Show Notes
"Wouldn't we all like tot ell her to shut up? I'd like to tell her to shut up!" says Kelly of Christy, who only a few episodes in is already starting to test Kelly's patience. But just about everyone else is testing the ALDC's patience on the second half of "Kiss or Get Off the Pot", mostly Abby for continuing to make everyone uncomfortable.
It's the day of competition and the girls are primed to steal the show. Cathy's team might have the better dance, but at In10city the ALDC is always favored regardless. So Abby's focus falls primarily on Maddie and Gino's duet, paying extra attention they nail their kiss. It's clear Maddie is still uncomfortable with being asked to kiss Gino, yet somehow Abby manages to make it even more uncomfortable somehow! Christy however is preoccupied with fighting with Mickey over Gino's place on the team.
