Melissa’s a Brat, Kelly’s Dress Is Missing & Jill’s Watching Pair Skating

from Dear Dance Mom...

This week, Melissa, Jill and Kelly are in full wedding prep mode — except there’s just one tiny problem: Kelly still doesn’t have a dress and Brooke’s wedding is NEXT WEEK. Panic levels? High. Alteration options? Questionable.As the glam plans roll in (nails, hair, makeup schedules — the works), they reveal that Brooke may be the most prepared bride of all time… complete with a full PowerPoint presentation for the bridal party. Yes, really. From timelines to seating charts, she’s running this wedding like a board meeting and we’re honestly impressed.Meanwhile, the moms are counting down the days until they can escape the freezing weather, binge-watching the Olympic Games, and obsessively tracking Team USA’s medal count. Jill, in particular, has entered her professional commentator era thanks to her full-blown pair skating obsession. And of course, we get into the Dance Moms tea. A listener asks the big question:Were Maddie — or any of the kids — actually brats in Season 1 of Dance Moms… or was it all editing?Plus, Melissa addresses the viral clip where she says she “doesn’t know what it feels like to lose.” Was that real brat energy… or producer manipulation? Have a question for the moms?
