I've seen the above pic several times, and it never fails to make me LOL.

So that's FT's Mykelti in the middle? She is actually returning to the hotshot banker? That must mean Christine is back from the Good Ship LuLaNo. Where is Truely? The one that Kootie ignored from birth? The one that he doesn't even know how to get ready for school. Because, from Robyn's actual "Day One," he's neglected his other 13 kids, and particularly Christine's kids. Part-time father, full-time asshat, pretty much says it all.

That scene with Mariah acting like a spoiled brat, not to mention stalker-ish and psycho, staring at the house, was when I seriously took a dislike to Pudge. Meri was sucking up to her, and Kootie called Meri out on her behavior, and said he would talk to Pudge. So even before the cat fishing, Meri had kowtowed to Pudge, instead of telling her what a little bitch she was being (in a nicer way.) Meri spoiled the crap out of Mariah, and it was never more obvious. Tree, say hi to Apple.

Garrison would be, as well. Remember when he tried to correct King Sol (was it in the Alaska ep?) and Kootie & Janelle reprimanded Garrison? Seems like the G boys fought each other on a regular basis, but it was obvious to me they didn't respect Kootie, the so-called "General." I don't blame them.

So apparently they've finally unloaded Christine's LV McMansion. I wonder how much the new owner is going to spend fixing it? Even with Kootie making personal appearances, it's taken months to sell. Meanwhile, no takers yet for Meri's wet bar, and Janelle's dirty birthin' tub. Every time the Browns make a fiduciary decision, it's a money pit. Time for Kootie to play Mighty Mouse, and "save the day" (show) and go looking for #5. Christine and Robyn's heads would explode. Meri and Janelle wouldn't give two shits. LOL

I also love "Smiling Faces" by the Undisputed Truth. Oldies from the 60's and 70's, and the One-Hit Wonders are the best IMO. So Christine's house sold, finally. I wonder how much cash they've bled since moving? Many thousands. That's what they get, putting the cart before the horse. Dumb and dumber.

It was 11 days of seething resentment for the others. Who could blame them? At most, the others got 2 or 3 days of Kootie driving around and staying wherever. From the beginning, Robyn and her spawn have always been favored. The latest move was all for her, and Day-Un. Nice work, if you can get it.

You and I must be soul sisters. I grew up on Motown and the Philadelphia Sound. I listen to the oldies when I do my walks. I have Love Train on my iPod, too. Remember Billy Paul? "Me andddd Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones? Those were the days! 1972 was a banner year for me. Graduated HS, got married, and here I am, watching shows about religions and beliefs that luckily, I wasn't born into. Sorry for the loss of your brother. My only sister died over 10 years ago, and I still miss her. BTT, Robyn and Kootie will fill the fallout from this move, one way or another. Dear Gwen, please don't think you have to keep sweet, just because your mother caved. Gabe doesn't care about keeping sweet, being a male, and Janelle should be ashamed of herself.

MFM, I am sure you can make another Strife post that will ring more of the truth!

Canoodling, what a great word! I'm sure Robyn is jockeying for Kootie's favors with Christine, now that Christine got skinnier, all the better for Kootie's attention. Sponge Robyn Square Head can't dill with not being the skinniest wife, and it just must rankle her. Good. Couldn't happen to a nicer snake in the grass.

That makes me laugh! When I was in grade school, way back in the 60's, I had my appendix removed. When a neighbor boy had to have his removed a while later, his big sister said it was because he swallowed a watermelon seed! My mom used to joke that if anyone swallowed a watermelon seed, that watermelons would grow in the toilet. Good times.

Not if she has 1/2 a brain. Oh, wait...

I loved those as a kid. My daughter did, too. Fashion forward, they are not...

That is a LuLaNO LuLaKnot. Only worn by the most fashion-forward women (not.) Knot/not/hot. or, #knotnothot

Thank you! Quackery once again. I really feel for Ysabel. Dumbass parents.

Nancy = quack therapist Mona = quack realtor What is with these people and their quacky choices? Oh right, they get a TLC check, so no effort is required of them.

Meri must have kicked herself a thousand times, if it was in fact she who encouraged Kootie to pursue ol' witch face. Then, Meri tries to be Robyn's BFF. Things didn't turn out the way Meri thought they would. Puts me in mind of a favorite song of mine, the OJays' "Backstabbers." Robyn's iron grip on Kootie's balls dictates which way the wind blows. Bitch wants to move to helicopter parent Day-Un, so they all moved. FUBAR fambly.

Sammy Hagar would be insulted, hehe. Remember when it was Meri's date night, and Kootie flat-ironed his ugly hair to look like Keith Urban? He (Kootie) looked like shit. That mega-mansion has to be a made-up storyline. Flagstaff, watch out. Kootie wants to make your "yummy" environs into a plygster's haven.

@LoneWolf, thank you for an inspiring post. I too love it here. I'm an introvert, and have never been very good at choosing friends. I'm blessed to have my Mr. X. We can make each other laugh and get along well. We do have different tastes in TV watching, and he thinks Kootie and the Gang are too ridiculous to watch, imagine that! It's fun to visit this forum and snark with viewers of this crazy show. I cannot believe that Kootie can be so delusional as to expect to build the monstrosity that he wants. Surely it was just a ridiculous storyline TLC cooked up (and paid for?)

If Gabe indeed is a little full of himself, one only has to look at Kootie for the blame IMO. Has there EVER been a time when Kootie didn't think of himself as God's Gift? It pissed me off when Janelle did a 180 and just went along when Kootie got a wild hair up his butt, and said "where we go one, we go all." Her house is still apparently unsold, so she could have stayed, visited the other families at special events, and kept Gabe in his familiar school until he graduated. Gabe was a high achiever, and was on track to scholarships. I don't blame Gabe for his attitude. Hopefully he'll adapt and do well in AZ. Janelle's a wimp.

Well, Christine did say, "I didn't know men could be bastards." Huh. Amazing that Kootie's bastardness when Christine was pregnant, by "courting" Robyn then, didn't count. Since this is Janelle's thread, I wonder what incredibly insightful post we can look forward to when she goes back to AZ?

Love your post. These supposed persecuted "Plygs" are their own worst enemies, when it comes to financial decisions. I can't even imagine living in that nightmare.

I wouldn't even guess how they divide money these days. It seemed to me that Janelle and Kootie worked the most before Season 1, and Meri only worked part-time. Christine seemed to be the stay-at-home mom, and no matter what Robyn spins, at least in Season 1, she wasn't "married" yet, and thus didn't contribute. Just guessing here. After TLC started paying them, who knows who divides the money, and who knows how much each adult gets? My head spins just thinking about how complicated their finances must be.

Does that mean it sold? 2 down, 2 to go?

"Hunka Hunka Burning Skeeve," love it! Yes, any woman that wants him has to be damned desperate, in some way. Crazy Paige is just icing on the creepy cake.
