- Kendall is
JoJo's working on her solo, Nia is learning JoJo's routine,
and Brynn is learning her routine as well.
I don't want them sitting.
Those days are over.
Very nice. Very good.
That's great.
What'll happen if the other kid
does the solo better than the kid
that's supposed to be doing it?
This season, dance comes first before anything else.
I want my girls training every minute that they're
not learning choreography.
If Brynn and Nia can learn their solos faster
and better than JoJo and Kendall, then maybe
I have new soloists.
Stars don't rest.
Stars rise.
Watch, that foot's working weird.
And, you know, last week at the competition, she did a solo,
and the judges said you didn't invite the audience in.
There was no connection.
So that's why I'm saying all eyes on me.
I went them up.
I went looking.
WOMAN: Yeah Now we got to make them look.
You've got to make them look.
Right.
All right, let me see Kendall do it.
Yeah. [music playing]
Ha, nice.
Ha, and head.
Whoa. - You know what?
I love Kendall doing a sassy jazz number.
They don't always come out on top,
but it shows her versatility and her flexibility as a performer.
WOMAN: I'm really happy she's having Brynn learn the solo.
She's really good at this style, and I think, I don't know.
Here it comes. Go ahead.
She's the best at it.
It's gonna show-- it's gonna show a side of Brynn that
you guys don't think she has.
She didn't give Brynn a solo.
You heard what she just said, though.
What happens when the other kid does it better?
WOMAN: She didn't give her a solo.
Abby just said that just to get people like riled up.
Kendall's solo is Kendall's solo.
JoJo's solo is JoJo's solo.
No one's taking anybody's solo.
That's like crazy.
Teammates don't do that.
Abby, I was just curious as to why Kendall
has a solo and not Brynn when she did pretty well
the first week that we came?
She did great.
WOMAN: I know she really wants another one.
All right, well she's in there learning one now.
Maybe she'll do it better than Kendall.
She can do this one.
OK.
All right, let's see what we have.
I can't stand Ashlee thinking Bryn is the next Maddie.
Kendall K has been groomed to be the next star.
There's a pecking order here at the ALDC, and sister,
you're on the bottom.
I'm not going to sit here and let you take away
everything we've worked for.
Not today, Satan.
WOMAN: I think Bryn should be dancing
behind Kendall, not in her way. Just saying.
I think she thinks she's off to the side, honestly.
WOMAN: Well--
She's dancing up by the teacher.
I think she just thinks she's off to the side.
She should be in the back, out of Kendall's way.
Look. Here goes Kendall.
Brynn's right in front of her. - Look at her.
Why doesn't she just move and like Kendall like dance?
Go sit down where Kendall sat.
It's wrong.
WOMAN: Look at what Nia's doing.
Nia is off in the corner.
WOMAN: Nia can't even see herself in the mirror.
Is Abby and the choreographer both in there?
Yes.
If there was a problem, they would tell her,
don't you think?
I think so.
I think if Brynn had a brain in her head,
she would know to back off.
Do not call my child stupid. WOMAN: --brain in her head.
If she had a brain in her head--
I don't have to sit here and listen to you bash my kid.
Bye.
I am getting no end of hate because Brynn is in the front
instead of being in the back.
If they wanted her to move, you guys would tell her,
am I right? - That's right.
Thank you very much.
Abby, this is Kendall's solo, not Brynn's, am I right?
ABBY LEE: Yes.
OK, so why is Brynn on Kendall's side in her way
when she's trying to dance?
Making a mockery of her?
Jill, she wasn't making a mockery of anyone.
That's very vindictive.
She wasn't doing that.
OK, wait.
I just want to get this straight.
Do you want Brynn to do this solo?
ABBY LEE: Jill--
You're going to stick up for Brynn.
I'm sticking up for the child that's
in the room that's helping.
Are you kidding me?
You never trained that kid.
You never taught her a [bleep] thing.
Why can't Kendall just open her own mouth and say,
you're in my way. Move.
Why can't Brynn have a brain and sit in the back?
The real reason that Jill is angry
is that Kendall has invested five years into this team,
and doesn't have a whole lot to show for it.
And Jill feels like Brynn coming here
is going to take away from Kendall.
The reality is, maybe Kendall already had her shot.
Brynn, this has nothing to do with you,
but you need to learn when the kids are learning their solos,
you stay out of their way.
I know, but I wasn't dancing in front of her.
Honey, don't talk back to a grown-up, just say,
OK, I'll stay out of her way. Got it?
Are you guys yelling at Brynn? WOMAN: Now.
Are you yelling at Brynn?
Go ask your kid what I said.
MACKENZIE: You can't yell at a kid like that.
Who was yelling at you? What happened?
- Jill was yelling. - Why, what did she say?
Because she said it was dancing in front of Kendall,
and I wasn't.
She said you don't talk back to a grown-up,
and I wasn't even dancing in front of her.
I know.
Kenzie, come here. Come here.
What is wrong with you?
