I admit, I was pretty put irritated by the idea of yet another reality show set in Georgia that makes us look ridiculous. So I put off watching Honey Boo Boo Chile for as long as possible. But once I gave in…I …um sort of love it! TLC thankfully gives just a few scripted moments (like last night’s wig shop visit) and most of the time just lets America’s favorite redneck family be themselves. Despite the high brow folks who think the poor ignorant family is being exploited and mocked, the reality is that this family knows they are fat, and rednecks and don’t exactly eat a healthy diet, and fit a lot of negative stereotypes, and they embrace it. They practically scream, “Yes, we are rednecks, AND WHAT? You better redneckonize!” I love them for that.
Kris Jenner on the other hand apparently doesn’t love it. According to “a source” close to Kris, Radar Online reports that Kris thinks June is exploiting her daughter and is a terrible mother. The horrors of putting a child in a few beauty pageants! I reckon Kris thinks she should be getting those older girls in home porn if she wants to make the big bucks like her daughter!
Are y’all watching this?
Yes and I love it. It makes me feel better about love and hip hop and everyone thinking that this is how all of us conduct our lives . TLC has leveled the playing field with Honey Boo Boo and let’s not forget the gypsy wedding show .
I enjoy it.. Here is the thing, we in America worship the rich, we think our lives suck because we arent rich, yet here is a family that isnt rich, but seem happy, they seem to love each other (although Junes attitude to marriage seemed odd till I found out that the other girls Daddies were all jailbirds, so is sugar bear but seems to have cleaned up his act)…
They spend time together, support each other, and sacrifice ( those pageants are expensive!) for the sake of Alana..Unlike a lot of the kids on those Pageant shows its obvious that Alana LOVES it, she loves dressing up and being a complete ham..
So would I rather watch real (if a little more low brow than even I go) family or would I rather watch a bunch of rich vacuous family that seem to have nothing but disdain for each other and for everyone else…
I pick honey boo boo…
I’d much rather watch Honey BooBoo than the Kardashians. For Kris Jenner to say that makes me think – Hello, Pot. Meet Kettle.
I tried watching this show but made the mistake of eating dinner while it was on. Let’s just say that episode where they showed the crust on the mother’s neck put me off my food. So since then I have stayed away from the show. Kris is just trying to get herself back in teh spotlight since this family has taken America’s interest. She needs to stop worrying about how the Kartrashians can make another buck and worry about what her youngest 2 are up to!
I am not interested in watching BooBoo, and never will unless there is a marathon on TLC, and I have had 4 teeth pulled out and recovering with a bottle of Vicodin
However it does surprise me how hypocritical Pimp Mom of Whore Kim is about Pimp Mom of Boo Boo, but pimps don’t like competition on their street corner.
I friggin love the show. This kid as at a perfect age where she just feels pure joy at small things. And her quick humor and underlying kindness are just so genuine. We love it. Mr. tC even welled up a little when glitzy had to go. I’m putting the bugs on June’s toe out of my mind.
I haven’t watched this as I had the unfortunate luck of catching the episode where they gutted road kill and lost my lunch. BUT I LOVED her (them) on toddlers and tiaras and knew she was destined for stardom!! I only wish 2 things for them:
1. that TLC isn’t the one doing the exploiting and are actually paying them in real money and endorsements.
2. that the real money and endorsements do only good and no harm to their lives.
Excuse me, Ms. Jenner! You have the balls to criticize anyone in the world about exploiting their children….LITERALLY UNBELIEVABLE! Your daughters walk around literally with all their body parts hanging out for all the world to see, “perform” every minute of every day to draw more attention to their ugly bodies and you can actually stand up in front of the world and criticize this mother???? Puleeese!
In other news, the sky is blue.
So…Chickadee gave birth to a little baby girl…with three thumbs. Kidding not. I guess they took it well. June said it makes her even more special to them.
yes, and I chose not to blog about birth defects. I may have been the only one.
