So, I feel like you are saying Jade has no chance because I don’t see her getting top 5 all around.
jordans energy is clearly annoying to everyone on the floor, including simone
Regarding the : Jordan over Kayla Discussion – if there ist only one WCC Member on the team that would mean Simone has only one coach available. Regarding Mental Stability etc – don’t you think it would be worth a consideration to pick a second wcc member if it’s close?
Not saying it’s fair – but to ensure the best peformance of the best overall gold contestant I’d sure take that into account
