First, if the family admires Caryn, they deserve every bit of whatever they're going to end up feeling when they realize Caryn's all about the benjamins and Matt is as selfish as he's ever been.

The more confused I become about possible reasons for the dogged defense of Matt and Caryn, the more I think about the comparison @funky-rat made above regarding Josh Duggar. I'm not a fundamentalist

I imagine that Amy’s proportions makes shopping for pants really difficult. 

I am also short (not as short as Amy, but under 5 feet), and not thin.  Shopping for pants IS difficult, but not impossible.  When you're this height/weight, a tailor is your friend.  Buy a couple of pairs of jeans (NOT stretchy ones) and a couple of dressier pants, have them all altered and just change out the tops for a new look.  Especially if you're trying to make yourself into a very visible public figure.  Let people focus on your accomplishments, not your shortcomings or what you wear.

To be honest, I think Amy could starve herself, drop 60 pounds even, and she's still going to have big thighs and a big butt.  There's just not much to be done with her body shape.

I agree.  Proportionally, her thighs and butt will always be larger.  Nothing she can do about that.  But she could dress to minimize her physical liabilities.

Particularly when Matt's ventures generally aren't terribly successful. The one house flip that took a year to complete (successful flips generally flip in two months or less). The buying of that piece of property that he had so many awesome plans for once he cleared all the wrecked houses and trees off it that he quietly sold a year or so later with no profit. The children's book that didn't exactly become the next Good Night Moon. The autobiography (Against Tall Odds) that was a small press ego piece. The "movie" he insisted on filming on the farm that has never ever seen the light of day, his various lawsuits that have failed, the stool business, the charity he coopted and then dropped... and this is the short list.

Higher cost than similar masks that were already available.  Oh . . . and since when did she or her family wear masks?

According to Amy's post, "we all need to wear masks when we leave the house for the rest of the year". 

Does she have some inside intel on how long we have to wear masks? LOL.

I'm thinking not much or any at all if that article is correct - and frankly I don't have much reason to doubt it, it was inevitable. The previous sale was her half of the newer wedding property, so this sale sounds like she was selling her interest in the original farm property - which was some 30+ acres before the wedding property was purchased. 

Hope this is true - someone needed to disconnect from the farm property and it was never going to be Matt. Sounds like she got a pretty good deal if this is true.

I'm guessing the next big news will be the wedding if there is one.  I don't think it will be on the farm.  I'm not sure how much influence Matt has with TLC but I can see Matt excluding Amy from the show.  I'm thinking with most of us seeing her ways the producers might be happy to say goodbye!

Zack, Amy's favored child, seems to be in tight with Matt and little Jackson is cute as a button.  I think if Jackson's sister has personality the two of them will be the show!

I do wonder if Amy is ready to move on.  Money is important to her.  I can't see her giving up anything that makes a buck!

Which wouldn't exactly be charming or gentlemanly on his part - to exclude the mother of his children from her primary source of income but I agree that Matt is this sort of jerk. Especially if she just scored nearly a million from him with the sale of the farm.

But a) rumor has it production likes Amy and since the divorce I am utterly certain Amy has separate contract negotiations  but more importantly b) Amy is willing to be filmed. What does that mean? Right now there's three different places and stories to film and follow - Amy, Matt, Zach and Tory. Remove Amy, and Matt and Zach and Tory would have to be filmed that much more. And I don't know if you've noticed but Matt... doesn't really carry the filming load. He' slowed down a lot (I can understand why) and frankly, unlike Amy, he doesn't seem willing to film more intimate just Matt and Caryn scenes. While we see Amy and Chris dating or doing whatever a lot (too much really considering how dull it is) we rarely get companion scenes of Caryn and Matt. When we do see Matt in an episode, he's invariably arguing with Amy over something in his office, or he's on a mule talking, or he's got Jackson and Caryn is hovering. Take Amy out of recent episodes and Matt will need to provide a LOT more storylines. Zach and Tory are as dull as paint and Jackson is a cute kid but small children are difficult to film. I can't see Matt willing to pick up the work load at this point.

Her ways? 🙂

I think the producers are happy at this point with any Roloff willing to be on the show. Personally I find the "dates with Chris" boring - Chris seems like a nice guy but low energy, but Matt would definitely have to fill the void and film more and I question whether he's willing or able.

Not what I am looking for in a show and Zach and Tory might want to consider the bratty depiction of the Klein kids, the Hamil kids, the Johnston (Johnson? That other show with the adopted kids) and even the Roloff kids before they plop Lilah down and say "make her a star!"

I believe I mentioned this previously. Amy stated her contract is up in June. She said she would have to negotiate with TLC to have their wedding filmed.

She has also stated that Zach and Tori may get their own show.

 

🤷🏼‍♀️

"have to negotiate" = "see whether they'll pay for the wedding"  I still don't think it will ever happen.

I believe the way most of us see Amy is the way production sees Amy.  Argumentative, bossy, sour, cheerless, non supportive, disagreeable and never a team player.

Most companies don't want to deal with those types.

Matt has finally succeeded in getting bitter Amy off the farm.  I think TLC will now get her off the show!

I noticed sour Amy in the previews standing with arms folded and angry.  Here she goes again!

At last check, they didn't want to be married on the farm, and I don't see TLC springing for a wedding that isn't ON the farm - the antics need to be filmed in a controlled space. I'm inclined to think it won't happen as well UNLESS its filmed on the farm and I see that being a problem.

More interesting assumptions. This actually goes against how Amy tends to allow her more intimate and personal moments be filmed while other members of the cast don't but to each their own. 

I'll just ask a different question. What's going to be filmed with Amy gone?

Matt bitching about Amy? I mean sure, that's been the *entire show since the start* but nothing says "I'll never get over it" like Matt bitching about Amy if Amy is off the show. Likewise gloating about Amy being gone. Basically, if Amy is off the show, Matt won't have his favorite topic to complain about. No battles with Amy over the farm, no complaining how poor poor Matt is so tuckered out and wants to sell but *Amy* ties him to the farm (funny, isn't it, how Matt has shut his mouth hard about how *he* wants to sell) If Amy is off the show, Matt will need a new target since its very poor form for him to complain about someone publically who isn't allowed air time to defend themselves.

So.... Matt doing more projects? That involves Matt being willing to be filmed doing something other than sitting in his office. Likewise he might have to film more dates with Chacha and somehow I feel like more filming of this relationship might not help it.

Pinning the show on Jackson and Lilah? Maybe but a barely verbal toddler and a baby playing with Granpa's lover only kills so much time. If the kids were a little older and more directable, I could see this as a viable direction. Bu they are pretty young, and Jackson seems to be shy and I personally am not on board with pushing a 3 or 4 year old to perform like a circus dog. 

Trips? We'll ignore how Matt's bitch point has been how he hates travel but... I don't see the quarantines lifting any time soon. 

Pumpkin season? Yeah - not seeing the quarantines letting up. I also took a look at the current reservation thing for the current season and we're a week away from the start of pumpkin season and Roloff Farms isn't exactly sold out. 

Tory and Zach? Call me crazy... I've never found them interesting. A nice couple but dull.

The producers might *need* Amy to be willing to film. 

Mind you, I think the quarantine situation kills a lot of options.

I dislike most nicknames like that because whats wrong with Grandma? Oh right, makes you sound old... well, you are, you have grandchildren

I don't know a single person who calls their grandmother "Grandma".   I know lots of Grams, Grammies, Nans, Nanas, Nannies.....  Who gets to decide what the "universal" term is for grandmother?

I hope they do work out something that allows us to see the wedding and the stuff that happens along the way. I think I read here that Randy is going to or offered to make her dress? Any chance to see Randy in his happiness making others happy is a win for me. I think it would be nice if they have Molly, Tori, Audrey and dang I can't remember Jacob's wife's name but her also along for the dress stuff instead of those two annoying friends of hers. 

It would also be cool to see Chris with his buddy's doing things. I bet Matt would offer to have a bachelor party, haha. 

Random thought: Not a dis towards Amy but I hate that she is called MiMi and I have come to love ChaCha as a moniker for Caryn. Does she have any grandkids? Is that what they call her? I don't dislike MiMi because of Amy, I just don't like it period. 

My grandson, all on his own, came up with Mimi for me. I was calling myself Grammy, and he shortened it to “Mimi”. I wouldn’t trade it for the world—terms of endearment and all that. 
We called both of out grandmothers “Grandma”, but one was called “grandma first name” and the other was “grandma shorty” because she was all of 4’ 11” with hair. No disrespect meant or received— my father( her son ) called her that and we did, too— with love. Nicknames are big in my family.

Of all the things to snark on about Matt and Amy (and their partners), I don’t find nicknames one of them. Ymmv, and I get that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Has nothing to do with feeling old. To me, Grandma was my mother. My grandson started calling me Mom Mom and I love it. He has a different name for each of his grandparents that he came up with on his own.

Fair point. On the other hand, I know several grandmothers who prefer non "Gram" orientated nicknames expressly because they don't want to socially known as that old. 

You do have a point, my mil did not want to be called “grandma or nana” when she first became a grandmother at 49 because it made her feel old. So she came up with Mom mom. It sounded a little too much like “mom” to me, but whatever.
