Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"This is one of the worst week's I filmed Dance Moms, behind the scenes," remembers Christi. Everyone's point of no return for the show was different, but for Christi it was during "Decisions Decisions" that Abby finally pushed her too far. It's a week so excruciating that it still weighs heavily on both Christi and Brooke, though it did gift us one of Christi's most iconic bits of profanity laden ranting.Abby welcomes Kalani to the ALDC proper as a replacement for both of the Hylands, leaving Payton out for good despite having been an actual student of Abby's unlike Kalani and Payton placing second on the Pyramid! The only person who kept her from the top was Kelly, whose "mug shot" makes the Top of the Pyramid as behind the scenes the legal battle between Abby and Kelly is officially underway. To add to the drama, Abby insists the girls all wear white costumes for the group number this week that already own, but Kelly just so happens to have two of them and Abby leaves it up to the moms to get them back. When Christi pushes back it results in a a slew of F-bombs that Abby does not want to hear. But was there more to this outburst than meets the eye? According to Christi there is a lot the cameras didn't show this week, and a lot of it was pretty bad to warrant a call to her own attorney.Meanwhile Cathy is back with the routine she pulled from competition two weeks prior, now more confident it's in tip top shape to beat the ALDC. It concerns Abby enough that she has a talking to with the judges to make sure they know their place. But will the behind the scenes drama at the ALDC keep the team from their 12th consecutive win?Quotes“I mean it's trauma bonding. Yeah! God, how many people in the world have trauma because of Dance Moms? Well for everyone else it's their comfort show!" (12:51-13:01 | Christi & Kelly)“Yeah Kelly it's Bourbon Street, you don't touch things!” (20:40-20:43 | Christi)“We got a big Pyramid this week. Then we have a surprise guest! Is it you? That would be me!" (23:13-23:22 | Christi & Kelly)“Oh, how exciting we have marabou."

What a Drag
Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"Chloe is mortified. Just in case anybody is unclear about her face, she is mortified," explains Christi as this week's return to your regularly scheduled episode of Dance Moms is just as rough as it's always been. But on "Sister Showdown" things are especially dire for quite literally everybody, and that's pretty wild for a week where the girls take home all the top spots at competition! Maddie doesn't even make it out unscathed (tho she does in the final edit of the episode so tune-in for some tea).Abby still hasn't settled on a new team and welcomes Payton back into the fold. She even gets a spot on the Pyramid despite not being present at the previous competition, but Abby uses her placement to chastise Payton for crying in the dressing room on her last appearance. This causes Payton to cry and leave the room, leaving Leslie officially on the offensive against Abby this week. To let Payton prove herself, Abby makes her the lead of the group number "Lift You Up", inspired by the musical Kinky Boots. But between the garish costuming and iffy choreography, it's hard not to feel as though Abby is still setting Payton up to fail.For perhaps the first time ever, Abby gives solos to both Maddie and Mackenzie for a sister vs sister conflict. It's a lot of pressure for Mackenzie who has to suffer through Abby's constant comparisons between the two. Meanwhile Chloe takes the third solo, a contemporary called Follow You. With the Hylands gone the number of Abby's targets grows smaller, and Chloe is starting to feel the pressure to not end up on Abby's bad side.Quotes“Please know that nothing irritated Abby more than the fact that those kids kept winning." (22:11-22:16 | Christi)“Here's all I'm going to say. If any of the Dance Moms cast goes missing we'll only be missing for less than 24 hours. One of our fans will find us.” (34:49-34:56 | Christi)“It's crazy that like people love [Abby]. Who loves her?! Fans. Hmmm, they have bad taste." (50:40-50:48 | Christi & Kelly)“Leslie, I know we got into a fist fight in New Orleans. I couldn't have your back more here."

Producer Chris in the Hot Seat
Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"So what were your first impressions of all of us? Oh you guys were mad." I guess having your first day on the job be when the moms are on strike isn't the most ideal way to make a first impression, but for Associate Producer Chris Maragni it was all part of the gig. On this week's episode of Back to the Barre we are joined by Chris for his turn in the spotlight. He worked on three seasons of the show, including Season 4 which means we can get the tea on what really went down behind the scenes. Some of the tea is so piping hot that some of it was even news to Christi and Kelly!Topics include: What happened in the aftermath of Kelly's smack with Abby? How did the song selection for the dances work? Who was the hardest non-Abby cast member to work with? And most importantly, can Christ elaborate on the "Showmances" that Annie implied he took part in? Tune-in for the answers to these questions and much more!Quotes“You had to let [Abby] scream at you and then you had to give it back to her, otherwise you couldn't work with her." (16:44-16:49 | Chris)“I think most of the crew would agree with me; it felt like we had seven little sisters on set with us at all times. They were guilt tripping us to stop smoking cigarettes!” (20:07-20:15 | Chris)“Ok, let's talk about Kelly's fight. Oof, Oh god. This one is fun. you think!?" (32:52-32:59 | Christi, Kelly & Chris)“Why did we never have a wrap party?! I know! We never did anything fun. All out wrap parties ended in jail."

No Guts, No Butts
Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"What kind of dance teacher goes up to the judges and says disqualify my kid?" It's a good question Kelly! But the answer is pretty simple when Abby Lee Miller is on the case! Turns out building a new team isn't so easy, but as the episodes title (Blame it on the New Girl) implies there is at least an easy scapegoat Abby won't hesitate to pounce on.Joining the ALDC for a one time solo venture is Fallon Chapman and her mom Cheryl whom Abby met at the Florida auditions. But Abby begins to sour on her newest dancer as Fallon struggles to pick up the pace on her solo. Abby starts to openly mock Fallon to Cheryl, but her pettiness is nothing compared to when Fallon manages to forget her choreography entirely at competition. It's certainly a bad look, but in classic Abby fashion she manages to make the situation much worse for wear. But for Abby a lot is at stake since if the ALDC wins this week it'll be their 10th consecutive 1st place win, and since Candy Apples is also in attendance she really can't afford to look bad.Meanwhile the girls take a trip to cheer up Mrs. Miller in the nursing home, though Christi is notably barred from attending. Quotes“It's not torture, it's funny!" (01:40-01:42 | Christi)“That was some gay man who wanted to sleep with Kelly, but just the tip... cause he's gay.” (15:36-15:42 | Christi)“Every new mom Brian brought in had big fat fake boobs because he was obsessed with women with fake boobs." (30:45-30:51 | Christi)“Everybody needs to take a shot for Broadway baby making a cameo *indistinct grunting noises from Kelly*" (34:58-35:02 | Christi & Kelly)LinksSubscribe to us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC50aSBAYXH_9yU2YkKyXZ0w Subscribe to our Patreon: www.patreon.com/backtothebarreThank you to Ashley Jana for allowing us to use Electricity!!
