Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 28 â âSolo Battle: Round 1,â where Kalani returns to the ALDC after walking out with Kira, but Abby being Abby is not exactly ready to welcome her back with open arms.
Even though the moms agree the team needs Kalani, Abby absolutely REFUSES to put her in the group dance and says she needs to learn a lesson for leaving. That leaves Kira trying to get Kalani back in Abbyâs good graces, the girls rehearsing a risky jail-yard-inspired group number, and Abby eventually storming out of rehearsal all over again.
Elswhere, Abby kicks off her nationals solo battle by putting Kendall and JoJo head-to-head. Kendall gets a contemporary solo, JoJo gets a Miley Cyrus-inspired routine, and one forgotten solo turns into a surprisingly emotional moment. Plus, Jeanette officially rebrands her team as BDA and gives the ALDC real competition heading into nationals.

In this episode, Christi and Kelly talk about how different the show already felt once Dance Moms started getting bigger â from kids staring at competitions to the girls realizing they actually had fans. They also get into the moments that never made it on camera, the off-camera chaos with Abby, and what it was really like when the crew understood more than the audience ever saw.
Plus, Christi and Kelly react to fan comments about Maddieâs hip-hop private, Paige possibly being at the top of an original pyramid, Abby treating certain parents differently, Chloe being called âcocky,â and why standing up for their kids was not as simple as viewers sometimes made it seem.

Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes â in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, theyâre revisiting season 1, episode 8 (âLove On The Dance Floorâ), where Abby brings in Brandon to dance with Brooke and immediately turns the whole thing into one of the most awkward setups in early Dance Moms history!
The idea is that Brooke and Brandon need chemistry for the group dance. But once Abby starts talking about their past âfling,â forces them on a date, and pushes them to act like there is some big romantic connection, everything gets uncomfortable FAST! Brooke is only 13, clearly not into it, and the entire storyline becomes less about the dance and more about whether Abby can force two kids to âconnectâ on camera.
Joining the show is Diane Pent, Brandonâs mom. Together, they look back on the behind-the-scenes chaos of filming in Florida for this episode. From the Fun Spot date to the terrible group dance, the watermelon game at Abbyâs house, and the first signs of the show getting bigger, this episode has all the classic early Dance Moms weirdness!
We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube!

Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 27 â âAbby vs. Kira⊠Again,â where Abby returns after mysteriously disappearing for a week, only to find out Kira has brought in someone else to work with Kalani.
This time, it is Alexa â Kalaniâs real teacher from Arizona â and Kira makes it clear she wants Kalani to shine in her home state with choreography that actually shows who she is as a dancer. That means Abby has to sit there while another teacher works with one of her strongest dancers, and the tension is impossible to ignore.
But the drama does not stop with Kalaniâs solo. The Candy Apples are back without Cathy, Jeanette is trying to prove Ava can beat Kalani again, and Abby pulls Kalani from the group dance before they go head-to-head in Phoenix. By the end, Kalani is in tears, Kira is ready to leave again, and Christi and Kelly are left watching another Dance Moms fight where the real issue seems bigger than the one happening on camera.

Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes â in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, theyâre revisiting Dance Moms season 1, episode 7 (âSheâs A Fighterâ), where Holly reaches one of her first major breaking points with Abby over Niaâs solo.
The moment starts when Abby gives Nia an animal-print costume for âThey Call Me Laquifaâ and then asks if Holly has an afro wig... and that's where things start getting uncomfortable.
Christi and Kelly look back on Hollyâs reaction, the lunch conversation that followed, and why this was about much more than one costume piece.
They also revisit the hallway confrontation after Nia performs, where Holly tells Abby that Nia is a dancer first â not an ethnicity first. Between the âlet me pull one out of my purseâ comment, Abby defending the routine as an âethnic opportunity,â and Holly finally calling out how Nia was being portrayed, this becomes one of the earliest moments where Holly truly stands her ground.
We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube!

Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 26 ("Where in the World Is Abby Lee Miller?"), where Abby does something almost unheard of: she disappears for the entire week.
After last episodeâs blowup with Kira and Kalani, the team shows up wondering if Abby will actually come back. But instead of another screaming match, another pyramid meltdown, or another dramatic entrance, there is just⊠no Abby. Gianna runs rehearsal, the girls prepare their solos, and everyone tries to figure out whether Dance Moms can function without the person who usually controls the room.
And somehow, it does. The girls compete, the team keeps moving, and the drama finds a new place to land. Kendallâs music release is supposed to be the big storyline of the week, but Niaâs music career keeps getting pulled into the spotlight too, leading to a messy fight between Jill and Holly over whose daughter is finally getting a moment.
With Abby gone, the episode turns into a very different kind of chaos. The girls are still trying to win, the moms are still trying to protect their kidsâ moments, and Christi and Kelly are left asking the obvious question: where the hell was Abby?

At last, Brian takes the hot seat at The Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion episode, and things get spicy!
Christi and Kelly react to all the reunion drama as Jo-Ellen comes armed with receipts, Brian dodges question after question, and Rulla finally realizes in real time that there may be a lot more to the story than she knew. From the alleged girlfriend being tied to Brianâs business to the confusing marriage timeline, this reunion gets out of hand in a hurry!
Christi and Kelly also break down how reunion shows really work â how they expose the cracks people try to hide all season, why the footage after filming ends is sometimes where the real drama lives, and how quickly one bad answer can make everything worse. Plus, they get into Liz leaving the show, Aliciaâs financial confusion, the never-ending Rosie house debate, and why Love Islandâs Casa Amor girls might be the Candy Apples of reality dating TV (seriously!).

Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes â in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, theyâre revisiting season 1, episode 6 (âDying to Danceâ), where the ALDC takes on one of its creepiest and most memorable early group dances: âWhere Have All The Children Gone?â
The routine was dark from the start: missing children, milk carton imagery, white costumes, a swing set, and choreography that left even the girls trying to figure out exactly what message they were supposed to be sending. Christi and Kelly look back on why the dance felt so heavy, how the moms reacted to the subject matter, and why the number still stands out as one of the most unforgettable group routines from the early seasons of Dance Moms.
They also get into everything else happening around the episode: Christiâs 40th birthday Botox trip, the infamous birthday party gifts, Broadway Babyâs cameo, Christi getting emotional news about her grandmother, and Kellyâs blowup with Cathy after Brookeâs costume situation spirals right before she goes on stage. Episode 6 has a little bit of everything â creepy choreography, Cathy chaos, Botox, lobster, sickled feet, and one group dance the girls somehow pulled off beautifully.
We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube!

Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 25 â âAbby vs. Kira,â where the moms have FINALLY had it waiting for Abby to give their girls real training.
The ALDC is in Los Angeles, the studio still is not finished, the girls are not getting consistent classes... and yet Abby keeps blaming them for losing. So the moms decide to do something about it: they bring in Sondra, an outside teacher and choreographer, to lend an extra hand.
But this is Dance Moms, so of course it ESCALATES in a hurry. Abby acts like the moms have betrayed her, shuts down the whole thing, and goes into full meltdown mode. Then the fight gets even more personal when Abby rejects Kalani, and Kira, at last, snaps at her. Bring on the fireworks!

Christi and Kelly are back with another BTTB Reality Exposed, breaking down the Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion and why these âsit-down and talk it outâ specials are NEVER as they appear.
From where people sit on the couch to which cast members suddenly come in ready to fight, Christi and Kelly explain how producers set the stage for reunion chaos before anyone even says a word. The RHORI reunion brings them right back to their own Dance Moms experience, where seating mattered, cameras kept rolling, and every reaction could be turned into a storyline.
In this reunion episode, they get into Rulla coming in guns blazing, the cast questioning why she was seated so close to Andy, Liz apologizing after public backlash, Rosie and Kelseyâs feud, and the cheating video drama STILL hanging over the show. Plus, Christi breaks down why Love Island producers might be some of the most diabolical in all of reality TV right now.

Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes â in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, theyâre revisiting season 1, episode 5 (âWhen Stars Collideâ), where the girls are getting ready for the ALDC showcase, a Broadway agent is coming to watch⊠and somehow, the moms end up being forced to perform too.
Christi and Kelly look back on the absolute nightmare of learning a dance from Cathy, wearing those costumes on national television, and realizing they were about to be humiliated in front of their kids, the audience, and every person who would ever watch the episode later.
Plus, the two revisit the fallout from Christiâs fight with Abby and Melissa from the previous episode. There are some apologies, but not before Abby tries to get Christi to sign an outrageous contract. Also covered in the episode is Mackenzie refusing to sing, Chloe getting called out over a hair tie on her birthday, and the early signs that Dance Moms was becoming much bigger than anyone originally thought!

Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 24 â âWest Coast Strikes Back,â where the ALDCâs rivalry with MDP starts feeling a lot less like friendly competition and a lot more like a real threat.
This week, Abby is back in Los Angeles, MDP is at the same competition, and Erin Babbs knows exactly how to get under her skin. Between the âmonsterâ routine, the American Girl doll made to look like Abby, and the backstage tension, Christi and Kelly watch as the West Coast rivalry turns into one of the few matchups that actually seems to rattle Abby.
But the biggest drama is still happening inside the ALDC. After Mackenzie beats Maddie, Abby gives her the lead in the group dance â only to take it away and hand it right back to Maddie. Christi and Kelly break down how predictable the switch felt, why the dance suddenly looked like a Maddie solo with backup dancers, and why the moms were so frustrated that Melissa did not fight harder for Mackenzie.
They also react to JoJo dancing a tribute solo for her grandmother, Kendall competing âJust an Illusion,â Jillâs truly terrible pep talk, Jessâs giant bow hat, Abbyâs carpet-like outfit, and the now-iconic âmy momâs deadâ moment.

The Housewives cheating video was real after all, and Christi and Kelly have plenty to say about how the Real Housewives of Rhode Island finally handled it.
This week on BTTB Reality Exposed, we review episode 12 of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island "The Ferry-Tale Is Over." The cast heads to Block Island, where Jo-Ellen is still being treated like the problem even though Brian is the one everyone should be talking about. Rulla has spent past few episodes questioning the cheating video, the date, and whether it could have been manipulated, but that all falls apart once Brian admits the video is real
Christi and Kelly also react to the lobster dinner, where Rosie finally says what everyone else keeps dancing around: Jo-Ellen did not create this mess. Brian did. And just when it seems like the season is trying to wrap the cheating drama up, the post-filming update makes everything even messier, with Brianâs arrest, the tracker on Rullaâs car, and Rulla still seeming unsure about what comes next.
Plus, Christi and Kelly break down the parts of the episode that felt the most produced, including the beach makeups, Billyâs proposal, and why Rosie might be exactly the kind of cast member reality TV producers love.

Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes â in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, theyâre revisiting season 1, episode 4 (âStealing the Showâ), an episode that still feels heavy because it brings them right back to one of the first times the show stopped feeling fun.
At the center of the episode is Paige. Kelly remembers watching the week unfold knowing her daughter was being pushed toward a solo she wasnât prepared for, without the music she needed, while everyone else kept acting like the moms were just being dramatic. Christi was feeling it too, watching Chloe get handed new choreography while Maddie walked in with two solos and far more preparation. What aired as jealousy was, to them, really a slow-motion disaster they could see coming before the kids ever stepped on stage.
Christi and Kelly also revisit the other chaos surrounding the week: Kathy refusing to ride the bus, Vivi getting stuck with the Bumblebee solo, Melissa working the front desk, Abby insisting the girls were ready, and the competition day tension that made everything feel worse.
We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube!

Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 23 â âMaddie vs. Mackenzie,â where Mackenzie FINALLY beats Maddie⊠and everyoneâs reactions become the big story.
Instead of letting Mackenzie have her moment, things get weird. Super weird. Melissa is emotional, Maddie is upset, and Abby turns the whole thing into a lesson about âlosers.â These reactions tell you everything there is to know about the dynamic between Maddie, Mackenzie, Melissa, and Abby.
For years, everyone was taught that Maddie winning made sense, Maddie getting the extra attention made sense, and Maddie being protected made sense. But the second Mackenzie wins, it becomes clear how hard it is for the room to celebrate her without making it about Maddie.
Christi and Kelly also react to Nia calling out the lack of opportunities she gets, JoJo being humiliated over opportunities outside of Abbyâs control, guest Travis Payne bringing in a completely different kind of energy, and a group routine that proves how strange this show could be when real performance-world choreography was dropped into a Dance Moms competition setting.

The Rulla cheating rumors are taking over The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, and at this point, Christi and Kelly are watching the same way everyone else is: waiting for somebody to finally say what is really going on.
Rosie keeps pushing the cheating video, Rulla keeps trying to make sense of it, and Rullaâs husband keeps giving answers that somehow make the whole thing feel even messier. First it was AI. Then it was about the date. But the more the story changes, the harder it is for Christi and Kelly to believe this is going away quietly.
And because this is Rhode Island, the cheating rumors are not happening in a vacuum. Liz is acting off at parties, everyone seems to have a problem with Jo-Ellen, the husbands are somehow getting more screen time, and every scene feels like it is building toward the one conversation nobody wants to have. By the end, Christi and Kelly are not just asking what happened with the video â they are asking who is hiding what before the finale.
Plus, Christi tries to get Kelly to watch Love Island after one of the most unhinged reality TV openings she has ever seen.

Christi and Kelly recap and react to Dance Moms season 5, episode 22 â âLive From LA, It's Kendall K.â
Kendall's big music video premiere has finally arrived, giving Jill the moment she had been chasing all season. Christi and Kelly revisit the event at Universal Studios, the pressure surrounding Kendall's debut, and the constant comparisons being made between Kendall and Nia's music careers. Looking back, both agree the girls were never really rivals, even if the show desperately wanted them to be.
Meanwhile, Abby seems completely checked out. She skips the competition, leaves the team without important props and costumes, and continues taking shots at Nia by casting her as the "traitor" in the group's routine. Christi and Kelly discuss why they believe Abby was unfairly blaming Nia for decisions made by adults, and relive one of the funniest moments of the entire season: the infamous purse dump that exposed the absolute chaos hiding inside Abby Lee Miller's handbag.

Christi and Kelly recap and react to Dance Moms season 5, episode 21 â âDance Moms Down Under, Part 2.â
The Australia trip continues, but this episode feels different from a normal competition week. There is no usual pyramid-to-competition rhythm, and Christi and Kelly both point out that the whole thing feels a little off. Instead, the episode follows the team through Australia as Abby plans a Mad Max-inspired showcase routine for Maddie, Mackenzie, Kendall, and Kalani â while Nia and JoJo are once again left out of the main ALDC plan.
That divide becomes the center of the episode. Christi and Kelly react to Nia getting her own performance in Melbourne, Mikey flying in to work with her, and how different the energy feels when Nia is being built up instead of torn down. They also break down the fallout from the Ireland video mocking JoJo, the moms defending the girlsâ apology, and JoJo admitting that even if you forgive something, you do not just forget it.

Episode 9 of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island ("Questionable Behavior") has Christi and Kelly asking the only question that really matters with this show: what are we actually watching here?
After Rosie and Kelseyâs blowup, the show tries to move forward, but Christi and Kelly still feel like the show drama feels less real and more like production handing people props, lines, and reasons to fight. The Miss Slam Pig sash, the pizza pitch, the trivia night chaos, the yacht trip, the car argument, the dramatic family backstory â all of it has them wondering where the real relationships end, and the manufactured Housewives machine begins.
They also react to some local Rhode Island tea from a listener on Patreon, who lives in the state and might not know some behind-the-scenes details.
