It’s R Life - Part 2: Buying, Lying, and Rudely Replying

[AlohaPineapple]

Kendal thinks they will automatically be a top tier gym just for slapping on the title of cheer extreme. They have a ton of work to do to reach that level and her comparing Evie’s team to C4 is just so bleh. They did mention they would bring in new staff and choreographers so perhaps they could get better and win some comps but it’s not magic, it still takes tons of time getting used to new coaches and completely new choreography. Very excited to see what this next cheer season bring for the gym and the drama.

A couple more reaction on twitter:

“I would tell people from FC to run from CEA. My daughter was at a small gym that merged with CEA. Worst experience ever.”

“Same owner, same coaches, same scandals, same garbage. Nothing changed. Congratulations Cheer Extreme”

“No, definitely not a coach in any capacity. Just an observant cheer mom. Anyone who has been in the cheer community (in Florida) for more than 5 minutes knows the debauchery that takes place in that gym.”

That's what I got from the way Kenny spoke about the merge.. that all of a sudden, they are gonna be the absolute best, taking home firsts in everything. Boy is she gonna be surprised when that doesn't happen. It takes a lot of hard work on everyone's parts.. not just a big name change. smh.

Am I the only one, who thought that most of those young girls were dressed WAY TOO inappropriately, for their ages?? Who makes these dresses nowadays? sheesh! I would NOT let my kid wear something like that, out of the house! Those were like, cocktail dresses.. for women.. not young girls! Someone else mentioned about the Rich's girls dresses.. but, wow... most of those girls were dressed way too "adult" IMO.

I totally agree about the gym! I won’t elaborate further as I already did on another post

YES! Kids these days dress like they’re 20 year olds not the 12 year olds they are. I don’t understand. Some outfits that I see young teens wearing, I wouldn’t even wear that now as an adult! The dress code may have been cocktail but they aren’t meaning for the kids to wear actual cocktail dresses… idk man, when I was 12, I was wearing like tacky kids clothes not crop tops and booty shorts and skin tight dresses that barely cover your bum.

[Glass Half Full]

Just thought I’d repeat everything the rest of you have been saying. I liked Kapri’s dress. I thought that was cute. And not inappropriate. I did not like Brinley’s dress. It was definitely a cocktail dress for a woman. For the most part I did not like the dresses at the party…far too adult for young girls.

Kendal cannot dance

Omg…did you see the mess of her dresser in the bathroom. What a lazy slob. And we all know how dirty the surface must be underneath with all those lotions and potions sitting on it. She lounges in bed all day but obviously never gets up to clean and tidy.

What happens if more than one cheer extreme gym attends the same competition…so for example, S4 from cheer extreme Raleigh and SMOCO from cheer extreme Florida. Will they ever compete against each other? Because that could be embarrassing for the Florida gym.

Organizational change is hard. I think if you have ever had a management change at work or been through a merger you know that half to two-thirds of those families will probably leave the gym within the next few months. When does the next season start?

[Kitkat1023]

Season starts now. They announced team names so I guess they are keeping them. Practice is usually 2 nights a week in summer and 3 nights a week starting in September. Showcases are in October/November and comps start in November/December I think?

That’s how I remember our non-worlds team schedule.

I wondered that too. I have never seen a gym compete against itself.

Indeed, they will compete against each other when at the same competitions. And C4 will blow SMOCO out of the water ever single time. Even though they’re both Cheer Extreme, they’re still considered different gyms. You can think of it kinda like a retail chain; the original/main location is the Kernersville NC location and then there’s almost a dozen other Cheer Extremes but they’re just offshoots of the original location. They’re owned by the same people and it basically stops there. CEA in NC ≠ CEA Florida

Offtopic: At Worlds this year, Flyers Allstarz, a gym from Quebec, Canada, entered two teams (from the same location) in the L7 International Open All Girl Non-Tumbling (wow that’s a mouth full) and they ended up taking home gold and silver in that division which is a super rare occurrence to have two teams from the same gym globe in the same division

In her own indirect way Kendal is trying to say that the shootings in Texas have nothing to do with gun laws. Maybe she’s right, maybe she’s not. I’m not getting political. She says it has to do with a culture glorifying evil. Youth culture is the same the world over. Kids all over the world have access to the same social media and the same trends. Never before has youth culture been so similar regardless of geographical location. But these school shootings don’t happen all over the world. In fact, in Switzerland (where I live) there are around 2 million privately owned guns in a population of 8.5 million. We have the same youth culture and a higher percentage of gun ownership than the US. But yet, we don’t have crazy mass shootings in schools. In fact our schools don’t even have gates. They are completely open to the public at any time of the day. What is the difference between the US and Switzerland if it’s not gun laws? I am still horrified by these mass shootings at schools in the US but at the same time, not surprised. Why, in the US, do these mass shootings happen in schools but not in other countries?

Hey all- I’ve been busy with family so haven’t been able to post. However- after the horrific events of yesterday and Kenny’s subsequent Instagram stories defending gun rights and also blaming our “hedonistic” society, social media, our culture and everything under the sun except the actual issue - I have to take a break. Kendal is so oblivious to her own messed up ways that the “culture” and the “social media” she blames for society being the way it is is the same culture and social media she consumes and is OBSESSED with. The same culture and social media she subjects her CHILDREN to. HER children, some of whom are the same age as the children who were tragically taken away from their own moms. We always knew Kendal was disgusting but this takes it to an unfathomable level and I need to forget people like her exist in this world

This was such a tragic event and of course gun-toting republicans are going to say it’s not the guns fault. Not to delve too much into politics, it’s interesting to compare where I live (Canada) to the USA because we’re probably the country that’s the most similar culturally. School shootings *have* happened here but very few times. A couple big differences: 1) STRICT gun laws especially hand guns; we have more guns per capita in Canada than the US but they’re almost all long guns for hunting purposes. You can’t easily access hand guns here. You can’t access guns easily in general but you can buy them anywhere in the US. My grandpa had a handgun passed down to him and he had to do a course to keep the gun even though it was cemented thus doesn’t work. 2) free healthcare means free mental healthcare. No, this doesn’t mean that all the people who need help will get help because you need to seek it out yourself but the barrier of cost isn’t there. You have to pay to see private therapists but there’s some that work for the government and anyone can access them for free. Other than that, I’m not sure why the US is in such a terrible place with school shootings. It’s heartbreaking and tragic and thoughts & prayers will never fix this situation (though I do extend my prayers to the parents who lost their whole world and for the kids and teachers who had to endure this trauma). They need policy change and they need it now before another innocent child loses their life because they went to school. Everybody has a right to feel safe in their schools, in their communities, and I know I sure wouldn’t living there.

I hope you come back at some point but I totally understand and support you doing what’s best for your mental health . It’s sad when something tragic like this happens, all the social media preachers like Kendal have to come out of the woodwork when they’re part of the problem! Get off your soap box Kenny and do something good for the world for once. Stop caring about your guns more than you care about the lives of innocent children!

Penguin, I agree with your stance wholeheartedly. I cannot fathom how Kendal can use her platform to deny gun laws are a problem just because she is a gun supporter and has two in her house. She is a despicable example of an influencer. I sincerely hope those who were on the fence about her can finally see her for who she really is.

I didn’t even consider the fact that she blames media for the evil culture she claims is the cause of this massacre and yet it’s the same platform she uses to promote her own agendas and her own children. You are spot on. I will miss your intelligent insights but understand you.

I am just going to put this up as a quick reminder of the rules, so y'all make sure to abide by them, and I don't have to do my job (hehe). Strong political and religious sentiments should be kept out of threads, profiles, signatures, and other content. Love y'all, and continue on.

[Glass Half Full]

Silence from Kendal since her politically motivated messages yesterday morning. I wonder if she got much backlash.

I hope so. Backlash seems to be the only thing that silences her. She’s the only real YouTuber left who states their true feelings yet all it takes is some backlash to shut her up. She stands SO strong in her beliefs /sarcasm. I would love to have access to the R life accounts for a day just to see what kind of messages and comments she gets that we don’t see!

Random but I wonder what their beliefs are regarding the LGBTQ+ community. Evie has a gay friend but Kap has friends that are Black and has done racist things. I have a feeling they wouldn’t like it if one of their kids were not straight but I feel like it’s possible that S may be; he’s given me that impression since he was young and I have felt so even more as he has grown up. I hope that they would be accepting of him but I could also see him just living in denial/in the closet his whole life in fear of how his parents would react. Kenny says she’d never abandon her kids like her parents did to her but I don’t know if it would extend that far.

On Tuesday morning, May 24th, 19 children and 2 teachers said goodbye to families and walked into Robb Elementary School. They never came out. An 18-year-old murdered innocent kids and teachers. As both someone living in Texas, a student, someone who wants to be a teacher, and just a person, this hurts my heart. It doesn't matter how you feel about politics or guns. People died. Innocent people died. Kendal, this is more than just politics or guns. I have younger brother who is in 4th grade. The same age as many of the sweet children that were murdered. And the worst part is that I can't promise it won't happen to his school. Yesterday, I was home as I am done with finals, but my mom got an email saying my school was on hold. Hold means kids were not allowed to leave the classroom, but lights on and business as normal. We found out later that it was due to someone making a threat and having to take the student out of school for a police interview. Even though I was home, this was extremely scary. Thankfully, everything is ok, and the threat was not credible, but threats are never ok. I truly hope Kenny, that you take the time to explain to your kids what happened.

- For anyone here who wants to understand even more, on Netflix, there is a short film called "If anything happens, I love you" about school shootings. It makes me cry every time. It truly shows how much parents hurt and how much they just wanna turn back time and save their kid.

Who else isn’t the least bit surprised about Kendal’s IG story saying Evie has no interest in going to college??! Not shocked considering education isn’t at the top of the totem pole in their house. Looks, Disney, and cheer trump school. I have a feeling they can’t afford to pay for Evie to go to college due to being house poor and that’s part of why Kendal’s a-OK with it. Also, how are you supposed to get interested in a career if you’re so sheltered and under educated? You can’t!!
I hope Evie doesn’t end up depending on her parents her whole life and living with them until she’s 30. It’s hard to succeed without a college degree, unless you somehow hit it off with social media. Which, Evie has tried and it didn’t work out. Even with that, social media isn’t a reliable & permanent income stream as we’re seeing with K&D currently. I pray she does well and doesn’t make horrible decisions. Kendal as her guide isn’t promising, though.

I do have to admit, I love me some crumbl! I absolutely love a few of their flavors, BUT… I would never ever spend $30 a week on them.

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned here yet and for those that don’t know:

Party Box (12 cookies) is a whopping $26.48
(the box K gets every week)

6 pack: $15.78

4 pack: $10.48

That’s over $100 worth of cookies for 1 month (4 weeks) for the Riches!!

Not to mention these cookies are HUGE and whenever I get any, I get the 4 pack for my family of 5 and still have to end up cutting them into 4ths or smaller because they are very rich. I also only get these MAYBE once every 2 or 3 months and they last about a week at my house because they are so rich. It baffles me how fast this family can eat those and how they can eat a whole one in one sitting. We already know how unhealthy they are but man, they are killing their bodies with all the starbucks and cookies.

Ugh, another vlog centered around cheer. I know Kendal is obsessed but in real life is that also all they focus on? I know our kids would kill us if their sport was the topic of every conversation…heck I’d probably bore myself with my own thoughts!

Kendal, cheer season is over. Cheer vlogs do not make your channel more interesting. Let’s move on.

I don’t know why they have education on the bottom rung of their ladder. I know in Switzerland the education system is excellent…one of the best in the world, but it’s highly regulated. Having said that, university is only for subjects like law and medicine. A small percentage of the population actually goes to university. We also have third level for all other subjects like architecture, teaching, physiotherapy, nursing….to name a tiny few, but its not called college. But I suppose that’s what Americans would call it. Despite all this, many Swiss choose not to go to any third level education because the second level system prepares them very adequately for full time employment. A typical 19 year old, leaving second level education can expect to earn a start salary of (the equivalent) of 50,000+ usd per year at age 19 in Switzerland. What will Evie do? What percentage of American kids do not pursue 3rd level education. And if they don’t go to college, what do they do? What is their earning potential and how high is their employment potential straight out of school? This is a genuine question….I always assumed all American kids go to college because if they don’t won’t get a decent job that would enable them to become independent.


I bet Evie plans to become a cheer coach and get a full time job at a cheer gym.

I just reread my comment and thought it possibly sounded a little weird…what I am trying to say is that college isn’t the be-all and end-all and that I know not everyone has to go to college…but what do American kids do if they don’t go to college? I just know that in Switzerland a third level education isn’t vital because of the structure of second level.

Where do you live abouts? here.. Crumbl is

4 - $13.18
6 - $ 19.58
Party - 34.08

I wonder why the difference? This however is on the other coast, since we don't have one on the west coast. My family and I didn't care for them, and thought they were extremely expensive. But, it was a "we're in an area with them.. let's try!" kinda thing. *We* had leftovers for days of a box of 6.. and they seem to have the cookies gone in a day? It's crazy how they are when it comes to sugary/junk food items, in that family tbh. Kapri finishes a slime licker in a half a day... Brin hides candy/snacks. It's sad.
