"I love sunsets. Did you know they happen every day?"

I didn't hear this, but I'm guessing it was Nick the professional brainiac.

[Auntie Anxiety]

I hate Steve. Fucking narcissist.

No, it was Arielle who said the first part. I added the second part, I felt it was in keeping with the rest of the conversation. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Poor Steve. He’s such a victim.

[Pepper Mostly]

Steve is acting like a fifteen year old. And he's seriously flummoxed by his daughter's reaction? Guess no one has ever challenged anything he's ever said. 

Just now, Auntie Anxiety said:

Poor Steve. He’s such a victim.

He and Garrick could have a support group. Weepy, self pitying creeps anonymous.

[Maybeitsme]

Steve is definitely not going to let his lifestyle go no matter what his daughter or Brenda has to say

I don't feel bad for Brenda at all

[Auntie Anxiety]

Brenda, you don’t matter. Jayden believes that you broke up her family. That’s why she hates you.

[Pepper Mostly]

Brenda's going to do whatever it takes to hold on to her well off husband. She's not going back to a one bedroom walkup on the poor side of town.

Brenda, you don’t matter. Jayden believes that you broke up her family. That’s why she hates you.

And all her life Jayden has listened to her father tell her she's stupid and wrong to feel the way she feels. I hope she makes a break for it. That family is toxic. 

[candall]

One of my kids is transgender.  Is that something that's problematic to you at all?  Because TLC will pay us each an extra $500 per episode if you can manufacture an epic meltdown.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Did Insipidian ask Caleb for fashion tips? That shirt! Yikes.

[Adeejay]

I am not the least bit surprised that Lea told Dannielle and Garrick to take a hike.  Something about their connection didn't seem authentic. Garrick didn't seem the least bit interested in her.  I can't help but wonder why Roberta still hasn't picked up her visa.  Something tells me she is no longer in the picture.   

[Pepper Mostly]

This is so very, painfully awkward. "Lets kiss, so we don't have to talk, because talking is hard for me".

[Auntie Anxiety]

Arielle wants to be independent. Yeah, that’s gonna change.

[Pepper Mostly]

Sidian is getting ready to let Arielle know that he does not plan to work and that she'd better be ready to work two jobs to support his lotus eating. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Insipidian teaches a master class in outsourcing child care so he doesn’t have to do it.

[waterytart]

Just me, or is this the grossest season by far?

[candall]

I have a "mild to moderate" case of face blindness, but I think they're rotating in about six different Arielles.  She looks different from one shot to the next!

(I don't really think they're switching Arielles.)

I need another hour of this train wreck. Thanks for amusing me tonight. Have a great week, folks. Be strong, stay safe and live your best life.

[Pepper Mostly]

Well peeps, we made it through. Thanks for sitting up with me and supporting my trash TV habit. 

I have to take a shower now and attempt to wash off the grossness. Shudder. 

Good night all! Have a wonderful week! Counting down to Love After Lockup!

Ive missed the show but it was obvious that Roberta wanted to be wife 1 and slowly push Dani out of the picture. His relationship with Lea made her realize that she is easily disposable …hence the dragging of feet. She isn’t as important as she believed herself to be and that makes me lol.

Eh, given the gossip item I read, if they’ve hired actresses, Lea certainly was one.

Hola peeps! I'm wicked sleepy but I am here and ready to snark! It is a testament to my love for you all that I am enduring the last few minutes of 90 Day Diaries and those shrieking howler monkeys Molly and Cynthia as I wait for the games to begin. 

I gotta say, I actually enjoy Molly and Cynthia.  I also think that moniker fits them perfectly.

He’s still a little flummoxed though, that they always occur outside the same window. You know, the one next to his thinking chair.  Maybe one of his wimmin will give him “Science for First Graders” for Christmas.  That should keep him transfixed until next summer!

Garrick is the living embodiment of the word "doofus".

I only caught about 10 minutes last night.  You have piqued my curiosity as to what that’s all about.  I’ll be in-the-know shortly.

Insipidian’s hair is so distracting.

If he wants a cool fade haircut he should go to a professional that actually knows how to do it. But we all know Insipidian is not cool. But...he's tall!

Garricks Danielle is cray. I can't get over how much she physically changed since Bert. Low cut shirts and dresses, titties always on display, dyed her hair blond, added extensions, lost weight so she's no longer the "big" one. She feels intense competition with Bert. Also, Bert has all her paperwork approved, everything is ready to go and she's telling them she will go pick everything up in two weeks.! Bish has no intention of ever coming to the US. Has she been studying English at all? Yeah, no. 

Could Steve's wife (sorry, don't know her name yet) be any more miserable? That sad sack crying face is too much. Just leave, already. 

[Pepper Mostly]

She'll never leave. She's snagged a man who appears to have money and a comfortable lifestyle. She'll do whatever it takes to keep it.

I really like Jayden She just tells it like it is. Someday she'll write a book. "Polygamy and my f***ed up childhood and how I survived!"

Dr. Phil can have her on his show to promote the book.

I'd buy the book.  Boat Boy thinks with his little head.  Brenda's mouth is in a permanent pout.  She was OK busting up Jayden's parents marriage, so it's no wonder Jayden avoids them.

I do so love to listen to Nick expound on these things. He is so wise and you can tell that he spends a lot of time thinking. 

Here we go. Jealousy. The worst fault a woman must wrestle with. 

Well, Danielle. You'd better get used to "sharing your love" with other women. Cause these people are poly and into mixing things up, or I'm a turkey. 

After Nick got into bed with Wife#2, the scene shifted to Wife#1 and Danielle getting into a second bed, and covering up with an arm’s length in between.  I stopped in my tracks to wait for W1’s arm to reach across the gap to test the waters with Danielle.  Anyone else?

Boat Boy cannot be that clueless and blindsided and still be allowed to drive.  Brenda is a bundle of needs that can likely not be met.  Dang !  He really trolled for a simpleton-doormat when he “courted” her.  Oh, I loved his furtive plea to us to understand that polygamy had nothing to do with Wife#1 leaving.  That’s the Little Dinghy talking again.  He is so devoid of apt and appropriate emotion.  His facial expression and tone of voice don’t meet up with the words coming out of his pie hole.  He shared happy thoughts about the family making soup, and how it’s a family tradition.  Oy!  Again, his happy words didn’t match his overly-filled xanax face.  Additionally, if that’s a happy tradition, why did everyone look like they were gathered to bury the family dog?  Entirely out of touch.  On the other hand, Brenda is too tuned-in, and feels every danged thing

[Jeanne222]

Where did they get these people?  At least Sister Wives made us believe Polygamy was alive and well in the Brown household.

Then the network thought the public loves this and here we are.

Garrick hasn't looked the same since he wrestled Bert under the sheets!  Was he struck by lightning and unable to speak?  Did anybody think Lea was interested and would stay even one night?

Then there's Nick.  He's a strange bird.  Maybe there's more to him in the bedroom but whatever makes anybody droll over Nick?

Brenda loves Steve with money, boats, cruise.  Whatever he says, decides, wants is OK with her.

Gidean comes with all kinds of excitement doesn't he.  They wonder why nobody chooses them.  Let me count the ways of creepy!

I'd love to be at a casting for this show.  If this group got picked can you even imagine the rejects!  Gives me the willies!  😎

Nick, the manliest of all men with the sex drive of one thousand bulls fakes orgasms by squirting a little lotion on a woman’s back?!

I am reading this at work, pretending that I am working, but you are blowing my cover as I just laughed out loud at this visual!

I would also fully expect that he only eats fruits and veg from a limited portion of the color wheel, or maybe a raw only diet.  Something a little extra, because he’s just so danged special.

On 7/11/2022 at 10:10 PM, Pepper Mostly said:

Well the chemistry between these two is really crackling! The electricity jumps off the screen! "You're really tall!" "Here's the ocean" "You smell good". Poetry.

I wish they hadn’t edited out what would have been my favorite part…”you’re my king”… “I’m my king, too”.

At first, I thought well that’s nice to know that there is possibly a dealbreaker in regards to his child’s comfort.  Then corrected myself by pointing out that if that was the motivation, he and Squeaky would have addressed it with A during a video date.  If it had been of paramount importance to discuss, he wouldn’t have waited till the knocking of boot was imminent.  Even if she said that she couldnt deal with his child, he was confident that he could coerce her into parting of the ways sex.

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

I feel like I need to shower. So we have Nick in what appears to be a large rental probably a block away from their house and the two ladies need to share a bed still? WTH? Bobble head Danielle gets to cozy up with wife no 1. Sideo hits the Philippians for sunsets and hopefully some sexy time, the previews look good for that hot mess coming next week. Steve and Brenda, clearly she is happy without having to share Steve and probably isn't into the polygamous life. Bert is looking more like a gold digger now that Garrick is probably sending her money every month and she doesn't seem to want to come to the US.

The whole episode was cringey.  Nick and his harem are disgusting, kissing them one after another all that spit swapping and then the big nosed one gets the prize that night while Mama Cass and Bobblehead go off to share a bed.  Danielle’s constant shaking of her head is so annoying, I find it hard to watch this group.  

Poor Brenda, Jayden hit the nail on the head, you are not enough for Steve.  Garrick needs a B12 shot or something, he acts dopey and mopey all the time.  At least we didn’t have to see him crying like a little bitch about Bert.  I knew Leah wouldn’t work out, she can do so much better than sad sack Garrick.  Sidian is just a bore and this girl seems very nice.  Wonder if it worked out.

[Raine]

Garrick is a slack-jawed doofus.  That is all.

Oh, yes, Garrick. You need to focus your attention on Bert. He's visibly panting with anticipation. 

God he's such an ineffectual, damp, stupid man. 

Seriously!  And do you think that prospective clients think he's a capable builder?  Hell to the nawwww....  I just wonder if the TLC $$$ is better than the homebuilding $$$.

I wouldn't trust him to turn on the kitchen faucet, much less BUILD MY HOUSE!!!!

She's flitting around the house like a Disney princess, humming and ironing Sidian's underwear, then having a nice quiet wank as she hugs his t shirt to her bosom and listens to a recording of his droning voice.
