Morgan on How the Show Portrayed Navarro as a Team

Morgan said there was added pressure on the team to perform well with so many cameras around, but that the way the show was edited was an accurate portrayal of being part of Navarro. "There was a little bit more pressure added because we felt like, since this was going to be documented, that we had to make sure that we're doing the best of our abilities because we wanted to portray cheerleading in a way that the world was going to be excited about it." Even after practices were over, Morgan admitted her heart rate was "through the roof" watching the Daytona scene.

After binge-watching the entire series, Morgan confirmed what we've been thinking all along: Jerry is the standout personality on Cheer. "I mean, obviously, he is basically America's sweetheart," she said. "Everyone loves him so much. He always has such high energy and he's such a positive person. His smile is literally so contagious. When he walks into a room, he lights it up. But he's just a very genuine person and the way that the show portrayed him, he is everything that was on this show, but so much more."
