  44. 1:53she was not traveling to Las Vegas so
  45. 1:55you know what
  46. 1:56this poor little girl is going to suffer
  47. 1:58her mother didn't follow the rules let
  48. 2:01this be a lesson to all of you and to
  49. 2:04all of your mothers if you don't follow

  51. 2:08will yank your number from the

  54. 2:13that ran back to Ohio you know we've
  55. 2:15been on the road there's bonds that have
  56. 2:17been made these people have worked under
  57. 2:19great pressure and it's that old adage I
  58. 2:22can talk about my mom's but don't
  59. 2:24anybody else talk about them next up
  60. 2:26Mackenzie honey I'm sorry you lost your
  61. 2:29duet partner however I want you to
  62. 2:31practice on all of your jumps and all of
  63. 2:33your tricks because next week you will
  64. 2:36definitely be competing
  65. 2:38I don't care if I'm not dancing I just
  66. 2:41like to hang out at the pool
  67. 2:43Paige your performance is good but
  68. 2:46you're not winning and you're not
  69. 2:48placing the overalls and I feel that you
  70. 2:50should be placing definitely in the top
  71. 2:5210. this is your city you have the long
  72. 2:54legs you have the look yes because of
  73. 2:56that page
  74. 2:58you're getting a solo understood second
  75. 3:01row Nia last week in Orlando you finally
  76. 3:05won your category I think you need to do
  77. 3:07that all the time
  78. 3:08so I hope that your mother now trusts me
  79. 3:11and doesn't question my every move I've
  80. 3:13had it with that it's what you do on
  81. 3:16stage that matters not the choreography
  82. 3:18not the costuming it's you and your
  83. 3:20Technique that is going to win the first
  84. 3:22place it felt good to win didn't it yes
  85. 3:24this week you get another solo and I
  86. 3:27expect you to win again
  87. 3:29Brooke did a great job but you didn't
  88. 3:32make the top three yes I understand the
  89. 3:35girls were a lot older but you can't use
  90. 3:37excuses you should blow them away you
  91. 3:39are doing a solo and just like Paige
  92. 3:42this is your city you've been talking
  93. 3:44about surf for years since you were a
  94. 3:46little kid certainly somebody from
  95. 3:48Cirque is going to be judging you here
  96. 3:49so you need to step it up and make sure
  97. 3:51they know your name at the end of the
  98. 3:53competition when I'm older I want to be
  99. 3:55on a Circus Olay show it looked really
  100. 3:58fun and they got to do all these cool
  101. 4:00like wear these cool costumes and they
  102. 4:01got to like hang on stuff and like walk
  103. 4:03on the ceiling and do Acro tricks and
  104. 4:06stuff now at the top of the pyramid
  105. 4:10Chloe now you're probably wondering why
  106. 4:13because Chloe didn't dance last week I
  107. 4:15keep hearing nobody can win because
  108. 4:17Maddie wins well you know what this is
  109. 4:19your shot Maddie
  110. 4:23I'm giving you the week off
  111. 4:25no new solo I'm really happy that Abby
  112. 4:28is not giving Maddie a solo this week
  113. 4:30it's giving her a little break so maybe
  114. 4:33she can swim a little or have some time
  115. 4:35and I think it would be really nice for
  116. 4:36Chloe to be on top I'm sick and tired of
  117. 4:40all the mothers talking about Maddie
  118. 4:41gets all the tension and Maddie gets a
  119. 4:43pretty costume and Maddie gets this and
  120. 4:45Maddie gets that I took Maddie out of
  121. 4:46the equation now who are they gonna
  122. 4:48blame Chloe you wanted this shot your
  123. 4:51mother all I hear is well you know what
  124. 4:54this is your shot here we are in Las
  125. 4:57Vegas and you better win
  126. 5:00I'm so glad that Chloe's at the top of
  127. 5:02the pyramid finally but I know why
  128. 5:06Chloe's at the top of the pyramid and
  129. 5:07it's to set her up to fail Maddie you're
  130. 5:09going to do the group dance you will not
  131. 5:11be performing a solo this week now
  132. 5:13understand this has nothing to do with
  133. 5:14you I want to let somebody else have a
  134. 5:17chance to win I put Chloe on top because
  135. 5:19she had last week off
  136. 5:21so she has no excuses she must win let's
  137. 5:25talk about the group number where are we
  138. 5:27again Las Vegas
  139. 5:30Vegas is really important to us because
  140. 5:32we only have two more shots until we go
  141. 5:34to our huge Nationals in Lake Tahoe so
  142. 5:37this is a really important win does
  143. 5:38everyone know another name they use for
  144. 5:40the city
  145. 5:43Brook Sin City Sin City John Brooke the
  146. 5:47concept of this contemporary routine is
  147. 5:50Sin City we chose a piece about seven
  148. 5:54deadly sins but we don't have seven
  149. 5:55girls so we went with sinful just to
  150. 5:59kind of get a little bit of a darker
  151. 6:01vibe to the piece put your bags away
  152. 6:03moms go ahead come on let's go let's go
  153. 6:13to help all my kids at the bottom of the
  154. 6:15pyramid again surprise surprise but you
  155. 6:18know what I I just want to tell you
  156. 6:19something I think that her solo was the
  157. 6:21best she's ever done any solo didn't you
  158. 6:23she acted so well in this especially in
  159. 6:26her age category I mean you have to do
  160. 6:28she makes this kind of dancing in it
  161. 6:31that was my concern for the Laquifa
  162. 6:33dance was the same thing there wasn't a
  163. 6:35lot of the pyramid yeah she did how
  164. 6:38about the big although
  165. 6:41it feels cool you should never put up
  166. 6:44any mark on anybody's face that's like
  167. 6:45putting a big Bullseye I want you to
  168. 6:46throw darts at it wait till Kathy sees
  169. 6:48that he's not gonna I don't know we're
  170. 6:50gonna see Kathy again I think Kathy
  171. 6:52perfect
  172. 6:57as I was driving home from Pittsburgh I
  173. 7:00was elated I could not get far enough
  174. 7:03away from the Abby Lee Dance Company
  175. 7:06I was really happy to see the Ohio sign
  176. 7:10Ohio welcomes you I couldn't have been
  177. 7:13happier
  178. 7:16[Music]
  179. 7:22first of all ladies gentlemen I am so
  180. 7:26happy to be back as you know I was
  181. 7:28splitting my time from the Abby Lee
  182. 7:31Dance Center and Candy Apples I wanted
  183. 7:33Vivi to get a little bit more experience
  184. 7:35because she's starting to get on that
  185. 7:37break of titles and with me being her
  186. 7:40mom I wanted to let her go to a dance
  187. 7:43teacher that wasn't me and wasn't Aaron
  188. 7:46and I felt that that was important but
  189. 7:49while I was there it was an experience
  190. 7:51of a lifetime she is winning
  191. 7:54competitions and I say she I am talking
  192. 7:56about Abby Lee Miller and I don't know
  193. 7:58how she is winning everywhere she goes
  194. 8:02because her kids have a ton of technical
  195. 8:06issues I'm starting to feel this energy
  196. 8:08that the plan that I'm going for is what
  197. 8:11I really truly am going to do and I'm
  198. 8:13going to put it in motion and that is
  199. 8:14the Candy Apples Dance Center is going
  200. 8:16to meet up with the Abby Lee dancers in
  201. 8:18Hollywood and we're going to go head to
  202. 8:19head
  203. 8:20there are going to be three of you that
  204. 8:23get to go to Hollywood California
  205. 8:28Justice Justice you are going to go to
  206. 8:31Hollywood

  208. 8:39going to go to Hollywood
  209. 8:41and our third Apple Taylor o'lear Taylor
  210. 8:44you will be doing a contemporary piece
  211. 8:47and competing against one of Abby's
  212. 8:50so-called finest is it Vengeance I would
  213. 8:52say it's artistic Vengeance because I
  214. 8:55want her to see what vivi's capable of
  215. 8:57Hollywood here we come Hollywood here we
  216. 9:01go
  217. 9:03I've got a plan where we can say we came
  218. 9:07we saw we kicked apples
  219. 9:08[Music]
  220. 9:10foreign
  221. 9:15let's go from the top with the music
  222. 9:18Place lift open back Flex hard
  223. 9:23[Music]
  224. 9:25better go
  225. 9:29push
  226. 9:33better
  227. 9:34hold step down good since we are here in
  228. 9:38Las Vegas I wanted to do something about
  229. 9:40the sins it's a very dark number there's
  230. 9:43a section of the routine where each girl
  231. 9:45does their own choreography and I assign
  232. 9:48each one of them a sin
  233. 9:51to portray Brooke you would be sloth so
  234. 9:56I'm telling you right now you have all
  235. 9:58this amazing talent and you throw it
  236. 10:00away and you give it to me sloppy none
  237. 10:02of us really knew what the seven deadly
  238. 10:04sins were and Abby had to explain it to
  239. 10:06us Paige you were going to be gluttony
  240. 10:13that's not no you're just thinking like
  241. 10:15a pig's like a gun the dance was called
  242. 10:17sinful they were all doing different
  243. 10:21parts but I don't think they needed to
  244. 10:23be labeled I think it was just another
  245. 10:25way for Abby to give a dig Nia you are
  246. 10:29going to be greed
  247. 10:31you want it all you want it right now
  248. 10:32and you want it your way Nia was
  249. 10:34assigned greedy Mia is the antithesis of
  250. 10:38greedy she there's not a greedy bone in
  251. 10:40that child's body Maddie you are going
  252. 10:42to be wrath what that means is you get
  253. 10:46upset you are ragingly angry she
  254. 10:51actually handed each person their own
  255. 10:53sin so they can act that out on stage
  256. 10:55but it was just for a dance it's just
  257. 10:57acting it's just a role that everyone
  258. 10:59has to play Chloe's going to be envy do
  259. 11:02you know what Envy is
  260. 11:03envies like you wish you had what
  261. 11:06another person had or you wish that that
  262. 11:08other person didn't have it I knew Abby
  263. 11:11was going to assign Chloe envy and Chloe
  264. 11:14came over to me and she said she was
  265. 11:15upset because she said I'm not jealous
  266. 11:17of Maddie no she's not jealous of Maddie
  267. 11:20the only thing Chloe's jealous of is the
  268. 11:21fact that Abby treats Maddie like a
  269. 11:23person Brooke I need you to be back a
  270. 11:25little bit so that it staggered on that
  271. 11:27move off stage

  312. 13:27the shows I did we had to if Maddie ever
  313. 13:30told me she wanted to be a topless

  585. 26:01all you do is set her up to fail you
  586. 26:03she's holding to national titles you
  587. 26:06went backstage before something and said
  588. 26:08be like Maddie who does that to a kid

  590. 26:13wouldn't you want to be like naughty I
  591. 26:15want to be like Maddie because Chloe

  593. 26:18Chloe and that is good enough for who
  594. 26:20for her not for you yes it is then why
  595. 26:24are you so jealous of an eight-year-old
  596. 26:25oh my God you should love her
  597. 26:27unconditionally I do Abby don't you dare
  598. 26:30question my parenting I do
  599. 26:34the bottom line is I would really
  600. 26:36appreciate it if you could just be a
  601. 26:38little bit kinder to my daughter that's
  602. 26:39the bottom one my tears aren't a sign of
  603. 26:42sadness they're really frustration I'm
  604. 26:45so frustrated with this woman she will
  605. 26:47never understand my point of view
  606. 26:49because she's not a mother so Chloe's at
  607. 26:52the top of the pyramid this week and
  608. 26:54what are your expectations for her
  609. 26:56I expect her to win hands down I expect
  610. 26:59people to be talking about Chloe
  611. 27:02people should be buzzing about her
  612. 27:05I just want to leave kind of and move
  613. 27:07forward because we're obviously kind of
  614. 27:09stuck with each other I agree I know
  615. 27:11that you're you've said it Point Blank

  619. 27:20a more human side of Christy she broke
  620. 27:22down a little bit I saw her be a little
  621. 27:23bit more emotional however I hope I got
  622. 27:26through to her that I do have Chloe's
  623. 27:28best interest at heart she just needs to
  624. 27:30let me do my job
  625. 27:32[Music]

  674. 30:25everywhere we go
  675. 30:36even though we didn't place as high as

  677. 30:42will be a different set of judges and
  678. 30:44those judges will have different
  679. 30:45opinions so maybe they'll like our dance
  680. 30:47better
  681. 30:49the group didn't do as well as I liked
  682. 30:51the picture is really on for the solos
  683. 30:53these girls need to get out there and

  685. 30:58need to take it to another level around
  686. 31:01the room
  687. 31:02one and two use your hand one and two
  688. 31:05one and two Paige hasn't even had her

  694. 31:19pull it on the back I never saw it Paige
  695. 31:21let's see you Ben
  696. 31:24um
  697. 31:25[Music]
  698. 31:28I saw my costume I thought it was very
  699. 31:31pretty it's just the normally don't fit
  700. 31:35Kelly
  701. 31:36I think we're gonna need a headpiece
  702. 31:38I wish you guys wanted 15 minutes oh you
  703. 31:41have to make one
  704. 31:43we'll just start something why is it
  705. 31:44that my kid always gets the costume
  706. 31:46five minutes before I go on stage it
  707. 31:48doesn't fit and I have to make headpiece
  708. 31:51at least
  709. 31:52every time it's my kid it's either
  710. 31:55Brooke or it's Paige the actual
  711. 31:58costume's okay that is just ugly does it
  712. 32:00look like 13 to 15. Pennywise the Clown
  713. 32:03tired of it so Abby gives me the costume
  714. 32:05for Paige 15 minutes before she's
  715. 32:07supposed to go on stage and it doesn't
  716. 32:09fit she looks like she's in the bottom
  717. 32:10of her pants everybody gets a new
  718. 32:12costume every week and I get
  719. 32:14costume clearly was not the right
  720. 32:16costume so instead of saying oh my God
  721. 32:18this is not her costume what can she
  722. 32:21wear it was it's always my daughter it's
  723. 32:24always my again the victim my kids
  724. 32:27should have her own costume that fits
  725. 32:30more than five minutes before she goes
  726. 32:31away I'm not letting my daughter go on
  727. 32:34stage and feel uncomfortable in a
  728. 32:36costume we don't even have a black chair
  729. 32:38I'm using a hook chair for God's sakes
  730. 32:41but what happened if this was anybody
  731. 32:42else they'd have a hot pink chair with
  732. 32:45rhinestones all over it when she used
  733. 32:47upward
  734. 32:48I almost fell off my chair you can talk
  735. 32:51like that in your house but don't talk

  753. 33:41needed to re-block it without them
  754. 33:43I would pull a number but just pulling a
  755. 33:45number because you have a kid and a mom

  763. 34:01friends I think Paige thought Chloe's
  764. 34:04gonna win Chloe's on top of the pyramid
  765. 34:06and I don't want to get beat by Chloe
  766. 34:08so I'll just sit on my butt and not do
  767. 34:10my routine that is not teaching a child
  768. 34:13anything every single week my kids
  769. 34:17costumes have either not had one we've
  770. 34:19had to wear our old stuff but it's never
  771. 34:21right Tony it hasn't been right
  772. 34:23ears it's never right it's every time
  773. 34:26for either my kids

  782. 34:47choreographer to design a costume to
  783. 34:48find a seamstress and to do it all on
  784. 34:50time she wants somebody else
  785. 34:53good riddance she can have somebody else

  799. 35:27for her solo and lately she has been off
  800. 35:30her game because her shoulder was
  801. 35:32bothering her she's been wobbling on
  802. 35:34tricks and falling out of things and
  803. 35:37it's just not like Brooke if you want to
  804. 35:38get noticed for Cirque stuff Vegas would

  811. 35:54Soleil so this is a city that Brook
  812. 35:56needs to show them what she can do
  813. 35:57hopefully she pulls it off

  819. 36:14I was standing behind the wings and I
  820. 36:17decided to do a handstand and my
  821. 36:19shoulder popped out of place
