My first watch..

I’m binging the old series’ (starting with 3 as 1+2 aren’t available to me). I’m on series 6 atm and here are my main take aways so far.

* The hair, the clothes and the heels are hilarious. This is my peak teenage/early college age so it’s crazy to me to see.

* Everyone is peroxide blonde. (I know they’re not but it feels like they alllll are). The tan is also off the charts.

* The fat shaming is sooo overt. No wonder we all had body issues in the 00s. They literally have cut people because they couldn’t lose weight quickly enough. At one point the camera zoomed into a girls’s stomach when Kellie was saying she is too ‘soft’ around the middle at uniform fitting. In series 3 and 4 they have them go find their body fat levels.
Then the bootcamp guy is so aggressive. When he did the ‘supermarket shop’ thing and then told them to eat egg whites and salmon and threw away their food pics…

* The fact that they don’t have a set number for the squad is interesting. I know they’ve fixed it for thunder now but like one year it’s 34, the next it’s 40. Hard for the girls to know when they’ll be cut.

* There’s a mismatch of them not liking the girls posting pics of them in revealing clothes and bikinis and then them taking pics and videos of them in bikinis for the calendar, the fat percentage place, on their retreats etc. like it doesn’t match. Either it’s ok or not.

* Kellie, Judy and Charlotte are mean girls. They clearly enjoy picking on the girls when they critique them during practice to each other. Perhaps they have changed. Or perhaps they just don’t show it.

Anyways I’m loving the rawness of this and the wildness that is this show. I can’t wait for more!!
