullshit we submitted the original cut
13:19what do we do
13:20the local file's here but there's no time to reload it
13:27give me three minutes and i'll tear their system apart
13:30you don't have three minutes
13:32captain
13:35we use this one
13:36are you insane half the routine won't land on that beat
13:38then we hard switch
13:43now
13:43now
13:45opening stunt push back half a count
13:46second tumbling pass rides the drums
13:48don't chase the melody in the climax
13:49chase the bass
13:50this is insane
13:51we were pushed into gambling the second they dragged us here
13:53everyone follows her
13:54from this second the original routine is dead
13:56dance like your lie-offs depend on it
14:09i genuinely thought we were gonna die out there
14:12this wasn't an accident
14:13someone switched your lane before you even ran
14:20they still qualified tell them next time it has to be cleaner
14:25the thing i hate most is being seen as someone who only survived through loopholes
14:27now you all get to see me that way too
14:31shit
14:33sylvia don't touch me
14:38at least tell us what this is
14:40when i applied for my athletic scholarship in high school
14:42i underreported my family income
14:43you falsified it
14:44my mother had just divorced that year
14:45on paper we had money
14:46in reality we had access to none of it
14:47the system didn't care
14:47it only cared about the numbers
14:48and then
14:49then i got the scholarship
14:49later they found discrepancies
14:50because i had grades and medals
14:51they could profit file and bury it
14:52so they're not trying to report you
14:53they want you ashamed enough to quit
14:54now someone dug it back up
14:55the thing i hate most is being seen as someone
14:56who only survived through loopholes
14:57now you all get to see me that way too
14:58i don't
14:59you will
14:59you're the captain now
15:00you love words like honesty
15:02trust carry it together then tell me
15:04does someone who lied to the system
15:05deserves to stand on your team
15:07there
15:08even you have to think about it
15:09let her go
15:14if you want to yell at me go ahead
15:16i'm too tired to yell
15:17that second i paused wasn't me deciding
15:20whether you deserve this team
15:21it was because i was thinking
15:23how many people get pushed into choosing
15:24between lying and being erased
15:27you can hate who you were then
15:29but i'm not letting them use it
15:30to push you out of this place now
15:41they're not done
15:44are you out of your mind
15:45you admitted it publicly
15:46that hands them the knife
15:47they
15:47did you lie to get that scholarship
15:49do you feel disgusting
15:51staying in competition
15:52back off
15:53if she's innocent
15:54why can't she answer
15:57because you're not here for answers
16:00you're here because you smell blood
16:02your favorite thing in the world
16:03is dragging out someone's worst moment
16:05and pretending it's justice
16:06but if someone made an imperfect choice
16:07inside an unfair system
16:08and that means you get to nail them to it forever
16:10then you don't love fairness
16:11you love watching people kneel
16:12so did she lie or not
16:13yes
16:13when she was a teenager
16:14she lied to survive in a system
16:15that cared about paperwork more than reality
16:17if you actually want to talk fairness
16:19go ask the school that knew the truth
16:20profited off her
16:21and is now acting shocked
16:23are you out of your mind
16:24you admitted it publicly
16:25that hands them the knife
16:26they already had the knife
16:27i'm refusing to let you pretend
16:28you were never cut
16:31honestly i thought you'd make her disappear
16:33until the heat died
16:36she's not a liability
16:37shame is
16:44she's a waste of space
16:46next time someone tells you to kneel
16:47ask whether they've earned the right
16:48to hear your confession
16:50you are deeply dangerous
16:52thanks
16:57elwyn
16:58i think
16:58i may have been wrong
17:01because
17:02she reached out to me
17:04what did she want
17:07oh my god
17:08give a girl one viral moment
17:09and her ex crawls right back
17:11i'm not here to talk to ask you alone
17:14then that's progress
17:15what i did to you in the dining hall
17:17i did it because i was scared
17:18seraphina's side was already making threats
17:20anyone who stood with you
17:21would get dragged down too
17:21so you pushed me first
17:23yeah
17:23i know it was cowardly
17:24but i really do want to make it right now
17:25you know what the funniest part is
17:26people like you always decide to become decent
17:28the moment i no longer need you
17:29it's not like that isn't it
17:30where were you when the whole campus
17:31threatening me
17:31where were you when i got kicked off the team
17:32when i had no value
17:33you were afraid i'd contaminate you
17:34now i'm trending
17:34now everyone's talking about me
17:35and suddenly you've found your moral compass
17:37i'll admit at first i did think
17:38that if i stood up for you now
17:39maybe i could fix things
17:41there it is
17:41you're not here because you care about me
17:43you're here to salvage
17:43what kind of person you look like
17:45too bad i don't need anyone to prove i'm worth loving anymore
17:47i can help you
17:48how
17:48i know seraphina's digging into all of you
17:50she wants to break your team member by member
17:51before the next round
17:53how do you know that
17:55because
17:57she reached out to me
17:59what did she want
18:01i just asked him to be sensible
18:05you really think you can outrun the past
18:07some people may be spineless
18:09but at least they know which side wins
18:12thanks for coming tonight
18:13you just saved me the trouble of feeling nostalgic
18:17see you at the next competition
18:19if your little team still has enough people left to show up
18:23don't make it obvious
18:25make them lose like it was technical
18:26who is mrs holt
18:30no way
18:32you've got to be kidding me
18:34that routine was worth that
18:37it was cleaner than last round
18:39they tanked our execution score on purpose
18:42and underscared our difficulty
18:48don't be too devastated
18:50not every competition rewards a narrative
18:55don't give her what she wants
18:57this isn't subjective preference
18:59someone is using the sheet to bury you
19:01here synchronization error minus your point four
19:03but on video it's barely a visual drift
19:05not even a real break
19:06and this
19:06they logged our final transition as low risk
19:09so when they can't steal the routine
19:10they redefine it
19:11someone on that panel got bought
19:15do we have proof?
19:16no
19:17right now
19:18all we have is a pattern
19:20and suspicious never beats polished legitimacy
19:25mrs holt said
19:26state u doesn't want them getting too comfortable
19:28on the road to finals
19:29so how do we manage the spread?
19:31don't make it obvious
19:32make them lose like it was technical
19:33who is mrs holt?
19:36seraphia's mother
19:37one of the most powerful people on the board
19:40your so-called standards
19:41are just a machine to keep your daughter centered
19:43and everyone else trained to step back
19:46the one with the silver brooch
19:47that's her
19:52you know her?
19:53ten years ago
19:54i met her politeness first
19:55then her methods
19:57maryn
19:58after all these years
19:59you still prefer side entrances
20:01because people like you
20:03keep contaminating the front
20:04so you're eloine
20:05you have more presence than the clips suggest
20:08and you're more fake in person than in the audio
20:10good
20:10i like girls with nerve
20:12provided they know when to stop
20:14you've built impressive momentum
20:16audiences love an underdog
20:18and media loves a fresh label
20:20but the spotlight is not designed for everyone
20:22what exactly does that mean?
20:23it means
20:24girls like you
20:25should not be standing under that kind of light
20:26girls like me?
20:27wrong body type
20:28wrong polish
20:28messy background
20:29and especially prone to giving other girls dangerous ideas
20:31the idea that
20:31if they are loud enough
20:32stubborn enough
20:33resistant enough
20:34they can bypass standards
20:34your so-called standards
20:35are just a machine to keep your daughter centered
20:37and everyone else trained to step back
20:38i maintain order
20:39you're not order
20:40you're just used to people calling your bias taste
20:42then remember this
20:43the fact that you are allowed on the floor now
20:45does not mean you beat the system
20:47it means the system hasn't focused on you yet
20:49did she ever say that to you?
20:51worse
20:58are they insane?
20:59when they can't beat us clean
21:00they investigate our lives
21:01our pasts
21:01our bloodlines
21:02are they insane?
21:03this isn't a review
21:04it's a message
21:04we can decide whether you deserve to exist at all
21:06you have two choices now
21:07one, shrink
21:07stay quiet
21:08and hope they decide you're less threatening
21:09two, if they think you were never meant to stand here
21:11train until forcing you off
21:12costs them too much
21:13now that sounds right
21:14she's right
21:15we've been trying to prove we deserve this
21:17I've changed my mind
21:18I'm done asking for recognition
21:20I want them to watch us win
21:21and then explain themselves
21:23why all that effort still couldn't stop us
21:28this doesn't feel like scoring bait
21:29it feels like a declaration of war
21:31good
21:31at last it doesn't look like a permission slip
21:35you still showed up
21:36the more you don't want me here
21:37the more I want to win in front of you
21:38let's see if that confidence survives the floor
21:54we actually made it
21:56they've already launched the review
21:58just because they failed now
21:59doesn't mean they won't get dirtier next time
22:08dig up the things they never wanted seen
22:10all of them
22:13she's gone dark
22:25these came from inside the clinic
22:28they can reach that too
22:32I'm done
22:33at this point we're not training for competition
22:35we're just waiting to be skin next
22:36if I really destabilize out there
22:38they'll say they were right about me all along
22:39I really didn't say anything back then
22:42if they call me complicit
22:43I don't even know how to deny it
22:44let's stabilize first
22:45no one makes a decision today
22:47and no one disappears alone
22:48easy for you to say
22:49you let us into the spotlight
22:51now everyone's ugliest wounds are public
22:52are you leading us to a comeback
22:53or marching us into a public execution
22:55don't dump all of this on her
22:56you think if you quit the post disappear
22:58they won't
22:59they don't just want you out of competition
23:04they want you to delete yourselves
23:11she's gone dark
23:14she's gone
23:15the semi's tomorrow
23:22I can't find her
23:36hello
23:36if we don't find her
23:37we can't even feel the routine
23:41your taste in hideouts is terrible
23:42I wasn't trying to be found
23:43I kept thinking last night
23:45if I go out there today
23:45I either drag all of you down
23:47or wreck myself
23:47either way they win
23:48you know what's worse than the injury
23:50they've moved into your head
23:51now they don't even need to touch your knee
23:53they just need you to believe
23:53you're doomed to ruin everything
23:54and you'll finish the job for them
23:56but I really could destabilize
23:57yes
23:57you might
23:58then go with that possibility
24:00without your reburden
24:00they thought would crush you
24:01we do not want you because you're perfect
24:02we want you because you're ours
24:07pull that disappearing act again
24:08and I'll haul you back myself
24:09and lock you in the gym
24:10touching reunion over
24:11now tell me
24:11can you go
24:12or do we rewrite the whole thing right now
24:14I can go
24:15but if I go down
24:16don't save the stunt
24:16save the person
24:17now that sounds like a team
24:27we actually made it
24:49treated like a freak
24:50and you didn't save me first
24:52you first saw
24:59you knew Ophelia a long time ago
25:04yes
25:06destroyed your career
25:07she did
25:09so when you chose me
25:10was it because I was worth betting on
25:12or because I was useful
25:15at the beginning
25:16yes
25:17I was looking for someone
25:18who could rip open
25:19the Holt family's fake perfection
25:20you had the anger
25:22the talent
25:23and the refusal to bow
25:26so I really was a weapon
25:27at first
25:28yes
25:29you saw me get kicked out
25:31humiliated
25:31treated like a freak
25:32and you didn't save me first
25:34you first saw how to use me
25:35I opened a door
25:36you were the one who walked through it
25:38don't dress this up as mercy
25:39you know what I hate most
25:41not that enemies want to destroy me
25:43it's when someone says
25:45they believe in me
25:45while quietly calculating
25:47where I fit in their revenge
25:49Elowen
25:49don't
25:50if you ask me now
25:51whether I still see you as a tool
25:52the answer is no
25:54but if you ask me
25:54whether I had selfish motives
25:55when I first approached you
25:56the answer is also yes
25:57so from the very beginning
25:58I was a piece in your 10 year war
25:59with Ophelia
26:00you were never a piece
26:01someone I thought I could keep
26:02under control
26:02finally
26:03a true sentence
26:07big angry and disobedient
26:08yes
26:09and one more
26:09you had more talent than they
26:14if you want the full truth
26:16I'll give it to you now
26:17then don't choose the version
26:18that flatters you
26:19when I first approached you
26:20yes
26:20revenge was part of it
26:21I knew exactly what kind of girl
26:23the Holtz fear most
26:24and you checked nearly every box
26:25big angry and disobedient
26:27yes
26:27and one more
26:28you had more talent than they did
26:30don't hand me candy now
26:31but things changed
26:31I originally thought
26:32I was training a symbol
26:33that could help bring the Holtz down
26:35then I realized
26:35you're not a symbol
26:36you are the strongest captain
26:37I've ever seen
26:38you don't just rise on your own
26:39you force everyone around you
26:40not to kneel
26:41how exactly am I supposed to believe that
26:43believe someone who turned me
26:44into strategy first
26:45and only later
26:45remembered I was a person
26:48got it
26:49I knew that woman had an angle
26:51she admitted
26:51she dragged us all into her old war
26:53and now finals are right here
26:54so tell me how this team
26:55is supposed to function now
26:56if the foundation was a lie
26:58what exactly are we standing on now
27:01we thought we were rewriting our fate
27:03what if actually
27:04we were pushed into someone else's
27:05revenge script
27:18say something
27:19you let us here
27:20so are we still going or not
27:22we have to decide
27:23if they really dump everything
27:24this isn't just embarrassment
27:25my eligibility
27:26medical support
27:27transfer options
27:28all of it could be wrecked
27:29my mom already asked
27:29if I'm getting sucked back
27:30into school team drama again
27:31if this hits during nationals week
27:33she will force me out
27:34say something
27:34you let us here
27:35so are we still going or not
27:40you don't even know anymore
27:41do you
27:51you want to go too
27:52I want to know
27:53what is happening
27:55inside your head right now
27:59I'm thinking
28:02maybe they were right
28:04who
28:05everyone
28:05that after getting kicked out of the mainstream
28:07I got so desperate to prove I wasn't finished
28:09that I dragged all of you into it with me
28:11I kept telling myself I was leading a comeback
28:12but what if actually
28:13I shoved all of you a bigger humiliation
28:15that's where your head goes
28:16after they drove you to the edge
28:17your first instinct isn't to hit back
28:18it's to wonder whether you were never supposed to get here at all
28:20listen carefully
28:21if you walk now
28:21if you walk because you're afraid
28:22you're not pure enough
28:23selfless enough
28:23harmless enough
28:24and you throw all of this away
28:25then you become exactly the failure
28:26they always said you were
28:27what they want most
28:28isn't just to see you beaten
28:28it's to watch you do it to yourself
28:30I'm not making this decision for you
28:31but don't forget
28:31we stood with you in the beginning
28:32never because you were perfect
28:33who are you really winning for
28:34have you forgotten your original intention
28:38I decide how we win
28:42pleasing other people
28:44all the times I thought I was sticking it to my ex
28:47or making the whole school
28:48regret not picking me
28:50none of that was about making myself happy
28:53I figured you'd come here
28:56you're good at that
28:57I'm not here to defend myself tonight
28:58then why are you here
28:59to see whether you'd chain yourself back to that last row
29:02I used to think I was fighting to be recognized
29:05then I thought I was fighting for revenge
29:06then later I started using leading the team to win
29:09as proof that I wasn't worthless
29:11but all of those still hand the power to someone else
29:13whether they approve
29:14whether they regret it
29:15whether they fear me
29:15it's still all about them
29:16I don't want to dance for them anymore
29:17not to silence haters
29:19not to humiliate an ex
29:20not even to avenge you
29:21I want to win
29:22because this is my body
29:23my team and my story
29:24they do not get to define
29:25what this competition means
29:28that's the sentence I needed you to say on your own
29:30don't you dare pretend this was part of your plan
29:34it wasn't
29:38you grew this yourself
29:41I haven't forgiven you
29:43you shouldn't
29:45good
29:46because this time
29:48I decide how we win
29:49I decide how we win
29:50I decide how we win
29:56I decide how far I decide but not as a dictator
29:58we decide it together
30:05we're not training yet
30:06we talk first
30:08you don't get peace first
30:09you tell the truth first
30:12fine
30:13you approached me at the beginning
30:14because you saw I could flip the table for you
30:16yes
30:16you trained us
30:17and beyond wanting us to win
30:18you also wanted to use us to drag the holts down
30:20yes
30:21did it ever occur to you
30:22that by doing that
30:23you were putting a group already wounded by the system
30:25onto another battlefield you controlled
30:26yes
30:27but I told myself
30:28that if you won in the end
30:29the manipulation along the way would be forgivable
30:31that was the most selfish thing about me
30:33what you owe me
30:33isn't just the use
30:35it's that you watched me learn to stand up for myself
30:37and still tried to keep your hand hidden on the wheel
30:39yes
30:40I confused protection or control
30:42I thought I knew better than you how this should be won
30:44but the truth is
30:45I didn't trust that you could win without my way
30:48I'm sorry
30:48not because you're upset
30:49because I was truly wrong
30:50if from today on
30:51I only get to be a coach
30:52and not touch your decisions
30:53I accept that
30:53that's what I needed to hear
30:54an apology
30:55the truth
30:55and neither will you
30:56I will not be anyone's peace again
30:57how this team moves now
30:58what we perform at finals
30:59what risks we take
31:00and how far I decide
31:01but not as a dictator
31:01we decide it together
31:03for finals
31:03I'm done performing a formula
31:05I want every scar we carry
31:07choreographed into the routine
31:08shame
31:09injury
31:09exclusion
31:10silence
31:11rage
31:11we hide of it
31:12we are done hiding
31:14now we're talking
31:15fine
31:16at least now it doesn't feel like unpaid revenge labor
31:26this board looks like group therapy
31:30good
31:32nationals might as well witness
31:34how the things they try to break
31:36become weapons
31:39this routine
31:40is not built
31:41to comfort judges
31:42or to make us look inspirational
31:44it's built
31:45so anyone watching
31:46can't keep pretending
31:48they didn't see
31:54that one's for everyone
31:55who said I wasn't
31:56the right kind of pretty
32:02you want them to see
32:03you want them to see the fall coming first
32:04yeah
32:06and then watch me pull it back myself
32:10that's not floor work
32:11that's an indictment
32:15you do not need to be brave on command
32:17what I'm most afraid of
32:19is the whole world seeing that I said nothing back then
32:22and choreograph the silence too
32:24yeah
32:26if this lands
32:27nobody will ever be able to reduce you to a joke again
32:30and if it doesn't land
32:31then at least we won't lose while pretending to be polished
32:33we fight truthfully
32:37hello
32:37and me Anya
32:38tell your little friends to back off
32:45this isn't reporting
32:46it's old sewage in a new bottle
32:48they're not just trying to smear you
32:49they want officials to think
32:50that if you take the floor
32:52any incident becomes their liability
32:53that they let a dangerous athlete compete
32:55due to escalating public concerns
32:57the committee is discussing
32:58whether to revoke your performance slot
33:00on finals eve
33:01based on anonymous
33:02stitched together hit pieces
33:03we have to protect the event
33:05every time you say protect
33:06it's always people like us
33:07who get removed
33:07we will be in touch
33:08if they pull our slot
33:10we don't even get to lose
33:13wait
33:13the whole internet is shifting
33:24who posted this
33:25burner account
33:26zero history built to drop a bomb
33:28doesn't matter who
33:28now the holts have some explaining to do
33:39someone is helping us
33:40or using us to stab them
33:53hey sweetie
33:54hey sweetie
33:55don't turn it up
33:56hey sweetie
33:57hey sweetie
33:58don't turn it up
34:02they're really strong
34:03that's what makes her dangerous
34:05she's not just cool
34:06she's actually good
34:07if we lose
34:08everyone will say
34:09see
34:09authenticity and rage are moving
34:11but the title still belongs to the standard
34:16are you scared
34:18yeah
34:20but for the first time
34:21i'm not afraid of comparison
34:25then that's enough
34:28you'd better pray
34:29we don't do prayer
34:31i just showed the nation
34:32what champions look like
34:33good
34:34then i'm about to show the nation
34:36what they've never seen before
34:41representing the west high royal
34:44the west high cheerleader
34:46let's go
34:49go
34:50go
34:50get over
34:51come on
35:05go
35:06go
35:07go
35:08go
35:32You're insane out there.
35:34It worked, didn't it?
36:05Team Holt's score is disqualified.
36:08And the final championship result is as follows.
36:11National champions, reach out!
36:23What do you want to say right now?
36:24They kept telling me I was too big, too loud, too dangerous, too wrong to be seen.
36:29Then I learned what's really dangerous isn't girls like me standing in the spotlight.
36:33It's powerful people deciding you should never be there while stealing every chance you have to prove yourself.
36:38So you've ever been pushed to the back row?
36:40If they ever told you girls like you shouldn't, flip past it.
36:43Flip it, girl!
36:44What do you want to say right now?
36:45It's a girl!
36:45It's a girl!
36:46It's a girl!
