Chris and Amy

[LucyEth]

What I find unbelievable is the comments on the videos, one person said she was a fantastic cook.😂  Also any 90 day Fiancé fans out there, I noticed Kenneth from 90 Day the Other Way follows Amy on Instagram.  

[Irate Panda]

Amy is not making a lot of money from YouTube.  She doesn’t have that many subscribers in the world of YouTube nor are her views very high.  All things considering she doesn’t have much content either.  It’s better than not having it but it’s nothing huge.

Well, that may be the first thing you WANT to do, but after travelling for a couple of weeks IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC, the first thing you SHOULD do is quarantine yourself for 14 days to make sure you don't infect them with a potentially fatal disease.

WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!!

The Roloff family all around have been behaving like idiots over the pandemic. Amy shouldn't be seeing the kids until after a quarantine and Zack and Tory shouldn't be casually dropping the kids off. Jeremy and Auj are having parties after strolling around the northwest in an RV and Matt is out and about as usual.

Whenever Matt and Caryn are traveling and are in busy public places like airports, they appear to be wearing face shields.  I've never seen ANY masks or shields on any of the rest of them.

[EllaWycliffe]

Mask use is required in both Portland International Airport and Skyharbor International in Phoenix - Matt and Caryn can't fly without wearing masks. I'm not saying it doesn't count but show me the two of them wearing masks in places where they aren't getting escorted out without them. 

And maybe they should consider not traveling out of state during a pandemic - Arizona isn't exactly corona free.

Pictures and captions from Matt's FB indicate they are wearing masks when they're outside in the neighborhood.

Also, I kind of know Arizona isn't exactly corona free.  I live here.

Good for them. I take them off the stupid list... for now. 😉

Not so fast. Every official agency, including CDC and WHO, say face shields are useless unless combined with a mask.

[EllaWycliffe]

I'm giving them credit for actually acknowledging the problem. Agree on face shields but at least they realize there might be a need to alter behavior.

The fact that they have been going to Arizona at all stuns me.

I genuinely doubt she's making a ton of money from it but if she is.... where's the fire?

As stupid and self indulgent as I find her cooking videos (and I find them pretty stupid and poorly made) if she's making money from it and enjoys it, then good for her supporting herself and creating income and a business of her own.

And if she's getting a big check (again I kinda doubt it) for work she enjoys... lucky her.

I never said ton of money!  My guess $5,000 each month!  Easy money.

The point of even pointing out the $$ was that everybody was wondering why she continues making such bad cooking videos.  That's why.  $$$   That's what's cooking!  Lol

Yeah, 60k a year for minimal work. Thats a pretty sweet set up, all things considered. She likes cooking, the videos take minimal time and effort and appear fun to make, and covers living expenses. She probably lets the show money pay for the new house's mortgage, and still gets a share of the pumpkin business. Plus, Matt did have to buy her out with a good chunk of change and she's still sitting on a good piece of jointly owned land.  I can't fault her gameplan.

The cooking videos are terrible and *shouldn't* be making money but thats more the fault of the people giving her hits. Dinosaur erotica makes money on Amazon - is it the fault of the terrible writers or the people who pay money for dino porn?

This is a young Amy with her younger brother. The twins certainly favor their mother.

Jeremy too looks a lot like his uncle and mother.  Almost identical.  I don't see very much of Matt in his physical appearance.  Here's a younger Jeremy.

Did she need to wipe the baking powder from her apron into the bowl? That was gross. Do cooks usually wear rings all over their fingers? It’s a little distracting and makes you wonder what else she does while wearing those things.

I assume she’s targeting beginners with these videos. I’m a novice at cooking, I can make a good burger although it always shrinks to a tiny size and I can make decent chili in the crockpot with the help of McCormick, so the finished pancakes looked good. Granted, I’m used to Aunt Jemima and Bisquick at home, which I prefer over restaurant pancakes.

But I was having a hard time following her, especially when she was rambling about eggs and mixing in the yolk first. Never mind the fact that she doesn’t list out the ingredients and instead estimates and doesn’t really explain why she uses certain ingredients and how the batter should look. Why don’t you want to over mix the batter and what should it look like? Also I’m no expert but a cup of blueberries with one cup of flour seems like a lot of blueberries.  She really should plan these out better. Things like that would be helpful, along with showing the flame or getting someone to zoom in on the pancakes while they cook rather than describing the bubbling. 

 

Hi there- just thought I would share a food blog I really like - and one reason is that she posts step-by-step photos for every recipe so you can see exactly how to do it - she also has a ton of great tips for what ingredients to keep in your kitchen, and various helpful tips and tricks. Also, her recipes tend to be more on the easy end of the scale - https://www.budgetbytes.com/

I listened but it was difficult because Amy rambles and goes way off topic for each question and in fact she actually got so off topic she forgot what she wanted to say.

If she's going to do Q & A's she should STAY ON TOPIC

A little bit of extra details is fine but she just goes on and on and on, I wanted to scream "Shut up!!!!!.. now start over and just answer the damn question!" 

It was painful to listen to her.

Thanks this looks awesome and the food looks delicious.  I actually need this, because usually people tell me to just buy a slow cooker... I do have one, but my meals come out squished or usually the recipes are mainly casserole or soup and stew.

There are numerous pictures of Matt and Caryn without masks  inside   a restaurant with friends ,not a mask in site . There ere Matt with a couple of from employees of company he uses in construction.  No masks. Picture of his father ( 92) on a slide with Jackson. One video just 3 days ago fishing with friends on a small boat ( didn’t even know where he was) . Yikes talk about selfie close up with a fur hat with ear flaps. Ugly. His features are getting huge with age. Step away from the close camera going to scare the fish. 

[SunnyBeBe]

I haven’t seen photos of Matt or others in restaurant, however,  in some states with masks mandate, you are allowed to remove the mask during the meal, then put it back on.  So, being maskless in a restaurant is legal in certain circumstances.  It’s not my idea of safe, that’s why I am not dining in yet.

I saw the above post on Instagram, a few people made comments about what I was also thinking, is all okay between the brothers and their wives.  I have not seen any pictures of interaction between them in months.

Her videos are "the gift (of comedy) that keep on giving!

And Chris is sitting there with (correct me if i'm wrong) a plate with 2 huge (what looks like) fried chicken breasts. Now the salad is no longer the star of the meal. And you know Chris is thinking "stfu and give me the damn salad"!

Yup there she goes wiping her sweat and snot on her hand... Oh well... more green for the salad... Maybe next time she can dig around in her ears for some croutons. 

Her rambling is unbearable, who would have thought that you can make as much or as little amount of salad as you want?!?!??... Really??  🙄

All those rings on her hands as she handles the ingredients is so gross... and then she coughs into her hand.. Lovely.

Maybe for starters she should..Take off the jewelry, wash her hands and keep her fingers out of her nose and hair.... Poor Chris he has to eat her "Green Snot Salad"  😲

Sheesh.

[chenoa333]

Just curious about something. When Amy's divorce became final, does she get to keep her married name? If so, is that simply because she wants her last name to be the same as her kids? Has Amy ever said she's dropping the last name "Roloff" and taking Chris's last name when they get married?

(I'm just asking for a friend who has never been married. LOL!)

On one of her live BS sessions with buddy Lisa, she said she may keep the Roloff name because that is how everyone knows her and her businesses.

Kind of confirms what many of us say.  Matt made her famous, and she's gonna keep her star hitched to the Roloff wagon.

Yes she does. When a woman marries, it's usually a legal name change and a bit of a hassle for the new bride. A lot of women don't change after a divorce, it's not unusual. Technically Amy was a Roloff longer than she was a Knight so if she doesn't want to switch, I don't blame her for not wanting the hassle.

In Amy's case, she's also been using the name Amy Roloff professionally with her charity, the salsa business, the baking/fudge thing and the stupid cooking videos

 Guess what? Ex wives aren't publically stripped of their long term identities as part of their  shaming punishment for failing to keep their man. Matt is traditional and likely insisted she take his name, and that means she gets to keep it if she wants. Maybe Matt should pick better in the future if he doesn't want his next wife to profit too much from his last name.

eta - it's a huge pain in the butt to change names. It can affect one's ability to find medical records and credit applications. And Amy isn't getting spousal support or alimony and thanks to Matt she does make a living as a reality star - is she supposed to leave the reality show as well since she's just a divorced piece of trash and not a member of the family of Roloff, even though she birthed some of them?

Many women keep their "married" last name after a divorce for various reasons. My mother-in-law did. She still has it despite the fact that she was divorced over 50 years ago and her ex-husband passed away shortly after the divorce was final. I don't see anything wrong or unusual about it .

Yes- especially if the marriage was a long one and they lived most of their adult life with it. My god-mother has been married 3x, she now goes by Dr K because that’s the name she got her medical license under. She went by Dr K-K when she was with husband 2 because they had one child together. With husband 3 she says she’s too old to change and whatever. 
 

Amy choosing to remain a Roloff doesn’t surprise me at all.

Tina Turner fought long and hard to keep her name after divorce. So I’m not surprised Amy hasn’t changed hers. Yes- changing names is a huge pain in the ass.

It surprises me since she absolutely despises the man who gave her his name.  Also, she has “her new man” I would think she would want her current man’s name when and if the marriage takes place.

I could understand it both ways. Matt gave her the name 30yrs ago, it’s as much hers as any other name could be (just based on length and usage). 

[floridamom]

Why not hyphenate: Mrs. Amy Roloff-(Whatever Chris' last name is)?

This. I know that some folks are making the 'its purely for profit, she hates Matt but she'll *steal* from Matt's fame, and use his name despite not deserving it or even liking him' but really, we don't treat all divorced women this way, just Amy. It's a pain to do especially when you've had the name for actual decades. Maybe she wants to remain connected to her children through her name. Yes, maybe she is aware of her branding as a reality show star - where she has been Amy Roloff for what, sixteen years, and doesn't want to rebuild that with a new name. These are all reasonable reasons that really have nothing to do with screwing Matt over. Like I said previously - if he didn't want her to be Amy Roloff then he shouldn't have given her the name in marriage.

All married women are allowed to keep their married name if they want after a divorce. Why shouldn't Amy have the same right as other women?

[floridamom]

I watched that whole salad 'recipe' video. Amy is uncomfortable in front of the camera doing these segments. She is also quite "fakey-fakey" sounding especially during that segment to 'hit the like button'.

Where did this woman learn to speak English? Is it regional where she grew up? Did/does her family speak like this also? For a public figure who has been on television for many years, she comes across on these silly videos as quite the uneducated/unhygenic/ill-prepared and fake. Chris looked like he would have rather been anywhere else on Earth but there with her. Their 'kiss' was awful. He looked like he doesn't want to appear in these videos at all. I don't blame him one bit. I wonder how he would feel if she does keep her first husband's last name. She uses it quite often and it's public. I don't think my present husband would be very comfortable with me still being known as Mrs. First Husband's Last Name. It's a constant reminder of the past. Chris should do an interview.

I don’t think anyone is saying she doesn’t have the right to keep the name, I know that is not what I am saying.  I am just surprised since she obviously hates Matt and has a new “man”.  I would think it would thrill her to drop Roloff and take on Marek.  

[EllaWycliffe]

Well, perhaps Amy doesn't hate the name that Matt shares with her blood children and grandchildren enough to deny the relationship to other family members. I mean trust me, it can be quite hurtful when your mother uses your father's last name as an insult. "You're such a Wycliffe!"* was the insult of my childhood. Maybe Amy doesn't hate Matt enough to deny the relationship or to deem anything with the Roloff name shitty.

*Wycliffe is not actually my last name but you get the point. But thats on top of reasons like its a pain in the ass, it causes record keeping problems, she's had a professional speaking and television career under her married name.

Everyone realizes she was married to Matt long enough that she's attached to his SSN as well, right? Even though they divorced! Just like his last name, Matt married her and this is a cost.

Amy always looks like she smells bad and she has a terrible habit of talking with her mouth full of food.

I had a hard time watching the entire salad video because she rambles too much and most of it is nonsense plus she's constantly reminding us that Chris is her man! Her meat man!

Watching her scurry back and forth with her dirty feet, handling the food with all that jewelry, wiping her nose, swiping her hair out of her eyes made me lose my appetite.

Chris must have a cast iron stomach or maybe he's a stinky guy and doesn't mind poor hygiene.

 

 

 

 

[Irate Panda]

She’s probably keeping Roloff because people would be like who is Amy Marek?  I mean it makes sense considering the business ventures.  I’d also imagine at least one of her kids would have an issue with it. Plus, I can imagine Amy thinking Karen might be trotting around with the Roloff name on Roloff Farms someday.  Most importantly, I’d dread the intro to her videos.  
 

Amy: Hi, it’s Amy...Amy Roloff...Amy Roloff-Marek...Amy Roloff- Marek’s Little Kitchen...Amy Marek’s Little Kitchen.  
Me: <Fustrated>
