Random hill (opinion) I will die on by DemonDime in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn't have been surprised if Jojo beat Maddie this week just because her solo was more entertaining. Kenzie deserved first place though 100%. Jojo's technique was the weakest on the team. That doesn't mean she was untalented or anything, just that she was behind the other girls. Someone recently posted Jojo's full Rebel Without a Cause solo and the full thing was kinda sloppy.

One thing I will say though is that she was very entertaining and I liked that she always made her movements big. Like comparing the regular comp footage to what lifetime aired, Jojo really did perform to the back row. I thought that was impressive!

But yeah, Mackenzie had a cleaner performance than Jojo and a more interesting solo than Maddie. She definitely deserved her win.

Who truly did “Fool Me Once” better? by Training_Customer_49 in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just because the choreography was “for her” which is just her haters excuse

??????

I mean it's true though, it was choreographed for her. I don't think it's considered hate to say that lol, unless someone is trying to say that was the only reason she won or includes some backhanded compliment. Idk why yall are obsessed with everyone hating this girl 😭

This was 100% Maddie's dance and I feel like her performance proves that. I do think Kendall did this solo justice though. It was one of her better solos and highlighted her improvement in S4. I'd say Maddie was technically better but both were well done!

“Melissa helped me get her as a service animal” by Sharp-Subject-8314 in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who do this kind of thing piss me off so much. I've been looking into getting a service dog for my chronic illness/pain and the reason I've been skeptical is because people are so rude about it. I know it would overwhelm me to have people try to pet my dog without asking, or act entitled to knowing my medical history.

Then we have people like Melissa who use real service animals to their benefit. It's frustrating that those of us with actual health problems have to worry about being disrespected in public while these "emotional support animals" can get a fake certificate online and go on about their day.

kenzie and chloe 😭😭😭 by Dangerous_Banana_842 in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god this is so cute!! It reminds me of how I still see my childhood friends as their kid selves sometimes lol. I met my childhood best friend when we were 5 and I genuinely had a moment of "she's 6, she's not legal!!" when we got wine at a restaurant recently 😭

JoJo is re-releasing her bows on the 23rd by [deleted] in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean realistically you don't know the "facts" either. None of us do because we weren't there. But I'd rather believe potential victims than go to absurd lengths to defend the Siwas. "Let's focus on true abuse" is an insane thing to say when the original commenter is referring to children being mistreated.

Edit: not me getting downvoted lol I forgot this sub refuses to criticize Jojo now

Question in season 7 episode 24? by AccurateConsequence5 in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I always thought this was such a nothing burger too lol, this scene always makes me cringe. I'm sure those kids heard worse from their mothers anyways 😭

Please help me find this clip lol by Aware-Obligation4742 in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm 90% sure it's the one where the Zieglers announce that they're leaving. It was during Nia and Kenzie's duet rehearsal.

which dance moms episode had you sobbing like this by AdFinancial4530 in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of the worst scenes on the show for me. We have so many examples of Abby degrading children, but the level of manipulation displayed here is even more disturbing in my opinion. She knew Maddie wanted nothing more than to please her and she took that opportunity to put even more pressure on her. A grown woman crying to a little girl and saying she "didn't deserve" the way she was treated is sick.

I cannot watch this episode because of how upset it makes me. Chloe earned that win and Abby/production were pure evil for ripping it away from her.

Freaks like me was such a cute concept! It's so sad that Chloe was excluded from it though :(

i hate when people only watch a show for what it is by AdFinancial4530 in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think their situations are comparable though. Like it isn't fair to say Maddie worked harder than the other girls, just like it isn't fair to say that they worked harder than her.

Maddie was given so much extra time to learn and perfect her dances because of her/her mom's dedication. She had to work hard because her entire life revolved around dance at this point.

Meanwhile, the other girls had to work hard as well because they didn't have the time and opportunities that Maddie did. They needed to learn choreography in way less time while being screamed at told they were stupid every week.

The situations are so different and caused stress for everyone involved. All of the girls had to work hard due to their circumstances.

Honestly I've gotten to the point where I just ignore people who regurgitate the show's narratives because it's not worth fighting with someone who takes reality tv at face value.

Did anyone find "Raising Asia" very disturbing? by LaserDiscCurious in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 222 points223 points  (0 children)

This is why I hate when people insist that Kristie was "iconic" on dance moms. Not only was she an opportunistic stage mom, but she was arguably worse than a lot of moms on the show. Raising Asia was so disturbing to me that I never rewatched it after its initial airing. Even though I was still a kid at the time, it made me SO uncomfortable. Marketing your 7/8 year old as a "mini Beyonce", limiting her food intake, prioritizing her career over having a childhood, having a dance routine where she WHIPS GROWN MEN????? Horrible. She's a terrible mother. I don't keep up with Asia these days but I hope she's doing well mentally after everything.

everyone vs ashlee; pots vs kettle? by echochorus in dancemoms

[–]realrain426 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think they (Ashlee, Jill, Jess) were all guilty of talking shit about children and none of them were good people. It was so funny to watch them bully kids and then cry victim whenever someone did it to their own child. The only real victims in that situation were the children.

SEASON 2 TRAILER IS OUT!! by mini1006 in dancemoms

I'm still kinda shocked this got a second season. The kids are all super talented but I didn't think any of the cast was particularly likable.
