    Sweet baby Jesus, Jill is doing yet ANOTHER Plexus reset next week. If it worked, why does she have to do it every. damn. month? 

    Whoever is working in the Plexus labs inventing those pink concoctions must be making a fortune.  I am convinced that normal Plexus usage is designed to make its users gain weight somehow, and the rah-team-go Zoom meetings are to convince them that if they are gaining weight/feel gross on normal Plexus, then they must be doing something wrong and need to re-set.  Janelle and Christine Brown from Sister Wives used to also frequently talk about their Plexus re-sets.  If it works as good as it's supposed to, why would anyone need a "re-set?"  It's all marketing BS to get more money out of these people, and it's actually kind of sad.

    Also, wow - Nathan KELLER got one of the bestest Mahmo birthday tributes that I can recall in quite some time!  I guess all that picking up the Olive Garden check really counted for something, right?  Congrats on becoming ONE OF US!

    Jill doesn't drive because she can't put her phone down long enough to do so. 

    It's just very difficult to both steer a huge wobbly rust-bucket full of waifs down the Ohio Turnpike at 90 in a 70 zone, and also manage to shoot majestic panoramic videos of those neat "You Are Now Entering..." state signs, along with stunning views of....other parts of the turnpike, I guess.

    The only person I can stand is Hunter. 

    I can very much relate to Hunter in that I too would be unable to hide my misery at sharing a camp with people who love to chew the scenery by serenading the tribe with camp songs that no one asked for.  I also laughed at how he seemed to sit like a confused, angry statue at that knee-slapper of a tribal council like he was wishing he was back in his garage working on his latest Survivor puzzle creation and maybe not actually playing the game for real with these crazy people.

    When 75% of the players are acting so over-the-top as to be unbelievable, I will root for the ones that seem to be actually playing the game as it was meant to be played - so I guess I am on team Charlie, Maria and Venus?  Idk.

    Old School >>> New Era.  Not all changes are good changes.

    Dude. You think this is "vibing"? This poor woman just wants to get out of the house. 

    OH MY GOD I AM CRINGING SO HARD RIGHT NOW. SHE DOES NOT WANT TO KISS YOU! 

    I blacked out during the kissing scene...did I hear him say something about not using tongue??

  5. So Nick's plan is to keep acquiring wives two by two so the women can keep marrying each other, while he lounges at home and shops for bigger beds?  That's not polygamy, and it's not really polyamory, right?  If he just wants to collect wives, I'm not getting why they have to marry each other.

    I am new to this show - my favorite podcaster does recaps and I had to see for myself.  But I am a Day One Sister Wives watcher and something about the behavior of many of these men is so weird to me (shocker).  Justin, Naeem, Shane - they all seem so badly to want another wife, but when their original wives go girl shopping for them and they finally meet face to face, it's like the men sit there like deer in headlights, mumbling "heh heh" like Beavis and/or Butthead, staring at their wives to get things going while they act like they'd rather be anywhere but at a table with their wife and potential side-piece.  If they want another "wife" so bad, their mannerisms sure show the opposite.  It's like they all want the thrill of the chase but once Wifey brings a real-life Lady #2 to the table, they want to turn tail and run back to their blanket fort because girls are scary.

    I mean, Kody Brown is nothing to aspire to but at least he was the leader (in his own mind).  All of these men, hands down, proclaim to want the women without any of those silly hormonal emotions.  How any of them found even one woman to commit to them is beyond comprehension.

    Tevin was mad he didn't get credit for the Soda blindside but he voted for Venus. Because with Soda on the jury, he can honestly say he didn't vote for her? Can't have it both ways.

    Since my tv screen shrinks the end credits of Survivor to the size of a postage stamp, I didn't realize that Tevin didn't vote Soda.  I swear I am mostly paying attention, but wasn't it his idea?  So he got everyone on board, and then didn't vote for her in order to get her jury vote?  Seems like an idea that might have some serious blowback.

    Soda was way too gracious during her exit and she lingered a little too long. 

    I agree, she seemed to be making a pretty theatrical exit.  And why did she get applause on her way out?  Reserve that for Queen Sandra.  Was Soda just that beloved or were they applauding themselves for getting her out?  Or maybe trying to applaud her off the stage, like when the music starts playing over the Oscar winner who won't stop talking?

    Charlie is the prettier one; Ben is the scruffier one 😃

    Charlie looks like Anthony Perkins, circa Psycho.  No, I'm not that old, I've seen it on tv.

    Venus reminds me Rachel Campos (aka Mrs. Sean Duffy) from RW San Francisco. Shut up, you're old.

    But I am this old, and I agree.  And Maria's voice had me wondering who she reminded me of until it clicked that she sounds just like Cristina, the cop, from Ozzy's tribe on Cook Islands (my favorite season).

    Liz - bring your bag next time.  It's a really bad look.

    Has there been a time where Jill was actually near the birthday child while the family sang happy birthday? She hung onto Janessa for this one.

    Normally Jill is the one shoving her camera in everyone's faces while the embarrassed birthday child stands with a frozen smile in front of his/her Twinkie with a candle in it, but this time Jill was all over Janessa.  She is going to baby that child something fierce.  Janessa might end up the least educated of all the Rods, by Jill's own devices.

  8. This is something, even for Jill.

    What I noticed about her video...the girls were constantly pulling up the sleeves of their pinafores because they were clearly too big.  It also looked like Jill had pulled the dresses from the bottom of her unwashed laundry bin because they were both very wrinkled.  Also, summer frocks over black long-sleeved t-shirts is a "look," but sadly, not a good one.

    Janessa was clearly scared to be sitting next to the animated Chuck.  Jill even wrote over the video that Janessa was "nervous."  When freaky Chuck-E turned to "look" at Janessa, her face showed fright and she tried to move away but was forced to smile for Jill's video.  Jill.  Is.  AWFUL.

    50% of the video, probably taken by the other waif whose name escapes me, was of Jill and her Hunk (hands off, ladies, he's taken) shooting hoops and playing video games.  I thought they were there for Janessa's birthday?

    That was one sad video.  At least the little waifs got some pizza.

    Based on her writing "style" and musical "ability" I can just imagine the quality of the songs she writes.

  10. I admit that I have been listening to Rachel's podcast and I think she's been doing a good job at giving her side of the story.  In the most recent episode she's talking with Jo.  If I wasn't particularly a Jo fan before, I am now.  The hateful treatment of her by the other women gives pretty disturbing middle-school mean girl vibes towards the girl who is a little bit quirky and unique.

    Jo's funniest line so far was, "If Schwartz were dating a tree, Katie would chop it down."

  11. I agree with airing whatever they've got in the can now and then ending the show.  It would seem that if they kept on going, Garrison's passing would have to be addressed in the season to follow, and for the sake of the kids - adults or not - who had no say in having their lives documented for entertainment, the Brown parents need to put an end to the filming.  There are no Sister Wives anymore.  Even a Janelle/Christine or solo Christine spin-off would be pointless.  Certainly Kody and Robyn can't carry a show on their own.  Time to bow out.

  12. Why do Tim and Heidi need 6 apparatuses for making coffee?  I mean I get that it seems to be Heidi's thing, but she'd better make darn sure she lives at least 100 miles away from her future mother-in-law, otherwise Jill will be over there with her waifs ordering skinny vanilla lattes with a dusting of cinnamon and extra whipped cream from Tim every other day until he has to file for bankruptcy.

    As for Jill giving anyone a lecture about the proper use of a smart phone..... 🤐

     

    EDIT: I thought about it for a minute and realize that I also have a drip coffee maker, an electric kettle and a French press, so... 🙃

  13. Schwartz's hair might not look so stupid if he didn't seem to be styling it with melted butter and axel grease.  In the dark.

    I kind of dig Jo showing up for her confessionals in leggings and a t-shirt with minimal makeup and regular hair, as opposed to some of the questionable fashion statements from Katie, Sandoval, etc.  And when Jo asked Schwartz if he was embarrassed by her, his "NO!" didn't seem at all convincing to me.  She deserves way better.

    It's quite obvious why Q and Tevan don't like her (Venus). She's smart. She's a woman. She doesn't accept them as her lords and masters. To be sure, she would be doing a lot better if she would tone down the abrasive side of her personality, and she could use a bit more self-awareness, but I love that she takes no shit from anyone.

    I like Venus for these reasons.  The men are aware that she's not going to follow their instructions and then it becomes a dog-pile situation where Q at the water well is pontificating like "that's it then I am voting Venus and that's just how it's going to be, period, that's it, that's the decision, end of story."  Man, get Q a win, some fire and half a blueberry muffin and suddenly he's running the show.  I'd like to see him leave sooner rather than later.

    That makes you a superfan in my book.  I forget them totally within 24 hours.  I have no idea whatsoever who won last season.  And I really have no reason to want to know.

    Old School - I can pretty much recall the winners and place most of the cast on their correct season from season 1 - 40.

    New School - I was listening to RHAP recently and Rob was discussing some NS players...Gabe?  Lydia?  Matt?  And I'd have to look them up to remember who they were if I cared (but I don't).

     Even if they're just talking about papaya or whatever, there's all this dramatic music pounding.

    Look, you don't know that papaya's backstory and what it had to do to find its way to a tree in Fiji.

    I get sick of rewinding too and usually watch the challenges on mute with closed captioning because Jeff's non-stop banshee screaming makes me want to kill.

    100% agree, but I miss his old banshee-screaming shtick like, "Penner!  Talking back to me!"  Or "Get a load of this guy, can't even make it up the rope wall!  He's literally the slowest person we have ever had on this show, what an utter disaster for the Blue Tribe!"  Now he's all "Sunshine and rainbows! THAT'S how you do it on Survivor!"  I miss Snarky Jeff.  But I think he's gone forever.

    As for Kootie, surely he can sit for an hour or so by himself, surrounded by the rest of his family members?  He is in his 50s, right?  Or maybe showing his love for Robyn by groping her knee was just the right kind of support he needed during his son's memorial. 

    This bugged me, along with Kody not sitting in between his own mother and Robyn.  I saw the snarky comments, and I understand why the comments were made, but those pictures that the National Guard published (and I am not clear on whether or not Janelle okay'd that beforehand) should have had the comments turned off.

    But I found the body language interesting, as usual.  David and Christine were holding hands, as were Logan and Michelle and Aspyn and Mitch.  There was no actual need for Kody to grip Robyn's knee in the front row, in my useless opinion.  Both Kody and Robyn could've taken a hot second and reflected on how that physical demonstration might appear to Janelle and the rest of the family.  It could have been a simple adjustment to holding hands for support.  The hand on the knee seemed out of place for the somber, sad occasion.  Either those two have absolutely zero self-awareness, or they honestly just don't care.

    They also probably pray strangers leave pennies by Sandy the horse so baby/toddler Janessa can use them all for rides.

    (people always leave pennies by the horse at our meijer)

    Came here to say this.  So each kid probably gets to share a couple of scoops of Superman ice cream with their siblings, followed by a ride on Sandy, regardless of how old they are - while the customers give a wide berth to the crazy blonde lady screeching at her kids to smile while she films them each taking a turn on the horsey and the employees are like, oh no - they're back.

    Janessa no longer has a nursery (crib), she has a bedroom (bed). It was a surprise for her and she had no choices available to her. I didn’t realize her room was off the hall by the kitchen, I thought it was off Jill and David’s room.

    An electrical nightmare…..

    I don't know why I feel the need to look so closely at these pictures that Jill posts but they are oddly fascinating.

    In addition to the highly inappropriate "memorial wall" in a child's bedroom, I notice what looks like a doll's detached head in a bucket, a flat yellowed pillow on a shelf that Jill is keeping for reasons?  And why does a 6 year old need an industrial-type clock in her room - something you would see at a bank?

    Outside her room in the hallway, what am I looking at - a lighted set of shelves containing Willow Tree figurines?  What is this woman's obsession with lamps and cabinet/shelf lighting in multiple spaces of every single room?  How is their electric bill not $15,000 a month?

    I always did like those "hidden pictures" pages in my Highlights magazines as a kid...this is the twisted and scary version of that, I guess?
