DD4L.
DD4L!
DIANNA WILLIAMS: Faith takes off like a raging bull.
RITTANY ANDERSON: She's a force to be reckoned with.
DIANNA WILLIAMS: The judges immediately sit up.
DANA ROILTON: They're expecting her to fail.
All right, Crystianna!
She did good.
Ooh!
I'm going to choose six girls to participate,
to face off against six girls from each team.
Each dancer only has 30 seconds.
Once your 30 seconds is up, that's it.
Wherever you are, you have to completely stop.
They don't know who they're battling.
You don't know who you're going to battle.
You know what I would love to see?
To shut her mouth.
Ah! Faith?
Faith?
Yeah.
They're expecting her to fail.
But that's OK.
I can't wait for Dianna to choose her so I
can actually shut their mouths.
I want to put Faith in that ground.
See if she have it.
The last person is Faith.
[clapping]
This is the first time Coach D has
ever chosen me for a call-out or a freestyle round.
And I want to show everybody I can boogie just as
well as I could be a ballerina.
[music playing]
Time.
Whatever that was you did at the beginning, I didn't like it.
Cartwheels are not tricks.
You did too much walking.
You waste time.
The girls only have 30 seconds.
That's it.
So those 30 seconds have to be good from start to finish.
I know that Faith is trying, but I still just don't see it.
It makes me feel like I made the wrong decision.
You need to come out with some fire.
You know what I'm saying?
Use your strengths, Faith.
Use your head.
Just because you made cuts now don't mean
you can't be cut tomorrow.
Don't make me regret picking you.
Oh, Faith is not impressing Coach D right now.
We probably need to get a little extra help this week
because she needs to prove herself as the go-to person
in the freestyle round.
Glad you can join us.
Dana and Shameka ask me to help Faith and Daija freestyle.
We really need your expertise this week.
This is Faith's first time in call-out round,
and she needs some help.
Put some of the inner Kayla beast in her.
If Faith and Daija want some help,
they're going to have come with me and do what I do.
Sweep.
Easy.
There you go.
Now that Faith and Daija have worked on a few things,
let's see what they got.
Hey!
Come on, Faith!
[cheering]
I like what I'm seeing here.
The girls are letting go.
They're having fun.
They're actually getting into the groove of it.
And that's all their freestyle is.
[inaudible], Faith.
[cheering]
If Faith does not get up here and kill this,
there's a chance that we may have to go to a tiebreaker.
(SINGING) And I mean that boo from the curls in my hair
to the tips of my shoe.
Faith takes off like a raging bull.
She's got those horns going.
And I'm like, olé!
Olé!
That's right, baby!
[inaudible] That's right.
Throughout the week, Faith was 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.
3 2, 1!
[cheering]
I feel like Faith should win.
But with these judges, you just never
know what they're going to do.
Dancing Dolls.
Yes!
Congratulations, Dancing Dolls, on your win
and finally restoring my faith in you
in these call-out rounds.
[music playing]
Crystianna, are you ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
What do you mean?
You don't sound too happy about that.
What's wrong?
Well, since this is my first week back,
I just feel like, since I've got the solo, it's like a test.
People may be wondering why you got this Captains' Battle,
but don't worry about people.
Like, it doesn't matter.
You're damn good.
You deserve it.
And I think that you're going to go out there and shine, OK?
So smile.
And let's get to work, OK?
Captains' battle.
Crystianna, that's all on you this week.
Everybody's going to be watching to see what you're going to do.
Y'all ready?
Yes!
DD4L!
Let's get it.
Let's go!
[dance music]
(SINGING) Hey.
Yeah.
Wow, wow, wow.
Hey!
We about to break the floor.
Oh.
Hey!
DIANNA WILLIAMS: I'm very impressed with some
of the new things that she's trying.
She's trying to open up her book of versatility and showcase
that I can do a lot more than what people think I can do.
(SINGING) [inaudible] out of time.
Wow!
[cheering]
All right, judges.
Please announce your decision.
The Dancing Dolls.
[cheering]
[dance music]
Ladies and gentlemen, let's get it!
Let's go!
[dance music]
Y'all gonna do ballet, you better do it right.
Black Ice dancer starts and immediately, she starts
utilizing our choreography.
She does a whole trick that Camryn normally does with all
these leaps and things.
And I'm like, you were prepared for Camryn, weren't you?
Surprise!
(SINGING) You're so electric.
Feels so electric.
All right!
Crystianna goes first.
And when she starts dancing, I can automatically
see she's going for it.
She's going for the gusto all the way across the board.
She's given everything that she has.
All right, Crystianna!
(SINGING) So electric.
So electric.
Damn, I hate to admit it.
Watching Crystianna, I understand why Dianna
took her back with the Dolls.
She's a force to be reckoned with.
(SINGING) Watch me go.
[cheering]
In our Captains' Battle, coming in first place is--
I think Crystianna killed it, but I really want
the judge's backing on this.
Because if they give Crystianna a win,
it will show Dianna that she's a soloist
that can bring home a trophy.
From Jackson, Mississippi, the Dancing Dolls.
[cheering]
It's my first week back, and I won the Captains' Battle.
That's the way you come back to being a Doll.
Jaylene, you are going to be the sheriff.
[clapping]
The sheriff runs the town.
So as soon as the music starts, you
are to come out with all of your leaps, jumps, turns, tricks,
whatever you have.
Got it? - Yes.
So let's go back.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't let a new girl
choreograph their own solo.
But Jaylene has experience in dance.
She's competed before, so I definitely trust her.
I want to throw her ass in the fire,
and I want to see what she's got.
[music playing]
Jaylene is a technique dancer.
She does acrobatics, and she does contortion.
She is amazing.
I know she's going to do good.
Real good.
Keep going, Jaylene.
Keep going.
Jaylene, you got all this time.
You got all this.
That was too short.
Jaylene has to dance the whole thing, not half.
You need to help her or something.
Or I'm going to cut the whole thing,
and she's not going to do it. I'mma get somebody else.
OK.
I get that Jaylene is new.
I don't give a damn.
Because I want more.
That's not enough.
I want more.
I want way more.
It's not explosive enough.
I hope that Jaylene can pull this solo together
and can repair some of the damage.
Jaylene, get out.
Jaylene, your solo is the beginning of the routine,
and it sets the tone.
So if it's not entertaining and it's not good,
they're not going to want to watch.
[western music]
With Jaylene, I just knew she was going
to be nervous with this being her first time
as an official Doll.
But she nailed it.
[cheering]
Do it, girl!
Yeah!
(SINGING) [inaudible]
The team joins in, and the routine
sets off a fire in the room.
And the judges immediately sit up.
[western music]
[cheering]
Coming in first place in our creative category,
from Jackson, Mississippi--
[cheering]
--the Dancing Dolls.
I'm excited.
I'm happy.
And it's our first competition of the season.
And guess who's first?
Of course it's us.
Kayla, get up that seat and work on your solo.
Kayla has a big solo that she has to do.
And she's going to be representing the team.
And I want to make sure that she's
able to get through the solo without running out of breath
and without getting tired.
I want to make sure that she's in shape
and that she can handle all the pressure
that's going to be put on her at the competition this week.
And you have to make sure that your captains' solo is
on point, and everything that we practiced during the week
is where it's supposed to be.
I know I have a good solo.
But at the same time, my heart's beating fast.
It's like, I'm not worried about it, but I'm worried about it.
Everybody's asking, you ready?
You ready?
I'm like, sure.
I got this.
You mess up, I'll kill you.
Now we want to welcome to the stage, Dancing Dolls.
[cheering]
Knowing that Kayla is about to kill it,
nobody talk, nobody breathe.
Because Kayla about to do the damn thing.
[dance music ]
Go Kayla!
Yeah!
(SINGING) Give it up to my women,
logging in 40-something hours every damn weekend.
DIANNA WILLIAMS: 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.
(SINGING) Women, you're all beautiful.
Stay beautiful.
Yeah.
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've got to have first place,
made me feel great.
Because that lets me know, yes, I did that.
I did that.
[cheering]
It was real!
It was really real.
I felt it all the way.
I did.
Yes--
Moving my bones was enough.
[inaudible] Whew.
I feel it.
She did good.
Now we have our captain's division.
They're about to announce captains' solo,
and I can see that Kayla is nervous.
She's fidgeting.
She's not being still.
I was proud of Kayla for pushing herself physically.
It's not just about the dance steps.
It's about being as healthy as possible.
Captains' battle, first place--
the winner is the Dancing Dolls.
[cheering]
It feels good to say I did all that on my own.
The fact that that stuff from earlier this week
of exercising, and eating right, and being
healthy, and getting in shape--
I won first place.
It's very great to say it.
[cheering]
