Ice cream competition in Anna's backyard. T+A get their salsa outfits tailored. Alex and Emma are traumatized by a preview of their parents' sexy and cringe dance for the upcoming LPA convention in Austin, TX. You've been warned. I lost brain cells watching this episode. You've been warned.

Total switch and bait from last episode's tease. Yuck alert....the episode opens by revisiting the T+A body painting segment, fresh trauma! Jonah expresses his love for Ashley with a rack of ribs. She does her best to daintily eat the bbq. Lots of eating for Ashley in this visit. Highlight: Junior prom for Emma with Cousin Ella as her date. Alex with his gf, Allie who flew in from the farm. The robotic twins, Ryan and Sean who are spiffy in the suits and bow ties. Emma looked especially stylish in her pink gown. More boring T+A marriage/couples junk. Hope that is a TLC production crew driving the 15 year old Allie to Atlanta Airport and not some rando Uber driver, otherwise Alex should have driven her to her flight. Skip this episode.

Not proud of myself but I watched the latest episode, all nonsense filler. Amber puts a target on Emma, portraying her as a lonesome loser. Anna is a danger at the stove. Liz plays older sister to Emma, avoids making her feel like a total loser, unlike Amber. Alex has the Doublemint Twins as besties. Rut roh cliff hanger. Hint: Brice looking sheepish.

Coast is clear for those of you with sensitive gag reflex...no sex or bedroom hijinks in this episode. This is the set up episode for this season...Spoiler alerts! Joshua and his Delta 8 buddy, Brian are going to compete in a BBQ competition June 2023. T+A are learning to salsa for the LPA talent show in Austin, like they don't get enough attention and are hogs of the spotlight. Alex is having Allie come to his prom. Emma has nothing. Anna's storyline is her new house. Hope the TLC crew is using a decoy house for exterior shots like the Kardashians use to keep the crazies away from Anna's front lawn. Liz is hurting, weepy, teary eyed, welled up from breakup with Brice. With Leighton Drew' birthdate of 11/3 that means Liz was preggers with Brice's spawn when she threw his unromantic ass out and he vamoosed back to his parents' house. That will be a very special episode when Anna and Emma go buy pregnancy test kits at The Dollar General so Liz can pee on the stick. Anyone else hoping for a shotgun wedding, hillbilly style?

Jealous Amber breaking out the photo album of how she rescued Anna from the Russian orphanage to pat herself on the back every time Anna surpasses low expectations. Pathetic how Amber has to always be the center of attention. Nice that Trent and Josh are supportive of Anna risking Amber's jealous ire.

Come on...skip the vomit inducing T and A bedroom antics and enjoy Anna's double middle fingers to her parents by being the first of the kids to buy a house with her hard earned money. They smuggly wrote Anna off in high school as the bad apple and she gets to say FU by acquiring a nice home with a big backyard for her doggies. Liz's reaction to losing the house race to Anna is to have a baby.. Anna is the smartest tool in that Johnston shed of dopes afraid of Amber.

Bueller? Bueller? No one's watching the 7 with me?

Calling it early...the baby will be given a hillbilly nickname because Leighton is too la-di-da, much too hard for Trent to learn to spell. Wanna bet they are gonna build a place on the Johnston compound since Brice's family lives down the road...easier for TLC film crews.

Season 2 Australia announced. As bleak as Tasmania was visually, the South Island of NZ is not. Epic trip hiking all over the South Island before the tiktokers invaded. Alone UK next please.

Eel sniffing. Gina came into the show with the better game plan and it paid off. Reunion show next week and Mike is the one I am most interested in hearing how he processed his experience. Alone is still my favorite show of this genre.

Supposition of how it happened.... Scurrying to her pee spot, Gina locks eyes with the wallaby. Gina tackles and dispatches the pademelon with a nearby rock/log. Himalayan salt and smoke to preserve the meat. Mike came so close to trapping his pademelon. Consolation prize was a nice trout. Best episode reveals what animal Gina is ripping and gnawing flesh.

Michael moves and weeps. Mike swims in that tannic broth in attempt to unsnag his fishing lines. Gina doing the muddy work to dreg her fishing spot. No reveal yet of whose ribs she is ripping off the flesh in the tease. Zzzzz.

3 more black holes....oy vey.

Another episode where they take turns giving each other insincere compliments. The blond compensates for not losing weight by wearing bigger and bigger hats so she looks smaller optically. The brown haired one is winning....excuse me, TWINNING because she dropped a few lbs. She loves to lord it over her the blond who was always smaller. Another redo stuffed to the gills of doodads from their warehouse. The contractor who has to remove all that wall tile can curse Lamb&Co. That playhouse was too small for the winner.

Mike could have used his knit hat to corral the eel or flung it wildly on shore by scooping it instead of half hearted attempts to grab the slimey wiggler with his hands. The Tasmanian variety are short finned fresh water eels, not electric eels seen on Naked and Afraid... Maybe he was so addled with hunger he couldn't react to land it. Pademelon turned ninja walking through the trip line then a Tasmanian Devil gnawing and marking the whole gizmo with scent rendering it useless to attract other animals, just mocking him on the game cam...the only half interesting few minutes of this episode.
