I feel this in my soul.

Me too. I also think she's gone to Libby's School of Added Screen Time. Tone it down, Natalie. Like, a LOT.

In both seasons the show has shown pictures of Natalie, in either summer or spring, standing in front of the red awning behind Mike's house. I think this is all bullshit and she's been there to see him before.

There's a guy who's part of a religious group who travels to Africa and removes jiggers from people's feet. They're volunteers and do it basically with pocket knives. It's amazing. I feel so sorry for the people. I got into that from watching this. https://youtube.com/c/JimNduruchiRUS

No shit, my 9yo daughter inspects my back, legs, and scalp once a week, checking for something weird that she can nominate me to the show for. She's hopeful about a small piece of winer on my shoulder.

He's a single dude in his 30s who just bought back his family's land. He's barely been there for 2 years. Maybe he likes his modular home and wants to stay in it. Maybe he has plans to build and it's temporary. Regardless of size and curb appeal, you can make anything look homey. It's on a beautiful piece of land and has potential. My mom is moving from a nearly 5,000sq ft house to a 550sq ft tiny house we built on our farm. Shoebox or not, it's a home and she loves it.

The original Amazon registry had a due date of August. It was public. It was only changed after people started posting about it.

If it were me I'd have done put one of my friends on Reddit and had them share "theories" about the relationship between my buddy Casey and his fake girlfriend, Jitney Shore...

I wish there were more episodes after next week. It's just now really starting to get me interested.

We're going to be forced to watch even more fish out of water hijinks, aren't we? I refuse to believe that Julia and Brandon didn't talk about farm life beforehand.

Lol. In a town he doesn't live in, working a job we didn't know he had. Honestly, it's crazy bullshit like this that keeps me tuning in.

I'm pretty sure most everything they do is at TLC's behest. That was part of my problem with it. "We needed to get out of the house and see each other" was really "if we don't get together and film some shit then they're going to cancel our show." It was still their choice to travel and film. It was still irresponsible. Reality "stars" don't get a pass or hold any other type of immunity.

I kinda feel the same way I did about Kim Kardashian and her island birthday party. Most likely they were all fine. (And since none of them seemed to get COVID then we can assume it was okay). I still find it a little socially irresponsible, though, to film such a thing during a pandemic. They don't film 24/7, if they really wanted to just get together then they could've chosen to do this off camera. Not only did they have to worry about each other, but there was a production crew to consider as well. Even though we weren't officially on lockdown, things were still bad. We were still being advised to socially distance and not to travel. Apparently even Heather felt uncomfortable. I do take this a bit personally. This appears to have been filmed in June/July. My dad was in surgery then for his colon cancer and he wasn't allowed to have visitors, especially me since I had COVID. Between March and June I only left my house 4 times. My husband brought COVID in. Although he wore a mask and gloves, someone didn't. My kids (my son has Hodgkin's Lymphoma) had to go to my mom's for a month. Three weeks later COVID sent me into cardiac arrest. People in my community were still having get-togethers and going on weekend jaunts, and since masks weren't required, played loose with the recommendations. Someone in my community didn't take precautions and it almost killed me. It WOULD have killed my kid. Restrictions may have been less then, but the virus wasn't finished. It got much worse. Whitney seems to play fast and loose with the mask stuff, too. Ryan and her brother can't come in or even talk outside, but she'll sit a foot away from a maskless guy she hasn't seen in years. No idea where Lenny may have been, he supposedly just "showed up", but he can sleep in her bed- even though she KNEW she was going to be around the barnacles the next day. Sorry, didn't want to go off on a COVID tangent, but since it was a big part of this episode...I felt them with the whole thing about wanting to see and be around people. The getaway looked fun. They seemed to enjoy themselves. I understand about wanting to feel normal. I think we all do.

Yeah, and I don't even think it's about the money. I think at least half of them are famewhores and most really are just nasty people. Re: preview Ryan's reply to how long Chase has been involved with his girlfriend may be one of the most honest statements that's been made on this show.

Well, there Is a pandemic going on. These are desperate times for poor actors... 😉

So much for continuity. In the talking heads they go to the trouble of putting Buddy in the same shirt, but his head's now shaved. On it. I don't mind taking one for the team. It will make my bill go down because it means I can get rid of Philo.

COVID's kind of like sex: not only are you sleeping with THAT person, but you're also being exposed to everyone that person's been exposed to.

"Heather's not even COMING!" No shit. It's called common sense. There are people who haven't been able to see their own family for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and birthdays yet these numbnuts are going to vacation together.

This is all part of the "Whitney is still super desirable" storyline.

I hate this episode for making me agree with Buddy.

I remember him saying that. I just don't believe it.

I like the way Lenny just happened to show up during filming. And mic'ed.

I'm still not convinced that Lenny is being played by the same actor.

Yeah, I'm having trouble taking the housing arrangement seriously. It wouldn't surprise me if Sharp requested this or it's incredibly temporary- like they're waiting until their modular home is put in on the farm or whatever. It's possible. Also possible that this is totally to take at face value and Brandon truly IS a man child who has no intentions of leaving Mama.

Now THAT would be great viewing.
