Reception
editOliver Sava of The A.V. Club gave the episode a rating of 'C' and said it "suffers from some unfortunate decisions, mostly in the editing department". She wrote, "I've long considered the editing on this show to be one of its strongest features, but the editing on tonight's episode makes the main challenge very unbalanced, strips the tension from the storytelling, and ventures into offensive territory during one particularly cringe-worthy scene."[5] Screen Rant included the cheerleading competition in a 2021 list of the show's ten most difficult maxi challenges, and said: "While dance and cheerleading may seem similar, this challenge reveals the differences between the two, as even the cast's seasoned dancers struggle to keep up. The routines turned out well, but the practice and performance took their toll on the cast, proving that cheerleading takes plenty of time to master."[6]
