Or, they could have rented mobile homes in park all within walking distance from each other, except I've been told they are too good for something like that. Lol
No way in hell Robyn's going back in a trailer. Meri either. Janelle would probably love it.

Paedon is three years older than Gabriel. He was already an adult and they couldn't tell him where to live.
Ah, yes, thank you. That makes more sense.
STOP MAKING THEIR DECISIONS MAKE SENSE! It's much less fun that way 🙂

I feel sad for Gabe. First Jangle was adamant about not pulling him out of school in LV, then she does a complete 180 for no discernible reason, insisting he can’t stay to finish school. Then it turns out that Meri will be staying in LV anyway. No wonder he is livid. IMO Gabe is the one most likely to snap.
And, if what someone upthread said is true, Paedon is also living somewhere else with Tony and Mykelti. So why was he allowed to when Gabe wasn't. I know they have different moms, and apparently Christine isn't as adamant about "having the privilege of raising [her] kids," but in this instance I think there should have been one standard applied to all.
And for that matter, isn't it interesting that "where they go one, they go all" . . . unless it's Meri? Then Kody's perfectly fine with her being 4 hours away. When it's his choice, mind you, not when it's hers.
FYI, for and cord cutters here who don't know and still haven't watched, you can see the first episode (or first half of what they showed last night) for free on TLC currently without a subscription. That's how I watched it. For the second half I'm having to get . . . creative. 🙂

Does anyone know if episodes are up on Hulu the next day? I'd love to volunteer to recap but I need a reliable way to watch it within a day or so and I don't have cable any more. But I do have Hulu (without live TV).

I moved to MT from CA 15 years ago, when I was house hunting I found a great community I wanted to buy into. But when I said I sold online (eBay) I was denied because of the UPS/USPS traffic it would cause. So yes, I suspect the neighbors didn't want the added traffic an online business would cause.
This makes reasonable sense for why she'd be denied living there. But why would the cops get involved? Maybe she refused to leave? Just seems weird.

Welcome back😁
Thanks! Haven't been around much in recent months/years. I lurk a lot though. But holiday breaks are the few times I have to sit down and actually type out thoughts (I'm a teacher).
Plus for some reason I've gotten crazy into this show again, rewatching old seasons that I've already seen several times. This family just fascinates me. I'm also right now captivated by examining similarities between Kody's messed up psychology and Trump's. 🙂

Didn't she have to move because the landlord had sold the home?
That makes the most sense. But of course they'll sell it as persecution.

Ah, Absalom found the other more detailed descriptions I had seen but couldn't turn up. Thanks. So even if it is neighbors calling the cops because of cameras or traffic or just general hullabaloo, I can't imagine they would be able to make her leave the neighborhood. I guess unless the landlord kicks her out to curry favor with the neighbors.
My guess is she gets offended that people don't want her here, will make it all about how they are prejudiced against polygamists, and they'll play out the whole persecution narrative again and she leaves in a high dudgeon and huffs all the way back to Parowan. Meanwhile the neighbors are all probably like, "Girl, I don't give a crap who you sleep with, just knock off the racket!!"

So I found descriptions for episodes 1 and 2 of the new season. They're the ones that Google turns up, but I read similar descriptions elsewhere, just can't remember where:
"Episode 1: Kicked Out
The wives begin to unpack after moving the family to Flagstaff, Ariz.; the cops pay a visit to Meri's new rental property.
Episode 2: Happier Alone?
The neighbors drive Meri out of town; the Las Vegas properties aren't selling."
So . . . this stuff about Meri being driven out of town? Have we heard anything about that? I don't remember reading that anywhere. The other description I read (that I can't find now) said something about her being driven out of the rental house she had (for some kind of technical or contractual reasons?)
Did I miss this? Or is it TLC exaggerating something? They just can't resist a good "driven out" storyline, can they?

Boo-fucking-hoo Mariah.
I left home today at 6am, after starting my day at 4am (after being woken twice in the night by my toddler), dropped kids at daycare, long commute, finished work at 5pm, another long commute, picked my kids up after 6, then home to feed them, bathe them, read to them, make lunches for tomorrow, put them to bed, it’s now 9.30pm and I’m just sitting for the first time in hours by myself to scoff down dinner while reading this thread before doing necessary housework and repeating it all again tomorrow. Enjoy lounging with your feet up complaining about how long YOUR fancy free childless student day is, you clueless moron 😆
I sincerely hope this post doesn’t come across as ‘poor me’, she just needs a serious reality check if a few 12 hour days of life is worth a ‘I work so hard’ post. I was pulling 12 hour shifts even as a teenage checkout chick and then studying after as well once 🙄 This is a completely normal day for many working or studying people, (especially parents), most of the world is in the same boat, or much worse off than you, when it comes to being busy. Welcome to reality special snowflake.
I always told my college students "If you think you're busy now, wait til you have a family and a job." They never believe you when you tell them that college is the most unstructured time they're likely to ever have in life.
Grad school is admittedly harder, but as someone who did grad school part-time while working full time and having two young kids, I don't have much sympathy for someone doing grad school full-time with no children to care for. That's the dream for most grad students.

Cranky or Crotchety Old Ladies. They don't need to be old if they have long hoses with which to persuade kids to get off their lawns.
Thanks to everyone for enlightening me. I wondered at one point if it was Cranky Old Lady but wasn't sure.
BTW, where do I get my COL jacket? Or sweater, I guess? 😊

Ok forgive my unwoke oldness. But what does COL stand for? I thought it was "crying out loud" but it seems you guys are using it differently.
-
I guess I'm misremembering, because I thought Maritza DIDN'T speak Spanish, or at least not well. Wasn't that established in an earlier season? Or am I confusing her with someone else?
Also, can someone explain to me what was going on with McCullough and the storage unit that seemed to belong to . . . Alex? I guess? That was weird. I must have missed something.
-
I probably missed this somewhere so please forgive...
But what the hell is "pre-evacuated"? Packed up and ready to go?

Even though I've seen every episode more than once, I have just rewatched the entire series because I need background noise in my head while doing stuff to keep the crazy at bay. And after doing so I must reiterate what I said in the very first post in this thread many moons ago . . .
I'd be friends with Christine. I really would. She's hilarious. She clearly has questionable judgment in men and belief systems, IMO, but I think she'd be a scream to play games with. And she seems like the only wife who doesn't ever question this weird situation she's gotten herself into. In fact, she seems to thrive in it, so . . .good for her, I guess?
Anyway, Christine, next time I go to the Grand Canyon I'm gonna look you up, girl!

Convinced that the single house was just a storyline for the season. The drafting architect got some free publicity. It was never gonna happen.
Yes, this is what I was coming here to say. I'm pretty sure that was all done just for the show to create "drama." Kody knows his wives won't go for it, that it is impractical and too expensive (etc) but he's doing it for the cameras. TLC either paid that draftswoman for else she did it for free for the exposure. That's how it read to me from the very beginning.

NAU does not appear to have any kind of a particular special program for people with disabilities. So first question is why is he even going there in the first place, rather than one of the schools in Las Vegas, which would require no uprooting whatsoever?
If Dayton does not require living with a full-time helper, then he could live in a dorm on campus (with or without special accommodations regarding roommate or absence of one) , and they could hire a trained professional to have daily in-person or on-the-phone check-ins with Dayton, and basically be on-call for Dayton for whatever needs arise. And they could still pay for an apartment for Robyn.
I'm a former college professor. Any college or university that receives federal funds, which includes students receiving federal financial aid (so, basically all schools) are required as part of that arrangement to have some sort of disability services office and programs to assist students with special physical, mental or psychological needs. The school is required to make reasonable accommodations in classwork, housing, transportation, etc. if the student provides official proof of a diagnosis from a doctor or mental health professional. So as long as Dayton has documentation, he should be able to get help.
I don't know if that help will extend to having a live-in helper (I've never heard of that). But I have seen students who have an assistant come with them to class to help them by taking notes for them or answering questions, or working with them one on one. And then he could get accommodations on his assignments (like giving him extra time on tests; giving him extensions on due dates, etc.)

I think it's a Luke Spencer perm, personally. But, seriously, it is not 1978, so what the fuck is he wearing on his head?
I honestly don't get how they moved. I moved a fair amount as a kid and changed schools several times. It was always fine, until it suddenly . . . wasn't. I was in a different school for every year of middle school and it was only a problem with the last move, it's the only one that bothered me. Once we did the last move, I looked at my parents and said, I am not doing this again, we need to stay here until I graduate. I'm NOT leaving. In retrospect, I am not sure why I thought I had a choice, really, because if they had opted to move, they weren't the type of parents who would have let me stay at a friend's house until the school year was done, but, they evidently did take what I said into consideration and I finished high school in that town. I totally get Janelle not wanting to move her kids, and I don't know why the wives can't stand firm against Kody on this. Or have some sort of compromise. Sell the houses, but consolidate into 1 rental in the area with the high school aged kids for 2 years. Maybe Janelle stays up there most of the time and is "mom" so she can also see her grandkid, but the other mom's can come and go. That lets them maximize the money they get to take (ha!), but they'd also be able to let the kids continue in the situation that is best for them, and honestly, is it that big of a deal if they are apart for a few years? It wouldn't be fulltime, just the school year and it's only 2 years.
But, but . . . .where they go one they go all!

Light dawns! Kody and Robyn discussed this, neither of them wanted to stay in Vegas. The two of them made the decision before the whiteboard "presentation." The rest of them just had to go along with it.
Yes, she wanted to be in the same town where Dayton went to college. Normally I would consider that diva-like behavior from someone who wanted to continue being the center of her son's world. But, having a somewhat developmentally delayed child myself, one who needs more support and help than most others his age, I can sympathize with what she did. Or at least, I understand there might have been a less than selfish motivation there.
Ok, a little selfish because, let's face it, it's Robyn. But I do think her motivation was partly sincere.

Ok, only now catching up on the most recent ep, so pardon the late remarks.
First up . . . what the FUCK is up with Kody's hair? I've never seen it so many different kinds of wrong all in the same episode. In that first scene with the presentation it was all stringy and I thought maybe it was wilting in the Nevada heat. But then Robyn walked in wearing a coat so apparently it wasn't hot out.
Also, I now need to see Kody attempt to make his own breakfast.
Kody running for office? HAHAHAHAHA! I want to see that so bad. Also, the show continues just straight up cribbing from the plots on Big Love.

Becky's self-admitted boozer trailer trash tramp character is really the only reason I'm still watching. Her lines are the only thing that make me laugh.
Also what deal did she make with the devil to be 42 years old and still look no more than 27?

S24.E03: Week 3
in The Bachelor
· Edited by Rhondinella
I swear half of these girls look like completely different people with makeup and without. Alayah especially looks like two different people to me. I don't remember it being this bad in previous seasons. I guess it's the result of YouTube makeup tutorials and Instaface. But it's annoying. It's hard enough to learn who they all are when they only have one look.
