this week we're traveling to washington dc to attend believe dance competition now we
have two group routines jade this week you will be dancing with the abby lee originals
chloe take a step over here
wherever missabe needs us to go we have to go i think it'll be a little bit easier if
i don't say anything about it if i just go with the flow and do what i need to do the select team
will be performing a period piece called first ladies your style is lyrical my elite team is
doing a contemporary piece called america gone it's a twist on our country tis of thee walking
one two three five the select team is doing a piece entitled first ladies now this is more of
a period piece the girls look so elegant they're classy they're everything you think of when you
think about a first lady aren't you guys sad that you don't have laurie jay it's amazing jay doesn't
change it's crazy i think it's a good trade-off because we have we have chloe we have ellie
but having chloe on your team is not a benefit because abby doesn't like to see her succeed as
soon as she put chloe on that team and kept maddie and jade on the other team that means that this
team is supposed to lose they have no idea what abby is really like but they're about to find out
the junior elite competition team is doing a very important piece this week it's called america
gone now america has always been the country yet with hard work and determination you can
live the american dream but are kids these days working hard or do they just expect everything to
be handed to them nationals are right around the corner my junior elite competition team has lost
twice to the new select kids what are they waiting for are they gonna step it up or will they be o
for three i actually think your dance has some interesting parts to it that you don't always see
i agree that one that back then thing that's cool like that's a moment that you go oh that's pretty
oh i like that you've never seen us do that that's cause jade's in the dance and chloe's not plush
how do you feel about being on that team you know what i sit with you [ __ ] every week i can sit
with those [ __ ] this week the glass is always half empty with christy she should keep in mind
that abby just moved chloe to the winning team and the only other kid she's done that for is maddie
i'm sorry i think i have to stand on the side i i do i have to and we need lori over here
now laura's going to stay right here today oh dinner i don't know what rhyme or reason lori
has in her thinking of being on the elite team if i was in her situation i would have wanted to come
back with my old team we've won every time we've gone up against them and i don't think she made
that decision wisely after last night when jade and i went back to the hotel and yeah everyone
was you came in here and talked to us yeah faken really surprisingly are you serious the fact that
abby put jade on the old team drives them crazy i never seen the sign of you lori yeah me either
you did not give me the benefit of the doubt like i expected i need to sit down with you and talk
with you i love both teams and i feel like i'm friends with both teams but you liked us better
we said from the very beginning is once abby's holding people down
your tensions will rise and then your friendships will start to frazzle i was a big happy family
until that happened exactly it's easy to get along when everything's going your way tammy and
jeannette are both acting like i'm the traitor when i have absolutely nothing to do with who
my child dances with that's up to abby okay well we're gonna leave and go watch our kids rehearse
all right have a nice day i'm gonna go in for a few minutes in chitchat yeah but i'm not a spy all
right okay you guys didn't really say anything all that interesting up there anyway sorry
hello we're going to this lunch because i kind of feel like the select team is against me and i
want to explain to them if the select moms were in my position they'd do the exact same thing as me
well thank you for coming i appreciate it we're a little surprised to see your friends we thought
it was just gonna be us we're all shocked that melissa and joe are there because we're thinking
that lori invited us and we're gonna sit and talk like we used to do and she brought back up for no
reason she doesn't need backup we're her friends the problem is that yeah i want to be on your team
but oh yeah i want to be on your team the the untruthfulness that's where i have a problem
that's not untruthful i want her with you guys she loves being with you guys i want her with me
but you have to understand that that makes us feel uncomfortable are you kidding me it was like a
smack in the face it was if any of your kids were asked to come on our team you're not gonna say no
you can't sit there and say you would not let tia dance with these kids everyone wants a
piece of the elite team and if they say they don't they're liars see you guys later well that wasn't
what we thought it was going to be not what we thought it was going to be nothing is cleared up
ladies i've been thinking about nationals i have to see what everybody does on stage
today we're going to nationals to win and i need to put the best dancers on that stage
today might be the most important group performance that chloe has had in a long time
because if she doesn't go out there and nail this abby's gonna blame her
please
it's okay to feel lonely
and cry when you think about life
allow your body time to repair
give it up i won't give it
let me lift you when you fall you just have to make
keep your chin up and
in my eyes
after all of christie's moping and complaining all week i thought their dance was lovely and
chloe looked great but our dance will be better all right ladies and gentlemen next
up on our believe stage please welcome entry number 42 this is america gone
so my concrete is of the sweet land of liberty of the i see
land where my fathers died land of the buildings bright from every amount inside let freedom ring
america
america where are you
have you
gone
both groups had great performances all the kids look great in their costumes this is
gonna be a tight race ladies and gentlemen it doesn't get any closer than this one
tenth of a point separates the difference between our second place winner and first place
ladies and gentlemen second place 9-11 regional small group champion will win
america gone number 42. and now ladies and gentlemen your overall 9-11 small group
regional champion today will be first ladies entry number 41.
i can't believe you've gone up against the select team three times and we've lost all three times
things obviously are not looking good for us for nationals tia would you like to stay this week yes
you will report to the studio on monday tia so will you deal oh wait when i was here you
called me a trader when i did that i think we all did we didn't tammy you said at lunch
you'd never do that you're only gonna stay with the select team who's the trader now you
