Chris and Amy

[ginger90]

Amy eating was very noticeable  because, she was the only one eating, and everyone else was paying attention to the man giving instructions to the group.

[LucyEth]

I was trying to see who Chris was painting with, but he was not really visible.

[EllaWycliffe]

Again, it didn't look outside normal manners. If there was a whole table of food then obviously people were allowed and expected to eat.  Really, this feels like a mountain being made out of a molehill. No one was frowning in disgust and most of them weren't Amy's buddies and theoretically required to not comment.

When did Amy tour the Louvre?  I must've missed that episode!

They did have an episode set in Paris, a while ago. I remember because Matt wanted to skip the line at the Eiffel Tower by playing the dwarf card.

I believe that episode was in 2010. That’s when I still watched. 😂🤣

Maybe the table full of food was for socializing AFTER the painting lesson, as there didn't seem to be much time allowed before.  Deb really should have schooled Amy since it looks like this was her thing!

I think it's fine she had a Shower, what I find odd is that Molly isn't there?  I get that she lives in Spokane, but you're mom getting married is a pretty big deal.  Surely she could've taken a weekend off.

If the shower was mainly a made for TV moment which I expect it was, I wouldn't expect Molly to bother with it.

Exactly … whatever the case Amy is the only one shovelling food in her yap and just because no one said “omg look at that little troll eating like a pig and talking with her mouth full” doesn’t mean that people didn’t notice and think it was rude.

Amy talks with her mouth full everywhere she goes so it’s not like this was a one time thing… she has the manners of a loud, obnoxious caveman.

Except that Auj doesn't appear on the show, either, and she was there.  Molly at least shows up in Amy Roloff's Little Kitchen from time to time!

Maybe she'll hold a post-bridal shower get-together for Molly later on; why not?

Again, it was so unnoticeable I needed to ask to have it pointed out. Honestly I doubt anyone noticed or cared and it really wasn't "a little troll eating like a pig" which is why I doubt anyone noticed or cared.

Auj lives down the street, almost walking distance. Molly lives five hours away in a different state.

I think the filming is done for now, I don't the shower will be shown in the next season of the show.

Matt had a video recently where he said they are currently filming.

My answer was in response to the poster who thought Molly wouldn't want to appear in a made-for-TV event.  Neither would Auj, since she's not on the show.

As for the distance, as I said earlier, surely either Amy or TLC could have paid for her airfare if Molly couldn't or wouldn't herself (I get the feeling she's thrifty).

Maybe Molly's expecting and not feeling up to a plane ride?  Pure conjecture.  But Tori's mind would be blown!

[Absolom]

Yeah, they still have the wedding hanging out there to be filmed.

Okay, thanks.  They don't get much of a break Caryn's post about filming ending was just on June 16.  Maybe wedding special filming?

[LucyEth]

About Amy eating, didn't appear that anyone else was had a plate.  Usually people who are meeting potential dating partners and new people, don't dig into the snack table or bulldoze their way to the bar announcing "where can I get wine".   She is just obnoxious, I really don't know how anyone can stand her.

She did it at Caryn's too, the only one eating.

“Unnoticeable” to you… in fact you didn’t even notice the table full of food and said there was only drinks… it was plenty noticeable to me and others.

Most people aren’t going to make faces or say anything because they aren’t rude like Amy but I’m sure they noticed like the rest of us.

He’s handicapped he shouldn’t have to wait in line like everyone else… when hubby and I went to the Eiffel Tower handicapped people went ahead of us and rightfully so.

That’s standard procedure at most attractions around the world.

And on the Lives.  Does Lisa ever eat, or just drink?

I must say, this is the one thing I can't fault Amy for.  I also love food!

Agree.  In fact, I'm surprised they didn't have the whole place to themselves like Whitney Way Thore did for her "proposal."  TLC has come up in the world since 2010!

I missed that episode, as I didn't even watch reality TV then.  Hard to believe now!

Lisa just sips a drink meanwhile Amy usually has crackers, cheese, pickles, olives, grapes, meat and everything but the kitchen sink and she talks with her mouth full the whole time… a couple times she started to gag and I thought she might choke to death.

I doubt anyone involved couldn't afford the plane fare. It's still a lot of travel time for a small backyard party.  If you arrive two hours before the flight, the flight takes an hour if you get a non stop flight (not easy) and you pretty much get a few options to pick from. Same day return is possible but its basically spending the entire day in transit for Molly to fly down and then fly home. For Audrey its a five minute drive. 

Ticket price is pretty reasonable - 319.00 when I looked for round trip, but it really involves giving up the whole day... for a small backyard party.

If you think it was a horrendous shitshow, go ahead. To me it was literally blink and it's missed. When someone is genuinely out of line, manner wise, people do indeed step in.  I doubt anyone noticed that bitch eating crackers. (hee hee she really was eating crackers and people are bitching!)

Maybe so, but he was zooming around on his red scooter without a care in the world until he saw the length of the line and then got whiny. At least he could sit, unlike the rest of the masses who were standing. His attitude was bad and entitled.

He’s still handicapped and allowed to go to the head of the line… we saw people with scooters at the head of the line most of them had canes or crutches to walk with like Matt because they didn’t allow scooters up the tower.

To me the best (worst) was when she was eating cherries and picking the pit out of her mouth with her fingers. In private, maybe, but come on.

Matt is severely disabled and has missed out on a lot in life because of that.  If he's entitled to break line, I don't blame him a bit for taking advantage (but not unfair advantage) of that.

[LucyEth]

I wonder if Aud and Tori's parents are invited to the wedding.  They may not go after their experience with Amy cursing and yelling at that Thanksgiving dinner they attended a few years ago

If it was due to his handicap, I'd agree. He clearly states in that episode that he doesn't want to wait in a two hour line and will "work the system". It had nothing to do with his disability, he just didn't want to wait.

Probably not as they don't socialize with Amy. I know everyone gets all "All roads lead to Matt" but hmmm... I seem to recall a little bitch whining at the table that he was told his dinner was gonna be at six and its six and he's at the table and where is his dinner... as both sets of in-laws sat in a completely different room because they understood the kids weren't ready to serve dinner yet. Gosh, I feel like Amy might have been provoked by a certain little bitch who literally did nothing but complain as his form of "help" with the dinner. 

[LucyEth]

She should not have cursed like that, it was her cursing that raised eyebrows.

Hell no they aren’t cool enough to roll with Amy

remember her girls night out with her cussing, swearing, telling dirty jokes and then dancing like drunk strippers friends?

I kind of doubt that Tori or Auj’s mother would be comfortable hanging out with that crowd

Actually I think it was her anger that raised eyebrows and Matt's assholery - he was picking a fight and she fell for it. 

"Blow it out your ass" isn't that high on the cursing scale. Trust me, I know ;)

It was, "You know what?  Shove it up your ___!" as I recall it.  But I'm sure that didn't raise eyebrows. 🙄

Seems to me (I'd have to rewatch the whole episode) that Matt DID ask if she needed any help and offered to bring something, and Amy shot him down with, "You're asking me that NOW, two hours before dinner?" or words to that effect followed by her derisive, bitter laughter.  Classic Amy!

It's Thanksgiving, a holiday Matt has celebrated many times and has some idea involves a great deal of work... and he waits to offer help mere hours before the event?  I can see why that might annoy Amy.

Not as bad as the fight picking little bitch demanding his dinner, imo.

Yes but even when Amy is vulgar and cussing in front of company…. All roads lead to Matt! 

[ginger90]

Honestly, 2 hours before company would be coming, I wouldn’t mind someone asking me if they could bring something. There could be something that was forgotten.

I disagree

[Joan of Argh]

I’m sure once Amy is married Chris will be in Matt’s shoes and I can’t wait for “All Roads Lead To Chris” because it’s going to happen… people are already blaming him whenever there’s a disagreement or Amy gets pissy.

he’s a dumb schmuck and doesn’t have a clue what he’s in for 😂

This assumes the show will run that long. 

I personally think Chris has been pretty reasonable in his disagreements with Amy. My small gripe with him is that I think Amy has clearly communicated how she doesn't like him being pals with Matt, and thats not an unreasonable request.

Not really.  I also have handicaps and wait the same as everyone else most places.  I don't expect to get pulled out of lines ahead of people.  I did appreciate the special treatment at Canadian customs, but that was because I looked like I was going to pass out not because I had to use a cane.  

 

[riverblue22]

It looks like Amy has been spending a lot of time working on her tan for the wedding.  I might suggest proper treatment for her face would be a much better option.  The sun has already aged her terribly~

I think it’s unreasonable, personally. Chris comes across as the better person wanting to be friendly toward Matt from the beginning. 

I’m divorced after 22 years. Believe me,  it can work.

[EllaWycliffe]

I don't think its a big ask. There's billions of people on the planet and Amy is asking Chris to not be besties with her ex husband. 

[DonnaMae]

I wouldn't call them best friends.  They're just getting along, as they should.  They're going to be spending time together during holidays when the family gets together.  What a miserable time it would be for everybody if they were not cordial and speaking with each other.  I was married twice, and my ex and my husband were friendly.

You realize that Matt is disabled and can't actually "help," right?  He was basically asking if she needed him to bring anything over or pick anything up before he arrived, and she had to be RUDE about it.  True to form!  You can't say she's not consistent...

Yes; how dare Chris not roll over on one single point when Amy tells him to!  Other than this, he's the perfect lap dog.  I mean husband.
