Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"So what were your first impressions of all of us? Oh you guys were mad." I guess having your first day on the job be when the moms are on strike isn't the most ideal way to make a first impression, but for Associate Producer Chris Maragni it was all part of the gig. On this week's episode of Back to the Barre we are joined by Chris for his turn in the spotlight. He worked on three seasons of the show, including Season 4 which means we can get the tea on what really went down behind the scenes. Some of the tea is so piping hot that some of it was even news to Christi and Kelly!Topics include: What happened in the aftermath of Kelly's smack with Abby? How did the song selection for the dances work? Who was the hardest non-Abby cast member to work with? And most importantly, can Christ elaborate on the "Showmances" that Annie implied he took part in? Tune-in for the answers to these questions and much more!Quotes“You had to let [Abby] scream at you and then you had to give it back to her, otherwise you couldn't work with her." (16:44-16:49 | Chris)“I think most of the crew would agree with me; it felt like we had seven little sisters on set with us at all times. They were guilt tripping us to stop smoking cigarettes!” (20:07-20:15 | Chris)“Ok, let's talk about Kelly's fight. Oof, Oh god. This one is fun. you think!?" (32:52-32:59 | Christi, Kelly & Chris)“Why did we never have a wrap party?! I know! We never did anything fun. All out wrap parties ended in jail."

No Guts, No Butts
Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"What kind of dance teacher goes up to the judges and says disqualify my kid?" It's a good question Kelly! But the answer is pretty simple when Abby Lee Miller is on the case! Turns out building a new team isn't so easy, but as the episodes title (Blame it on the New Girl) implies there is at least an easy scapegoat Abby won't hesitate to pounce on.Joining the ALDC for a one time solo venture is Fallon Chapman and her mom Cheryl whom Abby met at the Florida auditions. But Abby begins to sour on her newest dancer as Fallon struggles to pick up the pace on her solo. Abby starts to openly mock Fallon to Cheryl, but her pettiness is nothing compared to when Fallon manages to forget her choreography entirely at competition. It's certainly a bad look, but in classic Abby fashion she manages to make the situation much worse for wear. But for Abby a lot is at stake since if the ALDC wins this week it'll be their 10th consecutive 1st place win, and since Candy Apples is also in attendance she really can't afford to look bad.Meanwhile the girls take a trip to cheer up Mrs. Miller in the nursing home, though Christi is notably barred from attending. Quotes“It's not torture, it's funny!" (01:40-01:42 | Christi)“That was some gay man who wanted to sleep with Kelly, but just the tip... cause he's gay.” (15:36-15:42 | Christi)“Every new mom Brian brought in had big fat fake boobs because he was obsessed with women with fake boobs." (30:45-30:51 | Christi)“Everybody needs to take a shot for Broadway baby making a cameo *indistinct grunting noises from Kelly*" (34:58-35:02 | Christi & Kelly)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!!

Blown Away
Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"She says that it's good when kids lose. Obviously not all kids." observes Kelly since it seems Abby is determined not to let Maddie get outshined, even if she could be bested by her newest teammate. On "No Solo For You", the ALDC travels to Detroit for Masters of Dance Arts with a group routine centered around the fall of Detroit's automotive industry? It's certainly... a choice, but I guess it wouldn't be an ALDC dance without Abby's "unique" takes. Meanwhile Abby assigns solos to Maddie and Kendall. There was a notable lack of a solo for Kalani, which Kira immediately takes issue with. Abby insists Kira is overreacting, but everyone else knows that Abby can't let her star pupil lose. At the very least she could help Kendall... or she can be incredibly rude, same difference! The tole of Abby's behavior begins to weight on Kendall, who struggles to make it through her rehearsal that Abby admits to half-watching.Holly publishes her first book and the ALDC attends a book signing party. Abby manages to belittle Holly's achievement in front of everyone, but Holly pushes back sternly. Sincerely, what is Abby's deal this week? The next thing you know she's going to try and goad Christi into punching her! But Christi is prepared for such an occurrence and won't resort to physical violence. Instead she'll go with the next best thing, blowing on her! Would you be shocked to hear that still made Abby very mad?Quotes“Do you remember the gifts Abby used to give the kids? Yes. Like thongs from Gabrielles." (19:23-19:029 | Christi & Kelly)“She always wanted the kids to wear ALDC [shirts] in Pyramid, because she knew that they were going to film them from the chest up.” (21:06-21:12 | Christi)“It's a big story to convey in a two minute dance. You know what else is a big story to convey in a two minute dance? Slavery." (42:07-42:14 | Christi & Kelly)“That's where Count-stalkula was born."

Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"We like affirmations Annie. We want you to make us feel good about ourselves. Ok, I'll keep that in mind," promises producer Annie, but that's a pretty tall order when you're recounting the slap heard around the world! That's right today we're welcoming back Producer Annie to answer all of your questions about what went down behind the scenes during Kelly's big moment.Questions our lovely bitchettes asked include: Which of the moms knew about Kalani, and how planned out was Kalani's inclusion overall? Did Abby conspire with producers to oust Kelly? What were the productions concerns about the situation, who had a say in what happened next? Most importantly of course, how many "showmances" were happening on-set? Tune-in to discover the answer to these questions and much more!Quotes“Dance Moms fans are mean. I'm grateful or them but they are mean." (01:02-01:06 | Christi)“Well, isn't everyone a little bit actively dying?” (04:35-04:37 | Annie)“Well I didn't know what a [whore bath] was. Well now you do. the more you know! Back to the Barre, providing quality education here." (31:57-32:07 | Christi & Kelly)“Did you guys want Kelly off? Did you plan to get her off the show?
