In this episode, Christi and Kelly talk about how different the show already felt once Dance Moms started getting bigger — 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 Maddie’s hip-hop private, Paige possibly being at the top of an original pyramid, Abby treating certain parents differently, Chloe being called “cocky,” and why standing up for their kids was not as simple as viewers sometimes made it seem.
