"Wouldn't we all like tot ell her to shut up? I'd like to tell her to shut up!" says Kelly of Christy, who only a few episodes in is already starting to test Kelly's patience. But just about everyone else is testing the ALDC's patience on the second half of "Kiss or Get Off the Pot", mostly Abby for continuing to make everyone uncomfortable.It's the day of competition and the girls are primed to steal the show. Cathy's team might have the better dance, but at In10city the ALDC is always favored regardless. So Abby's focus falls primarily on Maddie and Gino's duet, paying extra attention they nail their kiss. It's clear Maddie is still uncomfortable with being asked to kiss Gino, yet somehow Abby manages to make it even more uncomfortable somehow! Christy however is preoccupied with fighting with Mickey over Gino's place on the team.Tune-in as well this week to hear some juicy behind the scenes insults that didn't make the final cut of the episode!Quotes“Now I can do all kinds of crazy s***t because I won't pee myself!" (04:34-4:37 | Kelly)“Our kids get in trouble for everything and she cried over a meatball sub!"” (13:38-13:42 | Christi)“Oh my god drink! There's not a headband to be seen but drink!" (37:22-37:26 | Christi)“The sandwich is a felony, I'm sorry!"

The Sandwich Incident
"It was the most unhinged 15 minutes I've ever witnessed in my life," recounts Christi in reference to "The Sandwich Incident". But the incident happened entirely off-screen! It's one of Christi's most cherished Dance Moms memories, one she has thought about monthly for over a decade! So on the first half of "Kiss or Get Off the Pot", come for Abby's insistence of making children do things they're uncomfortable with, stay for a classic behind the scenes Abby meltdown.The Select team is out this week so the production doesn't have to pay them, but Sarah H and Christy stick around to claim the top spot on the Pyramid. The rest of the placements seem arbitrary at best, Abby is mostly upset that the girls cried after coming in second. The moms point out their attitude probably had more to do with their teacher making a separate team to upstage them after they were on a long win streak.Abby announces they're going to be going head to head once again with Cathy at In10city Dance in Ohio. To spite Cathy she enlists the help of Gino, one of Cathy's former dancers, to perform a duet with Maddie. While the pairing was obviously designed with Maddie, Abby holds auditions for the duet to give the appearance of fairness, but ends up just insulting most of the girls until she arrives at Maddie anyways. Maddie does not like that Abby is insisting she kiss Gino for the performance as it'll be her first kiss, but Abby seems dead set on making it happen for some reason.The other thing Abby is dead set on is making it clear she was on Dancing with the Stars. Not only does she keep bringing it up, but she even themes the group dance around it! Quotes“Everyone was cracking up that you said these were all the books you read. I lied! I lied!" (01:32-1:43 | Christi & Kelly)“That was Kelly's favorite thing about Candy Apples. They would say Candy Apples and Kelly's eyes would light up. She'd go, 'Can we get beef Jerky?!'” (09:59-10:06 | Christi)“I'm so disappointed that 2012 Christi didn't say sloppy seconds. I need to go back and tell Abby she was picking up Cathy's sloppy seconds. That was a golden opportunity to use those words." (24:36-24:46 | Christi)“The children knew that Abby was crying over the sandwich."

Flowers and $10 Pajamas
"Alright, so this is going to descend into hell very quickly," remarks Christi as the inevitable confrontation between the moms and the Select team comes to fruition on the second half of "Double the Moms, Double the Trouble". The teams arrive at Sheer Talent and Abby's differing treatment of the two teams becomes more visually apparent as the girls receive their costumes. The Select team is blessed with intricate outfits while, as Holly puts it, the Elite team got stuck with $10 pajamas. But Abby continues to downplay and excuse the circumstances, though is more than happy to celebrate the Elite team playing second fiddle to her new dancers as the Select team takes first.The moms are content to say congratulations and walk away, but Production is not content to let our moms off the hook (not so long as there is drama to be had). The new moms attempts to stir the pot even manage to set Holly off, which the edit manages to frame as Holly getting mad at Maddie somehow! It's a rough episode as always, but we have a lot more behind the scenes facts that should shed some light on how rough it really was.Quotes“I still can't get over that I got arrested for what I did and they didn't" (07:18-7:24 | Kelly)“Why did people get mad at you for that? Who f*****g knows Kell, I get in trouble for everything.” (09:54-09:57 | Christi & Kelly)“I'm sitting there thinking Abby would rather have her on the team than me? Was I that bad!?" (24:46-26:53 | Kelly)“" (1:08:53-1:08:59 | Christi)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!!

The Whatserface vs Christy Smackdown
Take a minute to fill out our listener survey! It helps us get better sponsors and make the show even more your vibe."I just want to point out we're already 40 minutes in and we're not done with Pyramid. Guys the tea is hot the season." It certainly says something that the first episode of Season 4B is so am packed with things to talk about that we still had to cover this episode over two weeks! But don't fret our little Bitchettes, because we have more behind the scenes to talk about than ever before thanks to the Producer's notes being leaked back in the day. So if you didn't think our tea was hot enough already as is then you haven't seen anything yet. And "Double the Moms, Double the Trouble" is an episode you'll want the tea for as things quickly heat up with the Select Team.Christy emerges as an annoying voice of reason amongst the new moms, in that she's right about everything but can't find a way not to be annoying! In the previous competition Abby meddled with the scoring so that Chloe would lose, and only Christy seems to find that odd. The rest of the Select Moms are more concerned Abby hasn't gotten rid of Christy, and Tami insists her daughter is ready to take Sarah H's solo if Abby changes her mind. In turn Christy insists that she and Tami throw hands and a fight ensues. things get messy fairly quickly, but do they get kicked out of the ALDC or get the cops called on them? Of course not! If Abby is consistent about one thing it's being inconsistent with how she applies the the ALDC rules.Quotes“Kelly, could you not file your toenails on the podcast?!" (10:51-10:55 | Christi)“Later on in life I become friends with Traci and she is so mad that I called her Frumpelstiltskin on national television!” (24:55-25:02 | Christi)“I don't think Sia would have been thrilled having Abby be there on set." (31:03-31:07 | Kelly)“Because they had a fist fight the Producers didn't need a fight that day. So we didn't have to work! It was the greatest day of my life!"

Abby's Favorite Dances
"We could have done Chloe vs. Maddie but we've talked about everything ad nauseam about that rivalry so who wants to sit and listen to us again?" Yes after two reunion episodes we get a ol' clipshow covering material that's already worn out its welcome. So instead of slogging through that we're going to ump ahead to the next episode... which is still kind of a clipshow but it's different enough! Abby takes center stage as she counts down her top 10 ALDC dances, with the full uncut dances featured!It's a good enough excuse to walk down memory lane, plus plenty of Abby's picks match Christi and Kelly's own. But there are certain selections that will leave you scratching your head, and Abby's reasonings don't always tell the whole story. So join us as we re-examine some of the girl's finest work.Quotes“Well it's a shit day in Pittsburgh, per usual." (01:14-01:17 | Christi)“Abby and her staff did work incredibly hard. So for as much as we said it was hard for our kids to learn dances every week, I can't imagine how hard it was for them to choreograph every week.” (16:25-16:36 | Christi)“It was such a stupid fight. Such a stupid fight. Weren't they all?" (33:18-33:24 | Christi & Kelly)“I have to agree with Abby... maybe the first time ever."
