Comments

Elizabeth

The dance teacher has been saying that the children should reach out to her because of her “respecting your elders” mentality. I would LOVE to hear what you think about this (because I think it’s a load of bs). Also pleaseeee bring intern Matt onto the pod again I miss him! He was so much fun in Philly at BTTB Live!

shrekby

the relationship that maddie had with the music artist AND the dance teacher while melissa was watching. even her makeup artist got her teeth tattooed on her. what was melissa even thinking and what would you do if your kids were in maddie’s shoes during this time love you guys!!

Melissa’s Season 6 Extensions

if this was how melissa acted the entire time, do you think the show would have turned out differently? do you think the fights that led to you and your girls’ exits would have happened?

i am so glad that melissa finally started speaking up for mackenzie but like it’s too little too late. props to melissa for playing the long game until she knew she was about to leave before stepping in but to see what she put all of you, especially you christi, through to then get so much praise for speaking up now pisses me off so bad

Justin

I don't really get the Season 6 Melissa hype honestly…this is really the only episode of the whole season that I liked her 😭 the rest of the time she's either being rude to Brynn and the minis or lying about not leaving the show 💀

Jenny Joy

How genuine do you think Melissa was in standing up to Abby? Do you think it had anything to do with criticism about not standing up for Kenzie from the other moms and fans and/or wanting to distance herself from Abby because of her legal woes?

Olivia

Why do you think Melissa all of the sudden is sticking up to Abby? Love the energy but it seems sort out of the blue. Is it because Maddie is gone this week so Maddie wouldn’t be annoyed at Melissa for speaking up? Is it because at this point Melissa likely knew the Zieglers were leaving the show so wanted to plant the seed that she was severing ties with Abby (could also be because of the legal drama)?

I think Melissa’s new attitude is because she knew she was done with ALDC and her girls were where she wanted them to be so she didn’t needed Abby / Dance Mom no more 😏

Kelly's my favorite dance mom

It has always been rumored that Melissa had something to do with Abby's indictment. Does anyone know where/how this rumor started? Was it something Melissa eluded to? Or something Abby said?

MISS AURA

This episode was wild tho because it’s frustrating when Abby thinks she’s right about everything(shocker tho). As Christi says her ego is so big!!🙄. Like she tells the girls to speak up, but when Kenzie was trying to correct her on what she actually said in her infamous confessional, u call her a little smart ass?!?! How u gonna tell someone what they said in a private segment of their own, the world clearly saw, just ridiculous. Plus, when Melissa sticks up, she throws that unnecessary dig at Maddie saying because of her Sia or nobody would want Maddie, instead would want a kid with straight teeth. Like rude!!

Not related to the episode but I was curious Kelly what is your favourite solo Paige competed before and during the show and aside from dance moms did she ever win any titles or come very close :)

Kelly’s screenshots!

At the end of the show when Abby said the moms were going to jail with her, Melissa was texting as fast as she could. I think she was contacting her lawyer to turn Abby in and solidify her exit from Dance Moms.

Nathan Soverinsky

You are not ready to see Melissa threaten Abby with legal trouble “I know way too much” was the best line of season six

avakeeley

Has Melissa ever spoken to either of you about how/why her friendship with abby ended? I know when the zieglers left the show they danced at the studio and were seen with the cast for a few months but then that all seemed to stop. Was it because of abby's worseining legal troubles

Ellen

Hot take: Kenzie was the most emotionally mature person in this whole situation and she was the youngest 😭🤣 She was really good at saying how she felt clearly and it’s a shame how that was never rewarded with Abby, it’s a really valuable skill to navigate life with

KemeticFloetryP

😭Please, the cut to Nia’s face when Kendall comes in with the aged face Was the latex makeup about the appearance or her skin health? I wouldn’t wanna dance all over a couch Abby was sitting in all day Cookie was never that type of gd wild😒 The shade about Maddie’s teeth in her absence and on television is what told me beef was real btwn Melissa and Abby

Ursula

How do you think things were when cameras were off? I’m sure Melissa and Abby texted and stuff so during this fight, do you think Melissa apologized when cameras weren’t rolling orrr do you think she stood her ground???

Ursula

Who do you think was the one who decided to start the leaving the ALDC process? Maddie? Melissa? Kenzie apparently didn’t know poor thing that was awful to blind side her

Ursula

What are the odds that Melissa said something that week to start the legal stuff against Abby? I’m sure it takes time to gather information etc and Melissa JUST said “I know too much!!” What’s your take on the timing of it all???

Blue Jai

What little things did you guys tend to notice that screamed “YOU ARE NOT FROM THE ALDC”? Other than not being capable of sewing or rhinestoning, were there any habits that you noticed weren’t drilled into a new mom or dancer’s head?

The Trail of Hamburgers leading Abby to the studio

This is the episode before we shift into hell. The deliberate trashing and bullying of Brynn makes me sick everytime I watch season 6. The way Jess and Jill talk about the girls in their confessionals and to their faces just makes me sick. I know both of you would’ve been there calling it out!

Jordan

Matt please don’t scroll past this! Hi diva I love you both so much and I’m listening to old episodes right now and I’m dying for you to answer this. When you guys were recapping previous seasons, you kept teasing this project you were working on and would sprinkle in a little hint and clues and you didn’t say it was a tour or a book and it kind of just fell off. Did this ever come to fruition if it stopped for some reason, are you guys still working on it? please help my investigative spirit is dying to get answers.

Jordan

Hi divas this is a quick positivity break 💖 I would love for you both to say your favorite three qualities about each other and what do you think makes the other woman such a great friend. I think life gets so busy sometimes and you have to take a mindful moment to talk and let the people closest to you know you appreciate them and why. Love you both’

I think the reason Melissa started to get a little bold is because she had the upper hand with Abby at this time. There is an episode that I recall in this season where she tells the other moms “I know so much shit, you guys” - I re-watched the series about three times and every time she says that I wanna know what it is she knows. Because I’ll bet she knows a whole lot of tea. And I’ll bet she has helped Abby out of a lot of financial jams and probably covered up some things herself….. I don’t know it just seemed pretty shady. So now that Abby’s in trouble, I think she wants to disassociate herself and she knows that she has the upper hand.

the cream on abby’s cheese mat

how real do you think the arguments were with abby and melissa. do you think melissa called abby after filming wrapped to beg for forgiveness😂

Brianna Burton

- Do you guys think if Christi and Chloe came in as a guest they would have been treated better bc Chloe was so good and had all that natural talent and technique?

Brianna Burton

- Why were some of the people in the reunion audiences from other lifetime shows?

Brianna Burton

- If you guys were locked in a room with Abby and you could tell her or say anything to her and she was going to really listen, what would you say?

Brianna Burton

- This is around the time that the host from afterbuzz tv dance moms recap show was heavily involved behind the scenes. Was that normal to have guests interviewing the moms and girls in between scenes and filming. He even traveled with them to Australia and the LA studio. I’m curious about this because I assumed that it would be a closed set considering there are children working.

Brianna Burton

- Why do you think so many people made excuses and continue to make excuses for the way abby treated the girls?

Brianna Burton

- Why did Maddie and Kenzies dad stop coming to the competitions after season 1? He’s shown a few times in the audience in the first season and then we never see him again.

Brianna Burton

Hot take: If all the moms stood up for one another and went against Abby when she was mean to the kids it could’ve been such a different show. Abby was enabled by Melissa and Gia.

Brianna Burton

Why were the girls especially Maddie allowed to still compete when they were clearly professionals at this point.? They are recognizable from things outside of competition dance like music videos and movies at this point.

Whore Selling Tshirts

Why do you guys think Abby started picking on Kenzie so much? Do you think she had a feeling the Zieglers were going to leave? And did you guys catch that she says to Kendall (in her snarky tone) “I’m not yelling at you, I’ve found a new victim.” 💀

Enrique Olguin

Following that note hopefully Matt can find that small clip of Paige doing her Balloon 🎈 solo it’s very small but it’s on YouTube

Tori Black

literally!! i’m so excited for them to react to this

Pinkelephant47

It was talked about when yall started season 5 about what yall would do and whose storylines you think you’d have, but now in season 6 can you honestly still see yourselves in their shoes? The shoe feels so weird and big and different so I’m curious if it would have felt the same if you two were still there

Julia

Hot take: Melissa only started standing up for Mackenzie because production told her that she has to do whatever they tell her to do in order to get off the show. It’s just so random and out of place that everytime abby calls out Mackenzie, Melissa is right there chiming in standing up for her like it came out of nowhere and as a viewer it was super weird to see the sudden change
