"Give Me Your Mud". The Plath family comes together to run the Spartan Race, but things quickly get muddy when their family bonding event turns competitive. Meanwhile, Olivia and Ethan take time to rediscover themselves post-divorce, and Micah's mystery girlfriend leaves everyone stunned.

A Spartan race? LOL

More like Night of the Living Deadbeats,  or Planet of the Plaths.

Am I the only one who couldn't give even half a fuck about Micah's girlfriend SHOWING HER FACE! Girl, nobody cares. Seriously.  That's really all I got.

ETA: I'm realizing tonight that the whole Ethan/Olivia storyline drive a lot of my interest in this shitshow. Tonight's episode had minimal Olivia on it and it was boring AF. Also, xoming attractions of Ethan trying to get a girls number, thst dude is going to be so put of depth trying to date normal womenfolk.

I was highly skeptical (and bored) about them participating in a real Spartan Race, but since Kim refused to participate, we didn't see her at all this week, so I cannot complain too much.

The part with Micah and his girlfriend was so fake I expected the subject of "white guy tacos" to be spoken.

What's Olivia doing in California? How is she affording these cross-country trips?

Yes @Gharlane! When man-child Ethan wouldnt sign divorce papers and Olivia had to go back to MN, i would have been, " hey buddy, I'm not spending $$ to return, sign now". 

They seem to wander a lot for people with no discernable jobs.

I asked about their jobs/finances a few episodes ago. Plus it takes $$ to move, rent a new apartment (unless you're sponging off of your invisible girlfriend), etc. These people seem to spend their days doing Pilates, drinking at cafes, choreographing dances, and sitting on broken-down boats.

I almost spit my water out when Micah acted like there was even a remote possibility of Kim doing a Spartan race. I mean....[insert some observations that I'm absolutely not allowed to make on this platform]. Spartan races, even at 3.2 miles, are incredibly physically demanding. I love running, consider myself in decent condition, and I've run 2 of them in my life. But yea....apparently the kids were a bit surprised that Kim....KIM wasn't taking part. 

Outside of that, this entire episode sucked. The big attraction was Micah's GF finally showing her face and explaining why she didn't want to be on TV. Woo! Big night.

Every episode is like Groundhog Day when it comes to Ethan and Olivia discussing their relationship/breakup/divorce.

IIRC, Olivia is living  in LA with her sister isn't she? As for her traveling a lot, she's a wedding photographer who specializes in destination weddings so I think k she probably takes some personal time before ir after a job wherever she happens to be. But regarding her driving back and forth from LA to MN, I'm sure The Lying Chanel is funding those trips since they're for camera time, and I'm guessing they fly her to Minneapolis and do driving shots en route to wherever it is that she and Ethan were living. It's all 'fake, fake, fake, fake'™️ (Elaine Benes).

Olivia also travels to Europe several times a year and stays at expensive hotels. Her Instagram is filled with pics drinking champagne and eating in expensive restaurants. She says she photographs about two weddings a month when she is not in Europe and can’t possibly make enough money to live the lifestyle she does. She must be making good money as an influencer.

This episode showed me what a jackass Micah is. Between his I won because you didn't throw the spear and the random one upping his girlfriend, he's a total tool.

If she is, I say good her!

But she only has that kind of “fame “ because she is part of the Plaths, people she despises. I’m guessing if she changed her last name and was no longer on the show she wouldn’t have the money to do this stuff. According to Glassdoor a wedding photographer who works every weekend makes around $60,000.

I don't understand why a couple would hire a 'destination photographer' and then pay for their travel and accommodations at the wedding venue.  What would Olivia bring to the table that a local couldn't?  Seems to me that if you're going to travel to a remote location to get married, it would be better to hire someone local to the area who would understand the weather and lighting conditions and probably have some suggestions for using the local scenery in photos.  Not to mention not needing the couple to pay for flights and hotels in addition to their fee.

I've seen Olivia's wedding photos on her website.  She's nothing special, the photos are nice, but there are literally hundreds, maybe thousands, of professionals who could do exactly what she does.

I'm beginning to think the destination wedding photographer job is purely a fictional ploy by production to make it look like Olivia has a real job other than reality TV personality who uses that platform to sell stuff online.

That's exactly why I say good for her! After all the emotional manipulation and abuse she suffered from that family, I hope she rides this wave of D list fame until she squeezes every single dollar she can from it. And the rest of the Plaths can slowy rot in their small minded hell together.

I agree re: Micha's gal. She's better off staying in the background. I have no interest in watching another relationship implode.

I hope we still see Olivia. I loved her entire journey and i appreciate what she shared. I also think she was good for Ethan, although he may not feel that way initially. 

She gradually exposed him to the real world, while supporting him and taking time to explore or explain reasons or responses. And she refused to feel guilty for any activities she wanted to try. They were too young, maturity wise.

Isn't Olivia still an event photographer? I know some clients will pay for her flight. From what I've seen, she's talented.

Olivia should view this as she now "owns" the Plath name and should use it for all time. After what she went through with Kim and Barry, and how she was treated the first few years of the show, I hope she tells everyone that "Yes, she used to be part of that family". Kim is also welcome to drop the Plath name if Olivia's name is an issue for her.

True, the only reason we initially know of Olivia is because of the Plaths.

However, her present popularity is due to viewers seeking her out. Fans are the ones who raised Olivia's profile, as well as followed her throughout her marriage and career.

I don't begrudge her the Plath name because she went through hell because of it. And she eventually worked her way through marital expectations, and finally acknowledged (and accepted) their profound differences.

There's nothing that states a woman must return her married name in the event of a divorce.

I’ve zoomed through the last couple of episodes.  Looks like they are trying to bring Amber into the show.  Teaching line dance?  She couldn’t teach and it was only for a couple of other cult members.  Micah’s girlfriend.  Hmmm.  Micah wants to model and act and have a landscaping business.  We don’t see his girlfriend for several episodes.  Now we do and the girl has never tried ranch dressing.  I smell another cult member.  Her bedroom was neat and sparse.  Micah - you gay.
