That’s what I figured. This house will just go to the next Howler who goes a-courtin’. No need to worry about selling to heathens.

Doesn’t she send them to private school? They’ll let in whoever they want, vaxxed or not.

I had the same problem the other day buying from Apple. But, I went back today to rewatch the delightful Kokoson service, and surprise! There was an extra 7 minutes. So, try again if you really want to see the end. I think they fixed the problem.

I think Leah blew all her money on drugs a few years ago. She seems like she’s doing better now, but that was part of Cory’s allegations against Leah when he was trying to get more custody back then. If I remember correctly, he said Leah had even stolen money from the girlses college funds. As for Briana, I think it’s partly that she hasn’t been on the show as long as the others. We also don’t see newcomer Jade building a house, either. They don’t have the years and years of TM money. Also, as crazy as she is, I think Bri is the only one with money sense. That’s why she’s still working at that timeshare place. And really, we shouldn’t think these girls can spend like Kail. Hell, Kail can’t spend like Kail! Girl’s living way beyond her means.

Errr...am I supposed to believe that Creed and Lux are bio brothers? Ok, ok. I know genetics are a funny thing, but seeing Creed for the first time since he was a newborn (I haven’t seen any of his pics on SM since then) really made me believe those rumors that Javi is Creed’s dad.

I...don’t think Amber misheard Kristina’s statement about being a bonus mom. I think Amber is literally so self-absorbed and delusional that she’s mad Kristina didn’t say MORE to defend Amber. I think Amber wanted Kristina to gush about her, like, “Oh no, I’m just the bonus mom. Your real mom is Amber and you know she loves you so much and she has done so much for you...yada, yada, yada.” When it comes to the Bentley situation, I think Maci and Taylor would be fine with them seeing Bentley more, IF Jen and Larry could keep their relationship with Bentley 100% separate from their relationship with Ryan. But they just can’t seem to do that. They could have their cake and eat it too, but they’re too busy trying to force Bentley over to his father’s house, to hug Ryan, etc.

Ugh, Larry did that stupid tropey thing I hate where he pointed at Stella and said some shit about keeping a real close eye on her/locking her up when she’s a teenager, hardy har. Yeah, never mind all those grandsons you have who will be teenagers before Stella, Larry. Let’s make sure we only worry about the girl as a teen. *eyeroll*

It's the other way around. The party on the 9th for filming is at Ryan and Mac's house, and there's another party later at Jen and Larry's for people who don't want to film. When Bentley said yes, he thought he was saying yes to the party at his Mimi's house because that's what she told him. Turns out it's actually at Ryan's house. Jen claims she got the dates mixed up. Maci and Taylor don't believe it was an accident, and are not happy with Jen and Larry for disrespecting Bentley's feelings and boundaries with Ryan.

If I'm to believe that Hannah was never good, then I'd have to ignore 2 seasons of the judges telling us how amazing Hannah is and how she was fire, not to mention them putting her on show group as a rookie and her following year. I think it's a subjective judgement call if you think Hannah was standing up for herself or being petulant at her cut, but I don't know how anyone who watched the last few seasons can honestly say Hannah's not a good dancer.

Yeah, Maci's not the greatest, and I wouldn't want to coparent with her either, but to pretend she's Ryan's actual problem is ridiculous. Jen and Larry (mostly Larry) let Ryan go on and on about how EVERYTHING is Maci's fault, and it's the height of coddling codependency. I actually don't even understand why Maci and Chelsea let the parents of their deadbeat exes have so much involvement and say in Bentley's and Aubree's lives. Nurturing grandparent relationships can be a good thing, but 11 years on, it's just led to these enabling coddlers having waaayyyy too much control over their families' lives and schedules. I get they were young moms when it all started, and still trying to make it work with their baby daddies, but I wonder if they look back and regret that part.

What mood swings? Hannah was ice cold during that last call with K&J (for which people are calling her all sorts of names). I can't recall seeing any other extreme moods from Hannah, either high or low, from her other seasons. Brennan and Lily displayed far more emotion in their cuts. And personally, I don't think K&J deserve anyone's tears; they're not worth it, and I'm glad Hannah didn't give them any.

Anyone else get the feeling that Kelli realized how upset a lot of the vets were about the cuts? Kelli never usually talks to the girls about cut vets, let alone gets emotional about it. Wondering why she put on that show for the team.

Except TPTB failed to actually support the narrative that some of these vets were weaker than some of these rookies. The editors knew this was going to be the outcome before they started working on the season's storylines, but still didn't sell it. Either the editors hate Kelli and Judy, or they're bad at their job.

Kelli and Judy are being willfully ignorant about what Brennan said. She was pretty clear what she meant by the direction DCC is going in. She mentioned how DCC are supposed to be great performers as well as smart, accomplished, well-spoken, well-rounded people. Obviously she thinks K&J are running off all of those women in favor of...others. I can't say I totally disagree with her, although I believe it's moreso that K&J have only ever paid lip service to those ideals while making it practically impossible for driven, mature, professional women to also jump through all their ridiculous hoops to be in this team.

Does anyone know when/if we'll see Taylor the teacher? She only came in for one day or so, right? I thought she came in for solos/show group auditions, but I didn't see her in the episode. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they don't mention her at all this season, since it would further highlight how unsafe and unsecured "the bubble" really was.

If there are only 8 episodes, then they need to get started crafting Brennan and Lily's storylines soon. They've already begun with showing us how they want to spin Hannah's and Meredith's exits, but they've made exactly zero mention of Brennan and Lily so far. Also, Judy's response to Kelli at the end when Kelli asked her to help with the tough decision about cutting vets, says it all. Judy made an outraged noise and face, clearly indicating that she wasn't going to jump in and take on the shit work when Kelli never listens to her opinion anyway. I hope somebody makes a GIF of that moment.

So the Duggar’s teacher (Ben) can’t read an analog clock. Whoo-boy, I feel for these 2nd generation pupils of the SOTDRT.

People think you’re creepy Dave because you are creepy.

Just American Samoans, though, right? I think Asuelu’s 2 half-sisters are American Samoan, but his dad and other siblings are Samoan. Not sure about his mom.

TLC’s chosen storyline for this season?

Oh, but the great thing about this show is that you can hate everyone—no choosing necessary! Both Family Libby and Andrei are awful.

Did Chuck just say that Andrei’s family lives in the projects? Gross dude keeps getting grosser. Is there nothing too low for him?

What the heck is a “weird little emoji feeling”? It could be any of these: 🤭😬🤮😨🤬

You got it. Asuelu was just another example in this franchise of vacation sex erroneously leading to baby and marriage (also see: Deavan and Ari). Oh, except he’s from Samoa, not American Samoa. If he was from the latter, they would have never been on a show about people who need K1 visas.

Wait, wut? This is one of the weirdest takes on 90DF I’ve ever read. Also not super applicable to Kalani and family. They’re pretty religious; it’s why she was a virgin until Asuelu. 😉
