Don't understand the hate against Payson in season 3


People need to stop saying Payson was less dedicated, because if She was She wouldn't have gone to London in the first place. She aimed to be more and show that She could do more than play it safe. She was basically the team leader in season 3, and held the team together by keeping a level head and helped Lauren with Her heart condition. Even if She doesn't like someone on a personal level She will still support them and treat them as a team member in order to get the job done, and She has never backed down from a challenge. Payson didn't change that much in season 3, and let's remember She never had a boyfriend before, so we don't know how She would have acted. Don't pretend like none of the other girls had their eyes on other things besides gymnastics, or went boy crazy (Kaylie/Lauren). Payson wasn't even as bad as them in the long run, it was just a cute, googly eyed relationship, but nothing to intense.

Kaylie abandoned Her team when She was going through drama with Lauren, and refused to acknowledge the fact that She had a problem with an eating disorder, not to mention in season 1 She said that She could quite gymnastics and be just fine. Also She treated Her win as National Champ as a dog and pony show,then felt the need to throw Her title in everyone's face whenever She felt the need to. Kaylie was immature, self-absorbed, and didn't take responsibility for Her team falling apart and felt She had nothing to do with it because it was "their lives" not hers. She wasn't ready to be champion in the first place, and could have never survived all that Payson went through and still come out on top.

Emily was honestly just stale and annoying at times, and cried poor me poor me to much.

Lauren was............well there are no words.

Jordan was just a replica of Emily basically, but She meaner and much more irritating.

I truly don't see why people like Kaylie or Emily at all. Overall I feel Payson was the best gymnast, had the most level head, was determined, focused, and cared for all of Her teammates.
