I went back and just watched Season 1 of SMOED and OMG, I remember when seeing they got like 100K views was a lot...it's at 1.4 million.
Dating was mentioned, but it was more of an off the cuff comment by Kyle. Kiara (16), Clinton (17), Kyle (16), and Kira (18) were the only ones interviewed and they definitely handled those interviews better than the CJA kids.
The drama surrounding the first episode was Clinton, with a description of the program, that they won World's, and what all-star cheer is now. They showed conditioning, quite a few skills, and footage from the previous year.
I felt like, for every CJA kid I could point to the SMOED counterpart and I disliked that because I felt like it was Awesomeness editing it that way versus it being natural. I'll probably try another episode or two, but I have a feeling this series won't last beyond a season.
