Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 23 — “Maddie vs. Mackenzie,” where Mackenzie FINALLY beats Maddie… and everyone’s 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 “losers.” These reactions tell you everything there is to know about the dynamic between Maddie, Mackenzie, Melissa, and Abby. For years, everyone was taught that Mad...

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 Rulla’s 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...

Christi and Kelly recap and react to Dance Moms season 5, episode 21 — “Dance Moms Down Under, Part 2.” 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 — while Nia and JoJo are ...

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 Kelsey’s 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 argumen...

Christi and Kelly recap and react to Dance Moms season 5, episode 20 — “Dance Moms Down Under, Part 1.” The show heads overseas to Australia... but without Abby, who gets left behind after losing her passport. Of course, that doesn't stop her from controlling everything from thousands of miles away on the phone. She yells at Melissa over the phone, questions whether the whole team was even invited to perform, and says Maddie can just dance by herself if she is not there. This is where the Austra...

Episode 8 of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island finally gave people the fight they knew was coming: Rosie and Kelsey ended up face-to-face, scraming over each other, and throwing out insults left and right. But... how much of this "fight" was real? Christi and Kelly have some theories on whether it was actually spontaneous or maybe, just maybe, production helped set the whole thing up and the girls were in on it. They also react to Alicia being pushed to bring up Rula’s husband drama on camera,...

It’s a Dance Moms reunion episode, which means nobody is walking in relaxed and nobody is leaving unscathed. Holly gets sent out first, and that alone tells you what kind of episode this is going to be. Christi and Kelly break down the tension around Nia, the way Abby turns adult conflicts into kid punishment, and the strange reunion logic where everyone knows what is really happening, but no one is allowed to say it directly! They also pull back the curtain on what these reunion days were actua...

Come see us live!! www.x1entertainment.com/bttb "I feel like we're consistent in the mocking of Jill." Christi might be talking about her outfits, but "Showdown in Pittsburgh, Part 2" doesn't do Jill any favors when it comes to giving her plenty of mockable moments as well. I mean is it already week three of Jill trying to convince Holly she should be grateful for what Abby does for Nia? Like WHILE Abby is actively trying to sabotage Nia at every conceivable turn? Yeah it's not one of Jill's bet...

Using our own TV experience, we'll tell you what's real and what feels a little too set up by producers. Plus, we also talk about our favorite Met Gala looks! ...
