Bristol's
new show "Life's a Tripp" premieres tonight on the Lifetime channel at
10pm/9c! I think people viewing the show will see how independent and
hardworking she is -- as is Willow who is shown making the move from
graduating high school early to working
and moving on to her next school. Bristol's show is the antithesis of
any glamorization of single parenthood. Hers is a very real life (in
fact, the show's producer recently mentioned that Bristol has a very
ordinary job, but that was one of the few places she wouldn't allowed
filmed because it is in a doctor's office). Single motherhood is shown
to be as difficult as it is -- especially with the added challenges that
come with having people irrationally dislike you. But I think people
will also see that Bristol doesn't see herself as a "victim." She just
deals with the challenges, learns from them, and moves on. The show's
first installment tonight lays the foundation of the show, so it has to
delve into some backstory; but the series moves on from all that stuff
and becomes a great Alaskana show that keeps getting better as it goes. I
hope you'll join me in tuning in tonight.
