There was only ~1 minute of "bonus" material in each episode and most of it was the same old stuff we'd heard before. Kootie's “she’s gonna wetbar the sh*t out of this situation” was the only real gem.

Yes, I was confused too. This week it was shown as if they flew back to Chicago right after the wedding venue viewings (and announcement of plans to move to SLC), and then immediately drove/moved from Chicago days later. But Mariah looked like she had gained ~40 lbs in the "~week" between the wedding venue viewings and the "emergency" phone call. They were probably calling from one of Meri's several unused bedrooms. No wonder they and the dogs did not look like they'd been cooped inside the vehicles for 24 hours & didn't seem to have any luggage/household contents. They probably rented the van in Flagstaff for the revisionist-history reenactment. Curiously, Mariah's last "Chicago Days" IG posting was 78 weeks ago (Sept 2019). I too think she flunked or dropped out long before COVID.

Not only were they able to drive themselves "home" to Flag, they drove two separate vehicles and were able to rent the white van too.

I suspect Kootie also hangs out alone at Meri's when she is at the BnB (or travelling) and Robyn & her kids are driving him bonkers.

Having a dishwasher and sink full of dishes and an exercise bike covered in laundry or Christmas trees is depressing. Waking up every morning to so many chores can overwhelm a person into inaction. Her kids are all old enough to drive, so why aren't they putting their own dishes in the dishwasher? and the last person to fill it turns it on. It is great to wake up in the morning to a clean kitchen. The way to accomplish it is to not go to bed without cleaning up first. It takes only a minute or two and you don't need to be wide awake to do it.

Ha ha. I too worried that Burnt Sienna might feel left out, but left it untouched since I thought it might prefer to stand taller and pristine.

I'm the same way, though sometimes really bad storylines can ruin things. I loved watching Ray Wise playing an awful character. I liked watching Kevin's acting w/Jana and as a computer geek at the GCPD, but the chipmunk storyline turned his scenes into FF material as do scenes with Chloe. So the actor, the character and the situations the writers put them in all affect whether I enjoy watching them or find myself wearing out my Fast Forward button.

Sunny, Joy & Don Lemon were all invited to Ana's wedding and seemed to be having a great time in the photos showed on The View at the time.

I was thankful he didn't start talking about which menstrual products can be flushed. Being Kody, you know he'd claim to be the expert.

I she doing seances to get advice from her mom? Google would be faster.

It is 3 quarts! The last time I saw one was in the kitchen of my school cafeteria.

She probably pays them to sit on her lap and pretend to love her.

Flagstaff is on Mountain Time & this thread shuts down before they can even watch it.

I doubt she ever showed the magic elixir (banned in several countries) to Axel's doctor. It is not uncommon for good pre- and pro-biotics to cause some digestive issues when you first start taking them because they are ridding your gut of all the bad bacteria that has colonized it during a lifetime of eating junkfood. The doc or Maddie's "extensive research" would have told her that. I believe the pics of the kids' bodies covered in chocolate sauce and smearing it on the floor post-dated her claims of cleaning up their diet a lot.

Thankfully they found some nails. We were wondering how the oxen could lose all their shoes without throwing a nail, unless the island never had a decent farrier.

I wonder if the Plexus made him hyperactive or exacerbated some of his problems? If it can help new mothers lose weight and give them energy, it must have some stimulants in it. Three of the main ingredients listed are chromium, green coffee bean extract and the fruit extract garcinia cambogia.

Kootie also had a couple of dozen fancy watches. Apparently being a hot salesman/closer required him to spend more on his own car/clothes/hairplugs/watches than he spent on the rest of the fambly combined. Personally I don't buy things from salesmen or hire realtors/lawyers/whatever who drive cars or wear stuff that is extravagantly expensive. It just screams that they charge their customers/clients too much.

Plexus is banned in Canada. I don't think the FDA in the US bothers to do lab analyses of stuff like Plexus or LIV products until they kill several people, but does tell companies to remove certain health claims from their labels.

LIV International is based in Orem Utah and is another multi-level-marketing pyramid scheme that sells overpriced health & beauty products with unsubstantiated health claims. One of the things they sell is bottled "LIV water". For all we know it is Orem tap water in fancy bottles.

The mind boggles, but she may have borrowed against her equity in the LV house for the downpayment on the Flag house. By the time she sold the LV house and with all the carrying & closing costs, she probably netted $0 or lost money in the transaction. Was Christine the one who put it on the market before they covered over their Fambly Handprints patio, fixed the broken cabinets & baseboards and hadn't erected the fence between it and the adjacent house?

She probably is 😞 . I recall her giving Axel LIV water when he was having "digestive issues". He probably just needed hydration, where tap water was all that was needed.

I wish they would! There is plenty of contradictory fodder for several seasons. Watching some of the (minimal) bonus episodes for this season, I focused on people in the background and their subtle & not-so-subtle reaction faces and found myself laughing more than the first time I watched.

There also are several colleges and universities in or near LV that have programs for students with autism. They could have all stayed in the cult-de-sac if Kootie hadn't miscalculated how much they could get for their homes. If they could arrange "creative financing" for Robyn's million dollar home in Flagstaff and Meri's BnB, they could arrange something similar when their balloon mortgages came due. Though I suspect Kootie may have also been running away from creditors &/or investors in his shady businesses. I watched some of the bonus versions. The first time I watched I tended to focus on the person speaking. The second time I watched the faces of the listeners & avoiders, which was very enlightening, and funny!

I rewatched this episode looking out for what someone on here mentioned. At the Dargers, the men stand back with Kootie trying to charm Joe, all the ladies dive in to prepare lunch ... EXCEPT Robyn, who stands back doing absolutely nothing, but was first in line to load up her plate. So she certainly acts like a Queen bee with no kitchen duties, just like the men.

I wasn't expecting Axlebrush to vacuum perfectly, but it would help if his father knew how to vacuum and modeled the best way to do it for his son. When I was Axel's age I watched my uncle mow his lawn efficiently with an electric mower and how he planned it out to never run over or have to constantly move the cord. I never forgot it and applied the principle to vacuuming, ironing, and using everything else with a cord.
