Didn't Jill recently repost that silly story about the Russians drilling a hole to the center of the earth and a microphone (on a verrrrry loooong cord) lowered into the hole caught sounds of screaming from the depths of hell? I remember Jill saying that a demon escaped from the hole. Behold the demon caught on camera!

Below Deck: Nurthan on the Ocean. Captain Nathan, chief stew Nurie, and two deck hands host a welcome dinner for the new charter guests.

Are Nurie and Nathan dressed up, or are they in some kind of costume? She's wearing gloves and sneakers. I ask this seriously since the Rod women's clothes never make sense, and the men's clothes rarely do.

Jill is her own worst enemy because she has to gloat about her vacations and possessions in a very public way. She should keep her mouth shut and her camera in the purse, but that's never going to happen. She's hopelessly immature, needy, and spoiled. I bet her sisters were thrilled when she married the Hunk and moved away.

Sure, Jill. Hanging out with Hunk at a theme park is just as good as that four-day cruise with the beaches, buffets, and the glitterati of the Plexus world. Her poor family has a long, hard task ahead of them trying to make Best Mama Ever feel better. They know the drill.

So Jill got a special trip to Epcot with lots of food. I bet her hurt feelings are better now. She's not nearly over the insult of losing the cruise, but at least she's a little better. That's all that matters in the world. Meanwhile, the Rodlets and Cinnamon get whatever Nurie and Nathan can manage.

I think you're right. She's always poor and begging for something, but the "tears and grateful for my little army for God" posts are about rage. Plexus and Satan teamed up to attack poor, hardworking Jillybean, the world's best Christian. As for rending her garments, didn't she brag about buying a new wardrobe for the cruise--bought before she had an official booking? Bring out the tiny violins, please. The smaller the better.

I took my two grown offspring out for a nice lunch today. I'm happy I can do that for them. I also gave them an education and useful life experiences, so they are gainfully employed and making their way in the world as productive adults. As for the ever-weeping Jill R., didn't she post one of those crying memos just a couple of months ago, with the same complaints about being poor and being attacked from all sides in ways no one knows about? I think the last time it was looking at Janessa that took away her tears and made her glad she was impoverished but so very blessed to have a houseful of children she doesn't bother to take care of. When I read the previous crying Jilly post, I remember it sounded similar to a even earlier crying Jilly post, for a total of at least three woe-is-me Jillies. I've lost track, but the woman seems to work from a script with slight variations each round.

That would require a SEVERELY large bowl of popcorn. The Reddit posts suggest the company is super aggressive in its pressure on members to recruit. How did Renee get involved with this? I hope she doesn't think it's going to give her an income. It's not designed to do that. The worst thing for Best Mama Ever is that it doesn't appear to give out cruises or trips to islands, things that Renee can treat Mama to. On a non-Reddit review page, one review says that the starter pack is $300, and another suggests that the monthly purchases to earn the 35 points comes to $100 plus. Trying to unmembership oneself is a nightmare too because the company just keeps sending the backup points packages as the bills add up. David shelled out $300 so Renee could sell makeup? Wow. Lazy Davy must be desperate not to work a full time job to support his family.

I looked at the website, and the non-member prices are ridiculous. It's not even clear that you can order directly since everything directs to the membership page, which doesn't say very much about being a member. I did a bit of research instead of the real work I'm supposed to be doing today. Yearly membership is $19. Members have to buy at least 35 points worth of products each month to stay in good standing with the company. If you're ill or on vacation (or living in a van while grifting at churches in Florida), the company will automatically send you a 35-point package of products so you can keep your membership. One of the membership benefits is $20 of free product each month. Interestingly, Metaleuca offers services that members can buy such as gas discounts, shopping discounts, a healthcare savings plan, a beef subscription, and an identity protection plan. Buying the plans gives points too. Metalucea is a Mormon company that emphasizes wellness and charity on its mission statement. It doesn't talk about recruiting or having a downline, but there are several Metaleuca rants on Reddit that suggest it's just another pushy recruiting-based MLM, with ordinary products and an arbitrary point system.

Janelle and Christine from Sister Wives have reached top tiers in Plexus world because they were familiar to millions of people from their years on television. Audrey Roloff, with her essential oils, is another example with a husband who essentially grew up on a reality TV program. Audrey also appears to have her own groups of friends and followers that she has cultivated. Jill's and Kaylee's bubbles are very small and overlap in may cases. They will never build a network large enough to be successful with Plexus or any other MLM. Both are gullible enough to think otherwise, however.

Well, Jill figures if you're one of those people who is going to end up in the center of the earth, you should give her all your money and have a satisfying 15 minutes on the toilet before you go.

Nathan is going to need a second job if this visit goes on much longer. MeMe Jill will require a lot of special treatment since she didn't make the cut for the cruise, and David's wallet never leaves his pocket.

If only Jill could get those matching black and green outfits from Tim and Heidi to sell at her Ivory Creamery boutique. His and Hers set for just $55 for both! Perfect for a young couple! Includes disposable bibs from Red Lobster! Smiles and modest white undershirts not included.

Sorry Miss Ashley. The look is a manly flak jacket over a grandma's blouse and a stretched-out knit skirt. You could do better at your local thrift shop for much less money.

It's a job that brings in money that Jill and David can use. Sam's job doesn't seem to be as flexible as Jonathan's. Jill has never mentioned the job, but there are some clues that he works at a glass company.

If Janessa is old enough to ride a hoverboard, she's old enough to leave the baby room. Jill could have moved Janessa with the other girls and used the nursery closet as her office. It would be quiet and a good use of space. The desk is just one more thing in that crowded dining room. I know the answer to my own question. Being in the center of action is more important to Jill than keeping Plexus records or writing her next best seller. She can sit at her desk and issue commands and watch for sin among the troops.

At least the girls' dorm has windows, unlike the firetrap closet nursery.

Now that Jill has lost the cruise, she'll have time to spend on the Creamy Yummy boutique while she's in Florida. Precious Nurie will help her tour the Goodwills and put together stunning ensembles and model them. In Jill's eyes, Nurie has nothing better to do than have "fun" with Mama.

Well, he earned more points faster than The Queen of Gut Bloat did, so he deserves the trip.

Last year she made up some bogus excuse why she couldn't go on the cruise. She lied. This time, she complained. Getting on these cruises involves luck, and Jill is a two-time loser. I'm sure she'll keep her new cruise wardrobe and try again harder next year. After all, cruises offer everything Jill and David love--crowded swimming pools, alcohol, beach and swim attire, "modern" music, and comedians with "adult" material--well, stuff they love to rant about.

Edited to correct. Kaylee was selling Plexus to get Jill & Hunk to Punta Cana, not on the cruise.

Jill photoshopped the invitation. There was no guarantee she was going to get a spot on the cruise, and she knew it. Still, she bought a cruise wardrobe for a trip she didn't have locked in? I hope Temu takes returns. It reminds me of Mrs. Howell's wardrobe for a three-hour tour on Gilligan's Island, although Mrs. Howell was a nice person, and she could afford to shop.

Apparently, the description says "stretchy maxi skirt," which means the top has its own floral pattern. That makes it even worse than we thought. ETA: Jill probably made Renee wear a t-shirt blouse under the blouse. Maybe the undershirt has a print. Because nothing could make this outfit any worse than it is.

The skirt and the necklace are certainly choices--bad ones. Jill must be scraping the bottom of the discard bin at the local thrift store. Is she charging the usual $35 for this mess? Renee looks pained.
