I get where Abby is coming from when she says she made them so much money. She has been the real draw of the show whether you love her or hate her. She taught the girls, her personality catapulted the show from mediocre and without her the Moms would have nothing to gripe about. Not to talk about her (& Gia's) choreography which on the whole has been really good and memorable.
She took a bunch of below average dancers and made them somewhat great and that is no mean feat. Nia, for instance, has no innate ability but can at least cobble some steps together. & Kendall who has no expression can at least turn and keep up. Hell, she even convinced us that Maddie was the next best thing since sliced bread despite her lack of flexibility and not so great feet. Brynn and Kalani have really shown us what great dancers look like. I won't critique Chloe yet as she is no longer a real dancer - her mother put paid to that with her venom. Why is Christi back - she is nothing but spite & hate with a face now to match.
The "burlesque" dance this week was terrible. Those girls puppies were popping out all over the place. they have, with the exception of Camryn, become so heavy and thick they are not pleasant to watch.
