day one of our la adventure we get to the studio we're not a single foot in the door
and abby already is throwing a tantrum i walked in and there was a dance class going
on with a teacher she can't go in the studio she's having a temper tantrum she storms out
the kids are left here high and dry is this what we came all the way out here for abby can have
temper tantrums back in pittsburgh where is abby just running around doing things so abby did not
show up to rehearsals at all this week are you coming actually there's some stuff happening
oh you might be flying home tonight yes she's basically has abandoned the team we arrive in
la and abby is gone i left everything at home all of us did our family our friends our studio
we followed abby's dream we came all the way out here to make things happen
and abby couldn't even show up abby gave me one solo and it's gonna go to maddie
you know it's awesome that i got a solo but abby has still not shown up
and i'm starting to get worried one two love god's creatures it is
i'm walking down the street you're homeless you're asking me to help you
okay i'm not helping you so you you react to it maddie solo is about the plight of a child
living on the streets maddie's really good at the acting portion of her solos
even though abby's not there my maddie's a perfectionist and she wants
everything to be perfect i hope it's good enough to beat these amazing kids in la
you have to be on your a game today okay you guys are all soldiers you know how it works so
talia i need to know that you're gonna be able to battle whatever comes in front of you maddie's
done a lot of amazing things she just wouldn't see his video and here you are you've been in
the limelight for so many years and this is all the things that she's getting when i consider you
a stronger dancer this is your time to show the world that she's not the only one like that this
weekend i've chosen talia to do a solo and push leg up squeeze your glutes do not let that leg
drop spot sharper she is one of my most consistent dancers she trains 20 to 25 hours every single
week killing herself in the studio your face was gorgeous i could see your eyes you were performing
talia hasn't competed against maddie but talia is a stronger dancer she's a stronger competitor
and she's been in la competing for years talia is going to win
okay come on walk towards the door kids are not going to come out i i want to see how
soon are they running i brought my makeup and everything to do i just did her costume
all morning i appreciate you your hard work and you know we love when you're here and i don't
like when you're not here so i just want to tell you that it is quite bizarre
behavior for abby to act like this i am a little worried i think that of course maddie is nervous
la is one of the hardest places to compete this is talia performing letting go
the little girl paulia was amazing i don't know i'm speechless
please welcome to this stage this is maddie performing all god's creatures
among all of god's creatures it is only men who kill
with the venom strong enough to melt the fool upon the hill who is eager just to watch and offer
as he slips into the liquid of his own self-sacrifice
it is only a man who sees upon friendship and devotion as if they were a dizzy
never wondering why the heart is
it is only a man who cry and one day when i'm ancient i will look at you inside as i sink into
the places where i'll wish i could have been as i slip beneath the surface of your soft and ring
maddie was completely flawless i just hope it was good enough to win
all right first and foremost we have overall solos for the entire day is second place
entry number 24 with fragile forest
and in first place we've got
entry number 26 maddie with all god's creatures
maddie got a perfect score and talia didn't make it in the top five
you
