Coach Courteney Cuts a Button | Stumble | NBC

-I don't see a scenario where Silent Mike doesn't make it. He is a strong base. Steven had his best tryouts ever, and we know Dimarcus is a sure thing. [ Cellphone dings ] -You have 43 unanswered emails? You need to prune your inbox like your closet. -First off, you better not be going through my closet. The emails are just from the kids. They're trying to curry favor, but I'm not even gonna look at them till I've set mat. I can, I will, I must go with my head over my heart. What are you thinking? -I'm thinking I'm really worried about Daytona. I mean, I know how much product Courteney uses on her hair to get it to look like this in zero humidity. I think Florida is gonna be a disaster for her. -Seth, I know you're not in my bedroom right now. -Oh, I was just looking for the bathroom! -Baby, you can't be in here right now. -I didn't even see you were there. I'm just crossing through to get a snack. All right? Carry on with your business. -He's obsessed with you. -I can't believe I'm saying this, but I guess it's gonna come down between the button mascot, Hildebunch, and Madonna. -Yes! Lord, you have never forsaken me. -Permission to speak honestly? -Is it about my appearance? -No. -Then yes. -I love Madonna. I mean, I would be Madonna if the technology was available. But if we're just going on her mat tryout, I don't think she's in the mix. -But we're going by points, and there's much more than tumbling on the score sheet, such as the way you present. She has the best smile of anybody on the mat. Look at that. Hildebunch has never smiled. I don't even know if she has teeth. -Mm. She does. She bit me. -This guy smiles all the time but in a way that keeps me up at night. Don't cock your head like that. I am not making excuses for her. I truly believe that the judges would love Madonna. -Yeah, but what if she gets the yips in Daytona? -And what if she doesn't? -Okay, I'm gonna talk to you for a second not as your choreographer but as your stalker. -Okay. -As someone who's just read through all of your diaries, you're not afraid to make the hard choice. -I'm gonna need you to leave my house right now. -See? That's what I'm talking about. Heading out, Boone. -See ya, Seth. -First of all, I want to say you all showed tremendous heart on the mat. And whoever doesn't make it is still gonna go as an alternate. Now, I usually make this announcement in front of everyone, but that's when half the team isn't making mat, so I do think it's best if you each come individually into my office, and that way, nobody's embarrassed. -Uh, Coach, no one is embarrassed. All right, look, each and every one of you has something to be proud -- -Shut up, Mark. -Copy that. No, copy that. -Walk to the side, buddy. Look, we are all a team, so we would like to hear together who made it. -Okay. ♪♪ Madonna, I'm s-- [ Cheers and applause ] Let me finish. Hey, hey! -Hold on. -Let me finish. I'm sorry, honey. -Wait. What? What? -No. -What? -Um, no, it's okay, it's okay. It's more than okay. It's more... Uh, when I say Daytona, you say what? Day-to-na. -What? ♪♪ -Hey, baby. -Hiya. -Why are you so stressed, eating popsicles? Sally made the team. -I'm not. I'm happy eating popsicles. Turns out I just like popsicles. -Okay. -I bet you could use one. Couldn't have been easy telling Madonna. -No, I'm good. I mean, it wasn't, but... You know what? They're athletes. And at the end of the day, they know you don't always win. I mean, I do wish they didn't have to compete against each other after getting so close. -Yeah, it always does get a little "Lord of the Flies-y" this time of year. -Yeah, yeah. -So, did they turn on each other? -Should we read some of those emails and see? I bet it gets pretty cutthroat. -Oh. -All right. From Krystal. "15% off my website until midnight." -It's a good deal. "Also, Madonna should make mat." Okay. All right, all right. Let's try, Steven. "Hey, Coach. I think Madonna should make the team. I have at least seven years left. She can take my spot." Okay. Uh, okay, Peaches. This will be a good one. "Don't be a [bleep] Just put Madonna on the team." Okay. well, you can see. You get the point. Honey. -No, it... You've done a real good job. They love each other. No, I'm just saying. What? What? You should be crying. -You are being such a softy right now. I know you are not this emotional when you're coaching. -That's football. -Okay. All right. You want to see what Madonna wrote? Okay. Put on your big-boy pants. This might get rough. Oh, it's video. -Hey, Coach. I know you have to make a hard choice, but no matter what happens, I just really want to let you know how much you mean to me. -That's an athlete right there. -And as the original cheer team, I'm not going anywhere. -Oh, she gonna sing? -♪ I was just one B-U-T-T-O-N ♪ ♪ Cheerin' "Go fight and win" ♪ ♪ When I stumbled upon a group of unlikely friends ♪ ♪ There's this coach lady that brought us all together ♪ ♪ Ooh, yeah, I know that I can fall asleep sometimes ♪ ♪ But I know I can count on you to fill the lines ♪ ♪ And I hope that you know ♪ ♪ You can count on me, too ♪ ♪ And I hope that you know ♪ -Daytona, Daytona. -♪ You stumbled right into my heart ♪ ♪ You stumbled right into my heart ♪ ♪ You stumbled right into my heart ♪ ♪ Yes, it's fine with you ♪ ♪ Stay awhile ♪ -[ Crying ] -Bye, Coach. -[ Crying ] Oh, no.
