The P.R.I.S.M. Cup is over and *sob* because we loved this show!

....

Universe League had so many amazing aspects and introduced us to some really amazing guys. It was fun to watch how talented these contestants were and we are rooting for them all (AHOF or not!)

....

In this final REALITY CHECK episode on Universe League, Maddie and Elle talk favorite performances, most shocking vote reveals (which is obvious), MVP (also obvious), and how much they loved the coaches and mentors in this show.

....

We hope you enjoy our final thoughts on Universe League!
