CA Wildcats: Howie Mandel Calls Texas Cheer Team The American Version of V. Unbeatable (Champions)

[@Stormy-jr6br]

At 1:51 one of the athletes does a DOUBLE BACKFLIP!! That's INSANE!!! They pulled off level 7 skills and some that aren't even allowed in all star cheerleading! This team is INCREDIBLE and did this entire routine in masks!

[@lilbit2870]

That double back was insane! Especially since it's on a dead mat.

[@lilbit2870]

@Ethan Eblen I digress you were right. I mixed that up with their audition on a dead mat.

[@lilbit2870]

@Ethan Eblen ofcourse it wasn't. I'm 0 for 2 now. Fml! 😫🤦‍♀️

[@bradyquinnn]

just for non cheerleaders to understand, their first performance was level 6 with some level 5 skills and some level 7 skills... most skills in this routine are not allowed in any levels they innovated and invented skills JUST for this routine

[@carolinemerkl7547]

Yeah I sometimes forget on the show they can do whatever they want🤣

[@souljourneyer2580]

Thank you for saying this, because I knew that they had upped routine from last time, because I had seen things that looked new and more difficult. Thank you for explaining why oh, I'm quite certain I have not seen some of those moves before. 😯

[@_adrianavelez]

Exactly yessssss

[@glukoagkalitsas]

Can you explain a bit more (yes I know there is a Google... but you seem to know your stuff)

[@rachelhickman3502]

@@glukoagkalitsas Allstar cheer, which is what they are, don't allow for backtuck baskets, full baskets, etc. Collegiate level cheer will, but not allstar cheer. Because they were on a show they were able to do it, it would be illegal for a normal allstar routine. Putting a stunt on top of a stunt is also not something allstar cheer is able to do legally. They went above and beyond allstar cheer. The skills they threw were harder than all or most college routines.

When Howie implied that he didn’t think it was better than last time I threw my phone and yelled at him! This routine isn’t even a level!!! This was beyond anything I have ever seen!!!

My favorite thing about this team being able to show off their skills outside of a competition setting is that they get to throw all of the restrictions out the window! It makes for a more eye catching and jaw dropping routine, and they’re truly able to push the limits of their athletic capabilities. What I’m saying is, I love what they are doing and this is unlike anything I’ve seen in cheer, in the best way!!!

[@carolynhough5854]

Any body else catch that? 3:43 listen closely you hear Howie go “I’ve been judging a lot longer than you” to Sophia. He’s been bothering me lately

[@dylanadams8588]

I heard it too and I got so triggered, that’s literally the only reason that I’m in the comment section right now

[@souljourneyer2580]

I think he's drinking more or something because of the covid think he's upset to be honest. It really gets to me that, his critical judging of the acts erroneously, is what's affecting the outcome in a negative way. Last time, he thought everyone was great and the acts that were the best got through. The time before he was super critical and I swear they missed 3 great acts in the lineup. Sometimes, I think he thinks he's going to try to be like Simon and sees him as critical but the thing is that when it comes to this point Simon usually doesn't say too much because he knows it's America's vote. He also usually says, it's not up to me it's up to America. I think that he said something like this two episodes back to. He criticized Keenan's choice and saying that someone was precise and he said that he didn't know what precise was when he saw this other act they were precise. I totally disagreed! That was one of the best dancing acts I had seen and I'm always watching world of dance. Then what happened? That act didn't go through. (the one that did, I'm sorry, but it was obvious they made two mistakes that were pretty strong).

[@Ali-so2xd]

Is howie blind like- their last routine was literally like level 6 with a few level 7 baskets thrown in but this was a full level 7 (plus somethings you can’t even do in all star cheer as a whole!) and he didn’t see the improvement

[@alyssaboyerr]

fr they created level 8 just for this routine and if howie was rlly interested in all star like he said he was when judging their first performance he would’ve known that this is wayy harder

[@aliyahparsons5782]

can I just say... they did a full out on the FIRST day of learning this routine, had 3 practises before the went on national television. this is absolutely phenomenal!

[@lol-mo5hj]

I feel like they weren’t judge correctly, similarly to gymnastics a lot of cheerleading skills that aren’t meant to look way easier then they are, and judges at competition know what it takes, but these judges have no idea what they just witnessed was literally one of the hardest routines in all star cheerleading history, multiple flyerovers, so many baskets, A DOUBLE BACKFLIP like how’re you better check them eyes hun.

this is way harder than v unbeatable. it adds tumbling (which v unbeatable don’t do), technique, strength (yes, because they don’t lift 12 year old little boys, they lift WOMEN). watch v unbeatable, they can’t even do a double back tuck basket or tumbling pass. they can’t do a double pike front flip from prep level- and kneeling on top of that. you have no idea what you’re talking about and it shows.

[@peanutbrain4187]

THAT IN A MASK? A

[@marcos7801]

There was a lot of flipping in this routine and less height acrobatics and death-defying drops like in their audition. I agree though with Sofia V that what they do isn't easy and requires hard training,but they need to step it up imo.

[@Jessels15]

They where literary doing a 3 high stunt, double tuck basket and other elements that aren't even allowed in all star cheer and tumbling is a big part of a cheer routine. Their last performance was a level 6 routine, with some level 7 baskets but also level 5 elements. So I don't now what you just watched, and maybe it's because this time their baskets and pyramid elements weren't highlighting by making it a slowmo, but they definitely stept it up.

[@RotisserieiJamie]

@@Jessels15 that's this person's opinion.

[@AD-ry7br]

@@RotisserieiJamie Well some people's opinions are just objectively wrong. Per example that they refer to as the "death defying drop" is a skill many cheerleaders with 2-3 years of training can do (maybe not as well executed but still). It was just made more impressive than it really is with the slow mo (the camera work really was bad on this new performance). Meanwhile, what they did in this one is so dangerous the federation straight up banned many of these skills from any competition (including worlds). In terms of difficulty comparison, this routine is to the rest of the cheer industry what Simone Biles is to elite gymnastics.

[@taradiddledubs9850]

Well i appreciate their talent...but they r more of acrobats then dancing.If u have seen v unbeatable acts u would have noticed that all the acrobatics were in the back and the dance was always going in front but wild cats they just did the acrobatics to 95% and dance to 5%.
