I can imagine she thinks everyone wants their mugs plastered all over the place like she does. Ain't necessarily so, Mer. My picture cannot be found on the internet anywhere. 7 Link to comment

Not sure why they cut them up, unless it was just to provide a bite size snack for those that don't want a whole bun. Me, I could eat that whole plate, lol! 1 7 Link to comment

Parowan's "claim to fame" is the number of restaurants that make and sell cinnamon rolls. And since the nearest Costco is 67 miles away in St. George . . . these are NOT Costco rolls, but they are definitely as big.

Did they actually state they were baked at the B&B? It would make more sense to source them from one of the established cinnamon roll bakeries in the area. It's like my church - we're known in the community for (among other attributes) our bountiful donut trays (along with our fabulous volunteer barista team) but the donuts come from an independent local bakery.

Meri posted pictures a while ago of the cinnamon rolls either about to go in the oven or just out, can't remember which. But they were definitely presented as being baked on premises. Could very well be premade and ready to bake ones. Honestly, even if they were Costco, I'd be happy, they have some great bakery goods, lol. My cousin brought a huge Costco apple pie to my house for a gathering recently, and even my super picky brother raved about it.

I think it's when annoying people "borrow" the words and mannerisms of others for whatever reason. Meri is unlikable and annoying, so that makes it worse and it's awkward any time she uses it. I also dislike Whitney Thore, but "y'all" is part of her culture so it seems natural when she uses it. And honestly, shame on me as an anthropologist (my thesis was on linguistics) and it's a free country--people can say whatever they want. But, Meri annoys me so, just about anything that comes out of her mouth seems disingenuine to me. ETA: "Ya'll" may be part of Whitney's culture but it did annoy me when she kept saying "Alasker" in reference to Alaska. She also uses old teen slang with makes her sound like an idiot, too. No need!

DakotaJustice July 9, 2019 Share July 9, 2019 The thing that kills me is the fans who post how "Meri deserves true love" and so on. Yeah, we all deserve true love I suppose. But she's such a dour, sour person and has been since Janelle decided to leave her husband (Meri's brother) to pursue Kody. All one has to do is read their book to find out what a bitch Meri is. (And that's the WHITEWASHED version of events.) As long as the TLC buckaroos keep coming in, she'll never leave. I happen to be of the opinion that individually none of these people (and I'm including the kids here) are interesting enough to support their own continuing series. I mean really what does Meri do on a typical day? She must spend at least half of her waking hours doing LLR shit which of course can't be on the show. The B&B reminds me of the "wedding farm" run by that little people family that I'm blanking on at the moment in an attempt to become relevant again, which failed as a show if memory serves. Not every guest wants to be an unpaid extra on a reality TV show. I think the fact that Meri's real life is like watching paint dry is the reason why the catfish keeps being brought up like a bad penny. It's been FOUR YEARS ALREADY. 11 Link to comment
Sandy W July 9, 2019 Share July 9, 2019 The show would have died a natural death years ago had it not been for the catfish incident. I originally tuned in to try to understand the dynamics of a polygamist lifestyle and up until the catfish incident, they portrayed themselves as just a fun-loving group who enjoyed commitment ceremonies, wacky dancing and righteous indignation at the government for trying to tell them how to live and who to love. Interesting for a few seasons, but no real presentation of the hurts, anxieties, and fears that surely exist in these relationships. It wasn't until Meri's fall from grace and their inability to cover it up that the true underbelly began to show. They should all be thanking Meri and J.O. for providing them with a storyline and subsequent seasons. 17 Link to comment

DakotaJustice July 9, 2019 Share July 9, 2019 I'm sure there are people who would watch spinoffs.

We had a work one a few years ago and half the people got sick from cheesecake bites that were left out for too long. I can't eat most of what people bring anyways. I'm gluten-intolerant, can't process dairy well and don't eat most meat.

DakotaJustice July 11, 2019 Share July 11, 2019 We still do potlucks at work but no one has time to cook, so most of us walk across the street to Costco to buy something to share. Lots of Mac and cheese and rotisserie chickens. 5 Link to comment
