Dance Moms 8-10

What do you think?  Was the tryout fixed?

 

Re: Dance Moms 8-10

  • No.

    IMO Maddy is clearly the best dancer, most photogenic, and has the best personality.

    Chloe is a good dancer but just not as much of a star.

    Chloe's mom needs an eyebrow and hair consult. She is awful.

  • I just started watching this show and am hooked.  It is the biggest drain on brain power out there but I can't turn away. 

    I will say, I think Maddie is awesome but her mother is enough to drive the sanest of men crazy.  She is the true definition of stage Mom.  Not that they don't all have that gene but Maddie's mother is living vicariously through those two kids. She is also really socially awkward!!   She has this nervous laugh that drives me batty. 

    I think the dance teacher is certifiably crazy!  I can't understand why any parent would allow their children or themselves to be treated this way but hey... it's what makes the show interesting!!

  • I didn't think the try out was fixed - Maddie really is amazing, and she seems humble (man, I hope she stays that way!)

    I couldn't get over Vivi's crazy mom! The woman is certifiable! Her "solo" that she just went for made her look completely ridiculous! 

  • I don't think it was fixed either.  Maddie is really, really good.

    However, I was wondering why he didn't talk to a couple more girls?  Were they only looking for one?

  • I agree I don't think it was fixed. Maddie is a little star. She is by far the best dancer and the most charismatic. When she is dancing you can't take ur eyes off her. She has great facial expressions. Plus she can sing which the other girls can't do. If he is really a broadway casting agent he is looking for the whole package and that is undoubtably Maddie. Chloe's mom needs to take her to a different studio. She clearly can't handle the competition of Abbey's studio.

    I think the problem with Chloe leaving the studio is that she will lose her state title too.

  • After watching every episode I agree that Maddie has got what it takes, she performed the best in the auditions IMO. She is a beautiful dancer and she is committed. I do however think it kind of hurt the other girls when Cesar took Maddie aside right in front of them and didn't talk to anyone else. I know that's how it with that kind of thing, but it would have made me feel bad. Really surprised Christi didn't freak out in front of everyone. 

    But I absolutely could not believe Vivi's mom, she made a total fool of herself and the other moms changing the Mom's showcase into a solo for herself. I have never seen someone so delusional, if she keeps pulling shenanigans like that I will have think she was just someone added to create drama. Even though we really don't need anymore with Melissa and Christi.

    Sadly I think Melissa is a snot, and i also think that even if she doesn't do it blatantly she sabotages the other dancers. ex. there is no reason that the girls should just barely be getting their music the night before a competition. 

    Chloe's mom is just a drunk I think and a drama queen. If Christi spent as much time worried about her daughter instead of Maddie and her mom Chloe would be a fabulous dancer. Her daughter holds a national title, she should be pleased with her daughter's accomplishments not comparing her to the other dancers.

    Also I saw no reason Maddie shouldn't have had two solos if she takes two different classes. Maddie and Chloe are friends either way, the competition is more in Christi's mind. Sorry got a little off topic.

  • The dance teacher I used to work with knows Abby...she said she is crazy, but the reason people take their kids there and put up with the crap is because Abby produces stars. She has more National titles and professionals that leave her studio than anyone else around. So they put up with the crap to learn from the best. I'm not sure I could, but hey if you think your kid has potential and you want to pay, Abby is apparently the best...
  • I think a lot of this is scripted/staged and certainly edited. God only knows if this guy really was a casting agent. And he may have talked to more kids but they chose to only air him talking to one. They need a storyline.
