I bet if you asked PA, the story behind Trenton wasn't the competition (or lack there of) but the added difficulty and getting ready for the next big comp (Atlantis?). I think CMT could have done a quality show without the fictional competition against 2 other SSAG teams that don't exist. Just tells me that CMT doesn't really get it, oh well. Still enjoying the show.
I mean, I do understand...but if they're trying to sell a show to people that aren't in the cheer world, who wants to watch a team that never competes against anyone? I know in Dance Mom's the girls probably don't compete against as many other teams as the show makes it seem, but it makes for a good show. The cheer world understands that there's not always teams to compete against, but everyone else would be like "Well, you didn't really win then..."
I know people that ARE in the cheer world and still think like that. They don't grasp the concept of us basically competing against our own scores, or trying to get a bid, or going for grand champions being enough reason to go to a competition.
