House of Carters

[polygal]

Oh Sweet Jesus, Nick really is the sane Carter. That seems so wrong.

I am not ashamed that the dormant 12-year old in me squealed during the BSB 'reunion,' even though Brian is apparantly too cool to sign the release.

[highondegrassi2]

Judging from what was shown of BJ and her boyfriend it looks like she is destined to be the abused girlfriend/wife, if not by this guy then by the next. They both obviously loved the drama of overstating feelings and just wallowing in misery. Plus she's become accustomed to depending on others rather than take care of herself. Looks like nobody is really trying to help her avoid the trainwreck that is her life.

Why isn't the likelihood of Aaron's drug use not addressed? Are all of Nick's siblings so nutty that he can't recognize the difference between acting stupid and acting like a drug addict?

[emersende]

After looking around on youtube.com for a little while, I found a video of Aaron's siblings talking about him. I'll link here and then transcribe below:

Nick: Aaron's weird. He makes up weird words . . .
BJ: Aaron has this horrible thing that he does with the popcorn, he'll pop, like, a bag of popcorn and pour the popcorn out- he doesn't even care about the popcorn . . . and he rips the bags in very, very straight pieces- and just, (slurp noises) licks the bags, puts it down . . . or then he'll stuff it in the couch.
Leslie: Aaron, he doesn't really mess with anybody, he's like happy all the time. He's a happy little guy.

So . . . go figure, I guess.

Ok, seriously. I'm not usually a violent person, but is there anyone here that wouldn't kick the holy hell out of Aaron? Anyone...? He bitches and bitches about Nick not treating him like a grown up, but then he throws that pissy ass bitch fit at the meeting with Nick's manager (or whoever that was, I wasn't paying attention - haha) and every other situation that CALLS for him to act like an adult. Good gravy, that kid needs a good smack to the head.

I can never keep the blonde sisters straight. They're both trashtastic. I mean, I can tell them apart when I see them, because one's extensions are completely worse than the other one's, but I can't keep track of who is who until they do something (i.e. - smoking, working in the bar, or just sitting there). What a mess.

This show is so horribly trashy (I watch Flavor of Love so I should know) and it looks like a cheap attempt at getting Aaron's singing career back. I watched 10 minutes of this, and could already tell Aaron is a little punk, who needs to be bitchslapped repeatedly.

I thought the producer (I think that's what he was) deserves props for telling Aaron straight up that he doesn't have the drive to start his own label and all that that implies. I realize that when Nick tries to reason with him, it goes in one ear and out the other (not meeting much obstruction along the way, either), but he needs to listen to someone and realize that, at this point in his career, it's crucial that he should act professionally. Which includes showing up on time. News flash, "AJ": you're not at a level where you can be late and it's okay because nothing gets started without you.

And he said "disagreeance". Argh.

I'm watching this for the first time. Aaron is a dick, for real. And why is he so whiny? And lastly, with their loot, they couldn't find a dermatologist for the tyke? I'm sorry, all their drama seems so manufactured, like a bad spanish soap opera, but in English.

[envelopeofdoom]

I used to think the drama was manufactured and everything was for the cameras, but after a while it looked to me like that's the only way they know how to live. I don't think those kids have ever been in a calm, healthy environment since their parents were constantly fighting each other and using their kids to become rich.

This show depresses me beyond belief. Poor, poor Nick. I never thought much of him one way or the other, but after watching this show I think he turned out remarkably well, judging by what sort of family he was coming from. Aaron and his sisters are truly disgusting.

[bklynred]

envelopeofdoom, I kinda agree after watching a few more eps. I still maintain Aaron's particular brand of drama was made up for the cameras, but the rest of them, particularly the alcoholic--those kids definitely had some legitimate issues, anger issues and otherwise. And for real, Nick seems so well adjusted in comparison.
