I really want to see this one. Though I know I will probably be yelling at my tv screen before it is over.

Is it only following pagent moms/dad or will we see other areas of showbiz?

Is anyone watching this? It's only the first commercail break and it's already freaking me out... $20,000 a year on pageants? 7 people (or was it 7 kids and 9 people) living in a 2-bedroom NYC apartment? At least the mother of the little girl on It's So Raven (or whatever) seemed decent. And I'd hate to hear what Simon would say about that boy singer...

When you do, would you reach through your TV and smack Jordan the wanna-be-actress-with-an-attitude? Thanks, 'preciate it.

OMG!! that pagent mom freaked me out. When she talked to her child she "seemed" to be saying the right things, but when she talked to the camera, she was psycho! The stage dad with all the kids...the poor wife! The mom of the little girl on That's So Raven seemed to have it together. I feel badly for her cause one of her better comments has gotten twisted on the commercial and makes her sound awful. That brat child was flipping me out because the way she was talking about lunch sounded just like something my 14 ds says..even my daughter noticed! (a scary admission of my parenting skills...praying it's the age!). The only person who really seemed to want it was the little boy in Florida.

I would like to see it but I don't think Bravo Canada is airing it. Anyone in Canada heard if this is airing here???

It was sad. That Nutter Guy?!? With the seven or eight kids and the silent mom? Don't get me started. Pageant mom thinks she is is a regular mom, but she needs to open her eyes. Who goes to these toddler pageants anyway? Ick. The blond Jordan girl who is mouthy and bosses her mom around, and mom has to apologize to her for not being on her acting schedule? How does that happen?

I have it recording now.. There was a documentary about one mom and little girl in the south and all the pageant stuff that was appalling.. can't remember the title of that one, think it might have been on HBO several years ago. I expect that this will be more of the same

The Nutter guy obviously wants fame for himself so he drags his family along like they are the ones who want it. That Jordan girl, she was just a brat. The pageant mom, she was just the brat in that scenario. It is just so hard to watch. The one boy when he lost, just wanted to cry so badly. My heart breaks for these kids. How many of them truly want to be doing this and how many of them have parents that truly want to be doing this?

I just don't get the whole pageant thing. I just don't understand the point of dressing a 4-year-old up like a 24-year-old. The mother said they did it because the girl wanted to, but since they started when she was 12- months old, I'm thinking maybe it started out as Mom's idea, right? The Nutters...man, I feel sorry for those kids. Dad's acts like a loon and Mom doesn't stand up to him. I can't pass Jordan's behavior off as a teenager thing. I *never* talked to my mother like that. Never. I felt sorry for the younger daughter, and had a definite "Failed the test to get some attention" vibe. The boy singer and the girl on the TV show looked like they enjoyed what they were doing. The only Mom who seemed to have it together was the girl's, though. I really liked the way they interacted and how laid back the Mom seemed about it all.

I felt so sorry for little Isaiah Nutter last night when he was saying how he was doing it for his father. He was crying because he didn't really want to do the auditioning but he didn't want to disappoint his father. And his wife just sits there quietly. Too sad... Shane looks like a little Stepford child with a fake grin plastered on his face. Teenage Jordan, I think, is just trying to mask any feelings she has by coming across very brash. I still think her mom needs to be a little tougher with her when she is saying mean things to her but I think basically, Jordan is an insecure teenager. The pageant mom, well, you could go on and on about her!

I missed most of the Nutters. I saw the previews with the Dad blowing up, what was that all about? I got so tickled at Shane's mom "he's working on an album, he's trying to get a tv show". I agree about Jordan. That pagent mom......I wonder what she is thinking as she is watching? I still love the mom and little girl from That's so Raven.

I am not even really sure why Duncan Nutter got so upset. (and isn't the name Nutter so fitting?) He said the contract had typos and he just starting losing it and then it became "well, my wife isn't even sure she wants this". It went from getting angry at the producers to getting all upset with his wife for really not wanting to do acting.

Did the producers drop him? I think the guy is definitely psycho. And that mom reminds me of Andrea Yeager.

They were very upset that here they were trying to work on a show for him and he was insulting them. Of course, when he started "discussing" with his wife , they realized the problem wasn't really with them. Everyone of his kids, all said they did all this for their dad. What man in his right mind moves his family from their big home and security and throws them in a two bedroom apartment?

That Nutter guy freaks me out - along with the pageant mom. I can't believe he moved his whole family for something that ONLY HE wants! That seems sooo wrong. I may have missed it, but did any of the kids express true interest in entertainment? When he was getting all bent out of shape over the contract, he seemed like a Diva. And then he turns it all around onto his wife? Those producers should just drop him. Didn't sound like that great of a show. (btw - I am ONE person in a one bedroom in NYC and don't have enough room. I couldn't imagine 9 people! Isn't it illegal or something to have opposite sex children of a certain age sharing bedrooms?) And the pageant mom. I had seen the HBO America Undercover on Pageants. It seems like all the moms are like "I don't force her to do this. She loves it. If she didn't like it, I wouldn't force her". But yet it always seems like the kids are NOT happy. Maybe they like the attention if they win, but they seem miserable during the hours of preparation. I agree with the "Stepford" comment for that young boy. Have there been any shots of him where he sounds good singing? I haven't seen any. Poor kid. I enjoy watching the young girl that's on Raven. Her mom seems grounded and the kid seems talented. I was impressed with her performance in the acting class!

At least the the boy, Shane and the little girl, Jordan have talent and seem to really want to be in the business. they also seem to have a good support system. The 14 yr. old girl, I think her name is Jordan doesn't really seem all that interested. I told my daughter last night while watching it that the pageant mom should take that little girl home and let her be a little girl. You know that pageant mom is doing all this for herself. What is more pathetic that a grown woman standing at the back of a hotel conference room and making all those silly gestures? It is so sad. The Nutter family, excluding the Dad do not want to be in the business. My only hope is that pageant mom and Nutter Dad see themselves on the show and really realize how much they are doing this for themselves. I do not believe they have the best interest of their children in mind.

I sure don't want to see a Nutter family show.. I also like the mom and acting daughter best, yet even that little girl doesn't seem all that happy, really.. but she at least has some talent.
