Agreed. I'm happy Christine got the things she missed out on marrying Kody, but I don't need to watch them schmoop at each other all the time. Time to go live their lives off of TV.

I understand that. I'm glad that Truely isn't pushed in front of a camera to giver her thoughts on David. It just would have been nice for Christine to recognize that moving so fast might be difficult for her. Aspyn seemed to at least understand that Truely existed. BTW, I loved the scene of Mitch trying to help Truely learn to ride a bike. He was quiet and reassuring to her and tried to adjust the bike so that she would feel comfortable. Christine and Aspyn were yapping incessantly and he told them very politely to be quiet to make things calmer for Truely. It seems Aspyn got a good guy there.

Late to the party on this, but I was looking at that screenshot from the video of Evan and his flat top grill. That thing is filthy. I guess Zach hasn't been by lately to clean it because Evan certainly isn't going to. I can't imagine living like these two do. What kind of future will Layla and Zade have with very little education and being so far behind developmentally? It's just so sad to see.

I really don't understand the Christine's whole insistence that they aren't engaged. I guess until David does some showy proposal none of it counts or something. Makes no sense to me since she has said she is going to marry him, he just hasn't proposed yet. Gives me a headache.

There wasn't much there there this week. The house hunters bit was not great. They missed the whole point of House Hunters which is looking at the houses, not at two people playing tonsil hockey in front of their realtor. Any one of those houses are nicer than mine and I think mine is pretty awesome. There was nothing wrong with any of them. Though I do understand the need for double ovens if you are going to do a lot of cooking. Just having one when trying to prepare a big meal for a lot of people can be challenging. Poor Gwen. I am sure she didn't realize the producers were going to do her dirty like that. She was barely shown while we had to stare at Kody and Robyn being their usual selves for far too long. It really made me mad when Christine said that Gwen put on a brave face for the party. She shouldn't have had to do that. Her parents both need to grow up. Divorced couples come to family events all the time that involve the kids and can manage to be civil to each other. I thought that poor baby was going to get whiplash the way Kody was gyrating around. I refuse to call that rocking because he was moving so aggressively. I am assuming he was wanting to throw an epic tantrum about the fact that David had babysat his grandchildren. Interesting that he didn't seem bothered that David was being regularly brought around Truely and spending the night at Christine's house. Let's not even get into his one pretty wife comments. What a tool. Speaking of Truely, did anyone else notice that neither of her PARENTS mentioned her at all in all their convos about David. The only one who did was Aspyn and she just talked about how David was going to be raising her so he and Kody should at least meet each other. Honestly, my heart breaks for Truely because Christine doesn't even seem to remember she exists as she rushes to move them in with David. I have a personal bias about this which I won't get into here, but I do hope David is really a decent guy. The fact that his kids get along with him is a point in his favor. Not sure what to make of the Meri and Janelle part. I think there has just been so much that has gone on between them that they can't trust each other. I don't think Janelle would intentionally cheat Meri, but I do think she approached her there because she needs an ally. If she didn't, she would have never talked to Meri. I hope Meri isn't as naive as she came across in real life. Janelle is right that Kody will cheat them if he can. I hope they at least got something out of all this mess. I loved the hug between Meri and Christine. I think that was a genuine moment. Meri was clearly trying to put on a brave face, but was still grieving the loss of her marriage. Yes, I know it was really over years ago, but Meri was raised to believe that it was for eternity no matter what. Getting the release finally brought it home to her and she was still doing a lot of processing at that time. Christine was uncharacteristically sensitive to her in that moment. I hope Meri does find the place where it gets better. She doesn't deserve to be trailing after Kody and Robyn forever. I would love to know the real story of Kody and Robyn playing will they or won't they come to the party. I do believe they pull that stuff for attention and to get people to beg them to come to events. Then they show up last and late so that everyone will be focused on them. There was a real edge when Kody said the bit about how God told hm to love and God would do the judging. That came across as he doesn't approve of Gwen or Leon. I never believed that he and Robyn were supportive of Leon once the cameras were off and the fact that they haven't seen each other in years bears that out. I do wonder if the producers made Kody and Robyn come to the party because they wanted that awkward scene of him meeting David. I can see what Gwen didn't want her wedding filmed. I hate that the party was messed up, but if the producers really want to make Kody and Robyn do something, make them answer tough questions and not refuse to watch scenes. That's what I want to see.

Well, Derick, if the shoe fits...

I know some years ago when I had a particularly bad time at work I took it out on my hair, so this could be. I think highlights or lowlights on her original color would have looked good. The box color was awful, but the salon color is also too dark. I do like the style, though because her hair needed a trim and conditioning.

Someone paid 1.7 million for that ugly falling down house? There really is one born every minute. Even with this, I still don't know how they are going to maintain the new place long term without being able to pick the OG wives pockets. I have wondered if this was part of the break with Mykelti. On the show when Kody met her twins he was talking about Mykelti and Tony moving in with him and Robyn in a larger place. He said they had looked at someplace they were interested in. I wonder if he thought he could get a lot of the financing from Tony and Mykelti and they shut him down. Even at the time that was filmed, Mykelti looked less than enthusiastic about living with him and Robyn.

I agree with this especially for Meri. She was 19 when she married Kody and went along with polygamy because it was how she was raised and because it was what he wanted. She was understandably insecure and unfortunately made some awful choices with the other wives. I also don't think she was cut out to have a bunch of feral kids running around. Meri likes things just so and that's not going to happen with a huge number of kids. I think if she had been allowed to grow into herself before marrying she would have made very different choices. He was making fun of his grandfather around giving Christine his blessing to marry David. He mocked him for taking a long time to rise from a chair. It was tacky. He also said that David was old which is ridiculous because David was in his late 50s when this was filmed. Of course to people in the 20s, that is probably one foot in the grave.

All I can say is I hope Tony and Mykelti aren't renting if they are going to let their kids color on the walls. Say goodbye to your cleaning deposit.

Sometimes even if it did happen on camera he will say it didn't. Like the conversation with Gabe that we saw that he claimed never happened. I don't believe for a minute Christine and David waited until marriage to get to it. They were both horny as could be and poor Truely was so uncomfortable. Particularly when Tony had to bring up sex. Tony is such a clod. I also could have done without Paedon mocking his grandfather's age related disability. Dude, you might be there where it takes you 10 minutes to get out of a chair someday. I agree with what has been said about the Kody and Janelle discussion. I loved that she just laid it on the line while he is blathering in the talking heads about how they keep talking about reconciling. He looked so delusional there. I was very concerned at the level of rage he seems to have toward Maddie. Where is that coming from? The lunch was several months after Logan's wedding where he found out she was pregnant and hadn't told him. I liked that Janelle told him to go work it out himself that she wasn't going to get in the middle of it. Dude, she isn't Robyn. She isn't going to force her kids to love you when you have acted like this. Because I'm nosy, I do wonder what went on between Maddie and Kody that caused her to go no contact. Finally, I liked how Meri reacted to the renovation of the carriage house. Kody has always tried to portray her as mean and ungrateful, and she wasn't that way at all. I liked what she said about making her own table rather than chasing after people who don't want her. Good for her.

I've seen a few pictures of the interior of the new even larger barn than the one they already had and I am not impressed. The fixtures look like off the shelf stuff from Lowe's especially in the "gourmet" kitchen. But what really gets me is the flooring. The floors go in all different directions including diamond layouts in some rooms. I briefly considered a diamond layout when I had my bathroom redone, but I came to my senses. It would looks so dated and just odd. Their house doesn't even have their huge amount of junk in it yet and it already looks cluttered. My biggest question is how do they expect to heat and cool this place? They aren't going to have a family account to raid anymore because all three of the OG wives have finally disentangled their finances from him and Robyn. And even with all the money they stole from the OG3 they seemed unable to do even basic maintenance on the Precious Moments emporium. How will they manage this place when things start breaking down due to normal wear and tear?

Truely's reaction to the IMO overt PDA, was pretty normal. At 12 most of us would have been really embarrassed if our parent acted that way. It went beyond holding hands and a few pecks to constant smacking noises and tonsil hockey. I'm not 12 and I was getting grossed out. Now, that being said, they were still better than JB Duggar who dry humped his wife on a public minigolf course in front of their daughter and her boyfriend. Still need brain bleach for that one. One thing also to remember about all the OG13 is that they were pretty physical with each other. There was always a lot of roughhousing and pushing and shoving going on, so Truely is going to pick up on that and do it when she wants to express anything. Add to that that she must have a lot of complex feelings going on inside her that she isn't yet equipped to process, and you have the wandering around and moving between Christine and David we saw. Honestly she has no good space to work out her feelings because neither of her parents can pull their heads out of their butts long enough to notice anything is wrong.

I see your point, but take into account that she was tied to Kody for so many years. When I heard she had gotten involved with David, my first thought was that he wouldn't have to be that magnificent in the bedroom to turn her head. Just someone who is loving and actually kisses her and wants to be with her would be a revelation to her. Also, Christine's energy level is going to change as well . Take it from someone on the other end of the 50s they might even out together. I wish them the best. That said, I wish she had slowed down at least for Truely's sake. Anyone can be on their best behavior for a few months, so I would want to see the guy for a while before I brought him around my hypothetical kid. Part of getting to know someone is seeing if they are patient enough to move at a slower pace. If David was rushing things as well, I would be very suspicious.

Ok, I love Meri for turning that ugly necklace into a dog collar. She is way more subtle at the zingers that Christine with the constant nacho eating. I'm also glad she and Zona have each other.
