Of course, Payton.
Payton, you have yet to admit that you are fooling around.
First you tripped over the leg of the chair.
Then it wasn't the leg of the chair.
Then it was Kendall's leg.
But I'm hearing that you were making
fun of the ballet routine on stage,
and you were doing ballet steps fooling around.
And that's how you fell.
Who are you hearing these stories from?
Every single person that was backstage.
She turned around and tripped over a prop.
Don't try to make lies about my daughter.
Payton put this entire team and your victory in jeopardy.
If you don't want her on the team,
and you want to kick her off, just kick her off.
Goodbye. You are off.
- Goodbye. - Go.
- Let's go, Payton. - Go.
Remember that when you go to ask her back again.
You can't keep messing with somebody's head over and over.
You're the liar, not my daughter.
So this weekend, we are going to Roanoke, Virginia.
This competition is called Dance Troupe International.
And I kind of heard a little rumbling that the wicked witch
is going to fly in.
HOLLY FRAZIER: When I hear that right up against the Candy
Apples I dread it because I know it's going
to bring out the worst in Abby.
ABBY LEE MILLER: The group routine is entitled,
"The Witches of East Canton."
[LAUGHTER]
Maddie, you bring light to the stage.
You are the good witch, me.
You'll be portraying me.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
ABBY LEE MILLER: And the rest of you will be the evil.
So I want to see your true witchiness come through.
You can channel your mom's.
Cathy has a new team.
She's back to all the boys.
I think you have been winning choreography.
I beat them.
Maddie beat them.
You came along for the ride.
the ride's over.
She's pissed.
Whoever peed in Abby's cornflakes this morning,
I don't know.
But whenever it's a Candy Apples week,
we always get the worst in Abby.
Abby being the good witch is like, I don't know,
Hannibal Lecter claiming to be Santa Claus.
Like, it's ridiculous.
When you have Cathy and Abby, you have blurred lines.
I don't know who can say one's a good witch
and one's a bad witch.
Did anybody practice after they left here last night?
All right, just let me tell you-- look at me.
[INAUDIBLE] ask me an open question like I just asked.
Who wants to win a million dollars?
Me, I do.
This is what I saw.
Who puts their hand up like that.
Lazy sluts.
I want kids who want to be the best.
So if they're going to bring people in to beat you,
I'm going to have to start bringing people in to.
Holy [BLEEP].
ABBY LEE MILLER: Not the time to be lazy.
Let's go from the top.
And 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2, 3, 4.
This is the last day of rehearsal
before we leave for competition.
And I know that the wicked witch of the west is coming,
and she has a team of all boys and one girl.
Well, my routine better be flawless.
Get up in those feet.
You're not doing that.
You're always like this.
We need to win.
And I will stop at nothing until that happens.
[APPLAUSE]
Hi there, Abby. How are you?
Good luck today.
Hey, listen.
You want to meet my new team?
The wicked witch, Cathy.
I have zero tolerance for her.
I need to get my girls to the dressing room to stay focused.
The best way for us to drive Cathy crazy
is just to ignore her.
I don't see any new faces [INAUDIBLE]..
OK, nobody we know.
Ew, it must look like your face, then.
Oh, no, it doesn't.
But it's hard to ignore Cathy because she's
like a little chihuahua.
Me, me, me, me.
Cathy asked if someone threw up on you.
She's so ignorant.
She's such a witch.
I already forgot about her.
Just stop.
She's really a witch.
She does not exist.
ANNOUNCER: [INAUDIBLE] contestant number 193,
"Wild Party" from--
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - LIZANN, "WILD PARTY"]
Queenie was a beauty and her age stood still.
A vaudeville dancer, sure to thrill.
She did it with a man.
His name was Burrs.
As I came on just after hers.
But lately, Queenie wined with the rest.
Lately, she was bored with him.
She needed more than dance.
They'll both say, let's have a party tonight.
They'll say, you'll need to get going tonight.
A party, a party, a wild, wild party of love.
[APPLAUSE]
My dance just killed it.
They were brilliant.
McKenzie, oh my gosh.
Amazing.
It's a happy moment for me.
Now, I'm going to say something
and I'm not hurting your feelings.
Just man up.
I want to be Vince Lombardi, and I want to pump you all up
and tell you you're going to go out there and win,
but I'm just a realist.
I'm trying to tell you that when you step
out on that stage, sometimes your best
isn't good enough anymore.
All right, Vince.
And you, I want to talk to you.
I want you to know that I'm very proud of you.
That you have carried these groups.
I wish everybody else in this group worked as hard as you do.
But I'm looking for people.
I'm out there.
And I'm auditioning them.
OK?
Yes.
Cathy had an amazing little girl on her team.
I just want the judges eyes totally on Maddie.
Maddie, we're depending on you.
Focus.
And the rest of my girls better be 100%.
[CHATTER]
ANNOUNCER: Performing me "The Witches Of East Canton," this
is the Abby Lee Dance Company.
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - CUT ONE, "OUT OF THE SHADOWS"]
Out of the shadows.
Over the seas.
Under the water.
You're lost in the trees.
You are the distance.
You are a thief.
You are other the power.
The only belief.
How can I learn how to trust you?
Fighting away, how to get through.
No I can't take it.
I can't take it.
The devil he keeps, the devil he keeps it all.
My heart is a worthless game.
What the hell you expect me to say.
When I can't take it, I can't take it.
The devil he keeps, the devil he keeps it all.
They look beautiful.
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - CUT ONE, "OUT OF THE SHADOWS"] [MUSIC -
CUT ONE, "OUT OF THE SHADOWS"]
How can I learn how to trust you?
Fighting away, how to get through.
No I can't take it, I can't take it.
The devil he keeps, the devil he keeps it all.
[APPLAUSE]
Watching our girls on stage, my jaw just dropped.
I actually got goosebumps.
It was amazing.
[INAUDIBLE] together.
I really can't believe how great my girls looked.
They were wonderful out there.
If we were going up against anybody else,
I'd say we have this one in the bag.
But we're going up against a team full of boys,
and that's always tough.
It's in the judge's hands now.
ANNOUNCER: Moving now to our overall exhibition--
[INAUDIBLE]
HOLLY FRAZIER: The girls have to show Abby that they're
capable of winning.
And of course, you want the girls to produce
a win against the Candy Apples.
But when it doesn't happen, then no one's space
is really secure.
ANNOUNCER: Our third place award goes
to number 158, "Shake, Move, Wiggle,"
Floyd Ward School of Dance.
Second place overall-- junior age division small group--
goes to contestant number 193, "Wild Party,"
Candy Apple Dance Center.
[APPLAUSE]
CATHY NESBITT-STEIN: But honey, it's not your fault.
I am in complete shock.
Our dance was way better.
I'm not standing around waiting to watch this woman gloat.
I'm out of here.
OK, we are just walking.
We're not engaging.
ANNOUNCER: And now ladies and gentlemen,
receiving our overall award.
First place junior age division for small group level
two, number 194, "The Witches of East Canton,"
Abby Lee Dance Company.
[APPLAUSE]
Where did she go?
[INAUDIBLE]
I seriously was not expecting that.
I did not think that we were going to pull out this win.
Cathy, you're a wicked witch, and the house of Abby Lee
just fell on you.
Goodbye.
Hi.
For you to say there's nothing more I can do,
you're right, in a sense that you're
batting up against a persona.
I was so confident in my heart of hearts.
That yeah, you know what, we did it this time.
There's a lot of politics in judging.
Right.
So they are trying to--
If you had me and Travis Wall--
No kidding.
No kidding - --on the panel--
- Absolutely. - --they wouldn't have won.
Which is what I said. They're young.
They're new.
They're hoping for a career someday as big as his.
- That's right. - So what do they need to do?
They need to-- they need to stroke.
They need to stroke. - They are stroking.
That's right. Oh, I know.
But in the meantime, you all are number two.
And you all are losers.
Abby has the exposure behind her.
She cavorts all over the countryside
to every single competition she can drag her team to.
Those judges know her.
It's getting to be a little bit more than I can swallow.
It's sad that they think that they're-- they really
think that they're as good as they are being--
it's a false honor.
[APPLAUSE]
We beat them.
I can't do that dance.
I'll pee my self.
