Christi and Kelly are back for a mini episode, and this time the Dancing With the Stars finale turns into a bigger conversation about reality TV, online backlash, and why fighting the internet almost never works.
In case you missed it, there is A LOT of online drama among the DWTS cast. Christi and Kelly explain why jumping into the comments can make things way worse, not better. They know the feeling of wanting to defend yourself when fans are twisting the story, but they also know what happens next: every word gets picked apart, and the drama just gets bigger.
They also talk through the Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro finale, why Adele’s win made sense, what makes someone more than just a great dancer, and how reality shows are always casting for personality as much as talent.
Plus, Christi and Kelly catch up on New Orleans, Dolly outfits, Housewives Girls Trip, and the strange reality-TV truth they learned the hard way: sometimes your job really is just to show up, drink, and b*tch!
