Seattle Space Need. Ashley is moving to Seattle, and buying her first place. $450,000 budget. First condo don't think the camera crew likes her, when she talked about liking the subway tile in the bathroom, she was looking down, and the camera showed a penny tile floor. If she thinks the first one is tight and dark, wait until a nice rainy day in winter. That one doesn't have parking, but you get a parking permit for the area, and hunt for your own space. $350,000 on Capitol Hill and she expects charm for that price in Capitol Hill, 1 bed 1 bath. It comes with covered secured parking. Bedroom is small, and bathroom is nice, but Ashley wants to remodel it eventually. The garden/patio is shared by the building, and Ashley wants to let her dog run around? She doesn't actually have a dog yet. Third Single Family, with space. $435,000. It's in the burbs, 20 minutes South of Capitol Hill. Cute house, with a fenced yard, and under the flight path of the airport. 2 bed 2 bath, 9,000 sq ft lot, 1500 sq ft, really nice house. There is a driveway, and it's very long. Primary bedroom is nice, no door o the closet. Bath is nice, and a good size. downstairs has a finished family room, with an office. Family room would work with a pull out sofa, office downstairs wouldn't have the airplane noise. Lots of windows. If she has to get a fireplace, they make electric freestanding ones that are great. I would buy #3, use the downstairs for an office in the windowless room. . She bought #2.

tbh, when I started the episode tonight, I didn't know if I'd make it through the season or even the whole episode. I'm starting the season late and we were very spoiled last season with mostly wholesome, competent teams. This season got right in there with annoying voices, bickering, incompetence, frustration... all my least favorite parts of TAR. I was disappointed (and confused) with the elimination since I wasn't sure how no NEL was going to work with everyone continuing to race. Also with their showing at the memory task, they might have succeeded where others wouldn't (yes, I was annoyed at so many people jumping to the horse task even if the "judge" was maybe the most adorable race judge ever). I will stick with it for a while but it's definitely a background show right now. I walked away and did other things rather than being glued to the screen.

To play Devil’s Advocate-“Isaac and Ishmael” was written and filmed quickly so it could be inserted as a stand alone TWW episode after the 9/11 attacks. So, yes, not a strong episode. But the snark on TWoP was glorious!

This is a direct copy/paste from Matt on Facebook about an hour ago. Informative. ============ Matt's 5 most asked questions... since last Tuesday's episode. This post won't be for everyone because it’s long & has lots of details. I'm sorry in advance to those that are Spelling/grammar purists. I write just like I talk.. lots or run on sentences-- with lots of extra dots….. and misplaced punctuation. If these juicy details aren't for you --- You are welcome to just move on. Many of you I think will find some of this interesting-- Now that I’m officially not under a contract NDA, I can speak much more freely than I've been able to the past 20 years or so-- In fact, the first interesting tidbit to share is we (The Roloff family) signed our first contract with CBS (not Discovery/TLC) back in 2003-- It then transferred to Discovery around 2004/5 when we did the "pilot" Little People Big Dreams. It took a year longer to get the green light and finally air what is now considered the beginning of LPBW as you know it today.--- So Yes-- 20 years of being under TV contract(s). Here are my 5 most asked Q's.. this past week. 1) Was last Tuesday's episode the 'Season' or 'Series' Finale? It's true that several family members have announced publicly that they are no longer interested in filming LPBW-- I think Amy, myself and producers have known this for quite some time-- We completed our contract obligations and wrapped filming last September 2024-- Season 25 was a very fun and fulfilling filming cycle and Caryn and I particularly enjoyed working together with Chris and Amy in so many productive ways- Of course we missed filming more with the other family members and were obviously disappointed not to do more things all together. Here is my opinion on why TLC didn’t announce (at least not yet) this was the “Series” finale vs “Season” Finale. Clip look-back special shows in the works?? Maybe? Here is some more context-- Way back in early August of 2010 (14 years ago) the Roloff family had a family meeting and afterwards we contacted the TLC attorney and announced we were Done- We had come off a 40+ episode year (2009) and the filming process was a grind back then and disruptive to the kids schooling and discipline etc-- We thought we had completed our mission of educating the world on what it's like to be a Little Person in an average size world-- Enough TV filming already!! ....we wanted to go back to running the farm and our normal lives-- So We made it clear to TLC we were finished-- We had completed the last of a 5 year contract option and it was time to move on-- A few days later on August 26th 2010-- TLC PR department put out a press release that said... "Little People Big World Cancelled and season 6 would be the last."... (research Little People Big World on Wiki) The family got a bit of a chuckle out of that headline- but it was true enough to just go about our business-- Funny thing is... The show never was cancelled -- Wiki has that right! Many at the network still remember the announcement as jumping the gun so to speak-- A few short weeks later, the TLC attorneys contacted us and asked if we would consider doing a few 'specials'? We met again as a family... The production team was offering some interesting ideas. …mostly travel related that intrigued the family and offered Amy a chance to climb Mt St Helens among other ideas. --- They promised we would not have to grind out as many episodes (40+) but would just sign us up to a 1 single year "service term" No options to extend and produce 6-8 shows in a 12 month term -- Easy breezy- So by the Fall/Winter 2010 into 2011 we were somewhat reluctantly back to filming- By this point the core Roloff family had completed 6 seasons and several hundred episodes. A nice run by any television standard- We were most pleased that tens of millions of viewers on every content had a somewhat realistic view of life as a Little Person living on a farm in Oregon, USA. After that season of 6 specials... It was pitched to us to do the Wedding Farm season-- Requiring (theoretically) much less disruption to our kids life’s and more focus on the Brides and Grooms we were hosting. That made sense for many reasons so we moved forward with The Wedding Farm season circa 2012. This is WHY I THINK there is some hesitation to announce from TLC that the show is over-- Even though the family as a whole is enjoying being away from it all after 19-20 years-- Caryn and many other family members have publicly stated they are done with filming. - Remember our show is a relationship based program— As more and more family members drift away from the show it becomes more difficult to produce the same content— As much as many of you hate (and we see the comments) about the rifts and strifes between the family members, the better the ratings do— Nobody (they think they do but they don’t) want to watch everything is always happy go lucky and perfect— Viewers want relationship drama and then resolutions. The less relationship interactions are filmed together on camera the harder it is to produce the show- Chris and Caryn coming onboard a helped replace some family members. It's my opinion that you just never know what might happen in the future? I know I can't predict the future-- It's my guess that the network can't either... I do think that TLC did a nice job on the last Tuesday 'season finale' episode hedging their bets and putting a nice button on the show and where the family (members that still participate) stands--- so if LPBW never does come back (in whatever various other forms) I think consensus is they wrapped up the Roloff LPBW crazy train saga pretty good-- That’s why many of you felt it was a series finale. So on this matter of whether last Tuesday was the Last LPBW Show forever?? Nobody really knows at this point-- I feel very content and satisfied with the Run of shows and the journey we shared with you all! The ratings continued to build and stand strong and consistent. We are super proud of that. More importantly then our ratings, I was at a public outdoor concert last night and the love I felt from so many fans was truly amazing-- I took many dozens of selfies with heartfelt fans.. So many stories of lives touched by LPBW. So many thank your for sharing our story. One of the concert's local police officers looked close to tears telling me how he and his late Mother would watch LPBW together in her final days. Wow--- I for one feel good about that. You never know what the future may bring so if you are me-- (and apparently TLC too?) I hate saying goodbye-- Only See ya later ! ...and #lovelove Hopefully this sheds a bit of light on where things stand in terms of the finale last Tuesday 4/23/24--- just my humble opinions. Not authorized to speak on behalf of any other individuals or companies. 2) Farm and family status - and What the Heck happened? As you all know both Jeremy and Zach expressed interest, at virtually the same time, several years ago (Nov 2021) in purchasing the Big house that sits on the North farm. As twins they have always been super competitive but this was one situation that I couldn't let one win over the other. As a father it was extraordinarily complex and I can't say I handled it without some mistakes and missteps. The State of Oregon has incredibly strict rules about dividing land up and splitting (the baby in half) property based on zoning laws. There is only one house on a single tax lot- There were 2 interested parties and one(1) house-- Think about that! Yes-- Money, retirement concerns, loan terms and maintenance responsibility all played a role-- But fairness to all four (4) of my kids and all grandkids played and weighted the heaviest- Keep in mind-- I shrunk the size of the North Farm with the big house for rent/sale and grew larger the land that stays in the trust- It's now 16 acres with the older Big House vs 90+/- acres with my new house and the DW and a dozen barns/sheds etc.-- That's NOW what we all consider The Farm. I feel so blessed, proud and Love each and every one of my children and grandchildren- Jer and Zach each figured out (in their own timing) that the idea of breaking away from me and the farm (as you all know it over past many years) and individually establish their Own homesteads... build their own dreams ... bridges... barns ...shops and projects-- My heart is full to see that process in progress-- It hasn't been easy ... especially all while being filmed...and sometimes even very painful.. but in the end its all been productive and although in hindsight I would change several of my processes... I believe the results are better and I love watching ALL the kids find their independence and passions on their own terms. While Jeremy, Zach and Molly manage their own individual homes, projects and farms... Our youngest who broke away from 'the crazy train' early to go see the world now in a poetic turn of events has returned with his family to an open canvas of opportunity. He's taking great advantage of many possibilities. The 90 + acre farm. He is living and working full time with his wife and son Mateo (named in my honor) on the farm. I understand if you've been watching LPBW 'since the beginning'... you are not as connected to the stories and lives of our 3 average height children-- But Please know they exist and Matter as All 4 of our kids do in the grand scheme of the farm-- So while the Big House / North Farm continues to be a popular tourist (Ha) AirBnB (itrip.net) destination …it sits right adjacent to the larger 90 acres that Me, Caryn and Jacob's family live and work on and run the Pumpkin Festival. Come see us in October-- You get to see all this first hand. 3) Do I see the grandkids? Let me start by saying... Yes it's true.. I don't get to see Zach and his adorable kids nearly as often as any of us would like- We are always welcome to go see them in Battle ground but we don't see them around the farm very often-- I'm very proud of them and the way they raise their family and Zach battling thru illness and building out his own farm is what makes a father so proud to see. I see Jeremy, Audrey and their 3 (soon to be 4) kids often as they live just a mile or 2 from the farm. As many of you that follow them know... They are renovating his house in a similar way that we gutted and remodeled the big house years ago on the LPBW show- The apple didn't fall far from the tree in terms of taking on Big exciting projects like his dad. It's super fun to see his kids pull up to my front door in their little battery powered jeeps asking for a juice box treat from grandpas pantry-- Jeremys and Audrey’s house remodel is a stunning example of the creativity and vision they are both blessed with. Molly loves her private life up in Spokane but we still see her often...Sometimes Caryn and I fly up to northern WA for a weekend visit and often her and Joel come stay either at the big house or at my new house. Molly and Joel were just here last week in AZ staying with us for 4 days enjoying the sun shine and taking in the local wildlife zoo- Always wonderful to Visit with the amazing Molly Jo and hubby Joel. It's hard for me to not talk the most about Jacob. While you all see Zach and his family the most on TV.... I see and talk to Jacob, Izzy and Mateo the most. He has developed over the past 2 1/2 years a burning passion to run and generate his own projects on the farm-- He enjoys milling his own lumber, all things mechanical, setting up the annual pumpkin patch business while planting hundreds of new fruit trees and building gardens that grow their own organic foods and vegetables to feed his family (and me) -- Him and Izzy are passionate about the soil and the environment and they bring me fresh eggs from our chickens every other morning- They live on the farm and are always around working away with little Mateo collecting eggs and helping his dad pull the tools around in his wagon- Mateo and Liam (Caryn's grandson) are very best friends and play and adventure together on the farm frequently. I only wish you all were able to see how alive and vibrant the farm still is for the new generation--- OH Wait-- You can.... Come this October-- Those that came last Oct I'm sure you know what I mean? 4) Is my new house finished and when are we getting married Yes I'm happy to report my dream home is finished-- I moved in just before Christmas in time to host the entire family (including Chris and Amy) for a holiday gathering. Caryn has now sold her home a few miles from the farm and is now living in the new house with me-- We Love it! The accessibility features we had built into the design of this new home make my life unbelievably comfortable— From the perfect secondary (butlers) kitchen to the no step entry and lowered sinks and appliances .. it’s a fantastic home run build. We still love Arizona and plan to split our time 50/50 between the farm and down there. I tell all our friends in AZ ... You'll never see us here in October because we plan on hosting the Roloff Farm Pumpkin Festival for as long as possible.- I apologize i haven't shown more photos of our new house and i'll endeavor to do that soon-- We barely got moved in and settled and then bolted down south for our Spring sunshine trip to AZ-- Speaking of moving-- A quick update on my mother- In March she decided to relocate from AZ back up to Portland to be close to the farm and all the Grandkids-- Although Caryn and I miss seeing her down here in AZ we love seeing her more often in Oregon and all the grands take turns visiting her there as well-- We're currently planning a nice Mothers day event in Oregon. Still no news on a wedding date-- lol. We are loving life and the current status-- Between getting the house finished, wrapping up LPBW filming, moving my mother and all the other things that life throws at you we haven't had much time to really sit down and plan anything-- I imagine we will start working on that soon- But no date or location has been set yet— but actively gathering ideas. 5) Hows my health I'm feeling healthier and happier than I have in years-- While everyone is busy as can be up North-- Caryn and I are enjoying some time in the Sun down at our Arizona get-away- We get up in the am-- She often goes over to see her folks a few blocks away- while I conference call with Jacob about farm business and then work on my computer a few hours--- Then we love to go float in the cool pool in the heat of the day before sitting on our back patio relishing in the dry warm desert climate-- Both Caryn and I are feeling very happy together enjoying our best life-- As far as the LPBW show goes... We think it had a wonderful record setting run-- educated tens of millions (maybe even hundreds of millions) of people across the globe… Normalizing to many, that people with differences are just like everyone else-- With varied opinions, personalities, goals, dreams and successes and failures -- We're just people like You and your families. The show may or may not be done in the current format for ever more... but either way I for one thoroughly enjoyed sharing a large part of my life journey with you and hope to meet you all in person one day along life's trail. Thanks to You all for sharing so much love and support to our family over so many years! Without You we would never have been able to change to Worlds perception of Little People— I feel like a Big Person in a Little World thanks to You.

EJ wasn't wrong today. Paulina and her radiation affected first responders and she's still not sorry at all or gets it.

You're welcome :) Any details you can think of to share? Plot, cast, anything?

I posted this in the speculation thread but thought I'd post it here, it's the episode description for next week. Also the link from Reddit speculates that Q and Kenzie are at least two to go on reward (I don't know if either of them won or if they just got picked by the winner-though I have a hard time believing anyone would pick Q to go along on the reward). So I would think that Liz likely doesn't win or get picked for the reward and that the outburst might be from her. I also wonder if whoever was yelling "you blew up my game" is the outburst from the reward (if Q takes Tiffany and Kenzie, as an example, Tiffany might go off on him). I did wonder, if Tiffany is the one that says that, if she gets blindsided at TC and goes off on Q on her way out. I guess we'll see if they hype this TC at all. I am leaning towards it being Venus this week, though. Unless it's going to be a very predictable Q vote and this description tries to make it seem like it might be someone else. https://www.reddit.com/r/SpoiledSurvivor/comments/1ce2rss/46speculation_wins_reward/

Well...it's a quiet Friday night and I was searching for something to watch on TV (we don't have any premium channels) and, voila! I found Tootsie. The second half (where I came in) is the best part IMO. Great actors, whether stars or characters.

Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes! In the most recent episode of YS we see Sheldon and his Dad being very sweet together when they go to MIT (well the airport on the way to MIT) and that made me wonder about that moment in the earlier episode where Sheldon seems to think he has seen his father with another woman. So? Did Sheldon know that the blond woman was Mary in a wig? Because otherwise he seems awfully chummy with George considering he thought his father was cheating on his mother!

Victoria, Michael, Cole and Victor discussing the call from Claire. Michael wants wonders if it's an act. Cole and Victoria mad that Michael thinks Claire in on it with Jordan. Victor wants all to calm down. Victoria says one person who can help is dead. Cole and Victoria go to the motel. Michael wants Victor to tell him again about Jordan death. Michael not letting it go, he knows who he is and there's a lot of story he's not telling. Victor swears he had nothing to do with her death. Cole and Victoria find a doll in the motel. They find keys in the doll. They search for something else, map.. Victoria says she seen the keys before. Nikki at Jack's telling him about the call from Claire. She says Claire and Harrison wouldn't have been kidnapped if it wasn't for her and Summer overhears. Nikki tells her about the poison taking, Claire wanted her to leave her to die. She says she called 911, Summer doesn't understand why she did. Nikki says she wanted her to face punishment and not die in front of them. She tells Summer to blame her. Summer says no it's only Jordan. Adam and Chelsea at Adams for phone call with Connor. Chelsea is really annoying, giving Adam ground rules. Then getting annoyed and yelling at him. They have the call. He's not in talkative mood, Adam asks a lot of questions and Chelsea says they have time. Doc teaching him not to get so impatient with himself. To deal with it how hard it is. Adam asks if everything is struggle isn't ok to tune out. Connor tells him no and explains why, Adam says there's a lot he doesn't know. Needs him to explain and tell him to zip it. He has a new friend and he's playing soccer again. He says it all right there and he just wants to get better and come home. Adam says he dissociation too. He blocked out periods of his childhood. Chelsea says they have to be strong and unified. Adam reminds her he is their dna and everything they are being eaten by him. Adam tells her to say how she really feels, not with buzz words. She says she's terrified. She blames himself. They hug it out. Lauren and Nikki at coffee house. Lauren tells her get some sleep and go straight home. Jack and Summer. Jack want to know how she really feels. Her son is bolting awake, he may be scared for life . What is she supposed to say when hearing it could have been avoided. He tells her don't tell Nikki that, she's fragile. She did intend to. Nikki got a room at the club and bottle of vodka in her purse. Party time! Nice tribute photo to Meg Bennet at the end.

Next week's episode description: I feel like this might allude to a couple of things we saw in the previews: Maria approaching Q about targeting someone else and wanting to make a big move, and the outburst could be Liz. If this is a reward where she doesn't win or get picked by the winner, that might be her "what the heck ho-bags" quote (if this is a food reward she might be upset they didn't pick her knowing she's limited already what she can eat) and the shot of her crying by the water.

A Rap Tour in a motorhome, across New England? (I know I'm mixing my LAL rap stars up :D )

Well, bunkies, that's a wrap! Thanks for all the laughs! Have a fantastic weekend and make sure you get me my Louis Vuitton bag and tacky tourist tat from every roadside stand between here and Arizona. Love you all bunches, MWAH!

'Night, Bunkies! See you next week. Enjoy the weekend!

What just happened? Rob’s first prison boo was more communicative with mom?

Boy, Tennie spent a lot of time wandering around to flounce out the front door of that teeny tiny restaurant.

Well, that was a fun first episode - even with all the exposition dumps. I admit I did have to double check which boy was which from the Doom Patrol episode. Looks like this will fill the void left by the cancellation of Lockwood & Co until this too gets cancelled. And as much as I enjoyed this episode, it did highlight that this is a show I will have to watch when the sun is up.

Fastest hour of the week just went by. Love to snark with the best in the business. Have a super duper weekend, everyone, and apply your false eyelashes with care. Later.

I'm learning a lot tonight. Until next week, my Bunkies

Again, no previews. What's up with that? Till next time.

sneakers?

Rob has a "business", wink wink.

you are the parent .. you are older then her .. why the fuck does she need to reach out to you because your son wanted money back?
