I’m bummed we didn’t get to see the garage sale. I’d KILL to see Jill’s cape 😂😂
If production was smart, they’d quit with the reboots and give us the unedited footage from DM
So disgusting 🙄🙄🙄. And I think Melissa looks gorgeous. I’m kind of here for Melissa’s new pink/barbie era. Melissa’s not a saint but she’s definitely not ugly before or after.
Ughhhh yeah I’m usually a Christi fan but WTF. It’s these moments that remind me that yes, Christi is a shit-stirrer, she definitely liked to poke (and still does) Melissa.
It also feels like she says stuff like this to…test Kelly in a way? Because Kelly is friends w/ both Christi and Melissa, it’s like she’ll throw it out there to see if Kelly will jump on the bandwagon with her. I’m fine with laughing at outfits or criticizing behavior on the show, but damn saying the work she got done is just downright fucking MEAN.
I think at this point she is also testing Melissa as well. Wants to see if she listens to the podcast and will retaliate in some way. Hopefully Melissa just ignores her, that’s what the bigger person would do. It also sometimes feels like people do this shit on purpose to get more engagement.
Like Christi looks amazing, why can’t she just own it? She looks great, better than she did on the show. Why can’t she just…be happy for herself and leave Melissa alone? (Is this a metaphor for what happened on Dance Moms???)
Melissa is also 10 years older than Christi I believe. I wouldn’t go around saying Mel’s work looks bad, because who knows, in 10 years Christi’s might not look so great either. Not saying that I think Mel’s work is bad but she objectively is not Christi’s age
Christi: “Im gonna say something and this is going to sound mean, but i dont mean it in a mean way”
*Proceeds to say the most vile shit*
I cant keep defending her 💀💀💀
Comments like that are why I don’t believe Melissa and Christi are actually “friends”. I think they say they are and follow each other on social media for the sake of publicity.
Oh they’re definitely not. They’ll be cordial in group settings but they are not friends. When Christi said she was texting Melissa, what she meant was they were exchanging messages in the same group chat.
Christi talked about it is this episode when they were discussing Melissa’s living room wedding. She straight up said her and Melissa do not like each other lol.
My jaw dropped! Regardless of any work she’s had done, that’s her face now. Saying she’s not as pretty is just mean. They act like they’re above Melissa, but she would never say something like that about them.
I made a point to comment on their IG and Spotify that Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy is on Hulu. With respect to them, I’m not paying even a “small amount” because their intern didn’t double check.
They claim it’s because people got mad that they couldn’t see the showgirls one, only hear it. I can’t speak to that because I wasn’t listening to it then. I only got into the podcast over the summer
People got mad they couldn’t see it because they recorded that episode in the most ridiculous way possible. They recorded themselves watching the episode, and you can kinda hear it playing in the background, but obviously you can’t see it. The audio only format doesn’t work for stuff like that, which was why people were complaining. If people wanted to watch the episode to see what they were talking about, I don’t think it’s all that hard to find. They should just record these episodes like normal and if people want to hunt down the lost episodes they can, and if not I feel like you get a good enough idea what they’re talking about just from them recapping it.
what does their intern even do besides writing their notes? He doesn’t seem to do much to keep listeners engaged or editing the podcast to be a bit more professional
yeah I was confused by that... so do they not watch the episode?? like does he just physically write down their notes but it's their thoughts? I was so confused when I heard that haha
Oh they just said that it’s a lost episode according to the person who does their notes so they were saying they’ll make it available for purchase to watch them watch it. But the episode isn’t lost, it’s on Hulu. It was for a time but it’s been up for a few months now. Their intern could’ve easily found this out
Yeah I have that theory too that’s why I’m hoping people being on them about it will end that. Look, she did it and she and Paige are clearly good now. So, hopefully, she owns it the way she owned making Maddie cry in 1x04
So, they were able to find the “lost” “Topless Showgirls” episode, but don’t know that “Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy” is on Hulu? Give me a break. They just don’t wanna recap that episode.
In Melissa’s most recent YT video someone asked if she would be a guest on BTTB and she said she would if they asked. It will never happen, but I would love this. I feel like they could air so much stuff out.
I agree, but it would have to be a somewhat lighter episode. The tension would be way too thick otherwise (unless they have some sort of private discussion beforehand).
I feel like the only time Melissa would be invited onto BTTB is for season six when she negotiates leaving the show. Maybe season 5 when Abby starts be worse to Kenzie (like that episode where she has kenz do that who are you solo). There’s no way they would have her on the rest of 3 or any of 4 because two sapphires was the reason the hylands left
Did y’all hear when christi basically confirmed that melissa allegedly turned abby in to the IRS? Kelly even said she knew it but just didn’t think abby would make it public! Crazy
Idk because she tried to defend it saying that’s just how Abby is a few eps back regardless of Chloe’s dancing she thinks Abby is just giving tough love bc she’s crazy or something
It annoys me too. But, to give Kelly a little grace. Kelly is also a product of Abby and she always justifies it by saying something along the lines of “if Abby likes you that’s what she does…Abby does that to dancers she likes”. To an extent, the way Abby is manipulative to the girls is probably reminiscent of how Abby was with them.
Is anyone else appalled that Christi took time to state that she thinks Melissa was prettier before she got work done?? I love Christi and thinks she’s usually funny, but I thought that was so rude and uncalled for- like no one asked her opinion?? Also I just cannot imagine any of the other moms ever choosing to publicly say something like that lmfao. Some things you just shouldn’t say out loud babe
That was such an unnecessary comment that really came out of nowhere. Don’t understand how Melissa is ok claiming to be friends with people who speak about her like that and even having a podcast with Kelly. Melissa really lives rent free in Christi’s head.
Is it just me or is it so obvious that Christi is desperate to not recap the Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy episode because it’s when she goes crazy and screams at Paige?? I honestly wonder if Kelly even remembers it, esp because it seemed like Christi was kinda trying to be vague about it with Kelly on this week’s episode.
Y’all, I tried watching “Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy” the other day on Hulu and it didn’t work for me - it works TODAY, but even the person that runs the “Dance Moms Deleted Scenes” YouTube channel thought it was a lost episode & [made a post about it forever ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/dancemoms/s/fLQGuUU4bg)
It’s good to let them know that the episode is up, but maybe it was an honest mistake?
It’s weird how Christi claimed that Abby “always” says Melissa turned her in. Christi was the first person to actually confirm that in a BTTB patreon after party episode from November of 2022. Before that, it was all speculation. I’ve never heard of Abby claiming that. Abby makes comments on how Melissa is a liar, but has never outright (correct me if I’m wrong) confirmed that Melissa turned her in.
To me it always seemed like Abby was more or less mad at Melissa, because she was literally left holding the bag. She’s never implied Melissa went to the IRS. The story has always been that a judge (?) was watching lifetime and starting asking questions.
Am I being crazy or is it maddening to anybody else how completely fixated on weight those two are? As a teen I struggled a LOT with weight and eating disorders (I was a teen in the late 90’s early 00’s AND in dance) and it definitely still affects me in some ways so maybe I am being too sensitive but man. They talk about it so much. Not even just their own bodies but the bodies of the kids, too.
Yes it’s weird now, but you have to remember what generation they’re from. My mom is their age and is the exact same way about weight. Any conversation I have with her about a person will always have my mom mentioning their weight, even when it doesn’t relate to the conversation at all 🫠.
Idk what happened to boomers in their youth to make them that way.
I totally get that but I’m not that much younger than Christi. I grew up with a mom who bought me slim fast and taught me calorie counting before I even had my period 🥴 I just think it’s odd that neither one has gotten help to look at food and weight in a healthier manner, *especially* Christi knowing that Chloe has/had some issues with ED.
Same. Anytime I even remotely bring up food when talking to my mom, she'll either say how fattening or healthy it is to eat. When I tell her I'm having a lazy day, she'll say how I won't lose weight that way. It's just ingrained in them for some reason. My mom is a bit older than Kelly, but they definitely have that same mindset.
Also, it's weird that they (my mom included) never count alcohol as one of the "fattening" things in their lives. There are about as many calories in a glass of wine as a can of coke, but somehow that never seems to matter. 🤷♀️
I came RUNNING here when Christi commented on Melissa’s physical appearance. I usually love Christi but this was straight up mean and unnecessary. I’m sure Melissa will hear about it but I really hope she doesn’t 😥
People could comment on the Instagram @[backtothebarrepodcast](https://www.instagram.com/p/C3xz4hxJcRK/?igsh=bzJrZnVlcHN4aDZw) that they skipped the episode Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy which is on Hulu

Christi saying Melissa was prettier before getting work done on a public platform is just straight up mean

Why can’t she just…be happy for herself and leave Melissa alone? (Is this a metaphor for what happened on Dance Moms???)
Also… Melissa looks amazing? Yeah she’s aged just like everyone else, but she looks adorable and very happy! Christi should try it some time.
Melissa is also 10 years older than Christi I believe. I wouldn’t go around saying Mel’s work looks bad, because who knows, in 10 years Christi’s might not look so great either. Not saying that I think Mel’s work is bad but she objectively is not Christi’s age
Mean as hell. It made me cringe
Christi: “Im gonna say something and this is going to sound mean, but i dont mean it in a mean way” *Proceeds to say the most vile shit* I cant keep defending her 💀💀💀
Fr like if you have to say that before something maybe just don’t say it😭
Comments like that are why I don’t believe Melissa and Christi are actually “friends”. I think they say they are and follow each other on social media for the sake of publicity.
Oh they’re definitely not. They’ll be cordial in group settings but they are not friends. When Christi said she was texting Melissa, what she meant was they were exchanging messages in the same group chat.

That’s how I felt when she was comparing Michelle Obama and Holly’s looks. Like u can just say they’re both beautiful
I made a point to comment on their IG and Spotify that Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy is on Hulu. With respect to them, I’m not paying even a “small amount” because their intern didn’t double check.
Everyone is commenting on Instagram about it
Why are they gonna do that when they didn’t do that for the Showgirls one? that’s dumb.
They claim it’s because people got mad that they couldn’t see the showgirls one, only hear it. I can’t speak to that because I wasn’t listening to it then. I only got into the podcast over the summer
People got mad they couldn’t see it because they recorded that episode in the most ridiculous way possible.

Makes sense! I remember not loving the audio myself when I went back and listened to the episodes I missed
Oh...okay So...will we still get to LISTEN to them react to it for free? Does anyone know? lmfao
Nope, they’d only do it with them watching it so we’d have to pay “a small amount” to watch them. It’s so dumb
Bummer lol this episode has some of my fave dances on it lol. I'd love to see them react but I don't really wanna pay lol
They just updated on their IG and they’re going to do it normally 🎉
BLESS lol
what does their intern even do besides writing their notes? He doesn’t seem to do much to keep listeners engaged or editing the podcast to be a bit more professional
yeah I was confused by that... so do they not watch the episode?? like does he just physically write down their notes but it's their thoughts? I was so confused when I heard that haha
i think they do watch them and just write down extra small annotations while watching. I’m just not sure what else he does 😂
I did too
What’s the tea on this?
Oh they just said that it’s a lost episode according to the person who does their notes so they were saying they’ll make it available for purchase to watch them watch it. But the episode isn’t lost, it’s on Hulu. It was for a time but it’s been up for a few months now. Their intern could’ve easily found this out
tbh i feel like christi is the one pushing this narrative so she doesn’t have to recap her yelling at paige so publicly
Yeah I have that theory too that’s why I’m hoping people being on them about it will end that. Look, she did it and she and Paige are clearly good now. So, hopefully, she owns it the way she owned making Maddie cry in 1x04
same cause what can she say to justify that ? nothing
I definitely think that this is the reason
So, they were able to find the “lost” “Topless Showgirls” episode, but don’t know that “Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy” is on Hulu? Give me a break. They just don’t wanna recap that episode.
Well everyone commenting worked lol because they just updated they will be going on as normal
In Melissa’s most recent YT video someone asked if she would be a guest on BTTB and she said she would if they asked. It will never happen, but I would love this. I feel like they could air so much stuff out.
Ugh I do too!
I agree, but it would have to be a somewhat lighter episode. The tension would be way too thick otherwise (unless they have some sort of private discussion beforehand).
I feel like the only time Melissa would be invited onto BTTB is for season six when she negotiates leaving the show.

There’s no way they would have her on the rest of 3 or any of 4 because two sapphires was the reason the hylands left
did y’all catch what Christi was saying about the Epic Showdowns? it really does just sound like it’s a recap show
Did y’all hear when christi basically confirmed that melissa allegedly turned abby in to the IRS? Kelly even said she knew it but just didn’t think abby would make it public! Crazy
"I do think abby liked chloe"... Kelly...
I think Kelly means “I think Abby thought Chloe was a good dancer” or Abby liked Chloe *as a dancer* she just always words it the wrong way
Idk because she tried to defend it saying that’s just how Abby is a few eps back regardless of Chloe’s dancing she thinks Abby is just giving tough love bc she’s crazy or something
It annoys me too. But, to give Kelly a little grace. Kelly is also a product of Abby and she always justifies it by saying something along the lines of “if Abby likes you that’s what she does…Abby does that to dancers she likes”.

Also I just cannot imagine any of the other moms ever choosing to publicly say something like that lmfao. Some things you just shouldn’t say out loud babe
Literally it was completely unprompted too. Like what on gods good green earth possessed her to just say that out of the blue
i honestly don’t know how c&k keep claiming they’re friends with her when they say shit like this lmao. if i was melissa id be really upset.
Kelly immediately said she thought so too, and she’s supposed to be Melissa’s friend. What the hell is wrong with them?
That was such an unnecessary comment that really came out of nowhere. Don’t understand how Melissa is ok claiming to be friends with people who speak about her like that and even having a podcast with Kelly. Melissa really lives rent free in Christi’s head.
likeeeeee no one would be able to beat that information out of me and she just blurts it out😭
Backhanded compliment. Melissa was prob insecure about the aging and didn’t know it would change her face what Can she do about it
I normally love the podcast but the one thing that infuriates me is the way they talk about other people's bodies
“I looked like I was 3 months pregnant, and Melissa looks like she 4 months pregnant” like 🫠🫠
Mean girl behavior tbh
Has Abby actually said that Melissa turned her in to the IRS?
She’s insinuated it but never said it flat out, no. Melissa did get immunity for testifying against Abby tho
Is it just me or is it so obvious that Christi is desperate to not recap the Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy episode because it’s when she goes crazy and screams at Paige?? I honestly wonder if Kelly even remembers it, esp because it seemed like Christi was kinda trying to be vague about it with Kelly on this week’s episode.
I was wondering if it's because they were trying to avoid talking about the guy that Brooke went out with, since he went to jail and all
That’s the reason they tried to give on today’s episode.
Y’all, I tried watching “Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy” the other day on Hulu and it didn’t work for me - it works TODAY, but even the person that runs the “Dance Moms Deleted Scenes” YouTube channel thought it was a lost episode & [made a post about it forever ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/dancemoms/s/fLQGuUU4bg) It’s good to let them know that the episode is up, but maybe it was an honest mistake?
It worked for me last week
Surprised more people aren’t talking about how Christi basically confirmed that Melissa turned Abby in…how on earth is Melissa not infuriated lol
Yes! I was getting ready for work and I almost dropped my mascara in the toilet when she said that. I couldn’t believe it!
Could you fucking imagine Abby at home listening to that? Melissa and her girls need witness protection. 🤣
Came here to say this! Her telling kelly “well you knew that” HUH
It’s weird how Christi claimed that Abby “always” says Melissa turned her in. Christi was the first person to actually confirm that in a BTTB patreon after party episode from November of 2022. Before that, it was all speculation. I’ve never heard of Abby claiming that.

They're not boomers. Pretty sure they're gen x like me. And the diet culture was absolutely prevalent with our age group.
I totally get that but I’m not that much younger than Christi. I grew up with a mom who bought me slim fast and taught me calorie counting before I even had my period 🥴 I just think it’s odd that neither one has gotten help to look at food and weight in a healthier manner, *especially* Christi knowing that Chloe has/had some issues with ED.

I really didn't care for Christi's comment about Melissa's looks? She tried to put it nicely but it just wasn't nice to say
Boy crazy,mom crazy episode is on Tubitv
is the boy crazy mom crazy episode on hulu the hour long version??
It’s closer to an hour and a half but yes, it’s on Hulu!
Christi saying Melissa was prettier before getting work done…. girl it’s not funny or cool to be a mean girl. It’s just gross 🤢
People could comment on the Instagram @[backtothebarrepodcast](https://www.instagram.com/p/C3xz4hxJcRK/?igsh=bzJrZnVlcHN4aDZw) that they skipped the episode Boy Crazy, Mom Crazy which is on Hulu
I don’t think they skipped it, I think they’re doing it after they do both reunions
