Chapter 9 really got under my skin. First of all, it's just common sense not to let personal emotions cloud your judgment. No matter how angry someone might be, it's absolutely ridiculous for them to take it out on others and expect everyone to bow down to their whims as soon as they apologize. "Guys like these are only in it for the money," seriously? Come on! It's a competition, for crying out loud! What else do you expect people to be there for if not to hope for some recognition and reward for all the blood, sweat, and tears they've poured into their dance?
And don't even get me started on the contestants. I swear, I felt like doing a backflip off my bed when I read those parts. The whole point of a damn competition is to stand out and win, right? So why in the world would someone show hostility towards that? It's beyond me.
But what really gets me is how the judges completely missed that poor girl getting tripped over by that guy. I mean, seriously? If they were truly on the lookout for talent, shouldn't they be paying attention to every little detail? It's just nerve-racking to think and read those parts.
