Ugh. The older girls had trouble with that simple routine. They look flabby and out of shape, with attitudes to match. How many of their new choreographers have to tell them how lazy and mediocre they are, before they catch on? And afterwards, they're all, "Hey we're awesome, yay." Really? Who would want to work with them in RL? And their harpy mothers literally chasing people around to bully them? WTH? GO AWAY, HARPY MOTHERS. And take your entitled brats with you. Bye. The younger girls really have the makings of a good team. Some real talent there.

Since this was supposed to be a design for a "woman on the run", I can see why they chose Claire's look over Kentaro's. I thought it was hilarious when Tim warned Claire not to copy HERSELF with that top. In other words, Margarita, you stole Claire's look with that fugly dress. Then Marg moves on to talking about Claire measuring her pants in their room? If that's true, why didn't she call her out when it happened? It really doesn't make any sense, when Claire can easily measure her pants onsite. And I'm sure they have no proof, anyway. So it's just a disrespectful smear. As far as I'm concerned Michael can just walk out the door and never come back. I wish Margarita would too.

Well, Abby got the better part of that deal. Buh-bye dance moms (and their entitled, sort of semi-talented daughters) from hell. Hello very talented girls who would love to be on Abby's team when she gets out of prison. Like that one mom said, don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

Hmm...I've often thought that both Kendall and Nia were getting really bad guidance from their mothers. Instead of these moms yelling at Abby for correcting their sweet babies (and they did NEED those corrections), they should have told their daughters to concentrate on those areas for improvement. And now, when the girls are literally crying, feeling sorry for themselves, and blaming Abby for years of lackluster performances, I an blaming their mothers. And I think Laurieann might be coming to the same conclusion. I have been underwhelmed by the choreography, and mostly disappointed with the performances, and I agree with the judging.

I thought the proposal, and everyone's reaction, was sweet. I'm usually on Abby's side because all of these mothers know what they're signing their kids up for. If they don't like how Abby handles things, then they can keep their kids off of TV and find another way to make silk purses out of sow's ears. OK, that's a bit rough on the kids. lol I think they're all moderately talented. Nia has improved the most, and I love to watch her dance. I don't think any of them should quit their day jobs, though. This singing/video stuff is incredibly contrived, obviously. I'm a bit embarrassed for all of them in that regard.

How did my comment (practically every other word being "faux") imply that I believe everything on TV? It's clear that the girls enjoy the competitions, whether they're faux or not. If the harpy moms would let their girls do them without going off on Abby every three seconds, that'd be great. I realize that the idea of the show is for the moms to be harpies, but it gets really old. No, I wasn't talking about who produced the video. I'm saying that Nia wouldn't have been given that opportunity if she wasn't on the show. As you said, it was a set up to bait Abby. Nia was being used, and her mom went along with it. That's pretty horrible.

Nia wouldn't have that video or be on TV at all without Abby. Really, if anyone is sabotaging Nia, it's Holly. Yeah, Holly got this faux video to go along with Nia's faux singing career, which was arranged simply to stir up trouble with Abby, NOT because Nia is actually a good singer, because she's not. In the end, Holly will find out that Nia had her 15 minutes of faux fame, and that's it. Of all the girls, I think only Maddie has a chance of making it long-term in the business. In the meantime, it'd be nice if the mothers would quit being donkey's behinds, and let their kids have fun being a part of Abby's dance company. Melissa warning those two to stay away means she knows that they're all about: causing trouble. So good for her.
