** Sarah. She was one of the more sensitive girls and was berated by Abby all the time for her constant crying. Not to mention that her mother was one of the mouthiest ones on the show, and frequently got on Abby's bad side, causing Sarah to miss out on many chances to perform.

Audience Alienating Premise requires the work to be commercially unsuccessful, which this one isn't. All of the NLID examples are ZCE misuse.


* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Many people won't even touch the show with a ten-foot pole because it appears to be exploitative of young girls in a number of areas.



* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Christi's comment about how she didn't think that any of the girls have body image issues (said in the "Waiting For Joffrey" episode) has become this. Since the show's end, several of the cast members have come out about their issues with body dysmorphia, and her own daughter Chloe has come out about her struggles with eating disorders.



** As mentioned above, several of the cast members have come out about their struggles with body dysmorphia, and Chloe has come out about her struggles with eating disorders in early 2020, which makes the mom's talk about their negative views on weight and their own body issues much more harsh.

* NeverLiveItDown: Oh, let us count the instances...
** Abby's actions in "You've Been Unfriended".
*** As well as the second part of "Hollywood Here We Come".
*** And "Big Trouble in the Big Apple."
** The "topless showgirls" dance and the {{stripperific}} "Electricity" costumes.
** Abby throwing the chair.
*** '''"STOP EATING! THAT'S WHY YOU'RE FAT!"'''
** Anytime Christi tried to make Maddie look bad. Like when she made fun of her for not wanting to ice skate. Or when she tried to get her in trouble for allegedly telling Chloe she wasn't a good dancer.

** It's hard to root for Maddie since she wins everything and gets so much special treatment from Abby, but the way people spoke about Maddie, you'd think she herself was a bully child and not just a very focused kid who loved to dance. Even some of her brattier moments were fairly understandable for a little kid (like being a sore loser), and notably, if she cried when she lost, she was regarded as bratty, whereas if other kids cried because they lost it was sympathetic.
