I've always said I think they're dumb for not taking advantage of superchats. Instead of saying you guysssss we forgot to turn of superchats, don't send us money, say if you like what we do and want to send us some money, we really appreciate it. I would like The Trackers if they were honest, but they're never honest about anything. Comps superchats, being a travel channel, even the information they give people about the parks. All lies

Yes, I think that's really at the foundation of any criticism I've had for them. If they were straight up legit with everything, and were like - yeah, we're ballers now and we just bought a kick ass new house compared to that slumming house we used to live in but yeah, give us $$$ if you want! I would probably have [slightly...LOL] less of an issue with it. Because I'd be like - well, it sure is unethical as hell to take the $ but at least people know full well what's up.

If you watch their vlogs, they're very careful about never showing the outside, multiple levels (rarely showed stairs) of the home, going in and out of multiple rooms, etc. - anything to give the impression of the actual size of the house. It took forever for them to actually feature the pool and backyard; they always had the blinds closed as if on purpose so people couldn't see out. See *footnote*, of sorts, below -

For real - I honestly used to watch them religiously and enjoy their content. (though I was never a huge fan of Jenn as there was just something about her I couldn't put my finger on but she just seemed fake to me).

I've already listed so many things on this thread already but it wasn't until my ears started perking up with certain inconsistencies or things I'd need to go back and watch again because I'd be having a "wait? what?" type of moment where something didn't add up, or just plain flat out lies (like the cruise thing I referenced).

Coupled all that with evolving personalities which just seemed more fake as soon as they started getting #hosted and invited to more Disney things as they got more noticed by Disney (if only for their sub #s because others like WDW Couple put out FAR better edited and Disney kiss-ass type promo vlogs for Disney than Trackers ever have), etc.

Coupled that with so. much. drama. all the time - whether Jenn starting stuff with Justin Scarred, Prince Charming Dev, random people who may not like them, etc. - the post-pregnancy announcement lies and drama, lies about Bandit's health over the years (poor dog was on his supposed deathbed so many times).

Even so much as I lived in the same county as them - Seminole - when they lived in Sanford and during hurricanes or tropical storms, they'd amp it up so much you'd think we were in Homestead re-living Andrew or something. When what they described was literally *nothing* that we were actually experiencing in our area - but, of course, umpteen stans expressing so much fear and prayers and worry over the Trackers safety. I mean - I couldn't roll my eyes more sometimes!

I suppose I should probably stop paying attention to them but damn it, it's so hard! Because it's like I want other people not to invest so much energy in being completely and utterly stan-like obsessed with two people who are so fake and seriously wouldn't give you the time of day if it weren't for the fact that they need that viewer to help pay their mortgage!

Footnote:
I just remembered another sneaky thing they did. They stayed on Anna Maria Island in June 2018. At a beach house. Tim specifically did a vlog giving us a tour of their rental. He carefully never showed the outside of the front of the house or the entire house. Only 2 smaller bedrooms and a bathroom and maybe briefly the living area / kitchen. I think one side of the small pool. You would have thought it was a small cottage the way he filmed it and talked.

I was curious because I love that area and it looked like a nice little place. So after some searching on rental websites, I spotted the photos of the exact bedroom and downstairs area Tim showed (it was all fully furnished and matched up) in his video.

It was actually something akin to thousands of dollars a week to rent ($4,000 I think was the number) - luxury-like home - upwards of 5-6 bedrooms, umpteen bathrooms, fancy pool area with water slide and tropical foliage, a covered deck-like area with a bar, etc.

BTW, he didn't even show the master bedroom on the tour which was bigger and had a reaaaally nice bathroom. He purposely showed two of the other guest bedrooms that were smaller.

Conceivably all to hide that they could, indeed, afford to drop $4K on a 5-bdrm house for 2 people for the week but KNEW they just couldn't let their viewers SEE that! It'd be bad optics. (and likely superchats would dry up the next time they did one)

Just another example of not giving the full truth and making it seem like they're not where they really are in life - whether it's having the ability to rent that 5-bdrm beach house for 2 people (but giving the impression it's a bungalow)... or taking super chat money shortly after moving into a half a million dollar house.

Highlights from todays vlog at the MK.

Tim really wants a hot dog despite the fact he ate hotdogs the day before at home.

He aimlessly meanders around the Magic Kingdom trying to find one, but can't. He for some reason thought they sold them at Aloha Isle and the Sunshine Tree Terrace.

Tim within the first few seconds of the video makes a note of the clouds and how it looks like it rain.

He explores MK looking for secluded places where he could potentially eat in the future.

Tim actually gets a nice shot of lightning striking the top of the castle.

Tim rides one ride, the Carousel but proceeds not to touch any part of the horse with his hands.

I don't understand why he keeps doing this to himself. He looks miserable in the parks, and his "faux" enthusiasm is so easy to see through.

Are you telling me he wondered around MK for a hotdog and didn’t think of going to Casey’s Corner...you know, the place that Specialises in hotdogs?

 

[Wendilyn22]

Timbo complaining about the dividers on the Safari Trucks.

He's a freaking idiot, who views the animals on the Safari from a straight ahead angle? NOBODY!

99.9% of people view the animals by looking left or right, no one looks forward to see animals.

Also with parties getting their own row, like he did. You don't have to worry about some other random persons head getting the way blocking your ability to see what is going on.

He needs to stop going to the parks. Nothing has been positive coming from that channel. Glad I don’t follow them anymore. I’ve had a very pleasant day watching Cory Meets World stream live from Epcot. No complaining coming from him, he just shows it like it is. Let’s you make up your own mind.

 

[2020planner]

Because Jenn is incapable of making things on her own, and needs someone to lay out the steps for her....which then she fails to read the recipe directions anyway.

I don't have an issue with the meal boxes, but part of it is trying new things, and if you like a recipe you save the card go to the market and buy those ingredients...except neither of them do. So they keep ordering the same boxes with recipes like a hamburger or grilled cheese included.

I agree, except she / they used to cook in their old vlogs, make lunches, go to the grocery store, etc. aka being normal.

I truly think they believe they're both way too busy (which is absurd) and simply lazier now.

Also, you know they think highly of themselves as the supposed apex of Disney-centric YouTube vloggers (which is an absurd statement, in and of itself), so they probably think they "earned" not having to be "bothered" with going to the grocery store - gasp! - like the "common" folk have to do.

I honestly don't want to see anyone on the streets, but I am SO looking forward to when this entitled Disney vlogger "job / lifestyle" is a thing of the past.

 

[MamaBear2000]

So they couldn't buy the nice room size baby gate because he will ram his face into it or bite it and get hurt. WTF?? They come up with the dumbest stuff. Even if he did this do, he will learn real fast not to do it again.

And they have friends over yet his FAMILY have still not even met this baby!?!?!?

WHY are they sitting 10 ft apart WITH masks on, OUTSIDE?? They get stupider every day. And the double fans, in the shade, with an umbrella over the baby. I just can't with these two anymore.

What's up with all the store bought baby food lately? Another thing they have given up on I guess.

 

[SheDaisy]

In today’s vlog,
* Tim shows off his new glasses. He never wears them on camera because they make his eyes appear smaller. The Stans love them.
* Jackson is given yet another toy. This time it’s a plastic egg carton and eggs, which he would rather eat! More suited to a 2-3 yr old, but of course we have to hear “ do you love it?, you do huh”, over and over again !
* Tim’s chore for today, changing a shower curtain to another which is exactly the same.
* plated meal subscription hasn’t arrived on time, so they have to go out to pickup take out!
* They have to wear their sunglasses in the dark garage in case they get recognised
* Mexican food gives Jenn tummy troubles because she’s so used to healthy food these days not to mention the 250 cookies they’ve eaten over the last few weeks!
* Jackson is quizzed
on which parent he likes better...WTF
* yep all in all another fantastic day in the delusional world of Tracker
And so it goes!

I swear that his first words are gonna be I don't love it. LOL!!

 

[Chedranian Girl]

Do you reckon he is genuinely that paranoid, or is it all a show for attention / because he thinks he should be seen as taking it super seriously?

 

[MooMooSharoo]

I find them to be a mixture of fake and sincere. Like I really do believe them when they say they have grown and matured as people and that they believe what they did was wrong. On the other hand they never would have apologized unless they were called out. They tried to just delete the videos and hoped nobody would notice. I also think they were over exaggerating their sad facial expressions and were trying to make it seem like they had been crying prior to the video. I also didn’t care for them holding the baby during part of the video for sympathy points.

 

[Smallpotato]

I really like them, I think they are sweet. Jen has a lot of anxiety problems stemming from trolling online; hence why she edits and Tim films himself.

I’ve met him at Magic Kingdom and he was lovely.

I’m neutral on them, generally watch their vlogs if they are going somewhere I want to know about as he puts so much detail in to them.



The cardigan backlash thing really pissed me off. So it was expensive? They clearly have enough money to buy all the essentials and far more. They also donated a similar amount to charity at the same time but nobody ever mentions that. I just wanted to to type to everybody moaning “Some people have more money than you, get over it!“

Id buy a Gucci cardigan if I was paid to film myself at Disney all day!

 

[SheDaisy]

I always find Tims videos a bit too long... Can anyone else recommend a vlogger who is informative, but straight to the point with everything going on in Florida now?

Adam the Woo's Disney World videos are great. He's good and showing things that people actually want to see. Also, I like Rix Flix, but as was mentioned before, they do a lot of Universal vlogs...

 

[peteykirch]

Today's video.

Tim is at Epcot, and he's actually going to try and eat!

Within the first 20 seconds, Tim brings up the fact it's going to rain.

Tim tells us Universal changed their mask policy to be more like Disney's i.e no neck gaitors.

Timbo upset that the jumping fountains at the Imagination Pavilion aren't running.

Tim got the Crispy Citrus Chicken and found a table near absolutely anyone, you know like he could've done the first 2 times...He is so paranoid, he kept looking around to make sure no one came near him while eating. He's complaining about the quality of the chicken, guess it's not up the Marley and Spoon quality he's used to.

He got the terrarium dessert as well, and was confused since it said avocado cream and didn't remember it being in it the first time. He doesn't know what's in the dish but it tastes good. However, it was not up to "another level" and he feels dejected as he hasn't been blown away.

Tims glasses blew off the table, so he got an immediate hard-on for the impending Florida storms.

Tim has to find a secluded place before he orders anything. He legit walked around World Showcase to find a secluded space to eat his sausage in peace.

Tim doesn't know if Kidcot is still available or not....since you know they aren't a news site and don't have to keep up with Disney information.

Tim now super paranoid that his sausage had a tinge of pink to it and is now afraid that he's going to be sick later.

Tim got nervous because there were more than 2 people in the entire American Pavilion, and had to run to Japan to see if he could find empty space to eat, so he went back to Hops & Barley to get the Carrotcake, and then went back to Japan to eat in solitude.

Well, he at least went and ate something, maybe in 4 weeks he'll go on an inside ride.

 

[MamaBear2000]

Also...when Jenn said "It was good to be outside" & kept going on & on about how amazing it was to get some fresh air. Umm....you know that is your yard, right? Like, you own it. You can go outside whenever you want to Jennifer. You don't need to invite your CM meal ticket & his thirsty wife your BFFs over to go outside.

THIS!! They constantly talk about going in the pool and yet never do! It's so odd to me. Why is it such a production to just step outside two feet and get in the damn pool.

 

[YouKnowSoFlo]

I don't understand why Adam still hangs out with Tim when he's in FL. It seemed like they used to be good friends, then Jenn got in the way of that. It also didnt help that Tim got such a big head when he started getting more subscribers than Adam. They are definitely threatened by other vloggers. They don't see themselves getting any publicity out of collaborations, they see it as giving someone with less subscribers a boost and possibly turning them in to real competition by letting their subscribers see someone new and possibly taking that subscribe away from them.

I always go back to when Rise of the Resistance opened. Adam was interviewing other vloggers to see how they liked it. So was Super Enthused, Theme Park Expedition and Paging Mister Morrow. They were all having so much fun together talking to each other. Then you got Tim, all by himself not interacting with anyone. He may have talked to Adam for a bit but he had too much self importance to put anyone else in his precious vlog.

I co-sign all of this. To the bolded: I think Adam & Tim legitimately like each other. Adam is still the Tim from 10 years ago. Tim was just willing to sell out. Adam is still banned from Universal I think. Tim would never allow that to happen. Like two college buddies who still hang with each other, although one of them still acts like a frat boy in his 40s & the other has become suburban sellout dad. The get together, throw back a few beers, (ride a few rollercoasters), all while the wife is glaringly observing it all, wishing that her husband would just cut his "bad influence" buddy out of their lives.

ETA: Not that Adam would turn down being #hosted. Just that Tim & Jen aren't the type to buy an RV spontaneously, etc. You know what I mean.

 

[lemon&lime]

That baby was born LONG before COVID (if Tim / Jenn actually *did* utter that absolute lie of an excuse) and his parents live in Lake Mary. Only 30-40 miles from Trackers house in Lake Nona.

Hi
I’m new here but have been reading along.

I wanted to add to this comment, I’m sure they said on a recent vlog that the reason family hadn’t seen Jackson was because he hadn’t had his vaccinations

So it’s to take him out to the park and out to have food, but not ok to see family!

 

[Jen237]

Dim is nuts! On his quest for a hot dog yesterday at the MK, he couldn’t possibly do a mobile order at Cosmic Rays, because that would mean he would have to enter a building to go inside for a few minutes yet today he’s more than happy to into what looks like a small and confined HHN shop without issue. Where are his priorities?

 

[peteykirch]

Well, I found Tim's next Universal Vlog subject....

The new crepe stand finally opened. I can't wait to see him order one of everything, take it home and then wonder why everything is soggy mush.

 

[Bangarang0522]

Couldn't agree more. I watched the Trackers for years & I was always suspect of Jenn's diagnosis, but didn't want to judge.

I don't have any issues with anxiety, but a close family member does to the point that they can't drive, etc. Once had a full blown panic attack set off by the lighting in a movie (as in the way the scene was shot), & I had to sit with them in a dark corner of the hallway until it passed. When Jenn had her "Target's light gave me panic attacks." It totally made me side eye. I know everyone is different, but if my family member had chose to vlog right after a panic attack, you would be able to tell they were visibly shaken/had been crying. Not this, "OMG you guys, so like, the lights in Target totally mess with my anxiety." But it's still her favorite store ever & they go there for every date night.

Everything they do is bull and is for sympathy. The anxiety from the target lights like you said how can you vlog about it right after it happened? If you had an attack you wouldn't be able to. And I know that people can get control of their anxiety but I don't believe in a few years she went from getting an attack because of the Target lights to being able to stay in the store for 3 hours so she could shop for the baby, unbelievable.

Another example of them needing attention and sympathy was when she was pregnant and she started having pains that worried them. Understandable that you go to the ER if you're older and you're experiencing something you're not expecting. What's not normal is that apparently the pain was excruciating but they could stop in the parking garage of the hospital for 10 min and vlog about what's going on before they go in to the ER. I'm sorry if you're in that much pain put the damn camera away, stop begging for attention from your stans and go take care of the problem. If you can vlog for 10 min before you go in, you're not in that much pain and your wasting the ERs time and space.

 

[Desdemona]

Do you reckon he is genuinely that paranoid, or is it all a show for attention / because he thinks he should be seen as taking it super seriously?

Given the lengths he has gone to about this, I think he is actually paranoid about it. Most people who are just doing it for attention would slip up at some point and I would imagine the same could be said for Tim.

 

[peteykirch]

I've been watching the Tracker's videos since 2014. They were the first Orlando/Disney based vloggers I came across and with the following they had even then, I just assumed they were the "best" and most knowledgeable on the parks in the Orlando area. But over the years, I've come across and started watching many other Orlando/Disney based vloggers and every. single. one is far more knowledgeable and just...more fans of Disney etc than the Trackers are and it becomes more obvious how much they don't know or care. I was disillusioned by them, because they were the first I came across, and I just assumed they were the top tier Orlando vloggers, when in fact.... yes, they have the high number in followers but they're really bottom their when it comes to well.... everything else.

Their video uploaded on Monday from MK was just so dull. Compared to every other vlogger I watch, Tim did nothing in the park. He won't ride indoor rides, but then complained about it raining and how he couldn't ride any outdoor rides becauase of the rain, but yet went into the cave on Tom Sawyer Island and... ????? If you're going to have such strict rules when it comes to this pandemic (which is fine for him to have) then why go the parks at all? I get that he's doing it for views because I guess their home vlogs are boring AF, but you might as well just go the full haul and ride everything - indoors or outdoors and eat in the damn parks. Really Tim, just being in the park you're more at risk, so taking the "precautions" to not ride anything indoors or eat in the parks is just idiotic when you've gone as far you have. You're not any safer.

As for Jenn, I always felt watching their vlogs over the years that I could relate to her. She's around my age (a few years older), she also lost her mom to cancer, she suffers from anxiety that partially stops her from living a normal daily life... but I've again, been disillusioned. I have severe anxiety that prevents me from driving (I'm in my 30s and have never learned, it's that bad), so hearing that Jenn was the same, made me feel less alone and stupid about it (I've lost out on getting promotions at my work for not being able to drive), but now I feel it's all a front and an attention seeking thing with her? I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't judge this too harshly because you never truly know how someone else is feeling, but from reading this thread, I just don't think her anxiety is as bad as she claims it to be. Also, her claiming that she couldn't have kids - I honestly thought they had been to doctors and been told this and I felt so bad for them - but turns out she just self diagnosed them as being unable to have kids as they got pregnant naturally in their mid/late 30s???? lol okay, Jenn. I guess the anxiety is self diagnosed too?

I stopped watching them regularly over a year ago and now just watch the odd video to see what's going on, really only if it's a park video. Haven't watched a single home vlog in that time. Couldn't care less about their baby. I sent them mail in 2017, which I now realise they would have left sitting for three years, going by that recent live mail vlog. Which I never watched, so no idea if they even opened the mail. Don't care to know.

To sum it up, literally every single Disney/Orlando based vlogger, new or old, are better than the Trackers on the subject and they don't deserve the following they have.

The Trackers lucked out being at the right place at the right time. If they tried to start out right now, they'd be screwed. They were the first and flooded the Youtube algorithm with their daily videos. People fail to realize just because you were the first it doesn't mean the best.

For a couple who have been doing it as long as them, you think there would've been a massive upgrade in quality from Day 1 to Day 10000. The only thing that changed in their vlogging is going from SD to HD that's about it. Jenn still hasn't learned how to edit well, and it still allegedly takes her 13 hours to edit a vlog down to 20-30 minutes.

With Jenn it seems she lives in her own la la land where she doesn't seek professional help and would rather self diagnosis everything, or it's just Tim telling her what she wants to hear. She's a toxic person who just exudes negative energy the bulk of the time. She wants to play the victim but she was completely cut throat in her Twitter days where she would have her lackeys go after people that didn't bow and kiss the ground she walked on.

 

[peteykirch]

That's the face of a man who is completely dead inside.

For a channel that stated they weren't going to be reopening content, they have pumped out a lot of reopening content, and now they are having a live vlog answering reopening questions.

SALVO! Uniqlo apparently sent Tim a box of Disney shirts for free.

Tim also thinks them cleaning every 2 hours isn't enough....despite the fact they offer free hand sanitizer before the queue, before you get on the ride vehicle, and right when you get off the ride....
