It's R Life - Part 1

So many thoughts for these three responses:

To the one below all I can say is LIAR. We know Evie doesn’t wear a seatbelt for a lot longer than 10 seconds

And to the two below.she is so passively aggressive. She loves cheer sooooo much yet doesn’t have a clue who the competitors at the competition last weekend were. She is just too ungracious in defeat. Heck I was a distant online observer of the competition and could tell you which team beat Evie’s team. Her mantra: no one puts baby in a corner.

Kendal, may I remind you of this?

Kendal, may I remind you of this?

Her passive aggressive lies are too much.. she does it *constantly*. When she got those Jordan sneakers for EV, everyone kept asking what store and she would lie and say she didn’t know. Maybe look at the recipe or your credit card transactions? I don’t even live in the same country as them and I know, just from their videos, what the name of the store was. Telling people means it won’t be as exclusive anymore. She wants to be better than everyone; everybody is beneath her and so she doesn’t want them to be able to get the same things and, in the cheer perspective, all other gyms are beneath her girls and FC so she pretends to pay no attention to them. Top Dog is one of the bigger gyms and they’ve competed against them at least twice. STOP LYING! It’s so not Christian of her…

Looks like Kendal will get her way and her girls will win the competition since they’re the only teams in their category

How exactly does this work? Why even compete if there are no competitors?? Do they pay to just perform and win a trophy for showing up? Can they completely bomb their routine and still “win”?

Yeah basically works the same as usual. They perform and, no matter what they score, they win. They do it as a way to guarantee a win but that’s a lot of money to go compete against nobody… I think it also makes it more likely for them to get a bid. Both EV and Brun’s teams don’t have a bid so they’re probably banking on this competition to get the bid. If they don’t get a bid, they don’t go to summit and I know they’ve said that the coaches basically guarantee the teams will go to summit. If they can’t get the bid by fairly competing, they’ll do it by competing against nobody… *insert eye roll here*

Woweee. And I’m sure Kenny will be screeching the entire vlog about how AMAZING their routines were and how she cried 10 times just thinking about how amazing they did.

Yuuuup. I’m sure you will be right. Then she’ll go on about how they earned those bids and blah blah blah. You still have to have a decent score to earn a bid depending how many the competition has to give out. Say they have 1 bid per division/level, then EV’s level 3 for example will be competing with the other level 3’s for a bid. The thing is though at these smaller competitions, a lot of the highest scoring teams already have bids so it goes to the next team down the line. Like their level 3 could get the worse score of all level 3’s but still get a bid if everyone above them score wise already did. Considering there’s several divisions with only 1 team, it should be easy for them to get a bid regardless since the other teams likely already got one. Plus they get bragging rights that they won even if by default; if it’s a comp that gives out jackets or rings, they’ll get them anyways.

It’s too late to edit my post this is really interesting I promise!!!! I did some digging into who’s competing this weekend. This competition has 10 wild card bids to give out. If you count the number of teams competing that are eligible for a summit bid (D1 gyms, junior or senior L1-L7), there’s 11 teams who can qualify. 11 teams performing for 10 bids!!!! And I’m sure some of those teams already have bids. That means literally everyone no matter how well or poorly they perform are guaranteed get a bid. That’s wack. Summit is supposed to be prestigious, the best of the best, so everyone at a competion getting one takes away from that! Kendal definitely won’t let people in on this info…

That is interesting. But do all 10 bids HAVE to be handed out? I mean let’s say 4 of the 11 teams really mess up, will they still get summit bids? With a wild card bid is anything paid when they go to summit?

Also…just a comment but not a question….they said that Kapri’s regional summit is in Myrtle Beach. And that they’d be driving to it. Like what the heck! It’s over 600 miles. I sure hope to god they can drag themselves away from Florida for longer than 2 nights. Because they cannot put Kapri in a car for over 10 hours and expect her legs to be working properly the next day to compete.
We might drive that sort of distances if we are going on holiday for two weeks and even at that we’d likely stop somewhere halfway and stay a night in a hotel.
Unless Kapri’s team is going to have practice in SC before the actual competition she would definitely need to miss practice in Flip City before she leaves in order to get to Summit on time and with reasonably fresh legs.
Surely just this once they can leave 4 children at home with Daniel’s parents and they (Kendal and Daniel) can hop on a plane with Kapri and take her to they biggest competition of the year and allow her to arrive ready to compete. I do not understand where their priorities lies.
And when they do drive all the way to SC, do you think they’ll perhaps stay on afterwards and go visit family on friends whom they haven’t seen in about 4 years?

Also too slow to edit:

Do you think if Kendal reads here regularly she sees how au fait we are with cheer and the various competitions they attend. She gets nervous because she knows she can’t hide or bullshit her audience because she will get called out. This confirms what I said a while back…she only blocks people who she feels are a threat to her (obviously not her safety but her fabricated stories). And the truth is, we are not a group of 12 year old fan girls who hang on her every word. We are intelligent adults who can smell a fib a mile away. And through this forum she can see that we know a lot more than she would ever want to divulge to her fans.

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure all bids are given out. Though Varsity wants to make worlds and summit exclusive, they also make more money the more teams compete so it makes sense that they would give out all the bids. Which competition gets what amount of bids is decided at the beginning of the season so the bids would “roll over” to another competition making me think they will likely give them all out. There’s literally only 2 teams competing in D1 (and a 3rd that only has one team). Every division is literally just FC against Palm Beach Lightning. It’s quite odd, it’s like a face off between two gyms.

I’m sure it will be with great chagrin that they will have to leave their beloved SOUTH Florida. I could be wrong but I think Kendal is too anxious to fly hence why they drive everywhere. I Google map’ed it and it’s a nearly 10 hour drive without bathroom and food stops. I would think that wouldn’t set you up for a successful competition as you’d be exhausted from all the time in the car. It would shock me if they didn’t bring the whole family, I’m sure they’ll torture the boys with 20+ hours in the car for a 2 day trip when they’d probably be much happier at home. They are also driving to Cheersport in Atlanta which is almost 9 hours. Other than flight anxiety, I don’t know why else (other than cost I guess) they would drive these huge distances. When they lived in NC, they drove like 10 hours to go on their Disney trips so they are no stranger to the extremely long car rides though that doesn’t make them any more pleasant. Imagine being stuck in a car with stressed out Kendal for 10 hours…

Again, I’d be shocked if they actually visited anyone. I don’t think they have many ties to North Carolina anymore other than her travel agent friend. If anything, I can see her friend meeting them in Myrtle Beach rather than the Riches going to visit them. With how the Rich kids cycle through friends, they probably don’t have many ties to NC either. Other than that, the only other people I can think of is Daniel’s parents who lived in SC but we know they’re down in Florida now. I can’t think of anyone else they'd visit. I know when Kendal has done Q&A’s and people ask about going back to NC to visit, she always says no and that they really don’t have any need or desire to so I’d be very surprised.

Don’t you wish we could edit posts for longer? I always think of something to add but am too slow on the trigger haha. I bet it probably makes her very nervous, especially the fact we can converse and dig deeper into the truth and she has no control over it. On YouTube and Instagram (and I think tiktok but I’m less familiar with it), she can use the block button as much as she wants (and I’m sure it’s very frequently used!) but she can’t control the conversation here. It’s probably a fear of hers that other people will discover this site and she’ll be exposed, losing her audience (her money makers) and forcing her and Daniel back into a “normal” life (which I think would be really good for Daniel to be frank). We probably are a threat in her mind but we’re small in number and not many audience members know we exist. She probably hates though that we pick apart her lies pertaining to cheer and otherwise. Like you said, we can very quickly disprove their lies. I don’t know that she reads here regularly but I’m sure she keeps an eye on it. I think the haters on Instagram and tiktok are more of her focus since they are a more direct threat, especially on tiktok where she can’t delete comments. I hope she knows that her lies can’t get past us.

The biggest threat is probably that we’re not 12 year old fans that are intimidated by her… we aren’t intimidated by her at all. That’s where our power lies (and our intelligence over the preteens lol)

Just to clarify… by threat, I don’t mean physically, I have no desire to physically harm someone. I just meant that our conversations and knowledge here are the biggest threats to their social media career. The threat is the wealth of information here. We see through most of the lies and, if people ever found this forum en masse, they would probably lose a lot of their audience. Just wanted to make that super clear so they couldn’t say claim that the “haters” on here threatened to hurt them or whatever.

Judging by today's video, Hampton looks like he is on the road to becoming morbidly obese. They seem to feed him fast food for nearly every meal. If he's not able to be active due to his disability, they really should make an effort to tailor his diet accordingly. And that will be difficult as he'll want what his siblings are eating.

The other takeaway from today's vlog is just how profoundly strange Daniel is. He's obviously done well for himself in life, as he's got a beautiful wife and family, a nice house, and he seems like a nice enough guy, but I don't understand the constant giggling. I've never seen anyone who finds so much humor in such mundane things.

Why are they feeding him peanut butter when he has an allergy?!?!?

Why are they feeding him peanut butter when he has an allergy?!?!?

They don’t seem to understand allergies which they should considering Kendal was an RN… In a vlog before Christmas, he drank Daniels smoothie with PB and Daniel was like saying it was no biggie because last time only his face and ears and lips swelled up. Umm… that’s a pretty severe reaction. I was always told that if you’re swelling especially around your mouth with food allergies, the next time you eat could be the time your throat swells and end up having anaphylactic shock. With food allergies that cause facial swelling especially, you’re playing Russian roulette with your life. You never know when anaphylaxis will hit and it kills. I know of several kiddos in my community who have died from food allergies. I hope they have an epipen on hand…

[AlohaPineapple]

I’ve been seeing a lot of comments on videos and EV’s social media accounts saying she’s the next Gabi Butler… I very much disagree.

For those who don’t know who Gabi is, she was on the Netflix show Cheer and has been once of the most famous and sought after cheerleaders since she was 12/13 years old and she’s now 20 something. At 13, she moved across the country on her own from Florida to California as she was recruited to compete on a top team, Smoed at California Allstate for those interested, that had a Worlds wining streak for years. She is a beast, a very talented all around athlete which is a rarity to have someone who flies as beautifully and with as amazing flexibility as she does AND is amazing at tumbling too, performing hard passes and skills that a lot of other girls at her level can’t do. Many cheerleaders are known for their flying or tumbling or jumps but she is so well rounded and extremely talented in it all. Gabi has been able to do a full since she was 12 or 13, maybe even younger. For a lot of years, she was seen kind of as a cheer prodigy and has maintained her fame in the cheer world as she’s like a fine wine, she keeps getting better with age.

Literally the only things EV and Gabi have in common is that they both dye their hair black and both have dark tans but that’s where the similarities end. Yeah they’re both cheerleaders but Gabi has been competing on a senior level 6 team since she was age eligible (12/13 years old depending on when her birthday is) whereas EV has been on a L2 most of her years except this year on an L3. Gabi is visibly SUPER fit and more slim, her body looks like that of a serious athlete like she is. She’s a beast on the floor and in the air. When it comes to cheer, there is literally no comparison between EV and Gabi; two completely different cheerleaders. Even most girls on L6 teams can’t compare to Gabi skill wise.

So TLDR; EV may be the next Gabi Butler looks wise (well really just the hair and skin tone) but she is certainly not the next Gabi Butler cheerleading wise that’s for sure. She only has one more year on a senior team so there’s no way she’ll catch up to Gabi skill wise either.

PS, check out Gabi’s Instagram if you want to see some beautiful cheerleading. It’s @gabibutler1617

Sorry for the a million comments in a row but just wanted to add that they do allergy challenges with allergy doctors in their office. This is what they *should* have done. Doing it at an allergists office assures they have the proper medication on hand to manage a reaction/anaphylaxis if it were to happen and they also do things gradually, starting with small amounts and building up. They know what a dangerous reaction looks like so they can sometimes intervene early to prevent full blown anaphylaxis. If he really wanted to have peanut butter, they should’ve booked an appointment with an allergist to discuss doing a peanut challenge. I don’t say this to be critical, I’m just concerned for their kids safety with how they do some things. It blows my mind how little they seem to know about health related things considering Kendal was a nurse.

Xulie…do come back:

I am sure the reason why they didn’t take Hampton to a doctor or allergist is because they don’t have the medical insurance to cover it. In my opinion, Hampton should be insured to the hilt given all the therapies he NEEDS. And now suddenly they’re doing a peanut allergy experiment on their child. I know medical insurance in the US is way more complicated than it is here. In this country we don’t differentiate between kids from poor or from wealthy backgrounds. A child’s health insurance will always cover everything. I do remember a few years ago that some doctor said Evie wasn’t sick with a cold but that she had allergies (I assume hay fever) and that Daniel couldn’t get the tablets that were recommended because Evie’s insurance didn’t cover them. At the time I was dumbfounded. First of all, get better insurance for your kids and secondly, how expensive were these allergy tablets exactly that he couldn’t just pay for them! They think nothing of paying for a whole load of unnecessary smelly stuff from Bath and Body Works, can they honestly not pay for a packet of allergy tablets for their child?

Kendal said Hampton was not in a position to do sports right now. I saw him running up and down the living room in the last vlog. I think what she meant to say was: Hampton cannot do sports right now because WE are lazy parents and not in a position to put any effort into our adopted child.

I saw on IG that everyone is very excited that Evie’s team won their competition at the weekend. That must have been tough (NOT) since they were the only team in the competition.

Not a word about Brinley’s team except that they had zero deductions on their standing tumbling. I suspect this means they came second of the two teams in the competition. Again Kendal said she was excited about what will probably happen after this competition and Aloha, I suspect you’re on to something and Kendal knows her girls will likely be handed a Summit bid on a gold plate because there were so many to be awarded. But in these wild card bids, nothing is paid for, right? The families foot the bills. And if they’re handed a Wild Card bid, does this mean they are exempt from ever being awarded a fully paid bid?
