Trivia

• Pyramid
  • Maddie
  • Paige, Asia, Chloe
  • Brooke, Nia, Mackenzie, Kendall
• The costumes for "Why Not Me?" were previously used for the off-show group dance "Shades of Grey" in 2013.
• Chloe and Maddie's duet costumes were previously used for their off-show duet "Inside of Me" in 2013.
• Prior to its use here on Dance Moms, Abby already had privately denounced this competition for not really existing, disliking their business terms and treatment of her studio, and blaming the Collins Avenue producers for the competition's use. Ticket sales for Masters of Dance Arts were already handled by In10sity at the time of these complaints. More publicly, she had complained on Twitter about Masters of Dance Arts's age categories prior to Candy Apple Showdown. In10sity would also handle sales for the similar Powerhouse competitions, used in such episodes as Two Girls, One Solo.
• Photos are available (from the above) of Mackenzie already performing "Boys Like You" prior to this episode; but performance of that dance at this episode's Masters of Dance Arts competition is lacking documented verification (or other explanation) on this page.
• Nick Daniels stated on Instagram that, for his solo, "they didn't even play it on the right music." This seems to only refer to usual synchronization differences in edited dances (although with an impact arguably exaggerated by the nature of the dance); since the full length video Nick uploaded to YouTube used the same David O'Dowda music.
• The senior group routine "Why Not Me?" used some parts of the choreography from Shades of Grey, the original senior group routine outside the show.
• For the senior group routine, Emily Burkhart filled in for Stephanie Pittman's spot due to an injury. Auriel Welty filled in for Malena Maust's spot for unknown reasons.
• In early 2021, the episode was removed from Lifetime's website and other streaming services amid the accusations surrounding Kevin Cosculluela.
