I think Maddie did win, or I thought it was that one of them beat the other overall, but they were in different categories and the one who did better in their category did worse overall?

Hm, well Kendall has a nice facial structure and photographs very well so I do think she is pretty, however (to Rebecca), I also don't think she's the prettiest of the group, I actually think that's Maddie these days, and I find Kalani prettier as well.

And she's the only one in the entire group who is solely focusing on her dancing, so that would help (and which I commend because these music videos are annoying!).

Adrian's father seems quite arrogant doesn't he, in a douchy way. I think the 2 hours per day that Gianna studies is enough, the kids don't need to be cramming 5 hours a day, that is too much for a "genius".. Iris's mother seems pretty competitive for such a "free spirit". Nonetheless so far she seems one of the better parents. Still liking Claire and her mother! Is it just me or did Selah have much easier history questions than everyone else? That fight with Selah's parents was hilarious xD I feel like Selah's mother isn't quite hard enough on her in the sense that she's teaching her to be quite lazy. I don't endorse pressuring your kids to a breakdown or studying 10 hours a day but it seems like Selah can't even focus for 20 minutes. Chancellor's mum - "I want to win Child Genius".. ummmmm, her? I feel she is quite smart. Both Arnav and Vivek really rub me the wrong way but I'm not quite sure why.. Arnav seems cocky and Vivek seems whiny?

Yes, Kendall. Very pretty indeed, and I enjoyed her jazz number. But she's just not a particularly outstanding dancer in any field and has zero star quality Jojo is great, she really gets into roles and has the X factor Kendall lacks. I also loved the hiphop dance, seemed really professional and cool. I thought Kenzie & Jojo were awesome at it. To the person who said "they pretend Maddie is better than Kalani", well Kalani is really sweet and has great technique, but I do prefer to watch Maddie dance, I mean Maddie really connects to the audience (or me anyway). I think she has more of a special something than Kalani (but Kalani is great too!). The minis kind of looked awful, more thrusting slutty moves than anything.

Even a normal kid should be able to spell "register", good thing Drake('s mother) is gone. Poor Gianna, her parents are making it difficult for her. I like Adrian and his mother so far, Olga had a nice quote about making people do better. Arnav is being a bit bratty crying for a 9/10. Why do people even keep studying, Drake got 0/10 1st round so even if he gets 10/10, they only need 1 point. Really Selah, BELGIUM borders Bulgaria? I'm liking Claire a lot so far.

It frustrates me to watch Kenzie dance in the sense that I feel if she were enrolled in gymnastics or acrobatics, she'd be amazing, national level. Whereas in dance, she's good but Abby is right.. she's no Maddie. And it bothers her that she gets these comparisons all the time. So it would be nice if she had her own sport. I'm also bothered how bratty she has become, in that "No Moms" special, she was very rude to Maddie. Kendall - seriously, crying over costume makeup? Nia - Wish she'd get a cool hiphop routine, she'd shine in a different style of dance. Holly and Nia seem much more tolerable than in season 5.

Ugh, how is Stewart still here. I can't stand watching such a pathetic and pointless character.

Thoughts on episode 1: Why is Jenna obese when her sister and parents are not.. I also think her parents shouldn't have put her in the show, she wasn't mentally strong enough for the pressure. That 1st kid shown, with the stuck up parents, very hard to watch, seems like quite a brat, and not particularly bright. Oh ugh, and he's religious too. Woah, Chancellor is rich. Just woah. They all seem rich so far.. He seems like a brat too. The hippy kid could be okay.. As could the Russian one. I was also surprised the maths section was pretty poorly done.
