Dance Moms: Season 2, Episode 6 LIVE BLOG

• "Last week we were out-dance" Abby...true story!
• Secaucus New Jersey=heavy hitters? What the what??
• Yay McKenzie, top of the pyramid!! You go girl!
• No group routine, all solos, I love this idea!
• Uh oh, we're certain to get some trailer trash costumes
• Holly does not have time to make Nia's costume, no way
• Christie breaks all the rules, yet she's calling out Jill for trying to break a costume rule?
• Jill, I'm calling you on it, get your street shoes off the dance floor!
• Oooo, digital pyramid at Candy Apples
• I bet hardly anybody shows up for Cathy's open call
• "My solo this week is a Spanish influence" -Maddy
• I love that Maddy is like a miniature adult, she's so grown up in that little body
• Abby is being tres harsh on Maddy these last few weeks
• Jill clearly knows nothing of "paying your dues
• Looks like Cathy is about to get a little taste of some "dance moms" herself
• Cathy is clearly loving Peyton, duh Abby trained her and she's fantastic
• Why did Peyton try out if she doesn't want to make the drive
• Wow Leslie is getting into it with Cathy
• Headed back to the Burgh, Leslie is about to crawl back to Abby
• Christi is spot on, with ballet there is a right and a wrong way, no gray area
• I've had comps cancelled last minute...it sucks
• I've also had to dance on a gym floor before...that sucks too
• Now a sane teacher would use these solos for next week since they didn't make it to a competition yet
• Christi, stop calling out Jill, who cares if she reused a costume
• Abby is wearing the heck out of all those sparkles right now
• Touche Christi, Jill's hat is heinous
• This whole costume thing is ridonkulous, unreal
• Holly is the only one of these moms who is a real person
• Note to Jill, never make your child stop dancing, never do it, the chance to dance is fleeting
• Did Melissa steal Melissa's top
• Oh boy, Maddy was more worried about upsetting Abby than breaking your hip
• Oh boy, Abby is criticizing that Maddy bailed mid-acro move
• Paige is adorable, I love her facial expressions
• Good for Paige, she won and that's awesome
• Buh-bye Jill

Dance Moms: Season 2, Episode 4 LIVE BLOG

• Hollywood Vibe is a great competition, I used to compete there, Chris Smith the owner is awesome
• Will Kendall ever get off of probation?
• Abby just announced Chloe as the top of the pyramid through very clenched teeth
• Group number about bullying, funny when Abby is a bully
• Why is Nia the bully? Oh boy, this is going to stir up the stink!
• I love that Nia calls her "Miss Abby"
• Abby is losing her voice, that's like music to my ears!
• Wow, Abby really struck a chord with Chloe this time, I missed what happened!
• I really don't know why Abby has it out for Chloe, it's like she wants her to lose to Maddy and then she'll be slightly civil again
• Congrats to Brooke on making the cheer team...if she wants to do that it's awesome for her
• Nia is such a little ham, I love it
• I loved the look on Brooke's face when all the little kids were hanging all over her
• Jill, go to Candy Apples, you remind me of Cathy
• On the other hand, Leslie looks like she fits right in
• Oh no, Paige just got axed from the trio, the trio is sacred!
• Thank goodness Leslie is asking the question we all want to know "Why do they stay in the studio when they all complain all the time?"
• They are all acting crazy and they're only drinking coffee this time
• This costume debacle is like every week with these people, this looks very Britney Spears circa "Baby One More Time"
• Maddy needs to get that free leg up to parallel on those a la seconde turns and straighten out those legs on the aerial
• I'm always saying this but, Chloe has a more mature look than Maddy
• Peyton is totally the voice of reason amongst all of this crazy
• I love that the moms are put on probation with the kids, it's so fitting
• Ok so we've got some blocking issues on this trio
• What do these 10-year-olds know about "problems with men"
• Obviously Chloe wasn't going to sit on the tap mic
• Abby is putting Chloe in a very crazy place
• It's getting so hard to tell what is real and what is put on
• Here we go, the group number is always on the verge of being a hot, tranny mess, but then it's great
• Good for you Peyton, you are standing up for yourself when your buttons are pushed
• This was a weird episode, I feel like everything and nothing happened all at the same time

Dance Moms: Season 2, Episode 2 LIVE BLOG

• Here we go, Abby is stomping around and getting the girls ready for CANDY APPLES
• I love that "She" automatically means Cathy
• Kendall sweetie, don't you get that in Abby's world, your best isn't good enough?
• These "apple" references are so overdone
• This new mom needs to get to the program, Jill is it?
• Oh boy, this mom did NOT just call out Holly, she'll be sorry
• This group is indeed like a sorority, you got it Christi
• If Jill walks into the studio in shoes, she's clearly never been in a dance studio before
• The look on Kelly's face when Jill confronts Abby is priceless, I'm dying!
• Those shots of Cathy's kids aren't half bad, but Vivvy doesn't belong in that group
• Do these women work? Or are they just ladies who lunch?
• I wish they'd let Brooke do something other than acro please!
• I love that Vivi is just like bopping along in the background while Erica is rehearsing
• "I cut my finger on my mom's ring, I hope I can still dance" -Vivi #priceless
• Christi bringing out the program books is just ridiculous, there is no reason to put down a kid dear
• What is with this "rat" thing?
• I love that Abby just asked Kelly if she's drinking, haha
• I love that Maddie and Melissa aren't the enemies this season, that's a refreshing change
• I actually like the way that Cathy interacts with her dancers, at least from what I can see
• The way Kelly says "costumes" is so annoying!
• The whole "gifting Abby" thing is kind of ridiculous
• And then she just asked for a husband, I'm sure this show has them lining up
• Cathy is trying to seduce the dance moms to the Candy Apple studio, I die!
• Who knew there were high rollers in Columbus?!
• Abby did not get an A in hair design!
• Abby, dance teacher who want specific hair pieces get the same thing for everybody
• This choreography is really cute, though the costumes and hair are heinous
• Way too many crotch shots in that piece
• Abby has a point, what is she supposed to do about Cathy entering kids in a younger age category?
• Abby's girls had a right win, they were more polished while Cathy's girls flailed a lot
• I love Brooke's commitment to the makeup
• Brooke is old enough to show some expression other than a smile, but that was nice execution of the piece
• This whole age thing is ridiculous, they're competing against a score anyway
• Oh boy Cathy is calling out Christi for wearing a cheap dress, this is so typical

Dance Moms: October 5th Live Blog

11:00 See you all next season! I'll try to keep up with Dance Moms in the off-season and let you know all the gossip!
10:59 No rest for Abby's dancers because she is "taking the gloves off next season". But wait, where were the gloves this season?
10:57 So how much do you want to bet that Lux is a one-hit wonder?
10:56 Aww yay Chloe, she looks so good in this role!
10:54 Melissa can "be happy Maddy didn't get the lead" all she wants but this was just such a great moment for Chloe
10:53 Yet another great McKenzie aside: "these directors are like Abby, they yell a lot"
10:52 If Melissa gets upset every time that Maddy doesn't get a part, she should not be in this business
10:50 And it's CHLOE!! I love that they said she has "that special something that is working for the video" and not that she looks the most like Lux
10:47 If Maddy doesn't get this part, we know that she, Melissa, and Abby will be going OFF about how it was about "look" and not "talent"
10:45 Okay shut it Maddy, we get that you have confidence but not everybody has that all the time dear
10:44 I love that Nia knows she won't get the part because of her look and just goes for the death drop; also she is so well spoken so props to Dr. Holly
10:44 I'm sure it is mostly to be blamed on editing, but Maddy is just obnoxious tonight
10:43 I'm going to be honest, I was expecting this season finale to be much better than it is
10:42 Wait, her name is Lux? Obviously Chloe looks most like a mini-Lux
10:41 Great McKenzie moment: "I just cry sometimes, it's no big deal"
10:40 Maddy just got the attitude going when she said "I filled in because I can dance with anybody"
10:38 I love that Abby just told the boys to make her girls look good because "that is their job" and then she goes on a tirade about how the boy needs to be 6 inches taller than his partner
10:37 Those costumes are bomb....OMG look at the little boys how cute!
10:31 I kind of agree with Melissa that there are no rules in this business....it's cut-throat
10:30 Acting is amazing therapy, isn't it Chloe?
10:28 Of course Maddy is getting a private rehearsal with Gianna, duh
10:27 Seven just told Melissa that Maddy has "talent" but didn't come right out and say she has "the it factor".....dun, dun, dun
10:22 Melissa is a little delusional when she says that it's "obvious" that Maddy will get the lead if it is based on dance. Chloe is just as good a dancer technically, but she gets blocked when it comes to performance
10:21 The salon trip was cool because it gave them a chance to actually be kids
10:18 So watching Mackenzie dance with that 20-year-old guy is just creepy. It was slightly less awkward with Chloe because she is tall for her age. Is that weird that I said that?
10:17 Is this choreographer 12? Also who else loved the way that Maddy's chin went up when they said one dancer would be the star
10:16 Cute suggestion Abby...I definitely saved some of the auditions numbers from my better auditions
10:15 They picked Abby's girls as an "all girl dance group for a new pop star".......okay so that's not staged at all.....nice going Lifetime
10:14 I love that Mackenzie is not even paying attention at all lol
10:09 Well of course they are doing "their tricks" for the improv section
10:08 Auditioning definitely teaches you to develop a thick skin & you have to love yourself because they aren't always going to like you
10:07 Oh dear, I know all too well about cattle call auditions; ps why isn't this episode 2-hours?
10:06 So that wasn't hip-hop Abby, that was jazz, maybe "street jazz" if you're lucky
10:05 Mackenzie's asides are just so funny and candid, it's so cute when she talks about Abby
10:03 Thinking of Abby doing hip hop is just so disturbing
10:00 Here we go...season finale....I'm sure all "you know what" will break loose
