RE: The huge bites and talking with a full mouth.... On one of the cooking contest shows (maybe Next Food Network Star?) they were teaching the contestants how to do a video/review and IIRC they were telling them they needed to take a bite and have their "reaction" for the money shot. Basically it boiled down to them taking a huge bite of whatever and doing the foodgasm noises, flailing body movements, and describing the food. The celebrity secret was to take the bite and chew some, then talk with the food over in their cheek or something disgusting like that. Amy takes that to the extreme.

Other brides have worn the jewelry gifts their husbands gifted them. I remember 1 wearing a necklace even though she had on a necklace and the 2 seemed to be tangling or clashing. But she wore it. Might have been Paige? It was an infinity necklace.

or the mess of having that bunch stay there.

I saw someone suggest Olivia. How about just Olive. Then they can nickname her Evoo.

I think Matt may have talked about his dream of the kids each having their own house on the land. It would probably require dividing it up into parcels or something like that to be able to build. Can't remember when that was, before or after heading towards divorce.

I posted on another thread here that she did say something about being a lien holder when she was signing the paperwork. I'm betting it's an installment loan buyout rather than flat-out buyout because Matt doesn't have the money to pay for it outright. {edited for spelling]

Maybe that's the cure for sailing dick chafe disease?

I was wondering their religious slant when the wife made some comment about whether they would adopt more.... My quiver is full or something to that affect. Is TLC that tied to cult religions?

I know this is an old episode. I just got home from the grocery store and this was on the TV when I turned it on. So odd to have the daughter and not the wife. Odder yet the voice. The dad has some squeaky undertones to his voice, at times - when the daughter stops talking long enough for him to get a word in edgewise. [eta: Sooooo...... I can't let sleeping dogs lie. Had to consult the Googles. Daughter is a youtuber. Meghan McCarthy. That explains why she's the only one yapping on the show.

The Social Media <flounce off> Attentionwhoring maneuver.

RE: The sale of the big house property, IIRC Amy made a comment as she was signing or after she signed the papers something to the effect that she's the lien holder now. So that makes me think it was an "owner finance" type sale. [eta: so she wouldn't have gotten a lump sum payment, but will be receiving payments from Matt]

I've wondered if the experts are watching the dinners via closed circuit cameras while it's happening or if they're watching the edited show and commenting like they do on TLC Pillow Talk shows. IF they were watching in real time, yeah.... they should say/do something at some point like at the commitment ceremony. If it's commentary that's edited into what is picked to be aired or maybe they're watching all the footage and whatever the comment the worst on gets put on the show?

I recently read through every.single.post on the 19 Things I Hate thread to see if 1 of the biggest things I cannot stand had been mentioned. I didn't see it there, but I am happy that others have posted it here..... The Massacre March song that they play at the Duggar weddings. ps - Honey Boo Boo's Mama June had orange in her wedding. So it's not a widely used wedding color. Just used by the best of the best!

I could have sworn he said "unfeathered" access.

Water moccasins are poisonous. Maybe she was implying that Natalie get bit and die?

I just ran across this thread and have a question and I haven't read the whole thread to see if it's been discussed. I like Pillow Talk because they seem to say a lot of the same things I'm thinking when watching. Does anyone know if the Pillow Talkers are watching the episode via a Zoom? They seem to have some of the same reactions to the scenes they show. Like the editors show us those scenes that the majority of the PT'ers react to?

Didn't they have a gender reveal party? Maybe showered at the same time? As others have discussed about their car situation, I've noticed that they always seem to be in an Uber situation when they're out around NOLA so they may not have a car. Since Jovi was gone for so long before/when the baby was born, Yara may not have been able to get around by herself to gather necessary items. I would think that would be kind of a pain if you only have Uber or Shank's mare as your transportation methods.

I keep seeing the previews with Kalani telling Asuelu they need to spice up their sex life. Please Sweet Baby Jesus, don't let her talk to Angela for pointers. Although that would explain why every top she wears is a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. "Hey there big guy! What you wanna do with these? *shake* *shake*"

FTFY 😄

I worked with someone like that before. It was so infuriating that I had to hold myself back from whacking him on the back of the head to knock the words out.

She has all her back muscles and probably the most spine of all the females in the family.

With no shirt underneath?

Their law enforcement friend that gave him the "stern talking to" that is now in jail?

Men can have and pass yeast infections. So if you treated and he didn't....

I actually did the Nielsen thing back around 2013-2014. In total I got paid around $1000-1500 (in increasing quarterly installments). At the time, they tracked 2-3 ways, your TV, your smartphone and your computer. You could opt for just monitoring your TV or add on phone or computer via apps on either of those. But you had to have the TV. One was via the box they attached to your TV. They actually open up your TV and clip a sensor to the wire that is sending video and audio to the screen. It tracks whatever you watch via the signaling that is added by the broadcasting entity that includes 2 "channels", the actual audio/video for the show and the show identification information (think like the way some car radios will play the music and display the station and song information if available). It would capture information on anything that was put on the screen whether that came from cable, over-the-air antenna, HDMI or other inputs, DVD player, DVR recording, etc. It could differentiate if you were watching live or recorded. Every 15 minutes or so, I had to press a button on their remote to clear an "are you still there" flashing light on the box so they could tell if someone was actually watching. If it didn't get the proper response, the data collection would stop and not start again until I acknowledged. There were multiple buttons that could be used to acknowledge - set up for which viewer in the household. I had to set up a profile one for my mom when she came to help me after I had surgery. That way, they could tell which person was watching (me, mom or "non-household member/group/guests/temporary viewers"). The Smartphone and computer tracking apps didn't require acknowledgement, they sort of tracked all the time from what they explained. I opted not to do those. You got paid an additional fee for those. Back then, there weren't really any streaming services. More just watching a show by going to the show website and watching or maybe watching videos on youtube. It tracked web browser activity.
