Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Feels WAY T...

Christi Lukasiak & Kelly Hyland
About this episode

Christi and Kelly start with Housewives Girls Trip, but the real rabbit hole this week is Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — because Christi cannot stop seeing Dance Moms all over it.


From the “star” being protected to bad behavior getting rewarded, cast members worrying about fan backlash, and everyone trying to figure out how honest they can actually be on camera, the whole thing feels a little too familiar. Christi breaks down why Taylor reminds her of Abby, why some of the other women fall into very Dance Moms-like roles, and why watching the behind-the-scenes reality TV machine play out again feels so strange years later.
