Every Dog Has Its Day – A Dance Moms Recap

by Matt on February 27, 2013 · 20 comments

Jill is actually mad at the rest of the moms for not being there to stick up for her (though Christi is actually standing between them to make sure a fight doesn’t break out). Christi tells us that she was worried that Patsy was going to pull out her weave. Her weave? I’m so crushed right now. Those lovely golden locks aren’t legitimate? Damn you women and your fake looks that get me every time.

Back in the dressing room, Christi tells Kelly that she was looking to her for reinforcement, but things were weird with them so it didn’t happen. But Christi says, “Oh my God, Kelly, I need you!” and the world freaking rejoices. Peace and harmony are restored. They are friends again, just like that. Then they ogle over each other for a minute, and my heart is happy again.

Awards time! The host first announces an apology and then says he kicked out Black Patsy and her spawn. So that’s over.

First award is best costume, which goes to… NIA! Ha haaaaaa… suck it, Abby. Abby’s crow-eating face is pretty priceless, though. She handled it well.

Third place solo? Nia again! What a boss. Killed it this week. First place?………. Maddie. Sigh. Next.

Group awards now. Second place? …. Some chicks. No way this improvised train wreck got first. Orrrrr maybe it did. I wouldn’t have picked it, but the judges disagreed with me. the moms have a celebration dance, and hugs are speared around, even from Abby. And Christi and Kelly hug. Sigh…. Love.

The girls give Abby their card and we see a dopey montage of the dead dog.

And that does it for this week. Next week, it looks like Abby will be speed dating, which will be the first time “Abby” and “speed” have been used together.

So what did you think of the episode? Love it? Hate it? Are you happy as hell that the world is right again in Hyland-Lukasiak world?

Thanks for reading, and don’t forget to follow me @sgwwgs on Twitter where I live-tweet during the show. And as always, leave me a comment! Thanks, homies.

I was ready to boycott if Christi and Kelly didn’t make up. Just glad it was Kelly that she told to “wrap your arms around me and squeeze”. If she ever says that to Abby, we might all wanna start writing her eulogoy because Abby will purposely squeeze the life out of her.
Christy and Bri Xandrick

Oh Straight Guy! Yet another doozy! Yes, we are thrilled that Kelly and Christi are buddies again! I am just hoping we can get back to moms and kids and dancing. These vindictive road trips to meet up with interstate rivals are too made up and over produced and just plain exhausting!
But loving the live tweets with you and the recaps are awesome! Keep it up!

I’m just glad you mentioned Jill’s dumb hat. Well done.

I feel like these episodes get more and more pointless. My husband, who often does the pretending-not-to-watch watching thing, was legit appalled that the entire episode centered around drama created by a dog. Can’t say I disagree… Glad Christy and Kelly are friends, though last week’s tweets between them were weird if they’re cool again. Great recap as usual though!

I was looking on a dance moms forum and totally found an excerpt from Black Patsy’s fb page and sadly, I’m totally buying her story…..

“Kaya Uncesnored” Her FB post…

Had to make this status PUBLIC)
This will be my very LAST time commenting about Dance Moms. While I don’t feel the need to defend myself or my actions…I would like to set some facts straight and answer the million questions that have flooded my inbox:
-All the moms (and Abby) curse on Dance Moms…why am I “ghetto” for doing so too? Don’t label me because I don’t talk “white’ enough. I’m from East St Louis and that’s how we sound. One’s dialect doesn’t define their level of education neither does the use of profanity. I am human & subject to getting angry just like everyone else…..
-We never auditioned for Dance Moms. We were asked to appear on the show because of Nicaya’s reputation for being a great dancer & my reputation for being a “stage mom’. We were also noticed by the Lifetimr execs when Nicaya auditioned for Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition and made the top 20 (but not the final 14). For those of you saying she just a.mediocre dancer…..has YOUR dancer accomplished as much?
-While the first episodes appeared on were unscripted, this NEW season IS scripted and fake! The power of editing will amaze you.
-We were NOT.disqualified from the competition. I have her score sheet and award to prove that she tied with Nia. I also have a copy of the email that I sent to the producer, Bryan Stinson, asking that he make it appear as though we were kicked out because we were not able to stay for awards. We left early because we wanted to attend our studio’s holiday party and a candle light vigil for a fellow dancer who died the day before (you can that we were wearing Clare’s photo on our shirts at the competition)
-While I don’t deny having a potty mouth, the producers nearly FORCE us to altercations with each other (for ratings of course). They will keep you on the set until they get “good” material. If you want to go home (because you’re not paid per hour) you raise hell so you can go home! You are bound by a contract to finish your episode. It can take a few hours or a few weeks (and you’re not paid for your time). So if you want to go home…you give the people what they want.
-Abby does not compete at real competitions. If you watch her shows closely, the same announcer is always at.competitions. He owns In10sity Dance. He works for Abby and his job is to arrange competitions in different cities for ALDC to compete at. He changes.the name in each city (Xpression Dance, In10sity, etc). They search REPUTABLE competition websites for their competitions results in each city. Then they invite the lower scoring studios to competitions making it easier for ALDC to win. When they came to St Louis, they didn’t invite Renee Johnson’s (who is a personal friend of Abby), Excel, NV Dance Force or even Charmette because they don’t want real competition. No offense to any studio who attended the competition, but this is how they ensure that ALDC wins (although they’ll occassionally let someone else win to make it seem fair).
-With the exception of Mackenzie, all of the girls are between 11-13yrs old…..yet none of then compete in teen aside from Brooke. Unless another studio questions their ages and asks for birth certificates, they’ll keep getting away with lying about being 9yrs old. How has Maddie been 9 since the shows premiered 2 years ago?
-ALDC has been banned from reputable competitions (Showbiz, Primetime, Masquerade, NYCDA, etc) because they lie about their wins. Any real competitive dancer knows that their can be mutiple 1st place scores. And ONE dancer cannot win the WHOLE competition. He/she can only win her age group/category. Also, a real competition would have far more dancers onstage for awards and in the audience. This proves that they put together last minute competitions in each city and very few studios attend.
– We never moved to Pittsburgh to attend ALDC. Once again….we were invited, we wanted the money, enough said.
-Nicaya has danced since she was 3yrs old (at Carol Christy School of Dance). She started competing at age 6 (Best Dance & Talent Center). At age 9 she moved to Charmette Academy of Dance and Acrobatics where she has received advanced training that allowed her to win multiple awards, scholarships, an opportunity to dance with the world renowed Joffrey Ballet, and enabled her to be recognized by Lifetime to begin with. She is a well rounded dancer who does tap, ballet, hip hop, jazz and contemporary/modern dance. It is MY choice that she doesn’t do acro.
-The name Black Patsy came from my mom who jokingly said I act like Patsy Ramsey when it comes to my kids and their activities. I push them to be their best and put all my time, money, and energy into ensuring that they succeed in all that they do. I don’t think JonBenet Ramsey’s demise is a laughing matter. Lifetime heard about my moniker and thought it was witty so we ran with it.
-Any further questions, comments, concerns about Black Patsy/Kaya/Nicaya and Dance Moms will ONLY be answered TODAY! Tomorrow my REAL life starts again and I have no further dealings with the trash that IS, Dance Moms.
(And for those who hate me or my daughter….stay off my page and KISS MY A$$! You’re jealous because YOU and YOUR “mediocre” dancer didn’t get the same opportunity/national recognition. Whether you agree with my behavior or not….it served it’s purpose. My daughter’s name is out there. The world knows she has at least an ounce of talent, and YOU can’t say the same).

Ooooh, interesting. Thanks for the post!
http://twitter.com/sgwwgs SGWWGS

Yeah, I agree about the tweets thing. I was thinking the same thing. But women do hold grudges forever, so who knows.
http://twitter.com/sgwwgs SGWWGS

It was really dumb.
http://twitter.com/sgwwgs SGWWGS

My favorite mother daughter combo (besides Christi and her girls of course)! Yeah, “exhausting” is a good word for it.

If that tension went on much longer, I was going to stop watching. Who am I kidding? I was just going to hate myself more for continuing to watch.

You sir, are hilarious!!

I assume the producers of the show request them to “play it up” since the show we see is recorded 7ish weeks before it airs. in a recent interview of Christi from the Huffington Post, she explains that she and Kelly are great, so no worries.

So there’s Nicaya, Niyala, Nia, and Kaya.. huh! I’m confused! Black Jonbenet.. omg dying. And on the “retarded” thing…some people are just too “politically correct” *rolls
eyes* I lost a friend over calling something “gay” once and she was a lesbian…so
sue me.

What I didn’t understand is why it was okay for Black Patsy to say Kendall sucked to Jill but when Jill said Nikaya sucked it’s sooo offensive and uncalled for and reason enough to explode massively.. Hypocrite! I absolute can’t stand her and I hope
she is never shown again on this show. Kendall has improved massively and I
disagree that Nia dances circles around her (sorry). Too bad for Nikaya having
her solo pulled…that’s what you get for having an uneducated, rude and awful
mother!

“Next week, it looks like Abby will be speed dating, which
will be the first time “Abby” and “speed” have been used together.” LOL!!!!

ooooo, the gutter snipe is trying to defend herself. Sorry BP but if you think that exposure helped your daughter, you are mistaken. Your daughter was shown on tv as cussing, making fun of others” as bad as you were. YOU said “go hood on yo ass”. Lifetime didn’t force you to do one thing. The truth of it is that you are blind jealous of the ALDC, especially of Holly and Nia. Crawl back under your rock trash.
debra roland

Yes! Somebody, please, tell Jill to lose the hats. She looked like a pimp.

That’s pretty much how it went down as I recall. I did notice that Christi didn’t live tweet this week so naturally I was crushed as I had no words or phrases for the drinking game. Fun read it was .

When I told my boyfriend that Abby’s dog had died, he responded that Abby must have eaten it…

I believe her. No reality show is a documentary. I am sure they chose people who are colorful to add drama and that they might invent competitions or go to really small ones where their chance of winning is much higher.
cccccc

hey
Rosy33

I think the reason she is being called ghetto is not for the cursing, for me it was loudly in the audience slamming other people’s kids and also doing it in the hallway in front of everyone, publicly humiliating the child. Cathy does that as well and yes, I consider cathy ghetto as well when she does that. Kaya is also extremely aggressive and physically touches people, like when she pushed on hills nose. And the cursing in front of everyone. The other mothers do act like psychos and do curse sometimes,they keep it in the dressing room. When Abbie and Kelly got into the physical altercation that was ghetto as well. That’s my take on it anyway.
