I don’t think it’s appropriate to go into great detail about other people’s lifestyles just because NO ONE is perfect. I was raised to mind my own but anywho my biggest question is…Are the twins Mexican or Puerto Rican? I heard them mention going to Puerto Rico once. I appreciate their culture and background. I think it helps shape the person you grow into in a loving way.
I believe that they are Mexican simply for the fact that it has been hinted at and mentioned briefly throughout the seasons. When it was around the time of Amanda’s and Andrea’s double wedding, they were mentioning ideas on what theme they would want. My memory might be hazy but they mentioned having something similar to a traditional Mexican wedding. In Season 6 (can’t remember which episode) during one of the Ted Talks at the end of each episode, Amanda mentioned a reference to the wedding and the traditional Mexican theme.
Hope this helps!
Both twins are slightly on the dumb side and maybe instead of being on a reality show should go back to school. They are both spoiled, get attitudes for the smallest of reasons divas. Everything is about them. If it’s not about them they don’t know how to act. I hate the way they talk to Ms. Juicy. So disrespectful. It’s so uncalled for. I mean who do they think they are. When Ms. Juicy pops one of them in the mouth they shouldn’t wonder why. They may be fan favorites and I guess that’s gone to their heads.
How did they handle the death of Mini?
The twins and cheeks disgusted me. I watched an episode of “little woman of…..” out of curiosity and, quickly, recognized the repetitive storyline. It seemed to me the director/s encouraged as much dysfunction as possible. I wonder, “did the dwarfs keep having babies for the show?” and “Why would they hope the babies were dwarfs?” After all, dwarfism comes with a myriad of health problems, whereas a normal-sized baby doesn’t, necessarily.
All of the characters behaved deplorably and stayed true to form with the “we have to have a talk..” about every tantrum, narrative. The show was redundant and repulsive. I imagine that normal, everyday dwarfs took umbrage at their horrible depiction of the Little People community. Monie was an exception to the others, in my opinion, as she was the most together and endearing character in the show. I was disappointed she was written off and 2 different characters were added (again with the getting pregnant by different baby daddies theme and a nosy body instigator) = REDUNDANT
I feel so sorry for the dwarf babies here to suffer and the babies with different fathers caught up in their parents’ selfish needs for attention.
