First Look: The Not-So-Cheery World of "Cheer Perfection"
11/28/2012
As anybody who's seen the classic cheerleading movie Bring It On knows, "this is not a cheerocracy." And the girls who attend classes at Sherwood, Arkansas, Cheer Time Perfection know that better than most. That's because the people of Sherwood, Arkansas, take cheering very, very seriously; it's what makes Cheer Time Perfection a successful cheer studio, and it's also what brings the drama. Under the tough tutelage of Cheer Time co-owner Alisha Dunlap, TLC's new series Cheer Perfection shows all the screaming, tears, tough love and elaborate routines it takes to get to the top of the competitive cheerleading world.
Don't miss Cheer Perfection, debuting Wednesday, December 19 at 10|9 c.

So as a child I was always cheering from age 5-13. I say this because even in my last year of cheering in middle school, my cheer organization as most wouldn't even let us try some of the stunts that I see 6 and 7 years olds performing on this show. They usually save that stuff for high school aged cheerers. Before age 5 I had a bsuy schedule involving music and all kinds of dance. After middle school I moved towns and became more interested in making my own music.

Oh my those women are childish. They need to grw up and focus on their children. Ann is the worse ever I see. I like to watch tat show because i think the children are amazing doing, and the two coach is hard work to teach the kids. I missed that show, is it cancel/no more show?

Did I miss something? Where is this show? I hope it hasn't been cancelled!! Season hiatus? It is far better than other shows on TLC, aka Gypsy Wedding, et. al. (Good Lord! There HAS to be better reality material out there than that!)

This show is my most guilty pleasure, this and Dance Moms (was into dance/gymnastics as a kid and quit cheer in high school because I dyed my hair pink and they told me to get rid of it!). Anyway, I think this show would be way better if they focused a little more on the kids. I forget whose kid belongs to whom sometimes because they don't provide the kid's perspective in the interview format along with the "incident" they're talking about. May sound weird, but I really think it adds to the relationship dynamic instead of it just being catty, immature mom fights. Seriously, some of these ladies' emotional development stopped at 10th grade.

I love Ann!!!!!! She is my fav mom on this show!!!!!!! She speaks her mind and I respect her for that. She tells it to there face instead of behind there back:)

Ann and Andrea are obnoxious and are not good people. The way Andrea talks about people and plays both sides is shameful. Ann truly thinks the world should revolve around her. And, it's very sad to think that putting other parents or children down is how she feels good about herself. It's the same with Andrea and her "team president" title. Is that all you've got going on in your life? How about being genuinely kind? After the other mothers hear what is said about them on an episode by either Ann or Andrea, how do they bring themselves to deal with them at all?
I give great credit to Alisha and her husband. They do not get involved in all of this crazy drama and seem very supportive of the children.

Sorry, meant "what goes around, comes around".

Ann needs to remember, "what comes around, goes around". She will get hers one day. And Andrea...well, she's "alcoholic, instigating, bug eyed, Andrea". She's the reason Ann came to the birthday party that she wasn't invited to attend. Andrea said "you know you really should just show up". And Ann shows up with Andrea. Wake up Ann, the world DOES NOT revolve around you.

I love love Diamond!!! Love that smile!!!

Although Anne is something else, Andrea is a troublemaker big time. The way she was acting on the way to St. Louis was pathetic.Is that any kind of example for your children??? It's like her husband has three children. I can't believe these women behave in such a manner. The only one that acts like she has sense is the nurse. The rest of these moms are immature, shallow, and crazy!!!i am from Sherwood, AR and trust me...not all moms act like this.

The children act more like adults than the moms. These women need to grow up. They do not reflect the majority of All Star Cheer Mom.

Get rid of the Moms! Kids are amazing, and seem to have a great time. How do you lead by example . Get rid of the immature spiteful !
How Alisha puts up with this is beyond comprehension, and she needs to put her foot down. Fast!

The mean blonde does not give a good example on this show. She is an example of HOW NOT TO BE. She is very nasty and doesn't bring anything to the show. She clearly thinks she is all that and well....she is not.

Sorry...Andrea not amanda
Posted by: marla | 01/30/2013 at 10:15 PM
These moms are so immature....especially Ann and Amanda....their daughters will resent them one day
Posted by: marla | 01/30/2013 at 10:14 PM
This is like Dance Moms all over again...in the worst way possible.
Posted by: Nightmaredoll | 01/24/2013 at 01:32 PM
Its not Ann thats causing all the drama,, put Andrea in Check, she is so 2 faced!and the one that's always hurt/with glasses,, Ann should pull her kid and take her somewhere that teaches cheer!

You know, this show has turned into yet another drama based reality show. My daughters and I were so excited that a cheerleading show was on! To the extent that they bust their butts so they get to stay up late in order to watch it each Wednesday. Yet, so much time is spent on the moms! Who cares! And then to see these little clips such as when Ann goes home mad because her daughter doesn't get picked to go to Chicago. She and her husband both get made because of it, stating that Ann does all of this and that. However, they both seem to forget that its not about what the parents do, its about how well the girls cheer!
Are these really the women who are role modeling for these kids?
