This isn't too surprising. In the Season 7 clip the "My biggest mistake" moment I originally thought was towards a mom/girl but honestly, I think she's lashing out at the camera upon further reflection. Like it's Lifetime's fault that her life is in shambles. 

Well, she did get caught with her money issues because her bankruptcy judge saw her on TV and wondered why she had no money when she was on multiple reality shows. But that's still not Lifetime's fault, all she had to do was not lie to the courts.

In general I think there is this weird idea that any kid that pursues a career in the industry must be after fame or doing it for the wrong reasons.  Yes, I get that is the assumption because all of t

They keep talking about her as a perfectionist, but there is a scary side to perfection that is often unknown. My youngest daughter struggles with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Her version of OCD doe

Ugh, why do they keep ordering episodes when it is clearly way past it's prime?   I have no willpower to stop watching shows when they start to suck, so I really rely on networks cancelling them to

Exactly! With the amount of money she's made and the influx of customers she initially got she could have easily paid off her debt and still had enough to live comfortably on. The fact that she chose to lie about it is what screwed her over.

I'm not quite sure where to place this, but since Sophia Lucia was DM alum (sorta) I figured I'd see what everyone thought of her in the Hallmark Nutcracker movie? I didn't find her acting to be overly horrible and she definitely had the ballet chops to perform as Clara. The plot of the movie was incredibly cheesy, but it was Hallmark. Overall, pretty good showing for her first big tv thing.

Abby just confirmed that Lifetime is ending Dance Moms.

Is it terrible that I can't get past the typo "Looks like Dance Moms is Thriving Around the Word!"? :/

I don't remember her from Dance Moms at all, but I thought she was pretty good in the movie. Both her acting and her dancing, although I am not enough of an expert to know how she might compare to a more advanced ballerina.

She was on the show for only a few weeks when all of the original moms boycotted to get Kelly and the kids back on. She was the new 'Maddie' though Sophia will always be a superior dancer.

Just got a chance to look at all of these video clip.  Good for Kalani, Nia and Chloe.  Kalani is gorgeous in the Capezio shoot.  She is the total package and on DM has shown wisdom and maturity well beyond her years.  Nia may not be the world's greatest dancer but she is a performer with some real natural stage presence. Chloe has gotten to show what she was capable of once she got out of the clutches of the ALDC and that sleazy exploiter of a production company Collins Avenue.

Isn't Abby's trial soon? It's been postponed so many times I've completely lost track. I think the show needs to end, and I had hoped for season 7 being the end, but I wonder if this is lifetimes (or Collins the production company's) sneaky way of being able to cover some details if the trial does finally happen.

I guess they miss being on TV?

I was surprised not to see any comments elsewhere & began to think I was losing it.

OT, I cannot wait to see what they attempt to present as nationals.  I mean, I know the comps are staged (which they're not even being very coy about anymore with at least two numbers where they left the stage with flour and now flower petals, which isn't allowed at comps) but simply because they're scattering their season for Abby's legal troubles does not mean the dance season and nationals will occur by February.

I've been admittedly out of the loop, but I feel like I've seen mixed messaging.  Has the show officially been cancelled or not?  Why is Chloe coming back in the last seconds of the season finale if that is the end?  Is getting her back Lifetime's way of trying to figure out ways to prolong the show, whether Abby is around or not?  Confused.

I think it will be the final FU to Abby.

Christie and Chloe get their revenge.  I have missed them and stopped watching the season they brought Asia in.  Just too much shit and meanness towards children.  Karma is a bitch, isn't it Abby Lee?

Just seen on Brynn's instagram they're encouraging kids to go to another 'Dance Moms' competition, so I guess it's been renewed for another season?! 

I wonder if Chloe will be back as a regular? I could never stand Christi for a moment and disliked the 'victim Chloe' routine she shoved down everyones throats (long before Chloe actually did become victim of Abby, in my opinion) but I would be interested in seeing Chloe on the show now, with her new confidence. She'd be risking a fall from grace though, I think, since right now she's the 'hero' of the programme. 

I'd also be happy to see this entire cast scrapped and just go to a new school, new teacher, new kids.

So my Info comes from pre teens/teenagers who follow the show obsessively, and actually usually do have a record of being right about the info.. but it's all hear say from tumbler/twitter thanks to my niece, so take it for what's it's worth.

Apparently the show has been renewed for an 8th season, but Nia, Kendall and Kalani are not coming back (they say the originals aren't coming back, but Nia is the only original). I'm not sure if Abby is returning, which may be why she said the show is ending... I'm kinda confused if she really isn't returning or someone somewhere changed their mi d and brought back she show from the dead. With court and potential jail time looming I'm not sure how she could commit to a whole season.

Chloe is returning for the last moments of the last episode at nationals (I hope it's not a spoiler, I assume it's not since it's on the previews) rumor is that as a final FU to Abby from the producers Chloe is delivering the final line of the show (this was before it was allegedly brought back for season 8) 

Spoiler

Chloe announces she is returning to competition, but does not dance in the final episode. I'm not sure how that plays into the 8th season if she will return or if her announcement is just to bring drama for the finale. In my opinion it seems odd if she would return for a season, but the older girls are all off the show, it's not like she can realistically compete with the minis.

They did this with Dance Moms Miami, it sucked.  Not the teachers because I kind of liked them but the rest was a train wreck.  I think the original appeal of DM was that these kids had been dancing together for a while and the dynamics of the kids and their moms.  In the beginning, we saw more dancing and in my opinion more "organic" conversations the moms had in the loft area.  That was what we liked.  DM Miami didn't have that because most of the people, like the current DM's crew, were cast for their "part not actually people from the school. 

Sadly, I think this one's going to be deleted from my DVR after this season is done.

All spinoffs circled the drain fast; watched them all though! I like Abby making her mark over in the British Isles; teacher there respected her and loved how Abby was able to put her MOMs on the defensive within seconds! ;-)

Competition was yesterday and MDP won first place.

Was Chloe in the back or on the end the whole time?  She didn't stand out.    Lot's of lifting the right leg, hanging onto it for some reason, lots of right sided turns.  Not too original, but I can see them beating ALDC.
