There was a lot that could have been done with a Dance Moms reunion but this just didn't work. This felt so fake and planned out. Besides the Hylands and Chloe it didn't feel like any of the emotions were genuine. The Hylands were easily the best part of this reunion. Seeing Kelly, Brooke, and Paige reflect on their dramatic exit and how it impacted them was actually really interesting and I felt sad for Kelly. I felt like Chloe was actually showing emotion but it didn't feel like she was very comfortable being there. Lifetime doing this reunion themselves really limited what the cast could say and it felt like they were just throwing in random things to try and create drama. This would've been much better if it was done by anyone besides Lifetime. The producers literally try to guilt trip Chloe into forgiving Abby by showing her a video of Abby going through cancer treatment. The biggest problem with this reunion is Jojo Siwa. She felt like such a weird inclusion especially since Jojo wasn't even on the show with half of the girls there. Jojo had the most screen time and it felt like the reunion wanted to focus so much on her because she is the most famous but the other girls needed their time to shine. Jojo literally had scenes describing how the other girls were feeling. It was weird and annoying especially since she was on the original series for the least amount of time. Jojo's constant defense of Abby and the way that the reunion almost plays off the abuse that the girls suffered by showing clips of Abby being funny is very messed up. Also Kendall didn't get anything to do. It felt like her and Jill were just there and the show focused so much on Jojo that Kendall never got to dive into her trauma, which she actually jokes about on the reunion. All of this despite the fact that out of all the girls at this reunion, Kendall was on the original show the longest. The show felt incomplete without The Zieglers and Nia but it felt even more weird how the show kept bringing up the Zieglers in a really negative light. It just felt mean spirited. If I were them I probably wouldn't want to come back and do this over edited trashy reunion either. Also the fact that Brynn wasn't even invited or talked about at all left a bad taste in my mouth. She was literally on the show longer than Jojo was.
