My next duet is going to JoJo and Brynn.
[applause]
The name of the routine is Mirror Image.
It is contemporary, and you will be mirroring each other.
Jess and I don't have the best history of getting along.
So in order for this duet to do well,
Jess and I really have to make sure
that there's just peace and harmony
and everybody is singing kumbaya.
You're doing a piece called Mirror Image.
The audience has to see a mirror.
Make the movements match each other.
So your leg is going to match her leg when it's up
and vise versa.
So we need something to be high as far as the leg.
Now go.
Cross.
Yes, that's better.
All right, go.
[music playing]
Brynn and JoJo don't really dance alike.
That's why I'm challenging them to this.
JoJo has a great personality.
She just needs to work on that technique.
And Brynn has great technique, but she
needs to make sure those judges get her facial expression.
She doesn't dance big enough like a JoJo dancer.
(SINGING) Sooner than later.
This is Brynn and JoJo's first duet ever.
Yeah.
That's a good plot twist.
No, I think it'll be good for them.
I feel it will be good for us.
Yeah.
It will probably-- I mean, there's
always a time on every team when you have to work
with everybody on the team.
It's the first time we've had to do it.
It is no secret that Jess is not my favorite person.
You stood there and mocked her for crying.
Keep your big, fat nose away from her, bitch.
But I am here for Brynn, and it's important this duet goes
well, and I really have to, for Brynn, bite my tongue,
not let Jess get on my nerves, and try not to make waves.
I guess we'll see if that's going to happen or not.
But if JoJo and Brynn are supposed to be mirror images
of each other, I'm really worried
that JoJo's technique is not going to be
up to par to match Brynn's.
I think she wants Jess and I to find a way to live in peace
and harmony on this team, and she thought
this was the best way to do it.
[laughter]
I know.
Abby does not like peace and harmony,
and she doesn't live in a peaceful mind.
I think she put her biggest cheerleader and her biggest
naysayer in a dance together.
That does make sense.
That makes more sense.
Yes. She wants to sit--
I was joking.
--back with her Coke and her popcorn
and watch the fireworks.
This is entertainment for her to see how you two are going
to handle this week and see how her new beginnings is
going to be tested here.
All right, girls, let's go.
Come on.
Move it out.
Girls, you're Mirror Image.
So it has to be in unison.
Hopefully when you work together this week
you learn from each other, and hopefully your mothers
learned that it's better to work together than to work
against each other.
That's a waste of energy.
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome to the stage
entry number 81, Mirror Image.
[music playing]
(SINGING) Sooner than later we'll finally
awake Sooner than later.
Look in the mirror.
Ripples my weary soul.
[inaudible] to eternity.
I [inaudible] and to eternity.
When [inaudible],, watch to the sea.
[applause]
Oh, that was fun.
ANNOUNCER: So let's get ready for our three-team duet.
I have to give it to Abby.
Our dances are good this week.
You know, we want the girls to continue
to get difficult, new, creative choreography.
And if these girls don't bring home a win,
Abby might not do that anymore.
You know, we might get washed-up routines
that Abby did 10 years ago.
Second place, entry number 56, I Won't Let Go.
In first place, entry number 81, Mirror Image.
[applause]
Brynn and JoJo winning the category is great.
And you know, watching our kids become friends,
it definitely inspires the mothers to get along.
New beginnings.
It's just new beginnings.
