What big question do YOU have from this epsiode? Drop them below....we're answering on the After Party!

Comments

Brianna Burton

- This is close to the time Dance Mums UK started being promoted, do you all know anything about that show and would you be willing to watch it for pillow talk or even a special BTTB episode to say your opinions?

Brianna Burton

- This season is when the girls especially Maddie start to book a lot of professional jobs. Isn’t it against dance competition rules for professional working dancers to compete?

hawaii20300

not a question but did you Listen to the podcast payton was just on?

Alyssa Helton

Yes!! Do you think if Maddie would’ve actually done the dance kendall did… would she have had the mirror prop and scar?! I personally am undecided because it was very unlike abby to give Maddie a prop…. But who knows! Thoughts?

Pia

You and holly seemed to feel bad for Kenzie when Abby was laughing at her and Melissa and Jill were laughing. we’re the producers making Melissa look bad or did she really not see a problem in Abby laughing at her daughter crying

Brianna Burton

- Why does Janet (Ava’s mom) not like Christi? She went on an interview recently throwing shade at Christi.

Audriana

I’m confused how Jade and Chloe were even in the same age category. Who did Abby think she was fooling with this “match up”?

Taylor J

I remember them saying that all of the girls were technically professionals because they were all on the TV show, so they had to pass off any winning money they got to the second place winner

William Grubbs

Even tho y’all don’t talk to Gia do you guys talk to Janine?

Bailey

Do y’all think the producers kept bringing in kids whose mom’s own studios to see if they would argue with Abby? For all of the extra dancers they bring in, most of them come from studios owned by their mom, and it definitely seems like a deliberate thing to do for extra drama. You can also tell which moms stay because they won’t speak up to Abby, so they don’t usually come back. On a completely different note, did the girls ever have issues with hair loss/breakage because of how tight their hair was always done?

Halle Pavelski

In the reunion Janet says that Abby told her to “do whatever you have to do to get Christi out” so I honestly think she was playing into that.. just my thoughts I wasn’t there😂

Bailey

I also 100% believe Abby came up with the “I had a dance but we aren’t doing it” excuse because she wanted them to fail. Same thing with taking Mackenzie out of the dance, she wanted them to fail. STOP IT I JUST SAW THE MATCHING STAR BRACELET TO THE STAR RING.

Brianna Burton

She just did an interview recently speaking kinda poorly about Christi. Seems like something more than tv beef

Brianna Burton

In this episode apparently Abby called Mackenzie’s stomach a name and told her to change and cover herself up since she can’t suck in her stomach. What was the reaction from the moms when Abby would say stuff like this

Mindi Kruse

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. 😔🤗

Cathy only drives a c class

Was the entire “pulling Mackenzie out of the group dance to go into the teen category” a production thing? It seemed so dumb to pull Mackenzie’s out to avoid competing against studio bleu just end up in the same category as them. It seemed overly produced and annoying to watch as a viewer. Watching these episodes where it’s all about Maddie is repetitive and frustrating. I’m only rewatching season 4 bc you ladies are recapping and it’s interesting to know what happened bts. Even the podcast does not have the same vibes as previous seasons but ik you ladies are doing your best. Love you both hoping you have a smooth recovery Kelly 💕

Brianna Burton

If you think season 4 is all about Maddie it’s way worse in season 5. Season 5 is quite literally the Maddie and Melissa show.

Linzers

Did you guys realize at the time that you were spilling Abby's grand scheme to avoid competing against Studio Bleu to the producers? You guys obviously knew what Abby was trying to pull so I'm curious to know if you guys were purposely ruining her plan or not. She's pretty dang sneaky! Love you bitches! 🩵

Hailee Innis

Was it hard for Chloe and you (Christi) for Chloe to continue to have solos that just were a jab at her or you? Was Jade’s mom upset with her solo?

Leona

Did any of the select moms reach out to you since you started recaping season 4? I saw Christy had a lot to say… literally no comment with that one 😂

Leona

they said that her feet were problematic at best

Leona

See, I don’t agree with that, not that I’m attacking, just disagreeing. I think season 5 is all about Jill and Holly. Kendall becomes the new favorite and Abby is awful to Nia, but Maddie is absent a lot because she worked with Sia

Leona

I have an opinion on these select moms and would like to know if you agree: Loree was trying to be like Holly on the show so hard Jody was trying to be Melissa Tami was trying to outdo Jill’s outfits Jeanette was trying to be Holly but friends with Abby like Melissa I honestly think that the whole idea of the select team is good but it had very poor casting and you guys had no chemistry with them I think that when they want to cast someone should first see how they function with you because the 5 of you moms are the real stars of the show, so if some things are off with you guys it changes the whole dynamics of the show, for example the impact of Kelly leaving the show

Leona

😂😂😂 you can’t not love them

Ashley Prendez

Christi, I want to know who you were texting when y’all first walk upstairs after pyramid!

Ashley Prendez

Also, abby was so mean to Mackenzie making fun of her and then for Melissa to minimize her feelings and act like it’s not a big deal…. I felt really bad for her!

Brianna Burton

What’s it called because I kept seeing clips of it on tik tok

hawaii20300

its called ezell film company look that up on YouTube and she is on there

Charliepa4

Would you ever get Tammy on to tell the scary story you were talking about Christi that could be fun also just to hear the select teams pov

Charliepa4

Ladies do you think we could have a story from before the show of just something crazy that happened that we don’t know about that could be fun

Tyler

Hello, ladies. Love your podcast. Do you think there will ever be a chance of reconciliation with you, Kelly, and Abby? I speak from experience, as I had an experience early in life with someone like Abby, and 13 years later, we sat down and hashed everything out. It was very healing. Also, a random side note: Payton Ackerman recently said on a podcast that Abby told her she was too fat to be a dancer, and the producers called her afterwards to tell her they couldn't show that on TV. How shameful. Keep up the fabulous work on your podcast!

My Lil Ken Doll 💕

Did Melissa do and/or say anything about Kenzie sitting out that was not aired? …and did Abby do and/or say anything bad with Kenzie that they did not air?

zana celine

just wanted to say that i noticed abby excessively and aggressively licking her lips in this episode. i did not like it. did she always do this??? have you ever noticed??? i have so many questions

Joe

This is not a question but I have no one to discuss this with: I just saw a recent interview with Payton discussing an encounter she had with Abby in a bathroom during the filming of an episode. This is a direct quote (from Payton - I don’t know if that’s how you spell her name, and sideline: must we stress the “t” in her name? Is that a Pittsburgh thing? I’m not hating, I’m just confused. P.S. Technically, those were questions): “[Abby] literally said I was too fat to be a dancer.”

Joe

Only when she’s thinking about Maddie.

Joe

In other words, yes, all the time.

Joe

You beat me to it and also managed to ask a question, you go Glen Cocoa!

the ant at the picnic

do u think abby was trying to replace brooke giving jade a acro solo my answer is yes she tried to replace brooke all the way to the mini team

The cookie in abby’s purse

Not related to this episode but CHRISTI!!! What is up with the collab with you and Eliza Orlins from survivor 😭 most random duo but I’m so here for it. Two iconic queens

Mike G

More of a comment but watching Jade perform her solo i couldn't help but A. Think that it was very much a Brooke solo, B. Wonder if Kelly, Paige, and Brooke had still been on the show if Jade would have been Brooke's "counter" on the Select Ensemble, and C. Think that Brooke would have crushed that solo without question. I know it was the right move for Kelly and her girls but I would have loved to see Brooke and Paige compete against the select team because I think they would have really shown their capabilities.

Jaimie

any brooke wedding updates you can share?

Janiyah Latchman

Have any of you guys including a girls watched the show? If not, why?

Steph ♥️

This is more of a comment but I just want to say rewatching this as an adult and Mom now, Christi, Kelly and Holly are my inspiration. The way you protect and defend your children is inspirational. I love how you stand up for what’s right. Thank you for inspiring me to be the best Mom I can be to my daughter. You literally Mom goals ♥️

Savi

What was the social dynamic for Chloe at this point in the show? Ik she got excluded from ALDC events but how was her relationship personally with the others girls / moms?

Mckinzie C

Not a question, but I thought the scene in the green room where the girls were talking to Chloe about her solo was a sweet moment!

Faith

Hi Christi and Kelly! Did the “Abby phobic” group dance cause more tension off camera than what we saw?

Sarah Madigan

Sorry I have burning question for the episode after this one😂. What do you think was Abby’s genuine problem with Jeanette/Ava? Before this episode it feels like her dislike towards them came out of nowhere? She stated she liked Ava on previous episodes and she liked her enough to have her on the select team but to put Ava against Maddie is an obvious set up and just feels incredibly random. I’d love to know your thoughts or if you have any extra info on this.

Sarah Triolo

Question-when the girls were starting to get to this age where it went back and forth which age group they’d be in, in real life before the show how did Abby handle it? Because usually I’m guessing they didn’t have such a range of ages in a small group (unless it was Brooke). If that was the case with Brooke did it bring the age down when she was in dances?

Sarah Madigan

I always think this too!! And I wonder if since Kenzie had 2 rivals if they were going to embarrass Paige and have Paige go against someone younger than her.

Kelly’s screenshots!

Jade’s mom was trying to get Abby to put Kenzie in so they could compete in the junior category. Had Kenzie even practiced with the group and are they allowed to change something like that at the last minute?

Savi

What was the social dynamic for Chloe at this point in the show? Ik she got excluded from ALDC events but how was her relationship personally with the others girls / moms?

JJ Hart

I'd still love to know the full breakdown of the schedule for filming/learning dances. It's been mentioned somewhat, but there was a lot left out. I've always wanted to know the exact daily timeline for how everything happened.

Aiden Nave

Did abby actually change her mind about the dance mid pyramid? and was the nationals dance (for either team) actually the one she had planned on doing at that point?

Ava Rea

Hi christie and Kelly! Absolutely love the podcast!! Chloe and Jade competed against each other this week, was abby really afraid maddie would loose to jade or was it more that she might loose to studio blu if she had in past competitions? P.S. Chloe’s dance was my favorite of the week, she’s such a beautiful dancer!

Cara Ellen

This is kinda a random moment that sticks out to me in the episode but I have always wanted to know what really happened when Chloe accidentally grazed Maddie’s face. I have no doubt that Abby said or did something heinous. AND I have to say I have watched that clip a million times and there is no way Maddie was that hurt that she had to stop dancing UNLESS that clip of Maddie was edited in from a different time which is why I am wondering what exactly happened there. Obviously accidentally touching or hitting someone is probably going to happen if you are rehearsing in a small space like that and expected to do some movement “full out” so, I thought Abby’s reaction and her look of distain did not fit the situation

beckyhomeecky

Hi Christi Would you have been in s5 if the big blowout at s4 nationals never happened

1shouldersequin

Since you guys have yet to watch the future seasons, have you thought of making some predictions of future storylines or character arcs? Some of the mums do change quite a bit into the later seasons. Would love to hear your thought on this!🤍💓

Bailey

Totally way off topic, but I’ve been watching a lot of reality (secret lives and Baylen out loud) and I know y’all mentioned having to cover brands the girls wore. But when it came to scenes at your house, did they try to film around stuff in your house that didn’t have a brand name or did they have to get permission for everything shown in the background?

Jann Schmidt

You mentioned in the previous episode that you did not like the costumes for the dance, Romani,, tramps and thieves. What would you do to that costume or what would you have designed as a costume for that dance, in order for you to think it is a great costume?

Megan

Abby said on the show that the dance she had in mind was more a nationals dance, do you know if it was supposed to be to amber alert this week, or was there a completely different dance planned and she just said that

Alana Gulley

This isn’t about this episode but I just HAD to share this. My 8 yr old sister asked to watch dance moms with me one day and we watched the episode where Abby gets in Christi’s face then Christi blew on her. Now every time someone is arguing in the show she will turn and blow in my face. Thanks Christi we love you and Kelly and your girls! 😂😂😂

April

As a former dance teacher I cannot fathom emotionally abusing kids the way Abby did and indirectly the way Gianna did. Every time Abby says I have kids on broadway I think who cares! How many of her kids had eating disorders, suicidal thoughts and therapy because of her, I bet more than she put on broadway! As teachers the things we say to kids can stay with them their entire lives good or bad. Love all the girls on the show!!!

Gretchen Clemens

I just thought Chloe was always set up to fail

Gretchen Clemens

Hi I was wondering if I could possibly be on the podcast
