I cannot believe that Mark and Cary are doing his (their) practice any help by being on this show. He may be a great plastic surgeon (I don't know if he is or isn't) but he is coming across as a bit of a loon on this show. I would want my plastic surgeon to be competent and sane. As far as Brian, if he didn't want his life filmed prior to this episode he is really going to be unhappy after this episode. As detached as he seems to be from Brandi, her reveal of his less then hygienic housekeeping habits is not going to help them grow closer. Don't these new RH cast members watch any of the older RH shows before signing on to be on a new show? Just a few episodes of any other RH franchise would let them know the amount of their personal life that will be revealed. And Brandi.... p.s. The talking head scenes will be shown on film. They aren't just a private chat between you and the producer.

I just wonder if somehow they planned on the due date being the same as their anniversary. Probably not (neither seems that smart, honestly) but it does feel a little too cutesy and coincidental. Jessa's due date could be anywhere from mid-October to mid-November and they could have made the decision to say it was November 1st just to try to add to the fun/cute factor. You know, Jill had the honeymoon baby but Jessa gets the "born on the first anniversary" baby!

If I am remembering correctly Betty Jo said she weighed 400 and something pounds when she met Josh at age 17. Given that during their relationship she gained 250 pounds and he clearly sees his role as her caregiver I am wondering if her weight gain was caused by his (perhaps purposeful) over-feeding of her. His attitude will have to change or her row to hoe is going to be a lot tougher... She thinks she can't lose weight without him; the reality may be she can't lose weight with him.

so much to talk about with this episode, but I can't let this one thing go as I experienced it so much myself when my children were young..... Dear Kali, You OWE it to Isaac to be positive about his time with his father. You don't have to love that he is going and I get that it is hard to say good-bye, but he is going to pick up on your emotions and your attitude over his trips to visit his father and he does not deserve to have to watch you fall apart over him leaving, especially since it is not his fault or his decision that he is going. Suck it up and keep your emotions in check, even if you have to fake it, and be positive for him. Remind him (and yourself) that he will have fun with his father and will get to do new and different things and that the six weeks will fly by and that he will be home in no time. It is okay to tell him that you will miss him and that you love him, but don't dwell on it. When you talk to him while he is gone ask him what he is doing, don't focus on what he is missing at your house as that is not fair to him. Over time the seperations get easier and you will be doing what is best for your son. He deserves a relationship with both of his parents! Signed, Someone that has been there

What was up with the end of that show? Robin's important message was that the phone was ringing. Aargh! I feel like we are being taken for a ride.

Due to the money they earn on the show and their quasi-star status, these girls are far removed from the normal teen Mom life. In fact this show, as entertaining as it is, is much more in line with a show like Keeping up with Kardashians....I.e. every season someone has to get married, someone has to get divorced, someone has to become pregnant, someone has to move, someone has to have a drug problem, etc. if they don't keep the new plot lines coming, interest in them dies down and eventually the show will be cancelled. I kind if wonder if they get together between seasons and make decisions on what is next for each character... The only thing they are missing is a Kris Jenner character to oversee them all. :)

The preview bothered me also. Especially the part where it appears one of the wives is explaining why they decided to be polygamous and she says something like this.... "Tom (or whatever the husband is called) wanted me to sit on the sofa and hold his hand while he watched TV but I wanted to bake cookies instead so I thought, hmmm.... What if there were two of me?" Seriously? This is the logic behind the polygamous decision. Stop the madness!

Maddie mentioning they need the money so the older kids can go to college was telling. It seems like the teens have been told this and then encouraged (or perhaps it was an organic comment ) to repeat this as to encourage sympathy from the viewers.
