I thought that TLC had the market on reality trash but they are by far not the only network stooping to all new levels of low, WE network has become just as desperate to air whatever trash they can scrape up. Being brutally candid here let’s look at the facts, first of all why would anyone in their right mind have ever referred to June as not to hot! The woman was not, is not and I doubt has ever been hot unless of course they mean a hot mess! The show revolves around the entire clan so it’s unclear as to why the show would be named after June. Then there is the matter of how it all started and to be brutally honest here, I cannot understand why they would produce a show to begin with revolving around “Booboo”! All children are cute and there are cases of children that do stand out because they are so beautiful but that kid was never an exceptional beauty, definitely no more so than any other child.
One can only assume that they originally produced the show because of how Honey Boo Boo and her family behaved, they glorified the fact that they came across as uneducated, backward, overindulgent yahoos. June never seemed to concern herself with silly things like what her kids ate or how much they ate or manners for that matter! So now at what sixteen, still the network is airing Booboo and her Mama and the rest of the family and still no one seems concerned with things like health and healthy eating.
When I review anything I try to be fair, keeping an open mind regardless if it makes me want to gag and this “show” is no different. Recently I watched an episode that turned my stomach more so than usual. The sister “Pumpkin” went to her mother Junes home and upon seeing her new boyfriend immediately asked why he looked like “Sugar Bear” and asked why he didn’t have teeth! Hmm….. could it be because he doesn’t have a fat bank account? Maybe some moron didn’t cast him in a trashy reality show and overpay him when no one wanted to see him either? Point being she didn’t know the guy, didn’t know his story, his situation and came up with yet another ignorant, vile remark that would embarrass any educated human being! Rather than ask her if the reason that she is so morbidly obese is because of the fact that she can’t keep her mouth closed, he simply turned and went back inside, proving he has more class in his little pinky than she could ever have.
WE network really needs to clean up, take out the trash, trim the fat. Stop glorifying such unhealthy, disgusting behaviors, Booboo should never have been given any show from the start and certainly not June or her family. There are plenty of interesting people out there that viewers would actually enjoy watching and this bunch is NOT in any way one of them! All WE has done is to line the pockets of these most UNdeserving people, all you hear from Pumpkin is how she’s raising Junes kids and she has drummed up quite a bit of support from people believing that what she’s doing is so noble, raising her sister and housing the other sister. It doesn’t take a genius to see that WE is shelling out FAARRRR more than any of them are worth when what it’s doing is reflecting poorly on the network. The networks mistake has afforded Pumpkin a much larger house and God knows what else.
If you want to watch a family of obese, ill mannered, seemingly uneducated people with Pumpkin making the same stupid face every episode, rolling her eyes and not looking directly at anyone as she does, tune in. If you want to see Booboo eating and taking on the same mannerisms as the sister as she dates a kid that gave her some attention, tune in. Sadly the ONLY tolerable part of this show (if there is one) are Pumpkins daughter and son but that can’t carry the show or justify wasting the airtime. Many viewers are sick and tired of condoning and promoting unhealthy lifestyles, giving shows to morbidly obese families when the health issues that go hand in hand are never addressed. When you see the members of this family gorging the food and what they allow Booboo to eat it is enough to turn your stomach. The sister claims that she’s doing a better job “raising” Booboo than June could and yet she has not broken the cycles that June created. The kid still eats way too much food and the most unhealthy, fattening food she can get her hands on, you know two cheeseburgers with a huge side of french fries swimming in cheese and that may have just been her appetizer that night! The kid has had the ridiculously long fake nails for a long time, certainly back when no kid of such a young age should be piling on the makeup and wearing fake nails. While her attitude of believing that she’s all that and then some might be positive, she comes across as cocky and if she had parental guidance that allowed a healthy dose of honesty, she would realize that she is far too fat and if for nothing else she needs to lose some of that weight to be healthy! You would think that her father having diabetes would have been a wake up call but no, she can’t ration that food for five minutes to educate herself on the dangers of being morbidly obese.
My advice to anyone wondering, turn the channel when this crap is on because if you thought Honey Boo Boo was a crappy show and June, from Not Hot to Not Hot, you haven’t seen anything. This show is about as bottom barrel as it gets and WE should be ashamed of themselves for ever airing it, producers ashamed for ever creating this true dumpster fare.
