Pollard – Newton, AL

The Pollards are a close-knit Southern family. Ron and Amie met in high school. Through many years of hard work and sacrifice, they have built their dream home near the beach. Ron is a homebuilder who loves fishing and hunting. Amie, a gregarious radio host, wears the pants in the family. They have two kids, Aaron and Anslie. Aaron plays varsity football and baseball and is on the gymnastics team "to meet girls." Anslie is the apple of her mother's eye and has several beauty pageant crowns in her collection. As a family, the Pollards love to hunt, watch NASCAR and watch college football.

I have a good feeling about this team. Of course, with my luck, they'll be the most obnoxious, nauseating team on the show...

They do sound good on paper. Guess we will have to wait and see how they really are.

I hate them already for matching jerseys.

Run Aaron Run! High maintenance girl AKA Sami Katzenberg thinks you are "cute". LOL

I think this family is going to be made of awesome. She's a radio host, should be lots of good sound bites coming out of her and the kids are adorable. One of the few family's so far that I thought sounded likable (and watch them turn out to be the worse! LOL)

Mom kind of looks like a younger version of Paula Deen. Wonder if they plan to dress like The Griswalds throughout this entire competition?

A pageant queen? I'm DEFINITELY watching this show.

I personally like the team jersey thing...looks like they have their act together!

I wonder if she actually won those tiaras or if all the participants got one or what? I mean just from the picture...
These people seem nice enough, but Mom kind of weirds me out; too much makeup, too much smiling, or something--seems sort of fake to me.
