* For a movie released in the late 90s, the fact that Les, a gay guy, is treated as just one of the gang, and even having a MeetCute during the competition is pretty impressive. Sure, FairForItsDay does apply with how they don't do more than trade flirty looks, but a movie from 1998 (with a PG-13 rating, no less) treating a gay character not as some sort of object lesson or tragic figure, and even having a moment of flirtation (intentionally chosen to be given to him and not a straight character), is a pretty big deal for the time.

** More noteworthy when one considers that it is genuinely living up to the ideal of "it's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game." This is the Toros earning second place on their own merits rather than winning with the stolen routine, and the final line of the movie is Torrance saying that their second place win "feels like first."

** On a meta level, the Toros getting second place, and (as Torrance puts it) it "feels like first," qualifies as well - for once, this is a sports movie that lives up to the idea that it isn't about winning or losing but how you play. The Toros bust their humps, give their best effort, it falls short of the Clovers' best effort, and they're all perfectly okay with this because they know how much work the Clovers put in and can acknowledge they were just that little bit better, and it's not a loss for the Toros, because their second place victory was earned by them, as opposed to their previous championships being won through the stolen routines.

* Torrance catches Aaron cheating on her and assertively dumps him. He deserves it.
* The Toros accept coming in second gracefully. That's better than they did while Big Red was around, because while the Toros always came in first while she was captain, at this time they competed honestly and earned their position.

** The fact that Isis turns her down is one in its own - the Clovers were depending on her for this to be their year, their chance to get to nationals. Instead of taking the sure thing that (regardless of Torrance's motives) would feel like guilt money or charity, she turns it down, sticks to their plan of writing to Pauletta (an Oprah-like talk show host who had come from the Clovers' home) for an endorsement. Then, to top it off, cements the fact that she gets that Torrance is actually trying to do the right thing by them after years of Big Red stealing the Clovers routine for the Toros, and tells Torrance that they both need to bring their A-game to the finals. You can almost see the change in their relationship to friendly rivals.
