So anyway, I don’t even know what we’re talking about anymore, but Kaya calls them all a bunch of “bitter, toxic-ass women.” Shrill’s like, “so why do you want to be one of us?” Kaya says she doesn’t. Good, because you were only here on spec. No contract for you.
Now it’s time for the race relations portion of the show. Jeff asks if Kaya felt betrayed by Holly. Kaya says she thought Holly would’ve had her back more. Kaya says that Nia totally lit up when Nicaya arrived because there was another girl there who looked like her. Holly agrees that she was glad Nia had someone else to relate to, but she (Holly) doesn’t base things on the color of skin, but on the content of character. I’m sure Dance Moms is exactly what Martin Luther King, Jr. had in mind when he made that speech. Holly says that Kaya’s tirade in the dressing room was like something out of a 70s B movie. Kaya says she was upset because she heard the moms talking shit about her in the dressing room.
Jeff says that Kaya has the floor to tell each mom whatever she wants. She says Cathy’s a blast, Melissa needs new friends, Kelly is the epitome of a crazy stage mom, Christi is too tough for her liking and Shrill is a chameleon whose opinion changes based on who she’s sitting next to. To Holly, she apologizes but still says she wishes Holly’d had her back more. Oh, and in this exchange we learn that Christi worked at Hooters. Is that true?
Next, we go to break and when we come back, the girls are there! Jeff calls them the “real” stars of the show, which is why we only get to see them in the last five minutes of a two-hour reunion show.
You guys are totally the stars. But we may have to cut you to fit in another Army Wives promo.
Jeff has one question for each girl:
Nia – best memory of Dance Moms? Nia: being with my friends and getting better as a dancer.
Mackenzie – favorite part of the makeup? (WTF kind of dumbass question is that?) Mack: lip gloss! LOL.
Maddie – favorite part of being on show? Maddie: learning a new dance every week and competing. (Left unsaid: kicking Chloe’s ass every week.)
Brooke – more music in future? Brooke: love singing, would love to get my voice out there.
Paige – biggest lesson Jabby taught you? – Paige: how to apply eyeliner and how to eat spaghetti. (And she wonders why Jabby thinks she’s not into dance.)
Chloe – where did new confidence come from? Chloe: Lux video and winning lots of group dances.
Kendall – if you could dance with anyone living or dead who would it be? Kendall: Michael Jackson
Vivi – who’s a better teacher, your mom or Jabby? Vivi: for the love of god, get me out of here!
Okay, if you’re not going to free me, can you just kill me?
If you like it, spread it!:

Cathy said “star quality” not “star power”.
@Gwen – Ah, that actually makes more sense. I regret the error and blame somebody else.
“I’m sure Dance Moms is exactly what Martin Luther King, Jr. had in mind when he made that speech.” Hahaha
I must admit I will miss the snarky recaps, they’re much better than the actual show and they literally make me LOL at my computer (as my roommates give me confused looks).
Why does Vivi always look like a creepy doll? She never smiles, always has this blank look on her face… does any one else get that?
Great recap! I’m going to miss your recaps as well. Will you be recapping Abby’s dance challenge (or whatever it’s called)? I’m sure I’ll end up watching it.. Looks like plenty of mom drama from the clips, which is disappointing because it would be more fun just to see a real competition between the dancers. Why do the moms need to be involved?? I know. I know.. Drama!
Wish the girls were on more, and definitely wish they had a better host then Jeff Collins. He didn’t ask any good questions, and if he did ask anything somewhat interesting, he turned the conversation onto something else.
I think the 2nd half was definitely better than the 1st & IMO you didn’t do it justice *ducks for cover*. There were a lot of interesting things that came out & you sort of just rushed through & skipped them all. I def think Kaya’s segment deserved more detail, especially the part where she explained WHY she lost her shit on those beeyotches. But I digress. This has been a looonnnnggg season & you deserve to get it over with! It’s been a hilarious ride with you!
vivi cant be free..her soul belongs to the dance gods….and that hair thing in her hair makes her look 5 yrs old!!!
ms abby was just in the news..shes saying that honey boo boo child needs to get into dance floor and lose the fat…..im not joking!!!
poor brooke…shes getting too old to be dancing with the other but on facebook yesterday the kids shows pics of the new dancer and she’s not the child of black patsy..the new girl is white..cute..”opp’s is this a sign that brookes leaving”.
Mr. Random Producer is no Andy Cohen.
This reunion was a complete waste of time; two hours I will NEVER get back. I have many complaints about it; mainly that they ‘rehashed’ stuff that happened on the first season. This season was so long, I had forgotten the first one even existed. This was lame, uninformative, chirpy, and boring. The only reason I even watched it was because my dvr recorded it, and I had nothing else to do.
Thanks for recapping them, though! I have enjoyed your recaps all season (all five years of it!!)
ooh, happy to read you’ll be recapping 666 park avenue! i have my dvr set; it’s the only new show i’m interested in checking out this season.
i do think i will be amongst those watching next season, at least at the beginning. i don’t think i have the energy to watch her other show, though. it’s just too much.
your comment about dance moms/dr. king had me envisioning him getting a dance moms preview as he was writing the speech, crumpling it up, throwing it in a wastebasket, and pouring himself a scotch. bahahaha.
@moonbeam1133 — i agree; vivi has no expression. it’s probably because she’s using all her energy on plotting her revenge.
@alicecarroll13 — haha! really? why doesn’t abby lose some weight on the dance floor, then? how rude. why would she comment on honey boo boo’s weight? even if she weren’t large herself, wtf?!
Vivi – ugh, that poor child. She just looks so miserable. Or maybe uncomfortable is a better word. I think she’s old enough to realize that she’s not really that great of a dancer and she doesn’t like being put in the spotlight. I just feel bad for her.
@alicecaroll13 – where is the pic of the new girl?
My favorite part of the show was when Christi said that Melissa has an excuse of every time that Maddie loses… I was hoping they would play a montage of every time that Christi said that Maddie had better choreography, costume, more attention, etc. But alas I didn’t get my montage…
In that picture of Cathy and Vivi, Vivi totally looks like a ventriloquist dummy! That poor little girl…
For some reason I am not getting e-mails telling me that there are comments. Very frustrating!! Is anyone else having this problem?
I would like to know more about the “new girl”? Can you tell me where you found that picture? I’ve looked on facebook, but can’t find it. Is it on a particular girls, or moms, site?
@dani — yep; I haven’t been getting my subscribed emails for anything on this site for weeks now. it is totally frustrating.
@ellemenop Do you really want to see Abby lose weight on the dance floor? That is something I do not want to witness.
snoopk8- loved the breakfast club reference! Love your recaps to- I think I subbed for you once this season- and i loved recapping this crazy sh*t show- but you are the master.
I thought Vivi looked a little less “unfortunate” at the reunion. Of course, it could have been the tranny lashes and 8 inches of grout Cathy slathered on her poor little hostage face… I agree. FREE VIVI
Great job this season… all 26 months of it.
xo,
MisRed
Lifetime has not put up part 2 yet and I check everyday. Damn y0u Lifetime!
I do like the Jill on this reunion show. I would totally hang out with fun snarky and non whiny Jill.
ps thanks for the shout out haha! Too funny that Mackenzie also asked about it and noticed it. I liked Jabby’s answer, at least it was clever.
I think 666 Park Avenue looks interesting so I might watch it and if I do I will be reading your recaps. They put in on after Revenge which I adore so maybe it is a similar type show. Will have to see.
So far only new show I have tried is Revolution and so far I like it even though my husband and I think after 15 years peeps would learn to adapt better.
oh yeah forgot to say yay for Kendall and the dancing with Michael Jackson. That would be my answer too. I adores him! All my friends joke because anytime they want me to dance they just put MJ on and I start doing that dance routine from whichever video it happens to be. I know them all. My friends have a great video of me dancing to Beat It at their wedding in full character.
BIG NEWS COMING FROM THE KIDS ON DANCE MOMS THAT CANT KEEP SECRETS…lol
a young girl named Angela is trying out at abby for season 3…it looks like brooke might be stepping away from the show….angela is round the age of the other girls…dont ya just love facebook and how the girls start talking……….naughty….naughty!!!
It got renewed for a 3rd season and it has 26 or 27 episodes which I think is even longer then this one. Sorry Snoopk8 xD
