    I'm super impressed with Micah. He seems so grounded, healthy and sweet. Also very emotionally intelligent! There are some nice kids in this family. They did a lot wrong but some things right, Barry and Kim. I can't figure out if Kim is a villain or not, but I hope not. Olivia was too young when she got involved with all this to be a villain to me. I really wish everyone the best, and I'm glad they are all less screwed up than I would have predicted a couple of years ago. I think the divorce is good news for everyone. Olivia and Ethan should be next- they are obviously not compatible!

    I agree with all of this. They really are some lovely kids, with the exception of that simpering man-child Ethan and the manipulative, fake-pious Lydia. I especially like Amber and Isaac for their sweet, quiet, loving personalities. Cassia and Mercy are adorable and fun, too.

    I was annoyed 20 minutes in.  Why on earth do they spend so much time on someone who falls on the third or fourth obstacle?  That hyper girl with ADHD or something was nothing but irritating.  There were a couple more background stories on people who didn't make it to the buzzer too.  I wish they'd cut out most of the nonsense and show more runs.

    I felt bad for Vance Walker.  That kid is the real deal.  

    James McGrath seems like a nice guy but he always looks dirty.  I wish he'd shave.

    She’s my daughter and she’s actually pretty fun to be around. 😜

    Vance and James are lovely humans and are just as sincere and cool as they come across on TV. 

  3. I do not understand the timeline of this show. They have the same exact clothes on in every single talking head. It makes no sense. 
     

    Oh, and FUCK THESE MANIPULATIVE PARENTS. I literally want to smack that tiara and smug smile off Kim and Barry’s faces. 
     

    Micah and Moriah are ten times the parents to those poor sweet children than those horrible asshole adults are. When she rammed that pie into the quiet boy’s face I recoiled. What in God’s name is wrong with that woman? I really think that Cairo, Ga. CPS should make a visit to that household.

    Perhaps ANY/EVERY kind...just because it's Olivia?

     

    Yes, Olivia is certainly Kim’s Bitch Eating Crackers, isn’t she?

    Micah is just adorable to me, mainly because of his sweet personality.

    Poor Lydia is so woefully unprepared for life and reminds me of Jan Brady in the Brady Bunch movie. A young girl trapped in 1969, completely unaware that it’s 2021. I wonder who her crush, George Glass is dating.

    I just snorted.

  5. For someone who is raising 8 children, Kim has absolutely zero parenting instincts. Woman, you have 20+ years on these young adults, AND you have actually lived in the outside world, unlike them. Quit "allowing" them to come to you on "their" terms. YOU are the parent, and you are the one who should be unconditionally loving them. They are still CHILDREN. Don't just say you're there for them, be a parent and BE there for them. Text them every single day how you love them and want them back, whoever they might be as people. God, I just weep for those poor young adult children and want to fly to Buttcrack, GA and just love and support them. I can't imagine anything worse than my older teens not knowing without a doubt that my home is a safe place for them to land. 

    Regarding LA, the look of disgust that crossed Olivia's face when Ethan said he wanted to be a third wheel on her vapid California binge-drinking girls trip with Liv told me absolutely everything I need to know about how she percieves him and her marriage. She can up and move to the west coast and leave poor Ethan to his sweet little house and his his newsboy hat, jazz piano, and junk cars. He would be much better off in the long run. 

    This episode alone showed me very clearly that selfish, control-freak Kim is a 45 year old version of Olivia and dorky and emotionally-unavailable Barry is a 45 year old version of Ethan. Honestly, poor sweet Issac and the youngest blonde girl with the twee name are the only likable people in that entire house. Don't even get me started on Lydia. "Mummy, Papa, after I churn the butter and highlight my bible, can we maybe talk about whether or not I can have contact with the outside world?" Please. It's been what, a year that your family has been TLC famewhores? Drop the act. 

    Oh, and Kim, quit profiting off the story of your dead son. "Girls, earlier you were asking about the baby I ran over and killed. Let's talk about it right this minute, even though all you want to be doing is giggling and eating cheetos." Mmmmmkay, Kim and TLC.

    Seems like everybody is upset enough to start a fire. 

    So OTT. At every commercial break my husband and I are like, “Maybe Izzy started the fire.” “Maybe Bill started the fire.” “Maybe Linda started the fire.” “Oh! Maybe the manager at China Palace started the fire!”

    Elena was cutting Izzy out of the family Christmas photo because Izzy covertly gave the middle finger. 

    Out of all of the horrific mothering that has been portrayed on this show, Elena’s temper tantrum in cutting those pictures and leaving the remnants in the garbage can for Izzy to find was the most unforgivable to me.

    Right? That’s like something I’ve thought before; what happens if Bebe gets the baby back, and hits another rough time? Will she just abandon the kid again? I’m sure being a parent is tough but you can’t just give away a kid when in a crisis and expect to get them back. That’s just not fair to the kid or anyone who is taking care of the kid during that time.

    Exactly. Bebe was completely bullied by Mia into trying to get that baby back, and I’m certain she knows on her heart of hearts that Mai Ling is better off in the custody of the married rich couple with birth mother visitation.

    I do give Bill some credit for not bringing up Pearl in court to Mia. Although it probably wasn't him being altruistic, more likely either that Elena had already spoiled it by telling Mia in the bathroom or it was just to spite Elena for her episode in New York.

    Nope, Bill said it himself—he was so pissed at her because now he has “lost the element of surprise.” He knew that Mia knew he knew, and likely had an eloquently prepares response. He’s a shit father and person, but a good enough lawyer to know that nothing good was going to come of him bringing it up, other than him looking like a dick to the judge.

    Good on Brian for letting Lexie go. High school romance aside, he wanted to stick it out with her but he couldn’t get past her gross sense of entitlement to move on. Unlike Pearl, he didn’t have rose-colored glasses when it came to the Richardsons.

    Brian had no interest in going the distance with Lexie. He clearly has as much disdain for her and her family as Mia does. He was fully willing to sacrifice his principles in pursuit of sex, and once he conquered that quest, she didn’t have much else of value to offer him and suddenly he was able to stand on those principles and walk away. He was a wretched human, too.

    I loved it when Elena finally yelled at her spoiled brat of a daughter at the Christmas photo shoot, she needs to continue to put Izzy in her place. 

    Elena is the most unfit out of all of these mothers and I think “Put on the fucking Tartan Keds!” needs to be the title of a discussion thread about terrible parenting.

    I  think the only character I liked 100 percent is Brian. I liked seeing him gradually wake up when it comes to Lexie.

    Brian has been clued in all along, but he’s been blinded by the promise of that frigid bitch bootie. 

    On 6/11/2020 at 5:38 PM, luvenan said:The Keds thing was absurd, I really hate it when people bring up the argument "if you want to live in this house, you have to do everything a say". Children don't have a choice in that, and it DOESN'T mean they can't have any kind of decision making or personality. They get to be individuals. It was petty. She is a terrible mom to Izzy. They provide for her physically, but look up the experiment with the fuzzy mom and the monkey to see how important having your mother's love is - more important than almost anything else. Pearl may have had it hard in her upbriging, and Mia is messed up in several ways but she always loved her child. Although it seems like Pacey loves her, he doesn't actually protect her from Elena, so it's not enough. If he did, maybe she wouldn't feel so alone. 

    Exactly. WTF, Bill? Man up and be a parent to that poor child—she is a walking cry for help and clearly your bitch of a wife isn’t going to protect her. I completely hate him as a father.

  8. She is a wretched human. I’m watching BIP Season 3 right now where they supposedly “fell in love” and she has nothing but disdain for him. I assume she barely tolerated him for two years and then when they were forced to co-parent through Covid she couldn’t fake it any more. Those are 5 kids who are never going to have functional relationships as adults. What disgusting parental figures to model.

  9. What a weird and completely abrupt ending. I just can’t with the timeline in this show. Four episodes cover two weeks, then we jump ahead 6 months, cover another week, and then from 9 to 10 we jump 10 years? Gah.

    I wish they would tell us what she’s actually been convicted of. I’m guessing by the timeline she served around 3-6 months in jail and is now on probation. My law degree is from the School of Watching Law & Order but I was surprise when she said misdemeanor. What would the misdemeanor be? Do misdemeanors without priors involve jail time?

    I felt like this was incredibly lazy writing. The time skip, which completely glossed over any bit of the fallout from the report, did nothing to advance the story—in fact it removed me from it. It was also ridiculous that they never followed up with the teacher friend storyline .

    I assumed Logan's mother (the outraged woman in the store) was just another customer, because she was carrying her purse around.

    If that is the case then her dramatic, busybody ass needs to stay in her lane even more than I previously thought. I wanted to slap her when she was so over the top in the kitchen with manchild Logan when she was on the phone with her other Karen friend.

    I always notice the red rings around his eyes, sometimes more visible than others. 

    He likely has significant allergies, which cause contact dermatitis around his eyes and cheekbones. My son gets red, sore skin around his eyes when his ragweed allergies are particularly flaring.

    The only time I roll my eyes is when someone says the correct pronunciation with an exaggerated accent or seems to make a big deal about saying it correctly. I also think pronunciations can differ in different cultures to the point that both become correct and insisting you are right is obnoxious.

    RE: courtney's grammer - 

    We had a similar discussion about a cast-mate on another show.

    It is possible that Courtney has a verbiage at school/professional environment and uses another at home or when she is in more comfortable surroundings.

    Kinda like those acquaintances that cuss frequently or use alot of street verbiage/slang.. They translate their word choice to the audience that is in front of them.

    This is me. I have a *colorful* and generally casual vocabulary, but I don’t roll it out when I’m standing in front of college and university CFOs trying to sell them business automation software. 😉

    Jessica’s indignation that Barnett thought she had regrets about him was hysterical. He was a gentleman for not calling her out after her overly vehement denials. Never thought about it once? Yeah, right. 

    He had the biggest “bitch please” face during that scene. It was almost as funny a his hipster knit hat.

    My money is on escort.  But I think there are some SOME escorts who start out as strippers and some, SOME strippers who will do a little hooking on the side. 

    Amber saying that she "works whenever she wants" gives he escort/stripper vibes.   More escort vibes because even strippers have a schedule.  Unless she is working for Uber and I have my doubts. 

    But then that would just be normal private debt and if that's the case file bankruptcy and get that monkey off your back!  She clearly doesn't need credit if she only has a $700 Sephora card.  

    I figured she was a substitute teacher. 😂

    Lauren and Cameron’s love captivates me. They seem more “right reasons” than anyone on any of these shows. So nice to see their mature conversations and respect for one another. 

    Same. I love how they talk so openly about their concerns about the challenges of interracial dating, too. It’s 2020 and Reality TV needs 100x more of these types of conversations. I am enjoying watching them. They both seem very sincere and kind.

    It was blue food coloring.  In season 1, Wendy told Marty that she was a rebellious teenager. She never did anything serious, but would break into people's homes and hang out for a while... drink a beer or two, put blue food coloring in their milk, turn some photos upside down, and leave. She was visiting that same behavior in this episode, presumably for a final time in her life.

    Yes, and if you think about it, it’s especially diabolical. They would know immediately upon getting home that their space had been violated. They’d call the police, have a cursory investigation done, and then would lock themselves in feeling on edge and exposed. The feelings would somewhat dull overnight and into the next day, they’d get their locks changed, and then BAM, pour a glass of milk and be violated all over again.

    They had maybe six episodes worth of story, at least the way they are telling it.  All these long long endless shots of someone sitting are ridiculous.  The scene with Ralph talking to the therapist?  Shot so that you can't see the face of the therapist, but for some reason they've put graying lenses over the camera so you can barely make out Ralph either.  A little of that goes a long way.

    I'm tempted to just stop off at the library, find the book, and read the last 30 pages.

    Gah, me too. It’s a difficult show to watch back to back—the dramatic long shots with alternating focus in-focus out movements are way too over the top.
