Tonight on Trainwreck TV:
I saw a trailer for an episode of this that showed the JonBenet clone in a swimsuit competition. She can’t be older than 5.
That’s far more disturbing than I knew was possible.
—she’s four.
What’s really disturbing about Emily-Jon-Benet is that I teach pre-school to four-year-olds, and they all act much more mature than she does. I think this whole pageant thing has seriously retarded her social and emotional growth.
None of my kids are that whiney and cutesy-wutesy acting, ever.
Her mom scares me. I mean, really scares me. Last week when she playfully tried on Emily’s crown and robe and was sort of goofing off, I got a really weird vibe off her.
I think possibly that Mom (and also FlufferNutter, for that matter) are living vicariously through these poor children. The children don’t want to do it, it’s the parents.
I still vote “religious cult” or “ex-gay ministries” for the Nutters.
Damn, my sister called me in the middle and I mised about 20 minutes.
Ooooh, poor Sullen Teen Jordan doesn’t want to play a lesbian? Get outta the business, kid. And “oooh, those extras have attitude . . .” Glad to see her kid sister, Gypsy Rose Lee, got to be an exctra.
And why do they spray paint little girls for those creepy pageants?!
“She read it without any touch of sweetness in her voice.” From the sound of her when she’s not auditioning, that seems like the way she says everything.
“Tylenol PM is not a drug!” She’s just like Judy Garland, except utterly devoid of anything approaching talent.
Is anyone else very surprised to learn that “The Full Monty” played in Salt Lake City?
I’m finding myself liking teen Jordan. (What am I, nuts???) I’m kind of hoping she gets the part she’s auditioning for and does well. Maybe her rudeness is all a front for fearing she’s not going to do well. Teenagers are all nuts anyway, right?
I’ve totally given up on the nutty Nutter family! They’re weird. They’re totally out of touch with reality. But somehow they stay together and raise those kids 
(Where does son Aaron’s acting money go, anyway???)
Still love Jordan Moseley and her Mom. They are a very together little family. Here’s hoping they both make it big!
I’m so sick of JonBenet and her sicko mother (and father!!!) It seems like everything the mother or grandmother say about her is contradicted by the kid herself. (Example- Grandma: She LOOOOVES having her makeup and hair done. Emily: I HATE having my hair done. She HURTS me!!!) She’s whiney, creepy and what’s the point??? So she gets these tin trophies and tacky rhinestone crowns. AND THEN WHAT??? What happens when her adorable baby teeth fall out and big ugly permanent teeth grow in and ruin her perfect little mouth? What happens when she grows? Did you notice during the fake tan air-brushing that Emily is STILL A BABY??? That’s a little baby body??? Little babies should not wear makeup and fake tans and have back-combed coiffures. They should be busy being little babies. Lock the Mom up!!!
And then there’s Shane. He’s a train wreck. And the mother is a close runner-up to little Emily’s mother for Evil Doer of the Series!
But I am so hooked on this show! I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I liked how right after her mom said in the voiceover something like, “People are so much more aware of homosexuality now. We’ve grown a lot more accepting of it”, the scene switched to Mr. Nutter.
I’m pretty addicted to this show – so much so that when my sister called in the middle of it, I told her I’d have to call her back. 
To any extent…
Was anyone else driven insane by Pa Nutter’s conversation with Aaron? He couldn’t just talk with his son, he had to play it up for the cameras. “What’s your first love? Where do you see yourself after this tour is finished?” They were in the middle of a game of catch, not a freaking interview. I think, though, that they said Aaron’s acting money went straight to his college savings – not to, y’know, new headshots for the rest of the kids or anything like that. Thank God for small blessings, huh?
Apologies to Eve. I started an identical thread when I didn’t another one here. We must have simulposted. I asked the mods to close the one I started but here are my thoughts from that thread…
Shane- Well, now we see that Shane is as good at acting as he is at dancing and singing. He seems like a nice enough kid but there just isn’t any noticable talent there.
Emily- What a poor little girl. I love how her mom describes the evil show biz mom, then proudly proclaims “but thats not what I am”. Uh yeah lady, thats exactly what you are.
The Nutters - Geez dad, great relationship with your son, Aaron. What a meaningful conversation, “Uh, I don’t know”. What exactly is the mom thinking by letting this happen. Grow a spine, lady.
Jordan (elder) - Hey, it’s the drug family. What a great idea to take sedatives before an audition. Wonder where the daughter got that idea? Maybe from mom, who chooses to take some drugs of her own and zonk out on the couch. Oh wait, I forgot, Tylenol PM isn’t a drug. Uh-huh.
Jordan (younger)- This kid has a chance, mostly because of her solid upbringing. It’s very easy to see the positive relationship she has with her mother. I especially liked the mom’s explanation that her discipline has nothing to do with her daughters career, but rather, is “life lessons 101”. It isn’t a big surprise that kid actualy has a career that is going somewhere.
Well, I did hit “record,” so I’ll watch the rest of it tonight . . .
Did you see those two even scarier little girls at Faux-Benet’s pageant?! The scrawny one with the false eyelashes, and the teeny one with the huge beehive hairdo and a pound of lipstick? Nightmare fuel.
I don’t watch this show, but every once in a while they show a segment on “Access Hollywood.” That faux JonBenet’s mother makes me shudder. “It’s not okay to be white?” Boy, I hope she’s saving that child’s earnings for the professional help she’ll be needing when she’s an adolescent.
I could swear I’ve seen faux-Benet before, on some other special about pageants on another cable network. It would have been a few months ago. I remember the winner on that particular program was this 8-yr-old blonde girl who wore caps on her front teeth, the kind that can be taken out. It gave her a really adult smile, which was so creepy.
From what I understand of the pageant scene for FauxJonBenet’s age range, there generally isn’t any profit from doing them. Perhaps there is for pre-teen pageants, but the kiddie ones sound pretty close to a scam. A little hotel conference room rental, a small stage and some folding chairs, a PA system, a couple of huge trophies, a tiara from Wal-mart, and a cash prize that is half or less of the entry fee of one single contestant and you’re raking in the dough.
I believe the typical entry fee for a kiddie pageant is $1000. Add the cost of travel, hotel stay, costumes, makeup and hair (including spray on tan), lessons with a pageant “coach” and food while away from home and it’s a great big hole sucking in money.
For older teens, I’m sure it’s more legit, but these little ones, it’s all for the glory of the stage mothers.

If you mean the one called Baby Beauty Queens, I don’t think she was in that one. There’s a thread on it right now on the TWoP boards, and I’m sure they would have mentioned it.
