This is a reality show, so as they all are, this is entertaining. But I really hate seeing parents forcing their kids to do things they hate, kids being horrible to their parents and sassy and acting older than they are, and parents raising their kids with the message that being sexy and getting money is all that matters in life. I hate seeing the babies and toddlers putting in FAKE teeth, getting spray tanned, and all that stupid stuff. All the parents care about is the money and the way they get it is by exploiting their children. Kids might get bad ideas from the awful kids on this show. The parents often let rude remarks and sass go without any punishment. The kid can get whatever they want as long is their beauty keeps giving parents money. Whenever I watch this, I just think "Thank God I don't have horrible parents like these." Some of these parents just make me sick (and that's coming from a normal 14 year old girl). I once saw a mom swear at their baby, force coca-cola down an infant's throat to keep her awake, and force a kid who was scared into getting their eyebrows waxed. Parents, PLEASE never do this to your children.

I give it 2 stars because if your my age it's fun to watch just for a laugh. However, the idea of this show is terrible. Beauty pageants only do two things for a young girl: they tell her that being beautiful is the only way to feel good about yourself, and if you lose, you aren't beautiful. But I think the show does showcase the craziness, and, sometimes cruelty of the mothers who put their children through this. One quote in an episode I saw was from a mother, saying: "I started putting her in pageants when she was nine months old. She didn't know what was going on, but I liked it, so..." That was an exact quote! So that just shows how revealing yet funny this show can be.

Like most reality television, it is entertaining. However, this show really does make me sick. Seeing these parents pushing their children into doing things they don't want to do, all because they are trying to live their own dreams through their child. I don't see any positive messages in this show. The parents are pushy and drive their children to win; while the children are bratty and act like complete diva's; the parents are to blame for this. It really does pain me to think about what these young girls are going to be like when they're older... The clothing is at most times inappropriate and the movements of these young girls' routines have sexual undertones. It disgusts me to think of the amount of pedophiles out there that would be watching these young girls wearing and acting inappropriately. So this is an entertaining show, however when you think about it, the whole idea of it is truely sad.

There was a mother on the show who was accused and guilty of choking a baby and feeding babies hot sauce. The parents are sometimes cruel.

Good show, but they are FORCED to wear Makeup. And I think getting a 'Mani-Petti' too! Like this clip from YouTube that the mother was making her daughter getting her EYEBROWS waxed! And she said the 'reward' was a bag full of candy! Well this may effect little girls saying things like. 'I want to look like that!'

Terrible isn't a strong enough word to describe this show.

I hate the parents and feel bad for the poor kids that have to tolerate the artificial message everyone wants them to express. They're children only once;let them enjoy it while it lasts in a way that they want it to last in. I only watch this show because it interests me to see how kids are handling things, more mature or less mature than me.

we have 10 children and a grandson. we have and still do pageants when spare money allows, they are expensive and yes there is alot of work that goes into making sure everything is just right but you sports/hunting folks do the same you are sure to have the tickets, the beer or meeting at bars and clothing and then there is the cost of weapon of choice which changes yearly along with the ammo and after all that you want to stuff it and stick it on a wall.Point is everyone has a hobby and if we dont like someones hobby we dont have to be a part of it, you dont like the tv show about pageants and kids dont watch it, i dont like the show Cops or Hunting channel so i dont watch it problem solved. I think that America has got alot of folks with nothing better to do than complain on their hands since we started losing jobs and homes here. Let people just be themselves and mind your own business,be wise when complaining and dont tell everything you know said a wise 86 yr old christian woman who raised 13 children on her own shortly before she passed. ~~

I hate how much I love this show. I wish I could turn it off, but it's rare when I do! Most of these parents are living through their children, but I think if the little girl genuinely wants to do it, then let her. She'll grow up and she'll be shown by others how being conceited is not respected. If you want to raise your kid to be a brat, I can't stop you. I think there's a metaphorical "age limit" for pageants. I don't think little kids should be in fake hair, fake teeth, tans, fake, fake, fake. Once they hit the age where they qualify for Miss Teen (insert state here), then I think it's appropriate. My cousin when was in one when she was about 16 or 17, and I honestly couldn't tell the difference from her stage makeup and her regular makeup. Her hair was done up really fancy, but that's all that was different. She wore conservative clothes throughout. Natural beauty IS respected. I think if these little girls were just in plain little sundresses with a bow in her hair, nothing fake, no makeup, then it would be a lot less despicable. I still don't think itty-bitty girls should be in it though.
