Chance lies to Tayler

I haven't watched this episode yet, but wow, Chance has seemed so open and honest in all previous episodes so I'm just shocked at this revelation!  😆

I'm sure he's lying only to protect her in some way.

Why is Chance sitting in a bar in the middle of the day when he has a newborn baby at home and a pressure washing business to tend to? The guy is a mess. 

Also do these women not know what birth control is? At least Lindsey has steered clear of getting pregnant with Blaine so far.

Speaking of Blaine, I like the guy. He seems like he wants to do what's right he just doesn't always go about it without screwing up. 

The money conversations always crack me up. Justine happens to have 12k sitting in her bank account. With how many kids to raise on her own all these years? 

Amber acting like coming up with 50k to go into partnership with the restaurant dude is no big deal. 

Derek has money to buy a ring for Monique. Oh, yeah. He has money "set aside". 

I'm doing something wrong in this life!

I was moved a little bit by Blaine's apparently sincere testimony in the church. He seems like a decent dude. Not sure what he sees in Lindsey (other than her looks).

OTOH, I wasn't moved in the slightest by Britt and Marcellino's obviously phony 'romantic, impassioned' dialogue in the parking lot. Ugh, their scenes are my potty break.

I see elsewhere that

Spoiler

Moka's platinum and gold plaques are available on Etsy, and he doesn't seem to have any actual industry background. 

so good luck with that big rap career, Montana Millz. As if we weren't already sceptical of your rented BMW matched with the shabby chain hotel room😏

Will Puppy sober up long enough to get a job or will Queen end up throwing her out of her apartment?

When oh when will the Derek/Big Mo story run out of steam?

Where oh where will Amber get $50K? And did I hear correctly that she quit her job, too? This show must pay better than we

thought, no?

I like Aris and Cameron individually, but not together.

I'm really not a violent person, but I want to punch Chance and slap TayLER. Their poor, poor kids.

Cameron's sister seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

I’m not buying that while Chance has trouble finding employment as a felon he was making $35 an hour in rural Missouri.  Also how much do you want to bet he got “laid off” for knocking off early to go to casinos?  Construction and home repair people are in high demand right now so he wouldn’t have been laid off because business was slow.

Somehow I suspect that before this season is over we'll be treated to the sight of Lindsay disappearing into the bathroom and emerge waving her pregnancy test in the air. Call me psychic.

I'd rather have a professional punch Chance...run him out of town, and return the truck to the finance company.   Then get some REAL HELP for Tayler and her kids (okay, a baby is Chance's) and charge it to TLC.  It's HER house and if he stayed, he'll end up convincing her to refinance it.  I agree, "their poor, poor kids."
