Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
How do we know Annie isn’t going with Dote? If Lillia is and Katie would, why wouldn’t Annie? She’s on the same tier as they are. Perhaps even more useful being more “famous”

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
I think if it were a situation where Brat was sending them Annie would have tagged all the people she was going with. Looking at Brat's revenue it seems like they wouldn't be able to afford sending a bunch of kids to one of the bougiest music festivals in the country. Not to mention, there would be all kinds of backlash if Brat endorsed sending tweens to a concert environment riddled with drugs and alcohol.TheLoneStranger wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 11:36 amEmily Skinner has a vlog? She seems to be tied at the hip to Lilia. I assumed Annie is going to hang with Lilia at the festival too. Unless she got jealous and had Mommy get tickets so her new bestie Greg could take her or something? Or maybe Brat is sending a busload of kids?youtube_obsessed843 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 11:20 amThat's true, you do have a point. I think it's going to be very awkward to be the only girl there not holding up a vlog camera. Everyone is going to be occupied and Lilia will be doing...? It'll be interesting to see how she's acting if we get a glimpse of her in the background of any vlogs. I toyed with the idea that maybe Annie is going to be Lilia's "buddy," in a sense, at the concert and is going only because Lilia is. Annie most likely won't be allowed inside the Dote house, but at the Coachella venue I'd imagine Annie would be able to hang with Lilia. Dote did advertise that they have a private photographer with them at the house and at Coachella, so Annie wouldn't be allowed in those pictures, but during other times I don't see why Annie couldn't be around.TheLoneStranger wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 11:10 am1.5 million tween followers is 1.5 million tween followers. Emily Skinner is in the same boat, just a touch more commercially successful. They seem about as useful to Dote as Katie is.....youtube_obsessed843 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 10:50 amSitting here scratching my head wondering WHY IN THE WORLD Lilia Buckingham is on the Dote Coachella trip. What has Lilia done exactly to be deemed a Dote Girl? What remotely remarkable things has she accomplished to even be considered besides her role in that Brat show? I've never actually watched it but I'd imagine it's just as bad as the others. To my knowledge she's never promoted their company on social media. She is quite literally the only girl there that doesn't have a Youtube channel. Part of Dote's marketing strategy is that in exchange for the free trip, the girls will vlog the entire thing and in turn drive traffic to the app. Whether you watch all of the girls or just one in particular, the idea is that a viewer will say "well hey Kalani Hilliker loves Dote and orders from Dote all the time so I should too." Lilia literally can't do that. She doesnt even have a channel. I suppose she could promote via Instagram, but that's not the same thing as a permanent video. I find it truly bizarre and welcome any and all insights lol

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
Annie has a new song out with Indy and a few others. It’s as bad as you think it is. All her songs sound the same. Her music is like driving down a bad suburban neighborhood. Same house different color. Same song different words. I swear they take the same music and just put different lyrics over top.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
I feel like Katie is pretty particular about what brand sponsorships Annie takes on. In general she tends to stick with family friendly products/brands that are typical of their viewers, not things they actually like. She picks and chooses based on what families would like. Retail Me Not, for example, because moms love to save money on kids' clothes, the card game Dos because it encourages family bonding, Audible.com because they want to seem like educating their kids is a priority, even Chrysler because it promotes an SUV used by families. Everything is marketed towards parents. Letting Annie sign on with Dote sends the message that they value shopping and materialism. I know it's like an LOL situation because they are literally the most materialistic, compulsive consumers ever, but to people who truly love them and don't nitpick them like us, it might take Katie's word is holier than thou and they must run and buy the product. Annie wouldn't even get paid to promote the Dote, which I'm sure doesn't work for Katie and Billy.Lisatheacrobat wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 11:37 amHow do we know Annie isn’t going with Dote?

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
Not to mention, Annie being sequestered in a house for 3 days, with a group of strangers, where Mommy isn't allowed to enter.....sounds like her worst nightmare.
Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
Yeah, all of her songs sound too similar. None of her music wows me. It’s all just too generic. Too generic tween music. Honestly I’m sure Annie could sing about a pile of shit over that crap music and the stans would still love itLisatheacrobat wrote:Annie has a new song out with Indy and a few others.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
I think what would kill Annie is that she's going from one extreme to the next. She was always super-sheltered and immature, and now she's being thrown into incredibly mature situations? She has no idea how to handle it.bratguru12 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 7:38 pmShe's obviously much more of a celebrity than Annie is, but I am pretty sure Millie Bobby Brown was at Coachella last year when she was 14 (I think they are the same age). I think the Ziegler sisters go as well (although its often hard to tell from photos if they are at Coachella, or a Coachella themed party.)
(As a side note, the more "gossip" you read about Millie Bobby Brown and her parents, the more it seems like that is another child star disaster waiting to happen)
Side note- I've always speculated that about Millie Bobby Brown. She's obviously a great actress, but something doesn't sit right with me about her. Where did you find out info about her parents?

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
It’s odd too because I think Annie can sing on her own but they jack up the autotune on ALL of her songs. She isn’t the best singer. Certainly not the level of talent that would have Simon Cowell slamming golden buzzers for. She’s no Angelica Hale or Grace VanderWall but she would be decent enough for a spot in the middle school choir. Her voice on it’s own won’t turn heads. Not even 12 year old heads. The only reason she does is because she is Annie LeBlanc and she’s been heavily whored to that demographic and they eat up anything that is spoon fed to them. Talent or not.nsf5555 wrote: ↑Yeah, all of her songs sound too similar. None of her music wows me. It’s all just too generic. Too generic tween music.

Idk why she doesn’t invest in a decent vocal coach and improve and maybe in a year or two she can break away from this image.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
Another random thought as we wait for the vlog....how do sheltered homeschooled kids like Annie learn about sex? Is their an online course they take, or is it simply letting them learn about the importance of protection by contracting HIV or getting pregnant? Paige was 23 and living in a home with aggressive Pro-life activists, and she still ended up a "surprised" single mother. Wasn't Paige homeschooled too?

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
She isn’t THAT sheltered. I mean her father whored her out at 12 in a relationship with a boy she barely knew. I’m sure boys at 16/17 like Asher and Greg know a lot about sex. It’s natural at this age and earlier to begin exploring it on your own. Plus she has no supervision, a phone with full access to internet and a room secluded from the rest of the family. One pornhub search can teach her all she needs to know and shouldn’t know because we all know porn gives sex the wrong image. But I mean there’s a lot to learn from one google search. So she probably isn’t that uninformed on the topic. And I wouldn’t be shocked if she hasn’t explored stuff. Maddie Ziegler admitted she lost her virginity at 15, I am sure she was doing a lot before that.TheLoneStranger wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 2:03 pmAnother random thought as we wait for the vlog....how do sheltered homeschooled kids like Annie learn about sex?

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
I honestly hope that Annie is going to the actual Coachella. Maybe it will teach her a thing or two. Like everyone else has been saying, she has been raised all her life to believe that she is the Kim Kardashian of fourteen-year-olds (I would liken her to Justin Bieber, but at least he obviously had a talent for something, like him or not). People go to Coachella to meet celebrities and to take aesthetic photos. It's become less and less about the music and more and more about being trendy as the years have gone on. Annie would probably like to believe that there are at least some people going there to meet her. Do you think she would know any of the musical performers outside of Ariana Grande? Maybe Blackpink, since they seem to be extremely popular right now? Plus, with how incredibly hot Coachella Valley is, like you all have said, she would be miserable. Being a sober fourteen-year-old surrounded by drunk, high adults can't be a good time. I've never been to Coachella, but I can just imagine it. I can also imagine Annie in the middle of that pretending to have a good time but whining nonstop about how hot she is, how thirsty she is, how bored she is. I can bet she will be calling Mommy for a ride home real quick. At least if she does go, maybe it will allow her to see that she isn't as famous as she seems to think she is.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
She thought a 12 year old boy should should be in a committed relationship.... she is sheltered....and delusional. She isn't an idiot though, I assume she knows the plug fits in the socket, I just doubt she understands the risks. Somehow, I also don't think Greg is educating Annie on the dangers of STDs, date rape drugs, or discussing contraception plans with her. Giving a sheltered middle school child adult freedoms, without an appropriate education or maturity to match, seems like a recipe for disaster.Lisatheacrobat wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 2:42 pmShe isn’t THAT sheltered.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
So have we decided that she is going as a regular attendee and not for a sponsored party? My guess is she is going with Greg... who would be into the music there. How have stans not gonna after him for stealing Asher’s girl? Or can Annie do whatever she wants but Asher can’t breathe next to another girl?

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
I definitely agree that her lack of maturity and education in life and the topic specifically is a recipe for disaster and now that Anthem is here, Annie who has always jonesed to be like her, she would think being a single mom with a little girl is sooo cute. I see Annie’s life crashing.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
I honestly can't bring myself to watch this vlog. Even the thumbnail is getting on my nerves with Annie holding the baby and crying it's just annoying me.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
It's bad....it's really bad. Annie sobs as if she has just given birth while shaking the newborn aggressively. Hayley is going to Coachella too. Annie appears to intentionally get "drunk" on Listerine like a desperate alcoholic. Hayley goes to the mall in nothing but a t-shirt in the cold with two (hopefully) allergy shiners. There appears to be a clear custody arrangement now......too much to dissect!

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
Skimmed through it and it was more unbearable than last week's vlog. Seriously, Annie is acting like a baby, holding a baby! Not much new though, didn't see Billy this vlog, Hayley closed out, which was kind of nice... but nothing new to go on about.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
This one fan is saying 'oh Hayleys going to Coachella which means Katie has to aswell' as if Katie would let Annie go by herself I honestly think THERE delusional. I don't know much about babies but is it normal for a second cousin to cry holding the baby and shaking it. Hayley seemed much more calm but Annie couldn't let Hayley have her moment either. As soon as Hayley got a chance Annie came in shot ugh. Of course no big deal was made out of Hayley having alergys and was still taken to set whereas if it had been Annie it would have been a whole different story. Happy to know Hayleys getting another season of Mani though.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
I don’t think it’s common for a second cousin to care that much. But Annie views Paige like an older sister and she is naturally a cry baby on top of it. She gets emotional over EVERYTHING. But if her life really is in shambles like we speculate, then it makes sense.

Re: Bratayley- When Tofu Jumps the Shark Part 15
I am not surprised that Annie cares that much, to tell you the truth. My cousins between them have three children who are my second cousins, but in my family, second cousins are often called nieces and nephews, especially since my brother and I are so much older than their sons, and we love them just as much as if they were actually our nephews. I cried that much meeting my nephew for the first time and I will probably do so when I meet the newest nephew this summer. It's normal in my family, at least.Lisatheacrobat wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 5:12 pmI don’t think it’s common for a second cousin to care that much.
