Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition: Looking forward to episode S02E03

The theme of next week's episode on Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition is "Gods and Mortals," and I have to admit, this idea gives me pause. Adding "ultimate power" to this competition seems like throwing gasoline on a fire, considering the way the tempers of the moms are already fraying, and the dancers' nerves are wearing thin. It seems like the worst idea ever to hold out the concept of being a god, or maybe the best idea ever. Either way, this should make for some addictively watchable television!

This week's theme is "power," and apparently the dancer who wins the initial competition (and their mom) "get to make all the dance assignments." According to the Wikipedia entry, they soon discover that "holding the power isn't always easy."

Easy? No. Fun? Yes.

This is a bunch of moms who already have some pretty serious sportsmanship and control issues. So far we have seen bad winners and bad losers alike. Some of the moms are trying to stay out of it (like Chloe's mom Angela who apparently turns every conversation to Jesus). But with a weekly challenge like this, will they be able to stay neutral? And can they afford to, from a competition perspective?

I don't know, but I'll be glued to my set to find out!
