Quote From: dzollerKiki, kudos to you for supporting and HELPING Gracie fulfill her dreams. Gracie is obviously beautiful and talented and I hope she does make it some day. The other mothers in the house should learn by Kiki's example. I am appalled by the other mother's behavior especially the mother who is constantly cursing and yelling at her daughter, you should be so ashamed of your behavior.
What nice sentiments for you to express and very appreciated! On behalf of Gracie, Kiki and the entire Team Gracie, we wish you much happiness and hope you keep watching and voting! You are going lots of talent today other than Gracie. Personally, my favorite other than Gracie is little Kyrian. In my opinion, Kyrian has an enormous amount of both charm and intelligence and he really stands out as a character. It would be fun to see a project develop that had Gracie and Kyrian as big sister and little brother.
Remember to give a little bit of the benefit of the doubt to the other mothers as well as to Kiki. I believe Dr. Phil really makes a great effort to be fair with what shows up on his tapes when his producers put a show like this together. Still, this is not a natural enviroment (just like Hollywood is NOT a natural environment). Very few of us would handle these situations perfectly because they sort of take on a life of their own once your locked in the room in a competitive situation. Clearly, some handled it better than others and possibly the cracks let through some of the true colors of the participants.
However, I believe all human beings are far too complex to understand from a few mintues of video tap from a reality show. These mothers and their children are no exception to this rule. I believe Dr. Phil would agree. What you can do is really listen for the learning that's there for all parents in the way we interact with and support our children. I can tell you that I've learned a great deal -- so much so that its like drinking from a fire hose. It will take me months to digest all the learning that's available from this experience.
Again, just thanks for recognizing what I already know about Kiki and Grace and taking the time to express here publically! It means a lot to us all!
Namaste!
Kurt
