Mackenzie Beats Maddie… And Everyone LOSES It | Back To The Barre

Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 23 — “Maddie vs. Mackenzie,” where Mackenzie FINALLY beats Maddie… and everyone’s reactions become the big story.

Instead of letting Mackenzie have her moment, things get weird. Super weird. Melissa is emotional, Maddie is upset, and Abby turns the whole thing into a lesson about “losers.” These reactions tell you everything there is to know about the dynamic between Maddie, Mackenzie, Melissa, and Abby.

For years, everyone was taught that Maddie winning made sense, Maddie getting the extra attention made sense, and Maddie being protected made sense. But the second Mackenzie wins, it becomes clear how hard it is for the room to celebrate her without making it about Maddie.

Christi and Kelly also react to Nia calling out the lack of opportunities she gets, JoJo being humiliated over opportunities outside of Abby’s control, guest Travis Payne bringing in a completely different kind of energy, and a group routine that proves how strange this show could be when real performance-world choreography was dropped into a Dance Moms competition setting.
