And, one more question, perhaps someone can explain to me: if they are in such serious financial straits, HOW do they move (not cheap) and then buy expensive land to build more expensive houses while renting expensive temporary homes?? All without having sold their Vegas homes??? (I realize their loans were interest only in Vegas but it still makes no sense to me.) They must have money somewhere or no bank/mortgage lender would approve ANY of that! It makes no sense to me. Do Janelle and Christine even work? And, wth does Kody do that gives them enough money for homes/lifestyle like this?? It boggles the mind.

I am, once again, astounded by Meri's eye makeup. When she and Christine were talking on the couch (or while Meri was crying "Poor me, everybody hates me YET AGAIN), the difference in them was so stark. Meri's eyes were BLACK, all the way around, BLACK. And does she have ANY natural eyebrow. It look like she uses a stencil to pain on gray eyebrows!?? Christine is a much more natural beauty. But I can't stand Meri or anything about her, really.

I felt REALLY bad for her because I imagine her teammates were NOT happy, and she looked genuinely embarrassed and mortified at the same time.

This made me CRAZY!! But, then I wondered if they did that on purpose to use up some time. It was awful!

TAR is coming back??? I'll have to google those details. I thought it was gone forever, and we LOVE it!

I have one of these in my kitchen! Used it for dinner last night, in fact. Have never heard of the term "runcible". Learned something new today!

So they have moved to Flagstaff and the homes aren't sold??? Have any of them sold?

I'm not from Pittsburgh, but I am from eastern PA, and I know enough to know that Jack wouldn't be sitting outside on the porch, surrounded by green grass, flowering bushes, and chirping birds in February in Pittsburgh! Nor would he be lifting weights in an unheated, uninsulated garage in Pittsburgh, in February. Come on....

Not off topic at all! Many congratulations! I'll be watching and cheering you on--assuming you use the name "Teebax"on Jeopardy, which I'm sure you will. wink wink Congrats again! That's something to be VERY proud of!

THIS! I looked at my husband and said "Seriously, another depressing story line?" I'm quickly losing interest. And can anyone clue me in on what the deal is with Delilah's HAIR?? It always looks like she just woke up, cut it herself with gardening shears, and called it good?? It's awful! One other thing: so your "dream of a restaurant" is 24 hours from it's big opening, and you have no liquor license or bartender?? Yet, you have time to drive to track down a sick uncle because you're mad he gave you money?? Obviously, she's been dealing with the effects of the sexual abuse for many years so it strikes me as strange that the situation had to be handled THAT day--and she felt no compulsion to tell her partner where she was. The timing makes no sense--as with most of this show. Also, Delilah constantly resting her hand on Eddie's baby bump was just----weird. It was like they were reminding us "she's pregnant, in case you forgot."

Meri is one of the most insufferable, selfish human beings ever. Maybe it's editing, maybe not, but she is the WORST. And does she have ANY real eyebrows or does she paint them on EVERY day? I remember Moriah giving her a hard time once because they were so thin. It seems like they aren't so thin anymore, but they are definitely painted on. I'm not so sure the porch scene wasn't staged a bit. No doubt, there's tension between Meri and Kody but I'm not so sure it's as bad as TLC would have us think.

This! I feel like all the banter about wedding costs is just staged. Do they really NOT have the money? Surely, TLC pays some or, at the very least, is paying them all enough per episode to be able to afford the wedding. Seems like they always seem to get what they want anyway, regardless of the cost, so I feel like this is just a "discussion"for production and it's all a bunch of crap!

YES! These types of inconsistencies drive me crazy!

I agree with this. Alex is getting increasingly annoying to me. Last Monday, he made some inane comment about how poorly Friday champs seem to do after a weekend break. I think a comment like that is so rude and disparaging to the champ. I was glad Anneke went on to win that day! Jill, it was a pleasure to watch you! Although I'm a newer forum member, I felt like I "knew" someone famous who was on TV, and it was fun! You did a great job! I had zero idea about the FJ answer. I was lamenting the fact that you didn't get Statue of Liberty or some such other easy clue. Congratulations on a job well done!

I got FJ, too! The song from "Annie" always helps me to remember who was President during the Depression-era. "We'd like to thank you Herbert Hoover....." Whatever works!

I did not know this! Thank you for explaining. It's still annoying but now it's an understandable annoyance! :-) As a disheartened Os fan-this made me sad too! At my house, we were all yelling at the TV! Good luck! We'll be watching!

I didn't like Dave at all. And he just wasn't smart--in how he played the game, at least. But I didn't like Jessica either. I hated the way she would answer as she was scanning the board for her next clue choice--like she was certain she had gotten it correct and was moving right along. And then, almost without fail, every time she answered incorrectly, she acted shocked and horrified. Not sad to see her go. I really liked the new champ and hope she has a long run. She seemed very bright about a lot of different things. Side note: does it bug anyone else when the contestants just click click click endlessly on their buzzer buttons---so much so that everyone can hear it? I guess I can't say what I would do were I ever a Jeopardy contestant but the aggressive buzzer bashing makes me nuts! LOL!

I haven't read all the above posts so, forgive me if this is a repeat. I have two questions: 1. Can we safely assume that Ashley and Jon were sleeping together or that he has a whole separate life with her? 2. How will they either a. make Maggie choose the chemo or b. somehow make her live (scans were wrong, etc?) They sure are dragging that out. And, for someone who is supposed to be dying of cancer within months, she seems remarkably healthy and energetic. And, while I understand it happens A LOT, I do have a hard time understanding WHY there are so many unplanned pregnancies. Heck, birth control is FREE and readily available. It just doesn't make sense to me: if you don't want to get pregnant, be smart and make sure you don't--especially if you're having an affair with your husband's best friend! As the mom of four kids, all of whom were planned, it just doesn't seem that hard to me. Obviously birth control has been known to fail, but I would guess that accounts for a very low number of unplanned pregnancies. And I'm not just talking about hormonal high school kids; this happens to adults, married and unmarried, all the time. My own mother had three unplanned pregnancies. I just can't wrap my brain around how that happens. If you're not using birth control, you're basically "trying" to get pregnant, aren't you?

So, unless I've missed it (which is entirely possible), all we know about Emily is that she's a "professor" in Swarthmore, PA. Google helped me find that she's a Russian language prof at Swarthmore College. I'm curious why she's been so vague in her introductions/interviews. Also, is she expecting? (Dangerous question, I know, I know.) I thought maybe she was after last night's game. If so, I think it's also odd that that hasn't been mentioned. I like her a lot, and I hope she continues to do well! As the wife of a teacher, I know that teachers everywhere can always use an extra 60K or more!

This! So tacky and unprofessional!

I grew up in Berks County and spent MANY Saturdays at the KOP mall. It's unreal. I haven't been there in a while, but my family who still lives in the area tells me it's quite the place. Hope you get to visit. For the record, I grew up with Wawa and Turkey Hill, lived in Baltimore with Royal Farms and, now, Sheetz. We now live in Charlotte, which is sorely bereft of any decent places like these. (QT doesn't even hold a candle to the giants up north.) I feel a bit disloyal, but I have to say Sheetz is the BEST, far and away. Sorry!

I'm with you! And the false humility he exudes in his answers that always sound like he's just not sure (when he knows full well he has the correct answer) plus the fact that he often gives, what I would call incomplete answers, really grate on my nerves. Hoping he's dethroned soon.

LOL! Not sure if this is a tongue-in-cheek rhetorical question or not, but I'll bite (pun intended). It was cereal boxes, mac and cheese boxes, and those individual cups of cereal with the pull pack plastic tops. Definitely not food from the 70s!

I was pretty ambivalent about this episode. What bothers me is the little things: like Jack would have surely had a military hair cut in Vietnam. They all would have! And, last week, when he spoke to Rebecca in the store while his mom looked at the pies, there was obviously 2018 food on the shelves. I think, overall, they do a great job being time-period authentic so it really bugs me when they miss these little things. Nit picky, I know!
