- 1:20I want to reflect on star power last
- 1:22week some of you did really well however
- 1:25as a whole not so great I brought
- 1:28Brandon in I thought that would do the
- 1:30trick and the dance was a mess the

- 1:34Thunderstruck and we have four days to
- 1:36prepare as a group this particular group

- 1:42scores so you need to be Flawless this
- 1:45week

- 1:50not here her mother made it quite clear
- 1:53she was not traveling to Las Vegas so
- 1:55you know what
- 1:56this poor little girl is going to suffer
- 1:58her mother didn't follow the rules let
- 2:01this be a lesson to all of you and to
- 2:04all of your mothers if you don't follow
- 2:05the rules and you don't give me 100 I
- 2:08will yank your number from the
- 2:09competition she's the one that quit
- 2:10she's the one that bailed she's the one
- 2:13that ran back to Ohio you know we've
- 2:15been on the road there's bonds that have
- 2:17been made these people have worked under
- 2:19great pressure and it's that old adage I
- 2:22can talk about my mom's but don't
- 2:24anybody else talk about them next up
- 2:26Mackenzie honey I'm sorry you lost your
- 2:29duet partner however I want you to
- 2:31practice on all of your jumps and all of
- 2:33your tricks because next week you will
- 2:36definitely be competing
- 2:38I don't care if I'm not dancing I just
- 2:41like to hang out at the pool
- 2:43Paige your performance is good but
- 2:46you're not winning and you're not
- 2:48placing the overalls and I feel that you
- 2:50should be placing definitely in the top
- 2:5210. this is your city you have the long
- 2:54legs you have the look yes because of
- 2:56that page
- 2:58you're getting a solo understood second
- 3:01row Nia last week in Orlando you finally
- 3:05won your category I think you need to do
- 3:07that all the time
- 3:08so I hope that your mother now trusts me
- 3:11and doesn't question my every move I've
- 3:13had it with that it's what you do on
- 3:16stage that matters not the choreography
- 3:18not the costuming it's you and your
- 3:20Technique that is going to win the first
- 3:22place it felt good to win didn't it yes
- 3:24this week you get another solo and I
- 3:27expect you to win again
- 3:29Brooke did a great job but you didn't
- 3:32make the top three yes I understand the
- 3:35girls were a lot older but you can't use
- 3:37excuses you should blow them away you
- 3:39are doing a solo and just like Paige
- 3:42this is your city you've been talking
- 3:44about surf for years since you were a
- 3:46little kid certainly somebody from
- 3:48Cirque is going to be judging you here
- 3:49so you need to step it up and make sure
- 3:51they know your name at the end of the
- 3:53competition when I'm older I want to be
- 3:55on a Circus Olay show it looked really
- 3:58fun and they got to do all these cool
- 4:00like wear these cool costumes and they
- 4:01got to like hang on stuff and like walk
- 4:03on the ceiling and do Acro tricks and
- 4:06stuff now at the top of the pyramid
- 4:10Chloe now you're probably wondering why
- 4:13because Chloe didn't dance last week I
- 4:15keep hearing nobody can win because
- 4:17Maddie wins well you know what this is
- 4:19your shot Maddie
- 4:23I'm giving you the week off
- 4:25no new solo I'm really happy that Abby
- 4:28is not giving Maddie a solo this week
- 4:30it's giving her a little break so maybe
- 4:33she can swim a little or have some time
- 4:35and I think it would be really nice for
- 4:36Chloe to be on top I'm sick and tired of
- 4:40all the mothers talking about Maddie
- 4:41gets all the tension and Maddie gets a
- 4:43pretty costume and Maddie gets this and
- 4:45Maddie gets that I took Maddie out of
- 4:46the equation now who are they gonna
- 4:48blame Chloe you wanted this shot your
- 4:51mother all I hear is well you know what
- 4:54this is your shot here we are in Las
- 4:57Vegas and you better win
- 5:00I'm so glad that Chloe's at the top of
- 5:02the pyramid finally but I know why
- 5:06Chloe's at the top of the pyramid and
- 5:07it's to set her up to fail Maddie you're
- 5:09going to do the group dance you will not
- 5:11be performing a solo this week now
- 5:13understand this has nothing to do with
- 5:14you I want to let somebody else have a
- 5:17chance to win I put Chloe on top because
- 5:19she had last week off
- 5:21so she has no excuses she must win let's
- 5:25talk about the group number where are we
- 5:27again Las Vegas
- 5:30Vegas is really important to us because
- 5:32we only have two more shots until we go
- 5:34to our huge Nationals in Lake Tahoe so
- 5:37this is a really important win does
- 5:38everyone know another name they use for
- 5:40the city
- 5:43Brook Sin City Sin City John Brooke the
- 5:47concept of this contemporary routine is
- 5:50Sin City we chose a piece about seven
- 5:54deadly sins but we don't have seven
- 5:55girls so we went with sinful just to
- 5:59kind of get a little bit of a darker
- 6:01vibe to the piece put your bags away
- 6:03moms go ahead come on let's go let's go
- 6:13to help all my kids at the bottom of the
- 6:15pyramid again surprise surprise but you
- 6:18know what I I just want to tell you
- 6:19something I think that her solo was the
- 6:21best she's ever done any solo didn't you
- 6:23she acted so well in this especially in
- 6:26her age category I mean you have to do
- 6:28she makes this kind of dancing in it
- 6:31that was my concern for the Laquifa
- 6:33dance was the same thing there wasn't a
- 6:35lot of the pyramid yeah she did how
- 6:38about the big although
- 6:41it feels cool you should never put up
- 6:44any mark on anybody's face that's like
- 6:45putting a big Bullseye I want you to
- 6:46throw darts at it wait till Kathy sees
- 6:48that he's not gonna I don't know we're
- 6:50gonna see Kathy again I think Kathy
- 6:52perfect
- 6:57as I was driving home from Pittsburgh I
- 7:00was elated I could not get far enough
- 7:03away from the Abby Lee Dance Company
- 7:06I was really happy to see the Ohio sign
- 7:10Ohio welcomes you I couldn't have been
- 7:13happier
- 7:16[Music]
- 7:22first of all ladies gentlemen I am so
- 7:26happy to be back as you know I was
- 7:28splitting my time from the Abby Lee
- 7:31Dance Center and Candy Apples I wanted
- 7:33Vivi to get a little bit more experience
- 7:35because she's starting to get on that
- 7:37break of titles and with me being her
- 7:40mom I wanted to let her go to a dance
- 7:43teacher that wasn't me and wasn't Aaron
- 7:46and I felt that that was important but
- 7:49while I was there it was an experience
- 7:51of a lifetime she is winning
- 7:54competitions and I say she I am talking
- 7:56about Abby Lee Miller and I don't know
- 7:58how she is winning everywhere she goes
- 8:02because her kids have a ton of technical
- 8:06issues I'm starting to feel this energy
- 8:08that the plan that I'm going for is what
- 8:11I really truly am going to do and I'm
- 8:13going to put it in motion and that is
- 8:14the Candy Apples Dance Center is going
- 8:16to meet up with the Abby Lee dancers in
- 8:18Hollywood and we're going to go head to
- 8:19head
- 8:20there are going to be three of you that
- 8:23get to go to Hollywood California
- 8:28Justice Justice you are going to go to
- 8:31Hollywood
- 8:35Vivi had the inside scoop there you are
- 8:39going to go to Hollywood
- 8:41and our third Apple Taylor o'lear Taylor
- 8:44you will be doing a contemporary piece
- 8:47and competing against one of Abby's
- 8:50so-called finest is it Vengeance I would
- 8:52say it's artistic Vengeance because I
- 8:55want her to see what vivi's capable of
- 8:57Hollywood here we come Hollywood here we
- 9:01go
- 9:03I've got a plan where we can say we came
- 9:07we saw we kicked apples
- 9:08[Music]
- 9:10foreign
- 9:15let's go from the top with the music
- 9:18Place lift open back Flex hard
- 9:23[Music]
- 9:25better go
- 9:29push
- 9:33better
- 9:34hold step down good since we are here in
- 9:38Las Vegas I wanted to do something about
- 9:40the sins it's a very dark number there's
- 9:43a section of the routine where each girl
- 9:45does their own choreography and I assign
- 9:48each one of them a sin
- 9:51to portray Brooke you would be sloth so
- 9:56I'm telling you right now you have all
- 9:58this amazing talent and you throw it
- 10:00away and you give it to me sloppy none
- 10:02of us really knew what the seven deadly
- 10:04sins were and Abby had to explain it to
- 10:06us Paige you were going to be gluttony
- 10:13that's not no you're just thinking like
- 10:15a pig's like a gun the dance was called
- 10:17sinful they were all doing different
- 10:21parts but I don't think they needed to
- 10:23be labeled I think it was just another
- 10:25way for Abby to give a dig Nia you are
- 10:29going to be greed
- 10:31you want it all you want it right now
- 10:32and you want it your way Nia was
- 10:34assigned greedy Mia is the antithesis of
- 10:38greedy she there's not a greedy bone in
- 10:40that child's body Maddie you are going
- 10:42to be wrath what that means is you get
- 10:46upset you are ragingly angry she
- 10:51actually handed each person their own
- 10:53sin so they can act that out on stage
- 10:55but it was just for a dance it's just
- 10:57acting it's just a role that everyone
- 10:59has to play Chloe's going to be envy do
- 11:02you know what Envy is
- 11:03envies like you wish you had what
- 11:06another person had or you wish that that
- 11:08other person didn't have it I knew Abby
- 11:11was going to assign Chloe envy and Chloe
- 11:14came over to me and she said she was
- 11:15upset because she said I'm not jealous
- 11:17of Maddie no she's not jealous of Maddie
- 11:20the only thing Chloe's jealous of is the
- 11:21fact that Abby treats Maddie like a
- 11:23person Brooke I need you to be back a
- 11:25little bit so that it staggered on that
- 11:27move off stage
- 11:31all right lots of just oh hi

- 26:27unconditionally I do Abby don't you dare
- 26:30question my parenting I do
- 26:34the bottom line is I would really
- 26:36appreciate it if you could just be a
- 26:38little bit kinder to my daughter that's
- 26:39the bottom one my tears aren't a sign of
- 26:42sadness they're really frustration I'm
- 26:45so frustrated with this woman she will
- 26:47never understand my point of view
- 26:49because she's not a mother so Chloe's at
- 26:52the top of the pyramid this week and
- 26:54what are your expectations for her
- 26:56I expect her to win hands down I expect
- 26:59people to be talking about Chloe
- 27:02people should be buzzing about her
- 27:05I just want to leave kind of and move
- 27:07forward because we're obviously kind of
- 27:09stuck with each other I agree I know
- 27:11that you're you've said it Point Blank
- 27:13you don't like me I said I can't stand
- 27:15you
- 27:17I'm not as as I come across I saw
- 27:20a more human side of Christy she broke
- 27:22down a little bit I saw her be a little
- 27:23bit more emotional however I hope I got
- 27:26through to her that I do have Chloe's
- 27:28best interest at heart she just needs to
- 27:30let me do my job
- 27:32[Music]

- 30:00played my character and danced as best
- 30:03as I could
- 30:09there's Seventh Place
- 30:19seventh overall high score that's not
- 30:22the Abby Lee Dance Company we want to be
- 30:24you know at least in the top five
- 30:25everywhere we go
- 30:36even though we didn't place as high as
- 30:39we thought we were like Nationals there
- 30:42will be a different set of judges and
- 30:44those judges will have different
- 30:45opinions so maybe they'll like our dance
- 30:47better
- 30:49the group didn't do as well as I liked
- 30:51the picture is really on for the solos
- 30:53these girls need to get out there and
- 30:56they need to impress the judges they
- 30:58need to take it to another level around
- 31:01the room
- 31:02one and two use your hand one and two
- 31:05one and two Paige hasn't even had her
- 31:07costume on yeah I've never seen it
- 31:10either am I the finished product go

- 31:24um
- 31:25[Music]
- 31:28I saw my costume I thought it was very
- 31:31pretty it's just the normally don't fit
- 31:35Kelly
- 31:36I think we're gonna need a headpiece
- 31:38I wish you guys wanted 15 minutes oh you
- 31:41have to make one
- 31:43we'll just start something why is it
- 31:44that my kid always gets the costume
- 31:46five minutes before I go on stage it
- 31:48doesn't fit and I have to make headpiece
- 31:51at least
- 31:52every time it's my kid it's either
- 31:55Brooke or it's Paige the actual
- 31:58costume's okay that is just ugly does it
- 32:00look like 13 to 15. Pennywise the Clown
- 32:03tired of it so Abby gives me the costume
- 32:05for Paige 15 minutes before she's
- 32:07supposed to go on stage and it doesn't
- 32:09fit she looks like she's in the bottom
- 32:10of her pants everybody gets a new
- 32:12costume every week and I get
- 32:14costume clearly was not the right
- 32:16costume so instead of saying oh my God
- 32:18this is not her costume what can she
- 32:21wear it was it's always my daughter it's
- 32:24always my again the victim my kids
- 32:27should have her own costume that fits
- 32:30more than five minutes before she goes
- 32:31away I'm not letting my daughter go on
- 32:34stage and feel uncomfortable in a
- 32:36costume we don't even have a black chair
- 32:38I'm using a hook chair for God's sakes
- 32:41but what happened if this was anybody
- 32:42else they'd have a hot pink chair with
- 32:45rhinestones all over it when she used
- 32:47upward
- 32:48I almost fell off my chair you can talk
- 32:51like that in your house but don't talk
- 32:54like that around my dancers she should
- 32:55have been expelled just pull the number
- 32:57Paige I'm gonna go pull the number I
- 32:59need to hear it from you do you really
- 33:01think by not getting on stage and
- 33:02dancing is going to make you better
- 33:09shroom every week and I get
- 33:13page go put your clothes back on please
- 33:15I'm not letting my daughter go on stage
- 33:18and feel uncomfortable in a costume I'm
- 33:20not allowing her to dance Paige are you
- 33:23absolutely positive you want me to go
- 33:24pull this number yes then come with me
- 33:27let's go
- 33:28yeah it's fine
- 33:34I have not pulled a number in years that
- 33:38the child got hurt and couldn't dance we
- 33:41needed to re-block it without them
- 33:43I would pull a number but just pulling a
- 33:45number because you have a kid and a mom
- 33:47that are acting like two great brats
- 33:49because their costume isn't right
- 33:51ridiculous you don't want to be on stage
- 33:53and you're not confident that's fine I
- 33:56will pull the number but don't think
- 33:58that you're gonna get better sitting on
- 34:00your butt in the audience watching your
- 34:01friends I think Paige thought Chloe's
- 34:04gonna win Chloe's on top of the pyramid
- 34:06and I don't want to get beat by Chloe
- 34:08so I'll just sit on my butt and not do
- 34:10my routine that is not teaching a child
- 34:13anything every single week my kids
- 34:17costumes have either not had one we've
- 34:19had to wear our old stuff but it's never
- 34:21right Tony it hasn't been right
- 34:23ears it's never right it's every time
- 34:26for either my kids
- 34:28get your own costumes made
- 34:31I'll sketch it you take them no I don't
- 34:33need you to sketch it I'll sketch it
- 34:35myself oh no no oh no no yes I'm getting
- 34:37it made and I'm paying for it I'll draw
- 34:39the sketch but then you have to have the
- 34:42choreographer fine fine I don't think
- 34:44Kelly has the wherewithal to hire a
- 34:47choreographer to design a costume to
- 34:48find a seamstress and to do it all on
- 34:50time she wants somebody else
- 34:53good riddance she can have somebody else
- 34:55frankly I have a lot of people that
- 34:57would love the attention that I shower
- 34:59up on page and Brooke
- 35:01well from now on I get to draw my own
- 35:04costumes
- 35:07and pay for them and have my own
- 35:10choreographer oh your only way however

- 35:34tricks and falling out of things and
- 35:37it's just not like Brooke if you want to
- 35:38get noticed for Cirque stuff Vegas would
- 35:41definitely be the place to be noticed
- 35:44just go out

- 37:43killing you immediately following her
- 37:45routine she came right around and found
