The team is in LA in a studio getting ready for pyramid. Abby is talking about how great she is and all of the opportunities the girls have when the B team and their obnoxious mothers waltz in. Holly is already asking WTF is going on.
Chloe is on the bottom because she did not dance due to injury. Her foot in miraculously healed. Next is Mackenzie! Abby has been upset with her lately. For several episodes she was the clear favorite, even above Maddie. Next is Nia, because Abby is a moron. Next is Kendell. She lacks confidence. Next is out ringer, Camryn, no idea who she is or where she came from but she is on the main team at nationals and will probably take a solo from someone who deserves it. Then the seas part and the angels sing as Maddie is announced as the top of the pyramid.
Both teams are doing a group dance. Kendell got a solo! Chloe gets a solo! I guess Abby thinks her foot will keep her from beating Maddie. Oh no, Maddie is not doing a solo because she is doing Jimmy Kimmel and other stuff and won’t have time to learn a dance. Abby gives Nia’s solo to Camryn.Because, bitch. Maddie and her mother leave to go to Kimmel but not before Melissa kisses Abby on the cheek and says she wishes Abby could be there. Abby says she will be there later, so she is clearly not planning on rehearsing this team. You know Maddie has a routine ready for nationals and will be dancing.
The anorexic kid, Ava shows up to LA uninvited and is thrown out again.
Oh lord. The elite group dance is called Amber Alert where Mackenzie gets abducted. The select group is doing a beautiful contemporary piece. The elite team is probably going to lose. Also the rotten apples are there. Cathy’s group dance is Sia’s Chandelier song.
Surprise, surprise, Maddie has a secret private to do a solo. Surprise, surprise, CHRISTy gets crying Sarah kicked out again. Surprise, surprise Abby has skipped out on all the rehearsals to shop for a studio and do appearances with Maddie and Mackenzie. At one of the appearances Cathy shows up with her team and challenges the ALDC to a dance of in the streets. Nia does the best in the individuals but the rotten apples still one. ALDC won the group. Mackenzie was REALLY good.
Well that was a waste of a recap. Apparently, it is a two parter and we will see nationals next week. I still have no idea who will be doing a solo.
Tamara I have a question for you regarding dance moms. I no longer watch it because it’s so predictable but I really like the girls. What do you think is going to happen to the show when the original girls contracts are up? I hope I’m not breaking any rules by asking.
I dunno. I don’t see the show ending anytime soon. I think Abby is going to move to LA and start a new studio. Eventually we will get a whole new group of girls as these age out.
We all know that the only reason Abby is opening a new studio is to cash in on her fame. I bet bet dollars to donuts, that the la studio will be Maddie and McKenzie’s new studio as well. I would bet in upcoming seasons, that the la studio will be the only studio televised along with the new team. All “old” girls will be left in Pittsburgh and not shown again (Nia, Chloe etc…if Kendal’s lucky enough, and her Mom is willing to move to la, Kendal might be in the la studio).
By having an la studio, Abby has a place for her “Abby’s best dancer” to be filmed. Because of that show, that’s where Abby’s been getting all the new girls from anyway.
Aren’t people SUPPOSED to take things further when they are successful?
Third time trying to comment. It keeps disappearing. Last time..Maddie will solo, Christie may pull Chloe and I don’t think she will be dancing at ALDC next season. She was heard saying she will not let her daughter be treated this way by Abby any longer. I hope her contract is Up. The woman’s a beast. Melissa is a sneaky ass kissing bitch.
I had more to say but I’m tired and can’t remember what I had typed before.
See you tomorrow.
Got to catch up on Utopia. We need to get that thread going.
Hugs to Banjo. You, you can have a box of wine. Good night.

I find it hard to comment on Dance Moms as the episodes airing here seem to be a season behind or something. Last episode I watched Chloe was at the top of the pyramid. I was inappropriately happy for her. I’m commenting to say that I still read the recaps and….have you seen the latest Madam Secretary episode? It wasn’t as good as the pilot but I’m still enjoying it.
I just finished watching it actually. I’m watching the Good Wife now. BECAUSE THEY ADDED IT ON TO Madam Secretary as if it were a two hour episode. I don’t mind the Good Wife but forcing me to DVR it to get to tape Madam Secretary fucks up my DVR schedule immensely.

I’m a big Good Wife fan so that’s probably why I’m enjoying Madam Secretary. I must have mother issues as I enjoy dramas with strong intelligent female leads.
You ready for spring?

The season? It’s Spring right now but still kind of cold down here.
Yes the season. It’s technically fall here but still in the 80s… I’m hoping for snow this winter but that almost never happens in Atlanta.

We only really get snow on our ski mountains in winter. Up north in Sydney and Brisbane the weather is heating up. I hate sweltering heat so I’m scared for this summer (40 degrees celcius). I only like sweating during two activities, the gym and….
I dont like to sweat just by walking from one air conditioned building to another. Atlanta can get hot right?
oh yeah. We will usually hit a 100 at least once a summer. This year June was VERY mild. I don’t think we hit a hundred this summer. We had some sweltering weeks in the 90s but it was mild for the most part.

I like the Good Wife, I’d love to read a recap from you. I’m trying to wean off of Bravo. You started me on Blacklist, I just binge watched season 1. Please TT get me off Bravo.
I love watching the dancers, but the only mother i like is Holly. Jill would sell her mother to get Kendal a solo, Christi is obnoxious, Melissa is so up Abby’s ass that if Abby stopped short, Melissa would break her nose. CHRISTy is an example of why the Romans fed Christians to the lions. The Cathy gets added to the mix. She reminds me of that creepy elf on a shelf. I want to tell her to cheer down. This episode she looks like she was rode hard and put up wet. The moms of team select are just as horrible.
Abby did not pick Maddy for a solo so she could blame Kendal. Chloe, and Kamryn for ruining the nationals. I do miss Vivi and I am sure she wishes she lived with Holly.
Maddie will have a solo. She already had two “surprise” solos this season.
You might be right. Maddie always has a costume and an “old solo” ready.
Lol lions
This may be a dumb question by why was Maddie on Kimmel? That little girl is really getting to be like her mom. I usually just read the recaps & watched one episode last week & remembered why I quit watching it. I cannot stand Abby. I was reading some of the comments below on the weather. Tamara…my weather is like yours. Hot. Gotta love Texas weather!
Maddie was also on Dancing With The Stars recently performing a duet with one of their dancers and did a really good job. It was nice to see her doing a different style of dance and she was just as good or better than the pro.
Maddie starred in a Sia video for her song Chandelier. I had never heard of Sia, but she reached out to Maddie over social media as she was Maddie’s fan. The video won some awards and Maddie is getting a lot of publicity for it. She was on Ellen and performed with Sia as well.
Suzanne forgot to enlighten us with other information like the sky is blue and the earth is round.
TT…I guess I don’t understand the purpose of your post about my comment. I was answering Jessica’s question as to why Maddie was on Jimmy Kimmel. But I could have added that information if it was needed.
Sorry, Suzanne. I read your comment out of context. It just seemed like stating the obvious. I didn’t realize it was a reply. 🙁
Lol. Yeah this is truly ground breaking news Suzanne. Any more brilliant insights that everyone everywhere already knows?
I realize that the show is bogus…I know that everything is faked. Still, I was disgusted beyond words sat last night’s show. Cathy went nuts and acted worse than usual and I can’t believe that anyone would behave that way. Abby, who I usually like was also beyond awful and so were ther moms. I am tired of Maddie this and Maddie that and no one else counts. How long are they going to milk that dance number with Sia? Maddie is turning into a prima donna and I think that Kendall and Nia are being cast aside for no reason. Both of them are extremely talented and have a lot to offer. I have to believe that Abby is Maddie and Mackenzie’s agent and that she’s getting a percentage of their appearance fees. It’s out of control and the show is killking itself with the over-the-top awfullness (is that a word?) I really loved watching the children dance in the past but even that is not holding my attention because of the adult behavior.
I believe that the grown ups do very ugly things, but Maddie is really a sweet child. If you watch during presentation of awards, and I’ve watched faithfully since the first season, Maddie, McKenzie, and Mia clap for everyone. Chloe and Kendall cannot be bothered unless they are either winning individually or as a group. Kendall’s mom would screw the Jolly Green Giant to get her 1 minute of stage time. The first years of the show, Chloe was a sweet child but who could stand up under her mother’s evident disappointment about EVERYTHING? Love Nia and she is so strong inside and out. Just because Abby favors Maddie doesn’t make that Maddie’s fault. And, Maddie can dance beautifully. I feel like I did last year about the RHWs.; this show is like a piece of gum that all of the goody has gone out of. I don’t think I will watch next year.
Could you, after I dunno three years learn the black child’s name? Thanks.

TT, I thought that when I began reading peachteahr’s post and saw “Mia,” but further down, she spelled it correctly as “Nia.” 🙂
Oh I stopped reading after she didn’t get her name right. That’s happened a few times.
So sorry about Nia’s name. All of the joints in my right hand have been replaced and I often hit the m rater that the n. I adore Nia and I Like Holly so unless the computer underlines it, I often miss mistakes. I do proofread but I didn’t catch it.
Peachteachr, I missed the “h” in your name in my last post. 🙂 TT, I’m sure with all the posts you receive, you have to scan through them. I’m impressed you find time to do that. I do enjoy your recaps!
Nia’s not getting a solo because racist Abby ran out of African-American themed dance ideas. Lord knows the girl can only dance if she’s portraying a famous African-American woman.
I loved this comment. I do not think she is racist, but she stereo types her as the “black” dancer, and not a talented dancer. I see them all having something that needs work, but it is always Nia and her feet. Yet, never Maddie and her face (which is motionless).
I HATE that Nia is getting exposure, but nothing that is lasting to her career, just something for now. She is way better than she get’s credit for and maybe we “A.A” people should rally around that if we want a change…..
Get her on OWN, hell get all the cast a ways on OWN or TV One….something…..
just my thoughts.
Wow! Put Nia on OWN? are you fricken serious? That in itself is racist, and you are an idiot. Nia is spectacular, and ANYONE would be lucky to have her. Nia doesnt need Oprah to exploit the fact that shes black and make bank. Fuck Oprah. And Abby. Nia is FAR more than just a black dancer.
I’ve been watching season 3 and I cringed when abby was giving casting examples at pyramid: “It’s not always about just dancing, if they want a tall girl they’ll pick Chloe, if they’re casting the lion king they’ll pick Nia.”
WHAT?! Aren’t they in full costume? Does she expect her to be the monkey that holds the cub after his birth?
Actually, everything Abby said there was true.

I fully understood what she was trying to say – but why Nia for the lion king? Is it really an all black cast?
If only Maya Angelou had held on a bit longer and died before Nationals…. poor Nia.

There is always Toni Morrison. Couldn’t Abby do a dance based on beloved or Sula?
Oprah can have her dance during a tribute for Maya, I’m sure there will be another one.
I wish Abby would get mowed down by a combine. Its probably the only thing powerful enough to rip through that beast of a woman. Hopefully someone pulls Maddie and Melissa out of Abbys giant, gaping crevice of an anus prior to the mowing, or little Mackenzie will be an only child. Wait, on further thought, that little girl will be FAR better off away from those bitches who are supposed to love her but step on her at every turn. I love you Mackenzie, and Chloe, and Nia and Kendall! And I hate you, Abby, and I hate that you make me hate an 11 year old, even though she CLEARLY is turning into a terrible person and will some day soon feel the crushing pain of rejection after she is all used up by 15 and realizes that the world is far different than the one Tubby Lee Miller created for her. Chloe, please just punch that little bitch in the face. you are so much better. As a dancer AND a human.
How the fuck is abby MAKING you hate a little girl? YOU’RE choosing to hate her because you’re not smart enough to see through the mind games Abby plays.
Maddie doesn’t seem like she has much of a personality, she usually just smiles, giggles, and gives short answers – it’s not like she’s doing interviews and talking shit and acting like a little bitch like Quvenzhané Wallis did during her media stint.
I doubt she’s conscious enough to always be aware of when the cameras are on her, yet she’s always smiling and cheering for the other dancers. She gave up any semblance of a normal childhood to be a dancer, the stars aligned, and she’s getting publicity for it.
You can wish her ill will all you want but she’s a professional dancer at the age of 12 – there’s no doubt her career will continue until her body wears out.
Are you a retard? Please jump off a building as soon as possible. I am far to intelligent than the likes of someone like you. So much smarter, in fact, that this was the FIRST AND LAST post i will EVER make on line, because im not a god damn sheep like all you mother fuckers who hide behind their computers. You are a waste of life, like most of the popuation of this fucking country, and when this shit all falls apart, what are you gonna do when thisbullshit society collapses? Im guessing die like the rest of the fucking lemmings. KILL YOURSELF. And on one last note, i guess you have a point. Abby doesnt make me hate maddie. Maddie makes m hate maddie. She is a complete babbling retard, much like yoyrself, and when the tv show finally goes the way of old yeller, thats it for that little cunt. She has absolutely nothing else to offer humanity because she is just like the rest of you people. WAKE THE FUCK UP RETARD.
Your threat to stop commenting is pretty much the antithesis of intelligence. Do you not realize this isn’t your “first and last” post “on line” as you’ve posted before and just posted again 3 more times? I seriously have to explain that to you?
Your juvenile metacommentary on society is actually kind of embarrassing to read, knowing full well that you’re oblivious to the fact you’re exactly what’s wrong with the average, mundane idiot.
“I am far to intelligent than the likes of someone like you”
LOL where do I even begin trying to fix this sentence? Unforetunately I’ve met too many deluded fucktards like you to know you’re probably not trolling like I would hope that you are.
Actually, your ramblings remind me of the manifesto of that Santa Barbara shooter from earlier this year – deluded with thoughts of superiority even though you can hardly string a sentence together.
Just WOW. That’s a very nasty comment, maude clogs. In all my years here in TT’s shade, I’ve never said anything like that to a commenter. Heck, TT may put me in time-out, but girl, that was ugly.
Go fuck yourself you dumb ass preacher. Oh, you better go pray now! Hey retard, NO ONES LISTENING
LOL it thinks your name is preacher!
These comments were all in moderation. I came close to just deleting them for violating the literacy rule. Then I realized you would appreciate them. 🙂
