Tanner & Jade Tolbert - BIP 2 - Discussion

I had never looked at their IG accounts before but good lord is Jade's just one giant advertisement. She takes shilling to a whole other level.

Yup. Next level. They make everyone else, including SeanCat, look like total amatures.

I agree Kasha ... I totally get WHY they do it. It's easy money, gives them a nice $$ cushion, allows Jade the opportunity not to wok, to be a SAHM later in life. It works for them. But I still find it obnoxious. I'm ok with the shilling if it's in moderation, but Jade and Tanner are RELENTLESS in your face! Every product thrown our way. They seemed so low key and normal on the show, but I literally had to stop following their add pages Instagram and Twitter, because it's just one add after another. The Lowes and the Boothstowes sell a lot of crap too, but at least it's intermixed with more normal stuff, and a little humor.

For real though. And I really dislike those stupid tummy teas and hair gummies. No, just no.

They would be better served picking like 3-4 brands and just doing posts for them on occasional. It feels less fake that way.

Yeah, I had to unfollow them because of all the advertisements. Michelle Money was always pretty bad too

So they were married for 3-4 months and then went to film!? Wow they really love the $$. :shocked!:

As for Jade not having a job, she never actually did that I knew of. If they are looking to have a family maybe there is no point in starting a job?

That's exactly what I thought...make as much money as you can until the next crop comes in. I don't follow anyone on social media so doesn't bother me. I enjoyed them on BIP and happy they found each other. I don't watch any of the reality couple boot camps so won't tune in.

I think it's interesting that reality tv has created a whole new adjunct profession for these people. If they can find an audience and merchandise to promote for $$, more power to them. How is this any different then what models in broadcast and print advertising do? In many ways, it takes more business savvy beyond just being skinny and good looking.

I don't love it either but at least you know what they're doing. Bloggers can be more under the table about the advertising dollars they get. There was one recently who quit because she was constantly making perfect snapshots of family life that was mostly fake. I wonder if this will also grow old for T/J?

I quit looking at their IG awhile ago also.

Yeah..I had to unfollow as well. But she also lives in the Midwest..what else is she gonna do? Idk.. Jade is a sweet girl and very pretty... but idk what else she does.

If you need to pay bills and eat and you aren't making enough on one hand and refuse to work on the other, they will continue to "whore" themselves out is my opinion. IMO it's a step above than the nudie pics. Just very slightly above.

I grew up in the midwest. There is a lot to do. You don't need to be snake oil salesmen to earn a living. She can get educated for starters; they have great higher ed colleges/unis. KC is a great city to live in. I have family there and have visited many times. If you don't want to work, there are many ways you can give back and volunteer.

This cracked me up! People in the Midwest have jobs. We have schools where you can get educated if need/want be.

I know she is schilling, but Lauren is also not working either. Granted she is not schilling, but maybe like Lauren, Jade just doesn't want to work right now. As long as people still follow them on SM and use their codes what is the harm right? That is what I keep hearing about Nick Viall, so why not Jade too? Plus Tanner does work hard from all that I have heard or read. JMO.
