Can I just say I could not wait to come on over here to PTV and dish on this episode with all of you? Jesus, what a shit show!
Mama Chantel saying plainitively, while waving a substantial portion of Nicole's weave in the air like pampas grass, "we were having a nice dinner!" is an image that will live forever. Like Danielle hurling her Binder of Evidence in the hot Florida night, like Creepy Mark claiming himself "a great specimen", like Jason's dad's Swiffer. Congratulations, Mama Chantel. Long may you wave.
Chantel has only one setting--11. When she did finally take her long face home, Pedro never got a word in. The instant he tried to speak she shouted over him, then flounced off, with door slamming. Extra points for coming back out of the bedroom only to flounce out AGAIN, with another door slam. That's professional level flouncing, there.
It makes me wonder how many others she has. I bet she has a drawerful of trophies from snatching some bitch bald.
She ducks her head and hides, like a five year old who got caught taking a cookie. Gawd she's annoying.
Russ is now the cause of all Pao's problems. He kidnapped her and forcibly brought her to Oklahoma, where she was made to marry him against her will. Her captivity made her so sad she couldn't even speak with her beloved family! (Who all love her so much that not one of them called her while she was away! so sad!). He can't read her mind, like Juan! or Geo! or Genny! or all of her other friends who LOVE her! and CARE about her! unlike her cold unfeeling brute of a husband who WORKS and provides the means for her to parade around in body paint and slutwear from Frederick's of Hollywood. What a silly, shallow, vain, insipid, trashy waste of space Pao is.
I have long maintained that Azan is talking to boys. Lots and lots of boys.
Elizabeth is very invested in her story line "independent American girl marries old fashioned, traditional, manly European man". I like him but she's almost as silly and vapid as Pao.
Anfisa is a stone cold assassin. I would not want to run into her in a dark alley if she had a beef with me, I'm sayin.
Damn skippy. She's too cowardly to dump him. If he dumps her she can cry to her friends for sympathy and demand alimony when he divorces her.
I bet Winter has a cute little place over the garage, since I doubt that her parents would let her move far. Whose clothes did Chantel borrow? River's??
Right? There is no way in hell I would stay under Mama Patrick's roof. She might stab me in my sleep. Run, Miriam!
She was like a billboard hiding behind a street sign. It just won’t work.

"Yes" to all this. And something else that just occurred to me, after going back and listening more closely to the closing minutes of Episode 3 of her podcast:
First, she says she hasn't been in communication with "Jay" since he got married. But then, when pressed by her friend, she admits that she HAS spoken with him once or twice; and that if she wanted to reach out to him again, he likely wouldn't rebuff her, but that she's refraining from "opening the door" because if she decided to do that, she knows she wouldn't be met with resistance.
Although I love the idea of anyone pissing off Audrey, that's potentially incendiary stuff. Did that seem strange to anyone else?
I noticed that, too. I’m not sure if it was meant as a slight to Auj, as in ‘J is still part of my life, if I want that’. Or if she brought that up for another reason, but it seemed like a loaded statement.
Some of what she said was conflicting...’they hate my guts’ but in the next breath, ‘there’s no bad blood’. As mentioned up thread, I don’t buy this whole friendship BS. I believe she was head over heels in love, back then, and still has feelings for him.

I finally got a chance to listen to the 2 hour long rebuttal.
This may be a reach, but my feeling is the only reason Audrey was ‘nice’ to her after the initial mean FB messages was damage control. She new she was going to be a part of TLC’s show, a blogger, and a social media presence. Or at least had her wheels moving towards that direction. The last thing she needed was a scorned side piece telling the world how Audrey truly is.
My second take is this girl is still in love with Jeremy. When I’ve been wronged by a previous love interest, I’m going to tell everyone about his little pee pee, mommy issues, etc. I’m certainly not going to be telling the world about all of his amazing qualities.
Lastly, is she seeing a therapist BECAUSE of Jeremy? Or she is seeing a therapist already and Jeremy happens to be one of the topics?

I honestly don't have the energy to rewatch. to say yes or no to it. I do know it was known on line and in fan circles that Audrey existed and they were dating - http://spiritswander.blogspot.com/2011/08/jeremy-roloff-update-august-2011-new.html She was dating him.
Now, l can be conciliatory - because frankly, they're very unlikely to give us the real details. In the grand scheme of things, no matter how you cut it, this is an emotional affair, not a real affair. Until someone admits to banging and both Jer and Janae? are very clear this wasn't physical.
Where I would nail Jeremy is that per Janae - he was asked/told by Auj that she wanted him to leave Janae alone and he pretty much just ignored it, and even casting Janae in the worst light (and I have my opinions on her motivations), it still ends up with Jeremy lying when the opportunity presented itself. Which now explains why Auj keeps her pet's leash so tight.
With his mop and giant belly, I think she could safely loosen that leash.

I don’t remember Audrey ever being mentioned until after they were engaged in real life. Of course, that was some time before we saw it in TV time. I thought I had seen all the episodes when the show was on full time the first time. I haven’t watched as much since they came back.
I’ve watched all the most recent, but was hit or miss from the earlier years. Like the bare mattresses that have been mentioned a few times, I don’t recall seeing.

No, the girl in Santa Barbara was at the photography school Jeremy went to. When Jeremy left, it was excitedly revealed that he and Auj were going to maintain a long distance relationship. So, basically he should not have told Auj they were in a relationship if he was planning to see other people.
Was this revealed on the show? I really need to go back and refresh my memory from previous seasons.

I assume they do check milk donation mothers for stuff. I mean, you don't get it from black market breasts.
The cabbage leaves thing is recommended to soothe infectious breasts. I am not a proponent of essential oils and onsidering how Auj goes on and on and on about her illnesses, I wonder why she's so stuck on it.
There sort of is ?. Women sell it on Craigslist, I believe bodybuilders are the main demographic for it. Or maybe even men with fetishes, who knows. But I know the milk banks are pretty strict about the quality, especially with preemies being on the receiving end.

funny this was on last nights episode, my son & dil had my first grandbaby last Friday...yay :) we were over there yesterday afternoon and she is strictly bottle feeding. While we were there she quickly got up from the couch I didn't think much of it, she came back and whispered to me that she thought her milk had come in and she was all of a sudden very sore. She said the dr told her to apply ice packs and/or cabbage leafs. She made no big deal over it, when Auj did it for all teevee land to see was kinda disgusting but apparently it's what's prescribed, who'd a thunk.
A lot of unconventional treatments work quite well! I don’t know about cabbage leaves. But I do have a few oils in my homeopathic cabinet that work for various ailments.

TLC is one of a handful of stations I keep cable for. My big issue is internet caps and decent internet service overall. I currently pay $336 a month for to ensure good internet and no cap. We are looking to move and every house I look at I check internet and so many companies have caps on how much you can use, I'm scared because I'm the type that likes TV on in the background for noise or fall asleep with the tv on. Plus it surprises me how much of our country still has low speed internet. I'm still searching for my perfect city, decent priced housing with good internet, safe school and close to medical care.
I'm sure Nicole will have to move when Azan comes here and I wonder how much she realizes the real world costs. Watching Nicole, I wonder if we are seeing what Danielle was like 25 years ago. At least Danielle wanted out of her low wage job and wanted her to own a home not rent. In Danielle's 3 years on TV we saw her buy a modular home and she is an RN program. Nicole seems to have no motivation to do better. It has been 3 years since we met her, and there isn't a better job, more then a rented studio apartment, and unless she is hiding it as a big secret she isn't going to school. You would think there would be some sort of assistance or program for a struggling single mom living in one room to go to a trade school or community college. I hope Nicole's mom is aware of preschool programs and summer programs that Mae could attend. I have this feeling looking at the apartment and hearing Nicole's sister on the show. Mae spends more time with her grandma and aunt then with Nicole. Let's hope that is true.
We pay $49 monthly (Suddenlink) with no cap. Customer service isn’t stellar but neither is spectrum or Comcast, so less than $50 is a great deal.
I know a couple people working on their degree to become RN’s, it’s not easy. I would be SHOCKED if she achieves her goal. But I’ll give her props (only time ever) that she is trying.

I agree - for once he wasn't wrong and unreasonable that they should pay a percentage of their sales back to the farm. But he probably could have explained it a little bit better. And I'm sure he probably didn't think about it either, their accountant or whatever (or maybe even Caryn) told him "hey, this is how it should work". I doubt it was his idea that he gives profits from his book away. OR he wanted to charge Amy on her products and someone made him aware that if he did that then he'd have to do the same to his book. But either way, it's how it needs to be done. But I question Amy's statement about her needing to sell 100 breads to start to make a profit ONLY because she now has to pay some back to the farm.
No shit - that's exactly what I said to myself while watching. These kids don't have jobs - they can work pumpkin season and help out their dad!!
I think it's entirely possibly that Audrey was just too stubborn to allow him to do it UNTIL the doctor told her that's what needs to happen. Jeremy said he did suggest it and then Audry was very adament that it was the doctor's idea.
I have a friend who has 2 kids and neither of them are good sleepers - the youngest I think is almost 2 and has never slept through the night and I've been told that she makes her husband get up with her too (even though she was big time into breast feeding), not sure if that's the case anymore. But I do not get the point of having two exhausted parents.
This reminds me of when I had my youngest child. His bassinet was next to hubby’s side of the bed. My side didn’t have enough room and there wasn’t but a few inches to move the bed over without blocking the closet. Our arrangement was that he would get our son out of the bassinet, and hand him over to nurse, then put him back in. This lasted for about a week till I walked in our room and saw the bassinet crammed in the narrow space between the bed and the wall. I guess that was his way of saying he didn’t want to deal with a newborn anymore ?.

Maybe I’m being generous, but I think Ember is getting cuter. Poor thing looked like she was touched with the ugly stick when she was a newborn. But I think she’s growing into her looks.

On an aside, apparently Matt has mentioned on social media that while he and Caryn are still together, she no longer works on Roloff Farms.
That's a wise decision for everyone and should have come sooner than it did.
Yes, that was a conflict of interest for sure. But I’m really curious to know the circumstances of why she left. If there is a next season, I’m sure they would at least touch on it. Hopefully someone blabs about it sooner than that, though.

I’m perplexed by homeowners who are so disappointed in the reveal. Have they not seen ANY of the previous episodes?? We’ve had some really nice rooms this season, but all previous seasons are one tacky room after another. Some are beyond tacky, like hay on the walls for example. One might think by now that you are signing up for the experience, and if you happen to get a nice room, that’s just the icing on the cake.

Yeah, this is one of those unstated things that Matt gets a free pass on and Amy's somehow the bitch to be upset with his bad behavior.
How did Matt and Caryn meet? Caryn is his *employee*. Even if we assume that Matt and Caryn were just employee and boss before the divorce, it doesn't change the fact that Matt's new love is the woman he works with.
Amy, to give her credit, has expressed some concern about how Matt must feel about her dating and having male friends over.
Has Matt expressed anything other than how much he LOVES Caryn and likes having her over? Matt doesn't seem bothered in the slightest to have his ex wife and his current lover debating his projects in front of him. Matt isn't concerned about how Amy will feel if he brings Caryn to family events, he's only concerned with how Caryn will feel if she's not invited.
Good lord, Amy is divorced and yet she's expected to kiss Matt's tushie and express her undying love for him and serve his will and needs - why exactly does Amy have to be any thing but PISSED with the man who walked out on her publically and who derides her publically on a nationally shown tv show?
I think it’s only fair for Chris to become ‘co-manager’ for the farm. He seems to be there a lot and a realtor has a more flexible job than someone who works 9-5. That way, they’re both sleeping with the help. Would even the playing field a bit.

I don't agree at all. Why? Because (talking about Chris, here) if you have a single ounce of manners and you weren't raised in a cave, you know you don't get up from the dinner table without saying a word to your girlfriend and stay gone for 20 minutes leaving her hanging there wondering WTF, should she pay the bill? Should she leave, too? Did he get lost? Does he want her to wait there for him? If he wants to get away from her or she's getting on your nerves, Fine. Go, but tell her where you are going. It's called being in a relationship and considering someone else's feelings instead of your own for once. I can't imagine doing something like that to my husband.
She did say they had a fight. That was total damage control for the camera and viewers. Why would Amy bring it up again to her girlfriends if it was not a big deal? Obviously it was still bothering her.
I think I wasn’t clear with my post. I AGREE it’s rude, and I’d be very put off about it. My reply was to a poster who felt that he had motives for leaving, and I threw a couple theories out. When I mentioned his reasons for not telling Amy why he was leaving, it wasn’t an excuse for his behavior. More like, he doesn’t want to say, “Hey, I need to call my side piece” or “I’m sick of being around you, so I’m going to take a breather”. A motive for bad behavior is different than an excuse.

I agree, I think the real reason for Amy staying in the house (for now) is because it was built as a family home while she and Matt were married. It is the in which house her kids spent a good part of their childhood/adolescence. Matt spent much of his time in his little office suite (complete with a kitchenette) with his farm manager/personal assistant Caryn. Then HE burned down the original house, bought the DW, and moved out of the marital home. Soon after, Matt wanted to rush a finalized divorce. Why on this earth should the wife he left be expected to leave her home? So that her previous employee can move in with Matt and host family get-togethers there? (Because you know Matt wouldn't be doing any of the work hosting parties--look at how he acted in that Thanksgiving episode.) I honestly don't see too many people who would be happy with that scenario.
And for all who say the farm is Matt's baby, his dream, etc.--I do recall him wanting to move to Colorado or Idaho after they bought and built up the farm, but Amy refused to move the kids again(?)
I do see see Amy eventually in the future moving off the farm, however. I think it may take a few more years and she will be tired of Matt's whining and daily presence in her life.
Matt whining about the house is getting really old. He say’s it’s not fair, but didn’t he agree to it to get the divorce done quickly? Maybe I misheard, but I thought he said Amy didn’t want him to build a new house on the farm. What she really said was she wouldn’t help pay for it. Secondly, she also agreed that any extra profit that house brought, Matt could keep if the property sold. He loves the farm, and has the money, so why not build his own ‘big house’ there.

I noticed that, too. She said they had an argument, but in the joint TH’s, it was like a Brady Bunch lesson. “Amy thought it was rude and she had a great point. Then we made up and made out, we communicate so well!”. It’s okay to express anger when you’ve been disrespected by your partner.
As a side note, when they were leaving the party, she was high tailing it out of there, when Chris stopped her and said they should wait for the friend.

The only thing that I can surmise is that a nice portion of Amy's salary comes from TLC. (Yes, there are farm proceeds, salsa, speaking engagements fees, etc. that she receives income from, but, I would guess that at least $100,000. per season comes from TLC.) And, while the adult kids get away with living off the farm, if she moved off, she might not get as much air time. And, for the sake of assuring her place on the show, she must stand her ground. I get it. I don't fault anyone for preserving their livelihood. Plus, Matt is fine with Chris staying with her there, so, I guess, why not stay there?
Chris' excuse about leaving the dinner table without explaining, was pretty lame. So............what's the real story?
Maybe texting/calling another Gf. Or possibly just needs a break from someone he’s been with 24/7 on the trip. Even if I love someone, I can’t be around them non stop. If either theory is true, that would be a reason for leaving without letting your SO know.

I agree with a small caveat.
I think Jer is losing some of his favored status with Matt. First, the baby was a girl, not a boy. Matt seems super into boy children. The older Jackson gets with no boy child to displace him, the less likely a new child will gain favored status.
Second.... I think letting Audrey rule the roost and have her way with how much time Jeremy and Ember spend with Matt might have an adverse effect on the relationship. Zach and Tory seem to haul the baby over pretty frequently and seem fine with interacting with Matt and Amy. Audrey in contrast REALLY doesn't seem to like Amy or Matt, and she certainly doesn't seem to encourage Jeremy to see either of his parents without her being at his side. I very much doubt Audrey casually brings Ember over for either grandparent and... lack of access does create disinterest.
What I find satisfying is that Jeremy and Audrey mentioned on camera more than one how they would have to set limits on Amy’s (maybe Matt, too?) time with the baby. Also if they moved to the big house, they would have to have their space. Then when it’s baby time, Amy takes a week long trip with her man. Not only that, Amy and Matt seem to really favor Jackson. I don’t know if it’s because Tori is a nicer person, and more accessible. He’s the first grandchild, and a boy. Maybe IRL, they are just as close to Ember now that she’s born. But from what we’ve seen on the show, they were way more excited for Jackson’s birth. Turns out they didn’t NEED to set limits because no one is fighting over their baby!

Same feeling, but I didn’t want to be the first to say it ?.
