Toddlers & Tiaras Recap: I’ve Got Your Glitszmas Right Here!

Toddlers and Tiaras

Katlyn is getting her stuff done while Kymberli interviews that this is the most stressful part of the pageant.  I thought putting her in the dress for her fitting was the worst?  Grandma Kelli saves the day once again by calling on her Lord and Savior to “Take the dress, Lord!”  Take it where?  Now the Lord is working for you on pageant day?

Are they bringing Sanford & Son back?

First up, is beauty/formal wear competition…Annette tells us the judges will be looking for appearance, facial beauty and personality.  Which is exactly the opposite what she said when she was talking about Ava and her lack of said personality.

The rhinoceros teeth are a nice touch on this one!

Rut-roh!  Hailey still doesn’t have her hair and makeup done.  Twitchy is getting twitchier by the second and the hair and makeup person says she’s getting to Hailey.  Guess they overbooked?  So, you spend $4000 on a dress but then share hair and makeup resources to save money?  What.  A. Dumbass.

The hair and makeup lady is bitching and moaning about how some people showed up late, some people took longer than others, and I’m like honey, tell your troubles to Jesus because I don’t want to hear them and I doubt this is helping Twitchy untwitch. 

Then crisis – Hailey’s hair isn’t holding the curl because it has “conditioner or a film” on it.  Well, dirty hair actually holds curl better so which is it, too much conditioner or too much film?  This lady has no clue about hair. 

How about I just vomit this hot mess of waterfall hair onto her head and we’ll call it a day?  Don’t forget to tip your server…

The pageant started 10 minutes ago so Twitchy says just do her makeup and I’ll do her hair.  That will only turn out well if what he does is whiten Hailey’s hair.

Back at the event, Ava goes onstage and totally and completely TANKS.  No personality, no moves, no nothing.  She won’t move and there is no energy.  Music of losers plays.  Monica says Ava has stage fright but I think she just has no clue plus let’s face it, she never practiced.  One of the judges says Ava had no focus.  Wah-wah.  Goodbye diamond earrings seen from space!

Points off, punk!

Then Ava’s encore is to throw a hissy fit when her dad tries to pull her offstage.  Well behaved AND talented!  “I was trying to tell her…she wouldn’t listen,” Dad says.  Really?  That is so completely exactly what she does at home too!  No wonder it surprised you.

Hooooly shit.  Kymberli is dressed in a too-long evening gown and is carrying Katlyn to the pageant.  I mean, I’m glad she’s not in mom jeans and sweats, but damn, overdress for the situation much?  YOU aren’t competing.  Except for some attention – glad you don’t care what the quality of that attention is.

What’s the loudest…the dress, the eyeshadow or Kymberli’s voice?

    Oh, DC – hilarious as always. My favorites? “Points off, punk!” and the bad signing causing bed wetting problems.

    I think that Hailey’s mom got herself into trouble and convinced her BFF to marry her and raise the baby because no way would Twitch do anything so ewwwy as copulating with a woman.

    It’s brats like Ava that make me want to get knocked up so that I’ll be a parent so they won’t be able to say, “Well, you don’t have kids” when I point out what a terrible parenting job they are doing and how their children are unholy beasts. On the other hand, I don’t want to have kids because then all I’d hear from them all day is “So and so gets to do this, so and so gets to do that, so and so’s mom isn’t as mean as you!” and I would get tired of pointing out that So and so is going to get up waitressing at a truck stop or learning how to say “Do you want fries with that?’ and my kid will become a productive member of society.

    The spelling of Katlyn was driving me nuts. I keep saying it “Cat-Lynn” in my head. It should be “Katelynn” or “Kaitlyn”. Or Kaitelyyynnn or whatever. But NOT “Katlyn”.

    Excellent recap! Twitches teeth really scared me. I really liked Hailey’s dress, but I agree that it was more of a Golden Globe and not a pagent dress. One thing I do want to point out is the microphone Hailey used to sing in. The microphone is a toy microphone that is supposed to come out sounding like an elf. I bought the exact same toy at walmart for my kids and they think its fun to play with because they can be “elfs”. To me, that is why she sounded so bad, and why she was dressed as an elf.

    Oh Crabby. My fave was the “dick in a box” comment! I will just leave that one alone!!!!

    I’ve met kymberli and katlyn several times and they are the nicest people. They cheer for all the kids that compete and always have a good attitude. They are a really fun family that is pleasant to be around and face it, you don’t see that much in pageantry.

    I’ve seen mr creepy white strips somewhere, but haven’t decided where. I’m thinking he may be friends with that creepy wanna be manager Blake. Maybe that’s the connection. Hailey is really sweet and needs to go join an academic club where she will feel comfortable and excel.

    As far as Ava and her clueless slave, er mom, whoop that butt! That will solve a lot right there. Poor brother. Parents are clueless. Maybe they should put her in boxing?

    Was anyone else distracted by Twitchy’s groomed eyebrows and curled and mascara’d lashes? Did he have jaw implants?

    I can’t help but wonder if Hailey has seen the show before and doesn’t want to be paraded around like a show poodle for “dad”. My other thought is that “Twitchy” borrowed Hailey from a relative and is saying the she’s his kid to get on TV.

    Dear Crabby, I have missed you so much, I had resorted to going back and reading all the recaps and comments, yes I’m hanging my head in shame that I was that desperate. But what surprised me was some of the comments were brand new on a show recap from 2 years ago. But you handled the comment response like a champ. I have missed you.

    WTH is Twitchy wearing in the glamour shot? A tennis dress? The picture should be on a Photoshop Fail page with that left arm.

    Hailey looked so uncomfortable with her “dad,” that either she’s barely ever met him or he recently had major plastic surgery that is still weirding her out. I can’t be sure of course, but seeing him and “mom” together, I got a huge, “woman who always wanted a baby turned to gay best friend for a sperm donation” vibe. I felt really bad for her because she was so pretty, but so unprepared, and her reaction to losing made me feel like “dad” had set her up for a big fall.

    Katlyn was a cutie (crazy as her family was, they were very supportive), and Ava was the kind of little brat who’s only fun to watch on TV. Her parents deserve everything that’s coming to them with this one! (I did feel bad for her poor brother…seems like he got all the brains in that family.)

    I just saw some clips of Hailey and Twitchy-Dad, but even those three minutes left me with a \WTF?\ They have no chemistry together, there is nothing between them. I guess he was married to Hailey’s Mom right after High School, before he came out. After seven years both of them couldn’t deny any longer that he was gay and decided to get a divorce. As a final goodbye she got pregnant and he got the bleach. Now Twitchy never really cared about his offspring until he realized that you can put her (and himself) on TV. Some people even get their own show… That was the time he called his Ex-Wife and convinced her that it would be a great idea to put Hailey, not only in pageants but also on TNT. First Hailey was excited, when she heard her Dad finally wanted to meet her, but then she realized it was all just a stunt so he could be on TV. Hailey decided it was about time to show him off. I guess Hailey did some things on purpose to see Twitchy freak out – smart girl. At least I guess that’s it what happend in this family, because it would explain so much.

    Oh my word. I’m sitting here reading the recap (yay for the return of T&T!) and eating my annual holiday Muddy Buddies (although I grew up hearing it called Puppy Chow, and K8 Gosselin referred to it as Monky Munch). Turns out that a food covered in powdered sugar is not optimal when reading an LOL-worthy recap. I inhaled that one particular of powdered sugar that wasn’t absorbed into the peanut butter-chocolatey goodness and ended up in tears.

    I was hoping that one of our pageanteers can fill us in our Twitchy and Hailey, but I guess that won’t happen if they’re new to the pageant circuit. (Unless this was filmed for Christmas ’11??)

    ok, Every time you called Hailey’s dad Twitchy, I was thinking that Kim Richards from RHBH was going to come slinking onto my screen.

    I tried to watch this the other night when the rerun came on, but I was in bed, and MR Z woke up and was like, goddam what are the cats doing? I was like, no, the cats are fine I am watching Toddlers and Tiaras, one of the brats is screaming again. He shook his head, and told me I was going to break the TV…then he fluffed his pillow and went back to bed….Thursday I tried watch it from my DVR but he cleaned it out…Luckily I have Crabby to tell me all about it.

    From what I was able to watch…Ava…yeah she is a screaming little brat that needs a good long sit in time out…or parents that will actually say no to that child. Either or, she can come to my house for the weekend and learn some manners!! The again a weekend with her, my ovaries might shrivel up!

    I actually liked Hailey’s dress….but if it would have been cupcake, I would have loved it more! All I could think of when I saw her dad was, no way!! No way was this man ever married! But hey, to each their own…

    I will try to find the episode so I can dish more…So Glad the show is back, and I am so excited for DC recaps!!

    Let the Delusiona commence!! :)

    @TurtleGirl–with TLC it is possible that this was maybe in the past month or so…They can be pretty fast with editing episodes. But who really knows. I just remember seeing a commercial with Alana in it for a holiday special or something crazy. They are dressed as pilgrims so who knows…

    TLC/Discovery have some crazy shows..and hell yes I am watching them for some reason!! MR Z hates T&T but he likes Amish Mafia…

    “Also, I don’t think Dick in a Box is really an appropriate costume fr this venue”…. Oh Dear Dear Crabby, how I have missed your glorious snark! That line alone still has me chuckling!!!!

    So happy the madness that is T & T has returned. That being said, Twitchy is easily the creepiest gay man I have ever seen! He makes David (Ava’s Dad) look normal! I refuse to believe he stuck his weenie (teenie I’m sure) in that woman, petri dish is more like it. Poor Hailey, being stuck with that idiot, she clearly sees his ick factor.

    As for Katlyn without an “e”- adorable, but why do people pray to Jesus at pagenats? Morons, like he doesn’t have better shit to do.

    As for Ava, send her to my house, and I will gladly kick her little behind, what a f-ing brat. I agree with merry, her parents do deserve what’s coming, and I am “praying to Jesus” I can see the fallout!!!

    Ava needed an ass whupping, but so did Hailey.
    Honestly, I’m surprised that she was crying like that. Here I am thinking that she’s mature and doesn’t actually care about the pageant, and she was freaking out worse than anyone.
    Clearly, she cared the entire time and was just pretending not to smh.

    Made the mistake of reading this recap and then taking a nap. Nightmares about Twitchy and his teeth. Mostly about his teeth. *shudder*

    Welcome back, DC! I think that elfin’ disaster of a talent was done on one of those Merry-oke microphones from the Hallmark store. It is a voice changing thing which is supposed to make your voice sound like an elf. SURPRISE!

    Ohh how great we have caught up to you guys here in Oz!! This was such a creepy episode for so many reasons, and yet boring at the same time. If he’s straight I’ll eat my hat! The elf scene was car crash material, can’t look and yet can’t look away…poor girl, get her out while she has a shred of dignity left. If she was on TV here doing that she’d have a lifetime of bullying ahead of her :( and not just because she’s a ranger!!
    Bring it on, looking forward to ”real time” recaps here in hot Melbourne!

    Dear Crabby, will you review the new show Cheer Perfection? Pretty please????

    Super Gay Dad irritated me. He was so overbearing, and I hated his creepy smiles at inappropriate times. Hailey is a lovely girl and just seemed completely crushed by the pageant experience. Yes, she got a little snotty at the end, but she is a NINE year old child. She’d probably reached the end of her rope by the end of the day.

    You were so much nicer to Twitchy than I thought you would be! The whole time I was watching I couldn’t wait to hear what you had to say about him. He just made me want to take a chlorine shower and bleach my eyes…

    Good job as usual, you were missed!

    Oh my goodness, this weeks epi…. Am I the only one who is disturbed by the dad when he says, “here you go, eat this for luck” and gives the fat kid yet more food?!! Hello Type 1 diabetes!!! WOW!!

    I would have commented on this recap earlier, but Twitchy’s teeth seared my retinas and I’ve only just recovered.

    I’m preaching to the choir here, but Ava desperately needed to be spanked. If I ever acted that way towards my parents or my siblings, I would have been spanked and grounded immediately for being an entitled little snot. I found it really gross that not only did Ava’s parents not punish her after she hit her brother, but they didn’t even make her apologize. Disgusting.

    Glad to have you back again for another delightful season Crabby, the snark is oh so sweet.

    Finally saw the epi last night in a pre-new show rerun.

    T&T, and we the audience, were punk’d.

    There is no way flamer dad and use-the-money-for-college daughter were not part of an ensemble of actors looking for a way to get gigs.

    It’s the T&T equivalent of the baby snatching osprey.

    I have to say that I really liked Hailey’s dad. He is pretty much alone raising his child. I think I would recommend to him that he find out what Hailey enjoys doing. She seems smart and mature. If she’s interested in science, math, whatever – embrace THAT. She seemed very uncomfortable with pageants, although she’s a pretty young girl. The dad clearly loves her.
