Loving VH1's 'Hit The Floor'

While I'm impatiently waiting for the third season of VH1's Single Ladies to appear on my TV set did get to watch the opening show of a new VH1 series called Hit The Floor that broadcast its pilot episode on May 27.

Two of the names you'll recognize in the cast are Dean Cain and Kimberly Elise in this cast of new actors. 

Hit The Floor follows the story of Ahsha Hayes, a recent college grad played by Taylour Paige who has followed in the footsteps of her mother Sloane (Kimberly Elise) and become a member of the Devil Girls, the fictional Los Angeles Devils basketball team cheerleading squad after trying out against her mother's wishes. 

Sloane Hayes was a member of the original squad and knows all too well the tempting, cutthroat and treacherous world that awaits her naive daughter.

Dean Cain plays Pete Davenport, the former All-Star Devils player and recent divorcee who is in his first season as coach of the team.   He runs into Sloane when she shows up to support Ahsha at her final tryout, who drops the news on Davenport at the end of the pilot episode that he is Ahsha's father.

Then toss into this mix Jelena Howard (played by Logan Browning) who is a four year acknowledged star member of the team, the tyrannical captain of the Devil Girls and girlfriend of Devils star baller Terrence Wall. 

She's feeling very threatened by Ahsha joining the squad and her obvious star quality and is also battling Olivia Vincent, the OG Devil Girl who now serves as the manager of the squad for control of it.   

Olivia was once friends with Sloane during their time as Devil Girls before Olivia's machinations to turn the squad into a multimillion dollar enterprise caused a major rift in their friendship. 

Raquel Saldana (Valery Ortiz) is a four year member of the Devil Girls who is cut from the squad after she speaks up in defense of Ahsha who she befriended at the tryouts and incurs the wrath of Jelena.  She also dealing with the bullying deadbeat dad of her 4 year old son Miguel, who is the manager for half of the Devils players.     

There also Kyle Hart, (Katherine Bailess) a stripper who auditions for the squad and is a bright observant woman who isn't scared to fight for what she wants.  She uses her formidable sex appeal with lecherous Devils owner Oscar Kincade in a bid to get a spot on the Devil Girls. 

The show even has Twitter and Facebook pages for you to follow your fave characters and all the action of Hit The Floor.

So yep, y'all know how much I enjoy watching a good scripted show and Hit The Floor has many of the elements I love in terms of plot twists and lots of drama.  I'll definitely be hitting the couch to watch it on Mondays at 8 PM Central time
