All the Betrayal 😯🧨

People are falling in love, I have no idea what Heath's motives are and Shad has got some explaining to do. As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Riley reacts to season 7 of TNS: is.gd/WagERa

[@TheInternetsFairy]

If the next step was made to be more of a young adult show (like tiny pretty things) what storylines would you want Riley to have or any storylines in general.

[@aliciasilva1220]

Good question

[@beagemini9472]

I know your not asking me but I think at eating disorder storyline would be been good. Especially dancer as well

[@jxyden8380]

Good question!!!

[@speedyhaley884]

@@beagemini9472 I’m sorry but I’m a dancer and not many people go though that eating disorders are more common In ballet but it doesn’t alway mean that will happen it about having a a balance diet

[@ruheekhan6456]

Shad actually made me laugh in that scene when he showed Richelle 😂

[@blaccademia]

Another question! Do you think the the next step has gone on too long? If so where would you have stopped it, or if not what new storylines would you like to see? Thanks Brit! :)

[@sophielem59]

Good question!! Personally, I kinda want TNS to stop after season 9, if they won internationals or not. There are so many storylines that are similar to the early seasons that it's kinda boring in some way...

[@idkwhattonamemychannelpt2455]

I personally fell outof it sometine after season 6 so i would say there but thats just me cuz its so differebt now

[@zdcosner3766]

Shad briefly met Teara Bling in the Season 8 off season. But I feel like they missed a bit of an opportunity to continue hiding the identity of the mole towards us as an audience for a bit longer. They could have made us think it was Shad or even another person until the next episode and then reveal Heath as the mole. I think that would have been really good to delay the reveal until the next episode (cause I love the next few episodes). Love how you’re so curious to finding out Heath’s motives for becoming the mole. All in good time. When I first watched this, I always assumed that Heath was repairing Kingston and Ozzy’s friendship in attempt to undo the damage he’s caused. Shad and Richelle are still cute together. Looking forward to seeing your next reactions to the next few episodes and future vlogs. I guess another question that I could ask you is that, if The Next Step ever attempted to make another spin off show, what do you think would be a good idea or concept for a new spin off? Obviously we had Lost And Found a few years back which was basically focused on the music side of the studio and even dealt with some slightly serious storylines (and even had a few mini cameos with you, Michelle and Giselle). Season 8 of The Next Step so far has incorporated a combination of music and singing alongside dancing as we’ve seen with Shad and Cleo which brings a bit of Lost and Found vibes back which I like. What do you think could be a good concept for a new spin off? I always thought a drama or theatre focused one could be good considering how much singing, acting and dancing go hand in hand as a trinity.

[@SterreTH]

I like the antique feel. I also have a stereo/cd player which is the same as the one used in the first seasons. I noticed it when watching Michelle and Eldons first duet while they were practicing in studio b.

[@minicookiebites]

I honestly don’t find the next step that interesting but when I’m watching you react to it, it makes it 1000 times more interesting:D

[@joshie4849]

QUESTION: how did you feel as an actor when you found out that Riley would be becoming studio head in Season 4? Did you feel any anxiety towards how you would tackle this shift as an actor? As time has passed and you’ve gained more experience, are there any choices you wish you’d have made differently when conveying how Riley was handling her new environment?

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Love this question! I'm gonna answer this in a future video

[@-lilyy.anaa-]

I love the editing of the Riley Reacts lately, its really fresh and funky!

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Yay, thank you!

[@aashnakumar8498]

Watching your videos just takes me back to when I was 10! Would you ever do a reunion live on stage tour with the OG cast? Watching you guys perform on stage was always one of my favourite parts of the show!!

[@lilysharp233]

I love the next step but i think they should make it a bit of an older target show because the shows watchers are way older now, what do you think

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

That tends to be the nature of this show. The audience is brought in with a new set of cast, for about 4 seasons and then they "graduate" off, bringing in new characters, along with a new and younger audience.

[@kimberley27]

12:21 As much I love the idea of an old movie themed dance, my immediate thought here was ‘didn’t they already do that?’ I don’t know if Britt has watched any of S5 but the qualifier video was one of my favourites dances on the show! Also an unpopular opinion but S5 is one of my favourite seasons - I love the cast/characters and the whole east vs west storyline which eventually comes together to form a new a-troupe.

[@amelia_naomi]

Hahah the whole girlfriend thing with Shad made me laugh so hard 🤣 I was like ‘umm Britt what about Jiley yk the couple you played’ and then the bit of u editing came on and I was gone 🤣🤣🤣

[@fynnwinter]

that picture of tea ara bling and shad was from the off season !!! shad visited the studio and tea ara bling asked for a picture with him (i think she recognized him if i remember correctly)

[@Charlotte-uj6jt]

Yeah she recognised him from radiation

[@user-vy8ky8iw6r]

Britt i love these videos so much ive watched all the seasons but i love to re watch them with explaining everything

[@Rosie-bi5gz]

I so look forward to these every weekend when I'm working away at prep for my new job!

[@georgiamiles2274]

I giggled so much when u clocked they did it to jiley twice😭

[@Charlotte-uj6jt]

Hi Britt! I love your videos so so so much. Earlier this year I went through quite a tough time, I got injured and lost several friends, to say the least. Your vlogs and reaction videos got me through it though, and now I am happier and healthier. I would love to meet you irl, it is literally my dream. Today I had some crazy idea of meeting you, but ik it is not going to happen. If you are still answering questions at the end of each video, I would like to know if you had to audition to stay in tns before each season or if they just knew exactly who they were going to write off. Also, thank you so much Brittany you are my idol and you’ve inspired me so much. 😄💜

[@lilasinger1771]

I would love to see a travel vlog 😂 Like traveling by bike and camping in the wilderness😂 No but seriously I would like to see just a regular working day routine...

[@phoebebooth8794]

I LIVE FOR THESE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Charlotte-uj6jt]

Make anything that makes you happy you own this channel and I will always follow you and idolise you and watch your videos. Love you Brittany

[@amelia_naomi]

BRITT U FORGOT THE TIMER!! but at the same time u didn’t need it. BRAVOOO 🎉

[@brittjomin_always6161]

Omg when you were explaining about the egirls hand shake, it reminded me of the talking head you did explaining it in season 1. You even looked at your hand the same way after making the G

[@blaccademia]

I love all your videos but especially these reactions! But I need to know what foundation it is you’re using - you’re skin is literally glowing!

[@juliawilliams789]

so the mole thing will be explained more haha, but i kinda wish that they didn’t reveal the mole to be Heath to the audience before the picture of Shad with tearabling was exposed so then the audience would be convinced it was him! but to explain more, before the official episodes of season 8 aired, they aired the off season which was like 10 mini 5 minutes episodes just to explain what happened between season 7 and 8, and in one of these off season episodes, tearabling was in the studio and Shad walks in because he was visiting the studio again, and tearabling recognises him from his dance crew, radiation, so she takes a picture with him. that’s how that picture came to light now. question: what would your thoughts be on if the next step was to end in season 9, how would you want the show to wrap up? Xx

[@bengreasley9057]

i love your content so much. have always loved TNS. LYSM

[@matildangelica]

20:55 I was one of those fans lol, when I saw Riley wasn't in s5 I was like nope, not watching this anymore 🙃

[@matildangelica]

I did watch the two episodes of s5 Riley was in though, I remember everyone were sooo excited you were back haha

[@butterfly_bubbles4473]

I love that she said switch a rooney it reminded me of liv and maddie

[@hayleywescombe4417]

Hi question! I don't know how to approach this and I hope I'm not offending in anyway but recently Trevor and Jordan tied the knot!💍A lot of the former TNS cast according to instagram were you there? Did you go? Just curious.

[@wandavision4033]

Ngl Brittany I think you should watch the off season cuz the picture of Shad will make sense 😂

[@kerys405]

ypure so pretty its unreal

[@georgiamiles2274]

Same question as I asked last video but Question🙋🏽‍♀️!!: At what moment did u realise how much you had inspired people through the next step and how loved and appreciated you are🤍

[@tropicalbeaches]

Which dance on the next step are you most proud of, group dance and solo/duet? Btw thank you so much for your videos I really enjoy them 😊

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Tough choice, but I think my favorite Riley solo would have to be one of the first solos I did in season one called "Where did Everybody go". I'm actually reacting to that in a future video, so stay tuned :)

[@tropicalbeaches]

Can’t wait 😌

[@ruya6126]

​@@BrittanyRaymondOfficialcan you Tell sage that she needs to get a KZbin Chanel ❤

[@jrlombardi5251]

I personally don't blame Richelle for feeling betrayed, she asked everyone is they wanted to do the show and they agreed, just to later on decide to do something completely different behind her back even when the plan was to do it as a team so they're leaving her alone. If she would have decided alone without giving anyone and choice then yes, but that's not the case, they all agreed with the idea and that's a compromise and a resposability they're leaving, and even if another thing presents to them or want to do something else (like Amy or Kenzie's cases) then they should tell Richelle and the team and have a conversation about it bc it affects the rest, that's what's responsable, but in the end they just hide it till everyone finds out thanks to the mole a Tiara, which are the people that are trying to destroy them, ofc it is not great and can upset others.

[@Didiorugi]

It's always great when u post:)

[@gavindeol]

Did you attend Jordan and Trevors wedding?

[@SA-ft4gu]

3:29 Brit, you said Keath instead of Heath 😂😂😂

[@poisonousjinx9823]

So I am the only one who caught that hahaha

[@ReaghanJacobs]

If TNS allowed cursing who do you think would curse the most from the OG cast

[@micellaragua]

Emily or James

[@lilysharp233]

If riley came back, what would you want the storyline to be

[@Charlotte-uj6jt]

I actually have a storyline and I am writing a tns script for season 9 where Riley comes back but I don’t think I will ever post it online cos I don’t make content sorry if you wanted to know

[@kimberley27]

I think this is one of my favourite S8 reaction videos so far 😊

[@natyduchens1706]

Hi Brittany💖, I have been a latinamerica🇨🇱 fan since season 1 and I come mainly to see your reaction and to be able to see season 8 of TNS, because in latinamerica was broadcast until the second (I saw the other seasons on KZbin), I love youuuu🥰

[@tea_time_with_dafe]

Your videos always give me so much joy❤

[@pranaravi]

Hey britt, I would love to see another vlog from u, I love those type of videos as well as TNS reactions of course! Would you consider doing ur daily vlogs again? sorry i know that it would be a lot of editing, but just vlogs and reactions once a week is amazing enough, since whatever it is, it always puts a smile on my face! Thank you!!

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Yes I am! After I finish off season 8 (my goal is to complete the season by end of November) I'll be posting a vlog a day for the entire month of December :) Thank you for all the support!

[@johnbarry2984]

Hey brit. How long does it take to make a season x

[@sofiasiciliano1663]

Regarding the final question of the video, I must admit that I miss the first seasons of the show. All the drama there was excellent. But I feel that when the new cast arrived, the program changed completely and it was not something that I liked because it was not what I was used to, a new story, new couples, new friendships, new life stories. Despite that, it exceeded my expectations, and although it is not the same cast as in the first seasons, it is a good replacement💘 My question for the next video is: would you like season 9 to appear? If yes, what would you like to happen?

I used to watch the next step from 2013 when season 1 was filmed to around 2019 when season 7 got released on television. Do you still talk to some of the actors who were playing some of the og characters (such as michelle, chloe, daniel, emily, etc) on the show?

[@pranaravi]

She obviously talks to Brennan who plays Daniel since they're like best friends, and we saw her on Brennan's youtube channel meeting up with Jennie and Victoria who play Chloe and Michelle to do dance dates a couple of weeks ago. Hope this answered answered your question.
