Sprite Step Off

[Senusret I]

I liked them, but:

1) They were not better than the Tau Chapter AKAs.
2) Their routine was derivative of many other organization's steps.
3) The judges were not Greek.
4) The judges were by and large not experts in stepping, or in some cases, dance.

Interesting, because for the one that I went to in Chicago, the judges were from D9 organizations. It was my understanding that this was the case for other shows as well. I wonder why the switch-up for the National finals. :neutral:

@ the part in bold: I think that was my biggest gripe with the performance.
As for your 3 and 4, I agree that this is problematic. I have a low tolerance for these types of things when they bring in celebrities to judge who really have no knowledge or experience in the particular area they are judging. Makes me question their credibility in making these decisions.

Kind of like Ellen being an AI judge. Love her to death, but I don't think she knows anything about music and singing.
