Where do we draw the line at makeup and hair color for little girls? Does a 13 year old girl need highlights, makeup and mini-skirts? Does a 6 year old?

obiviously that lady thinks it is perfectly fine. I'm sure she was putting makeup on her 11 month old. It is crazy that they can continue to make this show...there are way too many people who are set in their weird ways LOL I love this show!!

Chilli, my questions were, how extreme can they make the swap, and how could the pageant family do their daughter's homework? And the dad says she'll be ok cause she's gonna be a dentist. She's not gonna have much of a practice if her parents continue to do her schoolwork - she'll know nothing when she gets in my mouth! I just couldn't believe how they entitled her simply because she was beautiful. Glad she ended up having some fun with the 'feminist pig', as her dad called the sub-mother. I asked my DD, 8, if the feminist dad was ever gonna put that baby down. lol We talked about being a combination of smart and "beautiful", and that no matter how beautiful you were, you're nothing without knowledge. I guess I agreed with the 'feminist pig', but am much less rigid about my daughter wanting to primp, and play with make-up, etc. She doesn't go out of the house like that - like I said she's only 8 - but so what if she wants to be frou-frou and I haven't seen a make-up brush in years. lol

Ah, but if they didn't pick extremes then the show would be boring. We stopped watching this show a couple of seasons ago (not that we watched regularly) and watched tonight. We realize that they choose extreme opposites, granted, and that they also choose people who are VERY quirky. Still, the rudeness (by pageant dad) was unnecessary. I would bet that 'feminist' dad did put the baby down, from time to time. From what we could tell, he worked all day, right? Perhaps he was just holding her to keep her out of the pageant <mom's> makeup wielding clutches? LOL <100>

My 3 year old GD likes to play with nail polish and "lipstick" (chapstick usually). We usually have a mani/pedi day when she comes over, she has her "princess" dress that she likes to wear and she carries a purse because gramma gave it to her. Gramma filled it with mini-tissues, chapstick, a mirror, mini-lotion, etc. before I gave it to her. The next time I saw it the stuff I put in it was gone and it was filled with matchbox cars. LOL However, she won't be wearing makeup for a long, long time and I seriously doubt she'll be allowed to color her hair. My other GD who was 15 looked like a street walker when she was 13 IMO. I felt horrible for the beauty queen because her father appears to be determined to keep her ignorant of book knowledge. He said as long as you're beautiful people will want to help you. My DH walked in right at the end and saw the last few minutes only. He asked how long do they think her looks will last.

The funniest part of that show was when feminist dad asked his 11-month old baby girl if she wanted to be a beauty queen and the baby said, "No" and dad said, "THANK you." lol

Well, all 11 month old babies know exactly what they want out of life, don't they?

I just finished watching this on the DVR and I'm embarrassed to say the pageant family is from here. They got all their friends together at a local restaurant tonight to watch the episode. If I were any of that girl's teachers I'd be making her do all of her assignments right there at school now. Anything brought from home would be suspect. Seriously, she won't ever have a better job than waitress if she can't make it out of high school.

I didn't pay strict attention but didn't she say she was 15 and then didn't she say she was a freshman in high school? Shouldn't you be at least a sophomore at 15?

I would love to be a fly on the wall when her 'friends' and school buddies confront her about stripping down while daddy sprays her and talks about how hot and sexy she is. Oh wait, that was said later in private when he was watching her on tv. YIKES!! those parents were freaky and obsessive about the daughter. She was so robotic and seemed to be fake, it was strange. The dad was so bizarre in his behaviour. So threatened. Interestingly, I'd love to know how looks became so important to those two. Dad is obese and average looking/ Mom is heavy, dresses terribly and wears makeup like a kewpie doll. She also looked a heck of a lot like Camilla Parker Bowls (Prince Charles) Same horseface (I think that is the term for long faced long jawed) In contrast the other house seemed almost as bizarre but in a different way. Did you see the clouds of black smoke coming from that guy's vehicle?? no wonder he is trying to teach all the kids how to fix the vehicle LOL I bet something needs to be done every week and you can Pretend it is a "lesson", not that you are a screwup who is too cheap to buy a reliable functional safe vehicle. Just my deranged Opinion

ChiliWili - I was 15 at the end of my sophomore year in high school and was 1-2 years younger than my classmates since I started school when I was 5.

I was 15 at the end of my sophomore year too but I didn't start school until I was 6 in the first grade. My son is a sophomore now and he is 15. All my other kids were 15 year old sophomores.

I love this show--I laughed my head off. They are always so rude to the visiting wife. It's terrible. Seems like some people think anything goes in their own homes and are so resistent to change that they lash out big time. The father in the beauty pageant home was esp. rude. Why sign up for the show if you're that set in your ways? Still, I don't take it that seriously and just laugh my head off, like when 6-year old Clara told everyone "I'm sick of all of you. Let her have her week." And the baby girl on the hip of the other father, lol!

The pageant daughter was not even all that beautiful. The feminist daughter was actually the more beautiful child. Pageant girl had something very strange about her mouth and teeth. And speaking of teeth, Dad did not say she would become a dentist. Dad was making fun of women who had jobs and throwing up the most ridiculous thing he could think of, like HIS gorgeous daughter was going to grow up to be a dentist.

I loved the pageant wave at the end. So robotic lol. I thought the eldest "feminist" daughter was fine the way she is. <el>

the saddest part of the show for me was when the pageant queen had to do her own project and couldn't even spell America. Then later when her dad was helping her she couldnt even read the word crutches. They are seriously damaging her by not allowing her to get the education she deserves. They think they are helping but in the end where can she go when she cant spell or read basic words?

Roxi, ITA with everything you said. It was appalling! And to think (see Twinkie's post) they actually made a party out of watching the episode. Think they had a clue AFTER they saw themselves? Probably not, given their values.

The pageant dad said something like "Why should she do her own school work. When you are this beautiful you can always get everyone else to do things for you". Yikes..I really didn't think she was that great looking, and what will happen to her when she "ages out" of the childrens pageant circut? I think the pageants are an outlet for mom and dad. I thought all the kids in that pageant were scary looking with all that makeup on.

Maybe they should spend some of the money that they use on pageants to get her a tutor to improve her reading.

pageant daughter is so fake to be only 15 (bleached white hair, heavy makeup, fake sprayed on tan, etc). The eye rolling at the waitress in the restaurant was too much. I agree that the feminist daughter was very attractive - naturally. She was stunning with her hair fixed & light makeup. My fav. kid though was the spunky 6 yr old.

I missed it, and the episodes aren't on ABC.com. Is it (and Supernannyu) going to be repeated?
