Dance Moms Recap: Wild, Wild West Coast Part One

February 20, 2015 by tamaratattles 13 Comments

Dance moms jo jo bow

It’s the last week in Hollywood, which I still don’t understand since so much was made of Abby moving Dance Moms to Hollywood.  The title this week is a part one so I can only assume that we are in for a long week. Abby seems quasi sane in the first few seconds of this episode.  Maddy is absent this week because she is filming that Disney show in a one episode guest appearance.  Jo Jo with the Bow Bow claps the same fake happy clap as the other girls. Only Mackenzie looks half way believable and she is hardly enthusiastic.

Speaking of hardly enthusiastic, the mothers can’t even pretend to welcome Sarah who is from Kalani’s old studio and  Brynn, also from that studio to the group.  Kira is furious with Abby from bringing her nemeses from her old studio on the show. It’s like how Teresa Giudice felt when her fambly was brought on to RHONJ and she wasn’t the only special snowflake at Thanksgiving anymore.

Which means that Abby doesn’t need, Jo Jo with the Bow Bow anymore. She puts her just about Nia who didn’t participate last week on the bottom.  Her stupid mother starts talking about what a good job she did last week. Abby goes in on her face, her not watching the movie Carrie like she was supposed to and tells Jo Jo not to cry. We might have all been good at that point but then Jo Jo had to open her mouth to say, “Well if you’re going to yell at me, I’m going to cry!” and in one clean take Jo Jo and her mama are on their previously scheduled  flight back to wherever they come from.  Or not. It looks like her mama is going to make her apologize to keep her on the show. Jo Jo has no clue what she has done wrong. Her mother has not taught her how to interact with adults and that Abby is not her peer.

Dance Moms Nia video

Wow! Kendall is on top of the pyramid finally and Jo Jo interrupts to return to the line up soaking up all of Kendall’s critique time.  Kalani was number two both were pleased to place above Maddie.

Abby is giving everyone duets in the spirit of all the fights that have been going on (mostly with Abby herself).

Kalani is in a duet with Sarah  called ” Nancy (Kerrigan) and Tonya (Harding)”

Mackenzie and Jo Jo’s  duet is  “Lucy and Ethel”

Brynn, Kalani, Sarah and Mackenzie are in one group dance about sad clowns.

JoJo, Kendall, Nia and Kalani are in another group doing a Moulin Rouge this week. This week a guest choreographer will work with this group while Abby works with the group that only has one of her actual students in it.  So this group has no choreography and no Maddie. #TypicalAbby

There are so many flashback scenes in this episode. It sure looks like they really had to stretch this season out to make up for Abby’s inability to tape.

During the video tryouts, Jo Jo out dances Mackenzie trying to win the lead. Sadly, Jo Jo can’t really sing, so the part goes to Mackenzie. This seems to have been Abby’s plan all along. Nia and Kalani and Jo Jo take waitresses spots and the rest are simply that, the rest. Just like Maryann and the professor on season one of Gilligan’s Island.

Melissa shows up to the shoot with Maddie. Seriously? Can’t they let these girls have anything without Maddie? They director says he will try to fit Maddie in if she wants to be in it. She has clearly already been through hair and makeup. They give Jo Jo an elevated part to showcase her dancing. Perfect.  Holly is so thrilled with Nia’s part that it seems obvious that Abby will take Nia’s part away from her somehow.

Abby comes storming onto the set because Melissa signed contracts for Mackenzie without getting her dual credit. Abby seems like she wants to pull all of the girls off the video. I doubt that will happen. In fact, I have seen the video. It should be interesting to see what transpired after the end of this episode and before the final cut of the video…

    I have Tweens they adore MattyB. I have to hear him in the car in their rooms when all the friends spend the night they go gaga for him. It would be none to smart for Abby to pull the girls. If any of them really want to crossover to successful music he is a great jumping off point. He has millions of views that far surpasses Mack Z’s little video. A push from his fans would certainly help any of the new singing careers that are in the works. If Mack Z can’t be in it maybe Abby will still let the other girls do it cause you know if Mack isn’t the lead who it’s gonna be now. Maddie will get it without even trying out for the part.

    Man, send that Jo Jo kid to me for a week. I’d teach her a thing or two about respect, adults not being your peers and humility. Her mother has created such a monster. Her speech impediment seems to have vanished.

      ​Yeah you could teach her, the sad part is her mother doesn’t. I get the feeing her parents are divorced and her mother is doing that thing some single moms do where they make the kid the new spouse and treat them like equal decision makers.

        Yeah. They are like girlfriends. It won’t be long until the little mongoose turns on her and treats her like dogshit. I think the mother is so obnoxious and dumb that the only way she could get a friend was to give birth to one. But it’s only temporary. I yelled at my tv when mother and daughter discussed what had happened and chalked it all up to abby being wrong on the premise that she and the child are equals.

        YESSSSSSSS, send “JoJo with the ugly obnoxious Bow Bow” to Teecee! That kid doesn’t pick up on the fact that nobody else does anything other than say, “I love you, Miss Abby” like little clones. And I can’t even get started on her mom. God, that woman…

        But I really want to know what is going on with Abby? Now she’s late to the video shoot?

        (When did I start following this show? *sigh*)

        That child has no home training. We are supposed to get a license to drive, why not a license to parent. I do agree with her mother about not letting JJwBB watch Carrie, but otherwise she is the worst parent ever.

    I don’t know why people would post about the video and spoil next week’s show for people who don’t want to know what happens.

    THAT IS WHY I DIDN”T JUST POST THE VIDEO.​

      I love/hate Dance Moms. I don’t know what happens next week because I haven’t gone seeking the MattieB video. Thank you TT for recapping each show beautifully without giving us spoilers about the next episode.
      I also like that you keep us updated on the lawsuits. I for one would love to see”Miss Abby” twist in the wind and get her comeuppance for her hateful behavior.

      Thank You for not posting a “Video Link” or the Video it’s self. I’m looking forward to next week’s Episode and how it all plays out. Please do not let MattB’s Dad and the rest of his crew give into Abby and her craziness! Well, just in regards to the Video crap. Love to hate this show and hate to love it ! How many think we’re getting an “Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition” this Summer?
      Now off to read your new post about Australia and Miss Abby!
      Love you long time T ♡

    I am ready to find out what happens with video shoot and how it turns out! Including, who ends up with which part. IF. A BIG IF. Say MacKenzie doesn’t get “TopBilling” with that MattyB kid, will they give the part to runner up JoJo? Besides the lack of home training…I would LOVE to see JoJo get the lead! It would piss Abby off to know end!!!

    I just had my Mom go watch this episode and more questions popped up for me. Do any of you think Abby has that much creative and or producing control over the video shoot? Will she have final say? I hope not. It would be nice to see how this video would turn out based on “MattB’s” people. Just random Saturday afternoon thoughts…

    Ps. Hey T!
    PLEASE do or consider doing recaps on the next Season of “MobWives!” Please? It’s much needed. We need a place for this!

    I am anxiously awaiting to see the video, as this may the first time I watched Maddie dance where she doesn’t finish –lying on the floor with her hands clutching her face with a look that would lead you to believe that a bowel movement is imminent. – (food poisoning at Cadillac Jack’s?)…..I just hope my girl Nia is in the video.
