Blair Warner Will Make Her Triumphant Return To TV In Survivor: Philippines
If you just said out loud, "Who is Blair Warner", then please quit the fifth grade immediately (because the only reasonable explanation for not knowing who Blair Warner is that you're like 10 years old) and educate yourself on the history of Blair Warner by watching reruns of The Facts of Life on The Hub all day. It is the only education you need.
Blair Warner was always my favorite Facts of Life trick, because she was a snobby rich bitch who was the OG (Original GOOP) and probably lezzed out with Jo from time to time. Lisa Whelchel, who played Blair for the entire run, pretty much quit Hollywood after The Facts of Life ended and became a stay-at-home mom and good Christian wife. When Lisa isn't homeschooling her kids or spreading the word of the lord on her website, she's writing parenting books and one of the parenting books she wrote a few years ago got a lot of hate. Hating bitches called it Mommie Dearest II and said that the forms of punishment Lisa uses on her kids are like air kisses to Child Protective Services. Here's a piece from my favorite customer review from Barnes & Noble:
In the Whelchel household, big people can hit little people (although Whelchel insists on using the euphemism 'spanking' rather than admitting the plain fact that she does indeed physically hit her children). She even forces her children to recite little rote memorized prayers thanking God for blessing them a Mommy who spanks. (p. 265) But one gets the distinct impression that in the Whelchel household, spankings are designed to meet Mommy's needs and serve Mommy's convenience, not the child's a good example on page 287 has Whelchel's daughter coming downstairs after her bedtime to complain of pains in her legs. But Lisa Whelchel's immediate response is simply to threaten her with a spanking for being out of bed. But while big people can hit little people, little people, despite the violent behavior modeled to them by their elders, may not hit each other. When they do, Whelchel recommends forcing the hitter to wear boxing gloves the entire day without taking them off. When the child has difficulty performing routine tasks such as brushing teeth or eating, Whelchel exhorts her readers to further humiliate the child by making a home video of the spectacle.
That's our Blair Warner! And now Blair Warner will be finding ways to restrain herself from using her spanking hand on all the overgrown brats on Survivor: Philippines. CBS announced the full cast today and it includes Blair, former Dodger Jeff Kent, a sex therapist and a lesbian from Arkansas.
This is going to be a mess and I really hope that at one point, Lisa entertains her tribe mates by giving them an acoustic beach version of her hit song Good Girl:
• 
Is it a prerequisite in casting each season of "Survivor" that they include a black guy with huge pecs ? And, if so, can that be a prerequisite on every reality show ? thank u.
I havent watched Survivor since Jerri Manthey, but Jeff Kent is more interesting to me than Lisa. He is infamous for not getting along with Barry Bonds, and saying he broke his wrist while washing his truck, when it was really a motorcycle accident. Known as being a difficult teammate, I am curious whether he can get along with anybody.
I used to like Blair the best too. Now, ugh not so much!

I don't have any experience as a parent yet in this domain, rather as a child of a parent who did hit and beat every day and I can say that when this happens the child does not even understand what the punishment is for and it just leaves a very frightened child. There aren't any lessons learned - only to be scared of everything they do or don't do. I think that it's very hard for parents to find a happy medium with discipline but I believe that physical punishment is wrong. Children, like adults, have a basic right to be safe. I know that I would probably be a real softy and let them push the boundaries a little too far - I realize the results of this aren't ideal as well.
Thanks for posting that mharker - some of it seems quite cruel! : (
First: I hate when people use the Bible or their Christianity to justify certain actions. I am a Christian and I understand when it says 'If you love your children, then you will discipline them.' Meaning, if you love your children, you will take the time to teach them how to behave and if they act up, you will correct their behavior. This means getting off your ass.
No, it is not hard to raise children. If you have them, take care of them. My SIL has 6 kids and every single one of them have bad mouths, run around ragged and dirty, two of them don't even speak properly because their mother doesn't care to take the time to teach them how to talk and clean them up. when they come to my house, they go straight to the bath, i wash their clothes make them sit at the table to eat and put them to bed at a decent time. And they love me because those simple things show that someone cares about them. And they listen to me. I myself have spanked my own children only when they absolutely needed it (in dangerous situations like running out in the street) but now they are so well behaved I havent had to do that in a long time. All I have to do is give them a look and they jump, lol! When I see tweens running around in whore clothes, makeup and bad attitudes, that just tells me that their parents have let them rule the roost and either dont know how to get them under control or dont care to. And its sad.
Albatross..a baby is only an embryo up to the eighth week, after that it is a fetus. To all: abortion in medical description is to terminate(KILL) a fetus(BABY). I am neither pro life, nor pro abortion, as I know from experience that sometimes unfortunate events can happen(I'm against women using it as a regular form of birth control though) A woman has the right to kill her fetus just like Lilo and hotmess Bynes have a right to make a personal choice to drive intoxicated and endanger lives. Yes we have choices but they're not always the best choice, they might hurt people along the way, and it may be illegal sometimes so just a little eye opener..if you're going to be pro choice, be pro *choice*, you'll scream at the top of your lungs that women should be able to abort their little hearts out... but side-eye a starlet's choice to be a drunk mess or a home wrecker.
more on topic- again with the extremist..::eyeroll::..just like breast feeding, births w/o drugs, home births, moms need to shove their "I did it, so should you..what worked for me, will work for you" bull.. Time outs don't register for some kids..they'll say well if I do this I'll get that taken away, or no TV for X amount of time..okay I can live with that or I'll just figure something else out to entertain me. Individuals(key word) need different things..part of life and parenthood is figuring that out.

MK didn't showcase some of the more interesting punishments. Here's what I found in another review:
--blindfolding children for an hour if they roll their eyes
--handcuffing quarreling siblings together ("It's really fun to watch them try to eat dinner like this, or read a book, or take the garbage out, tasks I'll often assign them.")
--burning a few of the child's toys if a child is caught playing with matches (what about putting the matches out of reach or doing some standard fire-safety education?)
--pinching a child's tongue with a clothespin for disrespect
--pouring hot sauce on a child's tongue
--saying "no to reasonable requests such as 'may I go to the bathroom'" in the name of keeping change your strategy-- don't restrain them!)
--making children stand in the center of the room for a long period of time if they are resisting bedtime ("make it tough" she says)
I'm ambivalent about spanking. My parents believed in it, but I definitely wasn't spanked on more than 5 occasions. I mainly just saw it happen to my older sister and learned from that.
***********************************
Silly rabbit.
My parents probably hit us less then a hand full of times & when they did it was probably well deserved.Usually it only took a look from our father & we knew we better simmer.I worked in daycare years ago which was a real eye opener for me it taught me everything NOT to do as a parent.Today parents kiss their kids asses & it just shouldn't work that way.These kids would throw insane tantrums because they didn't want to leave daycare(sad)& the parents would sit there negotiating with them.In my fathers own words this is a dictatorship not a democracy.Kids need to know who the parent is!

As long is we're going there, someone (ahem, Poopy) want to explain how they are soooo concerned about saving the life of a fetus yet once that child is born they don't give a hell what happens to it???

It's funny how the same people that would chop them up into little people pieces and throw them in the little people trash while they are little people in the womb have a problem with giving them a smack and tell them to behave during their early post-fetal stage of development.

You can't be pregnant. That rape was legitimate.
I don't see anything wrong spanking a kid. Some kids are just bad as fuck, and just need a beat down...Example: those human pieces of shit harassing that lady on the bus. However, there is a difference between a spanking and abuse.
All my grandma had to do was give me a look and I stfu! She has green eyes, and when those eyes were pissed they may as well have been pitch black or red. Bitch was SCURRY

I am in no way agreeing with what crazy Blair Warner calls proper parenting, but I am not against spanking a child who is out of order. There is a difference between a swift and effective spanking, and a straight up beating.

They are making this tired show even worst. Ghaawd. My partner always tried to rope me into watching this show with him. Sucks slippery balls.
I don't have kids and the only time I care about kids is when they act up and ruin my quiet...
My burning question is why Jo is not a contestant on this show...she would give Blair a run for her money...
And I now at the point when I hear bible, Christian and type of religion that I shut down...don't want to hear it and don't care...

Shiitake happens...
This spanking debate always gets me worked up - hitting your kid is just f'd up. It doesn't make kids better people, it makes them angry, insecure, causes the brain learning centers to shut down - on the one hand we overwhelm kids with all these "I'm #1 it is all about me bullshit messages" and then smack them around when they act on that shit.
I have three kids - don't spank them and they seldom pull crap. I use the count to three method. I never get to 3 - not sure what they think will happen if I get to three and I'm not sure either, but when the counting starts they know mom means business and they straighten up real quick.
Why a customer review and not a direct excerpt from the book? I'll withhold judgement in case said reviewer has an axe to grind. And there is a big difference between a tap on the ass and a beat down.
I hope that one of the cast members sneaked a bottle of hot sauce onto the Survivor campsite and told Lisa, "If you fuck with me, bitch, I'm gonna do to you, what you've been doing with your kids." People like Lisa Whelchel give parents and Christians a bad name, IMHO.
As an adult, I'll admit to enjoying a good spanking now and again. ;-)
This horseshit of "chirruns MUST mind, NO MATTER WHAT" nonsense drives me insane. I knew a woman who had horribly vivid memories of suffering an appendix attack at age 8 because her parents would beat the crap out of her if she came out of her room after bedtime. She laid down on the floor of her bedroom and very quietly bore the pain of the attack all night. Fortunately for her, she passed out through a fair amount of it.
Fucking common sense should override one's Parenting Laws. And don't even get me started on the Biblical bullshit....
Google The Pearls or the Remnant Fellowship for some fucked-up child "training" nonsense, all sanctified in the name of The Bible.

Good luck with the kiddles off to school though M.E! Hope they have a good year!
I wonder if she felt like a frumpy haus frau with those svelte people all around her in this photo? I had no idea she was "a TV star" though. I thought the "Aaron" dude was a woman & I wonder what Lisa thought of the scissor sister.
What's more sad than the fact that 10,000 animals got euthanized today? The fact that because of the ignorance of humans, it will happen again tomorrow. End the cycle. Spay and neuter your pets & please adopt your next pet from a shelter.
That's 45 seconds I'll never get back, listening to her talk "Good Girl." I never knew she released a record back in the day. How awful.

"Somebody here was talking about how kids are different and some need spankings. IDK."
Crazy, I am with you. I don't think there's a kid on the planet who needs a spanking. I know it happens and I know it's not necessarily the end of the world, but I actually think it's a lot more difficult and time-consuming to deal in a humane, adult way with a child than it is to hit them.
As to spoiled and entitled kids, the child poverty rate in the U.S. these days is around 20-25%. If anything, we treat our kids like crap.

I really like Survivor and I am SO glad Colton from last season will not be on. He'll probably show up next season.
I love Survivor even more now that I have a DVR because it takes me about 30 minutes to watch it without all the recaps and commercials. I usually speed through the challenges too.
Just one more thing:
Parents have to take their own needs into account when building the family structure. If they neglect themselves, they can run out of energy/become overwhelmed and that increases the likelihood of abuse, too.
It is NOT selfish for a parent to get their own needs met too, only becomes selfish when parent consistently does so at the child's expense.
This is not a defense of Whelchel, whose tactics I don't like.

Is it really *that* difficult to raise kids?
---------------------
Not really... common sense is a lot of it. As far as spanking... My daughter has a friend that her parents do not believe in spanking, only time out and shit like that and she is a fucking hellion... Then again, I spanked my kid and she is still hell on wheels. I have a friend who is totally laid back with her kid - would let her do anything she wants, no curfew, never asks if she has homework, etc... and her kid is a MODEL kid. Straight A's, follows/obeys every rule to. a. tee. and never uses profanity... just a good person, and has never really had parental guidance... *shrugs*

Sorry, Jack, did you say something about spanking?
*has TEH SELECTIVE HEARING*
When it comes to raising kids 1st and most important thing to realize. You are raising and teaching life skills to a complete individual. It's not a mini-you or a pet cat. Raising means providing an enviroment where this little person can grow and learn how to be an indivudual while recieving unconditional love with guidence on how to be a decent human being. If on the road a spank is called for, sure, I get it but you can't just NOT set down any rules.
Too many self entitled little assholes running around these days who think that whatever it is, they DESERVE it, instead of workng hard and EARNING it.

I don't any fucks to give about reality TV, so I'll just comment on the book review comment:
"Big people" and "little people"? Could that reviewer be any more patronizing? Why not just call them children and adults?
Whelchel shouldn't hit or humiliate her kids. But the language used in that review makes me think we're listening to one of those "progressive parenting" assholes who think that restraining their child's behavior in any way is OMG OPPRESSION, and that their little mini-me must be allowed to do whatever he/she wants, no matter how annoying, disruptive or destructive it might me. And the rest of the world are supposed to grin and bear it, or we're called child haters.
Children aren't born knowing how to behave, or get along with other people. I'll bet the laissez-faire parents started out trying to bargain or negotiate everything with their kids, got tired, and just said the hell with it, let 'em do whatever they want. They spend more energy trying to get other adults to accept their children's rude behavior than actually dealing with the child.
The happiest kids I have ever known had strict parents. Strict /= abusive. Firm boundaries and consistent enforcement thereof actually prevent things from getting overwhelming for a parent, which is the chief reason parents end up doing abusive things. Firm, consistent, fair parents had the best-adjusted kids.

Kids SHOULD be thrashed every single day to keep them in line. One day they will thank their parents......OR slit their throats when asleep...one of the two.
Somebody here was talking about how kids are different and some need spankings. IDK. My nephew, whom I've practically raised while my sister is out being a party animal or just potatoing on the sofa, is a really sweet kid and I would never dream of hurting him physically. When he misbehaves, all I have to do is be disappointed and he just loses it. Poor thing wants approval so much he cries if he doesn't do right. He's always been that way; he's seven now. But maybe he's unusual?
What I see around my parts is a total LACK of parenting. People raising their kids without any dicipline or set of rules, whatever Bobby wants, Bobby gets. Parents more concerned with being friends with their child, scared of their child ever "not liking" them, rather then deal with the fact that if you are rasing your kids with bounderies and dicipline, there are going to be a few years of "I hate my parents". It happens to all of us.
