Grifter Lives

He even told her to her face - at least indirectly - during game night at the local bar, when he asked her to give him time to sort it all out with Varya (as his guest for 2 weeks). Then, the more obvious redneck friend explained in his talking head how Mary will always be Geoffrey's Plan B. The other friends suck, too. Not one of them comforted Mary or defended her to Varya.

"Throughout the season, he has received a ton of backlash from fans for his misreported past. So, Geoffrey supposedly believes that viewers are the reason why the network kept him off the Tell-All." Great investigative journalism: Poor Geoffrey's past is misreported . . . in all the court and criminal records widely available online. That must be the only reason why he's faced a ton of backlash from the fans. TLC must have mocked up a mugshot and encourage him to rant each week, "I've changed since prison," for a storyline and to add depth to Mary's desperation. Meanwhile, Yolanda and Tom are nobody's favorites, and both are guaranteed ratings losers. But, even they managed to be included and get paid that extra $2K.

She's gone full-on Flashdance.

I think he used a Groupon.

I'm sure Mary will love hearing this confession. Geoffrey is real BFF and boyfriend material.

Did the sons jump overboard?

Lana's new phone goes straight to voicemail. There goes David's Batline strategy.

PI Sergei was still working, even after David fired him.

I can't unsee. They're now more distracting than Varya's wonky eye!

The daughter is the most important person in his life. She's "the love of [his] life." So, now, after failing with Rose, he'll work on their relationship. He wants love. He's so disgusting that I need to shower just from hearing all that.

This is the Big Ed Victim Tour. First, his mother; now his daughter. If he tells his version of his story enough, he'll start to believe it.

Local. In Nigeria. Per BGL.

"I would not put up with that." Meanwhile, Varya raises her voice and was totally offensive when she arrived at Geoffrey's house. (I'm not Team Varya or Team Mary or Team Geoffrey. They all suck.) It would have been more intersting to hear Geoffrey tell his & Mary's friends that he chose Varya over her.

Mary hasn't changed her clothes since Geoffrey's.

That Mariah even has a radical silo proves how impotent and exclusionary she is. It also reinforces our theory that she only allows her sycophants to surround her.

a la Dr. Phil: "How did rioting work out for Joseph Smith?"

I guess big, bad Emma has to step in now, since Darcy hurt her little brother.

Hunter and Mariah have the same face. I never noticed a strong resemblance before. And, in another comparison: In one of the first episodes, Mariah claimed that she wanted to go to the Naval Academy and med school. Koty shot her down, claiming that a military academy would never allow a polygamist to join (intense persecution). Congratulations, Hunter!

I'm not going to watch the video, but the combination of baking soda & vinegar is a common cleaning solution. Why don't they try that sometime?

Sometimes, I think that the producers purposely expose the Browns' dysfunction, hypocrisy and lies, because they dislike the cast as much as the audience does. The Browns really don't offer anything else. Also, they'd have no drama otherwise - we already knew the outcomes of every plotline this season, since they happened a year ago - and there is absolutely nothing special or interesting about any of them.

Janelle asks Christine if monogamy works by spouses' checking in with each other, as if she had never been in a monogamous marriage to Meri's brother. Then, to contradict that dumb exchange, the next segment includes Gabe's asking Kody how Maddie was. Kody replied, "Good. I talked to Mom today," and continues about how he's already packed. (Nevermind about Maddie.) I guess Janelle checked in for once.

I didn't notice Christine's daughter in any of the scenes in North Carolina. Was she there?

LibertarianSlut - I can't praise or like your post enough!

I was too optimistic. Kody just highlighted next season: Robyn's got to move into her house. They've got to work on their relationships. They've to work on Coyote Pass (sidenote from Janelle). And, Kody used the past tense when he spoke of liking polygamy. That's the cliffhanger.

Could this be the series finale? Robyn & Christine bought houses, so the plots about moving should only be about visiting the U-Hauls on Prairie Dog Plague Pass. Maddie hasn't been pregnant again. Mariah's hasn't married. TLC hasn't paid for any vacations. Without moves, births, weddings, or vacations, the Browns have nothing. Kody may have to get a job.
