EMCEE: Birmingham wins that round.
MOM: Maddy won round one, but the Birmingham
baby won round two.
So now we're at 1 and 1.
It's up to Half Pint.
If she lose, we lose.
If she win, we win.
It's a lot of pressure on a little baby.
I just hope Half Pint can handle that.
Come on, baby!
Come on, Half Pint!
HALF PINT: I love ballet because if I wins, the whole team wins.
EMCEE: Ladies and gentlemen, our final two dancers.
Let's get it! Let's go!
[music playing]
SINGER: (SINGING) [inaudible] to the stage.
I'm a [inaudible] open.
[inaudible] down here [inaudible]..
Easy breezy sunshine. [inaudible]
Look at me pop up.
Never stop [inaudible].
I'm on top, top.
Want your boy [inaudible] and then [inaudible]..
Before you can [inaudible] game on point.
[inaudible]
And Half Pint takes the field. SINGER: (SINGING) Got to go.
[inaudible] every day.
[inaudible] like the whole [inaudible] ace of spades
based on [inaudible].
She wasn't Half Pint.
She was the whole frickin' gallon.
SINGER: (SINGING) [inaudible] air.
Look at the [inaudible] fresh stare.
[inaudible] get no hanky panky.
[inaudible]
Half Pint just dances and dances and dance.
She got face.
She got attitude.
She got a whole lot of everything.
MOM: Wow, Half Pint!
She set the field on fire.
MOM: The factor goes to Half Pint.
The attitude factor goes to Jermerri.
The swag factor goes to both their behinds.
So to be honest, I don't know who
the judges are going to pick.
It could go either way at this point.
And now it's in the hands of the judges.
Birmingham.
Dancers!
Up to the man!
EMCEE: Texas!
Captains and teams shake hands.
Hey, hey, get your ass over there.
Get your ass over there and go shake her hand.
Damiria has an attitude and does not
want to shake Half Pint's hand.
You're not going to always fricking win!
You have to know how to compete, and knowing how to compete
means knowing how to win gracefully
and also to lose gracefully.
Sportsmanship and sportsmanlike conduct is a big deal to me.
It is my job and the job of all the coaches at that Birmingham
studio to make sure the Dancing Dolls of Birmingham
continue to win with class and to lose with class.
Christiana winning her round puts us at 2 to 1.
So this means if Faith does not get up here and kill this,
there's a chance that we may have to go to a tiebreaker.
[music playing]
SINGER: (SINGING) Slay.
Won't you tell them how we do, girl?
Yeah, get it girl!
SINGER: (SINGING) You know [inaudible]..
Impressing you.
Mmm, don't be surprised.
That's what I do.
I slay, and I mean that, boo.
From the [inaudible] my hand to the tips of my shoe.
Babe takes off like a raging bull.
She's got those horns going.
And I'm like, ole!
Ole!
DANA: That's right, baby!
Work it, that's right!
Throughout the week, we were struggling a little bit.
But right now, she is killing it.
Kayla, thank you.
Whatever you put in that potion, she is exploding
right now on the floor.
EMCEE: 3, 2, 1!
COACH: I feel like Faith should win.
But with these judges, you just never
know what they're going to do.
EMCEE: Dancing Dolls
Yeah!
Congratulations, Dancing Dolls, on your win
and finally restoring my faith in you in these callout rounds.
Now we have a tie, and it's coming
down to the callout round.
DD4L.
I look over, and I see Camryn limping and crying.
Well, apparently, she twisted her ankle.
Pumpkin, I need ice.
Camryn is crying.
She's upset, and she's in tears.
And I understand it.
But now we have to find somebody to replace you.
Camryn, what you want to do?
Because we need to win this.
CRYSTIANNA: Camryn tells me that I have to do the callout round,
and I am terrified.
But my team needs me.
Ready?
Do the thang, then.
Remember last time against the same team.
Above and beyond.
I had my reasons for not choosing Crystianna initially,
and when Camryn does, it makes me very nervous
because Crystianna's last couple of callout rounds
didn't go the way Crystianna wanted them to go.
And I'm really worried we may lose against the Compton team.
All right, let's ride.
I'm very nervous because Crystianna's last couple
of callout rounds didn't go the way Crystianna wanted them
to go, and I'm really worried we're going to lose
this week's competition.
EMCEE: All right, this is the final performance
in our callout round.
I know Crystianna.
She's scared for life now.
Hell, she's being put up to a challenge
that she was not even ready for.
Let's get it! Let's go!
[music playing]
SINGER: (SINGING) So bring it.
So bring it.
So, so, so.
Got a [inaudible].
When Crystianna starts dancing,
I see a dancer I have never seen before.
Crystianna came on with it.
I was like, that's the girl that I know.
SINGER: (SINGING) Fight for your life.
Leave it on the floor.
Ready, set, go.
When I was dancing, I just felt
like I was redeeming myself.
SINGER: (SINGING) So bring it.
It's your time.
Make it right.
Baby, [inaudible].
Dancing [inaudible] for your life.
Leave it on the floor.
Ready, set, go.
Leave it on the floor.
EMCEE: Make some nice!
MOM: Dance!
Here it is.
This is what it all comes down to.
Lord, help us.
EMCEE: All right, judges.
Divas take that round.
I don't know what they're looking for today,
but Crystianna absolutely deserved that win.
[interposing voices]
DIANNA: The [bleep] is wrong with these judges?
I'm trying to understand.
Are we watching the same thing?
Even though Crystianna lost, I'm proud of her.
[interposing voices]
DIANNA: This week, the Dancing Dolls are
competing in Mobile, Alabama.
We have to compete in three categories,
and Kayla has a big solo that she has to do.
I'm a little concerned about Kayla's energy level,
making sure that she doesn't get winded
and that she doesn't get tired.
With her getting ready to graduate,
people are going to be looking at her like this is your chance
to put your stamp on the team.
It's the truth.
[music playing]
SINGER: (SINGING) Now, baby, baby, baby,
don't you try [inaudible].
I'm two steps ahead of you.
Two steps ahead of you.
DIANNA: The teams in Mobile start out pretty good.
I see the energy level is there.
I can tell that they're focused.
But I think Kayla's routine is better.
My biggest concern is the Diamondettes
Dance Team simply because they're the hometown favorite.
EMCEE: Now, the moment you've all been waiting for--
Diamondettes
SINGER: (SINGING) I just got a feeling.
[inaudible] got you reeling.
DIANNA: Diamondettes captain starts to move,
and I'm like, whoa.
Everything flowed perfectly.
I can see the judges' faces.
They're smiling while they're watching them.
I'm like, oh, crap.
Here we go.
Kayla better bring it if she wants
the first place trophy today.
SINGER: (SINGING) I'm begging you to break up.
The Diamondettes girl came out,
and I could feel her dancing through her body movement,
through her facial expressions.
I really liked it.
SINGER: (SINGING) Hold on I'm telling you the truth.
The captain of the Diamondettes,
she's out there doing her things.
I see she got a lot of acrobatic moves in her routine.
But I really don't think it's going to top Kayla's.
ANGEL: She went out there and she gave her all.
She was confident.
She rocked it.
So I'm on pins and needles about it,
and I just hope for the best at this point.
DIANNA: Kayla, remember to smile.
Personality, act it up.
Even though there's only one person out there
on the floor for the captain's solo,
they represent the entire team.
Can you imagine 100 people sitting on your shoulders
looking for you to take them across the finish line?
That's the kind of pressure that Kayla is under this week.
I'm really hoping that she can pull it off.
EMCEE: Now we want to welcome to the stage Dancing Dolls.
[interposing voices]
TINA: Knowing that Kayla is about to kill it, nobody talk.
Nobody breathe because Kayla about to do the damn thing.
[music playing]
SINGER: (SINGING) [inaudible] to be a star.
I was [inaudible] to be star.
[inaudible] from the start.
All right.
TINA: I'm watching her serve the audience, play with the judges.
And I'm just thinking, OK, I see her do this all
the time in the living room.
But to watch it on stage, I'm kind of
like, oh, I never seen it.
Oh, there's something new.
She's going crazy out there.
SINGER: (SINGING) I was born to be famous.
I was born to be famous.
yeah, always--
TINA: Thinking back on Kayla's first solo
and watching her today, it's a whole other damn
person, a whole other captain, a whole other Kayla.
And I'm kind of like, yeah, what Dianna said was true.
She is growing up.
Like, she was out there doing her own thing.
Go Kayla!
WOMAN: Yeah baby!
SINGER: (SINGING) Give it up to the [inaudible]
40-something hours every damn weekend.
DIANNA: Watching Kayla do her solo,
everything that I was concerned about with her endurance
and energy is out the window.
She doesn't seem like she's tired or winded at all.
I know Kayla.
She turns it on when it's time to perform.
But at the same time, we've got a stand battle coming up.
Hopefully, she can do it.
SINGER: (SINGING) Women, you are beautiful.
Stay beautiful.
KAYLA: As I'm dancing, I think the crowd
is really feeling me right now.
All this eating right, exercise, lose weight--
you got to be in shape.
You gotta have first place.
Made me feel great because that lets me know, yes, I--
I did that.
[interposing voices]
TINA: I'm like, oh!
Oh!
Wait a minute.
Knowing me and how much I love this for Kayla,
how much I love it period, I was like,
what am I going to do when Kayla leaves?
[bleep] That's DD4L, baby.
TINA: I'm like, damn.
Just damn, you know?
Everybody else is, oh, and I'm like,
here come the damn tears because, you know,
this is our last right.
This is our last ride
It was real!
[interposing voices]
I felt it all the way out there.
Even my bones was in this feeling.
I feel it.
She did good.
Oh!
Yes, ma'am.
Yeah, it got to me a little bit.
KAYLA: After my solo, my mom was just buzzing,
and her eyes, like, red.
I'm kind of like, what's wrong with you?
It's like the beginning in many more ways than just the end.
I have more stuff in the future.
I've seen you do the crunk and [bleep] at home,
but I ain't never seen all that [grunts]..
I was like, oh, new [bleep].
New [bleep]. Attitude!
Attitude!
Well, you should be proud of yourself.
You did a good job.
CAMRYN: Crystianna and Michaela killed the routine.
Now it's my turn, and I'm not going to mess this up.
EMCEE: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the finals.
Let's get it!
Let's go!
[music playing]
SINGER: (SINGING) Pina colada.
Whipped cream with a cherry on top.
Be the whole enchilada.
So now, it's Camryn versus Black Ice's captain,
and I'm like, you know what?
Just bring it on home.
SINGER: (SINGING) If you messing with a girl like me,
I don't do second best.
And I know [inaudible] for free.
So I work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
This [inaudible].
This beat's crazy.
[inaudible] you can handle.
[inaudible] you know that [inaudible]..
DIANNA: Watching Camryn's choreography
for the first time, I'm like, well, all right, Miss Thing!
You go, girl!
SINGER: (SINGING) [inaudible]
MIMI: At this moment, it's anyone's game.
It's like, everybody was giving life today.
I don't know which way the judges may go.
And our judges will score, and we will announce
it at our awards ceremony.
In today's competition, our categories were captain's
battle and stand battle.
Announcing the victors for our captain's battle--
from Jackson, Mississippi, the Dancing Dolls.
All right, Camryn!
Yes!
Yeah, baby!
Camryn, Makayla, and Crystianna pulled through.
Yes for the Dancing Dolls when I say you can't touch us.
Ha, you can't touch us.
[cheering]
