First of all, anyone watching this would never believe that Tripp is 4!!
ReplyDeleteBut he is so unruly and rude, OMG, I already knew that, but he's really a brat and Melissa said 5 minutes into it that he has no manners!
And why does Bristol have her coat on in the house?!! In LA!! She's wearing a down jacket inside the house! OMG this is too much. So much to say.....

Don't tell me Bristol is hiding another baby bump? Didn't she just get a case of those special cramp pills?
DeleteIs she expecting again?
DeleteMaybe she's pregnant again. Was there a scarf too?
DeleteMelissa said 5 minutes into it that he has no manners!
DeleteIt took Melissa that long to figure that out? Melissa should start reading Immoral Minority.
Tripp is not 4 years old.
DeleteBelieve it or not - there was a scarf! Deja vu...
DeleteIf Bristol has one of those bands they don't make you stay trim. The laxatives, RedBull and all the Palins are known to do, aren't necessarily lasting. Sarah is more strung out and she is staying skeletal.
DeleteNo way is he 4 years old. I'm betting on 6. He would only be 4 if his father were 6' 8" tall (in which case he'd look appropriately tall for that age). But since his mother is a shrimp and his father is not tall, that only adds to my conclusion (that he may appear shorter than his actual age), and I'm sticking with it. Everyone should be checking his teeth: are they, or even some of them, adult teeth? If so, end of story.
DeleteBut that was QUITE the change from beginning to end. Tripp is a smart kid, who learns FAST.
DeleteI think Willow learned a lot. Meaning, she learned she needs to not goad Tripp and bait him. But you have to hand it to him, the kid learn fast and does know manners when it comes down to it.
DeleteMy granddaughter is 6 and she is losing teeth like crazy..I think 7 are out already. Wouldn't put it past Bristol to get some fake teeth if he loses them soon...don't want anyone thinking the kid is his real age after all.
DeleteI have a feeling his manners are fine when he's with his dad.
Delete6:29, 6:30... Yawn more predictable nonsense.. Tripp isn't smarter than any other kid out there. Your comments are weird. Wow. Get a life.
Delete32 minutes in, here in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say so far is, "Poor Tripp."
Why? He's 4 and obviously an outdoors kid. But he picked things up well and said please etc. AND, considering that he sleeps with both Bristol and LEvi (at his house), that was impressive how he pretty easily slept in his own bed.
DeleteWhat do you mean he's an "outdoors kid?" Is that like an outdoor cat vs. an indoor cat?
DeleteIf he "learned" that easily it means he knew all along how to have manners and also knew he didn't have to have them in front of his mother.
Outdoor kids poop in the woods with the Pope. Indoor kids (boys) pee on the toilet until they go off to college. If they don't go to college, they never get their aim down.
DeleteIs that Tri-PP's baby's mama in the red?
ReplyDelete(In Gryph's posted picture)
DeleteI have the same question - since Bristle insisted many times that she does everything herself !
DeleteIs that Willow?
DeleteI think it's a ABC worker.
DeleteAll the other people in the restaurant were giving them crusty looks because Tripp was so obnoxious in the restaurant. Now they are at another restaurant and he's doing it again.
ReplyDeleteR in NC
White Trash gonna out.
Deletewhat happened to the sweet boy that would prey before a meal. SOOO cute!
DeleteWhat happened to the kid last year who sat at the table and prayed? The pic is on Bristols facebook.
DeleteObviously he was posing for a picture. He's as fake as the rest of his family, and too young to even know he's being used.
DeleteWhen did Sarah Palin dye her hair blonde and is that Bristol's oldest boy standing next to her?
ReplyDeleteHAHA..that's 80 year old Joan and her grandson.
DeleteShe's wonky eyed in that pic.
DeleteI was so afraid Joan was buying into the poor
ReplyDeletebristol act, but she's not! Bristol is sulky and refusing to participate much.
Tripp's behavior is breaking my heart.
Bristol is as good an actress as she is a dancer. I hope this gets the fewest ratings all season.
DeleteHer voice is super-annoying, very different from Mama Grizzly but just as obnoxious and fake.
DeleteI for one can wait until an online video is available.
DeleteAt least we know the Palinbots can't multiply themselves for show ratings like they did voting for Bristol on DWTS.
Bristol is the LAZIEST mother ever! Poor Tripp is going to be known as "that kid", you know the one no ones parents will let them play with, the teachers write off, and the cops always watch? Nice job Bristol!
ReplyDeleteThat show did her, or her son no favors. She came off like an idiot. She will undo everything that Melissa has tried to do with Tripp too, you betcha'.
Wow, you're an idiot. She obviously liked the system, as everyone who does this show walks away with the tips from the other side. It was a perfect pairing. Melissa has an older boy and can relay her experiences onto Bristol. And Tripp is a popular kid. He is fine.
DeleteI suspect Bristol learned parenting from the REAL laziest parent ever.
DeleteHe is NOT fine. Are you Bristol?? Because you seem as stupid, clueless and defensive as she is. People think you are Kristy. I've been observing your posts and the ones you really freak over are Bristols. It's interesting.
DeleteTripp is fine? Tripp hits his mother, talks back, has no manners, tells his mother he hates her, swears at his age.... Yeah he's fine and I'm an idiot.
DeleteHe sleeps with his mother. He is not fine. This show was in May..I'm betting there is no longer a sticker system, and that Tripp is back to his old habits.
DeleteOne of the items on Melissa's sticker/behavior chart is "Don't say Hate."
ReplyDeleteHow many 4 year olds need to get a sticker for each time they don't say that?
Also, when Bristol was leaving to go on the SWAP, she said, "No cussing!" She was saying it to Tripp!!!
Doesn't all trailer park mamas say that to their obnoxious 6 year old boys when they leave?
DeleteNo cussing?
DeleteWhy would a Christian mother who raises a Christian son even have to mention that? Sarah are you teaching Tripp some of your filthy words?
im gonna say he probably picked it up from the male friends of Andy when he was around. People like that. That would make sense.
DeleteSure... Male friends of Andy. You know everyone so well, don't you? Interesting.
DeleteI'm gonna say he pickked it up from his motehr, aunt, and grandma, who are no strangers to swearing. People like that.
DeleteDid he also pick up from Andy how to call other kids "raghead?"
DeleteWe already have seen Tripp use bad language on another reality show - the word was 'f--k'! Remember?
DeleteRepublican Strategy For 2016: Change Nothing, Piss Everyone Off
ReplyDeleteSARAH BRISTOL LIES ARE PERFECT. THEY WILL GET MANY MORE JOBS WITH REPUBLICANS.
I think Willow didn't go to "hair school" at all..... she must have been sent away while she had a baby....... she had the opportunity to do the anchor woman's hair and she freaked out and turned it down......
ReplyDeleteThat did not seem like a normal reaction at all. Nope, something doesn't smell right...
R in NC
My thoughts exactly. She totally freaked. I think maybe she only went to a few classes and quit. Had her baby, "graduated" & came home.
DeleteShe was there, and she got a trip to England out of it, but I wonder of she ever got a certificate, or if she is actually licensed. You can take all the classes you want, and pay the big bucks for a fancy school, but you still have to pass the licensing exam. Funny how Sarah hasn't tweeted about how hard Willow is studying for her exam..and hasn't it been a year now since she 'graduated?'
DeleteThere was a posed hair skull picture of Willow and other hair skullers at the saloon doing Vidal Sasoon hair cuts. It looked like Willow didn't have a clue and it was a set up. She may have been at the skull saloon up to that time? She was to go to London. Did anyone ever see in documentation of her trip?
DeleteYou would think that Willow would jump at an opportunity to practice her skills, gain experience and add to her CV. Melisa was very generous to make the offer and judging from her expression when Willow turn it down flat she was truly baffled by Willow's lack of ambition & appreciation.
DeleteBristol also refused to be on Joan's show and insisted that she would just be an observer. Neither Bristol nor Willow seem to be motivated to accept new challenges in their lives and seem to be content to stagnate.
Willow was the only one with the strange awkward square sweep of blush on her face, also. I wondered if she did her own makeup...
DeleteA Palin trait, all talk about their expertise but when put to the test, quit or 'advance in another direction.'
DeleteShe didn't freak out. She was honest in saying she didn't feel ready. That takes balls.
Delete6:24
DeleteTakes balls? Willow is a young woman. Why do you crazy repubs like your women to have male parts? You brag about their cajones constantly.
hmmmmmm
Anon 6:24,,, you are SO SO predictable. Just which Palin are you?? She DID freak out! Only a Palin or a psychostalker would go through the comments
Delete[Anonymous6:24 PM
DeleteShe didn't freak out. She was honest in saying she didn't feel ready. That takes balls.]
Sorry Dude...that's not ballsy, that's obviously a girl who should not have quit High School, was not ready to try to learn a new career because she wasn't doing it for the right reasons. She isn't mature enough to actually DO A JOB, she doesn't WANT TO. It takes BALLS TO ACCEPT THE OFFER and just jump in and DO IT. She's obviously suffering from a huge case of "I'm scared of fucking everything leave me alone to sponge off my sister" syndrome.
Neither of these girls appears to want to 'live vibrantly.' And was there any mention of working on their family Christmas legalese book?
DeleteI think we have a bingo on anonymous 4:48 pm. We can verify that there never was a hair school experience by looking up the list of people in Alaska (and perhaps Arizona) who are licensed cosmetologists. Easy as pie. Then the question arises, was hair school a code word for a 5-month mono absence to Aunt heather's house?
DeleteIt takes "balls?" You really are an idiot, aren't you?
DeleteWillow went to hair school. Willow's mother said Willow was going to open up her own business.
Willow has to pass the test in Alaska to get her license to be able to practice her supposed new craft. Records can be checked in Juneau. The license has to be hung in her place of work too!!!
DeleteFap-a-thon commencing at PeePond, in hopes that the Granny Grifter makes an appearance. If she doesn't, MJ and his fellow fappers will instead look at 5-year old pictures of Tunda Turd (like she hasn't aged 15+ yrs since 2008.)
ReplyDeleteIt's already started at PeePond:-

I just watched Wife Swap, my favorite one by far. You have just got to love the Palin family. It showed the love between grandson and grandfather, Tripp and Todd. And at the end, even Joan Rivers had tears coming down saying she just loved Bristol. When you meet Gov Palin and her family, minds change. I have been hearing stories and reading stories about how nice a person Gov Palin is and how the media has lied about Gov Palin. Now I no why they did this show, you have got to reach the masses and ABC is a major network because people can get it free on antenna. I actually didn't think I would like Celebrity Wife Swap, but I did.
"Fap-a-thon" -- I love it! The word, I mean...
DeleteABC is a major network because people can get it free on antenna.
DeleteWasilla is that Bristol's favorite position?
ReplyDeleteFirst post on Sarah Palin's Facebook regarding Celebrity Wife Flop:
ReplyDeleteKriste Andrea Tujague > Sarah Palin · Your daughters and grandson are embarrassing you on television. I fully support you Ms. Palin, but those girls are a direct reflection of you and it isn't pretty. They have that flippant attitude like you had towards Katie.
Ha ha this post disappeared as fast as it appeared. It was just there and now it vanished.
DeleteThat cuts right to the bone.
DeleteYou are a better man than me Anonymous. Following Palin's Facebook comments must be like burying your face in a hamper of shit stained tighty whiteys. But apparently if you starve your brain of oxygen long enough you get a whiff of roses.
Well, don't you see, a statesman, an unknown person seeking the second-highest-command of this powerful country, is allowed to display displeasure and annoyance at a reporter doing their job asking stuff, like questions for a person soliciting votes from viewers. . .
Deletehttp://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-5670343-503544.html
Like Mother, like Daughters....what rude and ungrateful paranoid immature brats they are. Bristol feels so "victimized" and says she was "set up"? WTH? All she had to do was at least involve herself in the conversation at the dinner table and stand her ground. No....she was snippy & rude and then complained about it later. Melissa offers Willow one hell of an opportunity to show off her newly learned "hair school" skills by arranging a deal with an ABC affiliate for Willow to do the anchor's hair before the news. (I would have jumped at this if I was a rookie, talk about a way to get your business started, right?)What did Willow say to that? "NO! I don't wanna do it.....whah whah". Rude & insulting and it just goes to show that the only reason she went to Arizona was to get away for a year and basically DO NOTHING. I sense she just wants to ride on the coattails of Mom & Sister, use their money & be supported, and then change her mind and decide to "do something else" or just get pregnant & get married....
ReplyDeleteBristol also REFUSED to WORK on Joan's show. Wasn't that the entire point of this program? You swap lives? She flat out refused to work. She said "I don't wanna do it....whah whah....". Guess it runs in the family.
What losers.
And now they're talking about this being a set up.
No comment on Tripp's behavior. He doesn't behave like this when he is with his Dad & Sunny. He obviously rules the roost when he's with his Mom & Willow. Bristol may be a Mother as far as giving birth to him, but she isn't a PARENT.
She is raising him to be a 1st class brat. What a shame.
It was a set. They set themselves up and don't have a clue. Blame gamers...
DeleteRight. Gina Louden said she was set up. So I guess Bristol and Willow couldn't learn from her experience, so they "allowed" themselves to be "set up."
DeleteThat's what fundy conservatives are allowed to do now, sign up for something for the exposure, but back out and claim victimhood once their violatin contracts inevitably come about.
DeleteJust like Mama Sarah has always tried to blame others for her own ignorance and inability to speak anything other than her ramble-on word salad. Why would Brisket and Wallow be any different? They're just as dumb, undereducated, and have never learned to have a sense of responsibility.
DeleteHow would you like it if you were slandered by people like oyourself and judged for things strangers know nothing about? Of course they're cautious.
DeleteI think the main issue is WIllow would goad Tripp behind BRistol's back. But you have to hand it to them. He adapted well. And keep in mind, all kids act much better outside the home.
DeleteBri$tol could have turned it down and chosen to work for a living.
DeleteAnonymous @ 6:22 PM... Bristol, why don't you just write this bushwah under your own name?
DeleteBTW, you and your sister and your parents put yourselves "out there" on REALITY TV, and you may not realize it, but that means ALL OF US "know" everything about you. After all, isn't it REALITY TV?
Geez, if you don't want us to know about you, 1) stay off TV altogether, 2) play a part with a script in a program that is totally not a bit like you, or 3) accept the criticism, instead of whining.
"Of course they're cautious?" You know, if my mother acted like Sarah Palin, put me on display, and then garnered lots and lots of hateful comments for her lies and actions, the LAST thing I would do it get myself on TV over and over again. But then, I don't live for the almighty dollar.
DeleteAppearing on every reality teevee show you can get your hands on is not being "cautious." Why is it you can't see that? These young women WANT to be in the spotlight. They WANT to be talked about.
DeleteWhat's with Palin taking advantage octogenarians? She reminds me of a female Uncle Charlie from Shadow of a Doubt.
ReplyDeleteIsn't 5 a little old to still be breast feeding?
ReplyDelete?
DeleteOMG - Tripp is one ill mannered kid and that all goes back to Bristol and Willow. Of course, this just goes back to how Sarah and Todd raised them. Bristol played the victim, but Joan was not buying it. Willow turned down an opportunity that anyone who had just actually graduated from cosmetology school would have jumped at. I seriously doubt that Willow ever even graduated.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, the Palins are shown to be very shallow, lazy people and have absolutely no structure in their life. Education plays no role in their lives.
This show was NOT a plus for the Palins but I'm sure that the spin will reflect on it differently.
Tripp is a smart kid who took to structure well though. The funny thing is, BRistol was always a perfectionist as a kid. I think the outcome was positive, as people on the show walk away with tips from the other team. Always do, every episode.
Delete6:21
DeleteAre you jerking off as you type?
The people who take advice from their opposites on previous shows were people who can LEARN. The Palins do not learn, they think they know it all already. Is that house the one Bristles calls her "little house"? Nice place for someone who has never put in a hard day's work in her life.
DeleteKids LOVE structure. They want limits. Bristol never had them, so she has no clue how to set them, nor what a kidergartner needs (to get out of her bed, for one!)
DeleteSeeing Tripp made me think of Track. How his Dad was so concerned and tried to reason with Sarah but ended up dead.
DeleteWell, it was a vacuous but cute show. Tripp is cute, no doubt, and Cooper is a sweet boy. The presentation of their home life is totally exaggerated; I doubt that Melissa Rivers doesn't take time off with her son to get away and relax, nor do the Palins just sit around and go muddin' and eat moose liver all the time.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between all other reality tv players and the Palins though is that they actually think that people believe this crap. Audiences just want comedy and feather-light entertainment and are smart enough not to believe these presentations are real.
I wouldn't use this episode as a gauge to observe what Willow and Bristol are really like. It's the shows goal to present them as hicks from Wasilla; in the same manner it's goal is to present the Rivers as obsessive over-ambitious glam queens.
All it shows is that the daughters of an ex-governor have caught the bug of celebrity-dom and will cash in as long as they can. It won't affect B or W, but it will affect Tripp long-term. He shouldn't have been involved in any of it. He's had to live in a very unconventional existence being jetted to and fro in studios, on camera, magazine photo ops, since he was a baby. He's moved back and forth from AK, CA, AZ more times than the average American. His restless jet-setting extended family are here today, gone tomorrow, there is no constant in his life and it is tragic. When SP brags about her Alaska small-town credentials, she forgets her grandson has been forbidden to experience the traditional small-town America she constantly boasts about, because she taught her family to seek fame above all.
Cooper has grown up in the 'business' and may have positive enforcements to help him deal with it, and is old enough to understand. But, the grandson of a woman who wants to provoke for attention and is an attention diva, and who is told that he, his mom and grandma are always being victimized by media, is going to have a hard time to adjust to life. It won't matter if he lives in a small town or not.
Tripp lives in a suburb of Anchorage. Some might say Anchorage and burbs are a small town. Tripp will want out and to yo yo back and forth as a way to solve his problems. He has learned that much. Too bad Levi and Sunny have not been able to pay more attention to what he has been subjected to all these years.
DeleteLevi has tons of documentation of how he is treated and the problems if he can get it together.
Bristol can earn enough to pay a good amount of child support.
Really because Tripp seemed pretty adaptable fora 4 yr old.
DeleteLevi has nothing to do with this crap. If he had the money to stop it he would. How many reality shows has Levi exploited his children in? Zero.
DeleteTripp looks at least 5 yr old. The Palins are famous for lies. They need at least 3 documents if they ever want to be verified and believed. You know, Reagan said to verify. Now is not the time to disrespect Ronald Reagan. The Republicans are on a downward slide. Verify. If Tripp is 4 yr old we will know when we see the documents.
DeleteI wonder how much sugar he was promised or given to have him seem adaptable.
5:57 Tripp does not live in Anchorage. The Palin klan lives in Wasilla which is about an hour drive north of Anchorage on one of its main highway systems.
DeleteWasilla is located in the Matanuska-Susitna area near Palmer. Wasilla has a population that has grown, but is considered a small town. Anchorage has a population of 360,000+.
Alaska is a large state in land mass, but small in population - 600,000+ statewide.
The plus is that Levi and Sunny (and his little sister) provide good family time (when they have him and I have no idea how often that is?). They get him outdoors where he can experience small town Alaska - fishing, the outdoors, etc.
DeleteI hope they have a lot of access to him.
Anyone watching the SkyWire Act? My palms are already sweating and he hasn't even started yet!
ReplyDeleteI lost out to the SkyWire and I just can't look. My son is glued to the tv. Guess Bristol et al will lose out tonight.
DeleteI cannot watch that. He needs positive thoughts. I will send that. He doesn't need my fear.
DeleteI did watch. Scared the crap out of me..I hate heights anyway. He kept praying out loud the whole way, and his dad was in his earpiece encouraging him and giving him tips. The wind was way worse than he expected, and the wire was flexing. Very very scary.
DeleteEek, guess you have to admit that the Palin's have looks over the Rivers. . .brains, talent and go-getter-ness, not so much.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a race to see who dies with the most plastic surgery.
DeleteThey're small town girls who love that life. Yet are adaptable enough to get along with people from other backgrounds. It was a great episode.
DeleteRemember that Melissa could be Bristol's mother and Joan could be her grandmother. Bristol and Sarah already have a facefull of plastic surgery. Neither will age well. But, brains and talent are forever.
Delete6:18pm
DeleteAre you saying that you regularly tune in to such shows as the Wife Swap? The only other time I've heard of this show was when the fat christian woman went nuts and said that her swapping family had the devil in them and weren't christians. It's a viral YouTube video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3mDLsyn6ns
We must face facts. 25% of Americans are living with IQ's under 100. They slurp this crap up because it titillates the only part of their brain that is active. Their pleasure center drives their lives, that's why they have too many children and believe in god, regardless of the consequences. They also watch shows like Wife Swap. TV execs love this demographic of lazy folks just sitting around watching any crap they throw onto a channel.
DeleteI expect to see Joan looking 80 and plastic. I can't believe how horrible Bristol's surgeries are showing at her younger age. They all have that weird look. Melissa and Joan do it for work like Fashion Police. Wimpy Brissy won't even do a guest fill in. No frontier woman in that one. Her so called life story is nothing but lies and bullchit.
Delete6:18. Could you be more obvious?? You are so full of crap!! You are going through and correcting any slight!! That's what Sarah does... ROFL!!! Coincidence??? I don't think so.
DeleteI watched Wife Swap once when I was staying in a hotel and had the tv on for company. It was the one where the belly dancer switched places with the farm wife. The farm wife made the belly dancer's kid cry. The belly dancer made everyone on the farm uncomfortable. It was a hot mess. The show isn't about "learning." It's about spectacle, just like every other reality tv show out there. As usual, Bristol has made a spectacle of herself.
DeleteParanoid Bristol was adapting at the sit down dinner that Joan invited her as the guest of honor?
DeleteWhat a case.
adaptable? Willow is terrified to leave her cocoon. Bristol is incredibly insecure and went into her mental case when around others.
DeleteI'm glad ya'll are watching so I don't have to!
ReplyDeleteWord amongst the crew is that the kid smells too. Sound engineer: Didn't anybody teach that boy to wash his ass?
ReplyDeleteWow. Grow up.
DeleteThat is a little harsh. The poor kid may still be in diapers and that is what happens, those kids smell. Take Tripp aside and let him know in private.
DeleteANON 6:17-- wow... Get a thicker skin?? Why are you here?? You know exactly what the comments will be like, yet you come here anyhow. That's very disturbing. Very.
DeleteAll little kids smell bad. They are generally dirty, sticky and you'd do well not to let one touch you until it has washed its hands. Icky little things, that's why God made nannies.
DeleteWillow and Bristol are both damaged young adults. We have seen their shockingly bad behavior for years, now we see another side of them and its very different from how they acted in that other reality show. They were insecure to a fault and neither had any parenting skills at all. They had no role models growing up and had nothing to offer Tripp.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that they were brow beaten to do nothing to embarrass their mother and they were terrified and could do nothing but refuse to play and they both missed out.
This is a weird comment. I thought they handled it well considering how theyve been slandered.
DeleteI think Bristol mastered passive aggression a long, long time ago (ex., getting pregnant, twice, right as her mother was gaining a lot of political traction).
DeleteIt's the "slander" troll, who has no idea what slander means. President Obama has actually been slandered a lot, and he goes through life with grace, not like the spoiled and petty children that Bristol and Willow are.
Delete6:17- if anyone is weird, it's you. It's NOT slander. Are you incapable of learning.
DeleteYou are one sick cookie. Predictable. Angry. Masochistic.
Why did they sign on to do a show if they aren't going to participate like an adult? Their behavior is very immature and childish. They are still acting as passive aggressive as always and no wonder Tripp has the reactions he has. All the blame and excuses the Palins are known to come up with will never improve any thing in their or tripp's life. They seriously need to grow up. Time is running out. The next reality show will be a worse failure if they don't have a strong person to contrast with.
DeleteTheir enablers are determined not to give them an honest assessment and they will not be a friend that can help them grow.
Tell them how cute and wonderful they are (NOT)and keep them trapped in the sorry selves they show us on TV.
Bristol and Willow are first of all, intellectually challenged, and secondly, uneducated. The operate using their brain stem and function on basic needs, i.e. hunger, sadness, happiness, anger and neither touches on any higher level of being. That being said, they deserve each other and perhaps they will end up in a Grey Gardens type life there on the shores of Lake Lucille and once Tripp grows up and comes to terms with his terrible rearing he may bring them a hot meal every so often, unless he is in jail, which seems to be his path in life.
DeleteI refuse to watch it on tv. I don't want ABC to get ratings and come up with another dumbass Palin reality show.
ReplyDeleteI actually gthink Melissa is very pretty. Her sefl-confidence is also quite attractive. Look up her credentials online and see the differenc Joan grraduated from Barnard and Melissa has a ddegree in European History. Melissa was also brought up well and it shows in how she parents her son. I hope Bristol learned something about being a good mother from Joan and Melissa.
ReplyDeleteBristol certainly didn't learn anything good froher mother. I h ad once thought there was hope for Willow, but she seems intent upon being a brat even as an adult.
Melissa is pretty from inside. That is what has escaped the Palin's. Joan is even more beautiful due to not being 99.9% liar like the Palins. That.. the Palins will never understand. Hand them a knife, they will start carving thinking they can make themselves more prudy.
DeleteJoan worked her ass off to get where she is. Melissa had lots of stuff handed to her because of her mother, but also earned her own educational and occupational credentials.
DeleteBristol was lucky enough to have a famous mother. Bristol had a kid and has been exploiting him ever since. She has done nothing to better herself outside of making quick cash on the back of her son.
Sarah on Oprah November 16, 2008 on Levi Johnston: "I hear he goes by the name Ricky Hollywood now... He's quite busy with his media tours and he hasn't seen [his son] in a while."
ReplyDeleteWhat say Sarah now? o that's right she lies
DeleteYeah, I think of that a lot too..when is the last time Sarah has been in her beloved state for more than a day? March?
DeleteBoth Palin girls are thick and lazy.
ReplyDeleteTheir thick ankles don't even begin to compare to their thick brains.
DeleteTHat was a great episode. You can tell Tripp is used to being outside being a boy. But man is he smart. He picked up chores like a pro. And Im sure he was glad to get his "real" mommy back, given how he called Melissa the fake one. FOr a 4 yr old, that was probably hard to adjust to but honestly, you'd never know that by how easily he adapted to everything in the end. And considering he sleeps with BRistol AND with Levi (pictures), that was impressive how he pretty easily slept in his own bed THAT quickly.
ReplyDeleteHis bond with Todd made my heart smile, as did Joans emotion at the end. This show is ALL about learning. While Bristol obviously knows who she is and enjoys her small town life, she did enjoy spending time with them obviously. And im pretty sure Cooper loved eating in the kitchen. LOL
And honestly, I know Willow took her Boards tests right after this show, but I actually didn't mind her saying no to Melissa. I think it took balls to turn down something on tv and basically admit she's not at that step yet. IT's admirable in a large way.Admitting weakness is something MANY cant do.
GREAT episode.
Anon 6:16
DeleteOkay, give it up. You can't turn shit into a daffodil.
"This show is ALL about learning."
DeleteAre you kidding? It's ENTERTAINMENT! No wonder you palinfans misconstrue campaigning with grifting. You get all your learnin' from reality TV.
Uh...OK...wow...those are some mighty sunbeams coming out of your ass
DeleteThanks for the laugh.
Delete"I'm sure he was glad to get his "real" mommy back, given how he called Melissa the fake one."
DeleteShame on you for validating a rude, crude sociologically starved child's bad behavior.
BTW, Trig was Tripp before he was Trig. There's a real mommy and a fake mommy in that relationship, too.
Blah blah blah.
DeleteOkay Ram go get your paycheck from Sarah
DeleteWillow chickened out, just like her momma. The Palin gals have zero confidence.
DeleteYou will never see a Palin gal in a swim suit.
Too chicken.
ROFL!!!!!' You are off your rocket INSANE!!
DeleteAre you a stalker or a Palin? Either way, you are very slow and very very weird. Wow! Grow up! Get a life!!
If Bristles likes her small town life so much, why is she constantly flying to Arizona and California? Why did she take acting lessons, to become a "star".? The Palins are always looking for easy money, little work with LARGE paychecks. Their 15 minutes are about used up, thank goodness. Tripp is almost 6, he should "pick things up fast", also maybe he likes the fact that someone is taking time to teach him something.I did not watch this pile of moose crap.The entire Palin clan disgusts me, they are fake.
DeleteTRIPPING ????? Tripp is NOT 4.
DeletePS I really think you are on the wrong website.
Really, whatever the Palin family does would you wish that on any of your children? My goodness, imagine having a child that has to join the military because he's gotten into trouble and dropped out of school. Imagine a daughter who is pregnant at 17 and dropped out of school. Then imagine a daughter that has no higher aspirations than to be a hairdresser?
DeleteGood thing that the Palin family seems to have pretty low expectations regarding their children because in most upstanding middle class families this sort of lack of productivity and excellence would never fly.

DeleteTHat was a great episode.]
YOU my dear live in fantasy land.
Poor Tripp. The delusionals are digging him into a deeper hole. It is a cult and they reek of it.
Delete@anon 7:00 Bristol took acting lessons? It's a NY joke, but everyone will get it. Bristol couldn't act scared on the A train to Harlem.

DeleteThen imagine a daughter that has no higher aspirations than to be a hairdresser?]
There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that! Damn! I LOVE my hairdresser and wouldn't know what to do w/o him! It's the fact that Willow doesn't seem to even WANT to use the skills she learned! No shame in wanting to be a hairdresser (or any other service job...what would we do w/o them?) but at least she could actually DO IT! 20K+ for that school down the drain....
Oh my. So glad you think these girls have their act together, all based on a scripted hour of TV. And Tripp is five, at least. And yes, kids LOVE structure and jobs to do, and a bed to sleep in. Bristol wants him with ehr, so she allows it. I'm betting he's back in her bed already.
Delete"She would be known as the little whore down the block that had to go to Reno to have a (illegitimate) child." ... a more Bibliclal term is bastard.
DeleteI'm not watching this crap (but I'll happily comment).
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Willow flat out turned down a once in a lifetime opportunity to do what she was supposedly trained to do. How insecure do you have to be not even to try?
I think the truth is that the Rivers' really do feel sorry for Bristol and Willow because they are two pathetic creatures who were not raised right by their parents. Unfortunately, Tripp is paying the price as well.
Joan will come out of this thinking even less of Sarah Palin. I hope Sarah doesn't even think about opening her mouth to say anything disparaging about her daughters' experience on this show.
And which of the Palin witches are you?? It is too obvious that this is one of you.
ReplyDeletewow someone is really trying to rewrite this wife swap episode! this show had palins in it so it was an epic fail. nuff said about that.
ReplyDeleteyou can type all the words you want troll but nothing you say can change the fact that everything the palins do are fails or they quit.
move along.
oh puke. never watched that show and sure as hell am not going to start now.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know what Levi thinks of Bri$tol exploiting their son for $ or does he get a cut?
Bristol has a big butt.
ReplyDeleteI would bet tonight's episode gave away a clue that there might be more Willow or Bristol in the future. If Melissa was willing to pull strings at ABC for Willow, one might suppose this could be the next reality show; they could call it "Alaska Flakes and Follicles" or "Muddin' and Cuttin'"
ReplyDeleteBristol doesn't work in the skin joint she will need more TV work. She will need to find another gig from the country hick from no where much.
DeleteI think we should start a fund to rescue Tripp from the Palin family.
ReplyDeleteThat kid needs and intervention.
I'm in.
DeleteThey all need an intervention (Palins). Tripp might be the only one it could help.
DeleteI didn't expect to see the family as such a mess. Of course, it looks great to the enablers.
I definitely agree. OMG - Bristol and Willow were shown to be lazy and uneducated. Tripp doesn't have a prayer being raised with those two. It all goes back to how B and W were raised. What a dysfunctional family they are.
DeleteIf anyone "rescues" Tripp it should be Levi. He doesn't have the funds and perhaps it would just be better for him to let the Palins have Tripp and move on with his life. He has a beautiful daughter and can have many more kids if he wishes. If I was him I'd just walk away and be done with that crazy family.
DeleteLevi has the power. All he has to do is take her back to court. She's publicly smeared his name on many occasions.
DeleteMelissa is starting to look more and more like her Mom. Is she having facelifts already?
ReplyDeleteYes. You can hardly tell there is an age difference it the above picture.
DeleteYes, Melissa had her face and her boobs done. Joan just looks plastic.
DeleteI can't stand Joan Rivers, but that family is a lot closer and loving than the Palins. Tripp hates his mother, Willow talks trash about Bristol, and Bristol is a pompous victim.
ReplyDeleteI've seen enough.
I like that Joan pretended she could not remember any jokes she made about the Palins.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Joan, the Palins remember EVERYTHING!
I work with kids like Tripp every day.
ReplyDeleteAll he needs is a little consistent discipline and he will be fine.
I see him ending up like Willow and Track, spoiled vandals.
DeleteHe needs to be in Levi's care as far as physical custody goes. NOT with 2 young women who obviously think it's "cute" to have a young boy "rule the household". They actually think it's CUTE. It won't be so cute when Bristol has to ask her Mom for bail money when the kid is 15....
DeleteToo bad he won't get any of that unless he's taken out of Bristol's care.
DeleteGryphen, there is no affection in that family. No amount of discipline will take the place of it. I'm no Rivers fan but wow, the love they show each other really shows in Cooper's demeanor. Melissa was so gentle putting a spoiled Tripp to bed for the first time. Willow just rolled her eyes.
DeleteAlso, Cooper is being raised by an intelligent mother and loving grandmother. Tripp is being raised by two immature high-school mean girls.
DeleteWhy is Bristol still wearing her parka in LA?
ReplyDeleteTo keep up the facade of always dressing down, or (goose down)?
DeleteI don't recollect seeing Tripp in pyjamas when Melissa was able to put him to bed. If this is truly how he's raised, it's tragic. Looks like the child lives, eats and sleeps in perpetual chaos. Life with all family members living with both ends of the candle burning - constantly.
DeleteOkay I think that the restaurant that Melissa and Willow too Tripp to is the same one that Joe and I ate at while he was here.
ReplyDeleteAbout six minutes away from the Palin compound, by the way.
Not exactly out in the middle of nowhere.
It's so funny how this show about Bristol brings her loyal fans here to defend her. First of all, she didn't really feel set up, it's just an act. Albeit, a stupid act, because this doesn't require talent and makes her and her family a laughing stock. Bristol is laughing all the way to the bank now. She doesn't give a hoot who likes her or doesn't.
ReplyDeleteThe whole Palin clan laugh in the faces of their haters AND their loyal admirers. They have absolutely no loyalty or patriotic allegiance to anyone, anything and don't care if they've been set up, as long as there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. This fake "boo-hoo, I'm a victim meme, created by the Palins and the Reality Show makers is a profiteering-enterprise and only that.
Bristol doesn't care about anything, but for the fame and money she derives from this. I don't for one second believe she has low self-esteem, insecurity, or shy or victimized by perceived 'haters'. She creates her own reality by provoking her mother's critics, then uses the negativity to make herself a victim and voila! She's rich beyond her wildest dreams.
I feel for this family, especially for the young ones. They have been damaged and bruised by endless attacks, caused primarily by their own protectors, their parents. The parents are playing games with the delicate emotional states of their kids minds, by publicly claiming they are threatened, bullied, hated, while they, the parents (Palins) insist on being in the limelight time after time. Sarah Palin never turns down a chance to post pictures and photos and drop updates on her kids' activities. She wants people to quit talking about them, yet she's constantly throwing their names in the snake-pit. It's a never-ending cycle of crying wolf, and reaping people's pity money. All of it is sick, sick, sick.
INTERVENTION PLEASE, for the children's sake. Doesn't anyone in Alaska have any ounce of compassion for these kids? Is there nothing that can be done? I've never seen such abuse of children, which goes unchallenged by the proper authorities, in my lifetime.
"Are there gay bars? Was there a school slut in high school?" Joan asks.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahah
The parka thing was disturbing at best. Were all those clips shot when she walked in the door, fresh from Alaska? And then she wears the pink winter hat? INSIDE? IN LA? WTH?
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, there's NO WAY that kid is 4 years old.
ReplyDeleteI see that C4P has immediately drawn attention to a Brietbart Op_ed supposedly written by Palin about immigration to attempt to draw the attention to Wife Swap tonight. What a freaking poor excuse of a mother Palin is.
ReplyDeleteI knew it! Was going to post here and ask how long before Sarah would compete with Bristol and Willow tonight, by drawing attention to herself. Well, she never disappoints.
DeleteSticker charts work.
ReplyDeleteMelissa has some parenting skills.
You know I don't think anything proves how poorly the Palin girls were parented like watching them parent Tripp.
ReplyDeleteThey can make up whatever mythology they want, but this addiction to reality TV has undermined every lie that Sarah and Bristol have told for the last five years.
Melissa gets Willow a job doing hair for an ABC anchor and she refuses to even try.
ReplyDeleteHaving a quitter for a mother does not exactly instill a good work ethic.
I think she was afraid to fail. No "get of your butt to earn a buck" for her.
DeleteWillow had not received her license yet and was wise not to do hair until she is licensed, especially on TV.
DeleteAll I could thing about while watching this mess was that Palin called Levi "Ricky Hollywood". Also that Bristol said that Levi would mess up Tripp's life by putting him in the media. Palins are the most hypocritical, dysfunctional family ever.
ReplyDeleteAll 4 women got a nice paycheck and the 2 boys had fun. There was no surprises.
ReplyDeleteGot to say it was funny to see that big old scrappy truck that Bristol supposedly rented - the show really pushed the limits of the hillbilly - does "Rent-a-Wreck" rent out battered-looking vehicles like that, or did they have to get a prop truck?
ReplyDeleteBTW Tripp sleeps in his street clothes? WTF? hillbillies. smh
