Something I've noticed while rewatching the series is that during a competition, right before a performance the MC often says "We're gonna skip a little bit in your program to act number [blank]".

i believe the cast fully believes the comps are real. they are, to an extent. however, when the producers are choosing the competition - and the number of competitors - it’s not a true comp. it may not be rigged, but if your the only one in your category you will win without the judge tampering all the time

Yes it was also the most fair placements and scoring in seasons 1-4. Although there were times where production would fake results. Like they made it look like Kenzie beat Chloe when she actually was in teen division and got first but they only shows the overalls, and the time where Kendall won with fool me twice, but they showed her overall placement which was second. And lastly when Kamryn beck went against Chloe they made it look like she got 3rd but that was in the overalls and she got first in teen.

One note about the comp circuits ‘making up competitions’ is that both Imagine and Believe (comps Abby mentioned) are legit, running competitions to this day. They are both part of the Star Dance Alliance so maybe the producers specifically chose those (as opposed to fully making them up) because they had already worked with many SDA comps before? Just food for thought, because I know Imagine is still running as I competed there just last month!!

wasn't like that all the time though. I watched one the other day and it was like NUmber 50 and Number 57. And same with the solos for one episode, it was 20 and 26. BUT it probs is the very next one if you took note of them each time.

@marilyn1984 Ай бұрын

It wasn’t like that in the first two seasons you would hear the mothers say oh Chloe number is 79 and Maddie is 145 but it was edited right after simply bc it wouldn’t make sense to show them dancing at different chunk of times for example Nia and Asia duet didn’t exactly dance right after Maddie it was like a 30mins after but they edited like they danced right after Maddie and Chloe solos that week

@ambzerambzer8800 28 күн бұрын

Purposely trying to stress the kids out is literally child abuse, and tampering with their costumes or not letting them have enough time to adjust them, so accidents or malfunctions were likely to happen is also abuse, like “oh yeah maybe they’re costume would fall off or maybe this would cause a fall” like geez it’s actually pervy and not to mentally extremely dangerous, an actual fully blown injury could’ve occurred. And Abby banning the guy who Maddie hugged just shows her weird obsession with her, that was clearly out of jealousy

@heatherward5053 Ай бұрын

Abby is mad the judges “played favorites” when that was ENTIRE basis of her business model😂😂 Her hypocrisy TRULY knows no bounds. Abby also had issues with production messing with competition results, but her doing it was ok. Most of us has realized the competition circuit was fake and the results were edited/faked for drama, but there are those few that INSIST they were all real and everything was legit. It’s not just that the competitions were fake, but there was interference in subtle and obvious ways. I love these videos.. packed FULL of stuff I have always wondered

The part that gets me is that Abby accuses the judges of playing favorites when favoritism was the source of all the drama on and off the show. There were also many instances where she would throw a fit when her favorites would lose and her other students would win over her favorites.

Someone should do a deep dive. Call the few studios that were at the competition’s. They had to pay to be there. The competitions were not open to the public. Look up the dates, the competitions didn’t exist on those date’s 😅

@emirachelnatalie3397 Ай бұрын

I only believe that the 100% real competitions are Season 1 and a few more of early season 2.....obviously production may of had influence on them. But they competed season 1, and the show premiered when they were at season 1 nationals. The competitions with more people at awards (mainly season 1-4) were more realistic looking than the later seasons with like just the ALDC there. thats what makes them look fake etc

I think the moms know everything points out to the competitions being rigged, but they choose to care for their daughters self-steems (not public image, unlike everyone says). Imagine thinking you won a lot of things and then it turns out it was handed to you just because you were on a TV show, so you basically never won anything, wasting your youth in competitive dancing for nothing. It probably gives some psychological repercussions. The mothers know, they are just caring for everyone's psyche

Maybe not at all the competitions in the first 2 seasons but I think season 3 on production was putting on most of the competitions themselves and therefore could probably alter scores as they pleased.

Is moms understood how much producers had control over them, why did moms believe Abby was bad person mistreating their girls?
