    This one is rough.

    Season 17 – “Coronapocalypse.”  Alternate title, “Kody Brown: It’s All About Me.  Always.  And Don't You Forget It.”

    Sigh…..I love to recap.  I love to write, and I love snark.  But this episode was triggering in so many ways and my ability to snark might not meet my own high expectations.  Because once again, Kody Brown has managed to stun me to the point of not even knowing what to say.

    BUT – here we go.  Apologies for the length but a lot of sh!t hit a lot of fans. 

    Previously on SW – Kody spouts off some misogynistic crap he learned on HeManWomanHatersClub.com.  Something about how all women are bad and there’s no love without respect, blah blah.  This is only the first 15 seconds of the show and he’s already showing his ass.  He’s only getting warmed up, folks.  Strap in.

    We begin with a short Robyn segment where she wrinkles her sperm eyebrows and pretend rages that if Kody doesn’t get his crap together, he’s going to ruin every single marriage he has – hers being the unspoken exception, of course.  Whatever, lady – take several seats, we’ll see you plenty later on.

    Look!  Truely is actually allowed into her dad’s house!  At least this one time, anyway!  Kody asks Truely if she brought her pajamas and she replies that she did not – she tells this strange man that her mother said it was up to her if she wanted to stay the night, and she clearly does not want to.  Kody asks her if she wants to help him “work” because he has zero idea how to interact with this child, and also probably because he knows she’ll say no and then he can whine that he tried.  Ari, meanwhile, tries to tackle Truely to the ground and has to be warned by Robyn to take it easy…this girl definitely runs that house, not that I ever doubted it.  We see an outside drone shot of Robyn’s castle, and I had to pause it a few times – this HOUSE.  Did you look in the windows?!  Every windowsill is loaded with tchotchkes, and the basement looks to be filled floor to ceiling with boxes.  When we’re treated to a brief look inside the house, there’s not one square foot that doesn’t have a mishmash of Hobby Lobby 50% clearance items taking up space.  One of her built-in living room shelves is literally crammed with enough figurines to stock a second-hand shop.  Maybe when this show finally tanks, Robyn can get a guest appearance on Hoarders. 

    Next up is a LONG segment with Janelle and Kody going out to eat at Fat Olive’s, the place that gives its customers 50 sliced lemons free with appetizer.  Janelle wants to “soothe the waters” with Kody, because it’s been a rough summer.  While Kody squeezes a lemon into his water with his mask dangling stupidly from one ear, Janelle broaches the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.  Kody says that if the family gathers, he’s not going to keep quiet about the disrespect he’s gotten from certain family members, and we all know he’s talking about Gabe and Garrison.  He says that no one who harbors any animosity towards him and Robyn gets an invite to dinner unless he gets some serious groveling and apologizing from them.  Robyn’s fake-concerned face pops up and she whines that she didn’t even know that Kody was going to ask the boys to apologize to her, but that they were indeed texting her and blaming her for the fact that their dad wanted nothing to do with them for the duration of the pandemic, but it’s certainly not her fault because she loves them, and seriously – shut up, Robyn.  For real, stop.  You’re an idiot.

    Basically, Kody’s warped thought process is, if the members of his family cannot defer to him as Supreme Leader, then they can take a hike, and that includes Janelle.  Janelle grows a backbone in an interview and drops a truth-bomb – per Kody, Robyn is the victimized saint and everyone has been such a big meanie to her, but Janelle says that Robyn kept herself separate from the beginning.  Back at the lemon restaurant, Kody gets all up in Janelle’s face and I physically recoil in my chair and nearly spill my wine as I reach out to slap him out of her personal space.  He Manson-eyes her and says that they have never lived like a married couple.  Janelle is all, “dude!  You were never around!  If I wanted anything done I had to do it myself and you were cool with that for 30 years – now all of a sudden, you want to claim your Lordship over your household when you’re never even here?”  Kody whines that Janelle does things without his input and she’s like, I’ve been doing that for the entirety of our marriage and now suddenly, that doesn’t work for you?  Kody starts listing the things that Janelle has done to erase his title as Headship, like visit their grown kids without him (he wouldn’t have gone anyway) and buy and RV (he never helped her look for something to rent).  Regarding the RV, he grouches about how he doesn’t want dogs and dog hair in his bed, and I’m like – sir? You don’t shed copious amounts of crunchy extensions on every pillow you lay your permed head upon?  Please.  This whole stupid and lengthy conversation comes down to brass tacks because what Kody really wants is Janelle’s allegiance regarding his divorce to Christine.  Kody interviews that he’s currently experiencing divorce heartbreak (even though he’s told us several times that he loathes everything about Christine) and he demands fealty from Janelle, which she’s not about to give.  They also both question if they want to continue going forward as a family.  For the love, Janelle needs to peace out – and if she hasn’t after what we are about to see, she can go jump headfirst into Plague Pond after a sewage flood for all I care.

    Because now it’s Gabe’s turn.

    But first, Kody tells us that, 20 months into the “coronapocalypse” (give me a break, drama queen – yes, the pandemic has been/is absolutely horrific.  But now that it’s hit the only few people you really care about, it’s time to turn it up to 11 and coin it the apocalypse?), it’s hit the most careful people in the entire world – Kody and Robyn Brown and their kids.  We see a stranger in a black hoodie coughing, and it takes me a second to realize it’s Robyn – without her eyebrows, I didn’t recognize her.  She’s sick – and forgive me, I have to bring this up – but not sick enough to stop filming herself being sick.  Kody moans that he doesn’t even know what day it is because he’s been so busy taking care of everyone else but you guys, he’s sick too and he has every single symptom of Covid and some that I’ve never heard of (later he tells us, no lie, that his ASS muscles hurt).  So with Kody going out of his mind with worry over Robyn, he calls Gabe, because Gabe’s had Covid.

    He calls Gabe – on Gabe’s birthday.  And I KNEW this was going to be bad, but….

    Gabe relates how Kody called him to ask questions about Covid.  Gabe tells us that he really wanted to remind his father that it was his birthday but also wanted to see if Kody remembered.  Shocker - Kody did not.  And then Gabe, this man-child, breaks down, sobbing.  SOBBING.  THIS is real emotion, Robyn, if you ever want to compare your pretend dry-cries to a person who is actually clearly broken.  THIS is what Kody is doing to every member of his extended family in one way or another.  I have a son near Gabe’s age and if anyone made him this despondent, they would be answering to my earth-scorching rage.  It’s SO hard to watch – this kid, once the tears start, he can’t stop them.  And while I am also tearing up watching this play out, I am silently applauding Gabe for allowing himself to be filmed during a deeply personal and vulnerable moment, because there’s probably no other way to make Kody see what he’s done to his son.  Dear Gabe – I hope you do what you need to do to heal.  I honestly hope you end up okay.  Sincerely, all of us watching.

    Gabe tells us that Kody did eventually call back to wish him happy birthday because Janelle probably texted Kody to remind him, but Gabe says that phone call – in October of 2021 – was his last communication with his dad.

    So let’s wrap this up with the Coronavirus-Nineteen-‘Pocalypse or whatever Kody’s calling it now. 

    They all have it, except Aurora, who – upon learning that despite her dad’s extreme protoculls, it got into their mansion anyway – shuts herself in her room and doesn’t come out.  After 10 days, Kody tells us that Aurora came upstairs crying that she missed her family.  Aurora?  Why don’t you give your step-brother Gabe a call and ask him how he handles not seeing his family?  Just a thought.  Not that I blame Aurora completely – she’s been brainwashed by her parents for a decade.  Plus I’m certain that Kody pushed the doom and gloom narrative of Covid upon those kids so hard that they were probably afraid to breathe in public. 

    Because now Kody’s sitting in his car outside the ER where his Queen is currently waiting to be seen by a doctor, wondering if he should check himself into the hospital and perform his own chest x-ray in order to be close to Robyn, but – in a rare and fleeting moment of clarity – realized that it might not be a good idea because other people might actually be sicker than he is.  Wow, Kody.  You think?  I mean, with your ass hurting and all, you might be the second sickest person next to Robyn, that is.  So brave.

    Robyn manages to once again film herself from the ER and says that it’s a struggle to breathe (but not, apparently, to film herself).  Her tests come back normal and she’s released, and I don’t want to talk about Robyn anymore.  We see Brianne and Aurora on the couch, and Brianne looks identical to her mother as she does the patented face-scrunch, talking about how scared she was and again, I don’t blame her, as I’m sure Kody did his very best to tell Brianne that Covid likely got into their extra-protected home via her going to school.  Unfortunately we keep getting Kody’s dumb face interspersed during all of this, telling us about his brain fog, and how he didn’t even shower for three days, and how his trapezoid muscles hurt in addition to his gluteus maximus, etc.  Etc.  Etc.  Etc.  Etc………..

    I swear I am going to get to the end of this recap.

    In a Kody non-sequitur, he tells us how he drove past Christine’s house and had to remove his hoodie because it was choking him in his rage.  Huh?  What – you know what, never mind.  Moving on.

    With the Covid disaster behind them, it’s now Halloween and Kody dresses up like King Tut and Robyn as Cleopatra so Prince Sol and Princess Ariabelliobla can trick-or treat in their very own yard.  What fun!  I wonder if Kody took any of his other kids trick-or treating?  See?  He is an involved dad!  It just depends on which kids you ask.

    He sucks.

    The End.

    P.S. I forgot, Meri also showed up to collect her $147.85 royalty check in a self-filmed talking head.  She must have a contract that insists she appear on the show for a minimum of 5 seconds per episode.  Whatever.

    At this point, I only watch this show so that I have context to understand your recaps.  Appreciate you taking the time to entertain us every week.

    Lea is attractive and seems to be gainfully employed.  She has goals and ambitions.  Surely, she can find someone who doesn't have two other women.  It just doesn't add up.  I wonder what she hopes to get out of all of this.  

    I think she’s a plant.  She has to be.  She’s too good for this sh**

    It wasn’t my sense that they were saying this yurt was Chase’s family’s.  Rather, I think they said it was where Chase’s family took their family vacation every year. 

    That totally makes more sense.  I am currently in the market for a little vacation home, so possibly my mind led me there subconsciously.  I thought she was at least trying to say they owned the business if not the structure itself.  It’s clear to me now that I’m not paying close attention, lol.

    I never thought that it was their family home. When they pulled up, it looked like a cabin rental as there were "log cabin yurts" around the one they were in. I figured it was either a timeshare or a rental, but probably not something they'd even purchased as a summer getaway seeing as how there were so many around it.

    I probably missed all of that because I can’t focus while watching this show.  I pretty much only watch for the snark on this forum.  I caught that she said “Chase’s family’s yurt”, so I made the assumption she was trying to imply they either owned the structure or the business.  I called bs in my head immediately, which is why I googled.  Likely why I also missed all of those other details you caught.

    A page or two back someone mentioned that the family might have owned a timeshare which would explain why they went to the same place year after year. When Chase or Twit mentioned the name of the town I did a search. The sign near the entrance is rather distinctive and I looked a little further and saw the notyurt (because I have never seen a yurt that looked like that.)

    For those of you who haven't followed the link the one that they used is one room, sleeps six and has one bathroom. Close quarters for two but, for five adults when one has a huge personality doesn't seem like the optimal situation for a relaxing time. I agree with @Dot. It was probably rented by the production company and used for a few hours of filming.

     

     

     

    I did the same thing (googled Genoa and yurts) as I was watching the show when it originally aired. I just had a hunch.  I found the same website....those guys are not Chase’s family.

    Tonight's episode had me laughing throughout for a change - Whit only brought one pair of leggings?  But somehow had a pair of overalls lying around?  With a bandanna to accessorize? 😄 

    My theory is that he's doing it for $$ - as in a "storyline" that has him staying at Whit's each week so Chase can be "jealous" and then she can upset him. by missing his "performances" - which handily have a folding chair front row center with a big "reserved" sign taped to it so we can see that she's not there 😄 

    I have questions about Chase's "family yurt":  Do they all stay there?  Are the dad and sister and boyfriend all camped out in sleeping bags on the floor around Whit's love nest?  Are they little yurt hotel rooms and the others have their own yurts?  In that case it isn't really his "family yurt" is it?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Also - Whit said that her last "serious ex"'s father had a comment about her weight.  I'm assuming her last "serious ex" wasn't Avi, who she was going to marry and convert to Judaism for, nor was it Lenny, unless we all missed the meeting of his parents.  Is this an editing error or an admittance that neither of them was a real boyfriend? 😄 

    Just commented on another thread, but it’s definitely not his family’s yurt.  I googled yurts + Genoa, WV (where Twit said they were), and came up with a business that rents them that looks exactly like the ones they were in.  The owners have an about us page, and neither were anyone related to Chase.

    Dude, a yurt has cloth/canvas sides (and if you want to get REALLY technical, it's made of felt or animal pelts). Basically "Chase's Family Summer House" is a round log cabin with no actual rooms.

    So if your name is Casey Patrick, why do you go by "Chase"? I'm confused.

    He also has a Dale Earnhart tattoo on his upper thigh. I might be even more confused as to why it's located close enough for his scrotum to practically touch it on a very warm day.

    Sweatney's excuse for not notifying Buddy that she wasn't going to attend his gig ahead of time was because she was "a performer" and SHE thinks it would upset him. NO, she didn't want to get yelled at so she just let him be massively disappointed and staring at her empty chairs. What a fucking asshole.

    OK - I am going to be the asshole and say that while absolutely ADORE the sister's boyfriend, his forehead is terrifying. (sorry! so sorry) I want to style him - bangs? Anything!

    I was worried that Sweatney would wear a sports bra and leggings to meet Chase's family. But she didn't disappoint in those overalls, which never flatter anyone with a belly.  

    Chase's dad called them "The Odd Couple." And then immediately after, he called Sweatney "sweet." He's definitely collecting some sort of paycheck, it's official.

    Definitely not their family home.  I googled yurts in Genoa, WV (Twit said that’s where they were on the phone), and there is a business that rents yurts that looked EXACTLY like the one that they were in (even down to the color of the couch).  The business was owned by two guys - neither of them being anyone in Chase’s family.  This was 100% a location scouted/rented  by the producers that they passed off as a family home.

    It's a quote from Rocky IV, though I'm not sure why that phrase in particular means so much to her. She also has "Cut me, Mick" from Rocky tattooed on her arm. Big fan apparently.

    Ooohhh, that’s what her arm tattoo says.  I was  trying to figure that out for the past 2 episodes.  I thought it might have said Call me, maybe”, like the Carly Rae Jensen song.

    I know this has nothing to do with the show, but my husband and I use the word “mayhaps” all the time (I’m pretty sure maybe and perhaps no longer exist in our active vocabulary).   I’m sure we heard it it read it somewhere at some point, but we’ve been using it for so long, I thought we made it up.  I’m delighted to see we aren’t the only ones.

    Previously on Sister Wives.....

    Meri cries and repeats the phrase "on my own" 14 times and then calls everyone else "stupid."  

    Nothing new here - moving on to Episode 3: "Kody Wants Out (of his four balloon McMansion Mortgages)"

    Meri closed on the Parowan B&B!  Does this mean we won't have to hear the word "Parowan" every fifteen seconds while Meri does her patented eye roll/shrug whilst shedding copious orange-tinted tears?  One can only hope!  Kody tells us that the B&B is beautiful, but acquiring it caused lots of dramz and that Meri has been aloof for the past couple of years while she worked the fam'ly into giving her half a mil to pay for it.  Kody segues this B&B discussion into how he hasn't been happy since he uprooted his kids from Lehi, gave them 72 hours to pack and say goodbye to their friends, and rushed them all to Vegas under the threat of persecution and amidst the (fake) wail of police sirens and now wants to do it all over again and move back to Utah.  To him, Vegas was never "home," it was "exile."  Or more likely - "ratings."

    Meanwhile, another Brownie has a boyfriend - this time it's she of the Pantene hair and freakishly perfect skin, Aspyn.  She's crushed on Mitch since she was 14, and he finally noticed her at the march for plyg rights in Utah.  Mitch decides to move to Vegas to be close to Aspyn.  He's got a trailer full of guy crap - the stuff he doesn't need, like a broken unicycle, will be stored at Christine's house, while he moves his other stuff into Maddie and Caleb's house.  Aspyn giggles that Mitch is moving to be closer to her, and Christine says that this is a very big dill.  Christine also apparently asked Mitch if he ever rides his unicycle while going commando under his kilt...which is a sentence I didn't think I would ever type in my entire life, but there you go.  Also, gross.  Christine tells us that Mitch already asked Kody for Aspyn's hand in marriage, so there will be yet another weddingk in the future.  The Brown adults couch together and discuss how polygamy worked in their families...both Meri and Kody state that their respective mothers were the ones who decided that they wanted to adopt the faith and plural marriage, and sent their husbands to go out and bring home another wife.  Kind of like when I send my husband to the grocery store for a gallon of milk, but different.  Robyn, expert on all things polygamy, yammers about how it's not really the husband's prerogative to say to his wife, "hey, I'm going out girl hunting, be back in time for dinner."  Rather it's the wife who - knowing full well that her husband wants another wife - gives "permission" to let him go out and do what he was going to do anyway.  Kody calls this a "paradox of contradictions."  I call it misery and bullshit.  Aspyn and Mitch then take to the couch.  Mitch word scrambles on how he's not opposed to having more than one wife,  although he wouldn't do it if Aspyn wasn't on board, but he's not NOT going to purposefully look for another wife.  Meanwhile, Aspyn's face tells another story entirely, as she tries on a tentative smile or two, casts her eyes from her beloved to the camera and back again several times, and at times appears stunned and uncertain with a bit of "WTF" thrown in.  Congrats, Aspyn!  You landed a guy just like your dad!

    On we go to Ysabel and her struggle with scoliosis.  Ysabel, Kody and Christine are preparing for a 6-month check with Dr. Camp.  Kody states that this will be their last visit to Dr. Camp because this crazy quack keeps suggesting that Ysabel might need surgery if her curve continues to get worse.  Christine and Gwen attempt to explain to Kody that Ysabel is struggling with her self-confidence, which Kody dismisses because her curve is not (currently) life-threatening, and that surgery is simply not needed.  Kody lets us know that surgery would result in a scar and a titanium rod, and that these things mess with Kody, to which I roll my eyes so hard I can hear it.  Ysabel sits down with Kody and tells him that she's doing her exercises 80% of the time, and in response he silently stares back at her as if to suggest that the missing 20% is why she's not miraculously curing herself.  Ysabel tells us that she gets frequent headaches, which is why she can't complete her exercises every single day like her dad clearly wants her to do.  At the doctor's office, Dr. Camp tells the Browns that Ysabel's curve is still at 42%, and while surgery wouldn't be done until the curve reaches 50%, the fact that she hasn't gotten worse doesn't mean that she still might not need surgery in the future.  Not if Dr. Kody has anything to say about it.  Nice knowing you, Dr. Camp. 

    Fam'ly gathering time!  Kody takes the floor and demands all eyes on him and Princess Arabelliola, who is actually quite the cutie.  Ysabel gets to tell everyone that her curve has remained the same.  Then Aspyn takes the floor and announces that she and Mitch are engaged.  Before I can blink, Aurora zooms in for a big from-behind hug with Mitch (shocker).  The calendar behind Aspyn's head reads "January" and she tells the gathering that she wants to be married in June.  I frown and ask myself, "June?  As in June of the same year?  Can she even get a venue in that short amount of time?"  But it's not my circus, so I listen as Aspyn tells the detailed story of how Mitch proposed in Seattle and got down on one knee, etc.  As much as I like Aspyn, she's not the first engaged Brownie (Maddie) and her betrothed is not the most repulsive (FT) so I kind of zoned out during this part and finished off my cheap merlot in preparation for Hour 2.

    The Brown adults couch once again to discuss the venues that they will all collectively (of course) be visiting with Aspyn and Mitch.  While Christine is talking, Janelle openly yawns - which I found much more in line with the Janelle we've all come to know.  

    First stop is The Villa.  A wise owl watches as a large convoy of SUVs pull into the parking lot and wonders why there needs to be 14 vehicles transporting nine adults.  As they all tumble out, we meet Mitch's mom Hannah.  Kody admires her purse (hee) and the two of them engage in a weird, unsettling flirtation based around how they both plan to dance like idiots at the reception and generally embarrass everyone in attendance.  Because this day isn't really about Aspyn and Mitch!  It's about Kody and his all-consuming need for attention, and now he has a brand-new captive audience in Hannah!  The Brown wives giggle and talk about how Kody likes to tease, but he doesn't tease one wife in front of the others because reasons.  The Villa is nice, and Mitch finds it suitable to seat all 400 of his first cousins.  Aspyn relates that she wouldn't mind having a wedding with just the two of them, but Mitch wants his entire ginormous family to be there - to which Aspyn replies, "it is what it is."  Oh, Aspyn.  I think you can do soooo much better than this guy.

    Next venue stop is Silver Fork Lodge.  Janelle, apparently back on Christine's expired meds, blathers on about how wonderful this place is with the trees and the pines and the stars and the moon and the unicorns.  I get so jarred when she does this.  It's like watching a marshmallow grow a mouth and start spouting Shakespeare.  Robyn gives a hearty "nope!" to this place, and Meri simpers about how she rilly can't say anything because it's not her daughter getting married.  Kody and Hannah continue to make googly-eyes across the venue table, and we are treated to a montage of Kody and his s****** dance moves.  I guess the guy has a good time, but this venue also gets a no from Kody because he is concerned that he won't be able to properly execute the "Shimmy Caveman Hair Toss" in this elevation without passing out.  On we go!

    Venue 3 looks like a castle and everyone falls in love with it at first site.  The price tag of $15,000 gives Kody pause.  Christine talks about how, in plyg culture, the details of the wedding such as food and decorations are usually handled by the vast assortment of fam'ly members.  I'm pretty sure that the Brown family did not assemble 4,000 street tacos, but I do recall the women having to sew eleven thousand pieces of cloth into Mykelti's wedding bouquets, so Christine isn't completely wrong.  Aspyn, maturely, says that she doesn't want the venue if it's going to mean a financial hardship to her parents (*coughMYKELTIcough*).  All four of Aspyn's moms assure her that if this is what she wants, this is what she will get as Kody stares off into the distance, wondering if he's going to have to hand over his hair plug allowance to cover this place.  I'm guessing that Meri has already closed on her B&B during the filming of this segment because she reaches across the table and assures Aspyn that money is no object - of course this is true, now that Meri has what she wants.  Kody figures that if he can charge the wedding guests $250 for a gin and tonic, he might actually be able to swing this place.

    I knew this 14-hour episode was too good to be true, with nary a mention of Parowan, but ha!  Time to go to Parowan, y'all!  It's Grand Opening Day!  In a couch segment that made me laugh out loud, Meri has suddenly vanished under the pretense that she's already in Parowan getting ready for the B&B opening, and yet the rest of the Brown Clowns are dressed in the exact same clothes as when Meri was sitting there.  Clever editing, that.  As the adults plus Kody's mom get ready for the drive to Parowan, Kody stares forlornly into a dresser drawer, stunned into immobility because he cannot locate his favorite belt and shoes.  This, of course, segues into a discussion of the wackadoodle life of a plyg husband.  For reasons that I don't want to examine too closely, all of Kody's underwear is at Christine's house, his socks are at Janelle's, his balls are at Robyn's and his dignity is at Meri's.  Kody continues to will the drawer to produce his belt through osmosis, but finally Christine tells him to get a move on.  Kody practically picks up his mother and shoves her into the van and off they go to Parowan!  We get to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-live the B&B drama through the use of flashbacks...and you can tell it's a flashback because Meri's fake bake is much more subdued than in present-day footage.  I start to doze as we go back in time to when Meri wasn't particularly interested in anything that didn't have to do with her desire to own that B&B at any and all costs.  Kody says that the stress of the B&B caused a lot of drama and tension between Kody and Meri.  Yeah, that's all because of the B&B, Doofus.  

    Sadly, readers, it is at this point that I decide to get ready for bed and my DVR fails to do what I asked it to do.  Having read through this thread, I see that what I missed is Meri's jubilant Grand Opening, followed by Meri and Kody sitting together on the porch, wordlessly watching their relationship literally fade into the sunset.  If this isn't the hard thump on the head that Meri needs to leave, then I'm convinced she's going to be there for the long haul. One never knows - the saying "everything old is new again" could someday apply to ol' Mere...once Kody grows tired of his skinny know-it-all wife, maybe he'll cycle back to the original?  After all, isn't that what plural marriage is all about?   

    Brilliant!  You have a way with words.  Thanks for the laughs!!

    Hell, just do some basic research. He says "I don't know" when talking about the surgery. As a parent, he should be doing a shit-ton of research to understand just how bad it can be for Ysabel if she doesn't get the surgery.

    And any father who can sit there and look at that x-ray, then only shrug his shoulders, is a heartless prick.

    I hate saying this, but my gut tells me he is against the surgery because of money...I could be way off, but I’m guessing he sees $$$, and wants to put it off if he can.  Healthcare isn’t what it used to be, and not everyone can just get the medical care they need without going into debt.

    Oh my christ the manufactured drama of finding out that :clutches pearls: Babs was married once before she met her dad! Oh my god! How will we ever survive this news! Please, someone get me a chair, I'm getting the vapors.

    "Does dad know?" WELL GEE WHITNEY I DONNO IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S A BIG GODDAMN FUCKOFF WEDDING ALBUM JUST CHILLING IN THE HOUSE.

    Not to mention (and granted, this may not be every state), but when I applied for my marriage license, there was definitely a spot for each of us to indicate which number marriage this was.

    But see, that is the thing I don't get, like there are plenty of fat fetishists and drunk horny men. Like from an anatomical standpoint I don't understand and care not to spend much time pondering how it happens but I don't doubt she can find some dude to mash his penis around her pelvic region.

    The idea of a 30 year old obese or not bragging about being sexually active is just so weird to me.

    I’ve been thinking the same thing.  It’s so bizarre how she finds any opportunity to bring up the fact that she’s had sex before.  Her behavior is reminiscent of a teenager bragging about getting laid for the first time.  I know this thread is from the first episode, but in the second episode, she points out the house where she lost her virginity...WHY?  You’re 34 years old.  It’s so strange. 

    Also, anyone wanna do an over/under on how many times she mentions that “kiss” from Buddy this season?

    She was and it was stupid because a new subway stop doesn’t happen quickly even after it is approved it literally takes years, she will be lucky if her restaurant that hasn’t even opened yet will still be open by a the time that would actually come to pass.

    Not to mention, no one from Boston calls it the subway....it’s “The T”.

    You probably wouldn't be able to tell.  I'm not trying to be rude, but my mother's college roommate was around Kate's size and didn't know she was pregnant until she was in labor.

    I had a friend who was large, but not as large as Kate, and although it sounds awful, we didn’t believe she was actually pregnant until she had the baby.  She didn’t look different at all.  I’m not trying to sound mean, but thought maybe she made it up in her mind, and needed help (she had other traumatic stuff going on in her life at the time, so it wasn’t a completely out there thought).  Point is, I learned then, it is totally possible to be pregnant and not show at all, especially if you already carry extra weight.

    Kate told kid Kate that she was going to be married to somebody who was better than Zack Morris?  I'm not sure there is anything me hopeful that she could say to an 8 year old Kate.   

    I couldn’t believe kid “me” and kid Kate had the same dream for our lives.

  17. I know the actress that plays Delilah is French, but it’s driving me crazy that Delilah seems to keep slipping in and out of the accent.  Is her character supposed to have an accent or not?  Is she just doing a bad job trying to hide it?

    ...ok, so they never said it out loud. However, with Maggie's ex calling her oncologist by his first name and Maggie correcting it to Dr. Whatever His Last Name is, I figure there's a story there so my mind immediately went to them being super close. I am willing to admit that I could be wrong on that. 

    I took it as she was she was on a first name basis with her oncologist, because he was also a colleague.  She works at a hospital.  I’m guessing the ex is also a doctor/colleague, and that’s why they all know each other so well.

    Except the show is set in Boston, not Vancouver.  Delilah is clearly supposed to live in the 'burbs (Newton, maybe?) and, really, those cups should have been from Dunkin!

    The same applies for Boston, even though it’s filmed in Vancouver.  There are no houses/neighborhoods like that in walking distance to Boston (proper) where the office is.  Honestly, that’s a pretty fancy house even for suburbs of Boston.  MAYBE Newton, Wellesley, or Weston...but you aren’t walking to downtown from there, and the commute from those towns to downtown in the am is still a nightmare.  And I know it’s blasphomy, but I wouldn’t be drinking Dunks either.

    Why was she giving him $300 when he supposedly works, too? Why didn't she get the money out of the ATM herself? So many questions.

    I believe she said something about the atm being confusing (guessing it’s not in English)  so he was doing it for her, not to keep for himself.

    Way prettier than Eyeore. Now she’ll have something else to cry about. Inferiority Complex.

    Where did you see his ex?  I’m super curious.  The closest I’ve seen is the restaurant scene where the producers teased it as his ex, but turned out to be his cousin.
