Bindi Irwin

This seems weird, it’s an American Girl Doll, but everything seems to point that it’s modeled on her?

Pregnant women cry, dude

Even when she was a little kid, she was a ham and a natural in front of the cameras.

But I think she's becoming overexposed because now more of her camera time seems to be about her personal life instead of her work with animals.

Leave Bindi alone!!

She's actually a halfway decent role model for girls and young women and now that she's married and getting regular "attention" from her semi-hotty husband, she's looking all grown up

I live on the Sunshine Coast where their zoo is, they're hardly ever there and the locals can't stand Terri and Bindi. The zoo is good though. Terri is a bitch and loaded, obviously. Terri loves to threaten to sue people. Bob's dumb, but he doesn't need brains, does he.

I abhor her wide smile. She seems constantly cheery which is grating.

I'm still pissed that she won Dancing With the Stars (US).

What's the story on the twink brother?

OP is a bitchy and aggrieved stingray.

No opinion of Bindi, but the honest truth about her father was that his death was unfortunate and preventable. At the time, it was very difficult to admit that his crew placed him in a dangerous position and showed a very poor understanding of the ray’s biology and behavior. It was compounded by the slaughtering of other rays under the misperception that they presented danger to those who do not corner them with cameras and lighting to capture images to sell. I hope we learned something about producing science media more responsibly. It is a very sad case study. Steve Irwin was a popular figure, and his death was sad, but avoidable. Sorry.

That's fine R10.

But Bindi is trying to make an entire career out of her father's death, and promotes it in order to do so.

That includes crying on cue.

It's shameful.

I just watched an episode of Crikey. The boy seems so earnest and genuine, while she seems so fake. Even the voice she uses is a fake. And her husband grew up idolizing her father and just happened to fall in love with a ticket to the Irwin inner circle and a job at his zoo? Nothing suspicious there.

The zoo was founded by Steve’s father and Terri squeezed the founder out. Not a good look.

[quote] The zoo was founded by Steve’s father and Terri squeezed the founder out. Not a good look.

Was this after Steve died, or while he was alive?

How did she do it?

The mother looks evil in the preview video at op's link.

What’s this about living off her father’s death? What a famewhore.

Terri has been feuding with Steve's dad, Bob, for several years now. The DM ran a few stories about it. Does anyone know what happened? It doesn't appear that he has contact with Steve's kids, although his grandson is named after him.

Bindi BITCH!

No such thing as crying on cue. Doesn't exist

Bindi is like one of her trained animals.

She can cry for dollars!

Terri has everyone sign confidentiality agreements and will sue anyone who talks about her falling out with Bob Snr., including Bob senior. Bob senior is a good man who founded the zoo and hates the vapid commercialism that Terri has bought to it. Bob Snr doesn't share Terri's vision for the zoo and the general consensus is that he is in the right and Terri is the bitch. Bob senior gave the zoo to Terri and Steve as a wedding present now she won't even let him on site, threatens to sue etc. Bob snr was shattered by Steve's death and became a recluse because of it.

That is so fucked up, R19.

Is Terri an American?

r20 of course she is. It's very unAustralian to have staff sign non-disclosure agreements and go around suing people. Her relentless marketing of the zoo, herself and her children is obnoxious and tiresome and Australians don't appreciate it, nor does poor Bob Senior.

Having said that, the zoo is run very well and the animals are well treated however the staff are encouraged (read; expected and sacked if they don't) to volunteer some of their spare time to the zoo without pay. Terri is loaded and owns large portions of land and real estate all over Australia, and I imagine, the US too.

Steve's death was the best thing to happen to Terri and the zoo financially. Their reality show doesn't even air in Australia and the average Australian has no idea it even exists. Not many people have time for the Irwins in Australia, we're sick of them, we've been saturated by them for two decades. Their latest zoo commercial doesn't even have them on it, perhaps they even realise we're sick of seeing their obnoxious faces.

I Love the Irwins, I’m side eyeing Bindi’s husband though. He’s super thirsty imho. Robert is adorable and sweet.

She is pregnant and her father isn't here, I would cry too.

For take after take.

Any info. on the twink brother?

He's super cute.

DL used to have hilarious bitchy threads about Bindi, right after her dad died. They couldn't stand her!

So Bindi’s husband is an opportunist trying to get a piece of the zoo? My goodness.

Ckikey, It's the Irwins is a great, wholesome program. Discovery is airing a marathon of it today. I'm watching a 3rd episode right now.

Wow OP. Five direct insults in your post, including misogyny. You're so original. Let me guess, you also think she's completely devoid of any talent or value, and you don't understand why she's "constantly" being "shoved down our throats"?

You sound like a completely unhinged mental case, R30.

I can 't stand her.

Aren't they scientologysts?

I don't have to do anything, just look like Dad, say a few cute things and the money comes rolling in. I'm so dumb I can't even spell my name backwards.

Bitch paid that stingray

It’s creepy how they’re all conscripted into the family business that way. Kinda like the Kardashian/Jenner girls. Doesn’t matter if that’s what you want to do; you’re doing it, monkey.

I remember after her father died she was EVERYWHERE. It seemed a bit exploitative and tasteless, to be honest. This rap performance - with adult male backup dancers - got a lot of mockery and criticism and she went off the radar for a few years. I think they realized they had jumped the shark a bit.

Robert seems to be super passionate about the business.

I find that super rehearsed way the kids talk excitedly about animals on TV shows really inauthentic. It’s like they’ve been coached using videos of Steve Irwin to mimic his affect and presentation style. It’s become a family “brand” and I find it annoying.

I gave her my two cents worth on how to deal with obnoxious, over- exposed daughters.

Bob is hot. Just some brotherly bonding...
