My issue with the Kody adult/not adult situation is that he wants the adult kids to not live at home with their mothers anymore or rely on him in any way for support but also still follow all of his rules and consider him their leader. If your son is an adult like you claim you want him to be then he gets to lead himself, Kody. 

and he doesn't apply the 18 and out rule across the board since Robyn's precious and apparently stunted children don't have to leave the nest. Heck Day-un just turned 22! 22 is WAY into adulthood.

[S03.E10: Moving On Up And Partying On Down]

I've been thinking on the Tammy issue (and continue to find it sad that the siblings have to sit around and say "what are we going to do about Tammy" because they know TamTam won't do jack crap for herself). I don't think any of them are legally obligated to do anything for her. Morally is a different story but she's not considered incompetent so when she returns home, Ms. I Can Take Care Of Myself should do just that. Stop answering her calls, don't bring her food, let her 'take care of herself.' I don't know what the other options really are at this point. She's abusive to everyone she isnt' paying to hang out with her. It's not fair for the siblings to continue to be abused by someone who won't help themself. 

I know Amy isn't perfect by a long shot but she deserves to live a life of her own without a 640 pound (I suspect more like 700 now) weight around her neck. Gage deserves more. Misty, Chris and Amanda deserve more. 

It seems clear from the last 2 episodes that Chris and Amanda particularly are done, 100%. Misty is very very very close to done and Amy has major guilt but is moving toward done. Momma Slaton sure aint' gonna help. If TamTam wants to live her life on her own maybe it's time to let her and her TikTok figure it out.

I'm still hung up on the fact that it seemed like Tammy thought she had at least a modicum of success because she didn't *gain weight. 

Agree. My Google medical degree tells me it takes 7000 calories per day to maintain a 600 pound weight. My god if she just cut to double the daily recommendation (4000ish) she'd lose weight quickly and that's still like 4 McDonalds value meals.

So she could push her on the SIDEWALK, but not on the BLACKTOP?  That made no sense.  It's enough that Tammy was willing to go to and get into the pool for now; forcing her to walk beyond her capacity, IMHO, is simply going to discourage her from doing any activity or even leaving the house.

Not a fan of Tissa's OR Amy's (I realize these are unpopular opinions).

Have you ever pushed a wheelchair? I have a relative who is 113 pounds who was wheelchair bound briefly and it is really really hard. Tisa mentioned that the blacktop was bumpy and not smooth. And it's just simply not enough that  tammy went and floated in a pool for a while. She's darn near bed bound. Allowing her to just stop walking totally will literally be a death sentence

Why does Tammy’s family do/say what they do? If she told me she wanted to go to Vegas I would have just said “have fun”, knowing 1,000% there was no way in hell Tammy was gonna book a plane ticket, get herself to the airport, maneuver the airport or plane flight, get to the hotel etc etc. When she asked for me to help I’d say, gee Tammy you keep saying you do take care of yourself so take care of it. It’s NEVER gonna happen, why do they argue and fight with her about things she won’t ever do. If I hear one more time the new dude will dump her if she gets below 300 lbs I’m gonna break my tv. Ain’t. Never. Gonna. Happen. What an infuriating bunch of people, all of them.

Agree. She wants to act like a child, treat her like one. When she has a temper tantrum, just get up and leave. She has to get over it because she needs them or she'd have to start managing for herself. Don't bother battling it out. She can say in talking heads all day how she wants to live her life but the truth is she can't manage on her own for anything.

 

[S04.E02: Great Expectations]

Darcy was always a mess with the awful surgeries, fillers, and extensions, but she looks shockingly unhealthy to me right now. Mentally and physically. She just needs to go.

[S11.E09: This Land is Your Land...or Hers?]

I haven't watched in years but watched last night... and nothing has changed. Meri: I want my house in the trees. But I don't like trees now since I have the  MOST GIGANTIC HOUSE IN FLAGSTAFF FOR JUST ME. But I didn't SAY I don't want to live in the trees. She killed me in the "meeting" saying how she didn't say x or y, but at no time did she ever say where she NOW wants to be. Keep em hanging on Meri. It's so obvious Kodi is just done with her.

I'd like to know Sobbin's end game. I guess pretending to kowtow to Meri's whims lets her be the martyr?

It's nice to see Christine and Janelle get out and walk. I'd have to get away from the sh*t show on the regular.

The only interesting thing for me, not having watched in a hot minute, is how Kody seems much less enamored by Robin. He really seems to dislike both her and Meri, and has nothing more than a friendship with Christine and Janelle. This is gross but wonder if he even sleeps with any of them anymore? Maybe Robin...

I get she wants to be loved, however I was trying to think of the sheer logistics of even completing the act.  She seemed pretty happy though there was no info if Jerry was going to be a fixture in her life. I guess I could always check her SM to see.

The logistics have me hung up too. I want to know but then again I really, really, really, really don't.

On the other hand, poor Michael if he has to care for Amy post-surgery (not that big a deal, spouses do that) AND her troll sister.

So...season 7...

Best looking guy?

Best looking chic?

Couple with the best chance?

Most outrageous moment?

Funniest scene?

1. uhhhh… none but I guess if I had to choose Nigerian Mike or Syngin

2. Bunny boiler is beautiful and also bat poo crazy

3. man has my answer to this changed drastically as time has gone on... I think none of them will make it long term but Julianna and Michael probably have the best chance.

4. No giant "whoa" but probably Mother in Law Robert and her "I'm a porn star" followed by Anny's revulsion... then like 2 episodes later a stripper is grinding on her, she's asking for threesomes and talking on camera about a woman giving her oral sex.

5. Sister Robert and her "do you not know he's like... poor?"

-honorable mentions: Juliana on her bike in a skirt going to have coffee with her fiancé's ex wife; Tania every time she talks about all her goals like she's achieved ANYTHING in her life; Tania's sister calling her out early on about what a bitch she is; Mursel's hatred of all things American; and, every fashion choice ever made by Big Ang.

I hope they get individual long term therapy.  They really need it, and Amy seems receptive to it.  Having Tammy move out would be a great first boundary to set.  

Yes to all of this. You can see when Amy is away from Tammy (like at dinner with her husband) she doesn't act a fool. She also seems to be trying- adding different exercise, trying to improve her food choices, etc.

 

I think it's completely and totally selfish for Tammy to want Amy to wait on weight loss surgery. Also, if Tammy had 3 braincells to think this out, who does she think is going to take care of BOTH of them if they have it at the same time?

The jealousy of Tammy is going to tear them apart if Amy doesn't break free.

[S07.E11: Blindsided]

Ironic that the Trump supporters BIg Ang and Mikul are being kept apart... by Trump's own policies.

Sometimes Karma is quick.

[S01.E04: A House Divided]

Tami becomes less likeable with every passing moment and although I hated them both at first, Amy is actually becoming MORE likeable. Particularly when she's not with Tami.

 

I did appreciate Dr. P basically saying "yeah if you want a drink go get it yourself." I mean that's pretty basic. and Tami wants to be "in on" the discussions re: her moving out? Well sweet cheeks, it's not your house and you're pretty much a terrible person making them miserable. They can, in fact, make a unilateral decision to bounce you out on your ample behind.

 

Both would benefit from actual nutritional education. WHile Shrimp Creole was very likely a much better choice than she would have made (and delicious) does Dr. Procter not try to put them on high protein diets? Shrimp Creole is really carby. (disclaimer: I haven't watched anything with Dr. P before, just Our Reverend Saint Dr. Now, and I missed part of the episode with the original consultation).

[S12.E10: Living on the Edge]

Was anyone else surprised at how good most of them looked in the Carnival costumes? Those were really beautiful. I always thought Marlo was kinda bigger but she looked tiny this episode.

 

Why is Nene still here? I mean really. She gets along with NO ONE. She's had beef (most of it stupid) with every one of them, it's just who has she sort of apologized to most recently.

 

And I'm with everyone asking why Yovanna is even there.

 

Lastly, I no longer care who recorded Cynthia. Why does it even matter, I mean I actually like Kandi for the most part but her entire functionality on the show is as a parrot- someone tells her something and she runs to the next person to repeat it. At least she can live well without this show, unlike most of the others but what she does (and Sheree was the same) is no different than recording someone and playing it back. Cynthia cares less who recorded her than anyone else. But hey I guess Nene needs a storyline and this is it.

Having said that, at this point, the slayton sisters could probably drop a hundo easy if they just limited bacon intake or went down to TWO pies at dinner.  Or just half a case of sodee.  Or perhaps not making so much dessert that you can have a leftover pie for breakfast and making another one for dinner. 

Yes I think this is a better point than what I was saying above. Dr. Now sometimes quotes exactly how many calories one must be eating per day to maintain certain weight levels. If Amy or Tami gave up just a little of what they'd eat the weight would fall off quickly, at least the first 100-200 (maybe even 300 for Tami). I'm not a scientist but to main 600 pounds I'd think she's eating at least 4000 calories per day if not more. I did an online calculator which only went up to 500 pounds and it said 3600 per day to maintain 500, so I'm estimating.

I really want someone out there to actually TRY to lose weight prior to resorting to surgery. Surgery should be a tool, not the entire toolbox, or it will never work.

[S01.E01: Meet the Slaton Sisters]

Just cannot root for these two. They are pretty terrible and I don’t see them even attempting to change. Why should they really? They've monetized being fat. Tami will die in the next 5 years. Amy will follow soon thereafter. I want to be sad for them but they are just not likeable people. And they're pretty mean to each other but then again, their fat mom is horrible too.

 

And I really, really, really hate hearing any of the super morbidly obese people claiming they’ve “tried every diet” while eating bacon infused lasagna. I know it’s easier said than done (I’m currently on a journey to lose 60 pounds, 57 to go ugh) but calories in calories out. Just be honest and say yeah I like to eat and I eat and drink terrible things and don’t exercise. And while I'm complaining, Tami did another of my super obese pet peeves- oh I can't walk because of my knees popping out of place. First, that's very likely NOT happening. Second, your knees probably do hurt because you're so overweight and you don't use your muscles at all. Push yourself just a TAD and you'll start to see results. Sorry this just super frustrates me as the parent of a 113 pound child facing a major orthopedic surgery next month who continuously pushes herself to her limits even in severe pain. Yet we regularly see people who don't want to walk 30 feet.

[S07.E13: Exodus]

One more thought:

From what I’ve always understood, EACH guest does a pref sheet, right? I remember distinctly past guests saying “who put X on their preference sheet?” when something was served they didn’t like. So why are we acting like the posted sheet in this forum is the only one? I thought I heard the 2 specific guests both say they had said NO cheese.

[S07.E13: Exodus]

I’m so disappointed in who Ashton really is. I loved him last season but he’s horrible this season. As is Tanner, and even Brian for his support of his idiot Brus.

 

For an entire crew who hates Kate so much, there are an awful lot of people trying to shove their tongues down her throat. All the Kate haters, even you have to admit it’s horrible that she has been continuously harassed by these guys and physically assaulted multiple times now. I don’t care if you think she’s a “bitch” or snarky or whatever, NO ONE “asks” for this kind of treatment. She’s clearly a victim of harassment by at least 2 crew members, with no one doing anything about it to defend her.

 

Also, neither Courtney nor Simone have a tenth of what it takes to do what Kate does. Simone is deluded. Kudos on the math degree, you’re terrible at being a stew though. I have 3 degrees, that surely wouldn’t make me a good auto mechanic.

Perhaps in a real world scenario where she would have actual say in who to hire but when your dealing with one stew who can’t iron and another stew who can’t pour a beer, talk to the guests, or open a bottle of wine there is only so much she can do over six weeks.

Though in this case it appeared they were trained enough to do the tasks that needed to be done in her absence even if they bitched about it.

Exactly! And it seems both lied about their prior experience, or at least Simone did. How was she ever a stew yet can't open a bottle of wine?

[S12.E8 Head Over Hills]

Best days of Kenya's life: Winning Miss USA then WAYYY below that getting married... and where does Brooklyn figure in? Wow, priorities.... the more I see the more I think this isn't a character, this is who Kenya is. What evidence do we have to dispute that? She has no relationships that haven't failed in any part of her life.

Kandi is so pretty with short hair, many women can't work that but she looks so good with it. And Marlo is looking pretty (except that monstrosity titty sling dress she wore to Cynthia's party).

 

 

[S07.E07: The Truth Shall Set You Free]

2 things I forgot-

I'm so sad that Natalie is insane. I liked that couple even if I disagree with her pushing for a baby but wow, last night her crazy came flowing out. I don't agree with his alien worship but there's no signs at all that he hid the fact he doesn't believe in God. If that was such a fundamental difference for her she should have called it off long ago. And now she wants to blame a language barrier? um what? Now I do believe he should learn to speak her language too, but we've seen no evidence she can't understand him.

Also, people keep saying for the prenup to be official/upheld, both need their own attorney. Not true. I'm an attorney. Is it a good idea? Yes. Is it necessary? nope. It just has to be fair basically. In this case I can't help but think she's doing a DAMN good job of setting him up to say "but I didn't understand, look at this footage" even though I think she's lying. In this case particularly, I'd spend a couple grand to get her an independent attorney to look over the final prenup, although it is not a requirement in any way in general. (I've seen this statement here and on other sites)

[S07.E07: The Truth Shall Set You Free]

I don't know what to believe on the prenush situation, but I did find it interesting that Juliana CLAIMS not to have any money but also wouldn't disclose how much she was making as a model when the mediator asked. The more I see the more I think she's VERY manipulative... anytime she doesn't get what she wants or a conversation she doesn't like starts, she dissolves into "but I don't understand" or "Oh I'm so stupid, I'm dumb, I'm a loser, I'm so sorry." We already saw it with the discussion regarding the car, and it got him to immediately drop the conversation. I'm not saying that he should cut her out, and I'm not sure he intends to, but he's NOT wrong to protect his assets and particularly the assets that should rightfully go to his amazing kids. I have no proof of course but I fully believe she knew what a prenup was and thought she had wowed him into not having one. From what I've read prenups are actually pretty common in Brazil.

Robert and Anny get more ridiculous by the day. A golddigger who can't dig any gold from her loser man and a dude looking for a nanny and sex slave but this one talks back.

Angela- still gross. Wonder how big that house is? Do they all live there? (her mom, Skyla, all 6 grandkids??) Poor Michael. What a mess.

Anna is an idiot. Sasha is an ass. Emily is less naïve than I first believed because she already knows ole boy is looking around for #4.

WHAT do they feed Dah-veed? that kid is HUGE.

[S12.E06: Where There’s a Wig, There’s a Way]

Kenya and Nene are making me like Marlo this season and that is unacceptable.

Man the jealousy of Tanya is palpable. To me, she represents actual money. She doesn’t have to discuss it or show it off 24/7 and she has a class that most of these women (NENE) lack. Plus, honestly she’s just fun.

Cynthia acting like the ish Kenya did was ok, wow. I mean the friend contract and her being a lapdog for Nene were one thing but this is beyond.

And Nene, my how the mighty have fallen. You can tell she’s now out of favor with the powers that be, since her “good edit” is gone. BLOOP.

This is totally a UO but I'm putting it out there.

Though I do believe Kenya wanted a baby, I really got the sense that she a) wants a baby as an extension of herself. b) wants a baby to say to everybody else, and the audience, "See, I HAVE A BABY." (which is what she actually said on the show, like, look what I have folks!) and c) as a fashion accessory.  I wonder what will happen when Brooklyn starts to grow up, starts becoming her own person, starts telling her mother "NO."  

On the other hand, I sensed Porsha's sadness.  I think after her first marriage and divorce, she really did want a family just because it was what she wanted.   I had doubts because the pregnancy happened when she and Dennis were in the early stages of their relationship.  

All of this! I suspect we will hear about 100 times this season "I'm a MO-THER now" from Kenya. anytime someone tries to come back at her, etc. The way she dunked that baby bothered me. It's not that the bubbles will hurt her but it clearly startled Brooklyn, why do that on purpose to a tiny baby? Also, something struck me as odd with the exchange at the party- "where is Brooklyn?" "having her diaper changed" and then a discussion on how Brooklyn has multiple nannies. I don't know... it just seemed like, you can't even change your baby's diaper? (and I'll say, Porsha made it clear she hands over Pilar to her mom on the daily too so no passes from me).

Honestly when they first showed Porsha her sadness kind of took my breath for a  moment. I hadn't followed "the blogs" or anything so I had no idea and my first thought was "oh no does she have PPD?" She's never been my favorite (although I did enjoy her last season a lot) but I do feel for her. I know, she jumped into all of this with a questionable dude but still... it just sucks for her and Pilar, the baby is only 2 months old Porsha is still filled with pregnancy hormones.

Wonder if we will see Riley this season? Now I'm not big on a kid putting her opinion in on grown folks' issues but she wasn't wrong when she said Kandi and Todd didn't need another kid because they didn't take care of Ace (paraphrasing). I can't imagine she's thrilled baby sister is on the way.

No Nene, thank you very much! Cynthia can go hang out with her.

Eva is kinda boring but all that food she ordered made me hungry.

[S07.E01: I Want To Kiss You]

When you think the Americans can’t get dumber… along comes Emily “but I’m different.” No, no you are not. If he cheats with you, he will cheat on you. He’s shown that in spades and he’s only 32. And her stupid American “do you speak English?” crap in Russia really peeves me. 3 years and you can’t order tea? Have several seats.

Tania is… a lot. She’s one of those women who has to tell everyone how “strong” and “fierce” she is 24/7 when really she’s a super insecure, super judgmental, super controlling bish. Her sister read her for filth.

Michael is a sugar daddy and I’m pretty sure he knows it but his ex wife is gonna make sure those adorable kids are ok. Max and Cece for the win for the season… Interesting his sugar baby is having trouble getting to America. Prostitution charges perhaps? A lot about her story doesn't add up. An agency picked her up but then he talks like she's just now trying to get IN to modeling so which is it?

Robert is a wanna be sugar daddy and Anny is a wanna be sugar baby. E’ry body gonna be disappointed there.

Bee lady… she seems normal one minute and super immature the next. The friend with the whole “yeah she’s made a lot of bad decisions…” can we hear more from her please? Her poor sons. She seems pretty unconcerned about bringing in some dude who wants to hide them from his family and who barely speaks English.

I can do without Big Ange. How are those botox fillers gonna help her massive turkey neck?

[S03.E13: Against All Odds/S03.E14: Tell All]

Not gonna lie... I'm kind of disappointed. 3 hours and what did we really learn? No one asked Avery why she didn't bother googling if Omar would ever come or what their specific plans are, like "we're moving to Dubai in May 2020" or anything. Angela was a blonde Godzilla with too many cheeseburgers and Reds and no real info. Darcey was an embarrassment, Jesse was useless but none of that is new. Nothing on when Akinyi is moving to America or when, if ever, the ole bride price will be paid off. No actual updates re: Zied and Rebecca.

Basically this was a clip show with them dressed up a little unless you are the Silva idiots dressed like you're attending the Hooker Awards.

[S03.E13: Against All Odds/S03.E14: Tell All]

3 more hours of this and I am HERE FOR IT.

Tim, please keep your mouth shut about who is weird and who isn’t, but the fact Rebecca got all butt hurt about it was hilarious.

Man Emma is a queen. And 100% right. Total basics about Tom and after 4 years she has NO idea he’s been engaged twice or even his favorite color. Her delusion is ridiculous. She is just ridiculous with her too-high heels and too tight clothing and fake everything. It’s so sad and pathetic. Yep Tom’s a dillweed who just wants TV time but she set herself up to look stupid yet again. They don’t even need Jesse to make her look like a fool. She has that handily wrapped up herself.

I hope at some point someone says to Avery “how did you not bother to do any research prior to getting MARRIED?” I mean, we all know the answer is she’s 19 and impulsive, we’re all idiots at 19, but geez. Omar questioning if he’d stay with her if it “takes years” is all she needed to hear to start doubting… if she’s with him by Easter I’ll be surprised.

Angela is gross, full stop. Michael seems like a fun person though, very calm and pleasant. Run Michael. You can outrun her by going around the block.

Akinyi’s antics at the airport were Oscar worthy. She could NOT care less about him and her disdain is showing more and more. I think ole Ben realizes he’s made a mistake and submissive, thankful little African girl who will be the dutiful wife and stepmother isn’t what he is getting. She’ll never come to America lol.

MARIA IS REAL. And exactly what we all thought she would be if she wasn’t a 50 year old man in an internet café somewhere. Caesar looks as much a fool as Darcy with his ridiculous clothing and actions. If it's all fake it's even worse...

Trashy Rebecca stepping to Queen of Trashy Angela should be epic. Can’t wait til someone refers to Avery as a child, you know that’s coming too. Oh man I can’t wait!!
