Jabby sticks her head in to call them into pyramid. Christi interviews that everyone was happy to see her except Kelly, who should have been the most excited.

Pyramid. Jabby says she heard that Detroit was a tough city and the rumors are true. They got beat. (And so did she – with Cathy’s pocketbook!) She says that Cathy is a fake and a phony and an embarrassment to Jabby’s vocation. Well, maybe. But she’s an embarrassment who beat you.

Jabby reminds them that she pulled Paige and Nia’s duet because Holly was “out of control.” Holly says she wants it on record that she was defending her daughter because Jabby was being insensitive about Nia’s health issues (i.e. the issues she’s never mentioned before and probably won’t ever mention again).

Anyway, Jabby says she’s not putting up with nonsense anymore. Then she acknowledges that one of their “team members” (whom she won’t address by name) was suspended. Suspension is the last step before dismissal. Therefore, said team member will not be on the pyramid.

We are back to revealing the pyramid bottom-up and last is Nia, who should have expected as much because of her mom’s behavior. Then there’s Paige, who got “thrown under the bus” with the duet. Then Kendall, because her solo didn’t make the top 10. Does she think she will continue to get solos? Hell no.

Second row, Mackenzie, because she was excellent in the group number. Next is Brooke and it’s her first time in a long time officially being a part of the team.

Finally, on top we have – obviously – Maddie because she came in first and because she’s Maddie.

This week, the caravan is heading to Fort Lauderdale for IN10SITY, which must be the only competition Lifetime hasn’t alienated yet. Everyone will be in the group number and it will be called Money is the Root of all Evil. Christi interviews that Jabby is the Root of all Evil might be more appropriate, but I think that would be a little too conceptual. The coshtumes will be emerald green like the color of money (and envy!) and there will be real dollar bills incorporated.

Maddie will be getting a solo “obviously.” Brooke will too, and Kelly says she needs to prove that she wants to be there. Poor Brooke. She wants to be there about as much as I do.

Group rehearsal. Jabby tells the girls that the number is “bluesy” and they should think of a nightclub or speakeasy. Because 11-year-old girls are so familiar with speakeasies, after all.

Upstairs, Holly is commenting that their kids don’t go to speakeasies, or even bars because they are underage. That’s why she is a doctor, you guys. Wicked smahhhht, that Holly. Either Shrill has spent her entire life under a rock where they don’t show Boardwalk Empire or she is contractually obligated to give us some exposition, because she looks up “speakeasy” on her phone.

It says “twenty-three skidoo”

    Christi and Kelly have issues they need resolved because those nasty tweets by Kelly makes me believe something serious happened. We might have two moms with buns in the oven…Christi and Melissa!

    Something I noticed…Holly is the only one who actually says “costume” instead of “coshtume”. What a doctor indeed!

    Because I am just that bored, I went back through every recap with pictures of Christi’s hands shown and a ring was clearly evident in the summer of 2011 (this only means that that was the only other time that hand was clearly visible).

    Who are all these random people in the background when the moms are upstairs? They are distracting me from Christi’s emotional moment.

    How do I change my screen name? I seem to have the same name (whoochile) as another poster. Yikes, why are the captcha codes so hard to read? Seriously, am I that old?

    even though i still don’t think christi looks obviously pregnant, this episode-long outburst makes me think she could be. god knows my entire first trimester was spent RAGING at my husband over the stupidest shit. i’m only in my early second trimester and i am still not “showing,” but my stomach is definitely puffier, so maybe that’s what’s going on with christi. i don’t know. i’m basing my change of mind on her behavior more than on her figure. as for the beer, eh, she could be one of those people who thinks drinking an occasional drink is okay (which it is considered okay in many countries, and i personally don’t think it’s a problem; i’m just too paranoid to do it myself, but i have many cousins from other countries who had a drink every few months or weeks during their pregnancies, as their countries’ obs consider it okay, and everything always turned out fine. *shrug*). anyway! i do feel like that’s the kind of stupid fight i personally wouldn’t have normally but can see myself having had a few weeks ago thanks to good ol’ hormones.

    enjoy your vacation — i’m jealous! i was hoping to go on an anniversary trip to spain in a couple of months but now i’m going to have to skip it because of the baby. hope you have a griswold-less vacation, indeed (not that it wouldn’t make for some amusing stories).

    Ok, so I just re-watched the scene of Melissa and Christi at the lounge! I never see Christi actually take a drink of her beverage, just Melissa. The glass was full in the two shots I saw, and then at the end of the scene, BOTH of their glasses were completely empty. Could it be that the producers were staging that shot to make us think Christi was drinking, but they just emptied the glass at some point since we never see her drink it? Too much CSI type crap for me LOL

    Not only is the glass empty, it is clean, with no sign it ever held a beverage. Yet more staged crap.

    I hope in five years, once this show has faded into the reality TV graveyard, we see an a article about Abby Lee losing her dance studio because no students wanted to be berated by her. One can only hope!

    Ok, so i see the tweets SnoopK8 included here, and notice they match up with conclusions people had already drawn here based on the timeline of the \parking lot protest\ coinciding with rumors/tweets/etc of contract disputes from around the same time. Ok, makes sense, but now here is what I wonder…

    I don’t believe for a moment that Kelly ever planned to leave *DM*. Leaving *Abby* sure, as long as she would still be on the show.

    So… if the parking lot protest was about the contracts, money, etc… Why wasn’t Kelly part of the protest? Am I wrong and she really was leaving and/or considering leaving at the time? Or did she simply decline to participate in the protest (and maybe this could have something to do with the sudden animosity betwenn K and C)? Or was she part of the contract protest like everybody else and they edited her out of protest footage (and/or filmed/refilmed protest footage after the fact, remember how people noticed the replacements being welcomed in the sign in the background of the parking lots scenes)?

    Thoughts???

    whoochile: I actually like these new advertising based captcha’s because I find them so much *easier* then the distorted text ones…

    (Not sure why I put an apostrophe in “captcha’s”. I wouldn’t bother apologizing for such a trivial typo anyway, except certain errant apostrophe-S mistakes get a lot of flack here.)

    I miss the days when this show gave us gold, like Mackenzie’s “I just want to sit on the couch and eat chips”. And episodes where the fighting only took up about 15% of the show. They either need another younger permanent team member to contribute funny interviews, or they need to just have a conversation with Mackenzie and let the film roll (without suggesting things for her to say…) so we can get some new, more enjoyable quotes/moments.

    I couldn’t even make it through this episode. Once I realized they were down to a story line about grown ass women unfriending each other on Facebook it was like something fell off the shelf.

    I’m not sure where they can take this show now. I just wish they’d get the little girls off of it.

    Literally laughed outloud at the make it rain comment lol!!!

    Random ppl in the background are parents who are not/do not have a child on the show but still dance at ALDC.

    I think Nia will be the only child who makes it out of here without being scarred for life. And maybe Brooke because she genuinely acts like she could give two f***s.

    Was the thing about Facebook on the new episode? Or did I somehow miss that? I thought the fight between Kelly and Christi was because Kelly didn’t call a stalker-ish number of times while Christi was pouting…

    are there no other dance studios that these talented girls could go to?? It would be a cold day in hell before some fat angry pig yelled at my child!

    No, their was no actual defriending on facebook (idk if they even have facebooks) it was just a clever title the producers or whoever decides the title thought up to describe their rediculous fight. Kind of like the Bye Bye Baby title for this week

    I know everyone saw Lucas from DMM on stage, but did anyone catch his mom in the audience sitting behind Abby and the moms? I’m sure she strategically placed herself there to get some camera time. I couldn’t find any other DMM kids on stage…but I would assume they were there, since the comp was in Ft. Lauderdale?
