OT Toddlers And Tiaras!

[cheerismylife]

Kind of random, but what title did Makenzie get the first time she was on the show?

 

[PghxCheer2]

I'm pretty sure it was just supreme. Which I think is second place.

KikiD, beautiful little girl!

Icequeen, is that your pooch, adorable!

I love this show, but am working through season 1 so far on Netflix. It makes me sad to look out into the audience, and the only people there are the families and barely anyone at that. Some families will be nicely dressed (normal clothes) and then others could be peopleofwalmart walk ons, and I am thinking, "this is where you are spending your money"? It seems like with all the money and effort, there should be a big crowd to at least make it worthwhile.

I always like the gritty moms who are making do in rustling up dresses and being frugal to make it happen vs. the ones with the pagent coaches, trainers and fancy dress makers.

Mackenzie the first time she aired won divisional supreme. That is only in her age division that signed up for ultimate, and grand supreme titles. (You have to do optionals to compete for supreme titles)
^^^^^^
got my sister to type that!! not me...

 

[icequeen]

Oops I meant that to be Bayleigh on Tiny Miss USA she is beautiful

I LOVE Toddlers and Tiara's. Some of the girls are adorable and really sweet, but others are total brats! Mackenzie annoyed me so much. "I want my nee nee!" Oh my gosh, that poor mother. And I felt really bad for the 8 year old who was crying because she didn't win Grand Supreme. She was AMAZING! I totally thought she was going to win. Question to anyone involved in pageants; how does a baby who can't comprehend what's happening, or really perform, win over an amazing 8 year old performer? How does the scoring work?

I spent my first 7 years of life doing on pageants (the reason why I am the gaudy, rhinestone, diva tranny that I am today) so I could probably touch on this. While I don't know what the pageant's scoresheet was like, I do know that a huge amount of score comes from facial beauty. The scoresheet usually hits on facial beauty (simply a facial beauty score, there are pageants that give $10,000 titles just on the highest facial beauty score. This is huge in pageants!), poise (how does the contestant carry themselves on stage {even a baby}. How is their posture, do they look put together, do they look composed and natural in public, are they a total package?), confidence (does the contestant look like they want to be there? Are they hesitant in what they are doing or confident? Do they show personality in what they are doing, does the child look like they are having fun and want to be on stage? Do they project well to the judges? Do they make continuous eye-contact with the judges {this is HUGE}?), interview (I am sure this child did not do an interview, she can't even speak), clothes (do the clothes look neat? how is the fit of the dress? is it a good color on the child? is the outfit age appropriate? Are the accessaries the correct ones for the outfit?), hair and make up, (does the child look polished? Is their hair and make-up age-appropriate? If they wear a flipper is it the correct size? Does the child over all look neat and polished?) and modeling (Again, is the child poised in their routine, do they remember it, are they moving at the appropriate speed, is it clean and put together or is it sloppy, are they enthusiastic in what they are doing, are they a natural performed or does it look forced, etc.).

Besides these things there are also scores on photos submitted to the pageant, talent (if they participate), swimwear, pro-am, the list goes on. It is important to have neatness and a total package (facial beauty, modeling, clothes, hair and make-up) in pageants. If two contestants tie the tie is usually broken on facial beauty. Getting to baby Scarlett's title, Grand Supreme I think? It doesn't really matter the name, it is simply the highest combined score in the pageant of all areas on the scoresheet. Therefore, while Danielle could do more she was given a score based on everything she did. And the babies under 3 are not usually scored at all on modeling or interview, or areas they cannot participate in. Scarlett had a higher overall score based on what she did than Danielle. Her facial beauty had to have really pulled her. So that is exactly why she won. Please keep in mind, this is television and in order get viewers, TLC has to pick the most extreme cases they can find. Some parents are overbearing, but you will find that in all sports- soccer, hockey, football, and cheerleading all have crazy parents. Without these characters TLC couldn't make money because they wouldn't have a show. Take what you see on the show with a grain of salt and realize that most of these situations are totally exagerrated for T.V. Pageants teach a child confidence, poise, losing gracefully, interview skills, work ethic, how to speak and perform in front of a crowd, the list goes on and on. All the girls and parents I competed with were talented, driven, determined children who absolutely loved what they did and had tons of fun at pageants (theme parks, going out to eat, seeing shows, swimming, playing with the other little girls). The girls I know are successful in college, their career, or show business today. Pageants taught me lessons I could have never learned in a classroom and I am so thankful for them today as an adult.

I HATED this mom! She completely favored the one daughter who was a little brat! I felt so bad for the other twin!

This mom infuriated me. I pray that she is not truly as harsh as she appeared and that it was just the editing. I doubt it, but really hope so - for the kids' sake.

 

[Angelica]

theres a little girls from my town going to be on an episode soon. shes a dollllll!

 

[DONTstopNOW]

I love this show! That girl on the newest episode with makenzie was honestly the worst of all the kids i've seen, she was just plain mean. She definitely got what she deserved when she got beat by that baby!

 

[mommadonna]

anyone else think mckenzie's mom seems a little....out of it?

Yes!!! She seems a little bit spineless when it comes to discipline too. I do think it is hilarious how little Mackenzie whines, complains, and throws herself on the floor, then when it comes time to perform, she rocks the stage. What a little diva! If she doesn't watch out, though, that mama is going to have a time of it when little Mackenzie becomes a teenager!!!!

 

[PghxCheer2]

It's on tonight! TLC at 10pm for anyone who wants to tune in!
