The Willis family on the Today Show?

[MerryHappy]

Apparently they have a reality show. 12 kids with 'J' names. They are all home schooled. Religious.

Do we know anything more about them? They dress too modern to ping my ATIA radar.

On a side note: I think ATIA has ruined large, musical families for me. I find myself assuming they are all fundies.

We had a thread on them but they are boring. They're not very religious, either.

Sounds like a stage parent who puts too much pressure on children.

I think they are mainstream Christians. IIRC, they filmed a pilot for GAC which has aired but I don't know if other episodes have been filmed. I agree with gustava, the dad comes off as a stage parent and two of the older kids compete in ball room dancing.

Agree!

"Jaeger"? "Jedi"? That makes "Jinger" look normal.

The littlest ones were adorable when they did their Goat Herder audition for the competition, though. I told my husband we need to get little leiderhosen (sp?) like that for our youngest. lol
