Dance Moms: The Beginning of the End

The moms are back!! Wow this show is really crazy. Before the episode begins, we get a pre-show episode where the producer interviews the moms and it was pretty hilarious. It was different from the Dance Moms Reunion because there was an audience who could ask questions, along with performances from the girls and the producer only took the moms out one at a time. He still made sure the other moms could hear what each other was saying, of course.

The season starts off without Brooke, Paige and Kelly. It doesn't feel the same without them, but luckily I can reassure you they'll be back by watching the season preview. In fact, they brought in a new girl named Ally, who is 13 and a great dancer, and I know she won't last either. First of all, her mom is normal. It was really strange to see a normal mom in the studio, because I tell myself that Holly and Melissa are fairly normal but then I saw Shelly and learned that Holly and Melissa are only normal for dance moms standards. Also, the fact that Ally is no where to be seen in the preview further proves my point.

Here are my predictions for this season, with the help of the season preview:
-Lots of arguing/swearing/crying, but that's a given.
-Christi will be a b*tch. Also a given.
-Cathy will continue to compete with ALDC. She will form a boys team and it will be better than their old one but they will still suck because Cathy can't choreograph.
-Ally might last another episode. Probably not.
-Kelly will bring Brooke and Paige back next episode and Abby will yell at them, put them on probation and Kelly along with Christi will threaten to leave again but they won't and Brooke and Paige will continue dancing.
-For those of you like me, who are in the in-club as far as dance competition goes, you may have heard of Sophia Lucia. Only the best dancer in the country, as far as these competition go. She also has the world record for the most pirouettes, and she's 9 or 10 years old. And even crazier; she's going to be on dance moms. Honestly when I saw her in the preview I was shocked because this isn't some kid like Kendall who came out of nowhere and was unheard of before she auditioned. If you look up her name, she pops up everywhere. She is crazy good, and I mean all of the girls on the show are good, but none of them would stand a chance against Sophia Lucia. Anyway, I'm excited to see how that plays out.

After casting Ally as a part of the team, Abby also decides to replace Chloe's featured part in the group dance as an angel with Ally. So Ally gets to be an angel while the other girls have to be demons. Sucks to suck. Abby also tore down the pyramid after realizing that Brooke and Paige weren't there. Apparently 5 people isn't enough to make a pyramid. Well, she's right, it's not, but I still wasn't expecting her to tear it down.

Abby gives Kendall a solo and makes her cry. Maddie, Chloe and Mackenzie all get solos as well. When the new mom, Shelly, first meets the moms, I actually feel really bad for her. The moms, especially Christi, are just so mean. Of course Christi believes she's hiding something and she's really a crazy dance mom, which was what she said about Jill. Okay, Jill is a crazy dance mom, but Shelly isn't! I can tell just by looking at her that she's not going to buy Abby a bench to bribe her into giving her daughter a solo, or throw a fit because she believes Abby purposely scratched the CD to make Maddie look even more impressive when she dances without music, or freak out over her daughter portraying a bully, or leave the studio to go to Candy Apples and then come back, or deny that she is engaged when she really is. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, all of this has happened on the show. And believe me, I could go on, but I don't have all day. Well, I do, but I have to keep up with the Kardashians.

They go to the competition. Holly is not happy because Abby hasn't decided whether or not the group dance will be a group dance or just a solo for Ally, and Holly doesn't want to go all the way to Denver if her daughter isn't even dancing. I don't blame her, Abby can be a pain. And I once again feel terrible for Shelly, who the moms are blaming for the group dance possibly turning into a solo.

First up is Maddie's solo. It has a lot of turns they have really improved over time. It was a beautiful solo, as usual. Chloe is next and also does a great job. Apparently she forgot a part but kept going, which still caused her a lecture from Abby about how if she did that on Broadway she would be fired. The group dance is next, and it is in fact a group dance. Abby knew it the whole time, she was just too cruel to say it.

It is really, really good. Ally does a beautiful job as the angel, and the girls are in perfect sync the entire time. Ally is a talented dancer, but I like my original crew. I don't know if I want her to stay or leave, but either way she's going to leave so whatever. Abby congratulates the group and then goes on and on about how great Ally was. You know the other moms loved that.

Kendall performs her solo. It's really not that great. Mackenzie does hers, and the world almost ended as one of her bows fell off. It must've startled Mackenzie because she kind of stood there staring at it for a while, and then she continued her dance. She came off stage crying and it was so sad because Mackenzie is so cute and I never want to see her cry again! Abby yells at her because it is totally her fault that the bow fell off of her hair.

The girls wait for the awards, starting with solos for the 7-8 age group. Mackenzie places first! Thank God the world didn't end! Kendall places 5th (ouch), Chloe places 2nd, and, to nobody's surprise, Maddie wins her category. The group also places first so overall, apart from Kendall, the day went pretty well. Not that that stopped any drama from happening.

Also, I forgot to mention, this guy comes in during the competition to see Abby, and they apparently went to school together. This is the same guy who Kelly said she went out with when she was younger which made Abby mad. This whole scene was pretty confusing, because I don't know how set up it was. The man seems to be oblivious to the fact that there is a TV show called "Dance Moms" and that Abby and Kelly are both on it. All I know is that Abby is going out with him after the competition, so I'm sorry whoever that man is. I couldn't imagine anything worse than going out to dinner with Abby. First of all she probably orders 10 things off the menu, which costs a lot, and then she all she'll talk about is dance, and she'll probably tell him "everyone's replaceable" and replace him with some old man on the street. I don't know about that last one. I think Dance Moms is polluting my mind. Not that that's going to stop me from watching it.

Phew, that was one crazy episode. I love this show. So much. The only thing that would make me love it even more is for Christi to shut her mouth. Forever. Anyway, that wraps up the first episode of season 3! Be sure to comment your thoughts!
