filtered against evil
And now I remember why I do not watch television often. I am fairly certain I was told of this show before and forgot. I have noted the extreme emphasis placed upon ones physical aspects and looks, but to put children through it at such young ages? To make them appear older than they are? It is rather depressing. They are children, not living dolls. It is one thing if they are balanced and not obsessive on winning and appearances, but from the samples given, that is rarely the case.
I am sure there are benefits, I just do not understand the need or desire to be judged on looks and using ones own child in such ways.
