- You guys ready?
Let's have our two duets in here.
We're traveling to San Jose, California.
There's going to be really tough competition there.
Without Maddie front and center in our group,
they need to prove themselves here
and now, especially in their first duets with the boys.
Get him!
Go!
Look around.
Let us look at you.
And then, [inaudible],, up, down, up, down.
Right now, I think they're a little bit nervous,
because Yadiel's not used to learning a dance in two days
and putting it on stage.
So I hope that he doesn't hold her back when
it comes down to getting this done
and getting it ready to perform.
So you need to get her straight up higher.
Use your arms.
Go.
Uh, you're not in character.
You're not getting it.
Do something.
She's doing nothing.
Again.
That's what's bad.
It's the acting.
Yeah.
You don't want to do it.
It's obvious.
You're not getting excited and into kicking this guy's butt.
Maddie would be like, [inaudible]
because I don't want to go out there and look like an idiot
and not win.
And I'm never going to let Kendall beat me, ever.
That's what would be going through my mind.
Brynn is doing amazing with the lyrical part,
but the ending part, the fight scene, she's
having a hard time being mean.
And that's what we're trying to pull out, that actress in her.
She can do this.
Thank you.
We'll do it.
We'll get through it.
Brynn is anxious about the duo.
She is overwhelmed, and she's sad, and she's stressed,
and she just is having a hard time coping with everything
that's going on this week.
OK.
[sobbing]
Brynn?
[sobbing continues]
Get every opportunity handed to you, and then cry about it.
We should just not do the duo, then.
Just be, like, then you don't have a duo.
That's fine.
Yeah, if you don't like-- you know what?
How many times has Abby said, if you don't like it, don't do it?
Don't do it.
You're out.
Yeah.
Now they're all practicing the group,
and she's not even in there practicing the group.
This is the new beginning.
You're going to be a baby?
We're in here doing the group.
She's in the bathroom crying about her duo.
That's what [inaudible] is wrong.
That's what's wrong.
It's not fair.
Come on.
Hey, you guys know we're doing the group right now, right?
All the other kids are in there, doing the group?
You're on the team, aren't you?
The team's in there dancing.
Why are you coming to her instead of Gianna?
Because Gianna is working with the girls and the boys.
ABBY LEE: I know but why [inaudible]----
Why aren't you telling her everyone's in there?
Why is this OK? ABBY LEE: I didn't know that.
I didn't know that.
Why is she bawling and it's OK?
Because she's beautiful and wonderful and skinny
and I like her.
Kendall got her duo taken away because she did that crap.
- Just stop. - No, I'm not going to stop.
[interposing voices] - It's ridiculous.
[inaudible].
Kids are practicing their dance for you, for your name.
Let's go.
Now.
We've got to get on the bus.
Jessalynn is the meanest mom on the team.
She did not have to come butt in.
I don't know why she cares about me
so much, because, seriously, why does she?
She doesn't have to.
She's always talking about me, and I don't know why.
Miss Abby gave me some really good
advice from a long time ago.
She said, you can't listen to what the other moms say.
She said that I need to stick up for myself
and not let the other moms walk all over me.
I'm very glad that Abby has my back.
