Too true. I mean, look at their parents. And can you imagine what would happen if Makenzie went through rush someday and acted entitled? Who would even give her recs anyway? The good kind, that is.

Didn't know that they did not go to college. I wonder why not?

Oh and can you imagine Danielle going through Recruitment? Only to not get a top house? But, a lesser second tier chapter, bottom tier chapter or no chapter at all? Perish the thought! Especially, when she considers herself to be prettier than the other girls and feels sorry for them. I would love to see that crying fit when that happens. Looking forward to that reality television show.

Seriously, I can not believe that these parents allow their kids to be filmed like this. I would never want to my kid to shown like the screaming brats these kids are. I would be bloody ashamed of them and me as a parent. And that these parents just let it happen and dismiss it on television is beyond me. Five minutes of so-called-fame is not worth the stupidity of their actions or lack of.

The mother is responsible. 100%. She doesn't have the brains to come in out of the rain and I honestly believe she thinks she gave birth to a toy instead of a person.

Is it too late to give HER a spanking?

$600 Dress!!!
 

$600 for Mia's dress!!! Holy shit! I don't even spend that much on my formals. The kid will wear it once or twice. Maybe more if they are really into the whole pageant tour thing. But that is just so much for such a little girl! That money could go for so many more things.

Some of these Texas towns are so small. I guess that they do not have much to do than practice for pageants. I know Jarrell, Texas is small. They were nearly wiped off the map five years ago after a tornado hit.

Wonder if there is a second hand shop for pageant dresses? Then again, that would be a major faux pas.

Yes, Ava's dad is on my gaydar.

Loved the term "Pageant Cocaine" for Pixie Sticks.

I've seen that kid Mia on a different episode with the same Madonna getup. It offended me as much this time around as last. Call me a prude, but I thought it was nasty.

Agreed! It was tacky too!

I've never had anything to do with pageants, but I know that in Irish dance, most dresses are second hand, until you get to about prelim champion. I paid $2500 for my dress + shipping from Ireland, so I made sure I took more care of that thing than I did myself. I wore my dress for the minimum amount of time I had to at a feis, kept it in the double layer protective case at home, and made sure it was always safe. While it might be so extreme, I'm guessing it's a similar situation in pageant dresses. Once you retire from Irish dance, or you want a new dress, you sell the old one to pay for the new one. It's pretty common to see ID dresses that were owned for 2+ years, but only worn 4-7 times.

YESSSS....I dont even remember seeing her mother..was she even there??

This is a GREAT description of her voice!

I've never watched this show, but the other day it was on my friend's TV and this brat/child was on...I can't even imagine what she's going to be like at 16
