I convinced my friend to watch TNS, here are her reactions.

(Direct quotes)

Ok, is this a reality TV thing or all fake???

They have little name cards

This might be homophobic but it Daniel from B-Troop gay? (I imagine this question will come back after THE Daniel west duet)

Quickly followed by:Are there gays? ( the answer yes but not for 7 years was unsatisfactory)

Emily’s a bitch isn’t she

WHAT DOES ELDON SEE IN HER?!

There’s something wrong with him if he’s not gotten the hint after FIVE FLIPPIN’ YEARS!

I see what you mean by creepy... (in reference to me calling him a creepy harasser)

I hate this guy

I don’t like the whole E-girls thing

I hope Michelle de-throwns Emily

Emily: *exuding pure sass, whilst finger wagging and being DEAD SERIOUS* Do we want a drama queen in our team?

Prediction: Will Eldon start to fall for Michelle and Emily get jealous?

So anyways my friend is a physic that or she’s smarter than the ten year olds these are supposed to be plot twists for

Season 7 Episode 3 - (SPOILERS)

Due to all the new dancers we have been introduced to in this episode, like Izzy, Ethan, Marcus, Jude etc, I really hope they have some B-Troupe heavy storylines this season and actually have them interact with A-Troupe whether it just be socially or for a small group/duet. Jude really reminds me of Lola back on season 5. I’d like to see more of her. I really relate to Jude as I also have trouble with my lefts and rights and it does cause a little trouble for me. Speaking of Jude, I ship her and Cleo already. Seeing Cleo come to ask about her and if she was going to be on B-Troupe was really adorable. Onto Nick and Emily. I SHIP THEM SO HARD. I can’t be alone with that. That wink he gives her when he plays the “I own the studio” card. OH MY GOD YES! I really hope they get together by the end of the season. It would be cool to see the more “senior” people of The Next Step get together. Nick might be my favourite person this season I won’t lie. Nick looking so impressed with the dancers while Emily has the straightest face ever was really cute. Their white wall as well, Emily pushing Nick away and then taking centre stage with that hair flip. So Sassy. That and he’s just so overly excited about the dancers and auditions, it’s kind of adorable watching him interrupt Emily. Onto Ozzy, I think he is definitely going to have an Arc this season. Based on his sister being on B-Troupe and Heathcliff making A-Troupe. I hope that his and Heathcliff’s rivalry either turns into a friendship or a romance. It would be cool to see some more LQBTQ+ stories on The Next Step, we’ve been waiting since Daniel in season 1. Speaking of things we’ve been waiting for, Richelle to be dance captain. It’s been set up since Emily was on A-Troupe and gave Richelle the dance captain diary. I really hope that Richelle gets to be dance captain at some point since It’s been her dream since she was on J-Troupe. Her Rivals for dance captain being Summer and Kenzie makes perfect sense though. Kenzie since she’s Richelle’s new “Frenemy” and Summer since she’s had a Rival with her since Richelle returned from her injury last season. I don’t think Summer is the best fit for dance captain though. Summer is just far too sweet and I don’t think she can make harsh decisions that a dance captain will have to do. I am a little sad that Winnie x Ozzy didn’t end so great. I don’t want Winnie to end up like Eldon though, obsessing over one person to face constant rejection. I want her to find her own happiness. On Marcus and Ethan, It would be cool to see a broship in B-Troupe like there is in A-Troupe. I really liked this episode though. I’d give it a 7/10. I’m just excited to see where the season goes. 

TNS rewatch

Eldon was lowkey creepy persuing Emily like that for years despite the fact she had interest in him and then dating her immeaditely after she went through such a rough time emotionally
