Who's seen Cheer on Netflix?!
I've never cheered before (I was in marching band...) but watching this series made me want to go back in time and maybe take some classes. People have fallen head over heels for the entire Navarro Cheer team, but Gabi Butler is the true celebrity of the bunch! Every single cheerleader across the country knows who she is and has watched her compete for years.
However, Gabi's greatness may have been overshadowed by her parents' strict ways and overbearing nature.
At one point, her mom even told her to eat jackfruit instead of an egg so she could stay full for the rest of the day (it apparently keeps you full for 12 hours?) and forego other meals while training. There were definitely some interesting moments, including one where the couple bickered on-camera while discussing Gabi's career.
Gabi addressed it during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with the rest of her team members. She talks about it at the 3:40 mark in the video.
What do you think?
Gabi is AMAZING either way! She's obviously worked incredibly hard to build the career that she has. I'm a huge fan.
