Now we go to Bitchette’s lair to meet her other two boys and her husband (whose name I don’t think we learned? Either way, who cares.)
Bitchette and Mr. Bitchette argue about whether he will take the other two boys (who look to be younger than Lucas) to Lucas’ competition or to a football game this weekend. The football game wins out and Bitchette says dance has been a huge sacrifice that takes up too much time and she knows people who have gotten divorced over it. I also think that Mr. Bitchette seems like kind of a dick, so maybe that’s why she is such an unpleasant person.
Sammy’s rehearsing her solo and it’s a big week because it’s the first time she’ll be dancing in the teen category. Abby says she’s excited to see how 12-year-old Sammy will do since she’ll be competing against 14- and 15-year-olds. Susan actually says she believes Sammy deserves to have a solo this week since she hasn’t had one in four weeks. Wow, that’s a sign of the apocalypse if I ever heard one. Meanwhile, the specter of Leo hangs over their heads even when she’s not around, because Abby interviews that she’s concerned because as the newest member of Stars, Sammy could also be the first to go.
No one is saying the obvious here. I think if anyone would be replaced it would be Hannah, don’t you? While she has improved greatly since the beginning, I still think she is still at a lower level than the other kids. But I guess they need us to believe that anyone could go on the chopping block at any moment. Whatevah, Lifetime. I don’t appreciate your ruse.
The group rehearsal is not going well. Angel says no one’s connecting because everyone is concerned about what Mia is doing. Hmm, I wonder why? He tells them that this is not a daycare, and if they don’t want to dance, they can leave. Victor snots screw them all, Mia is now doing a solo. He adds that if he’s going to bring Mia in for the week, he is going all out to do it “the whole nine yards.” Angel says that a dancer’s life is about being replaced – if someone better comes along, that’s it, you are fired. Oh, yeah, I totally believe they JUST decided to give Mia a solo. Also, what kind of dirt do Mia and Leo have on VictAng?
Mia’s “last minute” solo is called Superstar, which I’m sure just “suddenly” popped into VictAng’s heads.
Mayra goes into the moms’ lounge to break the news about Mia’s solo and the possible replacement of one dancer or, as she puts it, “exchange somebody for somebody.”
Bitchette says “there’s your ticket to trouble, ladies.” She can be her usual smug self, because her kid is a boy and therefore less likely to be exchanged for. Bob interviews that it’s NOT okay for Mia to come in and replace one of the kids at the last minute, and says to the moms that they should all go ask VictAng what their intentions are. Abby interviews that for the first time ever, she is on the same page with Bob. She says solos shouldn’t be taken away no matter who comes along. The enemy of my enemy is friend or something like that.
Leo asks the moms if they have a problem with Mia doing a solo and all of a sudden these bitches who scream at each other if one of them breaks a nail are acting like monks with their tongues cut out. Bob manages a weak, “no, we don’t have a problem as long as no one is replaced.”
No problems here
Leo denies any responsibility for Mia’s solo, conveniently not mentioning the photos she has of VictAng in a threesome with Jabby Lee Miller. She tells the moms that they would grab the same opportunity if the situation were reversed. Abby tries to backpedal by saying she’s not blaming Leo, even though she’s totally blaming Leo. It’s kind of funny to see these women reduced to cowering piles of passive-aggression at the feet of this diminutive Famewhore Barbie.

VictAng Lee Miller the spawn of the threesome..might be the best dancer yet…lol
this season ended just like the last one…abby/victang favoring mia/maddie
Does anyone know the back story on why Mia wasn’t on the show from the beginning?
I’m surprised it is coming back – I’m not even sure why I watched it honestly. I thought it was something to keep Dance Moms fresh in our minds.
To closet fan: I heard that they wanted her to, but Leo said no originally because she saw what they did with Dance Moms and how it destroyed reputations (Abby) when really all the producers did was twist what really happened around. I guess she didn’t want her kid or herself to be turned into the bad guy and get a bad reputation. So much for that
@Chicken Lips That’s what I thought! And it’s worked great!
Just look at how even on here we’ve all been talking about oh that’d never happen on the Jabby show like it was a documentary about the Paris Opera Ballet.
@Closet Fan and @Sam
I’ve heard every reason under the sun why Leo didn’t want to join at first, all from equally unreliable sources. I don’t think anything’s close to being confirmed. I’ve heard everything from the hated the idea of a reality show (the more honourable side of things) to her being a huge diva about contract requirements (admittedly less honourable). I don’t know a lot about her but she seems like a ridiculous stage mom the way she markets her child online. She’s acted as somewhat of a manager for her kid and she really pushes her out there via Youtube. It’s a little crazy – she definitely thinks (knows? I’m not even sure) that her daughter is the stuff and thinks of Mia as a celebrity.
I actually was upset with this episode because this is the first time when they’ve really lied to us viewers a lot. In seasons 1 and 2, Pittsburgh had something almost every episode where they didn’t just dramatize the truth, they fully made shit up. Miami hasn’t really been doing that until now. Because of the situation with the TV show, everyone really should know that Mia has been dancing with this exact same group of kids and is on the competition team (as well that Jessie is a senior and is in a Brooke-type situation). Because acknowledging that they’re on a TV show would ruin the “illusion,” they’re flat-out saying that Mia is new to the competition team, which got to me.
The drama about pulling solos was also horrible. I don’t know of many competitions (I’m sure there are some out there, but not a lot) who would add in a new solo at the last minute, and that would be regardless if someone else were pulled. It’s not a matter of having the spots, it’s a matter of approving the music and collecting fees. I’ve seen a few competitions where dancers were added in after the program was printed, but they did not appear to be added in on the day of competition.
I know people had generally ill feelings about Miami but I appreciate that they didn’t overly jerk viewers around. Much of the drama came from things that were totally natural occurrences, like Jessie taking a trophy away from Hannah or Sammy sort-of dropping Kimmy. The organic moments of these shows (especially with the kids) make them compelling – like Nia forgetting her solo. You feel real sympathy for her. Of course, there were little things that weren’t organic (like the pairing of Hannah and Sammy for a duet, obviously done to further the “rivalry” storyline for their mothers), but I feel like there’s a difference between that and “bringing in” Mia as if she was never a part of the group.
I think the difference is that in order to make the latter believable on camera, the moms and kids have to actually lie on camera (Mia had to look right into the camera and say something along the lines of “my first competition with the team”).
This particular competition requires all entries to be in 4 weeks prior to the competition– so as much as the producers and victang would like us to think there was a question as to whether someone’s solo would be pulled, there wasn’t.
Mia has always been part of the team, just not the paid team? Oh editors why do you jerk us around like this?
Angel “interview” Mia:

Oh, p.s. …. I think the other kids are around for the “interview”. I think there may have been “interviews” aplenty.

Is Leo actually TOUCHING Brigette’s face with that bedazzled claw of hers? She’s rude! She pranced acorss the room to start some shit with Brigette. So, how is Brigette the only one in trouble. Some say Brigette shouldn’t have stood up (some, no one here, Gasmii have sense), but if someone hadn’t pranced over to Brigette’s side of the room then it wouldn’t have mattered if Brigette stood. And putting a hand in someone’s face so close is asking for that hand to be moved. It is an automatic thing with a lot of people… something comes at their face, they bat it away.
Forget who started it. If it hadn’t been for that fuss, we wouldn’t have gotten to see Angel’s grand jeté!
Something a Kimmie and Lucas fan made (cute)

the rumor has been mia wasnt on the show to start with because her mom was to “demanding” … don’t know if it’s true or not , just something I read online. I also read that her mom originally didnt want to be on the show bc of the negativity the pittsburgh mothers and daughters faced. I find that one hard to believe with the way she promotes mia. On a side not i’m glad other saw the maddia/mia “favoritism” comparison
I’m sad to read that they were finally making stuff up for this show because I completely agree that I preferred the reality of this show to the outright made-up-ness of Pittsburgh. It did bug me a little that they weren’t bothering to change the kids’ clothes or hair for their interviews; there was one episode where Jessi was talking about being nervous about something and I thought, “Since you obviously taped this the same day as all of your interviews for the preceding four episodes I can assume what you’re nervous about happened as long ago as those events did.” But that wasn’t as bad as making up competitions or pretending that you were filming a beef jerky commercial and also pretending that you were letting your daughter be in said commercials even though you supposedly hate the woman who’s pretending to make the commercial. That just got to be too insulting.
Also, it seemed like a lot of the comments on Pittsburgh 2 would begin “I’m so sick of this — bring on Miami.” And then as soon as Miami started it was “This sucks. Can’t wait for Pittsburgh to come back.” I feel so uncool for watching either of these shows!
Lucas (and/or Brigette) is twittering photos like crazy as is Victor. Among all of those this video answering the questions, “is Lucas leaving Stars? What about Jessi?”
http://t.co/O6919qv5
I meant Lucas usually runs his twitter, but sometimes Brigette does since he is only 10.
Btw, Chloe just turned 11 (per her twitter).
Well, the mystery of the fug costumes has been solved (for me). From the previous season (not Victor’s, but surely he watches) of SYTYCD.

Is Starbooty really the best route for young dancers? I have been looking up some highly rated routines and I am just not sure. Jabby says “dark wins”, but there also seem to be a lot of stripper dances (sans stripping). No wonder Jabby thought that the “topless showgirls” routine was o.k. and no wonder the producers thought so, too! After they saw what other places were putting out there, Jabby’s routine was more restrained. And no wonder moms put up with ugly foot and sumo pose at Stars. It may not be pretty, but it’s not a burlesque routine either. But I still say, the faces some of these girls make (on these shows only Mia does this) are outlandish. These girls don’t know. Mia is extraordinarily good at mimicry, btw… so hers are particularly convincing. Maybe get that out of her head and put her in acting class instead?

I posted this on the minicap too. I actually love this dance minus a few moves that are too provocative, but Autumn Miller also has the “faces” that seem highly inappropriate for her age. That is not the same as “Dance face” I did dance face and it was not sexy. My boyfriend laughed at me when he saw me doing it. I bordered more on the goofy side with a huge grin and I would wink and do surprise face but it was not at all anywhere near being like I was trying to be turning someone on. More like “OMG I AM SO EXCITED TO BE DANCING UP HERE LOOK AT ME!”
I kinda want Autumn Miller and her mom on Dance Moms California.
I found this youtube of Autumn and her dance teacher mother doing a duet together. Kinda makes me sad I never had a little girl.
They get the idea for some of the faces from stuff like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDPR5EoYqOs&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Sophia Lucia dances to this song, actually. I didn’t watch her performance. But, Christina Aguilera doesn’t make faces constantly… probably because she’s singing. However, some of the favs of these kids are in there. I don’t consider this clip dirty or anything, but those are grown women prancing around which makes all of the difference. I can see kids being allowed to watch this because she is wearing clothes and she doesn’t curse or anything. When I was a kid, I know I would have looked at it and thought, “oooooo, she’s so pretty!” She kind of looks like superstar Barbie in a shorter dress.
The Miller mom and daughter dance is interesting because it is age neutral.
What kills me about dmm, and dm, is that I grew up in this world. It IS fairly crazy. They really wouldn’t have to “stage” much to make it interesting, but they do– in a way that is insulting to all the adults, and damaging to the kids. They are, after all, KIDS. Whether mckenzie or jessi, they are children. Their parents and “teachers” can be outrageous as they want to be for the sake of the cameras, but these are actual human children, with real talent, and actual careers besides “reality” shows at stake. We’re not talking “toddlers and tiaras” where that might be all they really have to hope for. It’s just really not okay. Bless ani, and dr holly, who actually seem to care about how this might impact their daughters’ futures.
Someone posted this another place I lurk to prove Hannah is given the fugliest poses. Here are the Stars kids (sans Mia) getting their picture made as a group

I prefer Miami to PGH, Pittsburgh is so fake. Also, Mia and Leo originally refused to do the show but then Mia wanted to do it so they added her later.
