When did Christi's grandma pass? She mentioned it this week, but I could've sworn she talked about it in a past BTTB episode, so I was wondering if it was a similar Mrs.Miller situation. I only point this out because Christi has mentioned many times that her grandparents practically raised her, so this must have been really hard for her to lose, essentially her mother figure. As you can see I know way too many facts about this show😭

I was thinking who the moms would benefit more by if they were friends with production or Abby. At first, I thought production because they have a major say in the edits and portrayals of the kids. Christi was known to be friends with production and Chloe did have the edit of being an underdog, but I don't think she was left with many opportunities. Whereas with Abby, she honestly seems to have a lot of power with production, as described on BTTB. Melissa being friends with Abby allowed Maddie to be protected as she got good choreo, rarely lost, and had huge opportunities. Idk which would be better tho.

After the conclusion of the last chapter, I would think the Twiyor arc is coming to an end, so I am really curious to see where Endo is going to focus next. I like the Eden chapters but we have gotten a lot and I think it would be a good time for a solo Loid arc and going deeper into his feelings for Yor.

Hot take, but it's degrading to purposefully misprounounce someones name, similar to how it is to purposefully ignore someone. Obviously, the circumstances are different because one is an adult and one is a child and Abby was downright despicable doing that to Chloe when she was just a kid. But the moms continuously pronouncing Dominaca's name wrong shouldn't be seen as a joke. I'm not gonna lie, I feel like it's a little microaggressive as well.

Melissa never really reacted to things, but whenever someone mentioned her sleeping with her boss, she had a huge reaction, which was good for the show. But this was also a pretty personal situation for Melissa, especially knowing how her ex-husband was. Christi and Kelly always talk about how their personal lives were talked about on the show, but I can't think of many times other than them wanting to get work done on their bodies. They also justify talking about Melissa's affair because Abby talked about it.

They have made drinking/being drunk their schtick, and I think it has done them more harm than actually being funny. They have stated that they were given drinks on set, and many big fights, like New Orleans and post-season 2 nationals, were caused because Christi was drunk. I think Kelly is slightly better at holding her alcohol, but I've noticed on some BTTB episodes towards the end, she seems a little drunk, and I've seen a post on here saying Kelly was a little drunk on tour. Not to mention Christi's DUI in 2024 where she crashed into a pole. Them making jokes and taking pride in being drinkers is a little sad. They are adults and can do as they wish but I wanted to share my concern for them, which I think others will agree with.

I was rewatching season 2 nationals and it's actually insane how little Paige got to do in the Last Text. I'm no dance expert and do not know the names for many moves but throughout the dance, Paige mostly stays in the seat and does a split or chin stand. I compared this to Mackenzie, who I think did a round off back handspring. Again, I am no expert, but I do think Mackenzie's move was more difficult to execute than Paige's. I just don't get why Abby couldn't give something more to do because she is a really good group dancer.
