Cleo is struggling 😬⚡

[@juliawilliams789]

yesss I would love to see the pilot reaction!! it’d be so cute to see how young all of the cast were and how the original premise of the show was created like the foundations of it, because if it wasn’t for the pilot, we would have no ‘nationals is right around the corner’, no jiley, no tissues for our issues, no 1 million dramatic dance battles, no white walls, no talking heads, no juice bar/ cafe/ social setting that changes every season, no one walking into studio 1 or A whilst another dancer is doing a solo, no shawarmas, no alternate drama and no dance captains. I’m sure there’s a whole lot more, the list can go on, but I would love to see the pilot! 🤞🏼🫶🏼

[@CMThota]

She already did one. It's called Riley reacts to Riley - Ep 1 :)

[@juliawilliams789]

@@CMThota nope, we’re referring to the pilot episode which is the first ever concept of TNS they filmed way back in 2011 I think…

[@ItsZachPlayz_]

I'll never forget everyday in late 2020 just waiting for your daily reactions to season 7. Love the videos

[@legodobby0693]

may peace be with you ❤

[@jrlombardi5251]

This was the first time Izzy (or someone) says they go by they/them, last season they were called (even by themselves) as she/her, so it makes sense you didn't know, you didn't have a way to, so don't worry about that

[@phoebe3575]

honestly my favourite thing about you is that you’re just completely unapologetically yourself

[@elle_watches]

I deffintly wanna see the pilot reaction that would be so fun

[@zdcosner3766]

24:00 - It was Season 7. I remember you were rooting for Nick and Emily to get together during that time. The show even teased the idea of them later on in the season with the episode where Emily got a secret admirer. She assumed it was Nick only to later discover it was Michelle who was her secret admirer as she sent her gifts, love letters and food. It was funny seeing your reaction to that episode because I remember you desperately hoping for it to be Nick. When I first watched it, I thought Hunter was gonna be Emily’s secret admirer but I was wrong too lmao. Loved your reaction to the Nick and Moxxie flirtation scene. It’s great to have Shad in this season too. I’ll list a few questions here as you request at the end of the video. Do you have a personal favourite song or music piece in The Next Step? What do you think is the best season for your character, Riley? And thirdly, are there any characters that you wish your character Riley interacted more with?

[@MylesDobson]

References Inside in previous video, goes three layers deep reacting to the reaction to the reaction this week. Classic

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Wait until next week, where I pull a Christopher Nolan and I infiltrate Nick's dreams to finally give him control over his studio.

[@MylesDobson]

@@BrittanyRaymondOfficial I think that's everyone's dream, let's be honest

[@emilyburgess_]

Questions: If you didnt play riley, who would you want to play? What was your fav season to film? Who were your fav people to film scenes with?

[@bobbs6149]

I was the biggest next step fan growing up. Without the show I don’t know if I would still be involved in performing arts today, so I can’t describe how nostalgic your videos are for me. Although I feel too old now, it will always hold a special place is my heart. Thank you for this, you seem amazing! ❤

[@ryanchung8892]

I love that you mentionned Alex Chaves and her acting. She has a mini vlog series talking about her progression on the show, and how this season she worked a lot on intention, both in dancing and the acting side ❤

[@mimifurtek6956]

also you mention in the video that you danced for joanne chapman school of dance, if i remember correctly wasn’t that a competitor at nationals s2. i assumed the other studios were made up but that’s so cool!

[@marg.00]

Man i love you brit, and i wish all the original j-troupers would have a reunion special

[@swaggsterfrfr]

I still hear “weee, we are gonna show the someone arials” from when you did your own intro

[@caoimhehall5750]

No you should deffo say s2 of Riley reacts🎉

[@angelseeuns]

would for sure love to see the pilot reaction!!!

[@amelia_naomi]

This episode of s8 gave me so much deja vu to s1 and s2 I loved it sm. love your reaction as always. You always make me laugh 😂😂😂❤❤

[@stcharlmax]

Did anyone else realise that the studio Brit danced in with Brennan before tns was also in nationals in season 2

[@edwardhulse]

Riley Reacts! Season 8 Episode 3! Let’s go! Also Daft Punk’s music is so catchy and Chateau Laurier is definitely on my shows I need to-watch list!😆🙌🏻

[@marinelefebure5861]

I like the idea of you answering a question at the end and definitlyI think you and brennan should react to the pilot !

[@oliviawilson495]

QUESTION: Do you think teenage girls in dance studios have the same attitude of not caring how they look as you did when you were a teenager, or do you think that the way things have evolved since then (eg 13 year old girls wearing crop tops, makeup (that is well done and not just blue eyeshadow), spending so much time on social media, being constantly exposed to influencers who look amazing all the time)) has influenced how much dancers care about being "made up" during rehearsals?

[@kelowna77]

I DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE THAT UNAIRED PILOT!!!

[@ana_theatre]

THE PILOT TEST PLEASE!

[@luciedow1542]

I remember seeing you on the tour in Glasgow 2015 I think and I asked you question in the q&a little 8 year old me didn’t stop talking about it, 17 year old me loves the nostalgia of these videos ❤❤

[@Mimi-of6sn]

I would definitely want to see that pilot!

[@samarakrieger]

Could you please talk about how having TNS as your first acting job informed your acting style, particularly in the way that mockumentary shows and films are few and far between? Love the new profile picture btw👌🏽. Truly some top tier stuff right there.

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

I'm going to try and answer this in a future video, stay tuned and thank you for your question!

[@JH-Wood]

Another fantastic reaction!! Can't wait until we eventually get you reacting to season 4 - would love to know what you think of how much Riley changed

[@tropicalbeaches]

In a video once with Brennan you mentioned how Riley was Rachel from friends with all her haircuts. Any crazy haircut stories? I remember being really shocked at your hair when season 2 aired. Btw you literally suited every hairstyle.

[@paorah4873]

I can't believe she has her own channel, I'll watch every video ❤. You look so beautiful 😍😍

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Thank you so much :)

[@zariakoopman914]

Everyone wants to see the pilot reaction!!!!

[@lucybeth2405]

Love reaction Sundays ❤ and yes the original Pilot would be a cool reaction

[@alizapalmer303]

Hii, I just wanted to say that besides the actual content of your reactions, I also love your editing style! -also, that bookcase is amazing-

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Oh thank you!

[@shaquanlewis83]

Britt - you are literally the coolest, the best, the realist, genuine, most talented ever and i just love you 4 life!!!! ❤

[@margohansonhighkingsupreme7279]

thank you for releasing these whenever i hv an assignment due. i love painting/drawing to these

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Glad you like them!

[@zariakoopman914]

I remember hearing somewhere that the original main couple was meant to be James and Michelle, what made the writer's decide against that and what made them decide it should be Riley and James instead?

[@Kyleeeeeeeee]

I can’t remember where I heard this but I think the writers saw Brittany and Trevor together and thought they looked good together

[@EB-fb2sv]

I would love to see the pilot!

[@hafsarehman8544]

OMG BRITT I would do anything to see you react to the pilot.

[@jackappleton2795]

I've been watching repeats of the show on CBBC and they're currently on season 4. It''s interesting to see Riley go from dancer to studio head and how it stresses her out at first.

[@disguisedhamstergames8299]

Also loved you in chateau Laurier, got lost in places but still was enjoyable to watch

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Thank you for watching!

[@mimifurtek6956]

PLEASE can we see the pilot omg

[@phoebe3575]

these editing issues are giving me total war flashbacks to my final year of uni during covid where our theatre performances had to be small group screen performances instead, and a whole section of my group’s performance would not play properly, like i could only get the audio working, and we couldn’t refilm it at that point (eventually managed to fix it thank god, but it took a good four hours of group stress)

[@yung_cxt1678]

that seems so confusing thanks for all the work u put in these vids 12:45

[@vhshorrormovies1978]

thank you for the Izzie apology! It was a bit uncomfortable last week and i’m glad you caught it and are now doing better with it :)

[@those_2preppys_]

WAITTT JOHAN CHAPMANS SCHOOL OF DANCE WAS AT NATIONALS SEASON 2 😮😮😮

[@hollyiscool]

would you ever do a tier list of some sort of all the "ships" across all the seasons? that would be super fun!

[@tobichls]

What was the process like rehearsing and filming "The Hard Way" trio in season 4 (with James and Alfie disappearing)?

[@xxitactical_8723]

Everybody knows the og cast is the goat cast.

[@dancingsun2]

Omg definitely do a video watching the pilot episode if you're able to!!

[@kkristyan]

Thought the title was talking about cleo from australianaires LMAO

[@edwardhulse]

What was the most challenging but rewarding routine you had to learn for the next step?

[@gerhardfromspainnn5963]

The next step directors didn’t see james and rileys chemistry, but how come when you and brennan have such good chemistry irl didn’t get casted together?

[@eszterbove5287]

Yass Brit! thank you so much for the vid! Love it! 😀

[@ibtisambhojani5345]

Omg it's so interesting that the producers said you looked like Emma Watson, I can definitely see that! This is a random question but if there was a storyline you could add to the next step (just like the Riley one was added), what would it be and how would you go about executing it into whichever season it'd be a part of?

[@mimifurtek6956]

also would love love to hear your stories etc about s1

[@aaronjohnston2731]

Btw I love your vids so much they make me laugh smm riley was one of my favs ❤️

[@aylii]

i love these videos so much!!!

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Thank you!

[@zariakoopman914]

How did they get Alexandra Beaton in to play Emily, because I know Logan Fabbro played Emily and then was later recast as Amanda, so was Alex at the second round of auditions, because I remember hearing that she was brought in more for her acting ability than her dancing ability?

[@unknownvv4924]

WE NEED THE PILOT REACTION!

[@folkloree13]

i would love to watch the pilot reaction ❤

[@jacklaing993]

Would love to see that pilot episode

[@thejeffcastofficial]

I love how britt doesnt have a clue about anyones name😂

[@jhonneclay125]

I love yours reactions brit❤️❤️ miss u on tns, and i need to know, alexandra (emily) still dancing? Because the real last dance of her was on 2 season

[@sharlenekirpal1203]

If u didn't get chosen to play Riley, then what would u do for a living? (if u weren't an actor?)

[@IceSquadd]

Have you ever had any real love interest irl in one of ur cast members on TNS!?!?

[@speedyhaley884]

Hi I absolutely love your youtube videos and you such a great actor

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

Thank you!

[@eleanorhesketh6117]

how long did it take to make connections with all of the actors/actresses in tns and who were you most connected to (apart from people who you already knew prior to being on the show)

[@catieschrager5282]

Using Ariana as a meanie is Genius

[@SterreTH]

I really wanted to see season 8 before watching your reactions, but I cannot watch it anywhere here in The Netherlands 😢 So I’m just gonna watch your vids

[@elizabethadkins757]

I would love to watch the pilot

[@randomname1481]

Which tns cast members do you stay in touch with? (other than brennan obviously)

[@mimifurtek6956]

also what was your favourite dance to perform on TNS and do you have a separate fav (one you weren’t necessarily in but love anyway) 🫶🏻

[@rebeccalgagersimonsen2207]

I would love to see react to the pilot

[@hattyg123]

would LOVE to see the pilot!!!!

I wanna watch Chateau Laurier but its not available where i am 😭

[@marshmellaaaaa6317]

Question: Do you stay in touch with any of the TNS members? If so, which ones?

[@gerhardfromspainnn5963]

YES FIND THE PILOT EPISODE

[@Charlotte-uj6jt]

Idk if you’re going to see this but honestly if you reply it will seriously make my day (I’ve had a really bad day as well so hopefully that proves how much this means to me). Also I don’t think you saw my question ideas for your q&a and I just wanted you to see some of them and hopefully put them in the vid if you haven’t already filmed it: - Is it easy having Sauble in an apartment? - What TNS choreo do you still remember (if any)? - Do you prefer to play characters that are very similar or very different to you? - What advice would you give to non-actors trying to make a low budget show with few people involved? If you read this, tysm! :)

[@andreia8980]

love your pfp ahah icon

[@namakaushebo2900]

Me listening to Britt ask if any of us have watched the first four seasons of the next step me be like I wouldn't even be watching this or even know her if not for the next step. Oh and does anyone know where I can find season 8 and 7 of the next step I can't seem to find it reply below.

[@matildangelica]

When you were on the show, what was the hardest dance to learn and why?

[@potracabbie]

What was the most hardest episode to film on the seasons you where on?! also luv ur content 💗

[@folkloree13]

love your reaction sm ❤

[@aishabegum]

Was there any real competition between you and the og dancers since you was/have competed against opposing studios?

[@disguisedhamstergames8299]

Yesss, I’ve been loving ur reactions and got the notification and got straight out of bed who cares if it’s 2am in Australia it’s worth it (third)

[@paularaymond4606]

Hey, yes it was your mom in the car with you and we were yelling and screaming in the car on the 401 for the rest of the ride ❤

[@BrittanyRaymondOfficial]

I can confirm this is a reputable source, seeing that you are in fact my mom ❤

[@mimifurtek6956]

i’ve literally asked a million questions on this video already but do you still dance? x

[@channeloft]

23:02 😭😭

[@jaidacarr573]

What was it like to dance at ur studio when you danced there

[@edith8647]

hey! any book recommendations for actors that are working on naturalism/screen acting? thanks x

[@The_Umpteenth_Doctor]

If you HAD TO react to another series or movie, what would you choose?

[@freckles4603]

Are you planning on continuing the season 1 reactions ? ♥️

[@Catherine-Grace]

30:57 definitely find the pilot

[@noahmanheimjoza8292]

So you and Brennan went on the Auditions together? Not at the same time, but you know what you mean!

[@amelia_naomi]

Do you prefer the early seasons (seasons 1-3) or do you prefer the later seasons (5-8) and why?

[@babygirl-1895]

S1-3 and s6

[@SA-ft4gu]

Will you finish reacting to season 1?

[@mirellefolkersma8924]

If you could make your own A troupe with the characters from all seasons wich of the characters would you choose? choose up to 12 characters wich inlcudes 2 alternates and 1 dance captain.

[@yung_cxt1678]

do u plan on watching any other seasons after 8 beacause i really love these vids keep up the good work
