On Dance Moms: Abby’s Studio Rescue Season 1 Episode 3, Lifetime’s biggest bully Abby Lee Miller traveled to Connecticut, with some interesting results.
NOTE: This show is not to be confused with Dance Moms, which it airs alongside. Abby Lee has a spinoff in addition to her flagship reality program.
On it, she comes to "rescue" (humiliate) other dance instructors around the U.S., and on Abby’s Studio Rescue Season 1 Episode 3, that was Debbie Donovan.
Having lost nearly all of her dancers to high school graduation, Debbie will apparently benefit from Abby Lee coming to town. Viewers, on the other hand?
"I’m a manipulator," Debbie says whilst introducing herself to the TV audience. "I know how to work people. Isn’t that what business is all about?"
You’ll either love her or hate her, in other words, and she and Abby Lee Miller will either jell perfectly or become a totally ugly oil and water situation.
It looks like the latter at the onset, as Abby remodels her studio and receives blowback every step of the way. Why bring her in if you’re gonna do that?
Ratings, obviously. We realize. But still, you don’t enlist Ms. Miller unless you play by her rules, which you know if you watch Dance Moms online.
She eventually promises to turn over a new leaf, meaning pay bills (shocking concept there) study dance (even more shocking), and invest in the studio.
Trying to grow your business instead of buying a BMW? You shouldn’t need Abby Lee to teach you that, but then we wouldn’t have a show, would we?
Just when things are starting to look up, Debbie gets on stage after the performance and rants about how Abby spent a week humiliating and embarrassing her.
Well, yeah. But again, this is what you sign up for here.
If you don’t want to see it, don’t watch Abby’s Studio Rescue online, let alone call the woman’s publicist to arrange to have her show up in person and berate you.
Doesn’t seem that difficult to grasp for us. Just sayin’.
While we feel bad for Debbie’s students, it’s hard not to chuckle a bit during the end credits when we learn that her landlord has still not been paid.
Enjoy the Beamer and and the eviction process, D.
