Toddlers & Tiaras Minicap

Well, kudos to TLC for allowing kids from the short bus to participate in this week’s Toddlers & Tiaras pageant.  And the moms weren’t any better in their behavior.

First up is the unfortunately named Destiny, a three year old who asks if she can dance on the pole (their stairway railing).  The fact she knows this tells us a lot.  And if you thought Ni-Ni was a “hard-workin’ lady,” you’ll be amazed at how hard Destiny’s “pappy” works (and before you vomit, that is her pacifier and not a grandfather).  Destiny does not really seem to care for pageants, makeup, getting her hair done, practicing or the word yes.  Her mom shows her smarts by admitting on TV through splintered grammar that she has three credit cards, one for “emergencies only,” that are totally maxed out on pageant shit.  But shhh…don’t tell her husband!

Next is our poster child for seriously needed professional special needs intervention, Camari.  Camari’s mom was hooked on calamari when she was pregnant, so that is where Camari’s name comes from.  No, I am not kidding.  America, I weep for you.  Anyhoo, Camari honestly seems like she has some serious developmental issues – she can barely speak properly and mostly grunts, and she seems to have a hard time focusing.  Or not throwing things.  Across rooms.  Mom plows her with Coca Cola during the entire pageant which doesn’t help.  She doesn’t do badly onstage, but she sure as hell isn’t good.

Finally our favorite SamiJo and her nutcase of a mother Tricia beguile us with their lack of clarity on what is actually going on.  Tricia has left her turtle-farming husband because he and his family didn’t approve of her pageant spending (because they have their heads screwed on properly), Tricia is a career girl working at cage matches, drag races, posing for trashy calendars and working at a famous wings place that is known for promoting its employees’ hooters.  I think it’s BW3.  Despite the fact that Tricia tries to convince us and herself that SamiJo has the cognitive abilities of a 17 year old (like that’s something to brag about!), SamiJo channels her two-year-old self to winning the same award she always seems to win – one that doesn’t actually involve her being in the pageant as much as sending a pageant photo in and paying the additional fees.

Seriously funny is the rivalry between Tricia’s and Calamari with Marinara’s mother.  One calls the other’s child ugly, one laughs at how much the other’s botches her onstage time and basically they are total and complete bitches.  Which makes it extra fun for us.  Recap coming soon.

    Yesterday’s TV listings description for T&T said something about Destiny’s mom’s credit card debt, and I was thisclose to putting it in TT10S with a comment about how Destiny’s inevitable stripper career would help put a dent in their debt, but I decided that it was inappropriate. Still inappropriate to say about a 3-year-old, but after the whole dancing on the pole thing, looks like I’m not wrong.

    SamiJo’s mom has no shame and absolutely no grip on reality. SamiJo is a clueless two year old (NOT seventeen and NOT her BFF!). SamiJo was again a FAIL onstage!

    She divorced her husband for pageants and proudly announces she is living with her 4 kids, new boyfriend and works at cage fights, Hooters and anywhere she can make $$ wearing a bikini (including selling binkini calendars in the Oklahoma City area). Does she have any other “skills”? What happens when she gets too old for this nonsense?

    I feel so bad for her kids and the exhusband…..

    Last nights episode was craptastic. Can not wait for the full recap. And i’m so glad you made the comment about Camalari, she definitively has developmental issues, I’m thinking some form of autism, maybe ausperbrgers. Which, if treated right, is no big deal. But the mother needs to remove her head from her ass and realize something isn’t quite right.

    Oh DC, how I love you!! You must have tapped into my brain lastnight, because I was thinking the same things about Destiny and her “pappy”! Here we go with another Ni-Ni situation!!

    SammyJo, is a cute little girl, who you can tell, does not like the stage, unlike her Delusiona mom!! :) I knew my made up word would come in handy again with one of these moms!! Tricia you are Delusiona if you think SammyJo loves being on stage. Poor girl just froze. Yes she has done “better” at some of the other pageants, but not this time. Also, that white dress she had on, isn’t that the same dress that they had to rip one of the sleeves off cause it was broken?? That dress looked way to small for SJ. And why is she still 2? Hasn’t see been 2 in every episode she has been on.

    Calamari :) had on a really nice beauty dress! I happened to like it. Once you glitzed (shit is that even a word?!?!) her up, she was cute!

    OMG that Tricia,, first off- 4 ( or 5?) kids? Where was she hiding them when SamiJo was on T&T before? She gave up her husband for Pageants? Seriously? She is f-ing delusional. Me thinks Tricia is bucking for a tv appearance besides T&T- Did she really serve wings dressed half naked to her sons and boyfriend? I wasn’t sure, I was peeling my eyeballs back after watching her pimp herself on tv.

    SamiJo is adorable but needs more training, jes sayin……..Not worth making it your entire focus yet. Also, I guess the Aunt that went on stage with SJ disappeared along with the husband. Jeez,,,,,,

    Camari? The Ni Ni girl? (forget her name) Yikes I can’t even comment yet!

    SamiJo was 15 months on her first appearance. I’d guess she could have legit been two this week and in her last appearance, next time she’s on if she’s not 3 I will wonder who is lying. The birthday cake thing on her head; I’ve seen a “glitz” photo of her with a headband that had a giant cake on it, so I’m guessing that’s what she had on at crowning. It seems to odd to wear anything on your head for crowning though, unless you know you are not going to win, because otherwise where would the precious crown go? (on to Mommy’s head maybe?)
    I’ve not seen this episode yet, so can’t really comment on anything else.

    Please don’t hit me in my wonk eye with a bag of hot nickels but Katie from real world butterface and her questionable ‘career’ choice aside I thought SamiJo’s mother was good at what counted – being a mother. Keep in mind she is being graded a pageant mom scale so 45% is a passing. After the performance that future red ribbon Bologna wrapper gave most parents would have stormed off and went home nor would they have accepted a photo supreme trophy with such ummm grace!?!?

    don’t these pageants determine your age group based on when your birthday falls according to the pageant entry due date? Or something like that – i seem to remember one of these girls still being in a younger age group despite being a year older because of when her birthday fell.

    My husband and I were watching this train wreck (he was forced poor thing) and during Tricia’s photoshoot we had to pause the DVR when this rocket scientist exclaimed that she brings SammiJo along so she gets some cultural diversity. I looked at my man with such a look of confusion on my face. He shook his head and told me yes she did just say that and not to waste brain space trying to understand it. I’m sorry….a good mother does not decide that her 2 year old’s favorite store is Victoria’s Secret. And she definitely does not bring her to the photoshoot where you are half naked with your ass in the air. Her ex only has to take this tape to the judge for a change of custody. I will pray for those kids…

    I don’t think “Calamari” even has the brain cells of a squid. Her parents must not either if they haven’t figured out that there’s something amiss with their little miss. Or maybe they’re such lousy parents that they’ve just let her become an unmanageable holy terror. The pageant lady even said she was a demon, and I would think that if the kid really has autism or some other disorder she wouldn’t have said that. Of course, she could have the brains of a squid herself. That kid acts like some feral wild child plucked from the woods and put in a pageant. Aren’t the parents even concerned that their kid has no language skills?

    Destiny’s mother better save some emergency money for orthodonture because her blood-lusting little girl already has quite the overbite from suckin’ off “Pappy” all the time. I can’t understand the mentality of people who kill lovely creatures like deer for sport, yet put their ugly children in beauty contests.

    As for SammiJo’s mother: Who the hell would buy a calendar with pictures of a not-that-hot-looking, nobody woman from some podunk little town in Oklahoma? I love that they gave SammiJo a Supreme Photogenic crowyun when the pictures made the kid look like she was created at Pixar Studios.

I first though that the boys around the table were each of theirs… If anyone has the real scoop please share.

    There were so many things wrong with Tricia. The squatting on stage in a miniskirt, the new boyfriend with the samijo logo shaved into his head, the “photoshoot” with her child. For some reason she struck me as a bit of a meth head. Not sure why, I just got that vibe from her. She had that haggard sharp look to her.

    I’m sure she’s loving the camera time. This episode was a hot mess of white trash but I was too busy being annoyed with Tricia to really notice the other two. They were forgettable but Tricia’s trashiness will get her the much craved attention.

    I think Tricia’s husband might be the one who filed for divorce. I know the thought of someone leaving a beautiful, classy woman like her is shocking. But he seemed done with her the last time we saw them. Also, he probable found out she was cheating, who gets divorce and moves in with a new boyfriend in 8 months.

Most kids don’t like it when their bink is upside down….Then again, this little girl also wanted to dance on “their pole” after she was done “practicing”

    I found this episode all around sad and depressing. Usually you see at least one of the girls who WANTS to be there or enjoys pageants and I can honestly say I didn’t get that feeling from any of the girls this week. Our Alexes of this week, Camarie, needs some serious attention asap. It saddens me that kids who are clearly behind cognitively are being pushed into pageants when they should be receiving attention in speech and behaviour.I never was a fan of Tricia but I found that this episode she really made me mad. The fame she is receiving from her DAUGHTER is not only affecting her but her whole family and I wish shed realize how her little hobby is tearing her family apart.
    I usually love this show and enjoy watching the crazy moms but this episode was really just sad and shows how delusional and irresponsible some people are. No wonder our world keeps slipping into a deeper and deeper depression.

    Camari was a nasty little brat. After “bitch” came out of her mouth, I would have smacked her into next year. Her mom needed to be “bitch slapped” for allowing her to act this way. Just another fat mom trying to validate her life by begging people to adore her daughter!

    I can honestly say that I have never been to that “famous wing place”. But I thought that their shirts were tucked into their painted on booty shorts?!?!?

    I wonder if her ex-can get a refund on “her pageant fee” from last year, being that it cost 12,000 dollars!

    Tricia did say that she was also going to be in the pageant as well, but her compition backed out at the last minute…yeah probably because your “compition” came to her sences and found a new hobby for her and her child!!

    I was wondering about her “uniform” too. I’ve been to plenty of Hooters restaurants (I travel for work and work in a male dominated industry, so I end up there a lot.) and I’ve never seen one where they wear cropped shirts like that. They’re always tucked into the shorts.

    No doubt, Tricia is a tacky, tasteless, piece of work but I thought Calamari’s mom was just as reprehensible in other ways. Besides being an insufferable bitch how does she not know her child is developmentally behind? A three year old should be able to say their name and speak in complete sentences. Instead of trying to win pointless beauty pageants or settle scores with Trisha Camari’s mother should be having her cognitively evaluated by a professional. As for pissing money away on crap like disco wear she needs to be putting that money towards getting her dogs fixed! Seeing that mamma dog with the huge tits infuriated me. And no I’m not talking about Tricia!

    Yeah, what about the poor dog who looked like it had litter upon litter of pups in its lifetime? Another thing I forgot to point out in my long-winded first comment. Calamari was kicking or hitting the other dog, which looked like my late pit/ridgeback/greyhound mix, and I was appalled that the mother did nothing. The dogs and what other animals they have probably get abused by those kids all the time. Actually, Calamari’s mom is worse than SammiJo’s. While I disagree that SammiJo is as mature as a 17-year-old, as her mother claims, the kid appears to be the better adjusted of the three. (Very funny about the “dog with the huge tits … and no, I’m not talking about Tricia!”)

    I agree. Tricia may be the only person in the world that’s more delusional than Mickie Wood but at least Sammy Jo seems like a happy kid. I think she’s adorable. Not necessarily pageant material but really cute. On the other hand…

    Calamari was like a feral child. The only time she wasn’t screaming is when mom was feeding her soda. There is something really wrong with that kid. Both the mom and the dogs need to be fixed!

    Tricia is so delusional. Please stop procreating!!! And Calamari obviously hates pageants and has some type of personality disorder.

    Icey, I agree wholeheartedly. Usually we want the moms to join us because they are so delusionally hilarious, but this time if Clamari’s mother read our concerns she just might take action in time for intervention to be helpful.

    On the other hand, she would probably just think we are being our usual snarky selves instead of people who are concerned for a child’s welfare.

    Let’s hope that someone who can intervene was watching.

    yes, train wreck, but Marisa, I really need to correct you on “aspergers” – not ausperbrgers. There’s no ground beef involved, and there’s no “treatment.” Calamari most definitely does not have aspergers. She is a brat who can’t behave to save her life, and her parents think it’s cute, hence the even worse behaviours.

    Now, if you TRULY want to see aspergers / ASD, check out that Alexes from last season. (the one who screamed the entire time, whose parents plied her with build a bear, etc.) THAT KID is on the spectrum (rather severe) and has parents who are firmly standing in denial! I couldn’t help but send her a private Facebook message but she replied in anger. Poor child.

    Great recap!

    @Faye: Despite the roasting we’re getting from others, I agree with you 100%. Tricia seems like a caring mom with very well mannered kids. Her boys appeared gentlemanly, SJ is a doll, and even her new boyfriend seems like a cool guy (and it sounded to me like her husband may have left HER – not vice versa).

    I say give the chick a break…she’s doing what she’s gotta do to support her family (and pageant habit – I admit). Somehow I doubt she has the education to do much more than what she’s doing, and I refuse to knock a woman who is clearly trying to keep her family fed, sheltered, and happy.

    I did notice Lori (Alaska’s mom) in the audience, maybe she wheeled her blind father in so he didn’t have to pay for a seat. “He can’t watch the pagent and he has his own seat, can’t he get in for free? “

    Finally! I was wondering if anyone else saw what a horrific, animal abusing, nightmarish “home” that disgusting, trashy, grammatically challenged woman had. Not only is her daughter an absolute brat that needs a good spanking after she slaps people and throws things, but she feels it’s okay to just say “quit” when the kid grabs the face of an OBVIOUSLY incredibly submissive dog and forcibly shoves said dog to the ground.

    I was seething with rage and still am, sorry guys. But seeing those breeding dogs, as an animal health professional and a long time spay and neuter proponent, I was incensed. Add to that the dog’s behavior and I can tell you with twenty years in the business that those dogs are routinely “put in their place”. I won’t go so far as to say physically “abused” as it’s often overused, but they have NOT had great lives.

    Those poor dogs are doomed to an outdoor, flea infested existence while continually being pregnant. I can guarantee they have heartworms and intestinal parasites and are physically miserable. They will die young, and be better for it.

    Uh oh. Off my soapbox now. Sorry, Gasmii, but I have dedicated my life to animal health and this scenario kills me. That woman deserves a court date.

    If you go to youtube sometime, look for the Bazinga Ball Pit clip. It has me in tears laughing every time!

    AmyO, I guess that there were simply so many horrible, horrible things going on in this epi that the disgusting environment was not a top priority.

    I try not to look too closely at the squalor that poverty causes. I live in the north woods and we have plenty. Some people are simply too poor to care about planting grass.

    But home improvement is not the issue here. Remember the segment last year (?)
    when the little girl wanted to use her winnings to fix the fence so her puppy wouldn’t continue to escape? I’m sure many if not most of us noticed, and several Gasmii did comment on those poor dogs in this episode.

    I wish that the T&T producers film that type of abuse hoping that the proper authorities will notice and do something about the abuse and neglect going on in these households. Dare I hope that child and animal welfare agencies would somehow intervene?

    Oh silly me. I live in such a fantasy world.

    That was a cute clip and Eden seems like a good kid. Is the whole show mocking the fact that her mom still thinks she’s incredibly talented? And wth is Logo tv? And it still freaks me out how much she looks like Anna Nicole Smith. Eerie

    Destiny worked my last nerve & instead of her mother correcting her brattiness instead would allow her to stuff a pacifier into her big mouth. To constantly be sucking on a pacifier when you’re almost 3 is ridiculous! And is has given her a misshapened jawline & teeth. When she opens her mouth,or when you see her profile, she looks EXACTLY like a baby possum!! Shame on her mother, take the spoiled brats “pappy” away already!

    To be fair, it wasnt just that poor possum prostitot with the overbite, Calamari also worked my last nerve. She really did just grunt & groan, I don’t think she can speak in complete sentences at 3 & 1/2?! And the brat is really rough with family pets & screamed “bitch”,wow! Lk somebody said, I would have spanked the brat, only I think she has severe learning disabilities. Who only grunts & groans like a feral animal, a wolf child? Its almost like this episode showcased pagaent prostitots who rode in pn the special yellow bus. Such sad commentary.
