I've never seen the show. In fact, I don't even know what network carries it where I live. However, recently I saw the child and the mother on GMA, I think. The mom answered all of the interview questions, and the kid didn't say that much, but she was making strange faces and wiggling and flailing her arms and just acting kind of strangely. The other observation I made was the obese mother sitting next to a child who is well on her way to being obese. Such a shame.

The mother had lost quite a bit of weight in the last year or so. I hope she's still working on it. It would be a good example for the kids to follow.

Hi bri - I haven't seen their charitable actions shown on the program. I actually read about it in some articles that talked about their community.

I saw on FB a while ago, people were sending Alana money and toys, she donated them to Toys For Tots.

I think they are good hearted and generous, but I do admit some of the things they do, do gross me out.

I started to watch and it was so disgusting I could not. How gross to be looking for someone who does not flush the toilet. They were more graphic about it though. I turned it off as soon as I got the jest of the show. And I agree with those who say Honey is just a fat little girl who has lost her cuteness. I did not know there were people that willing to share their ignorance. Guess the pay is good. Like one person said, they probably have a lot more money in the bank than I do. Between that and a show called Snake Salvation I should cancel my cable. But then I can turn those shows off.

Before Honey B B became famous, I saw her and her mother on a talk show about child pageants. June coached her as she did her thing. Kept telling her to show off her belly, by grabbing it and flapping it around for the audience. That was so sick, I could not stand them. What kind of mother would teach their child to show off their flab? I just couldn't believe it when I heard they got their own TV show.

As with probably all reality shows, they are just acting out scenes in most cases and what you see is probably really not how they actually are in real life but a morphed up version of them solely for entertainment purposes. I have watched them on talk shows and mamma June is actually more intelligent than she is portrayed as.

Also isn't sugar bear an EMT or some type of emergency responder so he can't be that uneducated.
