Booty-smacking is EXACTLY the kind of relief we were looking for this week! Thank you!
Ahhh…last week was like an asthma attack and this week was the inhaler. Toddlers & Tiaras gives us some great TV for the International Fresh Faces: Fairy Pageant with our good friend Mr. Todd. Love the costume changes! We totally need to add him to our drinking gang of Tonya, Annette and Betty. And Lacey-Mae! Someone has to be the designated driver.
First us is our reason for living, the ultra-fawned over Traven, our sole male contestant in this pageant. He screams about being a grown up, the man of the house and how he wants to be up his competition. Then he says he needs to get the devil out of himself and proceeds to need an exorcist. Perhaps Alexesesese can loan him hers. His mother has trademark front gold teeth – is that from baby formula? Traven fires his barber and wants his grandmother to work in a strip club – and he knows the name of that strip club! Ah, T&T, thank you for quenching our crazy thirst.
Ava-Cate is an adorable little girl with a scream, little piggy and two names that one their own are fine but then get a little cray-cray in the double up. She hates practicing and likes to do a booty smack, which her mother fears she will do during the pageant. We can only hope. Despite having a coach that really needs to immerse herself not only in a ShamBrow™ but also some eyebrow bleach (although I’m guessing cuff and collar match, if you know what I mean, and you do…), she does a nice job during the pageant.
And finally is our egomaniac with manners Samantha who is Traven’s competition. I guess. She won ultimate grand supreme in her first pageant and has continued to kill at pageants, practices a lot, knows her stuff and has confidence – perhaps too much. Also, once they put that fall on her head, her forhead really went all Tyra on us, it was weird. However, her “Fairy” category outfit was awesome – I’d kill for gossamer wings like that, but again, hard to pull off after 40. Or 30. Or probably 20. And 10. Their only catastrophe? They brought the wrong length version of her song! Quelle horreur!
Again – still loving parents, still reasonably good kids, but more to work with this week…thank God.

My favorite part of the episode was the sign that Traven’s mother had: “Congrats Traven / Your 1.”
Was Samantha’s hair naturally that color? Her mom’s was exactly the same, but both heads screamed “bleach!” to me.
IFF Mo. still has the paperwork on their site. I’ve gotten to be quite skilled at deciphering pageant paperwork and I read that the music was supposed to be 1 minute for fairy wear. It appears that Samantha was expecting it to be the typical minute and a half and was trying to finish off a minute and a half routine. Why would the show lead us to believe the mom had the wrong music? Anyone want to take a stab at explaining the one to me?
I’m still curious as to what was counted for the “Ultimate Grand Supreme”. It was a door title so not everyone entered, but was it pulled before or after the “Grand Supremes”.
What made the bleach blond worse was the fact that she was browner than I am…it was rather distracting.
I haven’t seen this one yet, but how old is Traven? and WTF is up with the exorcist? Are we talking mentally damaged kid or what here?
Hi, everyone! I usually don’t comment on this show’s recaps (I do read them and laugh quite hard doing so).
I’m just hoping the crazies come out again. By commenting, I can be notified by email of any developments.
Great job, Dear Crabby. You keep me from actually having to watch this show!
The REALLY funny part is that IFF doesn’t have a boys division. He was allowed to enter the pageant strictly for purposes of the filming of the event. I’m good friends with another state director for IFF and boys are not on the PPW. In addition, there were no supreme titles for Denim wear or Fairy wear… which also cracks me up.
I thought Traven was SUCH a jerk. I was going to use a stronger word, but he’s so young. I really feel that he’s a future wife beater. The way he talked to his mother & grandmother was so disrespectful and and he seemed so angry. I thought he was going to hit his cousin when she said she wasn’t going to do the pageant. Something about him just gave me the creeps.
How funny that there was no boys division and no denim supreme. So they stuck him in and gave him a made up title.
I loved Samantha and I thought her fairy wear was gorg. She looked adorable during denim wear too. The little one was cute too. I was bummed that she didn’t smack her butt during beauty but what can you do?
Traven’s mom’s sign killed me too!!
And what was up with Traven’s mom saying that all the other boys dropped out when they heard Traven had entered??
Samantha’s ego was Alaska lite…I’m sure next season she will be ramped up and be full on annoying.
Did Traven have on girl jeans for denim wear? I will give his mom this, at least his name was not Travante or Travious. Or Spelled Tra’ven, Tray’veen, T ‘ ray’venh….the list can go on an on.
Speaking of Alaska, I thought I saw her during some of the quick shots of kids onstage. Or were my eyes deceiving me?
I am a wee bit skeptical. International? Does this mean kids from Mexico are involved? Canada? Ukraine? With some of these pageants I would be surprised to see a kid from another state, making lie of the name interstate.
Cannot wait for the fullcap, Crabby Dear! I want more information on that gesture. Reruns, table 12.
I totally agree that Traven will be an abuser……no respect for women or authority. I feel sorry for the teachers at school that will have to deal with him. His only gift seemed to be speaking older than his age about things he does not need to know and dancing as if he were in a club. It is obvious that education is not stressed in that home.
And what was up with his mother’s weave? You could drive a truck through the part in her “hair”.
LOVED the smile on Ava-Cate’s face as she was on stage in her Minnie Mouse outfit!! Adorable!
@Jazzy you first paragraph is what my comment in the REALcap was going to start off with.
I don’t see Traven as a future abuser. I see him as a future teenage baby daddy to multiple girls.
@Moli, sorry to steal your idea… but how sad is it that so many of us thought the same thing about him? My guess is that he has a father (or “father figure”) in his life that’s teaching him all this.
Trevon the terror was a MESS. What disturbed the most was when he went on his rant, his mother stood there and laughed. Way to set an example for your son, I’m sure your daughter in law will thank you one day.
God, I feel sorry for Travon’s teacher. And any teacher who ends up with him between now and his 16th birthday, when he drops out or ends up in juvie. Untamed children are not cute! His mom should be forced to take parenting classes along with some remedial English. It just drives me mad when I see such rude, out of control brats being coddled by their parents.
That is all.
Speaking of crazy spellings, when my SIL was in the hospital after having a baby, she asked the woman in the next bed what she had. The woman said that she had a boy and named him Jeremy. But, they wanted it to be different so they spelled it J E R O M E! Jer-o-me. That poor kid having to explain that his name is not Jerome!
I thought it was cute when he said… I LIED… I lied to all of you…. I don’t have 1000 girlfriends…. He seemed sincere … but extremely doted on. I liked him and his cousin Princess also…
It’s possible (probable) that the overall fairywear and denimwear titles were door optionals. Those wouldn’t appear on the paperwork. Traven was cute on stage, but his only eye contact was with the floor. I highly doubt that 8 boys ran for the hills when they heard he was going. Also, directors don’t generally tell you who is registered, so unless mom was screaming it from the rooftops, no one would have known, anyway.
To me Trevon was just typical high energy boy but his Mom better get a grip on that attitude asap. His teachers might be miserable but his peers are not going to put with that mouth & he will get some swift butt kicking on the playground till he shuts it. Did anyone notice how all the girls were swooning over him? Future Lady’s man in the works so he must have some charm. Crock
I really got the feeling with that family that there was a lot of playing-to-the-cameras going on.
PG– they weren’t door optionals. The door optionals at that particular pageant were the Ultimate Grand Supreme, Beauty Supreme, and Personality Supreme. So basically, this weeks kids won 2 door titles and one made up title
Veruca you exactly what I was thinking. 2 door titles and a made up supreme. And make believe drama over the music.
Traven wasn’t high energy. He was obnoxious and his mom feeds into it. I have never seen 8 boys at a prelim. Ever. And usually not at state or nationals either.
Just curious?? Some of you commenting either go to pageants or have grand children in pageants?? Whats up with that.. just seems a little odd to be on here posting so much and a couple of comments have me wondering.
I thought Ava-Cate was adorable. But I feel like we have seen her before…am I wrong?
Trevon-he was cute to a point, I did LOL when he walked up to Sam’s mom and told her that he was going to “beat” her. But then Sam was in a different age group at the end for the “higher” titles…. but WTG TLC production…! Really with the haircut on minute and full head of hair the next….!
Talk It– several of us have acknowledged that we are either pageant moms or pageant grandmothers. Its rare for me to go more than 2 weeks without knowing one of the featured kids (if not more) personally.
What is “odd” about it?
i don’t think there’s anything odd about them posting on here. i watch toddlers and tiaras all the time, and i for one am happy to receive behind the scenes info!
Talk-it– I’m not sure what you think is “odd”. Yes, several of us are pageant moms or grandmas. We often know the featured kids (more often, I know the kids in the background.
I agree with michkabibbles, I don’t think it’s odd, it’s a way they can vent without everyone that might know they calling them all kinds of names. This way they can let it go and relax. It’s nice to hear from the “other side” they might not always agree with the snarking on here but as everyone is intitled to their opinion it’s great to hear from them.
I’m loving the behind the scenes gossip, hell, I wish some housewives and bad girls would show up with their inside talk too.
I agree, I think getting the inside scoop great! With the inside scoop it helps us understand how the pageant world works. Speaking of it……where has pageantrefugee been?
Question PG…going back to Lacey-Mae’s dress, last night we saw the two piece cupcake dress. Wouldn’t that be easier to customize(I understand they buy used) for Lacey-Mae, by attaching/snapping(whatever is the correct sewing term) the skirt portion higher?
I agree with the majority of these posts… Traven made me very uncomfortable.
I LOVE the other side !!! Bring it on.
@Stagemom – Agree 100 %. Trevon is obnoxious. But so were my 4 brothers (only girl), 3 sons (no girls), & 8 nephews (2 nieces). Girls are not dominate in my family. Boys cook slower then girls. My husband is 50 & still can act like idiot . Trevon’s cousin handled him perfectly, rocked it, & was a doll to boot. Want her on T&T.
Lacey’s dress probably was 2 pieces. It’s rare to see one that isn’t these days. I personally would have brought the skirt up as high as possible without risking her booty showing, and ditched the sleeves. There was a whole lotta dress going on there, and you want the kid to wear the dress, not the dress to wear the kid. I also would not have put Samantha in white, with that platinum hair, but that’s just me.
I watched it twice and took notes. I need a life. Or Ambien. I was suppossed to be typing case notes…. I present you Traven.
1. Practicing sucks I just want to cheat.
2. 2 plus 8 equals 11 not 10 maybe 13.
3. Nana should get a job at the Pony.
4. She treated me like a kid I am not a kid I am a grown up.
5. And one of my favorites… And I want to be smart and “delican”
WTF is “delican”?
Did you ever ask yourself, “how did that guy get to be such an asshole?” We have found the answer in this episode. I am more than a bit uneasy by Trevon. That mouth gesture that he did was so heeby.
Having pageant people posting here isn’t odd at all! Like others said, it’s great to have inside info. I dont have a kid in pageants, but TLC is filming a show (premieres this summer I think) about the activity my daughter does do. We were not approached for filming, nor would I allow it. However, my daughter knows many of the kids they did follow.
I started reading here to see how much is “reality” and how much is BS. If is site ends up recapping our activity’s show, I’ll be an insider.
Now about this episode: I thought the sign said “Congrats Travon/ Your 7.” I couldn’t figure out why they were congratulating him for having a birthday. Lol. Shouldn’t have watched in the wee hours of the morning! The “your” had me LOL for sure. Don’t people double check grammar when making a sign? And as for the girls giving Travon hugs, they totally looked like they were just doing as they were told. The last one, especially, seemed like she really didn’t want to. Bet TLC put them up to it! As for T’s behavior, we have lots of boys in our family. Only 2 of them would ever act like T did. Even my kids avoid those 2 cousins. I hope we never, ever see T on another episode.
@unlurking I have a Facebook friend from high school who’s kids do Irish dance and there were a flurry of posts on her page a few months back about TLC doing a show about dancers and she’s worried that the show will make them all look nuts. They can’t make you look nuts if you don’t give them anything to work with but her daughters dresses cost more than our beauty dresses and they tan and wear wigs too. I had to give her lessons on how to stone her daughters dress last year. I think she stopped way too soon, I would have added another 8-10 gross of crystals but she said if she added any more crystals, the dress would have been too heavy for her daughter to dance in. We decided that the biggest difference between our kids activities is that is her kids feet move really fast and my kid smiles on stage.
@sagittariuskim “I see him as a future teenage baby daddy to multiple girls.
This! I didn’t go to abuser so much as future Springer “you ARE the father” episodes.
Can’t wait for the fullcap, Fabby Crabby.
I don’t think it is necessarily odd that the pageant people are posting here, but I have been occasionally posting but faithfully reading for two years, and I find myself skipping over the comments more and more as the conversation seems to now to be dominated by the pageant people. While I do think they do add quite a bit to the conversation, I for one really miss the old snarky style before the pageant people dominated so much (what, four, five months ago?). A lot of commentators I enjoyed reading or sparring with rarely post now. Sorry if I offend. Just my opinion.
@StageMom
My niece does Irish Step and you are right. It is wicked expensive and I always said it looked like a pageant for dance. I am shocked the amount of money it costs. And believe me, if you don’t have the right “look”, it doesn’t matter how well you dance, you will not place. Just like a pageant lol.
Trevon’s mom better step up. Sure his attitude is cute because he is 6, it sure as hell isn’t going to be cute at 13. She needs to get the beat down started now…
@Tonya I liked Traven too. I didn’t get any kind of bad vibe from him at all.
I agree with @Pageant-grandma that the whole family was hamming it up and enjoying the hell out of it!
Not to single them out though. They always stage little scenes and have the kids say stuff.
Anyway if Traven’s mom’s really wondering if he’s got talent potential or just a cute personality the 1st thing she needs to do is get him in an acting class. Because he needs discipline. I don’t mean his mama needs to fuss at him. I mean performance discipline. He forgets his words sometimes, and to pose right. Which is a shame because it looks like he’s got good body use when he remembers.
So a class would do him more good and be way cheaper than pageants.
I was disturbed by Trevon too- but more because he is likely to be a lost cause. He is obviously smart, talented and I think a genuinely good little boy. He is also longing and crying out for discipline. Every scene I saw bratty behavior but also a sort of restraint coming from a naturally good child. That will wear off and as he is indulged endlessly and has to act more and more for some structure in his life he will end up fulfilling at least one of the prophecies here.
Free Trevon!
Traven’s mom = trailer trash! Seriously, she should be so embarrassed by the way that animalistic brat acted and how they show off when the family is obviously a bunch of losers. And what the hell is with the gold front teeth? Trash. Plain and simple, just trash!!
I see Traven as a future father figure questioning if he’s seen a handstand with splits in a Ludacris video….
Traven is a cute kid, who actually does have some performance potential, but there is something very unnerving about how everyone around him seems to encourage him to be “grown up”. He’s 6. 6-year-old boys should be playing with legos and still thinking girls have cooties, not making lewd gestures and suggesting grandma pick up a job at the local strip joint!
“This! I didn’t go to abuser so much as future Springer “you ARE the father” episodes.”
Yes, you are so right…and I’m sure mama would be there giggling!
Stagemom, your last comment was priceless!
Damn. Now I need to watch the show again. I missed some of things being posted.
Help savvy Gasmii! Missed the epi and am dying to see it, but my cable guide says it won’t be on until next Wed at 5:00 CDT in a T&T mini-marathon. I can’t wait that long. Is there any other recourse?
@snowshoecat it goes on YouTube on a Saturday morning usually. The person that uploads the full episode is called ‘toddlerstvshows’ or something similar. *sigh* it’s the only way I get my weekly dose of train wreck…
Were those sheets or shower curtains hanging in the trailer? Btw, loved the purple kitchen cabinets with the neon green trim. Off to Home Depot I go…
Ava-Cate was not allowed to smack her butt, thank goodness, but IS allowed to rip off her skirt and then dance with it… Seriously mom’s stop that shit.
@Pageant grandma – you hit the nail on the head. Little 6 yr old boys should be playing legos, roughhousing with their friends, running around outside getting skinned knees, etc. And girls def have cooties at that age. I think anyone that didn’t find Trevon disturbing should rewatch the episode. Making sexual gestures, having mom tell him to be sexy to get the girls, discussing his grandma working the pole, etc: these behaviors are NOT NORMAL. I think we have seen where those baby daddies on the trash daytime tv shows come from. Sigh
@LoyalViewer – you are right – Mom will be in the audience of Jerry looking proud and giggling at her “sexy” son. Sigh again.
Thank you Harriet! Tried YouTube this season and didn’t find it. I have caught up on past seasons that way, so I shall perservere Can’t wait!
Snowshoe–
The EASIEST way to find the episodes is to pick one of the kids names from the episode and add Toddlers and tiaras to the end of it in the Youtube search box. Thats how I normally find them.
Wow, Mr. Todd sure has packed on the pounds since we saw him last!
This episode is a target-rich environment, as we say in the military. Can’t wait for Dear Crabby’s insightful snark!
Not putting anyone down but we critize on here.. Shit I know some of the kids too even know someone that does pageants and is very good at it but I dont see them coming on here posting and downgrading pageants hell they are all for them. I didn’t say pageant people couldn’t post on here just thought they wouldnt because this is to make fun of them. Lets just say I have seen or read some post on here about pageants or what they said went on at pageants and some have commented and I know that its not true because having know someone that works in the industry.. just think its kind of hilarious to hear it.
@talk it then, why insinuate? Just call out the guilty party?!?!!?
havent you read the comments!! Guess and we will both be surprised!! LMAO
I work in child support- so how come the first thing my co-worker and I did was look to see if Travon’s mom was in the system? lol
I was going to hold off until the full recap, but I think this is where Traven is going to end up:
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/man-fathered-30-kids-needs-break-child-support-140439765.html
Unless maybe that IS Traven’s father? And ladies, I believe he’s still single!
Also – you can find full episodes of T&T on iTunes if you don’t mind paying $2 for that trainwreck.
@talk it then, I am very curious as well, I have neen reading and enjoying these recaps a long time but didn’t decide to post until my episode aired. I think this whole blog is funny because what is typed here anonymously is exactly what pageant moms say without hiding behing a fake name. /o offense to my new” friends” that choose to stay anonymous.
I know why I did the show, and it was because my daughter begged and begged.
Anyone else think Samantha and Traven will be on “16 & Pregnant” in about 10 years??
As I said, Gasmii are savvy– Veruca, I’m going to try that trick right away. CrabbyDear, I found about your suggestion I think– not sure because I am cheap, cheap, cheap and would rather spend the money for a beer. Which I have the feeling I will need after watching this episode.
I can never thank you enough, CrabbyDear, for being the introduction to the Gasm. I lurked forevah, but found out that sending comments back and forth was just as much fun. And Gurl, ya sure inspire the comments! Genius.
Now to find that episode!
I sure some pageant moms do say stuff like that they hide behind names just like we do.. lol.. its all part of it I guess. When you are in that situation seems like the mood changes quite drastically which is normal. I enjoy the recaps as well and do watch the show. Cant believe how some of the kids and parents act… I might say not all of them… I have seen some well behaved polished kids on that show. If a kid enjoys it I say do it.. I just have a problem when a kid is being forced to do it and some parents cant deal that the child has no interest in it but makes them do it anyway.. then there is a problem
Well I sat my butt down last night and watched this one, my first thought was “trailer trash” and before anyone jumps down my throat, I want to live in one when I retire but sheets on the windows and multi colored cupboard just scream trash, reminds me of my first place when I was 17 and had no money.
Personally I think Traven should be called “Spawn” for those of you who have seen the money you will understand, for those that haven’t Google it. Yes I’m in a pissy mood but that’s neither here nor there. WTF was up with that kid, you sure can tell there is no father figure in his life cause that boy’s ass would be grass. Goldfinger, I mean Goldtooth needs let him be a kid and cut the crap of these pageants out. He’s going to get the shit kicked out of him when he gets older. I see the next Desmond Hatchett, again Google him. I think I’m spoiled for boys being an a pageant by Brock. That little boy was polite and no way rude. You don’t go up to someone’s mom and say what he did. I thought the sign at first was saying he was 1. I believe as others might and do that he was an addition to the pageant as Mr. Todd seemed to have to force himself to add boy into his speech. I loved his cousin “Princess” that girl has sass and won’t put up with male shit at any time. She’s going to be great friends with all the babies momma’s that he will have.
@ Veruca, I wondered about that the titles seemed really fake, thanks for the clarification
@snowshoecat I agree with the skepticism, International I wondered about that but what do I know I’m Canadian and we all live in Igloos and look the same
can I join you at table 12 for the reruns, I can’t wait to watch it again on YouTube, I’m actually subscription to the person that posts them. Been watching a lot of the old ones that I missed and now with all the info I have from everyone on here, I’m watching them again and and then re-reading the comments for each one. I need a life me things LOL
@ Moli I was going to ask PG and or Beth about the 2 piece dress as well. Is that normal to have them in 2 pieces?
@ Closet Fan, come on over I got the Ambien LOL
@confused Yes, most dresses are 2 pieces. Some little girls have a one piece Babydoll style, but the majority are a bodice and a skirt. Then when they hit the 11ish mark, you go back to a long dress. Makes it easier when they grow to have it two pieces to move up and down on the skirt and corset the bodice smaller and bigger.
Oh, absolutely. As with any activity kids are in, parents need to really examine whether this is for them, or the kids. If they love it, that’s great. If not, it seems an Awfully expensive way to torture your kid!
@Beth, thanks for clearing that up for me.
Having been around someone that has done pageants from what I have seen they come in two’s.. bodice and skirt.. BUT alot of them dont wear them right.. Makes me so mad when I see one of these kids go on stage and dont have it on correctly.. They are TWO pieces BUT you are supposed to SNAP the bodice to the skirt.. that way it looks like one piece not two. I have seen girls that look so beautiful and then they get up there raise their arms and ruin the whole damn performance. It really looks bad and wished they would ask someone especially if they dont know… but some of them dont know and I guess eventually they will learn.
I have been reading Crabby’s recaps for a long time. I think pageant moms (minus Candass and JLo) love her recaps because they are fair. If a kid is being a brat she calls them a brat. If a parent is being an ass she calls them an ass. But she also points out the good and the cute. I don’t come here to bash pageants or kids, I come here to read the recaps on tv shows and Crabby “gets” that even though it’s a reality tv show, it’s still a tv show.
Besides, I know that deep inside that snarky recapper exterior, there’s a secret pageant princess who loves bling and sparkle.
Did anyone else see the old dude in the audience wearing a cruddy tuxedo t-shirt? I am really loving the audience scan…. Better than finding Waldo.
What freaked me out about Traven was that he seemed a little freaked out by himself. At first I thought he was doing impressions of people from movies he’d seen (when he was yelling “This is MY HOUSE” and his mom was laughing). It really was as if he’d become possessed by his own clowning around and the awful thing was no one knew it but him! I didn’t like this ep at all. The producers were too visible.
Oh, for whoever asked about Samantha’s hair — those girls looked Nordic to me. I think that white Scandinavian blonde hair was indeed real.
@maryedith He knows when he messes up. And he even tries to improvise, and does pretty good for a 6 yr old. But all he’s got is what he learns from grown folks.
Which is why his mom needs to get him in a class. Because he’s smart enough to know when he forgets his words or doesn’t pose right.
But he’s not smart enough to train and coach himself like a teacher would. And his family’s too ignorant to know that teaching him to say stuff like Grandmama at the pony is so not a cute look.
Same thing with the little girl slapping her butt. It’s not like she invented that all by herself.
Kids that age aren’t old enough to know the difference between doing something that makes your family laugh at home and doing it on TV or in public.
And the families just need to be told to quit teaching them stuff like that. No matter how big a kick they get out of it.
Because some people are going to get the wrong idea. And think bad of the child. Which means the kid ends up paying for their bad judgment. (Even more than they already are in some cases)
It’s not fair. It doesn’t even make sense. They’re little kids not long out of diapers. They don’t know the difference between a booty slap or patty cake. Or a strip club and Burger King.
But people don’t think.
@StageMom – you’re damn right about wanting to be a sparkly, glitzed princess…if it’s shiny, it has my attention! I loved playing dress-up and Barbies and I wish I could wear glittery makeup all the time…sniff! And don’t get me started on big hair…I’m a child of the 80s and Final Net ruled my world.
@kthxbai
For the record, I do not blame Traven for the things he did that I found inappropriate, rude or horrifying. The kid is 6 years old. I blame his parents and caregivers. I couldn’t do 98% of what these kids do when I was their age without my parents take care of it, right quick. And I don’t really think anyone else on here is blaming the him. Gasmi are smarter then that.
@TVKimmy I’m not talking about people on here! I mean people in real life.
Oh. Never mind then. *laughs at self and ducks head* Carry on.
I think a lot of Traven’s crazyiness was played up or encouraged by either his parents of the producers (probably both). Most likely, they took all of the inappropriate things he’s picked up over the years that are only cute because he’s little and made him do them in front of the camera. Have you ever seen a kid who knows all the words to songs that they have no business knowing because Mom and Dad played it one too many times in the car? I feel like that’s been Traven’s whole life. The people around him probably say whatever they want in front of him without a filter. Then he repeats it and everyone laughs and thinks it’s cute and it reinforces the behavior so then he brings it out whenever he wants attention.
I think school will probably be good for him. Hopefully, he will learn that, even if some things are accepted in his home, they are not acceptable in society. Plus he seemed pretty smart and I’ll admit the kid was handsome.
Oh boy. Will school fix Traven? Or are Traven’s parents the reason the public school system in this country is broken? Will Traven simply be diagnosed as ADHD by harassed, overworked teachers and become a proud father himself at 15?
@TVKimmy No problem. I should have been more clear that I’m a terrible person. That gets to sit up on the internet and snark about it if she DOES do it on TV.
But if she does it in the real life parking lot, it’s another thing if she doesn’t get invited to the birthday party. That’s what her parents need to worry about. Not us.
@maryedith I was getting all tuned up to accuse him of being hyperactive. But then I remembered there was a TV show there. And back when I was 6..
Oh and before I forget. The other thing the parents should worry about is if they want them to ever get so much as a K mart back to school sale flyer.
If regular agents don’t want Mickie and Eden, just go ask 1 how many auditions they want to send a mess of booty slapping Honeybubu holladollas going on about Naneh at the strip club around to. With their agency name on them.
@snowshoecat…I always laugh at the titles of these pageants. My favourite was Eden’s last pageant, the “Rumble in the Jungle”, where, when she won her fixed title, she was declared the world champion of pageants!!! It wasn’t even a national pageant, let alone the “world championship”. These people are insane!
I think there is some hope for Traven. During one of his “monologues” he said “you need to make better choices” ****which tells me that perhaps he has been in a conselor or therapists office…..and listened. Hopefully he will get the guidance he needs and deserves.
****methinks he did not receive this advice from his mother.

@LoyalViewer Funny part is that Rumble in the jUngle was not her last pageant, it was about. 6-8 months after that. We were. There competiting, it was the girs’ 3rd pageant, Zoe was actually on for beauty because she was in the same group as Eden. There wwere some top notch girls there, so I am not sure how” “fair” it was :/
The thing with “rumble” that got to me was that according to the director, part of the prize package for the “world champion!” (of Louisville, Kentucky, apparently) was professional headshots. So why, then, on “eden’s world” does that child routinely show up at auditions with her glitz pics in hand?! Those ONLY serve a (albeit, strange, even to us “pageant folks”) purpose in pageants. Otherwise they’re useless.
^^Those glitz photos are the creepiest thing about pageants (other than when you see girls strip off a piece of clothing in their routine)!! I do like the sparkly dresses though lol.
On the subject of Eden Wood, her mum is completely delusional about how she makes Eden a “star”. Like they say on T&T all the time “if you want to run with the big dogs….” she really needs to get rid of that backwater agent and get a proper Hollywood agent and realize that the big wigs don’t want to see some photoshopped headshot. You would think she would at least get the kid some acting lessons and focus on acting or something at least rather than trying to do singing, dancing, reality, pageant coach and any other kind of tv PR she can get her hands on….or maybe she does realize that Eden has absolutely zero talent and is whoring her out just so she can get some publicity. Really the kid needs to be in school.
With the names of the pageants I love the one called Lollypops and gumdrops. It was cute and when I was a kid if I went into a room full of candy like that one was, I would have died on the spot!
@Beth, thanks for the insight
.or maybe she does realize that Eden has absolutely zero talent and is whoring her out just so she can get some publicity. Really the kid needs to be in school.
This.
I think Grown(groan) Ass Man Trevon and 17 year old Sammi Jo could live happily ever after.
Though, their child would have to ask Grandma to STOP working at the Pony.
You know, it’s messed up that they have to ask Grandma anything about the Pony at the same age they have to ask her to help them cross the street.
Yeah Kimmy, but somebody’s gotta make that money. Flippers and pimp cups don’t grow on trees;)
Now I have visions of an “Eden Wood: Pimp Cup” dancing in my head. Shparkle Baby! Hee!
@Brianna Quinn I hope you’re right. I thought most of his vocabulary words came from TV though. His pronunciation and everything else about how he talked was so different from his mom and grandmama.
So he’s got a natural ear but all that’s just so far ahead of his focusing skills etc that it comes out looking odd.
He reminded me of some scenes of Eden Wood, where you can tell she’s had 0 training in how to do anything like work beyond holding still to get her hair fixed and do her pageant routines. But unfortunately she’s either got 0 ear or never watches TV.
@Caligal, I’m sure that in ten years “16 and pregnant” won’t even be on – by that time, it won’t be scandalous anymore. I shudder to think of what the reality shows will be like then!
I would give anything to be a fly on the wall when the film crew of this show sits down for their lunch break !
Eden’s situation is ridiculous. Her “agent” looks like he’s seventeen, and as far as Heather, her “manager”, that woman has about as much class as my little finger. They are making a fool of themselves with those stupid headshots, and in one case Eden even gave the casting agent a copy of her book! Does Mickey really think anybody in the industry is interested in such drivel?
First I was not going to comment but a lot of u so called adults are pissing me the fuck off… Number one… the one little thing half of u putrid disgustingly insensitive people dont know is that some parts are……wait for it….. STAGED (gasp) yes people, they may want to show the child’s natural talent an personality but every once in a while they may add their own spin…
Second thing I want to point out is that traven is not stupid nor dumb or any other demeaning name you assholes are calling a 6 year old. He actually is a smart little boy, yes he has a vibrant personality and may get a little over the top but how many of these other kids on this damn show have been the same way? (Yep, point made)
All I’m seeing is more negative comments then anything… oh for whoever said he’s only going to be somebodies baby daddy!!! Hmm, could it actually be possible that not all black boys will grow up to be ” baby daddies” … part of me wants to truly tell you to go stick it up your ass & your daughter might be his target but that will only add to the baby daddy bs you threw out there… but yet nobody said anything about the ass smacking litttle girl… hmmm wonder if that’s a future stripper move… (see I’d be wrong for that wouldn’t I)… yet EVERYBODY is focused on TRAVEN…
its truly sad that you all can bash a little boy so much… smh… nobody says, oh well he did good, he’s a cutie pie, he loves doing what he does… funny thing is… its actually TRUE that his competition backed out when they found out he was competing …. (lmao) so despite you pathetic so called adults bashing him on the internet he’s taking it with a grain of salt & booking more shows…
Oh and since everyone can voice an opinion on here, be it childish or not I’m going to voice mine…
These kids are too damn young to run around in make up, fake tans, flippers, wigs, fake nails and even booty pops… (yes I know personally that there are some who wear them under ball gowns for portions of their show) …. but funny how its cute now & slutty when their 12-16… 99% of you would call me wrong for calling then future sluts or baby mamas wouldn’t u? … yet u all want to bash traven. (Kinda seems racial) but I wont pull that card…
Nobodies perfect and oh yeah.. HE’S SIX!!!!! So yes ppl, sleep well at night knowing that you bashed a little 6 year old…
Oh and to those who wish to reply to my post and state your opinion, please feel free to write here : (__________________) …. or realize that I dont give a flying f**k…
Hope all of the little ones keep having fun and that pageants go back to being pageants and not ways for mom’s to cat fight, ppl to hate on and judge kids and for these kids to actually learn more from it beside glitz and look mommy I’m wearing a two piece and shaking my but (cute now) but what about later… toodles
Oh how cute! A delusional mother shows up! Let me break it down for you hon– you live in a cheap assed trailer, your son at 6 knows what a strip club is, and he is already displaying alarming attitudes towards females in general. Yeah, his future does not look terribly bright. Hope I’m wrong, but those pesky statistics show otherwise.
There were not 8 boys entered into that pageant. I have more inside information than you realize and I know what I speak on this one. So please, stop your lying.
They’re baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.
Oh, darn, 100. Shparkle baby!
And just for the record, OES, Veruca knows what she’s talking about, so don’t try bullshitting us, now.
Oh you think I’m a mom, or his mom? How cute lmao… shoes how much you actually know… (not shit)
… hahaha and damn what she THINKS she knows because I can tell u wayyyyy more about TRAVENS filming then u think… so bullshit u is far from what I’m doing and didn’t I tell u not to reply unless it fit into that spot I left you for ur bullshit veruca?…. oh and read again… I never said the number of boys did I? Because if I dont know EXACTLY what I’m talking about I dont speak it… But I DO know that the ones who were entered DID drop like flies…. (never said a number because I wasn’t sure) …. but I’m sure there were some that dropped out…
So do me this one favor “Mrs. I know it all”… take your shit talking else where, preferably to someone who cares….
and yes I have more insight then YOU think…
toodles hunny
Yay! I commented originally just for this reason!
“Shoes what you know!” is my new war cry!
@OES, had you read our other mini and recaps you would have noticed we all hate the little girls booty popping and doing stripper moves. Hell, in the next ‘cap I said the little 3 year ole would be one of Traven’s baby momma’s. If you had read our previous caps you would have known that we also realize many of these families put on a show and have their children act ‘extra’. Had Traven stayed in the realm of ‘Exorcist’ and sassy mouth little boy…there wouldn’t really be much to say. The problem is the 6 year old boy not only knew what a strip club was and knew the name of the local ‘establishment’. To top it all of he did that sexual motion with his mouth and tongue.
Please help me understand how that is ‘putting on’ for the cameras? BTW, I recall reading that Traven was a very intelligent boy by the posters…
OES, you may not be a crazy pageant mom, but you’ll do just fine until a real one comes along. Don’t EVER change — we love you just the way you are.
Another crazy ass pageant mom. YAYYYYYY! Here’s a breakdown of your comment fancyface style….
First I was not going to comment but a lot of u so called adults are pissing me the fuck off… Number one… the one little thing half of u putrid disgustingly insensitive people dont know is that some parts are……wait for it….. STAGED (gasp) yes people, they may want to show the child’s natural talent an personality but every once in a while they may add their own spin…(ok, first of all, punctuation is your friend! Get to know it. BTW, calling us names doesn’t make you come off as klassy at all, besides, name calling? doesn’t bother us when coming from deranged pageant moms. It makes us love you more because it’s proof of your lack of intelligence.)
Second thing I want to point out is that traven is not stupid nor dumb (I think alot of us will agree that Traven is not ‘stupid or dumb’ (very redundant on your part) because he plays your dumb ass like a fiddle, so….yeah) or any other demeaning name you assholes are calling a 6 year old. He actually is a smart little boy, yes he has a vibrant personality and may get a little over the top but how many of these other kids on this damn show have been the same way? (Yep, point made) (what point do you think you’ve made by referencing other kids on this train wreck?)
All I’m seeing is more negative comments then anything…(duh) oh for whoever said he’s only going to be somebodies baby daddy!!! (very likely) Hmm, could it actually be possible that not all black boys will grow up to be ” baby daddies” (Don’t make this a race thing, honey boo boo child. As a BLACK woman, I can assure you that my analysis of your son has NOTHING to do with his race. The fact that a 6 year old symbolizes oral sex & knows about the local strip joint leads us to that conclusion) … part of me wants to truly tell you to go stick it (What exactly is it? Your illiterate sign telling your child ‘your 1′?) up your ass & your daughter might be his target (because thats the way every klassy mom thinks) but that will only add to the baby daddy bs you threw out there (yeah, but too late for rational thinking. YOU. Just. Said. THAT! Wow)… but yet nobody said anything about the ass smacking litttle girl… hmmm wonder if that’s a future stripper move… (see I’d be wrong for that wouldn’t I)… yet EVERYBODY is focused on TRAVEN… (So you really are illiterate? Did you NOT see the comments about the future Pony worker? This is an equal opportunity site. We rag on EVERYONE)
its truly sad that you all can bash a little boy so much… smh… nobody says, oh well he did good, he’s a cutie pie, he loves doing what he does… funny thing is… its actually TRUE that his competition backed out when they found out he was competing …. (lmao) so despite you pathetic so called adults bashing him on the internet he’s taking it with a grain of salt & booking more shows…(Traven didn’t ‘do good’ he CHOKED! REMEMBER? He’s definitely a cutie pie…until he opens his mouth. You have turned him into a spoiled, attention seeking little brat that will only get worse unless you rein him in. PRONTO!)
Oh and since everyone can voice an opinion on here, be it childish or not I’m going to voice mine…(Please do! It’s fun for us!)
These kids are too damn young to run around in make up, fake tans, flippers, wigs, fake nails and even booty pops… (yes I know personally that there are some who wear them under ball gowns for portions of their show) …. but funny how its cute now & slutty when their 12-16… 99% of you would call me wrong for calling then future sluts or baby mamas wouldn’t u? … yet u all want to bash traven. (Kinda seems racial) but I wont pull that card…(Refer to my ‘don’t try to make this racial’ comment above. Ok, I’m now convinced that you actually have a reading comprehension problem. If you would’ve taken a minute to look around this site & read some of the recaps you would know that not only do we agree with what you’re saying here, but WE’VE SAID IT TOO! Sheesh! You’re making me dumber. BTW? Pot meet kettle! A six year old boy SHOULDN’T YELL AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS AT HIS MOM BECAUSE HE THINKS ‘HE’S GROWN & THAT’S HIS HOUSE’. A six year old boy SHOULDN’T BE LICKING HIS FINGERS WHILE TALKING ABOUT WOMEN. A six year old boy is too young to KNOW THE NAME OF THE LOCAL STRIP JOINT & THEN SUGGEST HIS GRANDMA GETS A JOB THERE WHILE YOUR DUMB ASS LAUGHS AS IF IT’S CUTE. I could go on about the things that a six year old boy shouldn’t be doing, but your child is, but something tells me it’ll go right over your head.)
Nobodies perfect and oh yeah.. HE’S SIX!!!!! So yes ppl, sleep well at night knowing that you bashed a little 6 year old…
Oh and to those who wish to reply to my post and state your opinion, please feel free to write here : (__________________) …. or realize that I dont give a flying f**k…(if you didn’t, you wouldn’t have commented)

You know, I really didn’t have a negative feeling toward you after watching the show. I just thought you were playing it up for the cameras, you really do love your son & wants him happy, and were a little clueless about what to do with his ‘vibrant personality’, but after your comment???? Yeah..not so much!
BTW, next time comment on the full recap so everyone can participate in the fun! They usually don’t come here to comment once the full cap is up & I don’t want them deprived of your p.o.v. It’s called ‘That’s So Traven’ if you can’t find it. It covers your child even more than this little minicap & it’s AWESOME
OES, if you’re not Traven’s mom I’ll eat my shoe. On 2nd thought, your comment sounds a TAD smarter than the woman who created the ‘Your 1′ poster, so who knows. Irregardless, you sound really dumb! I wish you would’ve looked around the site or read some of the other recaps and comments before you made yours because you’d know that we don’t like the stripper moves or disrobing some of the girls do on that show AT ALL, so your comments saying that we don’t are ridiculous. Shoes what you know!
First and foremost let me make this clear… I AM NOT his mother!!! So once again for you who claim to know it all. Speak what you know…
And like I said in the beginning some parts were staged… I know for a fact that there were several scenes CUT that were filmed before the parts u people are talking shit about…
And AGAIN for those whwho seem to know everything… I saw that some dont agree with whàt everyone is saying here…my comment was solely directed to the people who just decided to sit down an bash a little boy so much like its a damn sport… and the reason I decided to post about TRAVEN is because over 1/2 of the comments were about him…
Oh for knowing the name of the strip club comment..
Ummmm, the boy can actually read and the sign is as big as day in the next town where his family works. Do I agree with EVERYTHING he did or said? Ummmm, no. But you people are making the whole damn thing a BASH TRAVEN game and why?….
And making you dumber? Nope, that’s 100% your doing Hun so please don’t place the blame here because I could care less how u feel about my comment. I simply did what everyone else here did which was state my opinion. Seems like I’ve stepped on a few toes.
But either way u want to spin it, I still feel the same way about pageants.
Oh and your right the parents need to be held accountable but its funny how it was more name calling and bashing of TRAVEN himself then the actual PARENT. WHICH AGAIN IS NOT ME…
Then eat that shoe fancyface because I’m not his mom. Never said I didn’t know him or any of the other pageant kids personally so once again people are steadily assuming things lol…
Oh an for the autocorrect mishaps – I do apologize but I still said what I had to say.
I read all of the comments and I’ve seen damn near every bash traven page or site there is so people please let that go… it seems like that’s the only thing I’m hearing (reading) … bottom line is there was a lot of bashing on this little boy and most of it was pure trash.. if u notice I didn’t say anything about the ones who pointed out the parent needs to be at fault, only the ones who decided “hey, I’m bored, lets call this little boy names because the show made him out to be this terrible kid” and for the person who said the parents or producers or (both) staged or amped up his reactions
(YES!!!!!!!) I can’t begin to explain how much it was done. I’m not saying traven wasn’t over the top and needed his butt whooped on a part or two but most of it was done by the show… (like any other show)….
And before I end this comment…
Once again… I AM NOT TRAVENS MOM..
No, OES! NO! That is not an excuse for him to not only know the name of the local strip joint, but he also knows what it is & what goes on in there. We have a strip club on the main road my kids travel to school. It’s called Cookies n Cream (if you can imagine..smh) AND it has 2 HUGE silhouettes of a naked woman on it, BUT ask my 6 or 10 year old and even my 16 year old what Cookies n Cream is & they’ll say it’s ice cream or a candy bar. So, ‘passing’ by a sign does not excuse his knowledge of the club! Period! I can imagine a 6yr old looking out the window and reading that sign and asking his parents what it is of course, but that’s it! Who told him what it is & what goes on there? How does he know what the words ‘strip joint’ is? NOT BUYING THE B.S!
And Traven acts the way he does BECAUSE of his parents! If they didn’t tolerate or even praise that nonsense, it wouldn’t be happening! The comments bash his actions & the things he says, not him as a child because he is CLEARLY a product of his surroundings.
Question. If there are multiple “bash Traven” sites, and I’ll have to take your word for it as I don’t care enough about you or him to look, shouldn’t that be a red flag that something is very wrong with his behavior and the way he is being rasied? If his brief time on television has caused people from all over the country to spend time to create pages to discuss him? Oh, wait, I forget. That means he’s a STAR, right?
We are not here to bash Traven. We are here to bash everyone that puts themselves on TV.
If Traven was a purple martian and did and said the things Traven did, I’d still expect him to be babydaddy because if he is that hypersexual at SIX, he’s going to be hittin’ it young and often.
And just because the child can read the word Pony, doesn’t mean he should have a clue about what the place is, nor recommend his Grandmother get a job there.
As you said, I’m just voicing my opinion. TVGasm is bitchin’ like that.
@TVKimmy
Oh honey, you not caring doesn’t bother me, in fact we have that one thing in common as I could care even LESS about u
Oh and for you comment about not being here to bash traven but to bash everyone who puts themselves on TV… ummmm how much does that job pay? Because you my darling should be paid top dollar!!! In fact I had the pleasure of reading your comments and u bashed him & his actions so I guess my comments were directed towards u as well as some others…
Now if 100% of you would have commented the way you are NOW they it would have been more about his parents then him… yes some of u mentioned its the parents fault or how he is being raised but again the MAJORITY was name calling an straight BULLSHIT …
Seems like now I’m getting more, oh its the parent its the parent then I saw in the beginning …. funny how you all can assume so much about him and not truly know him.
I didn’t judge the ass smacking kid (on this episode) or the screaming terror on another show… or the little chubby girl in a tube top (on previous) shows… my reaction is always “what the hell is her “”MOM”" thinking” … not OMG what’s that little girls issue…
Personally, I said the following about traven: he’s a really cute kid. He is obviously very smart. He might actually have a future in acting or modeling. He desperately needs better parenting. Look, OES– this isn’t any of our first rodeos. We all get that things are staged/edited to look as crazy as possible. And I even get that with a kid like traven with that kind of outgoing personality the producers could have got him to do or say nearly anything. But for a 6 yr old to not only know what “the pony” is, but to suggest his grandma get a job there– to make that sexual gesture– to scream “I deserve this house!!!”, etc., while the adults in his life LAUGH– that’s where I have issues. That particular system doesn’t usually have boys, let alone EIGHT of them and since if you “drop out” you do not get a refund, yes, I find it HIGHLY unlikely that that was the case. The judges were right– cute kid, nice attire, good personality, but his only eye contact was with the floor. Get him out of pageants and into dance or acting classes– he’d flourish at that. It saddens me to see kid’s growing up that fast. He’s SIX. Girls should still have cooties, legos should be amazing, and under no circumstances should he know what “the pony” is or suggest grandma should work there.
Okay, here’s what I don’t get “OES” – you come on here and tell people to take their shit elsewhere…um, why did you come here in the first place? Most of these commenters have been through many seasons of this show and are very welcome. I want their shit here! Like you wrote, we think we know everything. But Gasmii commenters back that up by KNOWING EVERYTHING. It’s a gift, really.
Also, we actually DO want your shit here, because you pageant families are f#cknuts and are really our bread and butter. Enjoy the full recap, there were no holds barred about your soon-to-be-baby daddy. And believe me, he’s going in that direction HEAD FIRST.
So from all of us, WELCOME! We love pageant moms/families here – especially your bastardization of the English language.
And I bet Traven knows what the “Got Wood?” sign means, hands down.
@Fancyface…..you are right on. Good points.
@OES ……… are you his grandmother? Just a guess! Took you awhile to post. Market slow on hot computers?
To all — as a landscaper you can get alot of mileage out of shrubs, trees, & plants around your dirty yards. Have lived in trailers in the past & for a couple of hundred (less then pageants) you can add to environment , beauty, & quality of life by cleaning up our ugly home yards. Of course if you are lazy ??????? well fuck it.
Pageant grandmother… I get your point 100% and never said he was right in what he did or said and its not my first rodeo nor pony ride…
Dear crabby… all I really want to say is fuck you… oh wait, I said it… I’m not a pageant parent nor (to the comment below you) his grandmother and I reply at the pace I want… actually because I’m at work and frankly I’d rather work then make it my business to “immediately” reply ….
And I keep telling you people I saw it all!!! Yes I’ve seen everything from calling him a “bastard ass nigger” to your comments about being a baby daddy… so believe me when I say I’ve seen/read it all…
Oh and sorry hunny cakes but I don’t live in that town nor am I from that town but I do KNOW that town and since everybody wants to KNOW it all… they didn’t film his portion in his town, you actually saw three towns… so for the one who said dont bullshit you because u know more then I think… yea I think I told u already that I know WAYYYYYYY more then u think … and my “bastardization” of the English language …. lmao… that really all I can say because I find that amazingly funny coming from someone who can talk shit about ANY KID…
And for the last damn time… IM NOT HIS MOTHER, NOR HIS GRANDMOTHER NOR A DAMN PAGEANT MOM… BUT I DO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IM TALKING ABOUT
ESPECIALLY THIS SHOW AND ABOUT HIM
@OES, snarks aside no one should call anyone of any age a “bastard ass n**ger”. I’m sorry you had to read those horrible words regarding Traven…but don’t swing that HATRED towards us. You have read we have a problem with his sexual knowledge, most if not all adults would. We stated fact not hate nor used those awful words…simply saying calm it down a notch.
This is what I’m saying. Your so quick to assume and judge that all of you who have replied think I’m…
From that town, or live in that town
Either his mom or grandmother
find that I need to “clean” a yard that isn’t mine
or that I somehow condone or turned a blind eye to his behavior…
NO…. some of the things traven did were agreeably wayyyy over the top and I wouldn’t dare allow my boys to speak or act like that… (and I forgot who said it) but before you say something I never said I wasn’t a mother I said I wasn’t HIS… I have two boys and they are raised to be polite and show respect
Yes ma’am no ma’am
yes sir no sir
Please, thank you and excuse me…
Never would my 5 year old raise a hand to me, or he’d seriously be knocked into next week and whoever doesn’t like that well oh the hell well… but my son will never do anything that I don’t approve of.. my three month old will be raised the same way…
The solely reason for posting was because I can’t see how so many ppl could call him so many names and bash him like crazy… it just makes no sense to Me and like I said… I’ve seen it all and I don’t like any of it… to talk about any kids (personally) is insane and yes you all did it but now your yelling your not bashing him but his action… but calling him out of his name is doing more then only talking about his actions….
OES, do you really BLAME anyone for guessing that you are the mother or grandmother or aunt given all your defensiveness about this ONE kid on this stupid show with many kids on it? That you are the mother is a damn good first guess even if that guess turns out to be wrong, and since you seem to enjoy keeping your relationship with him close to your chest just means that we have to keep guessin’. Oh wait, you’re not one of the strippers at that club, are you? Just a guess.
@crankyguy..I’m pretty sure she’s one of his baby mamas. She’ll defend him until he stops the child support payments with his allowance.
@ moli I agree… him knowing anything sexual was one of the things that I kinda did a double take at the TV…
I’m not saying anything like that was right nor should they have put that in the show. His mom played it off but he actually got in trouble after that filming and the talk about calming down …
I just didn’t like that HE was being called sooooo many horrible names…. if its directed towards the parents I have nothing to say at all… but it kinda hit a nerve that people would call him names like that
Everyone has the right to voice an opinion but Idk why ppl would do it towards a child
O..K..OES! UNCLENCH sheesh. So maybe you’re not his mother or grandmother, but I’m guessing by your fondness of incorrectly using a preposition that you wrote that poster they had!
Your=something that belongs to you
You’re as in you are=something that you are doing
Learn the difference & stop making illiterate posters! ‘Your Welcome’
I just went back and looked at what I had posted. I found this: “For the record, I do not blame Traven for the things he did that I found inappropriate, rude or horrifying. The kid is 6 years old. I blame his parents and caregivers. I couldn’t do 98% of what these kids do when I was their age without my parents take care of it, right quick. And I don’t really think anyone else on here is blaming the him. Gasmi are smarter then that.”
So before you go around accusing me of bashing a child, learn to read. I’ll own it when I do.
Now, I did agree that he was heading for babydaddy status and unless something changes, he sure as hell is. He’s not old enough for what he knows now. What is he going to be doing when he’s 16!?!?
I have already stated before to forgive my autocorrect mishap, I tend to text using your vs you’re and I had no true desire to correct things like that on this post, hell I find myself using “u” vs “you” but I just didn’t correct myself. I’m just stating my opinion that was all…
OES– No, no boys dropped like flies from that pageant. They allowed Traven by the request of TnT. THAT is why there was only 1 boy. And even at that, there are seldom more than 3 boys at ANY pageant and none of them are going to drop because some random no-name pageant kid is coming. By no-name I mean he isn’t a national level kid. He is cute and clearly a smart child, but needs some serious parenting changes. Boys who win a lot in pageantry are not a big deal, there aren’t that many who compete. Its like being in a race against 2 or 3 people.
“What is he going to be doing when he’s 16!?!?”
If Sixteen and Pregnant is still being produced, then maybe we all will find out.
@crankyguy. My Mom watches Maury. I’ll ask her to keep an eye out.
Hey OES..when you get a minute, can you ask Traven what delican mean? It’s really been puzzling me since he said that’s what he wanted to be. I’m curious to see if I want to aspire to be delican as well. Thanks
Hell Idk what it is but if he wants to be it then by all means let him be it, next year it’ll be something different and then the year after that something else… I say let him aspire to be whatever he wants but just tone down the behavior… and to be honest he really is NOT that bad or anything, just a task to grown but doesn’t deserve to be called names.
Hi OES – I really wish you would have pulled the race card here – the people on TVGasm are equal opportunity in their bashing of Toddlers and Tiaras. I have a serious question – I was wondering how Traven knows how to do the oral sex gesture with his mouth and fingers. That really bothered me. I have a 9-year-old son and can’t imagine exposing him to such a gesture.
It is nice of you stand up for your family member/friend (by the way – I hope you are his aunt so I can tell you that I love his little girl cousin!). However, it is probably a losing battle to argue on this site. It is a snarky site written for people to get recaps of their favorite shows and make fun of some of the ridiculous stuff we see on TV.
She DID pull the race card, but slipped it back in the deck real quick. It’s kinda like, “I ain’t callin’ y’all racists, but you’re probably racists.”
Considering several of the last episodes have had black children (girls, I think traven is only the second black boy to be followed), and we’ve had largely good things to say about them, clearly that isn’t the case– OES– take a step back. Pretend you don’t know traven or his family and had only seen the show– your perspective wouldn’t be far off from ours, right?
@Ms. Cool
I actually have no idea how or why he knows that gesture, I was just as shocked when I saw it, even had a dropped jaw at the “rear smacking the other little girl did” its all funny to the parents now but later it can have some damaging consequence …. I dont condone that behavior at all but others just seem to run with the whole thing … that was my only issue… ppl called him some horrible names…
Oh and I said I didn’t want to pull the race card meaning I’d like to think that people would call a 6 year old boy all of the horrible shit I saw but hell I was wrong….
Like I said … everyone has an opinion and that’s cool just keep it respectful when your talking about these kids… if your going to blame anyone let it be the parents and not call him names
Thanks for the response @OES. This a fun minicap to follow but it can get ugly here sometimes – especially when a family member or fun come on to defend a child or family.
I do have to say that I was really bothered by Traven’s behavior – in a worrisome way rather than offensive. My first comment on the thread reflects that. He appears so worldly (in a bad way) and his family seems to think that everything he does is funny. It is really a bad combination. I know some of it can be editing but not all of it.
@Mrs. Cool
I never said I wouldn’t be shocked or anything of that nature… for some reason NO ONE is getting what I’m saying… this is beyond wrong to talk shit about a little boy which is TOTALLY different then stating your opinion about his behavior…and for those who are bold enough to say yeah I talked about HIM and not his bahavior or the ones who simply just wanted to make fun or call him names… I was directing it towards you…
To the ones who truly had something to say about him needed to be corralled before it got too far, I agree (even tho TLC did have a hand in pumping him up an putting more of his not so good moments on the show) I see the point and that’s what I’ve said time and time and time again on this site…
Be man or woman enough to say yeah I feel good talking shit about a six year old because THEN you’ll know I was directing my comment towards you, I just didn’t go thru all 89+ to single out names..
And I’d defend any child from being talked about an dogged … black white or whatever race or gender…. I dont condone the behavior, (my boys would be knocked back into the womb if they EVER were to show anything but respect an impeccable behavior) granted kids will be kids but MINE will be as I raise them…
Now in saying that I can say that traven does have manners because I’ve seen him speak with such respect that if you were to see him in that capacity you wouldn’t believe it was him on the show
All I’m saying people is these kids aren’t at fault so why call em names or make fun of “them”? Instead of directing it towards who it should be directed to…
Now if the family sees this and has an issue with what I said, hey it’s my opinion but i can promise you I wouldn’t dare call him out of his name nor talk about him like he isn’t shit
OES I don’t really give a shit if you are Traven’s mom, grandma, grandpa, future baby momma whatever, you are not doing well in your argument.
We already think the mothers/relations to the children featured on Toddlers and Tiaras are off their nut crazy, by coming in here and throwing shit at everyone, you and all the other mothers that have done this in the past are just proving our point!
Why is it every time a black child comes up people pull out the racist argument? I would have said the same thing about some hillbilly white child that showed exceptionally advanced sexual development and actions that imitate oral sex. Please, he is going to a baby daddy within the next 10-12 years. Prove me wrong!
No doubt that kids mother loves him, but she is going about it all wrong if she is expecting her kid to be ‘the next president’ and since the presidential primary votes are already done, they better start hauling ass – and toddlers and tiaras is not a substantial campaign approach. Instead, she is letting him get away with all kinds of crap like his bad aggressive attitude and letting him see far too much of this world for a six year old…it’s called making him go to bed before all that crap comes on TV. seriously the kid needs to be treated like a kid because right now he is on the slippery slope of becoming a baby daddy, in jail, aggressive. That is not because he is black, that is because he has no boundaries.
And before you get all up in my face ready to rip my (non existent) weave off and telling me to go fuck myself, go and consider how the other crazy defensive relatives have come across because fugly Jennifer Lopez getting all psycho on here a few weeks ago did not make our opinion of her or her pit-bull slapping, screaming, non-communicative (blonde haired, blue eyed, very caucasian looking) daughter any more positive. Add it all up my friend.
To gain respect you have to earn it. Something traven needs to be taught.
First off I could give two rats asses about what the fuck you say… and I dont have to argue with anyone so miss me with your bullshit and I’m not a fucking pageant mom so I could care less
And to be 100% clear u ignorant fuck!!!! I said before the race card wasn’t one I was pulling… after my INITIAL comment about it I didn’t go on and on about it being because he was black UNTIL someone else brought it back up… so again miss me with the bullshit…
Now I didn’t come on here to snap out or get out of character, buy you sweetheart have pissed me off… do me a favor an read every damn thing I posted… it was directed toward jackasses talking shit about a little kid… I dont give a fuck if you think he’s gonna be a “baby daddy” or in jail… that’s your fucking opinion… the same shit was said about my damn brother and he’s no where near jail and has no kids so just the those that judged him the ones who judge traven can pretty much kiss his ass (in jail or not) … now since you OBVIOUSLY missed my point Hun …. it was to point out how damn near half of the shit on here bashed HIM… YES some mentioned his behavior and how the parents should be at fault but wtf do you get out of calling a child names? … see its simpled minded pricks like u that piss me the fuck off…
I deal with enough having to hear my little brother be told that since he’s half black he’s gonna be a nobody so HELL YEAH I’m going to voice my opinion when so called adults decide to talk shit about a kid…
And as I’ve CLEARLY said about 30 damn times… I dont condone the behavior… so get that thru your thick ass head (non existent weave or not) get it thru that damn skull…
Its funny how some assumed I was his mom, grandmom or even kin to him, lived in that town or was even here on the moms behalf… just the same way your assuming he’s gonna be shit when he grows up and as for u bashing kids equally (not using those words) … its still screwed up …
Now I’m gonna go back to editing my YouTube videos and get ready for work so have a very lovely night and go back to your kid bashing …. or as TVKimmy called it (your job)….
(Oh and for the guy/girl, that loved to point out any spelling errors, no sir/ma’am I did not proof read nor give a shit about doing so) ….
Out of everything I fucking said NONE of u got the point… bad behavior which I never said was ok nor cute, but damn get off his back, he’s six and just as he shouldn’t know anything about sexual gestures he also shouldn’t know mfrs like you exist to talk shit about kids …
What pisses Me off is that NOW some of the ones who were only bashing him is now saying “oh its the parent” .well say that shit in the beginning instead of calling him out of his name or coming at him with dumb shit…
& like I said “HARRIET” its not a argument so I dont give a shit if u think I’m doing well or not… I said what I had to say and I’ll stand behind it.
Have a nice night
Forgive my grammatical errors and any autocorrect and spelling mishaps, but an opinion is like an ass hole…. just like mine doesn’t matter to you, yours doesn’t mean shit to me, but I still said it loud & clear
I dont condone some of his behavior & hate how the show made him look but damn, be adults & place the blame instead of talking shit & calling HIM names and making him the butt of all your ignorant jokes
@OES. That’s the second damn time you’ve put words in my mouth. The first time you said I bashed Traven for his behavior. I reposted my comment and proved that wrong (#123) Which you never responded to. And now I supposedly said this was my or a job? What the hell are you talking about? Do you even know? Show me where I said this shit or stop making it up.
Ummmm sweetheart run back and read your comments THEN come back and tell me where I’m putting words in your mouth
YES TVKimmy, read your 4pm post…
#EnoughSaid on the it being your job issue & I read & replied to you other post… just didn’t put @TVKimmy… so no I’m not putting words in your mouth
OES, I love the “fuck you, fuck you, fuck you ignorant shits” followed by a polite “Have a nice night.” If you aren’t a crazy pageant mom, you should be.
You said “we’re not here to bash traven, were here to bash everyone who puts themselves on TV… an I replied that you made it seem like it was your job or something and if so you should be getting paid top dollar… now where did I put words in your mouth? It was you who made it seem like this was a damn job… so once again like I said 30 + comments ago, I dont speak on what I dont know and YOU made it seem like “oh we’re here to talk shit about everyone ” and that seems like a job to me and I asked u if it was “your job”
@crankyguy
Eh, it is what it is
Just because she pissed me off doesn’t mean she shouldn’t have a nice night…& no thanks I’ll pass on being a pageant mom… I’m happy being a baseball, soccer and karate mom. Apparently these pageant moms are a little to cut throat for me
Through the use of quotation marks, are you implying that I am not a real person? Ha!
For someone that “isn’t arguing” “doesn’t care” what we think, you are ranting more than Alec Baldwin with an answering machine. Get a grip.
I honestly don’t care enough to plow my way through every piece of vomit that comes out of your mouth. In MY opinion, Traven is probably a nice little boy with a family that loves him….HOWEVER, he has been given no structure to his life, no boundaries, no discipline, most likely no respectable male role models, And basically nobody to tell that kid “no” or that it isn’t alright to speak to an adult he doesn’t know and tell her that he is going to beat her daughter, or it isn’t alright for him to make inappropriate sexual gestures, or it isn’t alright for him to yell at his mother aggressively that he owns this ‘house’, or it isn’t alright for him to tell his grandmother to go and work as a stripper. Someone needs to put that kid into line because a six year old that has no social concept or moral ground is on the path to destruction as a teen and adult. Maybe he will get off that path and turn into a respectable adult. But since there are people like you that know this kid and also don’t know when to shut the fuck up, it casts doubt into my (thick) mind.
Get real.
You put words in mouth when you said this “…. or as TVKimmy called it (your job)….” I never said job. You did. Or did autocorrect mess that up too?
Eh, “Harriet” I really could care less about you either so it seems we are on the same page there, funny how u still don’t see that I constantly state that I dont agree with his behavior and yet its still several of you still commenting so arguing it isn’t (until you pissed me off) … now that I spoke my mind I will get back to my video editing and you can go back to whatever it is you were doing
Oh and as far as me shutting the fuck up… ummmm, weren’t you the one who decided to comment again after I clearly stated to have a nice night? … now it looks like you need to shut the fuck up
Oh and as for me being in his life, honey if I was then we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Now like I said before you clearly missed the first time ….
Have a nice fucking night… I’ve said this shit 1000 times… can’t remember who said it, but they were right about wasting my time posting here… looks like Me doing so stepped on a few toes and made a few of you a little mad… do I care? Eh, not really… do you all finally get the point, eh, I doubt it… but (you have an excuse) your head is to thick…
Toodles
TVKimmy…do you read ANYTHING other then what you want to see appear on the screen? Because I CLEARLY said I replied to your post and asked was it your job because u OBVIOUSLY made it seem that way… and if so you should have been paid top dollar… now scroll back up & find that comment… then find the one where I reply to your post AFTER that since u said I didn’t….
Yes you made it seem like it was your JOB to be on here bashing “Everyone who puts themselves on TV”
You saying “have a nice night” means I need to shut up? I am happy to comment on this a million times, idiots like you are just entertainment – like running with the bulls, it’s fun!!
Stop getting your weave messed up over TvKimmy, she is reading what is written. You are the one that seems to be getting all hypocritical and imagining things!
Now since you don’t care what the fuck we have to say, are about to go and do your YouTube editing and have already said goodnight to everyone, I assume you will not post a single comment more? Or are you going to keep being a hypocrite and posting comments?
OES– when you first commented here, you mentioned some very vile language (b*a*n) that I am very certain never ever happened her on gasm. Did you see that somewhere else? Facebook? I’d like to know because that is never okay language to use against anybody, let alone a child, and I can see how if you saw that and then were led here, how your blood would already be boiling, and you might not really read what people were saying. I totally get that. But if you remove that horrid language, pretend you don’t know traven or his family, and that all you know of them is what you saw on the show– you can totally see where we are coming from, right? You said you have 2 sons. Imagine if traven was a girl– who knows the name of the local strip club and suggests that grandma should work there; makes a sexually suggestive gesture with her hands and mouth; claims (at SIX!) to have a bunch of boyfriends. Would you not be concerned?! That is where we are. I am sorry you had to see that language used– it’s not okay. But it didn’t happen here, that I saw. Traven is a cute kid. He cleary is very smart. He may get far in this life, but kids who are smart like that need direction that it doesn’t seem like he is getting.
Hi again OEM – I just want to address this statement from you:
Out of everything I fucking said NONE of u got the point… bad behavior which I never said was ok nor cute, but damn get off his back, he’s six and just as he shouldn’t know anything about sexual gestures he also shouldn’t know mfrs like you exist to talk shit about kids …
I totally agree with you that a six-year-old shouldn’t have to know that people talk shit about him. However, how on earth would he know unless someone told him? Another way this could be avoided is to NOT HAVE HIM ON TV.
I’m not asking you to defend his parents. I can appreciate that you feel you are protecting him and sticking up for him. I am glad that you said he is polite and hope that he grows up to be as good as a man as your brother is.
I believe a lot of us did get your point – don’t pick on a little kid. I think most people were in fact critical of the parenting and his behavior. I actually don’t think there is anything wrong with this – it was put before us on a television show for entertainment. We can comment that a child is acting like a brat on TV just as easily as we can turn to a girlfriend in McDonald’s and whisper about a bratty kid there.
I found this child to be one of the most disturbing children I have seen on Toddlers and Tiaras. His sexual knowledge makes me wonder what he has been privy to and makes me worry that he could have been in an unseemly position at some point in the past. It was very creepy. He is treated with such high regard and little parenting that many people are predicting that he will get into some type of trouble later in life due to this treatment. I am happy that you said he is nice in person and that you also admit that this is behavior that you would never put up with yourself. He did not come across as nice at all on the show though I am aware of the editing. Another mom that comments on here (Beth) had a daughter on the show and said that she had to be cautious of how they edited.
I wonder – was the family happy with the way Traven was depicted on the show?
Oh – sorry about that – OES, not OEM…
@pageant-grandma, yes I was sent a link to YouTube, Facebook and twitter pages and I wasn’t going to comment at all until he was called a NIGGER and this link was then posted, and I’ve agreed countless times that what I saw without knowing traven nor any knowledge of what parts were edited and cut I’d seriously beat my son back into the womb. My son is being raised to use yes ma’am no ma’am, please, thank you excuse and and has been reading since he was one, is learning sign language now plays sports and love martial arts class, I dont condone anything that is disrespectful nor would make him fit into a statistic..
He already has two strikes against him (regarding society)
1: he’s black
2: he’s a male…so do any and everything in my power to make sure he is not judge on what he looks like rather then what he has to offer and I say all of this to let u all see that despite my moment of getting out of character I agree that a six year old shouldn’t KNOW what the pony is even tho there is a 1/2 naked woman doing “sexual gestures ” on the sign outside as u drive by.
I never said I agreed with his behavior I was pissed that people were actually talking bad about him and not his behavior ….
Here’s the thing: when people really truly “don’t give a fuck”?… they don’t feel the need to keep coming back and responding with 8473685683 lines of rants directed at EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. WHO. EVER. COMMENTED.
2 cents spent!
love, J-Mo
Ms. COOL I see your point … and I agree 100% and no the family doesn’t. They support him in his pageant but have said that he was a little too much. I dont condone his behavior because I dont want my son doing anything like that…
Now I’ve got to wrap up my video editing so I can turn this phone off and head to bed… is there anyone else who wishes to comment… if so refer back to my previous posts or read the following…
•Not his mother, nor grandmother
•Dont condone some of the things he did or said …
• could care less about how you feel towards me but I find it repulsive that SOME of you bashed HIM vs his behavior
•have two boys of my own and no my son does not compete in pageants so I’m not a pageant mom and he wouldn’t dare exude any behavior beside those I am proud of
•No I didn’t use the race card but I didn’t mention race… and ONLY brought it back up because someone made a comment about it.
•im NOT FROM that town nor am I unsure about what I know regarding traven, the pageant and how I feel towards it all
•and I believe that pageants need to be toned down and kids need to be kids, all of the over the top glitz is unnecessary to me….
•and once again I could give two rats asses how u feel about me nor what u say about me stating my opinion or otherwise so if u have nothing else to say then good night
Sorry ms. Cool that first paragraph was for you… the other was to Harriet … at j-mo… eh, your right so I guess that goes for the ones who still comment back after telling me the same thing right… yup I think so
OES– that is truly horrible that that sort of language was used, and I am sorry that you had to see that. It’s not right, on any level, and especially not when discussing a CHILD. I can totally understand why your knickers were in a knot. Please do note, however, that that didn’t happen HERE. We honestly have not said anything that, if you didn’t have inside information, you might not have thought yourself, right?
Pageant -grandma.
No I agreed 200% on the behavior part especially hitting his mom… I’m a grown woman and I’m still scared to forget to use yes and no ma’am around my mom. I was upset at the comment about him looking like a girl or talking about him as a person.and if it wasn’t so late I could probably remember the exact comment that made me want to post… but all I said was an opinion about his behavior was totally not what I was aiming at it was the bashing of him and talking about him…. I never wanted to get out of character but several people felt like I was directing it towards them which I might have been if they were the ones talking about a six year old like he was an adult and yes he knows people are talking about him
Other kids have said… my mommy said this to my aunt about you and to be honest it’s sad but I see its apart of the pageant world I guess…
I wasn’t trying to make a point just state my opinion….
OES-It is not cool that you read someone calling him (or anyone else for that matter) the n-word, but IT WASN’T SAID BY ANYONE HERE, so why do you keep writing it here?? Take the use of that ignorant word up with the responsible ignorant party.
The Gasm is an equal opportunity snarklerama without regard to race, sex, creed, religion, age, or national origin. Our comments come from exactly what we see on tv.
This show is chock full o’crazy, which equates to good times for me. If you feel that there is unfair manipulation of participants through editing, then bitch to TLC, because no one can help you here. We love it long time.
Well since you have said that the following this was all directed at me ( in post 156), I thought I would grace you with my right of reply………
•Not his mother, nor grandmother —– I never said you were!
•Dont condone some of the things he did or said —–yet you seem to be highly aggressive towards me when I point out his BEHAVIOR. so if you feel the same way about his behavior as I do why are you acting like such a psycho.
• could care less about how you feel towards me but I find it repulsive that SOME of you bashed HIM vs his behavior —– do tell me where I bashed him as opposed to his behavior? Point it out specifically with your infamous quotations!
•have two boys of my own and no my son does not compete in pageants so I’m not a pageant mom and he wouldn’t dare exude any behavior beside those I am proud of —- I have at no point commented on your son or his behavior. When you go on national TV however, I will comment on it! Why are you even bringing your own son I to this? It’s not about you or your son, it’s about Traven!
•No I didn’t use the race card but I didn’t mention race… and ONLY brought it back up because someone made a comment about it—-actually you continually bring up race (I can show you example of your comments if you still don’t get it) I DO NOT judge a person on their race. Some of the most impressive kids on this show are black and all (excluding Traven) of the worst kids on this show were white!! Get over it, no one is pulling up the race thing except YOU!
•im NOT FROM that town nor am I unsure about what I know regarding traven, the pageant and how I feel towards it all —– well you certainly are familiar with ‘the pony’ and the size of it’s sign, current place of work is it?
•and I believe that pageants need to be toned down and kids need to be kids, all of the over the top glitz is unnecessary to me ——um yes so? I’m not into pageants, I watch a one hour show once a week. Of course they need to be toned down people put fake hair and fake nails on a 1 year old, you aren’t shocking anyone on this site with your insight!
•and once again I could give two rats asses how u feel about me nor what u say about me stating my opinion or otherwise so if u have nothing else to say then good night —– likewise. But I do have something to say, hence this post.
OES, I have to ask. How many websites are you defending Traven on?
I just want to get a good gauge of how crazy you are.
Sooooo late to the party. Sigh. Haven’t even been able to read the overnight comments ’cause I was asleep. I know. Wasted time.
I was so wrong. When I watched the last epi with the adorable 3 year old blonde with the insane mother who sleeps with her I thought well, Traven will be forgotten.
No so obvs. But I DO have a theory. Way knack when Eden was a child, everybody went ballistic over her crazy mom and the fact that a child with so little to offer except facial beauty in an odd Ann Nicole way, won over girls as pretty and more talented. Now she has her own show.
Then we had Alana with her rather outrageous stripper “hollah for a dollar” catchphrase. We went crazy and wrote in, giving her lots of publicity. Now she has her own show.
Traven would have been forgotten if OES hadn’t written in fanning the flames and keeping him visible for no apparent reason. Bucking for a Traven show? Why not. It has all the elements, cute but misguided child, crazy, enabling guardians, sadly neglected trailer for a home. Hey, Trave is a STAH!
OES, I am concerned about you and especially your children. You need help. You have serious anger issues, and must be out of touch with reality to get as upset (to say the least) over a few comments made about a child on a tv program.
If this set you off, what else does? You sound like homeless people (although you probably have a home since the public library has time limits on using the ‘puters) wandering the street ranting at demons only they can see.
If you do have children, heaven help them. You really do sound demented, if not insane. No rational person goes off like you do for any reason.
We laugh at you, but your comdition is very scary. And sad. You need psychiatric help. Or you are off your meds.
Wait, no one else can see those demons that are running around trying to steal my beer. Hmmm…that explains alot.
@OES – I have to comment on this…in your comment #153, you wrote:
He already has two strikes against him (regarding society)
1: he’s black
2: he’s a male…
Guess what? There’s another guy that’s both black and a male and they call him Mr. President! That kind of attitude becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when you are brought up with it.
And the commenters are correct – if you really don’t care what we say, why do you keep coming back and arguing? The more defensive you are, the more you obviously DO care.
Dear Crabby you should have ended your comment with “The More you Know” *shooting star*
@Crabby you took the words right out of my mouth.
In most cases the only thing holding back a young man of African descent is himself. In this day and age while there is still some lingering racism, for the most part that argument is moot. These words are coming from a Brown woman with a family full of Brown men. ..who happened to marry one to boot
Still commenting people?
Ok now it seems like I stepped on wayyy to many of your toes in here so let me reply to the late arrivals
Snowshoecat… yes hunny your late to the show but I’m glad you put up and chair and decided to throw out your assumptions well first it appears you can’t read because I’ve said SEVERAL times this is not my child, my ‘puter is an iPhone and homeless I’m far from so please tell me of there is any oother outlandish assumptions you’d like to throw my way…
Classy drunk… hehehe… seriously?! That’s the name you went with.. oh well but to address you… maybe you need to read it all over again as well, I said I wasn’t going to post on any of this crap but this one just hit a nerve …meaning I’ve seen a lot of this but one person who called him a NIGGER actually posted in here (not the nigger comment but a different post) his/her caption on the link is what pissed me off…and crazy? No but crap like this does bring out my bad side….
Bedheadjen…. like I’ve said… it seems like I’ve stepped on a few toes and brought out some of the true looneys who my comments were actually directed towards… I was talking to the people who found it okay to do more then state an opinion…. hell I’m not saying it anymore… wanna know why I posted? Scroll up… wanna know who I was directing it to? ….Scroll up… wanna make another outlandish assumption? Feel free but I’d rather you talk shit about me then a damn kid….
Have a good day people … feel free to continue to post….
Damn it to hell… 167 posts later and we still do not know what “delican” means. @fancyface Thank you for asking.
@ OES…I appreciate you giving us the permission to continue to post on a site that’s been up and running for years and years and more years before you got here.
You are definitely looney tunes and please don’t ever change. Feel free to continue posting on a site where it’s all about recaps and posting!
HaHaHa Closet! Maybe it’s a pelican that only eats lunchmeat?
OES-I have never seen anyone use that ugly word on this site, until YOU used it. After reading your posts, I don’t need to wildly assume anything. You’ve exposed your inner nutty nuttenheimer with each and every entry, and for that, I am grateful.
@classydrunk: I think OES is most delican.
(Since no one will tell us what it means, I decided to assign my own definition to it.)
Ooh! OES mentioned me!! I can die happy now.
I noticed, however, that she went down that same tired path, completely dismissing the fact that I said she is bat-shit crazy to beat on an equine so long deceased. And for absolutely no reason.
OES, pay attention this time. What I said was this: “If you do have children, heaven help them. You really do sound demented, if not insane. No rational person goes off like you do for any reason.” I did not accuse you of being Trevon’s mother or any other relative.
OED, Oops, I meant OES (The former is for dispensing information people want) I am serious in hoping that you do not have children. And I am not joking about your needing medical/psychiatric help.
Yes, die happy …. NOW
if you werent so focused on asking if I’m crazy or calling me crazy and actually took the time to read ALL of the post … (since u seem to care so much) … yes I have two boys and wouldn’t rather DIE then let them exude the behavior I saw on T&T … my son is very educated, he’s been reading since he was 1 and is now 5, plays baseball, soccer, attends the boys and girls club and love his martial arts class. Never had a behavioral problem out of him what so ever and I dont plan to, yes I may seem “crazy” to you because I showed that this pissed me off to see people bashing a 6year old kid but if u want to call me crazy for that then feel free…
Mental help is NOT what I need but its probably what you can benefit from. Because evidently your one who talked shit about a kid… do you feel pleased with yourself? Eh, I wouldn’t care if u did… my point is still directed towards those who didn’t talk only on his behavior but him as a person…. do me a favor go back and READ EVERYTHING before you post, please and thank you… seems like I was given that advise (but unlike you I had already read the ENTIRE thread/recap BEFORE I posted)
I guess we’ll see OES every week now that they are on a crusade to stop us from snarking about bratty behavior on a reality show that the bratty child’s parent signed up for. You keep on editing those youtube videos and keep fighting the good fight!
Viva la bratty nijos!!!
She must really love our site, since she has been visiting it frequently for over the last 12 hours or so. Notice she didn’t touch the racial comments from Crabby and myself.
OES, as a board member of our local Boys and Girls Club I am so happy you are taking advantage of a fantastic program. I would hope that Traven’s mother would also look into the program if it is available in her area. It is obvious that he would benefit from the opportunities the Boys and Girls Club offers.
Probably a good idea to realize that you will not change the opinions, etc of those visiting this site and just call this one a draw.
Got a bad feeling on this one. So theoretically your kids are young enough for Traven to be the father….shutter…OES please say it isn’t so. What does OES mean?
Yes I did address that issue Hun… like all the others please go back and READ… quit trying to come up with bs to spew out of your mouth an READ. I didn’t want it to be a racial issue..
I believe I mentioned that along with the comment about my brother so once again talk ONLY what you know
And as for the video editing, lol… has nothing to do with this bullshit, feel free to check it out… you may learn a thing or two….
Its amazing that you all still dont get it, but its ok your forgiven for being total jackasses and morons
…..
@whoochile… I love the program and so does my son. Its actually a great program in my area. Idk about travens area, but trust me more then 1/2 of the kids from that area would benefit from it…and yes I agree you can’t win, which I wasn’t trying to win just voice my opinion on one issue
@crockpot… as for your first comment, smh… but as for your question
It means Order of the Eastern Star
Hey, OES. I know you “don’t give a shit” about anybody who posts on this thread , but I am curious about your relationship to Traven. What is it exactly? You have let us know how stupid we are for guessing you are the mother or grandmother, so only you can erase our pathetic ignorance by just telling us. if you really have so little regard as to what we think of you, it wouldn’t hurt you a bit to just throw us a bone and let us know.
“What does OES mean?”
I don’t have it all figured out, but given how much she knows about why Traven is so wise in the ways of The Pony Club, I can only assume ‘S’ is for stripper.
@OES, no you did not
comment #153:
He already has two strikes against him (regarding society)
1: he’s black
2: he’s a male…
My statement was #167, in no way shape of form did you make a statement regarding you putting your son/s in the ‘victim’ role . They are Black…and? They are male…and?
I was thinking “OES” was Oregon Episcopal School, but based on her foul language I’m going thinking that’s not it….
Seriously…it’s probably order of the eastern star.
Old Ebony Stripper
Crankyguy… I’ve already answered what OES means… I swear no one reads around here or something, just waiting for the next opportunity to throw out another assumption or an ignorant remark…. OES… stands for Order of the Eastern Star …. so no the S isn’t for stripper… do a little research on it. You might be intrigued. And my relationship to traven is really of no concern, I could simply be an associate of the family but instead of ASKING first…a lot of u assumed I was a parent or grandparent… to be honest, his mom was told not to comment on any site with such negative remarks so again NO I’m not his mom or grandmom and his knowledge of “the pony” is not my doing, but several kids in that area know (sadly) and its not his fault …
Operation Eliminate Snark…
I said my boys have two strikes against them because there male and black to prove a damn point which flew over your head…
People expect then to be drug dealing baby daddies with no purpose or direction in life… and behavior that I dont condone like some of what traven did will bring about things like this… a bunch off ppl on a site talking shit so I make sure they don’t give ignorant people the satisfaction of proving a statistic to be right… (not for my two) ….
See my thing is ive addressed this whole thing countless times to the point where most of you still commenting need not ask questions, simply scroll back up and I’ve probably already answered what your going to ask….
And lol @ the old ebony stripper comment… that’s your opinion about what OES should mean or does mean and that’s fine… I’d rather you talk shit and post comments towards an adult then a kid ….
If that’s all people I’d like to finish replying to the other emails in my inbox and send off this data report..
Thanks a bunch for commenting and giving your assumptions and opinions about me, my life or situations and traven… hope you enjoyed feeling like you actually did something
…. again any more questions please read ALL of my post BEFORE posting your questions
OES, at the time I posted my stripper guess, your post explaining OES was not yet displayed, in spite of the earlier time stamp, so I had no opportunity to read it at the time. I have read EVERYTHING you have posted, and to tell you frankly, YOU are the one who displays a rather severe lack of reading comprehension.
His mom was told not to comment by whom, and even if she was told that, why should she, as you are fond of saying, “give a shit”? And, if you refuse to say what your relationship to Traven is after being asked, then it is unreasonable of you to scold people for guessing.
I’m still lost what does them being Black and male have to any strikes? This is 2012 don’t try blaming society on any thing that will befall your sons. I came from a family full of Black men, I was raised by a Black man(greatest father alive) that was born in the 40′s. None of the males in my family have any “black man” strikes. You never addressed this issue and don’t act like you have.
OES- Traven made it quite clear that he is a grown up, not a kid.
If you worked for him, he’d fire you for making bad choices.
Oh and OES, the name was a complete joke…To be clear I know there are stereotypes that are you there regarding EVER SINGLE RACE and ETHNICITY in the world. You are what you make yourself to be, my comment is long story short…I’m tired of Brown people always pulling the race card when 95% of the time it isn’t.
It’s some nonsense about people assuming that preteen males will be a “baby daddies” if they are Black. OES seems to be making the case that it is Traven’s race that caused people to make dire predictions about his future, at the same time claiming that she has not brought race into the discussion.
@OES Can you please do us a huge favor? Please ask Traven what “delican” means. K… thanks.
OES has alread dismissed the request to find out what “delican” means, just as she has dismissed my request to reveal her relationship to Traven. Sad horns.
OES has already dismissed the request to find out what “delican” means, just as she has dismissed my request to reveal her relationship to Traven. Sad horns.
Crap! Double post. I HATE that shit!
@crankyguy Is it wrong that I am waiting for you to say “Screw you guys; I’m going home.”
@(J)ustPeachy, I think it is, but I have been on the brink several times of telling somebody to “lick my dick hole.”
@Moli obvs you haven’t met my dad as he is the best dad ever
Also, when did being male become a strike AGAINST someone?
Lastly, “If that’s all people I’d like to finish replying to the other emails in my inbox and send off this data report..” No one is asking you to come back. It’s choice that you are making. Unless that dastardly Flipit has some control over you that I don’t know about.
Sparkle Baby 200!!!!
First of all Congrats on being raised by a black man and as for blaming society ummmm did I say I did? Nope I said I didn’t condone the behavior BECAUSE people expect black men to be losers, drug dealers, women beaters, and are expected to lie cheat steal and kill… but I’m glad you dont see what I’m talking about, yay for you… but being as tho I know there are people who do judge them because of it I’m able to speak on it…
Hell I’m judged for being black and was told this by an employer in the past his exact words were
I didn’t expect you to be of color when I spoke with you over the phone to offer you the position, I apologize for judging you”
Not to mention when He walked out of his office to ask me back, He walked up to the white lady beside me and said “Hello, Marie I’m glad you could make it” without ever calling my name to see who would respond … so yes even tho its 2012 people still judge… and I’ve had to witness my son being judged right to my face so when I was speaking about the “strikes” it was to follow up the comment about me never allowing rude disrespectful behavior from my boys and I agreed with the comment that the person had made …. THATS why I made the statement Hun…. nothing more, nothing less.
Can I just say “HAPPY BIRTHDAY AL B. SURE!!!!!!!!’
I really liked his music (when he was making music) and forums aren’t up yet.
Only 98 more comments until we hit 300 and I am gonna get that “sparkle baby”. Oh yes….it will be mine.
Maybe he meant “PELICAN”. I am PELICAN.
I’m finding a fascinating “chicken or the egg” situation developing here in the T&T threads:
Does the dynamic of the comment threads create the argumentative attitudes so often displayed here by pageant-connected posters (Pageant-grandma being a refreshing exception), or does the attitude predate the interaction with posters here? Who made who?
True story, on my birthday in 1987(hush) my best friend gave me a stuff dog. I named him Terrence Michael Benjamin(B…get it). I was sooooooo in love with Mr’ Eyebrows. Every couple of years my best friend and I get a kick out of it
.
@classy we can agree to disagree(whispering my dad is better) or we can go old school( my dad can beat your dad)…if you heard all the giggles and if you could see the people peeking in my office as I’m typing this.
Sorry don’t believe you@OES. The owner/Director actually admitted auditory racism…
@notwithoutmytv — I’ll bet the posters on this site are not the only people who have ever been on the receiving end of OES and other pageant mom’s fuck-you-fuck-you-fuck-you tirades.
Sorry OES, you said that he had two strikes against him. Being Male and being black. Again, when is being male a strike against someone. Now if you’d said he is already a black male living in a certain socioeconomic situation then your argument might have some validity as class is now becoming a “strike” again some and the rich get richer and we are seeing the middle class shrink.
If you watch enough Judge Judy you would see what I mean…as many people of all races are on her show and they are women beaters, drug dealer, addicts, etc.
Also Moli did say that racism still occurs but not in the way that some brown people try to use it as a crutch. Don’t teach your son’s that they have strikes against them, if you have this perception then they will too. Stop the cycle (the more you know?)
Now as for you @ Moli my dad was in the military so I know he can beat your dad up.
@Sheesh, I just youtube’d Nite and Day by Al B. Sure. I used to loveeeee this song.
And If you will go back oh Idk 30 comments ago you’ll see me bringing his race BACK up was because I was answering someone’s post. Other then that I never mentioned it except my initial comment so please dont take it there because i didn’t want that to be the focus at all……
And hell Idk what he meant but yep ill ask him …
Pageant – grandma was someone I agreed with 100% … I never said he was right in doing some of the things he did nor said but damn come on I clearly said he didn’t deserve to be bashed… not his actions but HIM. Calling him names was totally not needed…
And the reason I said two strikes is because men in general have more expected of them when it comes to needed to provide for and take care of several things and when he falls short (strike one, let the judging begin) and a BLACK person is sometimes looked at like were going to all do the crap u see on cops ( put em together and that’s strike two) … and yes it does happen… there was a KKK rally not to long ago in my local park so even tho is 2012 as it was mentioned, people are still ignorant ….
@Moli &@ClassyD, mind if I join you? I was raised by my dad, and I have always thought … Known… he was the best ever, anywhere. I was lucky to have him, and I’m glad you have keepers!!
Nice to hear positive comments among the swill.
I raised myself, but I’m pretty awesome. Does that count?
And a hells yeah for fantastic parents! It’s a nice to hear, especially in a thread that focuses on a show with some of the worst examples of “parenting”.
Well dayum….and here I was thinking there was a feminist movement because women had the “strike” against them. I guess with all the new housewives shows and “men” like Slade and Brooks I guess the tables have finally turned and the “strike” is against the men now. Burn your bras ladies! Mission Accomplished.
TvKim, of Course that counts. Does that make you a DMom or a Mdad?
And we need to feel good about good families. Although I must admit to the guilty pleasure of watching the crazies.
I figure we have room for a few more people with great fathers @SSC…
Thank you, Classy. Nice to be in such good company.
Damn @classy…when my Dad was drafted back during Vietnam…they not so kindly turned his jacked up knees away(you may have something there). Thank Goodness (let’s try this one) the bestest of all bestest big brothers was born in ’70 and I came along in late ’75(dammit I have finally said it). @snow you can join in…but I’m a tad wary…classy’s Dad might be able to beat you Dad in a brawl
. All jokes aside there is NOTHING like a Father/Daughter relationship and most if not all of us Daddy’s Girls thinks their Dad is the greatest man. To this day, my Dad’s hugs turn me into a 5 year old and if I could still get piggyback rides(his were aweeeeesome) I sure would
.
And OES, you live in your racist world and I’ll live in mine. I’m sorry you live in a terrible backward area of the country…deep super deep South(?). I have to ask, if where you live is so racist why do you live there? Why would you subject your children to the KKK at their local park? That makes no sense at all to me, I pity you and your family.
Wow. Order of the Eastern Star, huh? Not with that filthy mouth. My mother is a member and would be horrified to hear about your behavior and language!
What It Is: The Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both women and men may belong. Worldwide, there are over 500,000 members under the General Grand Chapter
Eastern Star is a social order comprised of persons with spiritual values, but it is not a religion. Its appeal rests in the true beauty of the refreshing and character-building lessons that are so sincerely portrayed in its ritualistic work. A deep fraternal bond exists between its members. It is the wholesome relationship of sisterly and brotherly love brought about through high principles exemplified in our lives which makes us near and dear to each other.
While this is an Order composed of people of deep spiritual convictions, it is open to all faiths, except no faith. The personal welfare of our members is vital to all of those in the Eastern Star, and it is considered a privilege to help another member whenever we can.
Purposes: The stated purposes of the organization are: Charitable, Educational, Fraternal and Scientific; but there is much more to it than that. Dr. Rob Morris, the Poet Laureate of Masonry, founded the Order using the beautiful and inspiring Biblical examples of heroic conduct and moral values. These portray the noble principles which should adorn the personal lives of Eastern Star members. Eastern Star strives to take good people and through uplifting and elevating associations of love and service, and through precept and example build an Order which is truly dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness.
@Snowshoe I ended up being D’Everthing. And there is no shame in enjoying watching the crazies. I do. It’s like going to the zoo, only the animals are on meth and pixie sticks and there is more sparkle then Sigfried and Roy!
I play the race card when:
Somebody tells me I can’t dance.
Somebody tells me I can’t jump when I play basketball.
I get picked on when I play my Tom Jones cassettes.
I was lucky. I was raised by two parents: Television and Consumerism. (Television was the disciplinarian, but I always knew that he didn’t love me any less. When there was a thunderstorm, though, Consumerism always let me sleep in her bed.)
Eastern Stars, Masons…aren’t they connected to the Illuminati conspiracies? *shudders*
*then giggles*
Cool Moli b/c I have a little brother and he sure is awesome! So you have big brother and I’ll take little brother.
@NWMTV, What a cassette?
@OES – Men have a strike against them because they have more expected of them for what they need to provide? You have got to FREAKIN’ be kidding me! How is that a strike against them? What about single mothers? Don’t they have a lot expected of them? The easiest job in the world is being a man in this country, the second easiest is being a woman. I have to agree with quite a few commenters here who said that yes, there is still racism at times – and sexism, etc. but this is America. I am one of those people who are going to wave the flag and say you can do anything in this country if you put your mind to it – the key is, you have to have a MIND. Maybe that is where you are falling short.
This site is set up to make fun of TV shows and many of them are reality shows, including T&T. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out – and don’t show up on reality TV if you can’t take the criticism. I think we all agree that Traven’s behaviors are out of order, that the fault lies with the adults who are not disciplining him and the truth is, these kinds of behaviors and the lack of education he’s probably getting (“Your 1″) leads us all to believe that what Traven has in front of him is pre-destined. Can he change that? Yes. Will he? Look at his environment and adult influencers. I’m going to say no. So continue to comment if you’d like, but realize you aren’t going to win on this site, you are only going to continue to hit your head against the wall. That’s about as delican as I can be!
Still commenting? Damn, looks like I unfollowed this post too soon… but feel free to chat, talk, assume & judge… … I’ve got a Lil one who isn’t feeling well so I’m off to see about him… & for the comment about not believing what I said regarding the person who hired me admitting to his prejudice ways… ummm it doesn’t matter if u do or not… but its one of the reasons he was let go of by the company oh and a sexual harassment charge … I didn’t really care to read anything between that comment and the one about eastern stars and Masons… and to that comment I simply reply “eh, believe what you want” just like I can’t make anyone’s opinion about traven or myself change, I can’t change what you think about the OES… but seriously people… have fun posting… just try not to be such jaskasses to a kid next time.. stating an opinion and calling him a NIGGER is two totally different things… and before you newcomers rant about NO ONE on here calling him that… no it wasn’t posted here but someone who posted in this thread shared this page and called him a nigger in the caption …. good day people…
“… and before you newcomers rant about NO ONE on here calling him that… no it wasn’t posted here but someone who posted in this thread shared this page and called him a nigger in the caption.”
WTF? Somebody linked to this minicap on another site and used the n-word on the other site? Is that what you are saying? What are you saying?
Damn, I really don’t want to read all these comments. I wish someone would recap the recap comments. With T&T minicaps its almost needed lately.
Now this is just getting boring. Before it was fun to egg on the Old Ebony Stripper, but apparently she just keeps vomiting the same incoherent drivel that demonstrates stupid is forever.
Get an education. Get your child an education. Stop blaming the world for your problems. Stop being a hypocrite. Stop Thinking that being a black male is a disadvantage. Stop lying. Get a life.
But most of all shut the fuck up, you are 100% psycho. I feel sorry for your kids….
We need crabby to recap the recap…..
@SaraKate – I’m glad someone jumped in on the Order of Eastern Star reference. I’m a Past Grand Worthy Advisor (kinda like a Nacho Burrito Supreme High Mucky Muck) of the IORG, one of the youth organizations. “OES”‘s behavior is appalling and definitely doesn’t represent the organization as a whole.
@OES – It’s “COULDN’T CARE LESS” – fyi. If you “could care less”, it means the exact opposite of what you intend it to mean, which makes your posts hilarious to read as you fan your ignorance all over Gasmii.
I love how OES said that “someone” who posted on this thread called Traven the N-word on another thread. Hmm..well if you caught someone red-handed why aren’t you naming names? I’m inclined not to believe you then, my dear, because why would you protect someone from such appalling behavior? Why not post the link, especially if it proves your point? Unless, you’re making it up… which I’m thinking you are. (Not about someone using the N-word, but that it was a fellow Gasmii who did it.)
I play the race card when:
Someone assumes I know how to dance.
My friend calls me after a Dave Chapelle episode to ask me what “Skeet, Skeet” means.
The only seat available on a crowded bus in at the back.
I’ll recap the comments: ‘Gasmii said some stuff, and then OES came on and posted thirty-plus separate comments blasting them for saying not-racist things because she does not give a fuck about stuff and is not related to some random kid that was on a TV show. Then everybody died. The end.
love, J-Mo
Wow! You da master of the recap, J-Mo. All that was missing was the kitty porn.
Need kitty porn!
(see name)
@OES please stop using the n-word. I find it offensive and the fact that YOU keep using in reference to Traven is disgusting. Either post the link to this “other site” or I will assume that you are a racist who is just here to throw that word around.
Thank you Jazzy, she’s the only one who point blank said it…several times.
LMAO Jmo, thanks. I wonder if OES is related to Squidy and her trashbox mother.
OES– please change your name. You posting and then claiming to be Order of the Eastern Star is insulting to members of OES.
Sincerely, Veruca– former OES page.
Great, now OES has Gwyneth using the N-word!
http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/hip-hop-media-training/jay-z-kanye-blame-gwyneth-paltrow-inappropriate-n-235602587.html
This is why I prefer her head IN A BOX.
LOL @ DearCrabby. Yes, I prefer her had in a box, too. Gwyn’s use of the N-word was totally inappropriate. Title of the song or not, she was referring to Jay-Z and Beyonce as such in the photo she tweeted of them. Jay-Z might not care because that’s his song, but I’m sure Beyonce is giving Gwen major side-eye right now.
You know that fantasy bar night with Betty, tonya, mr. Todd, anette and Maxine? Maybe this one can get together (at the pony, perhaps?) with squid’s mom and candass? When she first came on saying that word had been used, I could totally see how that would be enraging and might cause her to overreact. But near as I can tell, it was never used, and certainly not here, so I am still trying to figure out why she is yelling at us.
238 posts later and we still do not know what delican means. That’s it. I am getting pregnant, having a boy and putting him in pageants. His name will be D’eLican.
