Eldon's writing here with him constantly trapped in the past and always talking about his team and what they did to the point of being mean the this team feels like a reflection of the fandom tbhđ
đ literally
Omg I thought that too đ
Reallllll
I like that they're making Anthony a lot more likeable this season
In my opinion, Pete is really standing out as a senior dancer. Every dance he's in, I feel he stands out, especially in the 9b opening dance. I hope he's featured at Internationals.
No full team again...giving me season 7 vibes.
Completely agree about the auditions, they need to give an explanation why some dancers are just cut from potential feature dances! Heath for example, so under utilised, it's a shame.
Season 9 tns writers be like: Yeah you know your bro Eldon. The man the myth the legend... Yeah, lets make him suck this season.
You will see next episode why he did what he did
He kinda sucked in previous seasons ngl. Like heâs always kinda been a brat
â@@Djantman03 fr and I'm okay with that, that's his character. he's been mostly in character this season, apart from calling internationals to say tns is bad but that was just silly in general
Eldon has kinda always sucked lmao, people just tends to remember the ogs in their best times bc of the simple fact of them being og and remembering the best moments bc it's the moments they liked the most. Eldon wasn't liked that much when he was a main character in the first three seasons, had some fans sure, but not many. Everyone just got crazy about him now bc he's from the begining but the moment they start to show again his personality and not just being there for 5 minutes, everyone sees how he is and the bubble breaks so believe it's new when it's not.
@@jrlombardi5251when u think about it literally whoâs fav character was Eldon - He was for sure the best dancer in earlier seasons but that was it
i like how they have like an eldon figure throughout the series in Gen 1 it was Eldon Gen 2 it was Noah and now in Gen 3 i feel like they are setting it up to be Anthony which i really like
Imagine if they brought back bangers and mash ups with Henry Kingston and Ozzy
Everyone: "I want the OGs back"
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE OGS COME BACK
Eldon needs to leave rn!
Frfr
not really, i mean imo the OGs can be written differently lol, like whenever Michelle comes back I don't hate it đ
it's just how the writers are writing the character but tbh i do agree I've hated eldon in season 9 up until episode 17 where more is explained.
@@juliawilliams789tbh Eldon is kinda a lot⊠he broke up with Michelle over a dance battle⊠đđđđ
@@sunshine1016 stopp that's true đ
Eldon was never that of a loved character and he's one of the least ppl mention as his favorite, most of them just get crazy about him coming back bc he's an original but his personality is showing again thanks to actually having him as a permanent character here and people is just seeing again the attitudes they (mostly) truly never liked from him. It's like breaking their bubble.
I think everyone needs to give Anthony and Adele some grace⊠this is Adeleâs first season and Anthony very much likes her and Adele kinda likes him back⊠itâs just kinda awkward to watch because they are both young teens⊠they arenât James and Riley who had 3 seasons of development leading up to their final dance at Internationals⊠they just havenât been given development yet since Adeleâs introduction episode in episode 3⊠i personally think they are really cute based off of how similar they are⊠they are both quite reserved and kinda disciplined but show a silly side to each other â€ïž I hope Season 10 progresses on them and we see more of them together â€ïž
Eldon says: The only reason James and Riley won is because they were in looooooove
Eldon, are you going to force them to be like that?
Okay, only couples get to do duets... yep
I really want there to be a bit where Anthony is really stressed with maybe coreographing alone and has something like a pannic attack or something like that and Nick sees and finally stands up to Eldon, who raises he went to far taking his anger out on a child
It's sad Nick wasn't in these eps bc he's such a dad with his dancers, he would have defended them and treated them so good
Pete and Jett definitely had the best duet out of the pairings! The way they were sync with each other was really fun to watch and there was a really good flow to their duet once they sorted out their connection. I thought Ebby and Niallâs duet was okay but lacked a bit of energy from the start. And while I love the chemistry between Anthony and Adele, their duet felt a bit underbaked with the lifts feeling a bit too safe and the bench prop felt a bit interrupting but the potential is definitely there.
Theyâre definitely setting up Kenzieâs future and that scares me because Iâm not ready for her to go. Sheâs the last thread of the previous A-Troupe. I still hope she chooses Internationals before deciding on going to audition on tour with Freya. She led her team to Nationals and now Internationals so it would suck if she didnât actually participate in it. Iâd rather she decide on her future after Internationals is over. But theyâre definitely setting up the seeds with both her and Ethan (in the last episode with Piper) leaving and Iâm so not ready to lose them yet.đ
The Eldon and Anthony drama was juicy. I actually think itâs definitely in character for Anthony to snap because he does that a lot when he bottles up his emotions. A bit of a nice parallel with Olive snapping at Ariana for both the solo and betrayal but Iâm glad they made up quickly. But I knew Eldon was gonna take him off the duet! Heâs so petty! Lmao! This definitely made me question further in what on earth is going on with Eldon but episode 17 perfectly explains his behaviour and I canât wait to see your reaction to it. And the upcoming return of Michelle!đ The Nick and Olive scene was nice too. Not a bad episode but the next episode is definitely better.
Girll your t-shirt reminds me of Olive wears in her talking head lol
wait ur right lmao
Omg yeah đ
I got mad when I was watching this episode and at the end Eldon cut Anthony from the duet but now I understand why he did it because of episode 17
Iâm really interested if they will show clips of other countries dancing at internationals, because they did show quite a few different countries dancing for the home field advantage whilst the globe was spinning. So I really hope they donât deprive us of them when internationals starts, cause otherwise it wonât really feel like internationals if it was just Canada and France shown đ
3 things:
1. I feel like this is the second time in a row where the first half of the season is really good and is showing promise and the second half is more messy, I can cut S8 some slack since it's a new A troupe with less eps to work with but not S9.
2. I think this is the 1st time this season that Nick has talked to a new A trouper 1 on 1 and not in a group and said something of real substance.
3. What Eldon did to Anthony and Adele was pure SPITE and I don't recall him ever being spiteful and I'm very tempted to call it character assassination even with what happened next ep, but I'll speak on that on the next video.
Did you see on the international's video they showed the palestine flag!! So happy
YESS Iâm so happy theyâre acknowledging it! Also, didnât expect other fans to mention it as wellđđđ”đž
YESSS I SAW THE FLAG ASWELL AND I WENT CRAZY đ„čâ€ïžđ€đđ€đ”đž
Overall they were really diverse with the countries for this internationals, last internationals was mainly Europe and first world countries so Iâm really glad they are showing countries that arenât usually heard of
I was so happy when I saw that, I really wasnât expecting them to do that but Iâm so glad they did
â @@enderhd375we had Jamaica and Ghana off the top of my head
Eldon has been so insanely immature I can't believe at his grown age he's acting like he's still a teen. I am so excited to see your reaction to the next episode, though, I have many thoughts about Eldon.
The thing about Anthony this as been building up for episodes so it makes sense for him to finally explode
And then 30 seconds later you said the exact same thing đ
PETITION TO GET BEN TO CHOREOGRAPH MORE ROUTINES LIKE THE PETT DUET
I had the same reaction, how does nick know its been bumpy in A Troupe đđ
I really liked Episode 16 for setting up the next episode. I love Anthony & Adele (Andele) đ„șâ€ïžand Eldon in this episode was a lot đ im glad that Anthony told him off I canât imagine how scary it wouldâve been for him đ„Č
I think they are super cute and I hope they do develop into something special đ
Eldon, we know you...
If you don't like someone, just dance battle them already. I mean, you're perfectly fine with doing that, as we have experienced.
i recon adele and anthonys choreo will get stolen by france bc of ebby
i agree like why wasn't everyone considered for the duet, it's so not fair like if i was heath, and i was the most senior male on a troupe, id want to be considered to either be the soloist or be considered to be in the duet, like they won nationals bc of his contribution with daisy's duet too. eldon was sooo pissing me off until ep 17 i just couldn't understand but i guess ep 17 explains more about why he's like that so not too mad abt it in a way. i definitely think they should have said who Freya is like imagine being a Canadian viewer and not knowing who Freya is, like im sure they explained who Dytto was in season 6, so im sure they could have done the same lol. i think this will be kenzie's exit, mostly because of how they set up exits on the next step it always starts with someone auditioning for something external to the team in most cases đ
only 5 more eps to go nowww
Everything you say it's correct but to be exact, Heath wouldn't have wanted the duet tho, he said after Daisy left he thinks his duet days are behind him and the only duet partner he allows is Pascale, with who he can't compete.
Ofc Eldon doesn't know that tho so he should have given the opportunity tho, it just feels like season 3 again with Miss Kate even doing stuff like giving the international solo to Riley out of screen bc she just decided it would be her, like wtf was that.
@@jrlombardi5251heath never said that-..
@@dontcare444 they said that if they were Heath they would have liked to be considered for the duet, I just wanted to clarify why he doesn't want the duet in particular (bc he did say what I wrote in my other comment), that's all. It's not a critique or anything, I was just trying to share nicely.
@@jrlombardi5251 oh
These new episodes are not hitting the same - I like that there's more Anthony but I thought that this season Heath, Daisy, Izzy and Kenzie would have bigger storylines. I feel like they should have been highlighted more than Ariana, who is new, but I still like her character. Just not what I expected for this season.
19:52 âgo home Oliveâ LMAO đ
oohhh anthony's eyes in the end!! can we just get rid of eldon and get michelle now to be the internationals consultant? there needs to be a resolution here 'cause eldon really is not a good leader like that. he's great at choreographing but leading the team, nope. i feel like the first half of the season was great as it focused on ariana's plot, but the moment they shifted to internationals "preparations" they lose their footing. like they cant seem to know how to handle these scenes already. no grown ups deciding what to do (yes at this point im not thinking of eldon as a grown up). even the entire internationals is so weird. sure they want something new and fresh maybe but seriously it's not giving anything at all.
Sidenote, I wish CBBC would work a lil more to get TNS in the US somewhere. It sucks not being able to watch new episodes easily.
Cbbc just buy the show for the uk, it's up to TV channels if they want to buy it and air it :)
@mockingariana3 Oooh ok, thank you for clarifying. That is heartbreaking though, I feel like TNS would do really well on certain US platforms if they gave the show a chance.
Girlie, ur top looks sm like Olives talking head!
I can't imagine any of these people doing the duet. I guess the last time at internationals the stakes were very high (since it was a tie breaker and not just a "normal duet") and Jiley's duet was very emotional and it was kind of the end of an era. I don't think another A-troupe will be able to get to that point again if that makes sense đ€
The thing is that all the characters are pretty new, and Jiley at internationals had a 3-season otp buildup, so none of them will be able to get to that level of connection by the end of the season but that's not necessarily because of bad dancers/characters (they just haven't had enough time to develop yet)
@@randomname1481 Yes thatâs true. I really wanted the second gen be the ones to go to internationals this time, because we knew them. Watching these guys dance I feel nothing because I donât really care tbh.
@@matildangelicaliterally!! we couldâve had a finner and piper duet or an amy and henry duet like it was completely unnecessary to take them all out
same with Noah and Richelle's last duet. I can't blame the new cast, they're doing the best with their circumstances. Wish Daisy didn't leave because I could def see her and Heath having an emotional duet together with the same kind of feeling as them.
this ending had me FUMING đđ i love messy tv!
Would u ever consider doing a timeline of TNS because looking back now the time frame doesn't make sense
I love you Mockingariana x
loving this would love to see noah back since hes one of the only ones who havent come bac yet
have you filmed ep 17 yet? excited to see you react!
Omg sameee I am so waiting for it!!!
I completely agree with everything you said
I somewhat enjoyed the episode. I didn't like how Eldon was being disrespectful towards Adele and Anthony, mainly Anthony when he was telling Adele and Anthony that it was their turn to perform and while doing the rehearsal. Anthony was telling the truth and was honest. The Anthony Vs Eldon situation is like Eldon Vs Hunter; Eldon was being arrogant and proves that he is better than everyone else while Anthony is being humbled. I enjoyed Anthony and Adele's duet; it was incredible and the connection was there. Pete and Jett's duet was amazing, it brought the musicality. Ebby and Niall's duet was okay but it lost the connection in places of the dance. Eldon taking off Anthony of the duet was completely wrong. Even in Niall's face that he feels guilty in taking the dance away from Anthony. I love Olive and Ariana's scenes; I love their friendship. I'm glad Olive and Nick are having a heart to heart conversation. I'm glad everything was working out for Olive and Ariana. Ariana admits that she didn't want to hurt Olive or take the solo away from her was so pure and honest. I'm curious why the other dancers couldn't audition for the duet like Ariana, Olive, Ethan, Heath, and Izzy. And why the duets are partnered like that by Eldon. I think Eldon is treating like this because of how Nationals went for Eldon when AcroNation lost which is why he came back to The Next Step as the International Consultant based on how he was treating everyone; this is not a spoiler for the next episode but it's a prediction. I'm looking forward to your next reaction video.
Unrelated to the episode but Iâm going to Toronto in 2 weeks, are there any places I should go to?
The studio building đ
@@enderhd375 Lol I would have to sneak into the set somehow
rewatching season 6 in episode 20 kenzie said she spoke french, has she ever addressed this in season 9?
Before she went to France, Pete asked her what a sentence was in French
Yes, she has
really random but I had a feeling pascales big secret was that she was pregnant and thatâs why she was alternate and heath was like damn then heath would be like ily and we need to keep this baby and they would be a happy family đ
While what Eldon did was wrong and it's true that he talked a lot about chemistry just to put together two dancers he hasn't seen dance with each other, I think Niall and Adele would have good chemistry even if obviously not romantic bc at the start of the season we saw them (and Olive) spending time together in their free time, laughing while challenging each other with some dance moves and they did a great trio, so it's like we have never seen them even talk or like they don't interacte with each other. Just saying.
How often does each episode come out in the UK?
2 every Friday :)
@@mockingariana3 thank you, girl!!:)
alisha needs to be hired as season 10 director
I love the next step (Michelle and Richelle are my faves)
What if Noah came back and was the internationals consultant
Can't wait for internationals xd
What did you think of episode 17
I loved the home field advantage, as it was the only challenge that made sense tbh! I really liked the plots aswell, and the ebby plot will definitely carry on in the next few episodes
@@enderhd375did you like the Eldon montage
@@Joy-uk3ug yes!!!
TNS10WHEN
I liked the Olive and Ariana plot in this episode, and I will say, although it seems slightly out of character for someone as level-headed as Anthony to blow up at Eldon but it made sense to me because everyone has their breaking point and Eldon is just so annoying (Anthony's a better person than me, I would not have been able to tolerate Eldon for this long).
Also, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but was this the duet from the BTS that Ben choreographed?
Maybe the others arnt there because theyâre in studio a rehearsing due to them not wanting to do duets
Taken from your reactions, episode 16 is yet a confusing episode. I wonder, where the editor of the story for the season has been.
I hate eldon in this season they ruined the character thereâs no reason to be arguing with 16 year olds when ur pushing 30
Its ok episode 17 might explain stuff for you if you haven't watched it yet!
@@dansor27 I watched it I still donât think itâs a good excuse for a grown man to be like this to a bunch of kids
@@ahaha272 I agree but at least they made him act like that for a reason and didn't just make him act like that for nothing.
â@@ahaha272kinda agree to be honest. Eldon has never been the one for drama like this. He's not a spiteful character, even when things aren't going well
I dont really like adele and Anthony as a couple, because their relationship and chemistry seems very forced and couples like that dont get anywhere. Eldon talks ab the riley and james duet tiebreaker and he said thats wat adele and Anthony should do, they'll never have the same chemistry as James and Riley đ
noone will ever have the same chemistry as jiley though, theyr'e two different people so adele and anthony have their own chemistry, they don't necesserily need to have jiley's chemistry
I do like them and I really want them to workđ but yeah, I don't feel the chemistry, I'll admit!
@@didi_1238 very true
They arenât James and Riley though and this is their first season as a âcoupleâ let them actually develop
@sunshine1016 yea ik that's what eldon was talking about in ep17 that they need 'jiley' chemistry
I just thought Ozzy never auditioned for A Troupe he just joined Michelles team as she was desperate for members and when they merged he just went on A.Troupe so we will never know if Ozzy is actually A Troupe material
Season 5 ozzy could easily be on this team
@NotJobny for me in S5 and 6 he should of been in B Troupe then auditioned in Series 7 cos I think S5/6 Ozzy was not B Troupe material but S7 onwards he was
@@magnificentminion703 season 5 maybe but then again those teams were much stronger, noah henry etc were on that team, id say s6 ozzy was actually a good fit for that team and yeah from that point onwards he became much better
â@@magnificentminion703 season 5 Ozzy was way better than for example season 8 Cleo, who won soloist of the year. And in season 6 Ozzy auditioned to be the alternate and it was confirmed to us that if he wasn't distracted bc of personal issues and it was just his dance then he would have been safe, which already confirms to us he was between the 10 best dancers of A-Troupe on season 6.
@jrlombardi5251 just my opinion I think Cleo is 100 times better than Ozzy his dancing just does not engage me where as I watch Michelle,Richelle, Giselle Piper, Cleo, Jude, Finn, Henry, Kingston etc they all catch my eye
Ur so beautiful â€ïž
When i was watching this episode i was honestly so confused by eldons desicions. It seemed very out of character for him. But having watched ep 17 i understand now.
Andele
Hey x
i liked Anthony and Adele's duet not Nail because Adele does not have a conntion with Nail
Who wants Richelle back ( Briar Nolet ) đâŹïž đ
Ur đ
I think they wanted Anthony and Adele as the duet because they are going to be romantically involved. They're setting up a love story between them to make them like the new James and Riley so DUH Anthony and Adele get the duet. đ *insert facepalm here* Eldon's actions get an explanation in the next episode. đŹ
Tbh I think thatâs a good idea⊠itâs better they get development then them coming out as a couple out of nowhere
@@sunshine1016 I don't disagree, but at the same time, I also preferred Jett and Pete's duet, which is why I'm a little grr. đI liked it better, it felt sharper, more unique, I liked the tribute to his grandfather and Anthony and Adele's just didn't feel as good? Probably exacerbated by the fact that they used a bench and James and Riley's Whirlwind with a bench (and obviously Flying) was also so iconic. I preferred Jett and Pete's.đ€·
@@emilygumal4658yeah the duet imo needs to be polished before internationals but I also think that France may copy their duet hence why it wasnât so amazing! But thatâs only a theory we will see and I agree that objectively Jett and Pete had the best duet I just really like Adele and Anthonyâs cute chemistry haha
@@sunshine1016 France comes to TNS in the next episode and they don't have a single group routine, they have a not-clean duet, they have a soloist who hasn't rehearsed since she got back on the team (they're more worried about her costume and her interview than her dance), we have team members who are rehearsing with France instead of their own team members...we're doomed. đ But I think TNS is still going to win. đ
@@emilygumal4658I think due to the season being short⊠TNS wonât and that might be thanks to Grace and hopefully next season we get proper internationals đđđ
Hiii
Eldon is horrible writing a complain about them
I like this season but I do feel like the team is barely together at all. Thereâs no team unity with A troupe since s6. I do like how each character in the team has a storyline but u feel the constant changes from s7-s8 and even now in s9 has ruined the development. You can tell daisy leaving was a huge thing as the writers had to make new storylines with new characters to fill the void of her and heaths development as partners. Iâm glad Jet got a lot of development but it doesnât seem tied to the team, just her alone. Plus I wish kenzie was still there it seems she got sidelined in her own season as the main character.
This epsoide is not good Eldon was trying to help with picking the duet Why Naill . I hate that transision is bad i wanted Pete and Adele for the duet , Pete was trying to talk with his girl in France and Olive should been the soloist make ariana to be a alternate and that is what i thought and Eldon should leave TNS 9 and bring back Piper to help
what about the lifts if her limb is lost it gonna be so much harder. I think Anothony and Adele were alright for lyrical but most of the dance he just lifted Adele
Can I have a shout-out x
If u can't say it,i will,i HATE ELDON
This ep is annoying
@mockingariana3 when is your reaction video to episode 17 coming out
Most likely Wednesday!
