- This week, you guys are competing in the Buckets
to the Floor competition right here in Jackson.
The Dancing Dolls are only competing in the stand category
this week.
So I make sure that the girls are completely in the mindset
and in the zone to get out there and win this week.
We never underestimate our competitors, right?
I always tell y'all that.
You guys are always competing.
They may not be.
So they may be sitting back, watching.
So we have to make sure that we come up with new stands
so they don't take y'all's old stands
and throw them up in your face.
And even if they try to throw them,
it won't even make a difference, because we're
onto something else.
I've put a lot of time in stands.
And if I don't make it, then it's like,
that would be, like, a real heartbreaker moment for me.
1, 2 and 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
As I'm watching Sunjai go through the stands,
surprisingly, she's doing pretty good.
You know, she gets better and better with everything
stand that we're doing.
And she realizes that, you know what, I can actually do this.
1, 2, 3, 4, to the front, 6, 7, 8.
I'm at a point with her where I really want her to make cuts.
She needs this.
But I still don't trust her.
We need to have cuts.
If you can't keep up, you're not going to be able to be
a part of the battle quad.
This is the way we roll.
I'm ready for cuts.
Like, I'm ready to just get this out the way, period.
I think that I'm going to do the--
Because I've been going to practice every day,
even when I don't need to and her have to go to practice,
I still go, just to get that little extra practice in.
And I'm ready for her to either say that I made it or I didn't.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, 8.
And 1, and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, 8.
And i.
Sunjai, concentrate, concentrate.
Do it again.
5, 6, 7, 8.
[clapping in rhythm]
Sunjai, that's two.
Three and you're done.
Sunjai keeps messing up.
We don't have the time to constantly cut her slack.
You knew what you were signing up for.
Why is it that you not dancing like you want to be up here?
Weak links hurt the squad.
I don't know how else to fix it.
I done hollered. I done screamed.
I done shouted. I done cussed.
I done prayed all.
I done praying with ya.
I don't know what to do.
I don't have time for it.
I can't help you.
Move out of line.
Walking into competition today, I'm still very, very on edge.
You know, I didn't sleep well last night.
And I'm still really angry with Sunjai.
But I can't let my anger show.
I have to be the one that's focused,
and calm, and confident, because we're here to battle.
We're here to win.
Hey, Miss D. Can I talk to you?
What you want?
I know that I didn't make cuts last night,
but I want you to give me another chance.
Why? Why?
Because I think that--
I wouldn't be asking you right now if I didn't know-- if I
felt like I couldn't do it.
But I feel like I can do it.
What's the difference between now and yesterday?
Because yesterday, you did not have your stuff together.
I know.
But I went home.
I worked on the stuff.
And like, I tried to figure out the formations in my head.
I think that's what got me last night was the formations.
I was mad at you because I felt like I wanted more for you
than you wanted for you.
I'm pulling for you.
And you just-- - I know.
I really want it.
I really, really want it.
Let me talk to Kayla and see what she said.
- OK. - My captain is my right hand.
And she's my boots on the ground kind of thing.
She's my eyes and ears in the midst of the squad.
Sunjai just came up to me and asked me about giving her
another chance in the stands. - Oh, no.
I think we should just give her one chance.
And if she do mess us up, I think I'd be like, well,
I'm the that say yeah to her. - OK.
Great. I'm glad you said that.
So if she messes up, I'm gonna hold you accountable.

Welcome to Buckets on the Floor.
Are y'all ready for the stand battle?
[cheering]
[music playing]
(SINGING) It's time to party, party.
Just let go.
Don't care as much.
What's her name?
I ain't never seen that happen.
Where she from?
Where they do that at?
Oh, she hall of fame.
(RAPPING) Do you remember the day we said we'd make it here.
And now we at the top, and no one's even coming near.
Stop hating, and tell me what I want to hear.
I'm about to turn it down.
I'm the brother who'll bring the trouble 'cause it's going down.
Right now, I am in my element.
Like, I feel really good, even though with me being nervous,
the head's just falling away.
And the winner of the stand battle--
the Dancing Dolls.
[cheering]
Sunjai would always get so close to the finish line,
and she would just stop.
But at the competition today, Sunjai did what she had to do,
and she won the race.
To come out with the win, it was exciting, because I
know how hard the girls worked.
They really earned it today.
