The title of the group routine is "Fight Camp."
This is about the fight in you.
I want to see the fight that you want to be the best dancer.
ABBY LEE MILLER: Yes, you are together onstage.
Now, remember, at the end of this week,
I will be sending some of you home.
Right this second, now, everyone has an equal slate.
I want kids who love what they're doing.
KERRI: Is it a true clean slate for everyone?
Or are you still taking things that happened?
I have to take things that happen with everybody
into consideration.
So it could be, I still don't want you,
you're not going to be here, and it's
not worth trying, because--
I don't know, Kerri.
Answer your own question.
[music playing]
Where are you going?
ABBY LEE MILLER: Yes, sir.
JILL: You know, Kerri didn't get a good start from the start.
And the problem is, if Abby doesn't like you,
she makes it miserable for your child.
And Peyton's so little, I think Kerri made the right decision
in just not sticking it out.
Abby was going to cut her anyway.
KERRI: Oh.
[alexus giggling]
Oh, well.
One down, lots to go.
All right, girls, this is fight camp, this isn't day camp.
Understood?
All right, come on, let's go.
All right, do the jump.
Raise.
She steps right, you walk left, right, left.
Hey, so let's see.
[music playing]
I'm doing a routine that's very similar to the routine I did
when all the elites walked out.
They left because this wasn't a winning routine.
Well, they're wrong.
It is a winning routine.
This dance is about their fight, their integrity.
I want to cut people at the end of the week.
Who is fighting for their life?
Who doesn't want to get cut?
Show me, girls, how much fight do you have in you?
Go get on the bus, girls.
Let's go.
[music playing]
[cheering]
[chanting "abby"]
All right, you are fighting for a spot on the team.
But I also want to see your fight.
Do you have any fight in you?
All right, let's go.
Everybody, come on.
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome to the stage, "Fight Camp."
[cheering]
[MUSIC - THE ROSEMARYS &WILDEWEST, "FIGHT CAMP"]
(SINGING) We're on fire, burning up on the floor.
Takes us higher than we've ever been before.
Our desire to reach for our dreams.
[applause]
ANNOUNCER: Put your hands together for entry number 28.
That was "Fight Camp."
[cheers and applause]
Are we ready for some awards?
[cheering]
First place in the pre-teen group category
goes to entry number 28, "Fight Camp."
[cheers and applause]
HOLLY: It was a great day for competition for us.
But the next stage we're facing is, who is Abby going to cut.
And right now, it's tense.
WOMAN: Good job, girls.
Good job, team.
Girls, line up.
I'm emotionally torn.
I want one cohesive team.
So it makes sense to cut some of the minis.
But how do I cut kids who didn't do anything wrong,
who didn't go to another instructor
like the junior elite competition team has?
But then again, I love the girls that
have been with me for years.
But I have to think about what is best for my team.
I'm really, really, really torn.
[music playing]
I-- (TEARFULLY) I can't make the decision.
It's awful.
And I'm just not ready right now.
I'm-- I have to use the bathroom.
[girls sobbing]
