I agree...there was something between Abby and Kathy because there should have been a HUGE blow up between Kathy and Abby over what Kathy did to Brooke. I don't know if she would have won, but I think she would have done better than 6th place. Brooke was rattled and her "costume" did nothing to enhance the performance. I think Brook's mom seems fairly decent and I know she had the fit, but you notice she fixed the costume for Kathy afterwards. There was a whole lotta something that was not aired. In this episode, Abby seemed like an excellent instructor prepping her students for a competition and Kathy was just whack and rude as heck (including rude comments to other moms...wrinkles, nose and so on.) I have to say I really like the performance also. I did not expect to, but it really gelled well.
