Hellcats

Are you a fan of Bring It On! or Step Up 2? If you are, then this is the show for you! This comedy-drama series is about Marti (Alyson Michalka), who is a lawyer student at a college called Lancer; Lancer is located in Memphis, Tennessee. Marti is a serious student that wants to be successful and graduate college, but she looses her scholarship which is what is keeping her in school. Marti must now find a new way to stay in college, which she does by entering cheerleading tryouts for the school’s cheerleading team, Hellcats. If she makes the cheerleading team, then she gets a new scholarship and stays in school. Of course Marti makes it and she is introduced into a totally different world: Cheertown!
I like the characters in this show. In the beginning, I thought that my favorite character would be Marti, but she turned out to be a very big cliche character. The character that I ended up liking most is Savannah (Ashley Tisdale). Savannah is the cheerleading captain of the Hellcats. In the beginning of the series, Savannah looks like she would be the snobby queen-bee, but she turned out to be the complete opposite. She has a bubbly personality and is loyal to her teammates. Savannah’s actions really surprise me because she’s very benevolent. There was an event in the story where the Hellcats had to compete against the Volleyball team to prove that they are athletes too. Marti couldn’t attend this competition because her academic class had a trip which was very important for her education. Knowing that Marti is only using cheerleading to get a scholorship in her education and is choosing the success in herself rather than the team, Savannah doesn’t reveal this to the team. This shows her loyalty to Marti and how she understands Marti’s situation. Not only does this show have unique characters, but it’s very entertaining to watch the world of cheerleading and their routines. I totally recommend this TV show! :)
