A cultural phenomena, you can't deny that "Dance Moms" has taken America's reality TV scene by storm. If you're a fan of Sia (or at least enjoyed one of her music videos in the past few years) you might be a bigger "Dance Moms" fan than you think- Madison Ziegler (now known pretty much ubiquitously across the internet as "the girl in the Sia videos") got her start as a star on "Dance Moms"! Now, as Maddie and her sister Mackenzie leave the show to pursue bigger and better things, here are 15 feelings that everyone who's patiently awaiting the new season of "Dance Moms" knows.
1. You know that Tuesday night is pretty much the most-anticipated night of the week...
2. ...and everyone that you live with knows that from 9 P.M. to 10 P.M., the TV is 100 percent owned by you.
3. When the new episode ends, you're already ready for next week.
4. You have to contain the sass when someone says that reality TV is garbage...
Yeah, but it's good garbage, you know?
5. And when someone says that the show is all staged drama, you resist the urge to show them Paige's high kicks...
6. Or Chloe's perfect pirouettes...
7. Or Kendall's massive tour jetes.
Don't know how you can fake all that talent.
8. You need to fight the urge to fight someone when they say that Maddie is the only reason the show is so popular.
I will defend Chloe's honor to the death.
9. But you can see where all the praise comes from -- the 13-year-old is more talented than you'll ever be.
10. You always feel self-conscious watching the show because somehow, these middle schoolers have managed to skip the awkward phase.
You do not look good at 12! You wear blue eye-shadow and purple mascara! Do your time like the rest of us!
