Everyone is watching you cry
Kendall turns head to look at Payton

[gabbysiler]

You can tell Leslie is fame hungry. What mother would constantly let her daughter continuously get humiliated on tv. Fame hungry

[maryeagle]

"She doesn't cry over nothing" Lmao you sure about that?

[kanyaplays]

I love how at 1:45 when Abby said “everyone is watching u cry ” Kendal just turns her head 😂! Lol 😝

[kaylathompson]

She cant say Mackenzie this is what is looks like when you cry like a baby because she was a baby she was like 6 and Payton is 16 it is better for kenzie to cry then Peyton

[ellieblake]

Payton and Leslie were the most annoying people to ever be on the show

[mickiesconcertarchive]

Payton is very immature for her age. In this industry, you have to be tough and can’t cry over silly things like that. It’s harsh, but true. She should be the leader, not acting younger than Mackenzie. Payton just doesn’t fit on the team... PERIOD!

"She doesnt cry over nothing"
She crying over her HAIR

[naida]

i love how Abby says thigs like: "MAKENZIE STOP CRYING OVER NOTHING!"
makenzie: *is 8 years old*
payton: crying over her hairstyle while being 16 year old
Abby: MAKENZIE STOP CRYING

[daviddecatoire]

Why does Payton look like a really tall ten year old

[vesnafogec]

[cattleya]

0:25 aw melissa is comforting payton this is the content we like to see

[corimoon]

The lack of empathy y’all have for Peyton is honestly disgusting. She was obviously in pain and that alone is enough reason to cry. But those of y’all acting like she’s just crying over the style are idiots.

Abby: *Your the most advanced person on this team!*

Maddie: *Hold my pointed toe!*

[qwak]

Peyton: *cries*


Everyone: *wtf* *you* *crying* *about*
