Things are changing in The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, from its new home at Bravo to one person making a huge impact both on-screen and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an exclusive interview with Bravo\u2019s The Daily Dish, Calah Jackson \u2014 whose tumultuous relationship with Steven McBee Jr. takes a front seat in the series \u2014 described the \u201cchallenging\u201d aspects of filming. As she seeks the McBee family\u2019s approval, there have already been some major strains in Season 2’s premiere episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of her relationship with Steven Jr. in the Season 2 premiere, she told producers, \u201cWe\u2019ve gone through a lot together, but we love each other, and the only time we\u2019ve had major issues is when other people get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what does that mean now that Steven Jr.\u2019s mother, Kristi McBee, is in the picture this season? Read on to learn what Calah and Kristi herself had to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meet Kristi McBee, Businesswoman and Loving Mom
\u201cIt\u2019s kind of exciting that Kristi is in Season 2, just because she\u2019s the polar opposite [and] different than Steve McBee is,\u201d Calah told The Daily Dish. \u201cAnd, so, it\u2019s cool because you get another insight into their family dynamic and just how different their mom is and how different[ly] she approaches things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristi, the no-nonsense Mama McBee taking a step forward in Season 2, will help head the McBee brothers now that Steven Jr., the eldest, has taken the reins of the family farm in his father\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Jesse McBee, Cole McBee, and Brayden McBee are also part of the picture. Disputes over their business and the stressors of their personal lives have shaped the real-life cowboys\u2019 lives, and there is no one like their mother to help them remember what matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s definitely, like, the mediator [and] peacemaker for the boys, and the one to kind of help them through their emotional issues,\u201d Calah continued. \u201cSo, it\u2019s cool that you get to see that side of the family dynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While Kristi doesn’t make her season debut in the first episode, she’s ready for audiences to meet her \u2014 and see a new side to her sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristi is the President of Lan-Tel Communications, which she told The Daily Dish during Season 2’s filming that she acquired after her divorce from Steve Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“[The business] was maxed out in its line of credit, we were getting shut off from vendors, our reputation was horrible, and so I brought on a partner that I trust completely, and who has the same work ethic and kinda the same goals as I do and we basically spent the first 12 to 15 months digging our self out\u2026 We\u2019ve grown the business three times the size it was now.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And with Steven Jr. working hard to rally his brothers to expand the business, Kristi’s insight is more important than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristi loves the “grind” of her business and is happy to help her sons with the “communication” parts of their day-to-day work, but she clarified that it doesn’t compare to the challenges of being a mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s way harder than running a business,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They don\u2019t have a good work-life balance, and that\u2019s what worries me \u2026 it doesn\u2019t impress me to tell me that you worked 80 hours in a week, you know?” she said. “Impress me by telling me how you made your job more efficient and work smarter, not harder.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A challenging and eye-opening second season<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calah prefaced by saying she\u2019d only watched the first couple of episodes, so she wasn\u2019t sure how her relationships with the other McBees would play out. She said, \u201cFor better or for worse, we\u2019re just putting it out on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the recent premiere, she described feeling on the outs with Cole and Jesse and their significant others, Kacie Adkison and Alli Ventresca, since she hadn\u2019t heard from them since the tragic passing of her younger sister, Mallory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think Season 2 is just a little bit challenging for me overall, but it\u2019s just cool to see the family dynamic,\u201d Calah continued. \u201cI\u2019ll leave it at that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Kristi, she thinks audiences are “gonna see another side to my boys.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Because [some of their behavior in Season 1], that\u2019s not the boys I raised, and that\u2019s not the boys I know,” she added. “I\u2019m always proud of my boys, but that one was rough\u2026 that\u2019s not who I want them to be, and so I\u2019m excited for everybody to see who they really are.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Calah & Galyna’s ongoing friendship
Although audiences will have to wait to see how things between Calah, Kristi, and the boys unfold, Calah said she remained close with the others and even made a new friend in Galyna Saltkovska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am trying to be a friend to her [in Season 2],\u201d Calah said. \u201cShe was going through a rough patch, and [I was] trying to help her see through some things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audiences saw some of the new friendship in Season 2, Episode 1, when the ladies discussed Steven Jr. and his father and all the drama in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t hold back,\u201d she teased to The Daily Dish of her fellow cast members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
