Heathen

According to Reddit (I know, I know), there is also a shot of one of the younger Bates daughters. Their names all sound alike so don't ask me which one.

I watched the trailer (and I will watch the first installment after work). I could have sworn I saw some Bateses in passing. If Gil and Kelly have any sense (which is doubtful), they should be very nervous right now. ETA: The first installment is June 2. I guess I'll watch it in two weeks, then.

Her toes don't even look bruised. I'm calling BS on all of this. Carlin, since we know you read here. You're embarrassing yourself. Grow up.

They claim that paparazzi chased them for two hours. In New York City. The chase was "nearly catastrophic." From the Washington Post: "A New York Police Department spokesperson said the presence of many photographers made the couple’s transport “challenging,” adding that they arrived at their destination safely without any collisions or injuries. A taxi driver who transported the couple for a part of their journey after attending the event told The Washington Post in an interview that he would not call the incident a chase, adding that he felt safe during the ride. In an email to The Post, the spokeswoman said: “This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers." https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/05/17/harry-meghan-car-crash-paparazzi/ I guess Lawson is just SOL. Too many pregnancies, too many alleged chases, too many broken toes for him to get any attention no matter how hard he tries.

Exactly. Paying Carlin's bullshit medical bills would cut into their vacation/Starbucks/eating out/shopping/nails and hair money.

Maybe they use the Gil Bates method of "paying" medical bills.

It'll be however many minutes of banal, boring bullshit followed by ten seconds of "Nothing new! Same meds! But look at my knee-high boot on my poor precious broken TOE that I had to go to the ER for!"

I have mentioned before the person I know in real life, EK, whom I believe to have factitious disorder as well as factitious disorder imposed on another. This is a belief shared by others. I have seen for years that when a doctor or vet (she's a cat hoarder) will not give her what she wants, which is attention, she labels them as "incompetent" or "selfish" or "in it for the money." You get the idea. When she does get a vet or doctor of any specialty who gives her what she wants, she becomes devoted to them, talks about them all the time, visits them as often as possible, says they might be able to "get to the bottom of this." For those who'd like to read more: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/factitious-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20356028#:~:text=Factitious disorder imposed on another,the intention of deceiving others. Topic: Evan is either very gullible and/or a world-class enabler, much like EK's husband.

Factitious disorder. I'll bet she was delighted about it. Let's see how long she milks it.

Scoot over in there. Only an idiot, or a completely brainwashed cult member, would have thought it was a good idea to have kid after kid (after kid after kid) when they didn't have enough space, food, or time for the kids they already had.

I suspect they know the EEG isn't necessary, and that's why it hasn't been scheduled. Carlin needs a psychologist, not a neurologist. Evan needs a kick in the ass.

Jill did it on purpose. She wants her daughters to look worse so that she looks better by comparison. Hence the awful hair, makeup, clothes, and everything else.

Officially, it's Joy-Anna.

Someone should tell Princess Erin that wishing won't make it so. Or if you want to shock the curl out of her hair, give her the more earthy version -- wish in one hand, s**t in the other, see which one fills up first.* * I really dislike scatological humor, but considering the Bateses, I think it's worth it.

What's in the bins on the top shelf? Her undies? The clutter in that closet makes me need to clean something, now. The empty hangers alone! twitches

No way the kids don't hear. I'm sure that in the pre-TV money, overpacked, ramshackle house, Erin and her sibs knew when their parents were getting it on, too.

Carlin and Evan must be beside themselves that so many other Bateses are getting attention that should rightly go to the Stews. If she's not pregnant, my guess is the "episodes" will start again. She might have to go through with that five-day EEG after all, just for content.

But but but! He might have to work for a heathen! Or a woman! Or one of those people! Can't have that! I wonder if Clomid had a hand in this baby, too. Or Erin exaggerated about her "one-quarter ovary," which would not surprise me.

It is tough to find petites, especially in some sizes, in the cheap-clothes market. I wear petite sizes. If stores have anything in my size, it's either granny wear or juniors wear. I am neither. Evan definitely needs to work on his photography skills. I think my midrange iPhone could do better.

A Cruise around Ryker('s) Island. Awful name, but it's not like Rike Cruiser will ever go to public school and get teased about it.

No, that's not correct. The widest part you see is her calf. Her knee is partly under that ugly dress. The angles are awful and end up making her look bigger than she is.

WTF is up with her left arm? Yikes again. Her skin does not look good -- mottled and maybe some sores. I hope that is Evan's shitty photography and not a reflection of her actual skin.

Evan is a mediocre photographer, but I think that is her calf, seen at an angle from above. The angle is misleading. I came to this conclusion thanks to a mirror and my own leg, so take it with a grain of salt.

I might dislike Kelly less if she didn't always have that stupid, fake shit-eating grin on her face. Wait, no -- I wouldn't. But at least if she didn't do that all the time, the sight of her face might not make me want to slap it off her. Carlin, since we know you read here -- have Josie give your mother a better color shade. Her hair looks fried and over processed, and it's too dark for her now. She also needs to brush it before a photo shoot. Signed, Catty Heathen

Actually, she has two first names and one middle. Jordyn-Grace Makiya.
