The Zetas and Sigmas kicked it hard and deserved to win

They did show the AKAs. Theirs was an AKABarbie theme. They chose what has to be the most freaking annoying song ever for their entrance: Aqua's "Barbie Girl". :eek: If I'm not mistaken it was their Alpha Phi chapter? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I didn't get to see the Alphas.

Does Any1 Know the Chapter name or what School the Sigmas and Zetas who won is?:confused:

Zetas were from Philly and Sigmas were from Jersey, I don't think they stated the chapter just the location

The only two groups who I did not see perform were Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha. I'm not sure if this is becasue I tuned in late (7:07, so I doubt it), or if those two performances were cut. I can't call it, but the rest of the show was decent.

Also, saw a couple of previews for Stomp the Yard. I'm torn.

ETA: From the comments in the GL forum, I must have simply missed the Alphas and AKAs. Dangit!

Yeah it was a two episode show, the Alphas and AKAs were shown in the last minutes of the first episode.

I saw it all. The airing started with practices and preps and then went into the competition. Basically I thought it was boring, although I do agree with who the winners were.

I would like to know how the competitors were chosen, because if they represented the best than lawd help us.

Ejaffe was that you in the middle of the front line of the military step team? You all were good!

And Shid, leave my soror alone. :D

I'm thinking this was really shown as promo for the movie Stomp The Yard.

Yes, that was me. We were not in the competition. The army(Stomping on the Yard) sponsors us.

I agree!! I stopped watching in the middle of a performance. I know some off the chain step teams that really know how to put it down, primarily on the DST wavelength.

I am convinced that by 2020 someone will try to make stepping an Olympic competition.

I didn't like it. The documentary part was GREAT. The camera angles and editing on the performances were all wrong.

I expected this to be filmed how they film cheerleader competitions, with maybe three cameras, NOT SEVENTEEN MILLION! Too many transitions were missed and you didn't get the sense of uniformity.

And Keshia Knight Pulliam's voice is worse that the sound of cats having sex.

It was ok and it was good to watch for a Saturday night. I agree with Senusret's part about the editing. I was thinking the same thing, especially went the Alphas performed. And leave Soror Keisha alone! :D :p

I really have two beefs with the program. They followed all the other teams around but why they did not follow the sorors from USC Upstate/Furman/Wofford/Converse? I would like to know what it took for them to get there too! :mad: And also, WHERE WERE THE IOTAS????:confused:

I co-sign with Soror LG with most of this. It was OK, but could have been a whole lot better. I also know way better teams that some of the ones represented. And why everyone except the Omegas were from the East Coast? They shold have gotten some from other regions.

And they kept showing Stomp The Yard promos over and over again. I think ESPN will show this again when it gets closer to the movie release. And for those of you who have ESPNU they will air it again tonight at 8:30.

Does anyone know if the program will re-air? I missed it yesterday.

i watched the step show. i wish they they showed more of the actual competition. damn too slow to get to the good parts.

I know you had mentioned that on here and PP. So it was the Unknowns being sponsored by the Army? .
