Good morning.
Let's move it.
CINDY: We're at Top Five.
And everything is getting crazy.
It's nerve wracking, it's emotional.
We're all here to win.
ABBY: This week, our theme--
is divas.
[applause]
The skill is performance.
This week is my week because it's diva week.
I'm just going to blow everyone away.
This week's challenge is another dance battle.
Yes.
Now, each one of you are going to battle the ultimate diva.
Please welcome Miss Asia.
[applause]
I cannot believe Asia is here.
Asia won the dance battle challenge last season.
I am not super excited about battling her.
JoJo, it's time to put up, or shut up.
[music playing] (SINGING) Put your hands up.
This is what it sound like.
Put your hands up.
CINDY: JoJo dances like a little baby compared with Asia.
(SINGING) Run the train right off the track.
Now there ain't no turning back.
I'm a bad girl.
Basically, me and Asia right now
are doing the same exact thing.
She's doing phase.
I'm doing phase.
She's doing booty popping.
I'm doing booty popping.
(SINGING) Like the lights in my rear view.
Oh, yeah, take that JoJo.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
You can't copy the moves. JoJo.
I'm a bad girl.
I'm a, I'm a bad girl.
JoJo is two years older than Asia.
And I think JoJo got eaten alive this morning,
Kalani, let's go.
(SINGING) Put your hands up. It's party time.
All the girls in the club--
Going into battling Asia, I knew
that I had to step up my game, because she can pretty much
do everything that I can do.
But she's seven.
And go!
(SINGING) When it's ladies first, and it's Friday night,
all my girls are dressed up to the nines.
Yeah, luck be a lady, I'm ready to shine.
Ooh. We be up in the club.
Yes, ladies first, and the feeling's right.
So throw your hands up to the sky.
All right, Kalani, you're safe.
Get back up there.
[applause]
All right, ladies, you made it through the first round.
Who will win our Performance Challenge?
This is Round Two.
We're changing it up a bit.
You two will face off, and, Asia,
you're going to help me judge. [music playing]
(SINGING) Eh, eh, eh.
Eh, eh, eh.
I didn't see too many tricks that I haven't seen before.
(SINGING) Excuse me, ladies.
There's a dog in the--
(SINGING) There's a dog in the-- beware.
Oh!
I think we have a winner.
McKaylee, Kalani, one person stepped on stage and exploded.
Kalani, you are our challenge winner.
Congratulations.
[applause]
All right, Kalani, for the reward,
you will get to pick your routine.
And you pick the next person who gets to choose
their routine and so on.
We're going to do a little diva chain.
I want the Sassy Jazz routine.
So you played it safe and took the Sassy Jazz.
I wonder if you'll regret that decision?
Now you get to pick who goes next.
JoJo.
JoJo, there are two solos left, both of them,
I think, extremely interesting.
I have no idea who Maria Antoinette and Cleopatra is.
I mean, who even are those people?
I would love to have the Hip Hop Duo.
You want to do the Hip Hop duet?
That's me.
ABBY: Now choose the person that gets
to pick their routine next.
Be very careful.
Pass it to Trinity because if I get paired with Cindy,
I will kill you.
She is off-the-deep-end crazy.
I pick Trinity to go next.
I would also like the Hip Hop duet.
What an interesting turn of events.
The last time Trinity and JoJo danced together, JoJo
was outshined by Trinity.
Who is going to get to pick the solo that they want?
McKaylee.
Really?
You're setting me up with failure.
Now I'm stuck with the worst number.
It is getting on my damn nerves.
I would like to do the contemporary,
the Cleopatra one.
Jianna, you will portray the role of Marie Antoinette.
I don't know who Marie Antoinette is.
I have a lot of homework to do.
She really is in a JoJo world.
Like, she really thinks she's better than everybody.
Who cares?
Are you not a teacher?
Don't you know how to teach your kid?
Any attention is good attention seeking.
Do you not know that?
God.
Cindy is attacking Jessalyn once again.
You know what's funny?
Those girls are going to smoke her in this diva dance.
Any time Cindy talks, I just turn off and block.
It will look ridiculous.
She can't keep up with the big girls now.
Look in the mirror.
You'll see ridiculous.
I think the biggest problem I have with Jess is she's stupid.
You'll never win. Believe me.
Right.
Time for her to go.
Bye, bye, JoJo.
You've been saying that for awhile, but you've been wrong.
[laughs]
Welcome to Diva Week.
Please welcome Trinity and JoJo.
[applause]
CINDY: All right, here they go.
[music playing]
(SINGING) We're going to shake down the heavens.
We're going to shout it out.
So if you want it, yeah, you've got
to shout out, scream it loud.
Tell them what it's all about.
What's that sound coming up from the ground?
And from my toes to my head making me see red.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
We're going to shake down the heavens.
We're going to shout it out.
Let me hear you shout.
So if you want it, and if you need it,
and you won't back down, if you believe it,
then you've got to shout out, scream it loud.
Friends, we're going to shout it out.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
[applause]
Rochelle saved Trinity last week with her callback card.
What do you think?
Well, honey, you brought the sass to the table.
You know--
[cheering, applause]
--I mean, if I could just go like this and throw my--
I just want to go, take it.
Put it on.
You deserve it.
You are the epitome of strength and power.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I don't have anything to say.
[excited scream]
That's a first.
Now, JoJolicious, as far as the performance goes,
I don't want to say that hip hop's not your thing.
I feel like hip hop is your thing.
It just might not have been good next to Trinity
because she left Earth.
This routine you should have killed.
JoJo, that front walk over that you did,
your arms weren't by your ears.
Your head wasn't the last thing to come up.
You were a beat behind once again.
This week, the performance week was made for you.
When you do your solo, you're a star but not
standing next to Trinity.
Choosing this duet and then throwing the diva chain to
Trinity was not a smart choice.
I don't know what you were thinking.
Yeah, that was the dumbest move she could have made.
Jess should have never listened to her nine-year-old.
I would have been like, you're doing the solo.
That's it. - I would have said that, too.
Honestly, it kind of sucks when Abby has nothing
bad to say about Trinity, and she has
nothing good to say about me.
But you know what, Trinity may have danced better than me,
but I know I'm a good dancer.
[sobbing]
Trinity--
after almost going home last week,
you have proved that you are a contender
for Abby's Ultimate Dancer.
Go see your mom.
[applause, cheering]
All right, down to two.
Can you two moms please come join?
Thank you.
Both of you started out day one as divas.
JoJo, your buddy here handed the diva chain off to you.
I think doing a duet with Trinity was a mistake.
We wanted to see you come out and wow us.
That was a mess.
One of you is going home tonight.
Kalani--
you've got one more week, kiddo.
Oh, my god.
JoJo, today is not your day.
It's OK.
[crying]
[applause]
You know, all I really would like to say to you is,
thank you for this experience.
Thank you for having me here.
I'm nine years old, and I'm in the Top Five
at Abby's Ultimate Competition, which is huge for me.
It's a great attitude.
She continues to impress.
Standing ovation.
[applause]
(CRYING) I don't want you to leave.
I don't want to either.
I have to.
[sniffling]
JoJo and Kalani, they're best friends here.
So Kalani is devastated.
Let's go home.
OK.
Let's go home.
