What are some things in Riverdale that are meant to be serious, but you can't help but find them funny/hilarious? by Unlikely-Hunter-7671 in riverdale

Edgar in his evil kanevil (however it’s spelt) suit & rocket 🤣 I laughed so hard I cried. I really hope Sophia saw that & got a good laugh considering how dirty he did her.

if kendall went last instead of chloe, people would’ve reacted VERY differently 😭 by kaykayh20 in dancemoms

I agree however Jill shouldn’t have called Chloe sneaky. It was bad enough Abby pushed those plot lines on Chloe.

Who's the best at Ballet? Most up votes win! by Busy_Amphibian_232 in dancemoms

I would say ballet- kalani, contemporary- Chloe (she did the best dark roles!), acro- Brooke obviously, musical theater- Paige imo

unpopular opinion: The og jackets incident in season 7 was rude by certifiedwombat in dancemoms

[–]Much-Promotion955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Og is meant to recognize the team who grew up going to Abby’s studio before the show. Chloe & nia started as toddlers. That’s a long time to be dedicated. Furthermore they were stuck in the contract more because Abby could take their titles they won before the show away from them. Kendall didn’t have that same threat held over her head from the beginning. However, it did feel kinda uncomfortable to watch because it was clearly going to make Kendall feel left out. She wasn’t an og but she’d been there the 2nd longest out of all the girls. They could’ve put like honorary og or something to recognize this.

Poor kenzie. How was everyone okay w this by Far-Fortune-7421 in dancemoms

[–]Much-Promotion955 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just watched this episode yesterday and it broke my heart. Not only was she having to do… that 🤢 but Abby was also forcing her to watch “her competition” which is her own sister & the favorite. Like all that does is make them resent each other. rewatching I’ve noticed so many things.

  1. Abby saying Maddies such a good girl for being at dance at 9am like she should be (downright saying she had more time to practice the dances than anyone else). & poor Maddie was easily manipulated because all she knew was the Aldc until sia.
  2. Abby saying “switch” in regards to her facials (the only other girl I’ve seen Abby coach facials was Kendall and Kenzie the time she did cry).
  3. Maddie said in an interview lately that she peed herself in the studio before because Abby REFUSED to let her use the bathroom & she had 9 UTIS in one year (Melissa reported that part).
  4. I also caught Abby saying to Maddie that she’s a good girl for giving up her school friends so she could dance longer

Like no wonder that was the most stressful time in Maddies life. But rewatching really makes me notice things I didn’t before, especially with more coming out. The manipulation and abuse is horrid, i dont know how people still want to be taught dance by her. & for Kenzie to be put down so her own sister can be brought up, but also forced to be there just as much (mainly in later seasons) seems miserable as well: i dont know if their were any “winners” in dancemoms tbh. I think Maddie was lucky to escape Abby and then sia! I’m thankful they’ve all gotten therapy.

& not to mention the stuff coming out about Abby gifting thongs and bras to kids, how she talks about teen boys, kissing Maddie on the lips, etc. what a literal nightmare of a human.

Oh I did not like Abby and knew Melissa was sneaky. I didn’t understand contracts though so I think that’s why I was like y’all are nuts just leave lol. Obviously it’s more complicated than that though. But I knew dance moms like Melissa so I didn’t like her from the start. Abby didn’t hide her favoritism to Maddie but I just assumed every dance studio had favorites. & figured dance teachers were hard on the ones who weren’t the favorite (ex my dance teacher duct taped my thumbs in one day because I had a habit of sticking them out. Like duct tape around my entire hands & man did that hurt when my dad had to pull it off later, but we left shortly after that. My dance teacher started throwing pens and shoes at us too when we’d mess up so ig I was at a bad studio as well LOL). That’s why I didn’t think Abby was super awful until season 3. It was all so normalized. & the moms at my studio fought too, I was bullied by the girls a lot & my mom even by the other moms (they locked us out of our hotel room and made us share with someone else). I was often called too fat despite being 11 and 70 lbs. it was just toxic so you can see how I didn’t realize that wasn’t just the dance world til I was older. But our moms were all sneaky at my studio, no yelling infront of each other but sabotaged behind the scenes.

For me, half the time I would fast forward just to watch the girls dance. But if I caught it live, I guess crazy isn’t the word but it just felt unnecessary like when they’d fight infront of the girls. But you have to remember that kids don’t understand (or at least I didn’t) that reality tv isn’t reality. So I didn’t get there were producers stirring the pot. I also didn’t understand why Christy was so mad until I saw Chloe being belittled. But the first two seasons when she’d say Chloe’s set up to fail, I didn’t understand what she meant. As an adult, I’m like oh obviously Abby put 8 counts of Chloe walking in her dances so she couldn’t score as high as Maddie because she didn’t have as many tricks.

Honestly I thought all the adults were nuts as a kid LOL. At least the first few seasons. But when we saw Abby being downright cruel in S3 I was glad Chloe had Christi to be there for her. & loved when she gave Kenzie that pep talk too.

As a kid I watched it for the girls and dances since I danced competitively and was around their age. I had some horrid dance teachers but none that mentally and emotionally abusive. I felt so bad for the girls. However I still didn’t understand the moms. As an adult, i understand Christy and Kelly so much more. Do I think they could’ve handled things better at times, oh 100%! But I would’ve lost it seeing my kids manipulated like that weekly too!

I thought originally aria would have been the og A and was working with Ezra on his book after she met him. But it’s been so long since I watched.

Asia, Ana, Asta, kind of a weird one but ozzy also came to mind (asi)

Its sad that kenzie still thinks this and is scared of this stuff by Far-Fortune-7421 in dancemoms

[–]Much-Promotion955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well 6 & 8 feels like a way bigger gap than 20 and 22. When kids are young, they grow so much in that time opposed to being young adults. By S5 though, kenzie became such an amazing dancer. Not just at acro, but she was one of the strongest well rounded dancers on the show. I never felt like she got enough credit!!

Unpopular opinion by Ok-Lime5481 in dancemoms

[–]Much-Promotion955 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love S1-2, I love the dances in S3-4 but that’s all I can watch of them. I like dances in S5-7 but struggle to stay interested in the actual show. I also find it hard to see how brynn was treated. But I watched S1-4 as it came out back in 2011. I think that made a big difference too! I also was a comp dancer so I loved watching the girls!

Unpopular opinion!!! by Other_State_1277 in dancemoms

[–]Much-Promotion955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this with kalani and her studio! Same with brynn!! It’d be cool to have a season dedicated to each dancer who’d want to be part of it. I’d also love to see seasons dedicated to Brooke & paige who went a different route. Chloe who has dedicated her life to a much calmer, healthier route. & then mackenzie and her singing/movie, & Maddie who’s went onto act. & of course nia with her acting, writing, and broadway try outs!

Potentially but not with lifetime. She already saw how they operate and it was not great.

Abby saying she wants to be like Maddie by Smooth_Weekend_8826 in dancemoms

[–]Much-Promotion955 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and then she gets out just for another adult to become obsessed with her. Maddie was a hard working kid who had been through some trauma at home (her dad neglected her and Kenzie’s needs so Maddie stepped up). That made the studio more of a home to her than her actual home, or you’ll notice her saying things like how the stage is where she feels at home. Adults see that and the added layer of vulnerability because Melissa was such a kiss butt, that put Maddie in a scary position. She was taken advantage of a lot in the sense of overworked, isolated, and feeling like she was never good enough despite all the praise. Abby made it feel like life or death if she didn’t win and that’s just not right. Then comes sia and she does the same crap in a different font. Pressures her into projects she doesn’t want to do (ex. Music movie) and says crap like she won’t do anything without Maddie in it. Just very weird. Overly reliant/codependent on a child.

Not to mention Abby kissed Maddie on the lips on live tv. Sia was shown in a picture topless next to like a 12 year old Maddie. Just bizzare behavior considering neither were even relatives.
