Angela and Starr just met and they're already bitter rivals in a sweet Christmas bake-off. Angela's reputation and Starr's business are on the line, yet only one can win the competition. What they didn't bet on was losing their hearts instead. #cheerpit #a #r

Happy #CheerPit, everyone! I hope you all had as much fun as I did! I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to come up with anything clever, but it was an absolute blast coming up with fun holiday themed pitches! What a great idea. Hoping to see this one again next year!

Two souls suspended in mid-air over the river, stone and steel and wire holding them in place, halfway between a humble memorial and a parking lot, against sacred nature and mundane utility. #Q #A #CheerPit Stage 6 Does Not Exist
