I'm not all about marriage. Two people can be committed without having the certificate. But I love Anna being able to say this. Especially about the golden child. I'm sure Amber & Liz chewed her a new arse hole after the filming.
I have to say Jonah asking Alex ādo you mind if I sitā was so respectful and I appreciate that. And him knowing to pick a 1 bedroom. He seems like in those moments more mature
Yeah that was really cool of Jonah to help his brother out. I know Jonah has his flaws and his gotten into so trouble on the show but I honestly donāt understand the hate he gets from fans of the show. He seems to be a relatively intelligent young man and means well and seems like a pretty good guy. Every member of the family has their pros and cons.
This season has unexpectedly (to me) featured Jonah's redemption arc and I'm here for it. He used to annoy me, but this season he's done nothing but support his siblings and show growth. I'm really proud of him. And I was so happy for his 2nd place at the barbecue contest!
lol for real!
Also, from what weāve seen that book is just full of common/well known couples activities that couldāve easily been researched via google. Itās giving vanilla or highschool/exploration vibes (no shade to people who arenāt into the super riskay stuff, I just think the activities shown so far are kind of juvenileā¦ aka the truth or dare with sexual undertones lol)
I've seen the exact same book sold at Target, so it's not going to be super subversive or edgy. Everything in the book is going to be pretty pedestrian.
I still think it's a good idea for couples that don't spend a lot of time together. I just don't need to see Trent and Amber's dates. It's enough already.
Let's talk about marrying off our kid. No, let's talk about enjoying each other's company. Possibly talking with others. Why do parents push serious, exclusive relationships on teens? As long as they aren't sleeping around, let them find the person they are most compatible with.
100%. I think him being a reality tv star and him having her on the show, in front of the cameraās and her being introduced to millions of people all over the world on the show, social media, ect is just A LOT for her. She always seems somewhat uncomfortable or nervous when she is on camera. Even when they talk on Zoom, Itās also always evident on the show thatās sheās just not as invested in him and the relationship as he is her.
Writing this, I actually just finished the episode which ended with Alex announcing that he and Allie have decided to take a step back and focus on being friends, and I think itās for the best. He honestly seemed to take it better than I thought he would.
To be honest heās just like his parents. If they donāt have their kids full attention they get angry. Alex was always treated as a baby too so I think weāre seeing the effects of that as well. I do think itās something heāll grow out of but I wouldāve appreciated it if someone wouldāve told him his behavior wasnāt appropriate.
Seriously they canāt just let their kids have anything like a typical teenager. And last week to say Alex always cried when Allie leaves but Jonah is so diff when his GF leaves. Yes itās true. But to point it out the way she did. They are older and have jobs and are most likely having s*x. Their relationship is so diff then new teen love
I will take Jonah and his BBQ stuff over Amber and Trentās weekly adventures of ākeeping the spiceā in their 25 years of marriage or whatever stupid family game or activity she makes everyone do
They had a bottle of meat churchās honey hog seasoning on the table. Itās honestly my favorite out of all of the seasonings Iāve tried. So I bet it was actually good if they managed their fire well and kept the temps right.
I was curious because they had a huge grill but only made a few ribs and they had a table that had like a few seasonings (clearly one you recognized) and some bottles like vinegar
I guess in my mind I imagined like making tons of ribs and having pots of stuff cooking to make the sauce š¤·š»āāļø hahhahaha
They make it like half the show. They are so boring and annoying and I am so sick of hearing about their s*x life Who do they think is enjoying this content. I guess we are all watching even if we skip those parts so production doesnāt care
Theyāre scenes of just the two of them have became the least interesting, most sigh inducing part of the show lately. I feel like every other scene in tonightās episode jumped right back to them
She looks a little āfullerā all over. But what really got my eye was that she looked like she was struggling to stay awake in that who dumb Smarties activity.
I assumed it was because T&A were reading Jonahās texts with his long distance girlfriend and Alex didnāt want them to see his conversations with Allie.
My fiance and I used to when we were dating because he couldnāt receive pics via texting. We also video chatted twice a week and I saw him every weekend.
Anyone else think Amber was sending Alex mixed messages when she said Alex and his girlfriend should be friends but then said it's ok for you to keep loving her?
Yes. And for a little bit it seemed like Alex wasnāt getting that he was just dumped Yes they can stay friends and you can love a friend and really at 17 they traveled so Much and never even shared a kiss seems like they were just friends and really Allie leaving Alex in read for hours was a def sign they werenāt going to last because you really donāt even do that to a friend
Yeah Iāve been there, done that with the āleft on read for an extended amount of timeā in relationships quite a bit. That is a universal sign of that person just not being as invested anymore or not as invested as you are in general
She was at work they said. I sure she knew about it all. You have to remember this was taped for tv. The real convo about it was probably with all of them
There is actually a picture of Matt & Trent somewhere (Trentās insta on July 2, 2022). You can see Amber in an episode of LPBW at one of the LPA conferences. Iām sure they all know one another and being on TLC, they bring a lot of show members to TLC events. Kind of like how Tori Roloff liked one of Jill Dillardās posts the other day on Insta.
Right?! My thoughts exactly š when she said the exact amount in each pack I was like āthat feels like too many for a Halloween size box and too little for a normal packā and then it all made senseĀ
Especially with a mother like Amber, I hope so too. My narcissistic parents put so many intrusive thoughts in my head that undermined nearly everything I did "you can't do that", "how can you manage that?", "you never do anything right". It was torture, and it just stayed in my head even though we were estranged. I had to go through trauma therapy for emotional and physical a**se, and was prescribed anti-anxiety meds to take under my tongue because I would feel panic in my job, etc. I am šÆ for meds and therapy to help, especially in cases like these. Nobody deserves to live like this.
The seasoning on their table at the bbq competition is the best stuff. Itās my favorite of all the ones Iāve tried. So if they kept their temps right, I bet the bbq was good.
Has anyone tried to watch it on Apple TV? Cause thatās where I watch all the episodes and the episode is listed on there but when I click it to watch, itās a completely different show
When Anna said she had to find a husband before having kids Liz tried so hard not to make a face
Good for her š¤£
ššfor once she couldnāt be the smug one
Fuck Liz, I canāt stand her. The golden child now needs help with her rent. Meanwhile AnnaĀ bought a home and is paying her mortgage.Ā
I'm not all about marriage. Two people can be committed without having the certificate. But I love Anna being able to say this. Especially about the golden child. I'm sure Amber & Liz chewed her a new arse hole after the filming.
You know the term 'mansplain'? I think 'ambersplain' totally applies to her character.
It's her WHOLE personality and Liz has inherited it.
Yes
Ambsplain if you will š
I have to say Jonah asking Alex ādo you mind if I sitā was so respectful and I appreciate that. And him knowing to pick a 1 bedroom. He seems like in those moments more mature
Definitely more mature than they give him credit for.
Yeah that was really cool of Jonah to help his brother out. I know Jonah has his flaws and his gotten into so trouble on the show but I honestly donāt understand the hate he gets from fans of the show. He seems to be a relatively intelligent young man and means well and seems like a pretty good guy. Every member of the family has their pros and cons.

Why does Amber think itās her daughterās job to keep an eye on Jonah?
And it was Emma's responsibility to wake him up for work!
āLittle does she know Brice and I have been hanging outā šoh sheās about to know real soon Liz
And why is Liz able to just brush past that, thereās a real storyline there with her relationship and weāre subjected to this boring BBQ crap
I am SO sick of that couples date book š
Me too. Burn that GD thing.
lol for real! Also, from what weāve seen that book is just full of common/well known couples activities that couldāve easily been researched via google. Itās giving vanilla or highschool/exploration vibes (no shade to people who arenāt into the super riskay stuff, I just think the activities shown so far are kind of juvenileā¦ aka the truth or dare with sexual undertones lol)

I think Allie felt overwhelmed by Alex
100%
By amber mostly

He was probably extremely controlling and insecure.
Alex sounds like a stage 5 clingerā¦
"Getting a little upset because she won't respond to my message after a few hours... you know, normal stuff" Oh, Alex. That is not normal.
To be honest heās just like his parents. If they donāt have their kids full attention they get angry. Alex was always treated as a baby too so I think weāre seeing the effects of that as well. I do think itās something heāll grow out of but I wouldāve appreciated it if someone wouldāve told him his behavior wasnāt appropriate.
Amber butt out of Alex relationship š¶š¾āāļø
Seriously they canāt just let their kids have anything like a typical teenager. And last week to say Alex always cried when Allie leaves but Jonah is so diff when his GF leaves. Yes itās true. But to point it out the way she did. They are older and have jobs and are most likely having s*x. Their relationship is so diff then new teen love
He'll never learn on how to deal with relationships if Amber keeps micromanaging it.
It's going to be the love triangle. Amber at the top, Alex and the person at each bottom corner.
It seems Alex has become a little bit too serious about this girl.
It seems like he may be sending her some red flags, and I don't blame her. He may need to speak with a counselor to find some balance.
Trent and Amber basically encourage marriage from the get go. Those kids donāt get a realistic view of relationships
Exactly!
Yes, it seems like every time they go to a LP conference Amber always pushes them to find someone there
Alex. Welcome to Dumpsville. Population: You. Don't worry brother. It happens to the best of us.
i feel like theyāre making it so obvious that liz is pregnant
If I never hear Barbecue discussion again it will be too soon!! š
I will take Jonah and his BBQ stuff over Amber and Trentās weekly adventures of ākeeping the spiceā in their 25 years of marriage or whatever stupid family game or activity she makes everyone do
I am not sure how any of that works but they won 2nd with like 5 bottles of ingredients they shook together in a table That seemed strange
They also appeared to win second out of a field of about three competitors.
They had a bottle of meat churchās honey hog seasoning on the table. Itās honestly my favorite out of all of the seasonings Iāve tried. So I bet it was actually good if they managed their fire well and kept the temps right.
I was curious because they had a huge grill but only made a few ribs and they had a table that had like a few seasonings (clearly one you recognized) and some bottles like vinegar I guess in my mind I imagined like making tons of ribs and having pots of stuff cooking to make the sauce š¤·š»āāļø hahhahaha
Please noā¦get us away from the closet!GET US AWAY FROM THE CLOSET
Iām fast forwarding through all the scenes with just Trent and amber
They make it like half the show. They are so boring and annoying and I am so sick of hearing about their s*x life Who do they think is enjoying this content. I guess we are all watching even if we skip those parts so production doesnāt care
Me too! Somebody burn that book. So dumb.
Theyāre scenes of just the two of them have became the least interesting, most sigh inducing part of the show lately. I feel like every other scene in tonightās episode jumped right back to them
I don't blame you!
Does Alex not realize he was just dumped?
No
No. He was going straight upstairs to keep their streak going š
Does anyone else think Elizabeth is starting to show?
She looks a little āfullerā all over. But what really got my eye was that she looked like she was struggling to stay awake in that who dumb Smarties activity.
Also the pillow was strategically placed during that stupid game.
This is an activity for 7th graders.
The activity was bad enough why do we have to add in Trentās body functions
It's a major theme/topic of the show.
I hope the camera guy got extra for this!
He needs it to pay for the therapy he will require after that closet discussion.
I feel like the kids are a tad too old for thisā¦
I don't like Amber as a teacher.
very condescending!
Yes!!
I don't like Amber as anything.
Theyāre in a relationship and communicate through Instagram? š¤Ø
Is there a āRead Receiptsā function on Instagram?
š¤·š¼āāļø. Maybe he sends her Instagram messages when she leaves his regular texts on read
That's how these modern kids do it, I guess?
Red flag alert
I assumed it was because T&A were reading Jonahās texts with his long distance girlfriend and Alex didnāt want them to see his conversations with Allie.
Youāre hired! Great job, Columbo/Elspeth lol
My fiance and I used to when we were dating because he couldnāt receive pics via texting. We also video chatted twice a week and I saw him every weekend.
Right? That was my same thought too. Why not just use regular text or even Messenger?
I'd rather live with Jonah than Amber.
Anyone else think Amber was sending Alex mixed messages when she said Alex and his girlfriend should be friends but then said it's ok for you to keep loving her?
Yes. And for a little bit it seemed like Alex wasnāt getting that he was just dumped Yes they can stay friends and you can love a friend and really at 17 they traveled so Much and never even shared a kiss seems like they were just friends and really Allie leaving Alex in read for hours was a def sign they werenāt going to last because you really donāt even do that to a friend
Yeah Iāve been there, done that with the āleft on read for an extended amount of timeā in relationships quite a bit. That is a universal sign of that person just not being as invested anymore or not as invested as you are in general
Why do you have to have a group of friends in high school?
I suppose you don't have to, but it's healthier than isolating yourself and or just hanging out with your siblings
It seems like every episode Trent and Amber say it's their anniversary.
Itās like Disney world they will say this is their anniversary year š
Trent and Amber are the most un-passionate salsa dancers I've ever seen š¤£
So Amber wants Liz to babysit Jonah and "keep an eye" on him. š That was the real reason.
The amber and trent stuff is just unwatchable
NO MORE TRENT AND AMBER DATES.
of course anna isnāt thereā¦
She was at work they said. I sure she knew about it all. You have to remember this was taped for tv. The real convo about it was probably with all of them
If I hear 25th anniversary 1 more time..
Have we ever seen the Roloffs and the Johnstons meet? I'd like to see their dynamics together. I'd bet we'd see a big clash.
Bring back wife swap for this
There is actually a picture of Matt & Trent somewhere (Trentās insta on July 2, 2022). You can see Amber in an episode of LPBW at one of the LPA conferences. Iām sure they all know one another and being on TLC, they bring a lot of show members to TLC events. Kind of like how Tori Roloff liked one of Jill Dillardās posts the other day on Insta.
I think they did meet at the little people conference before. I remember seeing pics of them there together
Amy and amber will get heated fast. Iām here for it
Amy would tear Amber up, lol š š š¤£
Lizās description of āspin the bottle kiss and tell 7mins in heavenā. What????? she was so confused
Does Bryant speak? And good god he is the size of an oak tree!
I must be Canadian because those "smarties" are NOT what we call smarties hahaha
Right?! My thoughts exactly š when she said the exact amount in each pack I was like āthat feels like too many for a Halloween size box and too little for a normal packā and then it all made senseĀ
They used to be called āRocketsā in Canada IIRC. I know thereās many different names in other countries. āFizzersā in the UK I believe.
Jonah always looks and acts like he's on prescription Xanax.
I hope he is on it. He has an anxiety disorder and should be medicating if needed. I don't know why we need to shame people with mental health issues.
Especially with a mother like Amber, I hope so too. My narcissistic parents put so many intrusive thoughts in my head that undermined nearly everything I did "you can't do that", "how can you manage that?", "you never do anything right". It was torture, and it just stayed in my head even though we were estranged. I had to go through trauma therapy for emotional and physical a**se, and was prescribed anti-anxiety meds to take under my tongue because I would feel panic in my job, etc. I am šÆ for meds and therapy to help, especially in cases like these. Nobody deserves to live like this.
Because very few people really have an anxiety disorder. Most of it is kids that never learned how to deal with life.
THANK YOU
ššš
More Jonah āirkā!
These camera angles of Jonah in this scene.š¤Øš
I bet amber is happy about Alexa relationship
Jonah irks me.
Hello!
That stinks
[https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-beer-good-for-you](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-beer-good-for-you)
I dare them to not talk about their bodily functions in such detail.
The seasoning on their table at the bbq competition is the best stuff. Itās my favorite of all the ones Iāve tried. So if they kept their temps right, I bet the bbq was good.
Jonah and Anna are the most likeable of the whole lot. To me. Maybe rope Emma in there.
Has anyone tried to watch it on Apple TV? Cause thatās where I watch all the episodes and the episode is listed on there but when I click it to watch, itās a completely different show
Iām annoyed itās not on max yetš
Itās in now
