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

Not any more.  I believe the new ranch manager is named Karen, and she is living in the big house.

 

Amy said last night that Karen who is renting the big house is not the farm manager.  Honestly I didn't pay attention to the rest of what she said, but she corrected Lisa on that point. Something about she is a long time friend of Matt's and she met her when they moved to Oregon.  

Zach wrestles and rolls around on the floor with Jackson and sort of acts like he did with his own siblings when they were young and destroyed their home.  Everyone is right, he is following Zach's lead.

Maybe there were some arguments about the food bill, although I doubt it cause "my man" looks like he likes to eat.

Oh in that Bloody Mary salad video she says her man does not like onions, so she will only put a few.  WTH is wrong with her, when someone doesn't like something you give them NONE!

Oh Amy, never change

Karen the tenant is at least the pumpkin season manager; that was stated a couple of years ago.  I think Caryn "helped out" this past year, but not in an official capacity.

She will only put a few, and then she puts as much on his as she does on hers.

With the potato salad, "Chris doesn't like onions," so she used only half.  Oh, but wait!  Too many potatoes, so she added the second half...  Learn to love it, Chris!

Amy might be to busy with her things but Caryn is flipping a house and babysitting!

Is she flipping a house?

Amy leads a life that is very full and busy with, as I said before, bike trips, vacations, posting selfies, doing "lives" with Lisa, home improvement projects, cooking videos, I assume her charities still, walking Felix, nights out with the BFFs, shopping (which she seems to enjoy), soup night, etc. -- oh, and "my man" -- so not sure how much time she'd have for that. 

So, a divorced woman with no children at home has a wide circle of friends and enjoys a variety of different activities... and should be sitting at home, waiting for the grandkids to be dumped off because people with grandchildren who don't revolve their lives around being available for the grandkids are bad? Don't love the grandkids? What's the problem here? 

Personally I think Caryn babysits more *on camera* in part because she kinda has to as it's part of keeping Matt sweet and because there's no other storyline.

.I always got the feeling that Lisa was *that friend* who is always whispering into your ear how horrible your partner is and how you deserve better and generally stirring the pot for the fun of the drama or whatever.  Even all these years later, she's still constantly making snide comments about Matt and Caryn, making insinuations and stoking the discontent. 

Maybe. I'm actually struck by how similar her behavior is to Caryn when Caryn is talking to Matt about Amy.  That said, lets see, Lisa is friends with Amy, and Amy doesn't like Matt. Stands to reason Lisa as a loyal friend for whatever reason would also not care for Matt.

As for the onions things, I honestly thought it was as simple as this. Amy is making the potato salad as part of her vast cooking video empire. Therefore she is making the recipe for a broad audience. Most people like onions. Chris does not. She's making the potato salad for the wider viewing audience to watch so she uses onions while noting Chris doesn't like them. Maybe Chris won't eat it, maybe it will be served in one of these get togethers. Being married doesn't mean every decision no matter how petty, has to be done for the partner's wants. With respect, I don't see Chris making all decisions in accordance with Amy's likes and wants - and he shouldn't have to, and neither should Amy. If the recipe is best with onions and you're making it as a display piece essentially, then you use onions regardless of whether your fiance likes them.  My mom, when teaching people how to make her spaghetti sauce made it to the recipe that was standard and not the recipe she used for me - which was plain noodles with butter and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

Again, its still a cooking video for the viewing pleasure of people apparently needing a recipe for potato salad, not Chris's only meal of the day. And we don't always get served exactly what we want by our spouses. If she's serving him food he hates on a daily basis, honestly he's a big boy and reasonably smart so I have no sympathy if he's just putting up with that. And I doubt that's the case, he doesn't seem like a doormat.

On that live Instagram chat, there must have been 50 posts about how wonderful her hair looked.  Well, we know it was clean, unlike most of her cooking videos.  I'm just amazed at how people gush over her.

There’s something hunky about that gushing!  I know she refers to mods that keep out the ones that don’t like Amy!

Heck everything is for sale these days. Maybe she bought a block of fans!!!

To me, Caryn is shown babysitting on camera because she’s babysitting the children who are on the show.

Going by posts of Amy’s, she has Ember and Jackson for occasional sleepovers. Ember isn’t on the show.

I wonder how he feels about M&C not being invited to the wedding because Amy didn't want them there when he clearly would have.  Another "You're SOL, Chris!" moment.

We're talking about the guy who didn't bother giving Amy a guest list right? Seems like if Chris would be heartbroken without Matt and Caryn there, he could have said something. It would, after all, make great tv.

But then maybe Chris saw the episode where Matt and Caryn were heehawing with glee how they would turn down an invite and decided not to bother since they made their feelings very public and very clear. I'm kind of amazed that Amy is the bitch for not inviting people who so clearly said they weren't interested and would decline an invite. Seems like she took their very obvious hint... yet she's still somehow the bitch.

He DID give her his guest list exactly when he said he would, at the end of January (ignoring Amy's nagging him for it before then).  And he DID ask if he could invite Matt and Caryn.  Maybe "in jest," but thus many a truth is told.

Did Amy say in her "Live" that the farm won out because she fiddled around and missed out on choosing one of the other venues in time?

Haha!

But remember Amy is accountable for Chris's every request - if he says no onions, then dammit she's a bitch for adding onions. Why isn't Chris a bitch for not providing a guest list when asked? After all,  they're going to be married and he's accountable for her every request just like she is, right?

If you genuinely believe Amy is wrong to not invite two people that she clearly has bad feelings for and who laughed and publically mocked the idea of attending her wedding, I can't help you. I can see why Matt and Caryn wouldn't be welcome, just for that alone. Chris knows the backstory - the backstory of "Amy genuinely believes Matt cheated on her during their marriage with Caryn" and if he doesn't see the problem, then he's kind of an asshole. 

It's not unreasonable or unexpected for a person to not invited their ex spouse that they don't get along with to their wedding.

Matt and Caryn being invited or not is just some good bullshit to talk about since it was mentioned a few times on the show.  I don't think anyone really cares, I know I don't! 

It's unreasonable for someone to have their wedding on the property of their ex spouse they don't  get along with and seem to dislike.

If we're ignoring the "TLC is paying everyone involved to provide a storyline" aspect, then I completely agree.

If we take that factor out, then I see no reason why Matt would offer, and no reason why Amy would accept. Frankly, all talk aside, I wouldn't be shocked if this ultimately resolves with Matt attending because TLC is paying for drama.

I don't recall M&C saying they wouldn't attend because they don't like Amy.  If anything, Matt WOULD attend because he DOES like Chris (and vise-versa)!  I think the laughter at the suggestion in that TH was in response to Amy's anticipated reaction if they did.  It would not be pretty!

Anyone else hear Amy say in her "live" something like, "Well, even if Chris doesn't dress exactly like I want him to, I won't care because I'll be in my dress" (Lisa chimes in with how beautiful she's going to look, blah blah)...  Could Chris be rebelling?  But no worries...

I couldn’t be married to Amy (Matt either, well actually most of the Roloffs including Zach and Jeremy) and I do think Amy often comes across as angry or bitter sometimes.  On the show, I think some is played up for ratings, this is across-the-board.  But Amy does stuff on IG, as well, and I really think if Amy didn’t want Lisa to make certain comments they would have stopped long ago. I really don’t care enough about Matt to care if Lisa makes comments, but I personally think they are at times Amy’s thoughts without Amy having to say them.  I think Lisa might feel that way too, but I’m saying I think Amy is ok with all of it.

As far as why Chris is there, I do think he does love Amy because it is “so easy”.  (I’m gonna disregard the costumes and such because well I don’t want to think about anybody on that show doing anything)  However, I think it’s “easy” for a lot of reasons.  He didn’t live with her full-time until early this year or late last year.  It’s easier to deal with flashes of anger when you can go home and hang out with Henry. Two, being with Amy did increase his disposable income.  The money from the show, notoriety from the show helping to get clients, splitting bills with Amy all is bonus money.  Three, I think he truly believes Amy will NEVER cheat on him.  I’m not in her mind, but I don’t think she will either. I do think that is even more of sticking with him since he has been cheated on before.  Four, I think they have similar hobbies and I do think Amy enjoys doing them, especially since Matt wasn’t physically able to do a lot of them at least in the later years.  

The problems come when he’s living with what he perceives as clutter or banging into drawers and doors for years because I don’t see Amy changing a whole lot.  She won’t even stop something as simple as putting onions in the potato salad, which is for him, when she could have simply said I’m not putting onions in because Chris doesn’t like them or not said anything at all because her written recipes don’t follow the video a lot of the time anyway.  She’s always making substitutions.  Potato salad, wedding outfit, wedding dessert, garage space, a lot of these are minor things, but added up over years will grow frustrating.  I think the real test will come when the show ends and the money decreases (they won’t be poor just less guaranteed money) and that will most likely make Matt less of a target because she won’t be around him as much. At that time, I think more flashes of anger will be directed at Chris and it won’t be as easy anymore.  If the weird “bromance” isn’t being pushed by producers, the flashes might come sooner than that.

I hope the background for Amy’s wedding of the century is a half built garage… would serve her right for letting her fat toady friend bad mouth Matt during every IG LIVE. 

I suspect this will be the case and will end the notion that Matt is perfectly over his ex and just happy that she's out of his life. ;)

Note - I think one of the dumbest decisions Amy has made is to have the wedding on the farm precisely because Matt can't resist antics, so I have very little sympathy.

As for what Chris wants - he's a grown up. I tend to agree with Irate Panda in that he's picking a woman who won't cheat on him.

Exactly I think her fat toady friend insults Matt and Caryn for Amy.

Amy could put a stop to it if she wanted to…. I think it would be hilarious if Matt banned Lisa from his property… no wedding for fat toady and her ridiculous Jayne Mansfield hair.  😂

Ah, Matt exerting his power to be petty and exclude Amy's guests sorta argues against that "Matt is absolutely over Amy and moving on" thing. 

I figure Lisa has actually met Matt and might have her reasons for not liking him. Amy doesn't have to put a stop to it.

In the live (not quoting exactly) Amy said  two venues were no longer available on the date that was chosen. She said Chris discussed with her, the fact that the two of them spent a lot of time on the farm, and it meant something to him. It was something she hadn’t considered.

So, the farm was chosen for the wedding.

I can't imagine why the friends' back yard would no longer be available.  Are they offering it some other late-middle-aged couple having a royal wedding?

Obviously Chris wanted it at the farm, so he finally got a gimme!  He loves it there and also clearly wanted Amy to build on it with a view of the sunset looking across the quiet fields (as opposed to him having to build up the privacy fence and install a fountain to drown out the too-close, noisy neighbors in Deb's burbs).

I suspect they also DID THE DEED for the first time there, so sentimental value!

Loved your comment about the friends' back yard.  From what I've read (didn't see the episode), Amy was not very nice to them, so maybe they decided that the day before the wedding would be a good time to schedule fertilizer to be delivered, thus making it unavailable.

There's only one rea$on the wedding will be at the farm, and it - like everything else in Amy'$ life - has nothing to do with what Chris wants.

She did say all of this and it is total bullshit and the Chris stuff about the farm is laughable. Talk about putting a spin on things.  Oh and the wedding is definitely being filmed (she almost said so during the live), the only question is will it be shown live or taped and shown at a later date.  

If Matt ever banished Lisa, there would be no maid of honor unless the other lemming stepped in on the fly.

TLC never shows any of the weddings or events live.  The most that could be hoped for is a rushed post production for a special 2 or 3 weeks after the event.
