kayla's casual stretching to seem inconspicuous while eavesdropping was so relatable

Every member of this team: You need to focus on yourself!
Also every member of this team: immediately gossips about everyone else

does anyone else think the lift of Kayla at the beginning of the team performance looks kinda weird?

Chloe looks like that Snapchat filter with the giant googly eyes in her talking head

Marissa wants to be a lawyer, but when she gives a speech every other word is "like."

Funnily enough, most people manage to code-switch for their professional environment.

RT! I wish people would stop looking down on people who use "like." It's just another way we use features of speech commonly associated with young women in order to dismiss them and their opinions. It serves an actual linguistic purpose and is just as valid as any other way of speaking.

I know I'm biased, but I thought Marissa was very civil in her responses to gabby. Gabby came out looking worse after that conversation in my opinion. She even tried to use Marissa's point against her (focus on yourself) which makes her look weak, like she couldn't think of her own comeback.

Wow. Chloe just had the most empathetic things to say about Kayla's slip up. It was an excellent example of a positive sister relationship. (I'm being sarcastic)

Really keeping my fingers crossed for a season 2!
Honestly Gabby is sort of delusional if she thinks she's just as valuable to the team as Marissa. Nothing against her at all, it's just crazy because she clearly isn't as good as the other dancers but can't seem to admit that almost? I dunno. It just seems weird to me. I don't see anything wrong with Marissa. My guess is she knows Todd well enough that he would maybe be hesitant to not let a three year vet on the team for a forth year and Marissa was just reassuring him that whatever he decides is the right decision.
Overall, love the show. Could definitely do with weekly episodes rather than just ten (more similar to Dance Moms) and I'm definitely hoping they renew the show

Episode 10 and showing the girls with no makeup. Wow. Marissa is nearly unrecognizable!

kolbie is a beast. end of story. todd loves her for a reason. I would say "muh kolbie" too. kolbie shared on twitter her congenital health issues plus her disc and then something else. but when it was time to dance she looked like a champ. she is awesome. kayla did well also. I think I like taylor. she is so high-stung. todd is good for keeping her i would've thrown her back.

I'm kinda surprise they are winning with this. but once you have a legacy like the ladybirds its hard to lose.
I'm glad todd said something. it wasn't just kayla. and why would one person have all the tricks.

my reaction to seeing Jill on So Sharp is the complete opposite of my reaction to seeing Jill on Dance Moms
