Snickerdoodle

Not be ass holes in the first place.

I feel bad for Lydia. Does she ever get to be a kid? She cooks for the family, she takes care of the little kids, follows the ridiculous rules and does what she’s told. Her reward is housework! Then we have Moriah, her older sister who does whatever she wants without consequence. Her reward is no responsibility and a fun trip to San Francisco. Don’t get me wrong, I’m rooting for Moriah to leave “Plathville” behind, but she should share some of the household responsibilities with the older kids that live at home. Kim seems to have given up on Moriah.

What a sorry, sorry show. All the girls have to talk about is when they are due. I watched about 2 minutes and then checked out.

OMG Courtney get your dirty feet off the table!

Rita's originated just outside of Philly. They have sinced franchised and are now all over. https://www.ritasice.com/about-ritas/history/ I'm from Philly and I thought it was cool to see some off the beaten path things - a mural, RIta's, a Septa bus! It was nice to see more than the Art Museum and the Rocky statue.

Yeah, not too bright, that one. I also gave a side eye to Kris' mom when she said IT people collect stuff and Kris didn't know the child porn was on the hard drive. Yes, she may have believed what her child, told her, but I hope when she heard it played back she realized how ridiculous it sounded. I work in IT...anything I collect at work stays at work.

For real. I was thinking we had another Judy Winslow scenario on our hands!

I'm also from Philly and have definitely had ice cream in a box. This is back when you got an actual half gallon of ice cream. I haven't seen it sold like that in maybe 20 years I wonder where Uncle Nicky found that brick of ice cream.

Depends on the state, really, but grade level is not solely determined by age. For example, my brother skipped kindergarten and started first grade when he was 5. He is also a June birthday so he had recently turned 5 by the time he started first grade. He, like Riley, tested well. The fact that he was reading books in PreK was a big factor for my mom to send him from PreK to first grade. We've been told Riley is academically ready. Danielle and Adam will have to decide if Riley can handle the social aspect of being younger than her classmates if they send her ahead. Anything could happen, really, but it's not just based on age.

At first I thought it was a young sister on the phone. Then he was talking about being the youngest! That's when I realized it was his mom. Oh my. Overall, this episode was kind of boring. I'm looking forward to next week when it looks like there will be guest drama! Interior drama! And Abbi's hair drama!

Jack is so lazy he has someone else break up for him!

I DVRed the show and honestly I fast forwarded through most of it. I really came to see the characters I was familiar with, not random people. It kind of reminded me of when Nikki and Paolo were introduced on Lost. It was made to seem we were supposed to care about those 2 characters, and they didn't seem to have ties to anyone else on the show. Turned out fans hated them so they killed them off the show. That's how I felt being introduced to these new characters without knowing their Pearson connections.

Maybe Randall will send the girls to a private school in Philly like Penn Charter (aka William Penn Academy from The Goldbergs.)

That really drives me crazy. Tables are for glasses not for asses.

One thing that bugs me about how they decorate the tables is that sometimes they sit on the table and sometimes their feet (and shoes) are on the table, too.

Jack had some great lines tonight. I really like his new title, "Chief Peppercorn Separator." He's turned over a new leaf for me. I, too, thought his proposal? (if you want to call it that) was kind of cute. Sandy was really micromanaging with the waverunner. Jeez, let the crew try to fix it. That's what you hired them for. All of a sudden Joao has fallen out of favor with her and Travis is her new favorite.

😂

My take on Courtney is that she loves Pinterest. Her house just looks like something you would see on a Pinterest. The babies’ birthday cakes screamed Pinterest to me. Plus she LOVES to take pictures of everything and I could see her posting them on Pinterest. Long and the short of it is she’s more about how things look rather than their function or practicality. With maybe one baby you could get away with that. But not 6 babies.

While I was watching I was actually thinking about Our Chalet. I haven’t been yet but I’ve seen pictures and what I saw on the race reminded me of the pictures I’d seen. I was kind of expecting some random Scouts/Guides to pop up in the background.That said, next year I’m chaperoning a Girl Scout trip and we’re going to visit two of the World Centers - Pax Lodge and Our Chalet. We’re not staying at the Chalet which is kind of a bummer because some of the things on the race seemed like things you might do at the Chalet.

And also a cake for each baby, and that beautiful cake for the guests. That’s not cheap. Despite that, I do like this family. I love how the older brothers dote on the babies. It’s sweet and refreshing.

The cat thing cracked me up, too. And then when he was climbing "Mt. Fuji" the other guy yelled at him, "Do it for [cat's name]!"

Season 5 was the first season I really watched, so I have a soft spot for Colin and Christie. I hated them on their season and I was glad they lost. I thought Colin was just mean and angry and Christie could do better. I'm looking forward to Zen Colin and more replays of "MY OX IS BROKEN!" Rupert and Laura. My goodness, did they even try? "Where should we go?" "I don't know." Why didn't they try to find someone that spoke English. And at the beginning Rupert was all, there's nothing more difficult than being on Survivor and toward the end he was like, TAR is HARD. I hope that Team Fun will do well. I laughed when Phil asked Floyd if he drank enough...water. That was a sucky way for them to go out last time. Glad the race is back!

Josiah: I hate singing. Lauren: my husband loves to sing with me!

Plus she's no longer the legal wife. She really has no reason to stay.

Free Meri!
