Dance Moms Recap: Uncalled For


Melissa interviews that it’s a good thing they are going to IN10SITY this week because of all the “INTENSE” feelings going around. (Also because nobody else will have them.)

At the competition, Melissa asks Kelly if she went out with Christi the night before. Kelly says no, they’re still not talking. Melissa says she doesn’t think Kelly did anything wrong. Of course, a few scenes ago, she was saying the same thing to Christi so either she really doesn’t care or she is back to being Melissa the Ass-kissa.

Holly is concerned because Christi is being quieter than usual. Christi says maybe she’s turned over a new leaf.

Kelly complains about Paige and Nia not getting same amount of rehearsal time as Maddie (complaint # 438 in the handbook) and that devolves into the usual yelling and threats to pull the duet again. But Jabby must be in a good mood this week because she agrees to let them go on anyway.

Christi interviews that there is a huge elephant in the room and for once it isn’t Jabby. Heh. Kelly says to Christi that she will talk to her after Paige and Brooke dance. Christi’s just like “whatev, bitch.”

Maddie’s solo is up first and it’s kind of intense.

It still looks familiar though so talk about a “new Maddie” seems premature. But Jabby says she came back strong and her technique was superb.

Brooke’s solo is next. Looks like she’s still doing the same acro moves.

Jabby says she nailed it and the old Brooke is back.

Duet.

I thought it was cute, although not perfect. Jabby says they could have danced better, but it turned out okay because it’s a musical theater number and therefore telling a story.

In the green room, Jabby tells them all they did a good job. She pulls Nia aside and explains why she pulled the duet last week. She says everything happens for a reason and she wants Nia to understand that this was her way of nipping Holly’s bad behavior in the bud.

Meanwhile, temperatures in hell plummet

Holly’s impressed and asks if this is Jabby’s version of an apology. Of course, once a Jabby, always a Jabby, so she says no, she’s glad she pulled the duet.

The girls get ready for the group and Jabby’s yelling about putting dollar bills on the costumes. Holly doesn’t think they need to use real money, but how else are they going to get used to life on the pole?

Group dance. I guess this week they are supposed to be honky tonk strippers or something.

Shawty make it rain

But they do a pretty good job. Jabby calls it “innovative” and “different” even though it’s pretty much the same as every other number they do.

    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!

    Did anyone else notice that in her picture, Christi is not wearing any rings??

    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

    Good catch CTRParent I was going to ask if we saw her actually drink it.

    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?
