We Demand a Candy Apples Spinoff!
We're headed on the road in 2026! Buy tickets here: https://www.x1entertainment.com/bttb "Stop it right now! Please why didn't we see that on TV!? I want the footage, show me now! I want a Candy Apples spin-off right now!" Well if there's one thing Christi and Dr. Intern Matt would like you to know, it's that we've been robbed of a Candy Apples show that would have been as entertaining as Dance Moms if there was any justice in this world. Oh yes, Dr. Intern Matt has returned! Kelly is out scramb...

BTTB Mini 1: Unpopular Opinions
Come see us on tour!!! Tickets are selling FAST. We cant believe it and can't thank you enough. www.x1entertainment.com/BTTB Hi guys Welcome to our very first Back to the Barre Mini Episode ! We’re experimenting with something new and fun—an extra bonus mini episode each week to give you a little more Kelly & Christi in your life.

We're headed on the road in 2026! Buy tickets here: https://www.x1entertainment.com/bttb "This was a very franken-bit heavy episode. There were numerous times where I knew Abby did not say that." As Christi notes here there was clearly a lot of editing behind the scenes on this episode, but once you hear some of what Abby had to say in the show notes you won't be too shocked why that is. On Season 5's "Nia's Last Chance", Abby starts to take things too far in her treatment of the girls (shock) a...

A Savant-like Ability for Evil
We're headed on the road in 2026! Buy tickets here: https://www.x1entertainment.com/bttb "The field notes for Candy Apples are unhinged. If you guys have never read the field notes for this episode then buckle up. It is possibly equal or crazier than some of our craziest stuff that has gone on. I don not know why they did not show any of this." And Christi isn't downplaying that either. Off screen an entire war was waged between Lucas' mom Bridget and Cathy, which left our Bitches floored by the...

It's true, we can't get enough of it! And on Season 5's "The Great Divide" it turns out the other moms couldn't get enough of it either. With the ALDC back in Pittsburgh it doesn't take long for things to get heated as the fallout from the pretty disastrous trip to LA begin to pick apart what little group dynamic there ...

"I wish I had been on the show with Jess, she would have made me look like Gisele Bündchen."

We're headed on the road in 2026! Buy tickets here: https://www.x1entertainment.com/bttb "I need to know who wrote these field notes, cause they're the best ever!" Christi means that with all her heart, because this is probably one of the more entertaining episodes we've gotten to watch in a hot minute, and that's thanks in part to the salties note taker we've gotten yet! There's sarcasm and grievances galore! With Maddie out acting in Austin and Ally for the week, the girls prep for a chance fo...

As Christi notes, it just wouldn't be Dance Moms without some double dealing contradictions, and oh boy are there A LOT this week. There are so many salacious behind the scenes notes that Christi had to actually verify some things with crew people this week! At least last week Abby was AWOL, she's unfortunately retur...

We're headed on the road in Spring 2026! Buy tickets here: https://www.x1entertainment.com/bttb "We have one of the wilder episodes of Dance Moms that I've seen in a minute. Thank god it wasn't with us!" That's practically underselling how weird it is that Abby is just inexplicably missing for most of the episode. I mean considering the excuse she gives for her absence in "Hello Hollywood, Goodbye Abby" doesn't really explain her absence at all and the girls only had three days to prepare for th...
