Hearing that the production liked it when the girls were stressed out is beyond disgusting and reinforces my belief that they were the true villains of this show.
that's why Lifetime never achieved their goal of building a reality tv empire ala Bravo. You just can't treat children the way Andy Cohen treats middle aged socialites.
Tbf it’s their job to make them flustered. The more flustered they are the more content and the better the episode is. Reality television is disgusting like that.
Melissa is not a judge tho. I thought Maddie danced better even tho she stumbled on her turn. Chloe’s dancing was very stiff and not fluid like Maddie’s. I think Maddie won and the judges got it right
making the kids do hair and makeup and do everything in half an hour is insane to me as a dancer. At my studio, we have to get there at least an hour early with hair and makeup and costume already on
@@chappy946 I think they only used makeup artists for elaborate makeup on the girls. like ik the adults had makeup artists but I don’t think the girls usually did
Yeah that really annoyed me as well I remember in a season 2 episode that chloe did a solo in the intermediate category and maddie in the junior category and the show made it seem like chloe was against maddie and didn’t place even though she won her category
Yah as a competition dancer growing up it always really bothered me and I knew the average viewer wouldn't know the difference which just made it seem kinda shady
Yes because Nia actually won with her solo “the color purple “ in the teen category but the show made it seem like she didn’t place at all. Mackzboss covered this episode!!
Something I've noticed while rewatching the series is that during a competition, right before a performance the MC often says "We're gonna skip a little bit in your program to act number [blank]". It makes me wonder if the producers/film crew had anything to do with having the program schedule/order changed.
Melissa has changed a lot. I genuinely believe she had a unique relationship with Abby, similar to Kelly, and she just wanted to do what was best for her children and it went too far. I wish everyone would cut her some slack, she's clearly matured.
i believe the cast fully believes the comps are real. they are, to an extent. however, when the producers are choosing the competition - and the number of competitors - it’s not a true comp. it may not be rigged, but if your the only one in your category you will win without the judge tampering all the time
@@leena75I think seasons 1-4 were real competitions then it gradually got faker. People who used to compete with them in earlier seasons confirmed they were real competitions but sometimes the scores would be changed for tv drama.
THANK YOU for saying it is rigged lol, the producer's influence of course impacts things lol. its ridiculous for grown adults to assume otherwise! christi recently said exactly this. it's just being realistic and fair
I believe that season 1 to 3 and maybe 4 were real the atmosphere was different. However in season 5 it became more like a show than a competition, there were even less kids
Yes it was also the most fair placements and scoring in seasons 1-4. Although there were times where production would fake results. Like they made it look like Kenzie beat Chloe when she actually was in teen division and got first but they only shows the overalls, and the time where Kendall won with fool me twice, but they showed her overall placement which was second. And lastly when Kamryn beck went against Chloe they made it look like she got 3rd but that was in the overalls and she got first in teen.
I think it also had to do with the team dynamic as well. It felt more real and then s5 came around and it felt more like a reality tv show because it wasn't the same anymore and they were pushing more drama onto the kids.
I think Season 8 with the new girls was way more fake than the rest there was barely any people at the competitions the stage was small and you never saw kids backstage that much. It felt unrealistic to me it's like Abby gave up and that kind of started on Season 7 with the minis she pretty much lost all the ogs at that point then she lost the rest of her older girls while going to jail then getting cancer coming back so I don't think she cared how glam it was anymore she had her own things going on...
It was clear to me that production entered the competition numbers because why else would other teams have the following entry number every time? That’s not a coincidence when candy apples would be entry number 19 and aldc would be 20!
wasn't like that all the time though. I watched one the other day and it was like NUmber 50 and Number 57. And same with the solos for one episode, it was 20 and 26. BUT it probs is the very next one if you took note of them each time.
It wasn’t like that in the first two seasons you would hear the mothers say oh Chloe number is 79 and Maddie is 145 but it was edited right after simply bc it wouldn’t make sense to show them dancing at different chunk of times for example Nia and Asia duet didn’t exactly dance right after Maddie it was like a 30mins after but they edited like they danced right after Maddie and Chloe solos that week
One note about the comp circuits ‘making up competitions’ is that both Imagine and Believe (comps Abby mentioned) are legit, running competitions to this day. They are both part of the Star Dance Alliance so maybe the producers specifically chose those (as opposed to fully making them up) because they had already worked with many SDA comps before? Just food for thought, because I know Imagine is still running as I competed there just last month!!
Purposely trying to stress the kids out is literally child abuse, and tampering with their costumes or not letting them have enough time to adjust them, so accidents or malfunctions were likely to happen is also abuse, like “oh yeah maybe they’re costume would fall off or maybe this would cause a fall” like geez it’s actually pervy and not to mentally extremely dangerous, an actual fully blown injury could’ve occurred. And Abby banning the guy who Maddie hugged just shows her weird obsession with her, that was clearly out of jealousy
The part that gets me is that Abby accuses the judges of playing favorites when favoritism was the source of all the drama on and off the show. There were also many instances where she would throw a fit when her favorites would lose and her other students would win over her favorites.
Abby is mad the judges “played favorites” when that was ENTIRE basis of her business model😂😂 Her hypocrisy TRULY knows no bounds. Abby also had issues with production messing with competition results, but her doing it was ok. Most of us has realized the competition circuit was fake and the results were edited/faked for drama, but there are those few that INSIST they were all real and everything was legit. It’s not just that the competitions were fake, but there was interference in subtle and obvious ways. I love these videos.. packed FULL of stuff I have always wondered
Agreed. I feel like the people who INSIST it was real are the die hard Maddie fans. I swear they think all the competitions were real and fair besides when she didn’t win, then they have an excuse or call that one fake. Some Dance Moms fans truly remind me of Abby herself. Smh. 🤦♀️
@@cait_xo they can’t see what’s real even with evidence and will defend until blue in the face. I don’t know how many times I point out facts and still meet with I’m wrong. It’s frightening.
I only believe that the 100% real competitions are Season 1 and a few more of early season 2.....obviously production may of had influence on them. But they competed season 1, and the show premiered when they were at season 1 nationals. The competitions with more people at awards (mainly season 1-4) were more realistic looking than the later seasons with like just the ALDC there. thats what makes them look fake etc
Has anyone else noticed that especially in later seasons music mishaps would happen when songs had been used before on either AUDC or in earlier seasons of Dance moms?
I went to highschool with people who were in dance competitions in the same area. The Dance Moms performed at the events but were in their own category, and lots of kids (at least the ones I knew) were told to avoid them
I think the moms know everything points out to the competitions being rigged, but they choose to care for their daughters self-steems (not public image, unlike everyone says). Imagine thinking you won a lot of things and then it turns out it was handed to you just because you were on a TV show, so you basically never won anything, wasting your youth in competitive dancing for nothing. It probably gives some psychological repercussions. The mothers know, they are just caring for everyone's psyche
Someone should do a deep dive. Call the few studios that were at the competition’s. They had to pay to be there. The competitions were not open to the public. Look up the dates, the competitions didn’t exist on those date’s 😅
I can't believe that any of these children, now grown, are in one piece😥 I can't believe their mothers didn't fight tooth and nail even if they had to go to court to get their children out of that environment! 💔 It really makes me angry that the moms are still making money off of it.
I 100% believe cathy when she said production entered the girls because they would be the only ones to know what competition they would be doing on the show, they don't plan it too far in advance, and every real competition has studios register in September before the comp season begins the following February/march
I wonder what kind of influence the producers had when Chloe dropped her hat in that one episode. I think it was season 3 then she got suspended by Abby. I wonder if the producers told Abby that Chloe couldn’t come back or something like that. I would love to know what really happened in that one.
I was at the season 4 nationals and the ALDC definitely did win the overall group award. It was a clean sweep for them except for Mackenzie’s 2nd place (which I was surprised by)
I was also there for my duet abby dabba honeymoon, i was 4 so i don’t remember that much and i remember they tried to make kenzie in the age 4-7 pelite category i think it was backstage.
not sure if this is something you’ve done before. but are you able to do a video specifically on gianna? how she sat back and watched abby’s behavior towards the girls playing a part in their trauma, going along with abby’s antics and even supporting them, did she really agree to go along with these things or was she just protecting her job, was she a victim of abby as well.
Could (or have you) make a video the follows Abby's full arc? How she changed each season, etc. [[And perhaps dig into the mystery in my mind, wondering why she was mever acused of substance use]] 😅😮😮😮
Omg whenever she was dealing with her fraud case I think season 6 she started acting like she was on something by the way her mouth movements she made I've always thought she was on drugs that season just be that.
Omg the producers should be arrested and charged with child abuse. Why in gods name would you want to intentionally hurt these babies? I say “babies” because they are so young. Disgusting.
Not Abby complaining about judges playing favorite's... I'm sure she was fine as long as it was in maddies favor. It's horrible how she alienated maddie from her friends. That wasn't fair to any of those girl's. They were ALL worthy of being the favorite and they all should have been. But I'm sure production would have stopped that instantly. I apologize to any of those dancers who I've said something not nuce about their dancing. I see now it was Abby who just didn't give them a chance to become their best and that's just plain wrong . So Nia, and Paige I'm very, very sorry
I believe some competitions were real and the producers edited it for more drama and 3/4 of the competitions were fake due to many circumstances done by Abby and production. Now Dance Moms producers are attacking Cathy for speaking up.
How could a reasonable minded person really enjoy Dance Moms? The producers were despicable and the moms allowed their children to be traumatized in order to let them gain national attention. And they did do that but at what cost? And now Glo and other moms have allowed themselves to be part of the new era with the same toxic environment for the same attention. What is wrong with all these people? Why so many people watch it for the toxic drama is mind boggling. I watch it because I do like to see the girls dance but I find myself being traumatized by all the hatefulness created by this show. The producers didn't then and still don't care about these children and Jeff Collins is at the top in my opinion. These moms sold their souls to the devil and took their children along with them. Sad.
I think most of the competitions were completely rigged! I mean they were either paying the competitions to let them film or putting on the competitions for the show themselves. I think production pretty much had lay of the land when it came to who placed where. Maybe not at all the competitions in the first 2 seasons but I think season 3 on production was putting on most of the competitions themselves and therefore could probably alter scores as they pleased.
The riggery is more to do with abby in my opinion, she definitely got favouritism in the early seasons as well, being personally friendly with the judges etc is suspicious
Imo the competitions were very producer influenced if they wanted some drama to happen during the competitions (eg erika in the wrong age category, not setting up props, etc) they would make it happen.
Christi said she didn’t want to be apart of the first one bc it would bring old memories back so they decided to continue with out the second one is technically like a reboot of the first one
She knew how some still would gloss over things and she didn’t want to be put in a situation where it would go left. I enjoy Christi and Kelly’s more because they don’t hold back and have guest stars giving real accounts without being pigeonholed.
😡It sounds to me that the producers and production are way worse than meany Abby!!! Poor kids and their moms !! It's so toxic !! Shame on the producers!!! 😡. 👯♂️👯♀️👯
I'm sorry like about Gino's performance on the stage being half naked is not okay like it almost exposed his entire body on the show including that there are child predator out there watching him and thinking nasty thing in there mind like who made him dress like that? Productions? You cannot be serious letting Gino being half naked like that.
I even felt some of the moms were bad actors and and you guys should see the new dance moms it as fake as they come but this time it's obvious their repeating the same fights, having each girl have the same personality's as the old girls like Why can't they be themselves why do they have to play a character and the dance coach Glo uses the Abby quotes come up with your own material and there's bad acting from both the girls and the moms I mean it's not even believable I laughed at how bad it was and we have a favorite like Maddie and we have someone who cries over everything like Kendall she cries if you look at her I mean I can't tell you how bad it is oh and these Alpha girls are spoiled little who don't support each other so there nothing like the other girls and Maddie like leader is a little diva there nothing like the originals and the sow was so FAKE!!!! So meat the new Maddie, Chloe, Brooke, Paige, Nia, MacKenzie, Kendall and even Kalani. I'm sure if it's renewed they'll probably have a Brynn or Jojo in Season 2 it's annoying that they can't be their own self. Brynn saw it and she's very appalled by how disrespectful the girls are to each other and Jojo accused Glo of basically plagiarism to Abby
The issue I have with the new one is they’re giving the villain edit to a kid. In the old Dance Moms, Cathy was edited to be the villain. Sooo much hate was directed to her. Now it’s a kid? That’s gonna lead to cyber bullying for that child
So NOW Melissa is vocal about what went on BTS. I thought her daughter was the best thing to walk this earth and other moms were so jealous of them. No shade on the daughter(s) though
Couldn’t they have not agree to do what producers asked them to do? Was it on their contract to obey producers? Unless I was getting hourly paid, I don’t think I would have stayed I. The room until producer allowed me to leave. Isn’t it illegal to be taken hostage? Is moms understood how much producers had control over them, why did moms believe Abby was bad person mistreating their girls? Didn’t it occur to them that perhaps Abby did what she had to do also because of producer? At the end, everyone became famous because of the show. I guess it all depends on what they wished for

abby claims she was the one to do the costumes all the time.
The riggery is more to do with abby in my opinion, she definitely got favouritism in the early seasons as well, being personally friendly with the judges etc is suspicious
Imo the competitions were very producer influenced if they wanted some drama to happen during the competitions (eg erika in the wrong age category, not setting up props, etc) they would make it happen.
does anyone know why they have two podcasts without christi??
Christi said she didn’t want to be apart of the first one bc it would bring old memories back so they decided to continue with out the second one is technically like a reboot of the first one
She knew how some still would gloss over things and she didn’t want to be put in a situation where it would go left. I enjoy Christi and Kelly’s more because they don’t hold back and have guest stars giving real accounts without being pigeonholed.
def some of kenzie dances where underscored.
JayZ had something to do with dance moms???
do we still believe anything ALM says ?
Rarely.
😡It sounds to me that the producers and production are way worse than meany Abby!!! Poor kids and their moms !! It's so toxic !! Shame on the producers!!! 😡. 👯♂️👯♀️👯
So close... 😊
i would love to know your thoughts in a video of the dance moms reunion!
I'm sorry like about Gino's performance on the stage being half naked is not okay like it almost exposed his entire body on the show including that there are child predator out there watching him and thinking nasty thing in there mind like who made him dress like that? Productions? You cannot be serious letting Gino being half naked like that.
bruh this shit is child abuse
The show was a sham
Did the producers get sued?
MackcBoss is the best
I even felt some of the moms were bad actors and and you guys should see the new dance moms it as fake as they come but this time it's obvious their repeating the same fights, having each girl have the same personality's as the old girls like Why can't they be themselves why do they have to play a character and the dance coach Glo uses the Abby quotes come up with your own material and there's bad acting from both the girls and the moms I mean it's not even believable I laughed at how bad it was and we have a favorite like Maddie and we have someone who cries over everything like Kendall she cries if you look at her I mean I can't tell you how bad it is oh and these Alpha girls are spoiled little who don't support each other so there nothing like the other girls and Maddie like leader is a little diva there nothing like the originals and the sow was so FAKE!!!! So meat the new Maddie, Chloe, Brooke, Paige, Nia, MacKenzie, Kendall and even Kalani. I'm sure if it's renewed they'll probably have a Brynn or Jojo in Season 2 it's annoying that they can't be their own self. Brynn saw it and she's very appalled by how disrespectful the girls are to each other and Jojo accused Glo of basically plagiarism to Abby
The issue I have with the new one is they’re giving the villain edit to a kid. In the old Dance Moms, Cathy was edited to be the villain. Sooo much hate was directed to her. Now it’s a kid? That’s gonna lead to cyber bullying for that child
Sorry comps were fake!
So NOW Melissa is vocal about what went on BTS. I thought her daughter was the best thing to walk this earth and other moms were so jealous of them.
No shade on the daughter(s) though
Chloe was definitely favored a lot by the judges, especially in season 4 where it’s obvious that Kamryn should’ve won
Couldn’t they have not agree to do what producers asked them to do? Was it on their contract to obey producers? Unless I was getting hourly paid, I don’t think I would have stayed I. The room until producer allowed me
to leave. Isn’t it illegal to be taken hostage? Is moms understood how much producers had control over them, why did moms believe Abby was bad person mistreating their girls? Didn’t it occur to them that perhaps Abby did what she had to do also because of producer? At the end, everyone became famous because of the show. I guess it all depends on what they wished for
Abby was the same off camera.
Chloe's climactic and "miraculous" victory over Maddie at the season 2 nationals was completely fake.

What makes you say that 🤨
6:39 The “perfect fit” sleeves didn’t fit, how ironic😂😂😂
If the sleeves don’t fit, you must acquit!
