I've watched. These moms are something else. I love when the one mom last night said "I think my daughter wants it almost as much as me." Almost being the key word.

Thanks so much for starting this thread. I watched last week...the first episode and lordylordy. I feel so bad for some of those kids. Wonder if after watching, the fathers of some of these these kids will want to take over more of the parenting. There are a few kids that seemed not to want to be there and are being uber pushed by there mothers/fathers. I found the show somewhat sad but I'll look for it this weekend. I wish I would have DVR'd it.

I saw last night's show. There were maybe one or two kids that I could see making it in Hollywood. The others need to start working on getting a good education.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I had no idea this show existed! So now I've made it part of my DVR schedule! I guess I missed one episode then? The one that showed up on my DVR this morning (after I scheduled it last night) was the one where the kids had to do a voice over for a cartoon fly. Which one is Rocky? The cowboy hat mother? Yup, she really is....um....interesting. It seems like she is more interested in getting on camera herself, rather than getting her child noticed. Of the bottom two, I would have kept the other ones, cause at least they look like they would have taken the critique and tried to learn from it. Cowboy-Hat Mom I don't think will ever get it. Neither will the one with the "Shirley Temple Wanna Be." Sorry for the labeling of the kids/parents. I don't know their names yet after only one viewing!

I wish someone would smack Gigi. She's a very nasty, vendictive type of person who will pick at you just for the fun of it. And the mother with the blond poofy hair is terrible to her daughter. I feel sorry for the kid. Yeah, Who, Rocky is the cowboy hat mom. She toned it down some tonight, thank goodness, but she still needs to back off her kid. It was her fault the kid didn't learn her lines.

I totally agree with everything you said Twinkie! Rocky and Gigi both seem to be in this for themselves. Gigi should go on "Flavor of Love" and Rocky on "Rock of Love" and leave their kids out of their wanna be life styles.

Surfgirl, great ideas about where to send Rocky and Gigi! Some of these moms are incredible. Rocky doesn't bother me as much as Gigi does. Rocky just seems neurotic where Gigi seems like Twinkie said, vindictive and mean.

I don't like Rocky,,,but I couldn't understand GiGi getting all bent out of shape saying it was a weave in her hair. Why would she care?

I don't think a single one of these kids has talent, and I don't think there's a single parent who doesn't need a smack upside their head, lol!

Hukdonreality, ITA. But I have to say considering who is parenting these kids I'd expect them to be more obnoxious and they aren't too bad, considering. But I agree none have that "it" factor. I was watching with my DD and she commented that she's seen better actors in her grade school years doing Thanksgiving day plays and other crappy plays.

"Rocky" aka pushy Mom with cowboy hat and weave is an actress. No wonder this show looked so staged! You'd think we as reality TV nuts would have picked up on this and complained, lol! I think it's time for this show to go off the air, pee-yew! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0105465/

She started out the program telling them she was an actress herself and so already knew all the ins and outs about auditions. That's part of why she won't take any criticism; she thinks she's a pro. I've seen a lot of those movies. Interesting how she almost does Horror movies exclusively! That's hilarious on there how it shows the first 5 episodes and then "3 more". Don't have to wonder is she and her daughter lose for the next 3 episodes- lol! I click on this one because she stars in it... The Lusty Busty Babe-a-que (2008) (TV)... but theres no details. Suppose it could be the Playboy Channel?

Anyone still watching this? In the Oliver Twist segment. I was just flinching when Gigi was fixing her daughter's costume, ripping and yanking at it. All the while while holding scissors in her hand just inches away from her daughter's face. And you know, if she had taken a chunk out of her daughter's face, somehow I think it would have been the show's fault. Gigi's daughter, OTOH, seems to be trying to have a head on her shoulders, even to the point of offering her Mom some sage advice. Gigi goes off about a contestant, saying she is going to "take her down." And Alai is trying to bring her back to earth with things like, "are you sure that's what God would want you to do?" These parents need to listen to their kids. The kids have a lot more wisdom than the adults do!

This show has just started up in my neck of the woods. I hope its more staged than real,because someone from child services should be taking a long hard look at these so-called adults and the guilt and pressure they are putting on their kids. The one girl who forgot the words to her song, seemed to trying to tell her mother i dont want to do this! Before she went on, mama told her to get out there and win them their dream house! Other parents obviously wanted to be in show business themselves from werent good enough and now forced the dream on their kids. They emphasize how much work they are putting into the kids 'career' and how much money they've spent and how much the kids 'owe' them! No wonder so many child stars end up such a mess.

not one of those kids has the 'it' factor. Most of them dont even have talent, everything feels forced. This show is a trainwreck. I cringe at how all but one of the moms treat their kids. I would better a dollar that kid wins. (she won Oliver Twist) even though she is best of this lot I still don't ever see her being a star.

How about Danny's sidekick, Markie?????Yikes!!!!Talk about a trainwreck!!! I don't think any of the kids have the "it" either except the one that won the Oliver challenge too. She's really good. I think Markie just picks one each week to either "knock" or "praise"....One week they are great, the next they are way off the mark....come on. Also, they are in different age groups. Not sure how old they all are, but a few are 12 & some others look younger. The moms do look pretty bad (especially Gigi & Rock). The kids do seem to handle everything better, but maybe the editing makes the parents look worse ????? Who knows???

So glad to see Gigi gone. I feel bad for her kid though. Interesting that the two kids who got the most flack early on (one for being too "Shirley Temple" and one for being too bratty), were the first two declared safe and into the finals. Of course, that could also be so the show could capitalize on the drama between Gigi and Pamela. Cheyenne may be the strongest actor, but I'm really tired of hearing it from her. Its one thing to be confident. Another to be hearing from the person about how good they are. Not sure who I'd pick to win. I guess I really don't care, when I really think about it! LOL.

Anyone watch the finale last night? All along I thought Cheyenne was really good but last night I really couldn't stand her or her mother.........so glad she LOST!!! I noticed at the end in the credits it had the year "2007"; this must have been taped a while ago. McKenizie's mom seemed the most normal to me - glad she won.

I watched. I agree, Cheyenne was getting really unlikable at the end. Her superior attitude was a real turnoff. I'm glad McKenizie won too. And that's funny, cause one of the first eps I watched, I really wanted her off cause I couldn't stand the Shirley Temple Wanna Be thing!

I watched, too. Ditto what has already been said. I felt like I didn't care for McKenzie early on, but really liked her the best towards the end. They had the best mother-daughter bond between them, too. The editing was obvious. I felt like they wanted the viewers to not like Cheyenne and Helene so really played up their negative attitudes. Not to say they didn't have them, I just don't remember seeing it shown as strongly before.

I agree Smokey. It was clear they liked McKenzie's mother way better....she was a little harsh on her daughter too on a previous episode but Helene came off as too much of a know-it-all!

The one thing I kept thinking when Helene was talking about how they were better and they had more experience was.. if you are so good and have been doing this since the child was 1, why did you need to go on this show? Catty I know..

The right team won. I watched the -where are they now- clips of the final 3 on VH1. All are happy and it seems like Chyenne is working more than the others. No mention of if MCKenzie's contract came to much.

I watched this show all season and don't think we'll really see much of any of them in the future. It was SO scripted! The Moms were all lunatics and the kids had so little talent. Next season (if there is one), I'd suggest a name change to "I'm The Only One Who Thinks My Kid's a Star."

Whoami, you mentioned that you didn't know about the show until someone started this thread. For anyone out there who loves reality shows and really LOVES this type of trainwreck reality show, DVR "The Soup" hosted by Joel McHale every week. It's a half-hour weekly recap on E! that totally makes fun of reality shows, stars and the stupid stuff that is on television. I won't miss McHale, and my husband watches, too. He's the one who found The Soup and got me hooked. By watching The Soup I learned about Rock the Cradle, the latino/latina star-making show (Viva Hollywood? Can't remember), etc., and it shows the funniest parts of shows that are just too dreadful to actually record and watch, like Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, and numerous telenovelas that have hysterically ridiculous scenes. The Soup also reports weird celebrity news; it's offbeat, humorous and completely worth investing a half-hour a week to keep you updated on all the "important" entertainment news!

Mistysmoke, I yelled the same thing at my TV when I heard Helene griping about how she'd been pursuing her daughter's career for ten years, too! She shouldn't have needed the TV show if she were such an expert! I agree that Danny picked the best mother/daughter team. He repeatedly said he was looking for the most talented child/most potentially-talented child whose mother was most capable of guiding her child through the difficulties that arise as a result of being a child star. Beauty-pageant mom (what was her name?) really had the best relationship with her daughter and had good values that she was actively trying to instill in her child. I screamed at the TV whenever Gigi would rant and rave about <66> someone up over some imagined slight, and I cringed at Rocky's horribly inappropriate comments and her meltdown in the diary room tapes. I imagine that Danny and the judges had access to the video of goings-on in the house. It would make me happy, happy, HAPPY if the BACHELOR had access to video footage of stuff that goes on in the house where the desperate females stay, too. It would make the Bachelor show even more interesting--and he'd be able to weed out the absolute psychos even sooner that he seems to able to do. The bachelor probably already gets to see video that the girls think he doesn't have access to, but I'd love to hear him admit to it and tell those shrieking banshees how much impact their behavior has on his decisions about whom to give roses and whom to give the BOOT!!

This is so funny! The other night I happened to be up at 3am & a movie came on Sci-fi called Raptor...so I was watching it (I love those corny movies) & I was thinking the lady in it looked so familiar & I figured out it was Rocky!! I had seen a clip from this movie just last week after Hukdonreality posted the link. I didn't watch the whole movie but it was a goody!
