All these people are assholes, but Elisa and Kenya are serious users. Mike and Tiger need to get out and find someone else. Mike in particular always seems very beaten down.

The sudden need to move to Utah RIGHT NOW always seemed a little odd to me. Kody neglects his kids all the time, but he misses Ysabel's surgery and suddenly Christine is heartbroken and needs to run away. I hate to say it, but I think its totally possible Christine met David BEFORE deciding to leave Kody for sure. I don't have any evidence of this except that she suddenly had a desperate need to relocate to Utah that never really made sense because it happened so fast. And of course Christine would never admit that because it makes her look a lot less sympathetic, and her MLM businesses boomed based on the perception others had of her as a victim. She also got a cooking show because of the same perception. And if Christine was already dating, Kody's paranoia over her meeting someone else make a lot more sense.

I have a close friend who did something very similar to what Christine is doing, and it didn't end well at all. The sooner you declare yourselves to be "soulmates", the more likely it is the relationship is doomed. I wonder if she is rushing this to try and get a spinoff show from TLC.

And really, Christine is just not that intelligent or emotionally mature. She has always benefited from how awful Kody and Robyn and Meri are in terms of how she comes across on the show. On her own, its more apparent how dysfunctional she is. Her version of strong, independent woman is cashing in on her questionable fame through MLMs and then getting remarried as soon as possible. And I don't think she is putting Truely's needs first. Truely just suffered through a divorce and a huge move. Now she has to adjust to a new stepfather. Maybe David will pay to get Truely some health insurance.

Or, all 5 Brown adults spent every penny as it was coming in, so there's not much left. Big houses, nice cars, all those trips Christine and Janelle took during the pandemic. Plus everyday expenses for 18 kids. The only one who tried to save on housing costs in Flagstaff was Janelle. The other 4 rented or bought huge houses they didn't need. Kody is an ass, but all 5 of them appear to be incredibly bad with money.

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I read an article about the Dad and I read the comments here. My father had a mini-stroke and then a real stroke several months later. It is scary and horrible, but if he's able to talk on the phone, it sounds like it wasn't a super bad one. They need to pull their shit together and stop making everything about themselves. They need to focus on getting their dad help to prevent another stroke, not wail and cry on the phone without contributing anything. Side note: Who is actually parenting poor Aspyn now that Aniko is away at college?

And she said it more than once. I'm horrified that she's my age. She clearly has no idea what to look for in a real long-term relationship that will last. The matchmaker was right about that. If she wants to be a sugar mama, that's fine, but the trainer guy is not interested in her long-term. I would bet he wants to get on television.

I watched the latest episode. Darcy and Stacy's lips are reaching cartoon-level plumpness. And Darcy's approach to dating and relationships is like an over-sexed teenage girl. I'm surprised they were allowed to film at Aniko's dorm.

Christine never seems to be home. How is she funding all these trips?

I stopped looking at Christine's Instagram. I never thought Christine came across as all that mature, or as some really great mom. She always benefited from how awful Kody and Robyn and Meri came across, because she looks great by comparison. A spinoff of just Christine would be a disaster. She's not all that. If I was Truely and in middle school, I would be horrified by my mother over-sharing like that on social media, and by my family's dysfunction being shown on television. Poor kid.

It's not like Jinger is working 12 hour days at a factory. They are living off the fame from the lifestyle Jinger grew up in, which is the same lifestyle they are now saying is a cult. They might also have monetized Jinger's Instagram (no idea how that actually works though). I just hope they have a long term plan, because the money from this fame isn't going to last. People are going to lose interest eventually.

If Carlin is well enough to go on a cruise, why hasn't Evan gone back to work? There hasn't been a health update in a while. Carlin was supposed to go for some kind of test as an in-patient in the hospital, and they said it takes a long time to schedule, but now they never mention it. Should someone who has seizures be on a boat in the middle of the ocean?

Darcey is a train wreck, but Cicero cancelled the first date at the very last minute and then bailed on the second date after one drink. I don't know what his game is, but I've online dated a lot, and Cicero was not serious. I want to know how much this matchmaker got paid. I know people who went to matchmaking services, and found it more expensive and no better than online dating on your own. So I give the side-eye to the Matchmaker. The reality at our age (Darcey and I are the same age, God help me) is that you have to sift through MANY people to find the match at this point. Cicero struck me as a player wasting time. But so does Florian.

Outside of filming, I don't think most of the family has spent much time together in years. And I think Kody was correct when he said a few of Christine's kids are close with a few of Janelle's kids, and that's about it. They are 4 separate households, and always came across more like cousins than siblings to me. If you watch their Instagrams, they're not really spending all that much time with other half-siblings. And a lot of the kids are now scattered around the country. Not to mention whatever seems to have happened between Janelle and Christine recently to stop the Best Friends Forever Instagram love train. That has probably affected the kids too.

I feel like their stuff is okay but not unique. I could find those jeans at JC Penney for less money on sale.

So now Darcy is resorting to OnlyFans to make money? That is a whole new level of sad.

If Darcy was capable of behaving like an adult, there wouldn't be a show. Did Georgi say he is investing in real estate? Where is he getting that kind of money? A masseuse doesn't make that kind of money.

All reality shows have things that are staged, and I'm sure this show is no different. But all we can go on is what they show us.

I did online dating for years, and Cicero is showing some red flags. First he cancels their first date at the very last minute. Then he shows up for the second date but bails early. Ever read the book "He's Just Not That Into You"? Cicero is not all that smitten with Darcy. And I don't think it's because she cried, as pathetic as that was. Either he's just not that into Darcy, or he's not that into dating in general and is hoping to fill time and get a booty call. The Matchmaker should be addressing his flakiness, for all the money she is likely getting paid. At least Darcy's date outfit was reasonably nice. I have to give her credit for that. It was a lot better than what she wore for the first meetup with Cicero. And I think Aspyn and Aniko are reasonably cute girls. I hope they don't go down the plastic surgery route like their mother. I still say Darcy will be back together with Georgi before the end of the season.

I saw hoodies on sale this weekend at Kohls in bright colors. There is no difference between those and what Darcy and Stacey are trying to sell. People need to stop trying to break into already saturated industries. And does anyone else think the House of Eleven log appears to say Hell? I can't believe Darcy is going to cry during yet another date. Its like her trademark from the very beginning when she was dating Jesse. I want to ask her ex-husband if she cried during dates with him too.

Did Jinger say that going to Ben's church started her on the path out of the IBLP, because Ben's church studied the actual Bible or something? I'm asking because Ben and Jessa appear to follow IBLP (homeschooling, having baby after baby with no family planning), so I found it odd that Jinger said Ben's church led her to eventually leave IBLP.

I just wasted a few minutes of my life watching Avalon dump baby formula onto her hands and then wipe it on Mykelti's face and her own face. From Mykelti's comments, it seems this is something Avalon is just doing these days. I guess their discipline is a bit lax? I wouldn't be surprised if Mykelti parents like Christine did. With 3 kids under the age of 2, they might want to get a better handle on things before the boys are up and running around too.

I didn't think the modeling agents were mean at all. It's a business, not a charity. How you look is the interview, since the photos are all based on appearance. Florian's poses and expressions were stiff and awkward, and he is way too pale to get a modeling job in Florida. And he showed up unprepared with no headshots or anything. If he wants to be a professional model, he needs to work at it. But I suspect he doesn't want any job at all, from his attitude. I think he is waiting until divorcing Stacy won't result in him being deported, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's on social media already lining up another Sugar Mama. The matchmaker needs to concentrate on getting Darcy to date her own age, and not focus on her outfits. Darcy's personality is set, and you're not going to turn her into someone else at this point. I thought her date was a pretty good match for her in looks and background. I would bet a million dollars that Darcy and Georgi are getting back together. She hasn't learned her lesson, and I can tell she doesn't like the idea of dating a normal-looking dude her own age. Georgi will be back.

There were about 12 kids in the house for a long time, which is approaching a Duggar-size family. So I'm thinking tator tot casserole and Kraft Mac-n-Cheese (one box costs a dollar)-type meals. Christine was doing most of the daily parenting, and I'm thinking she wasn't taking the time to scramble eggs or cut fresh veggies for 12 kids. Janelle probably thinks Plexus makes up for all that. If Maddie started selling eggs, at least she would be selling something safe to ingest.

They're going to have to give her a storyline, and it doesn't appear that Meri sees any of the other family members on a regular basis. Maybe they will show her having more "deep" conversations with Robyn, or arguing things out with Kody. Regardless, I suspect the upcoming season will be full of boring filler material from all the wives. From their social media, there isn't much going on that I would really be interested in.
