Dance Moms Recap: Uncalled For


She helpfully tells us that speakeasies are also sometimes referred to as “blind pigs” or “blind tigers.” Well there you go. Now you will ace trivia night at your local pub.

Christi is sitting there all Bitter Betty and says she feels like an outsider because she wasn’t there last week. Holly says everything was quiet and business as usual until Saturday when she got into a fight with Jabby and Cathy attacked Jabby with her purse. I mean, it’s not like any of this hasn’t happened before, so it’s not like Christi REALLY missed anything. Well, maybe not the purse beatdown, but the rest is bidness as usual.

Kelly wants to know why Christi was not answering her calls or texts all week. Christi says that Kelly called her once and didn’t leave a message. Kelly claims she texted Christi a few times and Christi says she never got them because she always answers Kelly’s texts. Kelly wants to know why Christi didn’t call HER and Christi says she was having a bad week and she was waiting for Kelly to call her. She’s sorry if she missed one call.

Then she gets up to leave, clearly upset about something, and tells the moms to “go ahead and chitchat away.”

When she leaves, Shrill asks Kelly what the dealio is. Kelly says Christi told her that Kelly only called her once and didn’t leave a message, but she never leaves messages and why didn’t Christi just see that she had called and call her back? Oh my god, this is the most ridiculous fight ever. 

Christi comes back to sit in the booth because she says she’s not going to play games. Kelly still doesn’t understand why Christi is mad at her. Christi says she’s mad over what happened and she was waiting for Kelly to call her. Kelly says she DID call her. Christi says her feelings are hurt, Kelly should know how bad “this” sucks and when Kelly was going through “shit,” Christi called her every day. Kelly again says she did call her. Christi says yeah on FRIDAY. Kelly says no, she called on SUNDAY, the day of the comp and the day Christi left. Christi says “yeah, all you said is ‘are you okay? I miss my partner in crime.’” Now it’s Kelly’s turn to storm off.

The next day, Christi says that when she left, there was tension between Melissa and Jabby and Maddie, but that all seems resolved now. She says Melissa seems to be on good terms again with Jabby and asks her what happened. Melissa says that Jabby realized that this was her team and they need each other. Kelly snarks that it’s because Sophia decided she didn’t want to be on the team and Jabby knew she was stuck with Maddie. Melissa acknowledges that Sophia is not there anymore. It looks like Christi is crying.

I should never have mixed gin and tequila

    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???

    (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…

    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?
