…and just when she was getting really interesting!
Seriously! You can’t leave us now, Rocky! Not before you tell us what you were going to do with the hanger!
As usual, we begin immediately where we left off last time.
It’s after elimination and Gigi isn’t pleased with Alai’s output. “Look, Alai, it’s not good enough to just make it. I want to win the competition,” scolds Gigi. Maybe Gigi should start practicing her krumping if she wants to win that badly? Liquefy those bones, girl!
Helene talks to Cheyenne about her favorite subject: being the least favorite team in the house.
“They were complete and utter b’s up there,” she tells her daughter. I wish that they were actual bees. I want to see a hive being pushed to its limit in the cutthroat world of insect showbiz. Alternately, this reminds me how awesome it would be if more people wore bonnets on this show. Anyhoo, the others may be been b’s, but it’s Helene who has the sting:
“F*** with me, then…it’s on. It’s on!” She is about as menacing as Snap, which is to say: peace. Stay off her back. Or Helene will attack. And you don’t want that (even though I’m sure everyone watching at home does, in fact, want that very, very much).
Danny corrals the teams for their first challenge of the episode. It will involve head shots. Danny tells us that in Hollywood, your head shot is your calling card. And then we see his:
This is one of those, “For a good time” calling cards, right?
The parents will take pictures with a digital camera in hopes of capturing a shot that will sell their kid. They have two hours to do this with only three cameras between them. The camera shortage does not provide nearly the drama that you’d expect, although Helene does get under Lisia’s skin with her incessant badgering. I suppose Helene assumes that people’s opinion of her can’t get much lower, so she might as well exploit the hatred. Smart!
Rocky tells Hayley Lourdes to put on more comfortable jeans and Hayley responds, “I don’t care if I’m uncomfortable! I just want to be rich and famous!” To which, Rocky, of course, laughs.
Hayley is sooooo Facebook generation, and she doesn’t even know it yet. To wit, she intensifies her frustration: “I don’t care if I die, I just want to be rich and famous!” Ironically or perhaps, not at all, death is a sure source of wealth and fame. The kid’s onto something!
Meanwhile, Sandy preps Gian by dressing him in a wife-beater and comparing him to James Dean. You know, “that bad-boy look.”
Pretty boy, bad boy — we’re learning more and more about what Gian looks like every week. Thanks, Sandy, for giving our eyes a rest.
Shannon tells McKenzie that she’s going to have to tone things down, per Danny and Marki’s advice. In response, McKenzie suggests that Shannon take her head shot like this:
I love that this is toning it down for McKenzie! Her sense of camp would put Liza Minnelli to shame. McKenzie is going to make one awesome old lady one day. Never let go of that fire, ‘Kenz!
Oh, also this is cute:
How many times do you think they’ve gone over that?
Finally, Gigi advises Alai during the shoot by wordlessly cackling.
And she wonders why Alai is having a rough time? Buy a vowel, Alai!
When the shoot is over, Marki judges each picture with her typical pummeling honesty. The following assessments are paraphrases of her opinion, not mine (mine are in parentheses because I know my place):
This is too safe.
This doesn’t do Mary Jo’s beauty justice.
Green’s good on a redhead, but Hayley Red is the perpetual best friend. (Well, excuhuuuze her for being friendly!)
This is not campy, which is a good thing. (…says Marki. I like McKenzie just fine in her natural, sassy state, thank you very much.)
“It’s too ‘Rico Suave.’ Is he a gigolo?” Marki asserts and wonders. Does he eat ‘em raw like sushi? How’s his Spanglish, anyway? I don’t know, Marki’s interpretation kinda makes this shot amazing.
This tells a story. (Although I doubt it’s nearly as interesting as that of Gerardo reincarnated as an Italian 12-year-old dancer.)
This is pitch-perfect, and makes Hayley Lourdes look “tough as nails.” No mere Lee Press-On is she.
After Marki evaluates the shots, the kids are brought in. Gian wonders how they did.
Sandy’s honesty is paradoxically encouraging. Maybe not to Gian, but to all of us who believe that honesty is dead.
Anyway, it should surprise no one that Rocky wins this one and her response is predictably erratic.
Their prize is not immunity, unfortunately enough, but extra time spent with the choreographer of today’s second challenge: an audition for a sneaker commercial. Rehearsals commence…
…and bickering between Gian and his mom continues:
There is something refreshing about their openness…
…but there’s also something extremely Grey Gardens about it.
Gigi thinks that Alai has an advantage, for she’s advising her daughter with so much experience under her belt:
“I’ve done everything from Broadway to TV to traveling to teaching the princess of Brunei dance.” Coming this fall from VH1: I Know My Princess of Brunei is a Star. CAN’T. WAIT.
Auditions begin. Cheyenne is, duh, awesome.
You think that she’s holding herself up, but she’s actually holding the floor down. Yeah, she’s that amazing.
Mary Jo forgets the routine.
McKenzie is good, and assisted by her mom, who, all of a sudden looks straight out of Living Dolls.
You can take the mom out of the pageants, but do NOT tell her how to raise her child.
Alai does the worm:
But apparently, this is not enough to impress the judges. Uh, really? If she spun herself into a cocoon, then would they be impressed? How about complete butterfly metamorphosis? Huh? Huh?
Despite Alai’s obvious effort, Gigi comes down on her:
Gee, I can’t imagine why she’d be acting like she’s scared.
Hayley Lourdes gets lost:
But on the plus side, she can do a mean robot!
Hayley Red looks angry.
Gian kicks ass…
…and, perhaps, kicks his own, with this landing:
We can’t see his face, so Danny recreates it for us:
Anyway, for his effort, sneaker-selling ability and possible sterility, Gian wins! Go Gian, holding it down for the dudes!
At home, Rocky mourns Hayley’s ultimate loss:
She complains about the prize Hayley won for the head-shot challenge: “It gave me 20 more minutes with Mr. Step Class, which, by the way, I wasn’t impressed.” Aw, for real? But she seems so generally laid-back and easy to impress!
Rocky then explains that Hayley isn’t so much a dancer, as opposed to, you know, her. “I can friggin’ dance!” says Rocky.
And then, in what could be preparation for later, she incoherently rants, “Me. A-meeeee!”
This woman is a treasure chest of pathos.
She mocks Alai…
…and she, Helene, Hayley Lourdes and maybe Cheyenne, discuss Gigi, when, who should come knocking but…
…Gigi! Well, speak of the devil…devilishly! Gigi wonders if Pam is anywhere and she, like, checks the closet for her. Uh, O…K. As soon as she’s two steps away, Hayley Lourdes mocks her: “Guess who I am: ‘Paaaam!’” Ah, they grow up so fast, don’t they?
And then, for no apparent reason at all, we get this:
She’s wearing a T-shirt that her flailing reveals to read…
…”My Boyfriend Is Out of Town,” which: AWESOME.
Anyway, she rants and cries and screams and hits things and it’s the sort of thing that recapping can’t really do justice. Not that I won’t try! (Alternately, you really should watch the extended cut of this meltdown.)
She moves!
She bangs!
She says, “I wanna friggin’ plug in my P.A. system for these whores…and their brats!”
She is a woman, phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s Rocky.
Helene and Rocky again discuss their untouchable social status in the house, which is such a point of pride for both of them, they may has well given birth to it. And then they’d be all, “Dance, lowered status! Dance! You’re a star!” Anyway, while talking about their perhaps unlikely alliance, Helene says the inevitable…
“I’m not here to make friends.” Ah, thanks, Helene. That felt good.
Rocky and Gigi spar over some food that’s in a common area and the whole thing is best summed up by Rocky’s yapping. She does it to imitate Gigi, but it’s not at all shocking how good she is at it.
At the parents-only meeting, Shannon gets kudos for prompting McKenzie to smile. The woman knows what she’s doing! Lisia, who kind of talked back to Marki after the sneaker challenge, talks back again to little effect. Then elimination comes and I’m just going to make this short because it’s too upsetting. It comes down to Rocky/Hayley Lourdes and Pam/Mary Jo. Although Rocky rocked the photo challenge, and Hayley’s a big ball of it, she’s not performing as well as she should. So they get sent home. Much to Rocky’s credit, she’s really, really sweet to Hayley and completely positive to her daughter, calling her a “star” on her way out.
In the car, Rocky continues this thread of gentleness and notes that this is a big mistake. She’s way more put together than anyone could have predicted.
Meanwhile, Cheyenne mourns.
I know the feeling.

Hi there,
For those of you who asked http://www.myspace/mbrasselle is mine and http://www.myspace/hayleydemarco is Hayley’s. We would love to add you. Hayley’s is set to private so only under 18 can view her profile because it’s set to private.
All the best,
Rocky
CLICK ON THIS U WILL SEE ROCKYS PROFILE MySpace URL:
http://www.myspace.com/mbrasselle IF NOT CLICK ON THE ONE BELOW WOW DO THESE SHO LIE OR WHAT ..
Since you brought it up, if you are Rocky: I thought you were a tranny the first time I saw the show. Still do. Little body fat, a man’s biceps, the implants, the small waist, hips, and thighs, the thin face with heavy makeup, and the fake hair are all rather compelling for that argument. If you’re not a tranny, you should play one on TV. Since you made inappropriate remarks on the show that are a bit too obvious, you set yourself up for it: tampax string? When Haley was in your belly? I don’t think so.
As for Haley, she’s unfocused and will never get out from under your over-the-top play for attention. She can’t compete and she knows it. What I saw in a very sweet child was buried frustration. You meant to be the star and you certainly got your shot. I agree safety issues forced your removal, and too bad for Haley. Personally, I worry for her. You went so far as to refuse to even brush her hair. You undermined her every challenge. Other parents gently pointed it out to you. The judges even pointed it out to you. But you continued chewing the scenery none the less. You’re too savvy for that to have been a mistake.
This show was all about you, and that’s what you meant for it to be. That’s my opinion and since you’re a public figure, I’m entitled to it.
I really hope this show had a staff psychologist or psychiatrist behind the scenes. Clearly any kid, anywhere, would need some counseling in how to deal with the pressure and intensity of the situation, as well as with dealing with the parents, who are also responding to that intensity. The parents, of course, could use the help as well. It’s all about constructive coping skills in a high pressure, emotionally charged situation.
In USA Today, it said that this show was originally conceived of as a documentary and that the current format was arrived at during casting when producers got the feel of the parents – they were looking for parents who would ‘do anything’ for their kids to be a star.
When you really, really consider it, being rich (or financially secure) is obviously something people want, but what is it about being famous that is so important to people? What’s so good about being famous? The perception that you are accepted? That people love you? Unfortunately, that’s not the reality. Being concerned about how thousands of people you’ve never met see you is a losing game – there is always someone who won’t like you for some reason, whether a good one or a stupid one. It’s like a high-stakes version of high school. Life is hard enough without feeling that you have to please thousands of people you don’t even know and, worse, putting so much stock in their judging you. For all but the most secure people, it must be extremely painful. My feeling is that acting, singing, dancing, modeling and politics often attract people who have a deep need to be appreciated and have, on some level, a ‘people pleaser’ personality. In the case of kids, if their parents have a need for a second chance or for fame of their own, that can overwhelm the child, and kids feel good when they make all but the worst of parents happy.
People are made throughout life to feel like they have to be ‘good enough’ in the eyes of other people (note how often – and how quickly – the kids on this show say things like ‘I was bad,” or “I sucked” right after trying something. If their dance or song or acting doesn’t get parental approval, then it seems that, inorder to get it, they take the parent’s side. In other words, if they feel the parent is going to deride them, they do it first so that they can still be aligned with the parent and feel better about themselves because they are siding with the parent and deriding themselves. Kids learn this early, especially kids with critical or hypercritical parents. It’s an adaptation, and a self-protective device that later becomes maladaptive.
Something basic for any parent is to approach a child with respect and compassion and clear boundaries – in other words, it’s not about you, the parent. If your child does something and looks to you for approval and then says something like “I sucked,” it’s vital to stop the child and remind him or her that from an objective standpoint, not doing something well DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CHILD AS A PERSON, if anything, it should just mean that the child just didn’t do that one act, that one time, very well. It’s not a big deal and shouldn’t be treated as one. Ask the child how he or she feels and really LISTEN to the answer. Respond to what you hear in a supportive manner. Remember – it’s not about you. Kids feel a deep responsibility for their parents’ happiness even though that responsibility rests SOLELY with the parents.
The next time a child tries something and starts verbally beating himself up, stop him and reframe it – he didn’t do so well in that one thing. Maybe he needs practice, more practice or maybe that just isn’t his thing. Don’t let a child deride himself or herself without stopping that child and making sure it is understood that not being good at one isolated thing does not mean that the child is bad. Kids don’t always get that on their own and need to be shown the reality of it. Do this and make them stronger, more content teens and adults.
That expectation creates a lot of pain and can destroy any sense of peace, calm and contentment because the person always feels like ‘less’ than the people around them. It’s often a very strong feeling, but one not based in reality. This kind of thought process can easily stay with a person into adulthood and haunt them.
PS: Listen to your children and really hear their concerns. Validate them. Don’t manipulate them and remember, psychological studies show that children and people of all ages learn better and do better using positive reinforcement – and only positive reinforcement. Try it for a few days. If you’re unhappy, don’t deride your child – it only creates pain and resentment for you. Instead, say something neutral like ‘try that again’. Don’t berate a child (if you’re an adult, it’s not a fair fight, so why even do it? What do you have to gain? A superior feeling? I really hope not, because it would be ridiculous.) If they do something well, let them know it – don’t withhold well deserved praise. Look at a book like “Compassionate Child Rearing”. Do it for the child you love, and for your relationship.
I Know My Kid’s a Star….WTF???? this is an awful show!!!!!! I realize that children need to learn to deal with rejection at some point but to build it up like this only to be let down that hard on national television is absurd!!!! The look on these kids faces is heartbreaking. What in the world has TV come to??? Is there anything people won’t put on TV just to make money???
hi Rocky – just want to say you & your daughter rocks! I’m looking forward to seeing Hayley in the movies, TV etc…i agree ..she is a star and I’m so sad to see her off the show so soon ….
take care, a Hayley/Rocky fan
PS…I HATE GIGI…SHE IS THE WORST MOM EVER!!!!
I love Hayley and Rocky. I think they are on a different level than the rest of the cast. I hope to see more of the both of them in the future.
XO-Sonique
I think that you guys are making good choices on who is winning
MY ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE SHOW IS DO THE KIDS REALLY WANT THIS OR ARE THEY JUST DO THE SHOW FOR THE SAKE OF THERE MOTHERS I WONDER
Hi!
I just wanted to tell you how long it took me to define myself in this business. Unfortunately, all of us mother’s get labled as nutty or crazy because most of the mother’s in this business are disgruntled performers and QUITE psycho. You, like me, are in this for your child. It is CLEAR as ice to me. I see it, and I see the kind of person that you are. You are very energetic, like myself, however; we are not willing to go postal for this business. As badly as we want it, there is a line to be drawn. Too bad for the other crazys on this show and in this business. Screw those old hags, you are so gorgeous, you made them uncomfortable, and your child, Hayely, made them nervous and envious. Hayley is unaffected, the rest of those kids are TRYING to be performers. The great ones, well, they just have “it.” Haylet is IT, believe that..Danny B, does not know everything, and HE should not be judging anyone based on his past. He clearly has psycholigical issues that came about long before anything that happened in his adulthood.
Take care and don’t be down, this is only the beginning… TRUST ME IN THIS. There is SO much more to come for you and Hayley. Its a fact.
Debbie
This is the most pathetic show I’ve ever seen!!
I hope that VH1 can find something new and NOT have a second season of this show. The cast of the show really isn’t very interesting. If Rocky’s awful behavior is the best thing the show had to offer then we are in a world of hurt. Good for her getting her 15 minutes, but can’t we just be done with all of the name calling and finger pointing. It’s boring. I just hope that VH1 can find a CREATIVE mind out there that will have an idea for a show that is different and interesting… and then they get a cast that has real appeal – not just shock value. They are insulting our intelligence.
Good luck to you Rocky and to Hayley too. Go on just “being yourselves”… but then we all know you will. So bam.
Mckenzie could be the next Margaret O’brien. : )
Mary Jo is like the next Sue Lyon.
I wish the recap had mentioned the hilarious remarks Gigi made about Alai coming into her womanhood (very “Raisin in the Sun”) and getting a weave.
I know that most of this reality stuff is just TV, but there are little kids involved here. I LOVED Hayley. That kid will be a star someday, Mom’s just gotta calm down a little! Let her be the star that she can be. I totally look forward to seeing this kid on TV in the future.
Good luck, Rocky and Hayley!
P.S. I can’t stand GiGi, either and I could not believe that Cheyenne didn’t win that dance contest!
That kid is super talented!
Well, IKMKAS you folks are unbelievable! Boy, you REALLY THINK America is stupid and we don’t know a setup when we see it! Instead of calling this the “I Know My Kid’s A Star” show – just start calling it “Pick Anybody But Cheyenne Show.” After all, she IS the one to beat! Boy, Danny’s face looked like someone had knocked him over with a boulder when the girl with it ALL started to dance! He just couldn’t hide that “OMG, she can dance, too!†look. (You need to coach him more; you haven’t quite knocked all the sincerity out of him. Remind him again that you are paying him so if he wants to keep his job he better not forget it’s not really his decision anyway!) (Danny, you should know by now nice guys finish last, remember?) Joey Paul Jensen all but laughed her head off at the so-called winner and clearly held back for the REAL winner, Cheyenne! As for Marki she was just polite to Cheyenne – gee thanks. What happened, Maki, no glib remarks, no sarcasm, hmmm, I wonder why? My question is how DO you people sleep at night! What a disgrace to not pick this little girl when you know she was the best! Please tell us how you do it – what, you don’t have any mirrors in your house? Don’t you realize that you are messing with someone’s dreams? Why of course you do, but so what, right? Boy, I thought Danny would have learned something after all those years in rehab, on the street, etc. Is it really so important to be on top that you are willing to remove the most important ingredient in success, Integrity? As a Black person @~_ ociated with show business folks, I know the challenges they meet. However, I thought it would be different since these are children – WRONG! After all let’s stomp on talent at an early age; after all we have to keep ‘em in their place, right? The nerve of her mother showing and having confidence in Cheyenne’s extraordinary talent. Doesn’t she realize she has a Black child and that privilege is reserved for white folks only! And of course, Helene is even more disliked because she had the nerve to even HAVE a Black child!
Anyone watching, who is honest, knows Cheyenne has shown the best talent in every category. But because she can’t be beat, you people decide you are not looking for talent, how utterly convenient for whomever you decide (ahead of time) wins. Well, what in the name of Hollywood are you looking for? Oh, I’m sorry, that a dumb question. You know and we all know you are looking for another pure white winner (preferably blond of course) in which case TRUE talent is not a necessary factor. After all this is the first show, NO WAY you are going to let the Black girl win. Well, let me tell you as a Black mother, I see in Cheyenne the strength and power to succeed in spite of people like you. Based on what I personally know, I am sure Helene has had to prepared Cheyenne to expect to lose this competition because of unfair treatment. We teach our children not to hate, but to love; yet, we must protect them and tell them the bitter truth that people will try to hold them back because of their beautiful color. So as any good “Black†mother (which Helene clearly is) she had to prepare her child to be disappointed, disrespected and mistreated. I give honor and high praises to Helene for a job well done raising the perfect “Next Child SuperStar,†Ms. Cheyenne Haynes. This sweet, beautiful and exceptional young lady will never be held back by your unfair and shameful tactics because God has surely created her to be blessed and highly favored!
So now that Rocky and Haley are off the show I don’t even bother watching. They MADE the show!! It’s so boring now. Rocky’s personality is so $^`+ ing entertaining and Haley is just GORGEOUS and sweet. Their style was amazing and they ALWAYS looked great. Not to mention she’s a MILF!! They need to have their own reality TV show. Best of luck to Rocky and Haley.
OK, I’m sorry but Rocky is af&&^* nut case. Either she is on a controlled substance or she needs to be on a prescribed med. She probably is good at what she does, but come on, what is she teaching her kid? She once made a comment that one of the contestance kids will be on Vidodin driving the wrong way down the street, or something like that, well I think that’s the pot calling the kettle black! And I’m talking about Rocky, not her daughter… Do these woman really need to be so caddy? I have a daughter in high school she was a cheer leader, in gymnastics, did some modeling and other things and I was appalled at how some of the mothers were but they were angels compared to some of these women. And some of them make fun of and say awful things right in front of their kids, shame on you all. And the producers for obviously promoting this for ratings, some of would like to watch a show like this for the pleasure of watching kids makings their dreams come true. And mom’s please, it’s ok to try and gently push your child, I realize sometimes you need to do this, especially when so much is at stake and this is their dream, but for gosh sakes, Gigi, can you give a hug and say “I love you” you are a great kid? Helene, take some advise, don’t worry about the other mothers and who likes you, it’s not really about you now is it? Focus on your talented daughter, stop putting the other kids down in front of your own child and try and get off of that ” I’m holier that thou pedestal” and try and get along with other, maybe you’ll teach your kid that… Thank god Rocky is gone, she was a cancer to the group, things may get more focused on the kids now and not the moms. Gigi, you should have whopped her butt, she so deserved it!! Well you can take the stripper out of the club but you can’t take the stripper out of the girl, sure you can dance Rocky, you do it every night… I need to stop typing, now I’m getting really caddy myself
I saw Cheyenne’s commerical and it clarified what I said early on in the show. She is a great backup. She is extremely talented, but she just does not have the it factor they keep talking about. She does not stand out in a crowd.
I think that was a good call on Bonaduce’s part & I was ecstatic to see Rocky get the boot. For one thing, it was obvious from the beginning that Rocky is really all about herself. She stole so much camera time from her daughter that it is pathetic. It was becoming the “Rocky” show & if you want to add “Horror” to that then be my guest because her acting skills are that bad. Anyway, the only bad thing about her leaving is that the other mothers are sooooooo boring. Rocky did add some element to the show which really means nothing at this point. Anyway, Kudos to the B-man for getting rid of the disease before it spread. Kick Rocks Rocky… hopefully there will be no more shows for you!
Soooo glad to see that complete wack-job OFF the show. Have to say I was a bit surprised though, I thought for sure that Bondacci would keep her a little longer, just on the off chance he might have had an opportunity to hook up with her.
That beeotch is a total nutter. I feel bad for her kid, she’ll grow up to be one messed up individual being parented by that, dare I say it… woman. Ick. I shudder at the thought – I’d check that one under the hood…eek
I sincerely hope that she doesn’t end up with her own ‘spin-off” show – paleeze..IF that happens, please turn your TV OFF, and walk away immediately!
Ratings of this nature will just continue to fuel the networks fires of REALLY BAD TELEVISION – look at the majority of crap we watch now; How many more Flavor of Loves, Shot at Loves, Rock of Loves, My Kids a Star, Celebrity Fit Clubs, can we have???? STOP THE INSANTY PEOPLE, STOP IT NOW!
Gigi, I was so shocked to see you not greet Alai with a hug when she struggled in the dance challenge. I was even more shocked when you fussed at her and told her she “looked %$@#ing scared up there.” What kind of a person and mother talks to their young child like that? At least Rocky was proud of her daughter even when Hayley struggled. When Alai gets eliminated, will we see you hug and carry your daughter away telling her she is a star? Or will there be more finger pointing and degradation? When Alai is grown and refuses to talk to you, remember how you cussed at her and put her down when she was a kid on national television. Get over yourself lady–you have a beautiful daughter dying for your approval.
I Can’t believe that Rocky and her daughter was eliminated that little girl is so down to earth and calm and so cute nothing like her mother I can see her as a famous actor and I would watch whatever she plays in I wish she was still on I don’t even want to watch the show because everyone is so boring to watch I CAN NOT BELIEVE ROCKY IS GONE I REALY LIKE HER THAT WAS JUST HER PERSONALITY AND YOU CAN SEE THAT SHE TRULY LOVES HER DAUGHTER I CAN’T SAY THAT FOR SOME OF THEM AND QUICKY YOU NEED TO SHUT YOUR $+#% ING $*) UP YOUR PROB A FAT $*) AND JEALOUS OF HER AND ROCKYS DAUGHTER AS YOU CAN SEE IS GOING TO TURN OUT JUST FINE I BET RATINGS GO DOWN BECAUSE HALEY IS OFF THE SHOW SO $+#% ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T LIKE ROCKY SHE WASN ‘T MEAN TO ANYONE EXCEPT THE $+#% ED UP PARENTS AND HAD ALOT MORE SENSE THEN MOST OF THEM
I cannot believe that Hallie and Rocky are off the show…Hallie is such a cute and genuine young girl…she was herself throughout the entire show and it is completely wrong to say that its seems like Rocky was in it for herself….She is a crazzzzzyyyy mom…but I loved her….she made the show what it was and I thought it was completely obvious that she was there for her daughter…not for herself…she was there for her daughter, just because she didnt always help her daughter all the time….you can tell that she does love her and want the best for her….Hallie should have won the show…If I were an agent, a director, anything, I would recruit HALLIE 100%…..sooo anyway I am still a ROCKY/HALLIE fan but now I guess I’ll be a cheyenne fan cuz she has the most overall talent.
FRAN ARE YOU %%(#(( ED YES CHAYENNE WAS THE BEST DANCER BUT SHE DID NOT SELL THE SHOE AS WELL AS THAT BOY DID AND YOU WITH THE RACE THING IS CRAZY I AM HISPANIC AND HAVE ALL MIXES IN MY FAMILY AND YOU NEED TO WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN CUZ THAT BOY SOLD THOSE TENNIS SHOES
I also believe that if anything….Rocky is the one mother that is truly there for her daughter….Gigi and the blond just want it for themselves…They’re the ones always saying mean stuff and always putting their daughters down….sooo what if Rocky took a lot of camera time…she obvi did it for her daughter soooo thats an example right there….if I were on the show I would want my mom to be as @&! ertive as her!!!

I’d like to joint Rocky. I’m sure she’s no stranger to the schwanz and could probably jerk a knot in mine.
Everyone knows that much, if not all, of what happens on “reality” TV is scripted or planned. Am I alone in thinking that Rocky/Hayley’s departure was planned? Planned in the sense that maybe, just by appearing in the episodes she did, someone connected with the production made a phone call or two during filming to an agent, casting director, whatever…and Rocky was contacted behind the scenes by someone saying, “Why don’t you bring your daughter in? I’ve heard she’s talented, has a great look” etc. I don’t know if these reality moms had to sign anything saying that they couldn’t quit the show early, that they were required to stay until eliminated. If they’re not required to stay until eliminated, and Rocky became aware of a good opportunity for Hayley early on during filming, why would she stick around and finish out the show? I say this because Rocky just seemed way too calm and subdued when getting the news (I believe, though, Hayley’s tears were genuine), and also because Rocky with her antics would be the LAST person the show’s producers would want to get eliminated early on. Too many viewers would tune in just to see the latest from Rocky, so she’d be kept around longer for that reason alone. I think there’s a chance that Rocky approached the show’s producers and asked to be let go early to pursue other opportunities for her daughter. And even if that’s not true and letting Rocky/Hayley go wasn’t planned, I guarantee Hayley’s already getting work and auditions just from the airing of the first few episodes. She has a great look and maybe even the acting ability too–if any casting director or agent has tuned in to the show, Hayley has probably already gotten work just from the TV exposure, and didn’t need to win this show’s “competition” to do that. Just my two cents.
Hayley was the best photo! Others were not. So she didn’t do part 2 quite as well – neither did the majority of the others. It was a mistake to eliminate Haley & Rocky! Haley you have what it takes. Rocky you are a great Mom & I loved your personality! I doubt I’ll watch the show without you. Goodluck!
I ONLY WATCHED THE SHOW BECAUSE OF HAILEY. SHE IS THE CUTEST KID. AND HER MOM WAS A NUT. BUT AREN’T WE ALL
i love the show of ”i know my kid’s a star” because all
of you are stars and remember to keep up the good work
and this will follow thru the rest of your life!!!!!!
*#~$ those @#&#^ ez
LOL!!!! I cannot believe these idiot remarks that I am reading from some of these people. “Rocky you’re a good Mom.†Are you people for real? That woman was a nut job. A good Mother does not embarrass herself on national television and drag her child along for the ride. A good Mother praises her child for the work that they do or encourages them to do better, not steal EVERY limelight second from the kid. Hailey looked stress, sad, and like she wanted her Mother to back off. If you want to scarifies your daughter to chase YOUR dream of becoming some, “famous for 5 minutes reality show celebrity†then why don’t you think about letting a nurturing person take over the Mother role for you so that your little girl can live a normal life and not watch her Mother make an +!+ of herself.
Dreaa28 – You should really lean how to use spell check before you start firing back at people.
You seem very angry… typing in all CAPS… all crazy-like.. wow. Take a chill pill, it’s a television show blog – don’t get so all worked up over a ‘reality’ show that is more than likely scripted.
I agree with you Christy… I am shocked at what people find “good parenting”. I think Rocky probably does LOVE her child, but love does not always = good parenting choices. I’m afraid Hayley may turn out to be just as obnoxious as her mom as wild behavior or a smart mouth may be the only way the poor child gets any attention. I’m glad that they are out of the limelight… and tired of people not REALLY thinking about what everyday life must be like for a child of Rocky’s.
Rocky could do better, but she would have to admit that she isn’t doing her best already. What has she sacrificed for Hayley… hmmmm… she wore a long dress instead of the weird stuff she’d prefer to wear. I guess it is a start? She has some maturing to do. Good luck to her and Hayley…
I think Cheyenne is going to win and that the rico swavia kid is terrible
Okay Rocky and Haley are off the show now, so let’s try to focus on the talent of the kids for a little while. All these postings that say Haley was the most talented baffle me. Haley is very cute, and does has a certain style/look, but is it her own, or is it Rocky recreated as a child? I am sure we all heard Rocky say about 3,000 words an episode, but how much did we really get to hear from Haley? Haley will find her voice, but not on this show, and not yet.
I am actually looking forward to the next showing. No doubt that there will still be plenty of mama drama, but maybe, just maybe, there will also be some chances for the kids to come through.
These kids are show enough, and we might get to see more of that now. I think that some of these kids and their moms are real teams, with real goals, and real talents to showcase.
Good luck for April 17th show!
I can’t believe Hayley was sent home! She was so cute and although she was unprepared and forgot things at times, she definitely had the look for Hollywood, which I must say, these other girls really do not except Alai and McKenzie.Gigi is absolutely crazy and I cannot stand her outbursts and ignorance, and I think Hayley was only sent home personally because of Rocky. For example, when Rocky was trying to direct Hayley in the cartoon, Hayley did horribly, however when her mother left, she did great!
looks like it is all about the money 4 the parents
I just wanted to say that I hope you continue on your path with Hayley. She is perfect for this business and so are you. One must have a little “moxy” to withstand the b.s. that goes on all around in Hollywood. The other mothers are sooo desperate and it is so clear that they want it more than their child does. IN the end, be proud that you can look back and know that you behaved admirably on national t.v. Your daughter will be proud that you stood up for her, but did not stand on top of her. You are a fun, colorful, beautiful lady and NO ONE can take that away…Shari needs to get the heck over it, as she just continues to make an idiot of herself and ultimately embarass her son…
I can’t believe Haley & Rocky were eliminated. Haley’s photo was chosen as the best. So she was @ least 1 out of 2 unlike the others. Rocky was able to hear constructive criticism and apply it. Rocky you are a loving Mother doing a wonderful job raising Hayley. Hayley someday you will be a star. Best to both of you.
I’m sorry, did I miss something? I’m frightened to think that ANYONE could think that Rocky acted “admirably” on the show ~ she made fun of CHILDREN and parents, she was repulsive and vulgar, she didn’t help Hayley prepare very well and she went off on the other mothers who were just trying to get ready for the day by putting on makeup. I think that Rocky loves Hayley and that is great. Even Rocky would admit that her behavior is over the top. That is “real” and who she is ~ but it is NOT normal and it isn’t admirable. Get real.
has no one realized that gigi is the real trouble maker in the house, not only that but it’s cruel the way that she speaks to her daughter. what a B#$@CH!!! i hope for the sake of her daughter that “she” losses this competition for both of them
Fo Shizzle….The IP Address tells all whos uses and says all folks so any false slandering can be put to charges….ROCKY RULES>>>>>>PLAY THE ROCKY THEME MUSIC>>>>>>>>>>>>Motivation time…..My favorite part of the show was ROCKY, HALEY, CHEYENNE and her mom but where is 1/2 of this show…..the Producers may have been good but god damn they should of kept Rocky and Haley on for at least 3 shows more…..NOT LIKE IT WONT COME DOWN TO CHEYNNE and ??? anyways so why not keep the best part of the show on for a little longer…….VH1 is stupid and so is anybody dissing Rocky and Haley…..Rocky was over reACTing on purpose on the show because she has charisma and Haley was the most adorable girl and I wanted to see her in different roles in future shows BUT…oh yeah, Danny Bonadouchebag cut them like an idiot….CUT the DAMN Blond Girl and the Black Women….you know they wont go nowhere but ROcky and Haley were better then them by far…VH1 SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F$#@% YOU VH1 and Danny BonadoucheBAG!!!!
again, puleeeeeeze Rocky….get over yourself! Hayley didn’t make it because she didn’t have it…your a tornado of destruction. Think of what you are teaching your daughter…..she learns by example….do you want her to grow up to be labeled as easy or a tramp? and no this isn’t your nemesis…go ahead and check my IP address…..as far as Cameron is concerned…after the fact, it seems like he isn’t doing so badly…..as they say, the proof is in the pudding…..where is Haleys resume? where is she working? She is a very beautiful little girl and has potential, but unfortunately she will never achieve it with you steering her possible career unless it is to pose in some trash magazine. As to the other kids on the show, Cheyenne has tons of talent, Mary Jo doesn’t, she thinks her “cuteness” is all that is necessary, wrongo bongo, MacKenzie…cute gal, possible with the right coach, Gian, wants it badly to keep going until he succeeds, but again, wrong coach to lead him…..alai and Gigi…another disaster waiting to happen…no talent child with an overbearing mother. It’s truly amazing to me…here is a shot to showcase your child and their potential and all the time off moments, the mothers stole the limelight…..instead of creating off time moments that had their child shine..
Alai’s haircut was awful last episode. Also, Mary Jo should win. she’s pretty, good actor, and has the attitude.
I really diskike Cheyenne’s mother as much or more than I dislike Gigi. She’s very smug and mean spirited. Cheyenne’s OK.
Okay how obvious is it that nrsnan is Cameran’s fat slob “It’s Pat’ Marci from the peanuts __~@ eyed mother, Sheri. Who on any of these boards ever mentions or even remembers Cameron–and puts Hayley down.. Your so obvious, by the way school plays and local theatre are not credits–your laughable, Hayley’s done five commercials and two pilots and was on the front cover of the LA times Sunday–So…BAM!! You twinkie, ring-ding overloading fat slob!!! Hee hee. Give it up you loser, they love us!!!!!!! Besides they don’t give you a typewriter in jail. Which is where your gonna wind up.
Love Rocky
