Great episode this week. I was reading a whole lot of blogs and forums from ex-Scientologists and came upon a funny video called Miscavige's Last Stand. There's quite a few videos of this nature, but I found this one to be the best. Hope you guys enjoy.

No, Nisa (the blonde, huge sunglasses) was the dancing coach that worked for Amanda. Amanda was the brunette woman sitting next to her in all of the interviews, and the woman who shed those big crocodile tears on stage when her daughter won the pageant. Nisa is apparently rather tame compared to Amanda.

Tell me about it, I don't understand how these middle-class families can spend thousands a month on this hobby. Yes, some of these people are well off and have lots of disposable income, but I'm interested in the impact it has on these parents, as well as their coping mechanisms. I'd love to know the background of these child pageant directors, coaches, & photographers.

Amanda's (director/coach at Top Models) story keeps getting stranger. This is probably one of the reasons she skipped the final pageant on T&T. Amanda hooked up with her husband Troy when he was in a relationship with another man (Michael B.). She was in her teens at the time. Michael B. is the owner of the International Fresh Faces pageant. He was featured on Toddlers and Tiaras, the episode where his partner supposedly yelled at a woman and her daughter for grabbing the wrong toy from a table. Michael lived with Troy (Amanda's husband) and helped him raise his first daughter (Hannah). Michael is currently trying to get some kind visitation rights with Hannah’s daughter (who he considers his grandchild). Hannah (Hannah winning 10,000 CASH! ) - multiple mugshots on a google search. Arrested for heroin possession while she was pregnant with her second child in March Arrested in May for felony non-support I'm curious if TLC did any kind of background check before featuring Amanda. Sheesh, what a mess.

I got bored and read through those pageant forums. There were a whole lot of catty remarks about Jamie and Cambrie and pageant contestants. It was back and forth, and there was nothing memorable about it. However, there was a lot of juicy accusations against Amanda (Top Models coach/owner). Everyone really hates Amanda and her husband Troy (glitz photographer/pageant director). Amanda Top Models has a horrible reputation in the pageant world. She has very few clients. They tend to take deposits and run off without providing services. Amanda has a criminal history - cheque fraud Bankruptcy, eviction, etc... They don't pay their bills. Blacklisted from a number of pageants. Amanda and her husband got Alisha Dunlaps (main lady from that show Cheer Perfection) mother to cosign a loan on their home and then they defaulted and ruined her credit. Troy (Amanda's husband) A drug addict (pain medication) Criminal history - animal abuse, drugs, car theft Breeds dogs and sells puppies (despite having a history of animal abuse) Pathological liar Troy borrowed a car from Nisa and her husband after filming Toddlers and Tiaras. He then disappeared and drove to Texas on a drug bender. They reported the car stolen and it was returned. For some reason, Nisa has forgiven them. She's responded to criticism on the pageant forums but refuses to answer any questions related to the car. He's older than Amanda and got married to her when she was a teen competing in pageants. No job besides his pageant duties. So he spends his free time on forums bad mouthing former Top Model coaches and clients. He was caught photoshopping his daughter's face onto other girls pageant photos. Out of laziness? T&T trivia - Troy's 1st daughter (Amanda's stepdaughter) was the 20-year-old blond girl that won 10k at Mrs. Annette's pageant years back. I think it was when Mackenzie and Eden competed against each other. She has her own drug problems Lost custody of 1st child Recently gave birth, and may lose custody of that child too. Oh and Nisa served as a judge at Mrs. Annette's recent pageant.
