Rock Hard Place

Summary:
With a dance competition coming up, Kate and Chris decide the line positions which annoys Emily. She goes to talk to them and they agree that she can decide the lines. She puts Michelle in the back row which causes many raised eyebrows amongst A-Troupe. When Riley finds out that Kate and Chris had no input on the lines, she tells A-Troupe and Emily is forced to put Michelle in the front.
While this is happening, Daniel is choreographing a dance for J-Troupe which annoys Tiffany so she gets J-Troupe to be mean, However, she comes in and tells them to start dancing and the result is an epic dance. Unfortunately, there is a very sad ending, because Riley got Michelle to go into the front row, she gets kicked out of E-girls.

OMG!!! Moment:
There are two OMG!!! Moments in this but the one I'm going to look at is when Riley tells everyone that Emily made up the lines by herself without consulting Kate and Chris.
On one hand, Emily is dance captain so she should be able to choose the lines but if the lines are so obviously wrong then, if the dancer want, they should be able to switch places.

This time I think we should get to know Riley.

Dance, Dance

Summary:
At the start of this episode, Chris and Kate suggest that Michelle should be dance captain but Emily isn't having it so they split A-Troupe into two teams of five. Michelle is in charge of Riley, James, Stephanie and West while Emily is in charge of Eldon, Daniel, Tiffany and Chloe. Michelle's dance is clearly much better but Stephanie deliberately messes up the dance. Kate gets annoyed with Michelle for saying that her dance was ready so Emily becomes dance captain. However after a while arguments begin to break out between the A-Troupe members. Chris tells them that if they don't clean up all the ping-pong balls he dropped then they have to stretch for four hours. There is a lot of arguing but then West and James start dancing and then everyone else joins in. It ends with everyone just dancing for fun.

OMG!!! Moment:
This episode has a very clear OMG!!! Moment and that is where Stephanie is split from Emily and she is told (by Emily) that she must ruin Michelle's dance. In a way, Emily is desperate to keep her captaincy and she had done very well in the past. But they should have been able to compete fairly and Emily may have won anyway.
