No.  I meant the blonde Froggy.   His face with those glasses and slicked hair reminds me of him.

Otay!

Put a tall spike of hair on the top of his head and he’s Alfalfa. Especially with the glasses. 

I’ll  be looking for bubbles to come out his mouth next time we see him rapping.

Perfect for sharing or selling by the side of the road?

[magemaud]

"Dean, will you accept this rose..." 

[Kareem]

Wait. So the company sent roses to Chantel and she sat on a rock, and sent them to Brazil and she took her off pants and posed on the stairs?  Funny.  

[ALittleShelfish]

She can take over as the West Paces Ferry Flower Guy in Atlanta.  

(For those not from ATL, there was a dude at an exit off of I75 in ATL, Northside/West Paces Ferry, I think, where a dude sold flowers every single day for probably 20 years.  It was a big damn deal when he passed away, too. I haven't been back to that part of Atlanta since he passed, but I do wonder if anyone has taken over his gig.)

Pedro was taking English classes and graduated at level one in July.  So good for him for wanting to improve his English.

[iwasish]

So now Mother Chantel and Chantel are investigating Winters BF? 

Chantel is a replica of her mother and I ‘ll bet her ass will be as big as mommy’s in 20 yrs. 

[Mu Shu]

Is that even chantels real mother? They all seem like bottom of the barrel actors to me.

I think they actually look a lot alike. Their faces are the same shape.

[doyouevengohere]

I think the mother and chantel look alike, but Winter looks like none of them.  I guess slightly like Thomas, but if you told me winter was adopted, I'd believe it.

[DNR]

Chantel seems to have lovely skin  ( masterful makeup?) > my nice comment of the day

And the asses. Chantel will be her mother’s doppelgänger in 20 yes. She’s already got the same personality.  

[Crisinbama]

Is Pedro’s sister really that terrible of a person or is all of this producer driven?  I mean, she is so over the top it makes me think it is fake!

[Christina]

This is supposedly Chantel. There is another photo of her with Pedro, I guess, but it wasn't posted. She is also rumored to be pregnant, which could change her facial features, but it's too hard to believe this is her. If it hadn't been posted identifying her I would not have guessed who it is, but since I know, I can see it in the eyes.

[Joan of Argh]

I can't figure out what's different but wow... I never would have recognized her if I didn't know.

Like you said it's her eyes but they're looking out of a different face.  👹

[Christina]

My invitation must have been lost in the mail.

Congrats, Chantel. Seriously, even though I didn't get an invite, way to go! Not just bailing on school to be a reality tv star. 

[Drogo]

This is very fucking distracting, NFL. 

[Christina]

There's some drama going on with this post, but near as I can tell, it's just that people don't think it is actually Chantel.

The 2nd season of The Family Chantel premieres on Monday, October 12 at 10pm ET/PT.  This article seems to lay out the very familiar plotlines for the entire season.

Is there really no separate thread for this show?  I’ve searched and found nothing.

It’s a spin-off so in that area.

 

[sainte-chapelle]

Chantel and Pedro have been married for 4 years, the man worked two jobs while she was in school. They obviously must love each other, both families need to stay out of it.

I'm tempted to watch tonight's episode, just to watch the driving lesson.   The instructor looks like a very patient person, but I don't think she's going to be successful in this case.

So Winter has always had a weight problem....

[sainte-chapelle]

Wow...give Chantel a few years and a few more bottles of Chardonnay and she will look exactly like momma!

[Christina]

I only watched the first three minutes so I don't know if there is more later into the video, and started it from the beginning because it makes a great sudden change.

This is a therapist who watches episodes and comments on them as he watches. While discussing Nicole and Azan, a clip of the fight of the century showed up, and his facial expressions are great. It was talked about so much that I had to find it.

 

[mamadrama]

I can't find a single likable person in this entire spin-off. Is there someone we're meant to be rooting for?

I guess we could be rooting for those of us watching this creepy crap because there is nothing else to watch, nothing to do, we crave something to get our minds off of reality, and in a weird way, TLC, for doing the heavy lifting finding these creatures we would never hang out with in real life.

Regarding likable, nah, maybe a likable moment but as portrayed, nada.

[Christina]

Royal had a Model Mayhem account back when he was in the Army, and the photos can be seen here

https://www.instagram.com/p/CIG1I7rHqMz/

For those unaware, there were some real models on that site, but for the most part, it was people who were willing to pose in exchange for the photos to post on their social media and use to try and get contracts with real agencies, and to call themselves models. Make-up artists and photographers also had services there, either for trade or money. 

[1011101010001]

Well he looked much better before he gained all that weight.

[greekmom]

Wonder if the prenuptial he signed will hold up in court.

Au contraire, they can do a lot of other types of shows such as the Chantal, The Dating Game or Mother Chantal Finds a Man f(or Chantal), Winter Gets Hot which of course would be a dating competition between her and Chantal.  There are so many ways The Family Chantal can survive on TLC.

I was more shocked that they had $275K than by the divorce filing.

Yeah, I have a tendency to hope for the best while preparing for the worst, but you’re right. Still so many TLC dollars to harvest and so little time.

Pedro posting some thirst traps now that he is on the market.

Pedro got that green card and ready to mingle.

I was trying to figure out how they had that much too. The show only pays so much and since her parents, his family and her sister all have roles, the money is spilt. Reality shows usually pay cast 10% of the cost so that 10% is spilit (maybe not evenly) by the cast.  My guess would have been they got between 80-120k for this season for Chantel and Pedro.  It is just weird they lived for years in the small apartment and suddenly in less then a year from her gradauting they have a new house and 275k in the bank? 

Pedro might have some claim to a good chunk of money since he worked when she went to school.  I worked when my ex was in med school and I could have gotten a good amount but I had a good degree and just wanted a stress free break.

It seems like if the spouse made it easier or even possible for the other to attend professional school they should get a cut of the future value of the degree.

That is what was the norm in the state I divorced in or a lump sum (I knew a wife of a doctor that worked while he was in med school and residency and divorced later once he was successful and just took a lump sum). I think alimony or monthly support is getting less common so I bet Pedro could get a good deal of that 275k for working those years. There also is video from the show of him saying, I am working now so that once you work I can go to school so maybe she will have to pay for him to get a degree as an exhange. Every state is so different so who knows but for some reason I feel it will get messy and public

[sainte-chapelle]

I was rooting for them at one point but they were always doomed. Chantel’s family was awful to Pedro and his family was equally as awful. Chantel is becoming more like her mother and Pedro completely checked out and stopped trying. I am just glad they don’t have children.
