MTV's Tiara Girls
 

So it's 1st episode was this past week... not as good as I expected, but maybe it'll get better with time. We'll see I suppose. Interesting idea though since America seems to be fascinated by pageants and all things beauty.

it was ok i guess, but I'd definetely take 8th and Ocean over it:P

I personally found it annoying.

The little I caught, the parents and her pageant coach were more "into it" than she was.

Her dad actually had the gull to say that he was going to call her principal and get her out of her work! WTF!!!!????!!!!!! I was absolutely appalled by that. Obviously these parents are living their dreams through their kids

Seriously, thousands of girls/women do pageants. Only 1 gets to be miss "city", only 1 gets to be miss "county" and only 1 gets to be miss "state". I get that there are other pageants out there but let's face it these womens goals aren't to just win Miss po-duck, their goal is to become miss "state" so they can go on to Miss USA or Miss America. And we only have 1 of each of those.

I guess her parents thought they could buy her a crown. She's just another spoiled brat riding on daddy's coat-tails who thinks money can buy everything.

What kind of speech coach was that? When I heard her little sing-songy introduction about pickle juice and pot bellied pigs, I knew she wouldn't get very far. The judges can see right through that kind of canned speech.. especially one delivered with no heart.

She wasn't at all as pretty as the other contestants (in fact, I didn't think she was pretty.. period!) and her personality had a hard edge to it, so it's no wonder that she didn't make the cut. But, c'mon... at least have some grace about losing. Instead, she went on a tearful rant about being gyped. She succeeded in embarrassing herself on national TV. She made herself look like the spoiled brat/sore loser that she is.

Yes, I admit, I find these types of shows a guilty pleasure.. but this show, "Daddy's Spoiled Girl" and "Sweet 16" are sending out very alarming messages to teenage girls. They are teaching that money and looks buys you everything.. including friends. How sad.

My sentiments exactly.

i totally got sucked into an episode of this and sweet sixteen on sat. they aren't great, but you end up watching even though you know its kind of silly. i like sweet 16 better though.

That's so how I am. I actually didn't like this show very much at all, but I just couldn't help but to watch...

Her parents (Dad) bought her a $3600 feather gown that she's not going to wear even though she said she would. She had a F-U-N-K-Y-A-S-S attitude as though she should have won. The child has no humility or modesty. When she didnt make the top 10 (which I knew she wouldn't) she sulked and then cried croc tears
:rolleyes: and pouted and then pronounced that she didnt want to go back on stage. Girl please:rolleyes:

This is a PRIME example of how NOT to raise children

The correct price of the gown and here is the link to the Miss Florida Teen USA webpage. She is listed with the other contestants.miss florida teen usa Scroll down on the right side to "Meet the Contestants"

the Miss FL Teen pageant is ALWAYS chock full of drama!!!! i'm sorry I'm going to miss seeing the pageant!

Seriously I think they went out and looked for the worst pageant people out there... they need to show a winner already. All these girls are no good.

Old? Why do you say that? The girls looked like teens to me.

tonights show was the first one i saw that had a winner, then my cousin (from del rio) told me a the scores were recounted and in reality did not win...

i thought she did really well struttin' her stuff!

I was starting to think the whole series was going to be of losers as a joke.

Poor girl. I too was glad they FINALLY had a winner. It kinda stinks to hear that they still don't. Can we PLEASE have a REAL winner next week? :p

So a new season is upon us.

Did anyone catch that gem last night? April honey, you didn't win not because you're African-American...it's because your interview sucked.

You treated your coaches like shit, you were totally unappreciative of those who actually were dumb enough to sponsor your no-talent ass, and you have no clue of what being on time means.

I love watching these tragic people.

Ditto. Her interview did suck. :D

The episode after, I sorta liked that girl because she wasn't the super skinny typical type and really had no problem with it but her mom did.

I really hated how April blamed her loss at the fact that she's not a Barbie. I LOL-ed at her interview question. So appropriate -- it's as if MTV told the judges to ask her that question!

The 2nd episode (the NC one) was originally aired last season but this was the first time I got to see the whole thing. I don't think I'd be able to handle a mother like that. Ditto on her curves. That's real confidence right there, and I thought that she still looked great in her swimsuit.

I hadn't seen this episode before either. I agree with you regarding the swimsuit. Also, I'm glad she loves her mom but will stick up for herself and not put up with the mom's snide remarks.

I was soooooo mad at that chick April. True lots of times women of color aren't viewed as highly or have a more difficult time succeeding simply b/c of skin color. However, she just had a terrible work ethic and was over confidant. Her singing and interview sucked, and she didn't speak well or carry herself w/grace and professionalism. When chicks like her claim that they are discriminated against it only makes others discount the complaints of legitimate victims of discrimination. I wanted to smack her.:mad:
