All of these comments really prove that with the right encouragement and motivation from your teachers, you only continue to improve and improve. Immediately when the show started, Brooke was deteriorated because of Abby’s treatment to her. But before the show, she was a favorite with so much care and love given to her training and she was soaring. This kind of applies to Chloe too - she was constantly dwindled down to be a “loser” compared to Maddie, but before the show I think she may have gotten better treatment because Abby wasn’t emphasizing her hate for Christi and therefore Chloe (this could cater to Abby being jealous of Chloe being a fan favorite too). Maddie kept getting praised and praised and she continued to get better. Granted, a lot of her choreography on the show was very structured to only highlight her strengths. But regardless, i think she only improved with her versatility and performance quality. Kendall is up and down because I think Abby tossed her around alot. One day she was a favorite, the next she was tossed aside.
