That tbt episode was absolutely ridiculous. That part killed me. Just admit you were (and still are) salty about it. They even tried to say the judges were uneducated and that's why mackenzie won. Because the judges didn't know about tap and mackenzie is cute. Just accept the loss, ESPECIALLY as a mother, they're both your kids you shouldn't be acting that way. Her kids came in 1 & 2, what more could you want? They can't both be first. That's the best possible outcome, neither of them were beat by anyone from another studio or even family.
ETA: if I never saw mackenzie do that stupid handstand circle thing again, it would be too soon. When Maddie was her age she was winning with beautiful lyrical dances and mackenzie is still dressed like an animal doing acro
