The Penthouse with Peta

Victoria Arlen sits down with Peta and Sharna for one of the most raw and powerful conversations yet. From being in a vegetative state for four years to becoming a Dancing with the Stars finalist just one year after relearning how to walk, her story is unimaginable. 
Victoria opens up about the darkest chapters of her life, including moments where she hits rock bottom, questions everything, and faces people who told her her life wasn't worth living. She shares what it actually takes to keep going when there's no roadmap, what it means to carry "big energy" in a world that tells women to shrink, and the real cost of pushing yourself to survive and succeed.
The girls talk about how she landed DWTS, what that experience meant so early in her recovery, and the pressure that came with it. Victoria also reveals her recent relapse in December, the mental toll it took, and how she pulled herself back from a place where she almost gave up.
There's no manual for being a miracle — and Victoria breaks down what resilience really looks like behind the scenes.

In Part 2, Artem Chigvintsev sits down with Peta and Sharna going beyond the ballroom and into the moments that changed everything for him. He opens up about the worst night of his life, how it impacted him personally, and what it's been like navigating the aftermath.
From fatherhood to rebuilding, Artem shares what his day-to-day looks like now, the mindset shifts he's had to make, and how his priorities have evolved. He gets real about life after Dancing with the Stars, the pressure that comes with it, and whether a return to the dance floor is even on the table.
They also get into the stories that don't usually get told—what it's like when the cameras are off, how public moments follow you into private life, and what it takes to move forward when everything changes.
This is a raw, honest look at Artem today—and the road he's still figuring out.
This is Part 2 of Artem's Story.

Rachel Recchia sits down with Peta for a real, stripped-back conversation about life inside — and after — reality TV. From filming chaos to the emotional toll of constant scrutiny, Rachel reflects on what it actually feels like to live your dating life on camera. It also somehow takes a wild turn to foot fetishes and wikiFeet (they reveal their wikiFeet scores!)
After appearing on four dating shows in just three years(!), she opens up about the pressure, the insecurity, and the moments that didn't make it to air — including being told she was "boring." She talks about questioning people's intentions, and navigating a world where not everyone is there for the right reasons.
Rachel also shares what it was like seeing Clayton again, the betrayal she felt, and how her perspective has evolved since. Plus, behind-the-scenes insight into showmances and who's genuinely looking for love vs. clout.
Peta adds her own perspective, revealing what's real (and what's not) when it comes to showmances from her experience on Dancing with the Stars.
This is an honest conversation about fame, relationships, and figuring out who you are when the cameras are always rolling.
Note: This episode was filmed before the recent Taylor/Bachelorette fallout — giving a rare look at where things stood before everything shifted.
