Rose Leniha. As a kid I always took things with a grain of salt. However I always thought that reality tv was real until I started pausing scene and diving into behind the scenes. Then I realized how fake everything was. Instead of calling it reality TV just call it a TV show. If you want to entertain that’s fine but make sure your being honest with your audience. I still like dance moms but I’m finding harder and harder to find real moments vs staged/scripted moments
It s really shocking, If you realize, that everything is not really how they show it to us in TV, in the News or even on RUclips. Just never believe anything you See or read in media. Watch/read it and then do your own researche in it. Or Don t researche it, but then know, that s not has to be true, only because someone in the News f.e. said it.
I really don’t understand why Abby expects every single family with kids who want to dance to come to the Abby Lee dance company a lot of parents just put there kids into dance to find something to do once or twice a week, make friends or just get some exercise not all children want to become dance stars. Maybe they choose that they want to get more serious as they grow and then they choose to go to Abby Lee but you can’t hold it against them if they didn’t choose to go into her studio in the first place. You can see it in the first few series when Brooke and Paige didn’t want to be stars and Kelly didn’t want them to be famous but Abby kept forcing them into it.
Also, Pennsylvania is kind of a huge state. It’s ridiculous to expect someone to drive long distance to a dance studio when an equally nice and probably more fostering studio is closer
@Arunma Mokolo But Kelly, Brooke and Paige maybe they wouldn't have left if Abby had treat them better... They wanted to leave because Abby wasn't treating Brook and Paige well.
Rebecca Harber 7 it’s not that she expects absolutely everyone to come to her, it is just probably annoying that people who live super close to the studio and attend a competitor studio and then expect Abby to suddenly be invested in them and get them famous. Think about it like this: imagine you get famous and then someone who has never talked to you, actively avoided hanging out with you, and never seemed interested in you suddenly wants to hang out with you and asked you to shout them out so they can get more popular or wants you to take them to special events even though they have never hung out with you before. That is what it is like. If you want Abby to make you famous, train at her studio if you are close enough and work hard, or train at the best place you can and work hard to get noticed by her.
I don't even think a bus studio rescue lasted that long and raising Asia was just more of kristtie being a bitch to Asia and showing that she didn't truly care about Asia
I have a theory that these shows especially Dance Moms and Raising Asia knew that the risque dances would attract creeps so they did it to boost ratings
I think the producers need to realise that a lot of the fans like the mums like Holly who are nicer and don't constantly stir the pot and that people out there might actually want to watch a dance show for the actual dancing Side note: this is a drama show but a lot of the drama today is repetitive and boring to watch like the mums phasing out Michelle and always hating on Brady. I miss the earlier days when it felt more real and like more was at stake.
i have a feeling that producers added in the callback cards in season 2 as a way to not only bring back dancers who were eliminated and create more suspense for the season, but also as a way for them to create more drama. regardless of who the card was used on it would create drama bc it means that the kid has more pressure on them but it also gives the moms more reason to fight each other. even if the mom wasn’t generally a person who created drama (like kira), it created drama since abby said she wouldn’t use the card but then used it to bring kalani back. this also furthered the narrative that kalani was abbys favorite and received special treatment. while i believe that abby genuinely wanted kalani back in the competition, i think the producers saw it a great opportunity to stir up some drama. i def could be wrong, but it’s just some food for thought
i totally agree. the call back card was an un-needed thing to add to the show, i feel like it was totally just for drama. abbys the first to say no second chances, so i feel that abby had little say in the call back card adding onto the show.
@@eagann92 I'm unsure how that negates my comment. In order to come up with these scenarios, the producers have to be a little sadistic. I wouldn't ever feel comfortable putting actual children in situations that would psychologically scar them.

@@SmittenKitten. exactly! Not to mention how screwed up it is to be DISAPPOINTED when people get along.... They were disappointed that the girls in dance moms were such good friends, and excited when Chloe and Maddie drama happened. Two girls' friendship of so many years was shattered, and it seems intentionally done by producers. Even if they weren't pulling so many strings behind the scenes, just think about it from the perspective of editing... There are grown adults who deliberately edit little girls/children to make them look bratty or stuck up or otherwise portray them in a bad light... I can't imagine sitting there with hour after hour of footage of children's lives and sitting down to edit it, and searching to find the clips that make them look the worst or otherwise fit into my "storyline" for their "character"... Just think about how many hours of footage they had for pyramid on dance moms, and how they decided to show clips of Brooke looking unhappy, or how even in this show (AUDC), they seem to show girl's reactions back stage that likely are out of context...even if the clips that make children look unfavorable AREN'T taken out of context, they STILL choosing to show some very unflattering footage of children's lives! Like, I think the one girl, Elisabeth, was the one who was crying and saying very upset things *backstage/in her dressing room* TO HER *MOM* after getting eliminated, and sure, that seems to be what happened in reality, but not only did they choose to follow her with the camera (which I'm pretty sure they didn't do with any of others, at least not in courage they showed), but they choose to use that footage! They had tons of hours that needed to be condensed into a 45 minute show, and had to decide the most essential parts of that footage to show, and they decided to show a girl totally heartbroken, saying stuff TO HER MOM, sobbing hysterically... I can't fathom why it would be ok to show children in unfavorable light, regardless of if they have moments that aren't ideal... Everyone has those moments, most of just don't have them captured by camera, and certainly not as children! So even if, for example, if [totally blanking on the girl's name who came for a week on dance moms and was told she'd dance with the ellites but got out on the mini team... I knew her name till I was ready to type it and now I wanna say Harlie Quinn Hahaha.... That's not it thought hehehe... Hailey? Still wrong... This is gonna bug me! :) ]... But just, imagining how *I* would feel if I were tasked with editing dance moms footage, even if I saw a bunch of footage that showed that Hailey (?) WAS frequently acting bratty, and Brooke WAS usually sulking and acting like a grumpy teenager, or Payton thinking that she was better than everyone else... It would seem really horrible for me to choose to show those girls seeming bratty, moody, or snobby, because that's how they'd be seen, and maybe if it just happened sometimes that the whole time during pyramid, brooke was looking grumpy (or at least all the use able footage), then sure, it might end up that she's seen looking unethusiastic, but it would seem pretty mean to choose to show a zoom in of her specifically, looking miserable. And if Hailey (I know that's not the right name, maybe, idk) but if she DID come in and was upset about having to dance with the minis, maybe I'd use footage of the mini's rehearing where she's not smiling like everyone else or something, but I wouldn't choose footage focusing on her specifically unless it was with her shown in favorable or neutral light. I'd know that people will believe what they see, and it would seem exploitative to showcase the flaws of a CHILD! If Payton HAD said that she thought she was better than the rest of the girls (she didn't, she'd been asked how she felt their *group* did against other groups), but that wouldn't be something that would feel ok to show to the world even if it HAD gone down that way! It just bothers me, it bugs me that people who have never met these children will genuinely say they hate one of them or that they are a brat etc... Children should be protected. I get that it's "reality TV" and that "people watch it for the drama" (I personally hate the drama, I like the dance), but even still, it's one thing to do that with consenting adults, but there's no reason to choose to show children in poor light. It would be one thing if Elisabeth had an emotional meltdown *on the stage, while they were still filming everyone*, since it might be hard to edit around if someone were screaming and sobbing as they got eliminated, but they intentionally got all of her upset on camera after she'd walked off the stage, and they not only got the footage but they chose to use the footage, too, and I don't think they even showed her again after that clip, so not only did they choose to show that, they didn't even show her calmed down, likely she hugged everyone and wished them well etc, but the last we are shown of her is likely the last thing she'd want ANYONE to see. It's just sad. Yeah, I know they are looking for views and money, but there's just a whole new level of soulless when people decide to mess with children and show them at their lowest.
It doesn’t surprise me that Jojo’s Mom didn’t talk to her about the show before sending in a tape. She’s a show mom and they typically go to any length to get they’re kid famous.
I don’t see an issue with it tbh. Jess probably didn’t even expect JoJo to get in. JoJo wasn’t the most technically advanced dancer. Hess probably just thought it’d be worth a shot. And I’m sure it was a fun surprise for JoJo, since she loved Dance Moms and actually enjoyed being on AUDC.
Now I’m curious about the other spin off Abby’s Studio Rescue. I’m going say that producers made up all that drama as well between the owner and Abby. I don’t know though that series actually seemed real. But I agree this show was probably staged as much as the original series Keep up the good work.
i watched abby’s studio rescue at my dance intensive and it’s so fake my one dance teacher was in one of the episodes and she said it was fake and 90% of the drama was fake and they actually had a good studio and just wanted more clout (idk how to describe it)
Yvette is actually a really sweet lady. I used to live close by her dance studio and my mom was mutual friends with her because she worked at a shop owned by a mom who had a daughter that danced there, and she was close with Yvette. My mom would hear stories all the time about things producers did to incite drama and crazy ways they have edited situations on the show. I also had a friend at school who was on her competition team and had nothing but nice things to say about her.
Yvette seems like such a misrepresented person. She seemed so optimistic and sweet, yet her constant smiling and laughing made people think that she was a fake person.
@@MackZBoss true,i think the producers did that somehow like when she laughed at something bad when she stopped the camera man mustve moved the camera to a diffrent scene idk xD
the thing with gianna not training with abby, she lives in the philadelphia area (or near philly) which if you don’t know is on the other side of pennsylvania which can be between a 4-6 hour drive. so you expect her do go to your studio while living that far away. people really do underestimate the size of PA
Oh, I didn't realise! I'm from Western Australia, so every US state seems pretty small to me 😯. It's funny, because I think I recall Abby praising Pressley on her instagram saying that she drove over four hours to take class at the ALDC. I certainly hope Abby doesn't expect other students to show that much commitment.
MackZBoss oh it’s all good. i’m in the us and i live in the same state that presley and gia live in. i have driven a few times from when i live to pittsburgh for three different wedding and it’s been so long. philadelphia is right on the border of nj and pa on the east side and pittsburgh is thirty ish minutes away from ohio to the west. presley must be really committed because driving to abby’s from northern new jersey is really far.
EXACTLY!! I live in the Philadelphia area and going straight to the Pittsburgh studio from my house would take me over 4 hours. No WAY would I drive that far every day just to take classes w/Abby if I wasn’t on the show
Can you make a conspiracy about Abby and Kelly’s relationship when Kelly was younger and how it contributed to how Abby treated Brooke and Paige? Edit: OMG I DID NOT EXPECT THE LIKES!!!
Panic_Potato * that’s not the reason she dislikes kelly though. kelly danced at the studio and ended up quitting at a young age and that was assumed to leave a bad taste in abby’s mouth.
My question is, why does Abby need so many shows for herself? I don’t think anyone even watches Abby’s studio rescue! And she puts the cast against each other in solos, so why would she need basically another competition that costs more money???
Abby is the most money-hungry person I know, without wanting take any risk: three shows, everyone in Pennsylvania has to go to her studio, all the aldc girls has to have her as manager, all the merchandise must be under ALDC... But she sent her girl only to fake competitions because she was not able to make her studio the best in the U.S.A by herself, or maybe she was able but she didn't want to work on it. And, as it that weren't enough, instead of training her students, she always picked other studio's girls to pretend that her team was the best because of her.
Production sent them to staged invitationals a lot, later in the show, because the team had gotten banned from a lot of comps, after they had broken the rules by portraying one kid as beating another, when they actually both won their own age divisions.
I grew up with jojo in Nebraska. Jess has ALWAYS been pushing jojo since day 1 for her to be famous. It was always her life goal for Jojo. Therefore, it doesn’t shock me at all that she didn’t ask before sending in the tape. Jess is living through jojo
OMG now i just realised how fake this show was (I am not saying everything about this show is fake I’m just saying that sometimes it can be a bit fake. Of course there are some really nice moments that are amazing and I respect that)
amelia rose But 5:08 that was not fake and im not being rude or anything i just found that moment so heart warming didnt u The part wher he walked her in
One of the most unfair eliminations for me(outside of zack) has to be Jordyn. Her dance was the best from all of them (in my opinion) Amazing video again,showing the truth as it is
More requests: Dance Moms: Miami Abby’s Studio Rescue Dance Mums UK Chaos at Season 4 Nationals Is Abby Lee Miller the real villain on Dance Moms Thank you so much ☺️
When Zach got eliminated in season 1, thats when i realized how fake AUDC was. His improv and turns during the elimination dance off were SIGNIFICANTLY better than Elizabeth's. Her turns were fine, but she didn't improv, like, at all. She walked off stage and waved at the judges
Love X Esmay not everyone watches for the dancing though. the drama will make you wanna see what happens next and stuff like that, hence why it’s there. if there was no drama, the show wouldn’t have made it this many seasons.
Just like loads of the comments I see, I'm always very excited when you release an episode in this series and can't believe I'm in this early! Also can't believe how I never thought twice about the editing, stress, abuse and low key racism these kids/mums faced when I would watch the show when I was younger.
I think at the end of the day they do want to let the kids with the most talent win. That’s why 3/4 top contestants were relatively skilled dancers. However it’s also obvious that the dramafrogs with less skill make it through more than they should.
Gianna Newborg on AUDC was actually my favorite from the show! She's now a dancer for the NY Knicks and I was able to watch her dance at a game at Madison Square Garden :)
Psych tests are VERY common with reality shows. I'm pretty sure they're mandatory to some degree, although I'm not certain if it's competition shows only, or if non-competitive (i.e. Dance Moms) require it. Asia was almost certainly not the only contestant who was given a test. The reason they're done almost all the time is less to protect the contestants and more to protect the show from liabilities, to say they did their due diligence before casting in case someone sues them. HOWEVER, the biggest problem with these tests is that they're actually too general and too easy. There's not a lot of regulation around them. Some reality show contestants report that it is very easy to fool the tests and tell them what they think they want to hear. They fail to truly account for everything a person will experience. Again, I'm not sure if they're mandatory for docu-style, but they are for competition shows. The problem is that they're designed to protect the show/prodco, not the contestants.
Hi, I love your videos. Maybe it’s just me because English isn’t my first language - i’m French - but I can’t hear your voice that well because of the background music, it’s a tiny bit too loud. But as always, thanks for all these informations. Love how well-constructed your videos are! X
You can write pretty good English though. I started learning French this year-in school- and I can'rpt write what you wrote in French. And yes, I like French class. It is my favorite subject.
Gianna was one of the best in season 2. Her mom wasn’t that bad. She was saying what the producers wanted her to and also just being honest a lot of the time.
YAY I'M ACTUALLY EARLY!!!!!!!! u know what crazy tho i just finished binging this show. i watched all of dance moms except season 8 and then i started watching season 1 of audc and then i got bored so i skipped to season 2 of audc cause i wanted to see kalani and jojo
@@holliejackson8453 I watch it on Dailymotion. It's a free website and they have all the episodes there. (You don't need an account either, just look up the episode + Dailymotion and it'll be there).
Hi I'm sooo early I love ur vids. I heard something on tik tok which could be useful for you! This girl posted syaing that when she was younger she got casted in candy apples for one episode but she was never on the team before.
Good video ideas I would like to see: Abby and Kelly relationship when Kelly was little Abby’s other spin off Abby studio something Savanna and season 8 (I don’t think she was ever on the team) And Ashlee, Brynn and the other moms relationship
What I don’t understand is why can’t we let talent speak for itself? I understand ppl like the drama and it’s good for views and money, but we’re losing focus as to what it’s really about which is DANCE! this is so stupid and fabricated it makes me sick
Because then people wouldn't watch as much. These TV shows are designed to make money. Most people don't know about dance and will believe whatever the judges say- which is based on what the producers want.
Please make one about how the original 6 ALDC members made it on the show! How old were they when they first trained with Abby, when did they join the show, did they have any history with Abby?!
I have been watching this series since day one and it gives me a whole different perspective of Dance Moms that I never knew. Thank you for making this series and keeping me entertained during this time. I just had to get it out there.
I remember watching this at 2:am lol😅.I literally love your videos and I watched all the dance moms uncovered videos and now I’m binge watching all the vids lol!
I just finished watching season 2 today! The theories were very interesting to see. One thing I never understood was that nobody commented on Travis/ Tyler's abilities in season 2. Although they were good, I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did (and none of the moms pointed out their lack of technique or performance). I think that Zack had better technique and performance quality than both of them yet he was eliminated very early in the competition (I know he was up against different dancers, but he should have stayed longer).
can you make another video about abbys other spin off show Abbys Studio Rescue? the drama seemed real but i thought that about dance moms so it would be interesting to see if her other show is the same
Just wondering, wasn't it also a rumor where Asia won but announced it to early so they changed the outcome? and didn't Gianna say that she was the only one who got there through the actual open call auditions everyone else had a manager or agent that put them on the show?
Thank you very much for ALL the hard work you put into your video's! I really appreciate it. I find your content extremely interesting and entertaining.
Just interesting to point out that along with Yvette joining the main show, Gianna mentioned in her main video about AUDC that she kept getting offers to do things for Dance Moms as well. Thought it was interesting that at least two of the "villians" were contacted afterwards to join Dance Moms
I realized that in Scary Sweetheart S7 many things happen.... First of all, the mums "attacking" Brynn. BUT the thing that caught my eye, is after the WHOLE competition, in the dressing room, Brynn (and everyone else) are wearing the group dance costumes. BUT when they ask Brynn and Yadie what happened backstage, they are both wearing their scary sweetheart costumes... Like WHAT??
i was always so confused about why zach got eliminated when elizabeth literally just did a bunch of walking and posing other than the first set of turns and he actually danced and was really good. i thought for sure elizabeth was going home and tbh i kinda didn’t like her bc of all of her temper tantrums and tears as a thirteen year old, like come on when you’re crying more than an actual six year old you know somethings wrong. also she definitely was using her parents divorce to their advantage. you can tell when other people are talking about their hardships, it’s genuine. but for her i couldn’t honestly say she wasn’t using it as an excuse.
Omg yes! When I watched that episode I was like Elizabeth FOR SURE is going home, her combo sucked. I also believe that she really milked the divorce too. Like I understand it's traumatizing and life-altering, but unfortunately, she's not the first kid who's had to deal with their parents' divorce. And it seemed like every time she didn't do very well it was "well my parents are getting a divorce so I'm depressed and that's why I didn't dance well" excuse.
There was also something about how Abby announced another contestant was leaving the week Kalani should have gone so she was really shocked but then they had to reshoot the scene as Abby had announced the wrong dancer to go home!
I loved Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition! Wish it ran for more than two seasons! I honestly would've taken a third season of this show than a season of Abby's Studio Rescue!
Its honestly scary how much I didn't realise was fake!

Why do I always run into other people in the fandom
@Hyland Rumfallo why
xD
Why
It’s messed up that they would just keep the kids who’s parents caused the most fake drama.
Persephone Emmert It's insane how the craziest parents are rewarded the most.
Because it's an entertainment show before it is a dance show
But I think f.e. Gianna really was one of the best, so it s really not ONLY because of her mother.

I really don’t understand why Abby expects every single family with kids who want to dance to come to the Abby Lee dance company a lot of parents just put there kids into dance to find something to do once or twice a week, make friends or just get some exercise not all children want to become dance stars.

And if Hailey (I know that's not the right name, maybe, idk) but if she DID come in and was upset about having to dance with the minis, maybe I'd use footage of the mini's rehearing where she's not smiling like everyone else or something, but I wouldn't choose footage focusing on her specifically unless it was with her shown in favorable or neutral light. I'd know that people will believe what they see, and it would seem exploitative to showcase the flaws of a CHILD! If Payton HAD said that she thought she was better than the rest of the girls (she didn't, she'd been asked how she felt their *group* did against other groups), but that wouldn't be something that would feel ok to show to the world even if it HAD gone down that way!
It just bothers me, it bugs me that people who have never met these children will genuinely say they hate one of them or that they are a brat etc... Children should be protected.
I get that it's "reality TV" and that "people watch it for the drama" (I personally hate the drama, I like the dance), but even still, it's one thing to do that with consenting adults, but there's no reason to choose to show children in poor light. It would be one thing if Elisabeth had an emotional meltdown *on the stage, while they were still filming everyone*, since it might be hard to edit around if someone were screaming and sobbing as they got eliminated, but they intentionally got all of her upset on camera after she'd walked off the stage, and they not only got the footage but they chose to use the footage, too, and I don't think they even showed her again after that clip, so not only did they choose to show that, they didn't even show her calmed down, likely she hugged everyone and wished them well etc, but the last we are shown of her is likely the last thing she'd want ANYONE to see.
It's just sad. Yeah, I know they are looking for views and money, but there's just a whole new level of soulless when people decide to mess with children and show them at their lowest.

No one:
Not a single soul:
MackZboss: there may have been more to Kelly’s haircut than the producers cared to show.
LOL!
hahahahaha
Haha, maybe I should look into that! 😆
Hhhhaaaaahaha lol wow
@@MackZBoss yes
It doesn’t surprise me that Jojo’s Mom didn’t talk to her about the show before sending in a tape. She’s a show mom and they typically go to any length to get they’re kid famous.
anastasiagirl1342 I know right? Just slimy
I think that she probably didn't even think she'd get in but she should have told jojo
She probably just did it for fun and was "like haha lets see if she gets in"
anastasiagirl1342 idk but maybe jojo wanted to but didn’t know that her mom actually did it
I don’t see an issue with it tbh. Jess probably didn’t even expect JoJo to get in. JoJo wasn’t the most technically advanced dancer. Hess probably just thought it’d be worth a shot. And I’m sure it was a fun surprise for JoJo, since she loved Dance Moms and actually enjoyed being on AUDC.
Now I’m curious about the other spin off Abby’s Studio Rescue. I’m going say that producers made up all that drama as well between the owner and Abby. I don’t know though that series actually seemed real. But I agree this show was probably staged as much as the original series
Keep up the good work.
I was just thinking of this too! I’d love to see what that was all about. It was such a random show lol
Yeah I dont know what the point of that show was. It was just there
It's like the dance Kitchen Nightmares
Daniel Mackowiak i never heard of studio rescue
i watched abby’s studio rescue at my dance intensive and it’s so fake my one dance teacher was in one of the episodes and she said it was fake and 90% of the drama was fake and they actually had a good studio and just wanted more clout (idk how to describe it)
Yvette is actually a really sweet lady. I used to live close by her dance studio and my mom was mutual friends with her because she worked at a shop owned by a mom who had a daughter that danced there, and she was close with Yvette. My mom would hear stories all the time about things producers did to incite drama and crazy ways they have edited situations on the show. I also had a friend at school who was on her competition team and had nothing but nice things to say about her.
Honestly feel like yevette was just trolling for the show, like she put on an act for the drama
Trans girl Activist I agree. Kalani’s mom on Dance Moms seems to be faking too.
Yvette seems like such a misrepresented person. She seemed so optimistic and sweet, yet her constant smiling and laughing made people think that she was a fake person.
@@MackZBoss true,i think the producers did that somehow like when she laughed at something bad when she stopped the camera man mustve moved the camera to a diffrent scene idk xD
Wow, Yvette is nice?!
When kalani got eliminated abby told her "i will see you dance someday" she KNEW that the producers would bring her on dance moms
the thing with gianna not training with abby, she lives in the philadelphia area (or near philly) which if you don’t know is on the other side of pennsylvania which can be between a 4-6 hour drive. so you expect her do go to your studio while living that far away. people really do underestimate the size of PA
Oh, I didn't realise! I'm from Western Australia, so every US state seems pretty small to me 😯. It's funny, because I think I recall Abby praising Pressley on her instagram saying that she drove over four hours to take class at the ALDC. I certainly hope Abby doesn't expect other students to show that much commitment.
MackZBoss oh it’s all good. i’m in the us and i live in the same state that presley and gia live in. i have driven a few times from when i live to pittsburgh for three different wedding and it’s been so long. philadelphia is right on the border of nj and pa on the east side and pittsburgh is thirty ish minutes away from ohio to the west. presley must be really committed because driving to abby’s from northern new jersey is really far.
EXACTLY!! I live in the Philadelphia area and going straight to the Pittsburgh studio from my house would take me over 4 hours. No WAY would I drive that far every day just to take classes w/Abby if I wasn’t on the show
@@catherinemary2098 That's my state too! I also have cousins whose other side of the family lives in Pittsburgh.
This needs to be a Netflix series I swear so much effort are gone into these it's crazy 😳❤️
50k subs without any videos challenge Thank you so much! You're so kind 💕💕
Can you make a conspiracy about Abby and Kelly’s relationship when Kelly was younger and how it contributed to how Abby treated Brooke and Paige?
Edit: OMG I DID NOT EXPECT THE LIKES!!!
iiMxntyLeaf yes
iiMxntyLeaf well basically kelly used to dance at abbys studio when she was younger so Abby just doesn’t like her or her kids
Yesss
Panic_Potato * that’s not the reason she dislikes kelly though. kelly danced at the studio and ended up quitting at a young age and that was assumed to leave a bad taste in abby’s mouth.
Kelly stole some guy from Abby while they were in high school 😂
Am I the only person who liked gianna. I thought she was kind and she didn’t deserve so much hate because people didn’t like her mother.
No I liked gianna
i love gianna!
I loved Gianna she was my fave
I loved Gianna! I couldn't believe she didn't win, her final solo was breathtaking imo
It Stranger things life nope. She was my favorite person on the show (other than dancers)
Obviously the producers didn’t tell the cast that Abby was going to be there ,cause if they did then everyone would have just ran out of there 😂
My question is, why does Abby need so many shows for herself? I don’t think anyone even watches Abby’s studio rescue! And she puts the cast against each other in solos, so why would she need basically another competition that costs more money???
Hayley Byrne! She doesn’t need them lifetime does
Umm actually alot of people liked Abby's studio rescue.
Trans girl Activist I like Abby’s studio rescue more than dance moms and Audc and I kinda wish there had been another season
Alot of people watch it I'm sorry if you don't alot of people have many shows.
Wait? There's a studio rescue?? O.o
Abby is the most money-hungry person I know, without wanting take any risk: three shows, everyone in Pennsylvania has to go to her studio, all the aldc girls has to have her as manager, all the merchandise must be under ALDC... But she sent her girl only to fake competitions because she was not able to make her studio the best in the U.S.A by herself, or maybe she was able but she didn't want to work on it. And, as it that weren't enough, instead of training her students, she always picked other studio's girls to pretend that her team was the best because of her.
Plus im only gonna guess she gets some money drom asias show every time her name gets said
Production sent them to staged invitationals a lot, later in the show, because the team had gotten banned from a lot of comps, after they had broken the rules by portraying one kid as beating another, when they actually both won their own age divisions.
Tbh the producers are rlly mean. They want drama, and it has caused stress on the dancers AND the mothers.
I grew up with jojo in Nebraska. Jess has ALWAYS been pushing jojo since day 1 for her to be famous. It was always her life goal for Jojo. Therefore, it doesn’t shock me at all that she didn’t ask before sending in the tape. Jess is living through jojo
I feel like this show should have been a t.v show with characters and a script rather then a reality show because that would have been more realistic
Cheyenne Cora Ikr? If it was a scripted series with fictional characters, there would be less online hate and the kids wouldn't be as hurt.
OMG now i just realised how fake this show was
(I am not saying everything about this show is fake I’m just saying that sometimes it can be a bit fake. Of course there are some really nice moments that are amazing and I respect that)
amelia rose But 5:08 that was not fake and im not being rude or anything i just found that moment so heart warming didnt u
The part wher he walked her in
Why did I not know this existed...
Welcome. I envy how many unwatched Dance Moms Uncovered vids you have to binge on
Audc or dance moms u covered?
@@Titsoak audc
I found this show so much more compelling and fun to watch than some of the later seasons of Dance Moms
One of the most unfair eliminations for me(outside of zack) has to be Jordyn. Her dance was the best from all of them (in my opinion)
Amazing video again,showing the truth as it is

Thank you so much ☺️
Kaysee Coward Abby is the real villain to me lol
@@bluesmiles5 AND the producers D:
last time i was this early vivianne hoped she could still dance even though she cut her finger
Y is no one talking about what a good detective she is.... I mean KUDOS TO YOU
When Zach got eliminated in season 1, thats when i realized how fake AUDC was. His improv and turns during the elimination dance off were SIGNIFICANTLY better than Elizabeth's. Her turns were fine, but she didn't improv, like, at all. She walked off stage and waved at the judges
Cindy was represented as a villain? She was deadass the funniest person on the show by far 😂
Thx so much for doing these they are so interesting and give so much more info about the show

There was also Raising Asia, Dance Moms: Miami, and Dance Mums
God loves u :)
When will the producers finally understand we don't watch for the drama but actually for the dancing
Love X Esmay not everyone watches for the dancing though. the drama will make you wanna see what happens next and stuff like that, hence why it’s there. if there was no drama, the show wouldn’t have made it this many seasons.
Omg yes. I watched this competition to pretend I was apart of it
If the producers cut out the drama and only kept the dancing. This show wouldn’t be as successful
Haha I was watching old episodes of Dance Moms & Abby’s Ultimate dance competition when I got this notification 😂
absolutely love this series!
Just like loads of the comments I see, I'm always very excited when you release an episode in this series and can't believe I'm in this early! Also can't believe how I never thought twice about the editing, stress, abuse and low key racism these kids/mums faced when I would watch the show when I was younger.
I mean in the second season of AUDC Trinity’s mom didn’t cause much drama at all, but Trinity was in the top 3.
Maybe they only judged her on her talent?? But you’re right, it’s weird
They have to have that one kid that is not dramatic so they don’t look suspicious
Ilsen Leon yeah
I think at the end of the day they do want to let the kids with the most talent win. That’s why 3/4 top contestants were relatively skilled dancers. However it’s also obvious that the dramafrogs with less skill make it through more than they should.
maybe because trinity won so many challenges and her mom had a lot of power
Girl why you always be posting at like 1 am😭 but am I still going to watch absolutely
Hahaha from her accent I think she's from Australia or new Zealand so for her she's probably posting at a normal time 😂
I'm from Australia, so the videos are usually up at 4pm where I live 😉
🤣🤣🤣
Gianna Newborg on AUDC was actually my favorite from the show! She's now a dancer for the NY Knicks and I was able to watch her dance at a game at Madison Square Garden :)
Cindy and gianna doing each other's hair looking cray cray😂😂😂 I love them
Psych tests are VERY common with reality shows. I'm pretty sure they're mandatory to some degree, although I'm not certain if it's competition shows only, or if non-competitive (i.e. Dance Moms) require it. Asia was almost certainly not the only contestant who was given a test. The reason they're done almost all the time is less to protect the contestants and more to protect the show from liabilities, to say they did their due diligence before casting in case someone sues them.
HOWEVER, the biggest problem with these tests is that they're actually too general and too easy. There's not a lot of regulation around them. Some reality show contestants report that it is very easy to fool the tests and tell them what they think they want to hear. They fail to truly account for everything a person will experience.
Again, I'm not sure if they're mandatory for docu-style, but they are for competition shows. The problem is that they're designed to protect the show/prodco, not the contestants.
Hi, I love your videos. Maybe it’s just me because English isn’t my first language - i’m French - but I can’t hear your voice that well because of the background music, it’s a tiny bit too loud. But as always, thanks for all these informations. Love how well-constructed your videos are! X
Je ne suis pas la seule française 😊
I don't think it's the music what's the problem but that she speaks sooooo soft that her voice kinda feels like it goes away at times
You can write pretty good English though. I started learning French this year-in school- and I can'rpt write what you wrote in French. And yes, I like French class. It is my favorite subject.
omgg moi aussi putain jme sentais seuleeeeeee
Gianna was one of the best in season 2. Her mom wasn’t that bad. She was saying what the producers wanted her to and also just being honest a lot of the time.
I get so excited when a new one of these comes out 😁
YAY I'M ACTUALLY EARLY!!!!!!!! u know what crazy tho i just finished binging this show. i watched all of dance moms except season 8 and then i started watching season 1 of audc and then i got bored so i skipped to season 2 of audc cause i wanted to see kalani and jojo
Hiya, what are you watching it on? An app or?
@@holliejackson8453 I watch it on Dailymotion. It's a free website and they have all the episodes there. (You don't need an account either, just look up the episode + Dailymotion and it'll be there).
@@emmamonson4073 thank you lovely! Will get stuck into it after work, need something dramatic to wind down too haha, thank you :)
OMG RIGHt ON TIME WHEN I HAVE A BREAK!!!! Love you
I can’t watch these shows anymore like I used too. For a good reason tho!!
Here as soon I say the notification! also why u posting at 1 am for me
I was watching one of your old video and then I got a notification for this and clicked so hard!
First❤🧡💛💚💙💜 ILYSM
also I knew everything was fake but this just took me up a whole new level

MackZBoss omg u replied btw ilysm and ur channel amazing and ikr it is crazy how much is real and how much is fake 💕💕
And thx for liking AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
also one of the competitions mari’s mom, gina, is a judge i just think it’s so weird how she was a dance mom judging a competition
I always wanted to know more about AUDC and i was hoping you'd make a video on it! Thank you ❤
i’ll say asia handled the stress of the show better than most of the older kids
Hi I'm sooo early I love ur vids. I heard something on tik tok which could be useful for you! This girl posted syaing that when she was younger she got casted in candy apples for one episode but she was never on the team before.
Good video ideas I would like to see:
Abby and Kelly relationship when Kelly was little
Abby’s other spin off Abby studio something
Savanna and season 8 (I don’t think she was ever on the team)
And Ashlee, Brynn and the other moms relationship
oh my God yes yes yes yes yesss!!! i was waiting for a new episodeeee!!!
What I don’t understand is why can’t we let talent speak for itself? I understand ppl like the drama and it’s good for views and money, but we’re losing focus as to what it’s really about which is DANCE! this is so stupid and fabricated it makes me sick
Because then people wouldn't watch as much. These TV shows are designed to make money. Most people don't know about dance and will believe whatever the judges say- which is based on what the producers want.
most viewers aren't watching for dance, they watch for drama. it only seems like we only want dance because we're apart of the fandom
niara it’s sad
They need new producers and someone that can force abby to behave
Please make one about how the original 6 ALDC members made it on the show! How old were they when they first trained with Abby, when did they join the show, did they have any history with Abby?!
i literally just finished watching audc last week thank you for this❤️❤️
I get so excited to see you pop up on my front page! Thanks for making awesome content for all of us and putting in work for evidence!
Your voice is so calming I even listen to you while doing school work-
Who remembers Abby’s Studio Rescue?
I have been watching this series since day one and it gives me a whole different perspective of Dance Moms that I never knew. Thank you for making this series and keeping me entertained during this time. I just had to get it out there.
I remember watching this at 2:am lol😅.I literally love your videos and I watched all the dance moms uncovered videos and now I’m binge watching all the vids lol!
Seriously your series are amazing... you deserve way more
Gianna is from the eastern side of PA, and Pittsburgh is on the western side. It's like a 6-hour drive
Your videos are so well made!
I have been doing NOTHING but binge watching your DM videos.😍
I just finished watching season 2 today! The theories were very interesting to see. One thing I never understood was that nobody commented on Travis/ Tyler's abilities in season 2. Although they were good, I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did (and none of the moms pointed out their lack of technique or performance). I think that Zack had better technique and performance quality than both of them yet he was eliminated very early in the competition (I know he was up against different dancers, but he should have stayed longer).
can you make another video about abbys other spin off show Abbys Studio Rescue? the drama seemed real but i thought that about dance moms so it would be interesting to see if her other show is the same
your my new therapist
OMG YAY THANK YOU I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE these uncovered videos ❤️ Keep up the great work‼️🤗
The amount of research you must do for these is incredible! Thank you for posting these 💖
Why is no one talking about Jojo’s date 😂✌🏾
Last time I was this early Abby could still walk
That’s kinda offensive...
not really a joke tbh
That is actually really rude
Just wondering, wasn't it also a rumor where Asia won but announced it to early so they changed the outcome?
and didn't Gianna say that she was the only one who got there through the actual open call auditions everyone else had a manager or agent that put them on the show?
I hope you continue making these videos their amazing, and so interesting
*they're
MackZBoss, you’ve done it again. Great video!
Thank you very much for ALL the hard work you put into your video's! I really appreciate it. I find your content extremely interesting and entertaining.
I love these videos they’re so interesting keep up the good work 💞
Another amazing video 💖❤️
Just interesting to point out that along with Yvette joining the main show, Gianna mentioned in her main video about AUDC that she kept getting offers to do things for Dance Moms as well. Thought it was interesting that at least two of the "villians" were contacted afterwards to join Dance Moms
I love your idea about all kids being evaluated and so on while on the show
:)
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO DO AUDC
I realized that in Scary Sweetheart S7 many things happen.... First of all, the mums "attacking" Brynn. BUT the thing that caught my eye, is after the WHOLE competition, in the dressing room, Brynn (and everyone else) are wearing the group dance costumes. BUT when they ask Brynn and Yadie what happened backstage, they are both wearing their scary sweetheart costumes... Like WHAT??
Yooo Elisabeth was so dramatic🤣
Do more of these! We love it!
i was always so confused about why zach got eliminated when elizabeth literally just did a bunch of walking and posing other than the first set of turns and he actually danced and was really good. i thought for sure elizabeth was going home and tbh i kinda didn’t like her bc of all of her temper tantrums and tears as a thirteen year old, like come on when you’re crying more than an actual six year old you know somethings wrong. also she definitely was using her parents divorce to their advantage. you can tell when other people are talking about their hardships, it’s genuine. but for her i couldn’t honestly say she wasn’t using it as an excuse.
Omg yes! When I watched that episode I was like Elizabeth FOR SURE is going home, her combo sucked. I also believe that she really milked the divorce too. Like I understand it's traumatizing and life-altering, but unfortunately, she's not the first kid who's had to deal with their parents' divorce. And it seemed like every time she didn't do very well it was "well my parents are getting a divorce so I'm depressed and that's why I didn't dance well" excuse.
I wonder if this exact thing happened on Abbys Studio rescue 🧐
I’m early finally!!!😝
Haha I love Cindy and Gianna. I wanted them to win from the first episode!😅🤣😂
i cant believe i just discovered your channel and am watching this after sooo long 😐
There was also something about how Abby announced another contestant was leaving the week Kalani should have gone so she was really shocked but then they had to reshoot the scene as Abby had announced the wrong dancer to go home!
Yvette was def the villain😂😭
I loved Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition! Wish it ran for more than two seasons! I honestly would've taken a third season of this show than a season of Abby's Studio Rescue!
JoJo in the thumbnail 😂😂
I love this!!!! It would be really cool if you did a side series for the audc ❤
