bella talks…THE SECRET LIVES OF MORMON WIVES FULL RECAP #momtok

5 4 3 2 1 it's time to countd down reality TV's most talked about moments with Amanda Bella for okay hello everybody Welcome Back to ballat talk TV this is Amanda Bella and this is a part two of a part of a two-part episode so you can tell I'm already like I already spent like over an hour talking on my part one and I'm just back here again I took a small break because of course you know Candy be acting up so here she is she wanted to be on camera for part two and we have a lot of mom talk stuff to get into so I knew that I needed to dedicate an a whole episode to itself on this I wasn't planning to care this much so to be honest I didn't really have a guest planned um I have a lot of busy stuff coming up I actually have an event tonight too for for yoga that I still teach and still do so um I'm kind of getting this done and waiting a small sidebar um I was just posting about how I love chopped salads strawberry summer salad not super close to me it takes me a little while to get there but like I will go out of my way to go get this salad and it's obviously not cheap either it's like a $17 salad well today I'm so busy I like never do this I'm like I'm going to get Uber Eats okay granted I did also get like a can of diet soda and a fudge brownie but it was $44 so yeah that's just how dedicated I am to making sure that I get this entire episode out today because of everything that's coming up and i' I'm like you know everyone is right now dropping bonus episodes doing full episodes all the interviews from all the girls are out from Mom T and it's a lot you know I'm like I don't want to be contributing but like I also feel like this is a moment in time and I didn't want to pile on and I also didn't want my content just to be like lost in the sauce of so many different podcasts out there talking about this but like I said it's fresh in my memory I watched it over the weekend even though I was in Detroit I watched it in the airport I watched it in the hotel I watched it before bed and when I got home Monday night I finished it which I had like episodes 5 through eight left and I finished it and then I rewatched the whole thing yesterday so it's it's deep it's ingrained I think I know pretty much what has been going on for the most part out in Salt Lake City but you know I'm sure with every rewatch you start to notice things maybe you didn't notice before and um there were a couple parts that I had missed I think I'm not even sure like maybe I had just like drifted off during some of the scenes but some of the scenes I had to rewatch again and I like definitely did pick up on new things so you guys know I usually just go off of Vibes but I actually took six pages of notes and I'm going to kind of talk about like all the things I guess that I just felt called to write down I'm not really sure I can call this like a recap because I'm not going to be breaking down every single scene and talking about every single thing that has happened so you're still going to need to watch the show but let's get into it let's talk about these about these moms because I'm fascinated again as a childless woman there could not be couldn't there you know the quote like it could not be me like it could not be more could not not be me more than these girls let's get into it so we all know Taylor I'm not going to spend too much time because I feel you guys are probably like we [ __ ] know by now who Taylor is so we have Taylor we have Whitney with the Bob we have Macy who is now learning that Macy is a Pisces it's making sense you guys I've learned that Pisces from what I understand I don't even have I don't have a ton of Pisces friends I guess I have a few I have a few that I do enjoy but Pisces are all about going with the flow wanting everybody to get along like kind of acting as like The Peacemaker like love that love that for Macy she's totally that person um Michaela who we don't get to know quite as well but I think that they're hopefully saving a lot of these Back stories for season two she's the one that has you know she's the one that doesn't have makeup on as much because she has eczema and as an autoimmune girly dealing with rosacea you guys will notice most of the time like my skin looks insane but I don't let that from me from um I don't keep that from me from doing video or whatever putting my face out there because whatever what are you going to do like it flares up it goes through things I have certain triggers I have good days and bad days and I just try to live my life and not let whether or not I'm having good skin like affect me from doing what I want to do so I respect Michaela and then we have Demi who seems to be the fan favorite she's married to Brett which is Angie Harrington friend of Salt Lake City Housewives ex-husband we will get more into the husbands later we have Lila who is she's a sneak she's like a she is I called Michaela the sniper from the side because she again wasn't that involved on the show but on social media she's been getting Scrappy but I really like ilila put it that way I really she's the youngest and she's one of the coolest we have Jesse who is Messy Jesse she is my hair Queen if I lived in Utah I would have no shame going to Jesse and getting my hair done which is hard to say because I'm an Angie K fan so I want to know do Angie K and Jesse have a rivalry and then we have Jen Jen Affleck which I don't even want to use that last name but Jen our sweet sweet Jen so that is the main cast that is everybody as far as we know from the tailor of it all she was the only one swinging my personal Theory because I don't really get too much into The Swinging of it all because I wasn't involved when it really happened of course I heard about it but I didn't know our care cuz I wasn't on Tik Tok and then when I found out that they were doing the show of course I had a little bit more of an interest and then beyond that I didn't really know much about it and then the I believe it was August 26th they announced the show that was only okay today is September 12 for three weeks we even knew the show was coming to Hulu and then it gave us three weeks to get hyped they were doing the promo the interviews everything so here we are September 12th and I mean a lot has happened this show has totally taken the nation by storm it premiered Friday it is only Thursday it's been six days I feel like I've heard nothing about it thought about nothing else talked about nothing else cared about nothing else for six days so it's good to like get this all out of my system this is why I have this but okay so I love this show because again if you guys don't know I studied psychology and religion in my undergrad so I'm extremely fascinated with how religion affects our culture and different cultures and how different people deal with it and different people's beliefs and why they believe what they believe and getting to the meat and potatoes why people just choose to think that the way that they do understanding people I'm very passionate about it so that's why I love reality TV and I love this show because of the Mormonism of it all and I really like how they broke the episode chapters the show notes into episode one The Book of episode two the book of so they're all different books so the first episode is called the book of Taylor and it's it's this episode is clearly like what they call a Sizzle reel or whatever like a pilot that was shoot that was shot to shop around to get people to care into you know investing in the show so they do they do this you know Sizzle reel or whatever they do this pilot and it's really all about Taylor because Taylor was the main reason why there were even cameras being called to be out there in the first place she and she has been very self-aware about this she just made a Tik Tok two days ago that was like when you expose all of your toxicity online or on TV but at least you get your friends a TV show and she's like standing there watching herself get arrested it's like yep she really they really give it to us all and I was just talking about this on my Instagram about how these younger girls they have a different thirstiness because they don't have any previous success to Coast off of unlike these ogs unlike these people that we think we need these housewives that were like oh my God we need them bring them back the show can't work without them keep them on like what we're going to have no story line without them it's like no we need young women that are no buies that are willing to come on that have real drama that have authentic friendships that have real storylines not just like manufactured BS it's it's when our Housewives shows get to be like the Kardashians where like everything is like a gimmick everything is like a screen like a scripted scene everything is just manufactured and we want authenticity so the reason why this show is so good it's very authentic these girls are ranging from ages 22 to 31 at the time of filming so now they're all one year older since then the oldest is Jesse she was 31 at filming she's 32 now I mean I did look up a lot of the girls' birthdays some of them are hard to find um and then you never know what's true so so yeah all of the girls they're girly Taylor is the most out of all of them who is the most controversial she is really you know a hot mess and she gets arrested she's soft swinging her ex again we're going to get into like I want to talk about the husbands but we're kind of just talking about the first episode now so they really get into a little bit of the history of being a Mormon on the show which is again a big reason why I liked this so they go over the rules right no smoking no drinking no doing drugs no sex before marriage No gambling no polygamy which a lot of people thought was part of this no the church outruled polygamy back in like 1890 I mean it's only been like aund and 30 years but they actually originally thought they thought the word from Joseph Smith from the Mormon Book of Mormon from the scriptures they thought that he said marry as many women as you can because I want you to have so many children like we've got to have tons of Mormon babies like get out there and start [ __ ] once you're married so they were assuming like Joseph Smith was saying okay this means that we can just marry as many women as we need to in order to have as many children because then we're fulfilling this word Okay so so shows you how the texts are to be interpreted and how they can be subjective they you know they there's all these rules and then part of being a Mormon is finding creative ways to get around the rules a lot of like Catholicism a lot of like other religions too it's like okay well this is the literal word but like it doesn't say I can't do this and that is like a big trick of religion and stuff and a big part of why um why it you know religion is really just your own journey and being spiritual and believing in whatever you believe is your own Journey you can believe whatever rules you want just don't um hate on others but that is kind of part of it so judging is a big part of it which is judging is a big part of being a Mormon so the first book the first book of tailor they're going over the Mormon rules they also talk about how you can only have one piercing so that's interesting I wonder if um they chose to do that because again to modernize sometimes they're doing that to like get younger people to still stay active members of the church so they're supposedly starting to do that with like lgbtq and stuff now where they're a little more accepting also of like other races yes wow can you believe it a time where people are accepting other races it's crazy so a lot of people like I said they're finding different ways to get around these rules so in the text again it doesn't it says specifically I believe you're not supposed to have hot beverages and that's why they are not allowed to have coffee and tea but then there's iced coffee and iced tea that's actually not the problem in the Bible or in the scripture from Joseph Smith it just says that they're not supposed to have the hot beverages and then they're like okay well we'll just make them iced and then they're like okay what about caffeine and they're like well it doesn't really say no caffeine and so they're like okay let's have soda and so they have these cold sodas at 8 a.m. every day and I'm obsessed with the soda culture I'm going to post a whole video about it I took a reel of the girls orders I'll post that up but the number one thing out of all of these things you know no tattoos no per all this stuff is not having sex before marriage almost all of the girls have had sex before marriage so let's go down the list we have Taylor so Taylor says that her parents and her church and everybody pressured her and her boyfriend Tate Paul at the time ex-husband now to get married because they were having sex before marriage so she didn't get pregnant before marriage but they were having sex before marriage their family found out Leanne found out we'll get to Leanne who is Taylor's mom and and so supposedly you know you know a little sidebar here so I saw a Tik Tok today of the trauma of all the girls and it's like this candy trauma video and what they do is they come on video they say their biggest trauma and then they say what candy they brought in a port in a bowl and they all put their candies in a bowl together so they are doing this Tik Tock and Taylor said says that when she met her biological dad when she was four he just said like what up kid and I can't tell if she's joking cuz she does a lot of these Tik toks one of her biggest Tik toks she said was when she faked being a grandma and being 50 years old and telling and like holding her baby saying it was her her grandchild so you know she can do some of these like things for likes and stuff so I'm not sure if that's like actually true about her biological dad whoever Leanne's husband is now if that's not her real dad he looks exactly like Justin Rose and it's weird like what's going out on out in Utah all the men's they kind of look the same okay Taylor obviously had sex before marriage then we' have Michaela she was 16 when she had sex before marriage and she got pregnant and she's still married to her baby daddy named jaay but he was 21 and they are six years apart they've been married for six years and that actually at the time of the law that would have been Contender cont considered statutory rape because you can't give consent at that age in Utah and um it still has to be within a five-year window and all of these rules so he basically broke the law no one's talking about it they just skipped right over that in season one but we will see if that comes up a lot more in the next season I love that they're like saving nuggets then we have Macy now Macy says she also had sex she also says that she smoked weed and drank alcohol before you know before she was married and so she actually had sex and then she got pregnant and she got pregnant by this guy named Eric who then died two weeks later after the baby was born or two weeks after finding out that she was pregnant something like that so her baby daddy died and then obviously she was healing she was on a healing Journey while she was pregnant or raising this child and she met Jacob who is her now husband who she now has another baby with so we'll get more into the families later but they had sex before marriage also then we have Jen who I was really shocked that she admitted that she had sex before marriage because she is one of the most devout of the group she wears her garments every day and if you guys don't know what garments are they basically just look like silky grandma like pajamas that you wear like underneath your regular clothing to remind you that you are abstaining and that you are committed to somebody I would love to wear I would love a world love that I would love to put my husband in some garments not that he like needs them but it's just like yeah you should be thinking about me all day everybody should be I guess that's what rain Des are for so then yeah I was really surprised that Jen admitted that now Jen said that she met Zach Zach when she was 18 it's clear that she lost her virginity to him they went on to get married and then had their children afterwards so they did things pretty by the book except for the fact that they broke you know before marriage then we have ilila who ilila also admits that she also got pregnant it was a shotgun wedding with her her ex now husband that she's divorced at 22 which we'll get into that later in the season but she also had pregnant and then Jesse never says whether or not she did not have sex before marriage but it's Jesse not to judge she's the least devout and I'm just assuming that she did not wait till marriage so I believe the only person who did wait for marriage is Whitney which she says it was like a comedy slh horror movie I believe it cuz her husband is gay so anyways let's you know so those are just kind of going over like the girls and the rules that they've been breaking and like kind of where we're meeting them in this first episode um okay so let's see here scroll okay so another thing is who's divorced so a couple of the girls were actually married and divorced before there with their current Partners baby daddies so Demi she was married and had her daughter with her ex now husband I was doing a deep dive on Demi she has had so much work done you guys like At first I was like damn she is so cute and natural I am blind she's had so much work done go look at her old Instagram and then we have Jesse again we know how much work Jesse's had done I only have to say it but Jesse was also married and divorced now there was some controversy controversy in rumors the rumors about Jesse was that she actually cheated on her husband with her current husband while she was pregnant with her ex-husband's baby but she says it's not true she said that she was already separated and going through the the process of getting divorced while she was pregnant from her ex when she started dating her new current husband that she's married with that she has another child with lots of Blended families then we have Lea who we just talked about is married and divorce at 22 so I think those are the only girls that were or then obviously Taylor no we talked about Taylor oh yeah no Taylor was married to Tate Paul okay yeah I can't remember did I talk about everybody I think so I think those were all of the divorces okay so more on the rule breaking who drinks like who has drink or who actively drinks so Taylor is someone who has drank obviously we saw the body cam footage of her wasted in that first episode but then she gets pregnant so she has been sober because she's been pregnant now I saw her do a funny Tik Tok I think when the baby was two days old and she was like okay I've been sober for two days it's like okay give it time now she is obviously with Dakota who's in recovery I'm wondering if they are going to go on a recovery journey together now if she's going to stay sober we're not sure I don't I I don't know I don't follow her on Tik Tok yet so we'll see and then okay so then we have Jesse Jesse obviously drinks so she's drinking on the show she's drinking taking shots with her husband in the hot tub at Zach's graduation party and then she is also drinking wine at Lea's divorce party so and then I think she was also drinking in Vegas so Jesse drinks throughout the season then we have Demi who Demi I don't actually know if she drank on camera because she didn't let everybody know like Jesse did Jesse is the open book this girl I'm obsessed with her and um but Demi you know admits to drinking before she tells a story about her her husband both being wasted and being at some of the swinger parties so they drink and then Jen has tried alcohol so she does not currently drink alcohol but when she was not you know as devout she did dabble so it's very interesting who has been breaking the rules so that's just kind of some of them some of them have tattoos Leila has a very tiny literal tattoo that is the size of a Pinda on her ankle so she's tatted and Whitney has Daddy tattooed on her lip which I found very controversial so Whitney says she's never tried alcohol but when her and Connor move into their house their realtor gives them a bottle of champagne and they try it for the first time and Whitney's rinsing her mouth out in the sink afterwards she she thinks it's so disgusting so I guess I kind of believe her lots of um Welches sparkling hard cider floating in all the scenes you'll see and lot of Soder so yeah okay so the names of the kids let's run down the names of the kids we got some we got some good celebrity names in here you guys know I love a celebrity name I got to check on my phone because I look make sure my $44 salad's not getting five minutes okay I have to pause at that point let's try to get through these kids' names all right we have Indie and ocean Indie and ocean those two children belong to Taylor Frankie Paul and Tate Paul her ex-husband her now baby daddy Dakota their baby that they just had on the show his name is ever true probably the best name I've ever heard ever true ever true Mortenson all right Indie ocean and ever true those are Taylor's kids harlo and Hudson any guesses those are Macy and Jacob's kids now again Macy had harlo the daughter I believe with Eric who died in the car accident right after they were pregnant then we have Liam and Sedona those are Whitney's kids Whitney and Conor Liam is obviously the boy Sedona Sue is the girl I think Sedona Su is a really cute name um they're having a new baby coming soon the gender is going to be a surprise at Birth and we'll have to wait for the name I'm counting on you Whitney we need something crazy girl all right Leila Leila's two boys with her ex clay Oliver and Max cute classic then we have Demi's daughter with her ex-husband her name is ma cute I'm into it I wonder if it's a family name I like the name Demi like you don't hear that too much it's like the perfect name it's just enough where you hear it where you don't get sick of it then we have Jagger Payton and Joie those are Jess's kids Jesse and Jordan her husband again remember though the first baby which I believe is Jagger Jagger was born with Jesse's first husband we don't talk about him very much it's a lot of Mystery around that and we're saving that for season two hopefully then we have Nora and Luca those are Jen and Zach's kids they're really cute Zach looks inbred but Jen is the beautiful and those kids are really cute the eyes are so precious they're like little Pixar kids and then we have Beckham Haven and Tommy which I feel like is so Random like must be a family name beam Haven and Tommy Tommy one these things is not like the other but those are Michaela and Jay's kids um yeah those are all the names for all the children very interesting my $44 salad is rolling up so we're going to take a break here but I will be back after this and we will continue on on this recap hello welcome back you guys okay got my salad took a bite of my brownie it's delicious Okay so we got through the baby names and let's see okay so while we are discussing families we have to talk about Taylor's mother Leanne love a strong minded and strong opinioned Leanne but slightly triggering so we first meet Taylor's mom lean like right in the very first episode like she comes in hot she has no problem expressing you know that she's a little disra that that Taylor's a little disgraced right like she's like you've been doing some dumb stuff you've been doing some bad things and the mother is aware and what I've come to find out is that Taylor tells her mom like willingly and I'm not sure like why or what relationship or you know we it's only season one but I'm hoping that we see more of Leanne and Taylor because I need to know more about like their Dynamic what happened with Taylor's father and just what's going on there because there's a lot I feel like to unpack so yeah leam now Taylor like I said Taylor tells her mom everything and Taylor also Al admits that her mom is a wackadoodle she's like my mom is a little insane she she's like you guys are going to meet my mom and she is going to blow your socks off and she was not wrong Leanne um throughout the episodes we'll be talking about her but just had to introduce her as a main character because she's insane and just like the amount of pregnancy that is going on Utah is crazy I just it's just blowing my mind because even my friends now like as I'm approaching 40 like some of my a lot of my friends still don't have kids like I'm like we're just all part of this like specific part of Millennials that never had kids because we took longer to get jobs which made us took us longer to get married because we didn't feel like we could date until we like had jobs it's just different than Utah like you don't really need any of those things you don't need to have a career you don't need to support yourself you just need to get married so it's just a whole different culture going on out there so I've been seeing culture all the time lately culture is like one of my buzzwords right now so okay and then in this first episode also we are meeting Whitney of course we're meeting all the girls and it's like somebody pointed this out too like Whitney's moving back from Hawaii but they're in a car so how does she have all this stuff with them just boxes and suitcases and stuff I guess of certain things they needed to fly with cuz they're driving this car but they're like okay we just got back from Hawaii it's they just got off a plane so is it a rental car was this scene just shot and picked up for the show were they really like there's just a lot of mystery around Whitney living in Hawaii for two months moving so much stuff there that they would have to move back when it's only been eight weeks it's just a lot it basically sounds like they went on an extended vacation like they spent summer vacation there which I'm not sure what Connor does I can't remember I'm sure it's insignificant we meet Whitney they're driving it's a lot um it's a lot to see them get into the house and kind of just like Whitney's overall attitude does seem pretty judgy and very stereotypical like higher holier than thou Christianity so she of course is like one of the most devout so it's just always this constant line of like the judger and the more almost like insecure you are the more religious you are it's like a flowchart that goes up at the same time so yeah it's a lot and then okay so that's basically episode one like I said this isn't really a Rec recap but I just kind of want to go through what's going on in the episodes um at the end of episode one Taylor's like they kind of Flash Forward and they give us a preview of the whole season and there's this quote of Taylor being like okay did I hurt your life or did I help your life because she's you know people are blaming her for the Scandal but then also there would be no show without her there would be nothing without her you know show some respect yeah Taylor just knows that she's kind of like needed for the show and then I guess that there were rumors that she was not going to come back and do the season and that's maybe why filming took so long to pick up between episodes one and two was that Taylor did not want to come back and was really like not wanting to do it and they basically were like okay well if we're not going to do it without you the show will just like not exist I mean to come back and film an entire season after that and having girls coming for you I would be Ling in their faces Ling all over the place so very funny okay so episode two is called the book of belonging and I think it gets a little bit more into these dynamics of these friendships and whether you're in or you are out so they start to address all the rumors right all the rumors have been addressed between episode one and episode two between all of the Dakota stuff all of the Connor rumors about Whitney and Connor moving the gayness the Tinder the grinder all that stuff there's rumors about Lila and her divorce and why that happened there's rumors about Jesse her divorce and why that happened there's rumors about why Demi is dating an older man and they've both been divorced before you know there's rumors about all of the ladies like everybody's bringing something we talked already about the rumors about Michaela and her husband and him being older and it being a little bit rapy so there's there's every woman on this show has been chaos by production is just gold and is a Golden Goose and is going to be laying golden eggs and we need to have all every egg will be a new season so so yeah episode two we're starting getting into the mix now this is the you know what we realize about production of course is they have to have things for these women to do like again they aren't just sitting around in their sweatpants filming Tik toks all day like they're having parties they're having events they're throwing things in production I'm sure came in and was like okay girls like this is how we do this I don't know if if there's a budget or what but I'm I'm sure you know I mean these girls do make their own money so that's one thing about them is that they could a afford to throw themselves a party especially when there's no alcohol at them you know that's like the most expensive thing so they each have a party Taylor's the first one to get to have a party she has her baby shower for her and Dakota's um upcoming shower so now we start to meet Dakota more and we never see Taylor's ex-husband on the show we also are not going to see I think she said their son or something like maybe one of the kids will be on there but not the other yeah something about that but Tate is his name Tate Paul he will not be I guess featured he was part of the swinging and he apparently was like into it so that is what I've heard so anyways Dakota Dakota is Taylor's new boyfriend now and he is insufferable like from the second this guy gets on camera it is giving if Scott dis and like Spencer PR and like I don't know I can't even come up like who's a house husband that's really thirsty like John Fooda like if they all got on camera at the same time that are like they like camera the red light God I'm here like let's talk let's do this it's like my God like it's a lot and to find out that he is a recovering fental addict is really hard also now he's 31 now he says he started his addiction when he was 17 so I mean that is a half a life ago for him I don't know how long he's been sober I can't remember a couple of years two years one year maybe something like that he does say his addiction is life or death for him so I appreciate that he's taking it seriously now we didn't even really talk about the body cam footage again you guys know what happened I'm sure you've seen it like I'm just trying to like get through these episodes but Taylor and Dakota sit down for that first time and it gave me chills it gave me the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up this guy just like loves being on camera way too much for me but with that being said Taylor is certifiably toxic like I do believe that she is the problem and that he's actually I can't believe it he actually I think is just like mentally ill on his own like addiction and and probably like needing to feel validated needing to feel good enough needing to feel worthy like that's kind of just like self-love stuff that he's struggling with but Taylor is toxic with a capital T like she really doing the lindzy hubard abandonment storyline of like I'm going to push them to see how much they can take and then if they leave then find like see it wasn't meant to be and I've seen this Playbook before so I wish her the best on on this relationship now and okay so w Taylor has the baby shower and everybody comes from Mom talk except for Whitney and this is very controversial to everybody Whitney this is Whitney's first time you know doing this um and kind of I guess drawing a Line in the Sand basically like she's the first one to throw stones she's the first one to throw hands she's starting [ __ ] and Leanne is not having it where Taylor's mom is not having it of course she's like I'm going to call her and find out so I think of course production is probably like Leanne you should call her I don't know if lean's like this crazy to do this on her own I wonder somebody might be encouraging her to do these things and if she is just doing this on her own then she is diabolical but she calls Whitney on speaker phone and is like why didn't you come to my daughter's baby shower and Whitney was like I think that's a conversation for me and her to have not us you weird old lady and doesn't even answer her which was actually kind of funny so she was so Leanne zero Whitney one on that one that was kind of funny but that's kind of how the second episode ends so then we start the third episode called The Book of Saints and Sinners and this is dealing with the Fallout from Whitney not coming to the baby shower and all the girls are together talking and this is also when we get introduced to Zach who is Jen Affleck again Zach Affleck I'm sure you guys have all been hearing you all know this guy by now this is where we meet him and this is where we get to know like all of the drums so we basically start to learn that Zach is the root of all evil here so episode three starts with Jen getting to plan a graduation party for Zach graduating from bringham Young University BYU the famous Mormon University I have questions one he's 27 why is he just now graduating I was 21 just turning 22 and I graduated from college so I'm confused about that I know they go on missions that's usually only for a year so we've got lots of years there that are missing you guys so what I need answers number two we go on to find out that Zach get accepted to medical school now in this first scene Jen is saying Zack just graduated and got accepted to his number one medical school in New York so the fact that he already graduated and he's already accepted I mean I believe it it's it's a plausible timeline it's just like it's a lot we never hear the name of the medical school medical schools aren't private Med it's why not why not is what I would like to know we also go on to find out that Zach's parents or Z dad is a surgeon his grandfather was a surgeon there's a lot of pressure for him to continue the bloodline of the surgeons so there's a lot of deep rooted stuff here now they have this graduation party planned and all the drama starts to lead back to him because what starts off with this graduation party is that everybody comes the whole cast is invited to come to this first filming thing first filming event at Zach's house for his graduation party Jesse and Jordan bring a little flask with some vodka in it and some Mountain Dew which triggered me right back to my freshman year at Western Michigan University on campus drinking Mountain Dew out of a two ler with a fifth of vodka grape or strawberry flavored or something in a basement somewhere like that was diet or Mountain de Diet Mountain Dew in vodka used to hit for me seeing them drink that was really funny now this was pretty innocent nobody was wasted it was literally like I think producers of course again was like we got to like have some drama and was like I'll [ __ ] do it like me and my husband like we drink like we'll bring some alcohol to this party so they do it and after this nothing happens on camera like Jen is visibly upset and uncomfortable that they are doing this but Zach's not like calling anybody out or saying anything or doing anything he's going with the flow he's he's being cool for the most part because you know that he plays it cool and then when he gets home behind closed doors he's demon so they have this also the amount of soda again being consumed makes me envious I love it I love the soda I'm having a Diet Coke which is not my typical um soda but that's what chopped gave me with my salad so okay so why is again why is Zach just graduating what school is he going to because then Jen posted a video one month ago that said she's so proud of Zach going to medical school but it's all pictures and videos from his BYU graduation there's no pictures of him him on any campus there's no pictures of them visiting or um there's no pictures of them moving in anywhere it's very confusing now there are rumors I think she was on Nick vel's podcast saying that he's actually attending school in you or in Arizona but it is a part of the New York Medical School that is still unnamed that we don't know what school it is it's giving like Sunrise University or what I'm sorry you guys and this is like no shade I actually feel bad even saying this but like what is that University online like snhu or the ones that are like the online universities I don't know where he's going to medical school it's very confusing so or what kind of school he got into or what kind of medical or what kind of surgeon he's going to be like they're saying there's rumors of it being an orthopedic school which would be a foot surgeon I'm just not sure okay so I'm very up in arms about the Jenna and the Zach of it all now we know that he gets home and he tells Jen off camera you cannot be friends with these people I don't even want you filming with them and then she probably compromises and says okay what girls are you willing to allow me to film with because then all of a sudden Jen is like okay in the future now for this next event that I'm having the baby blessing for their new baby for Zach and Jen's new son Luca is that only some of the girls get to come and they're the most devout ones it's Macy Whitney and Jen and um is that it Macy and Whitney are the only ones that came and Michaela which I always find interesting that she's very devout too so yeah pretty much drama all starts because of Z graduation party because if they had not brought the alcohol there then Zach wouldn't have had a problem with them filming the baby blessing Al together and then a lot of this St versus Cinder stuff would not have started except for of course Whitney was still involved in a lot of the drama so we still have her stuff but a lot of this Zach stuff started there now we move on from this party Demi has a galentine's day party I love how all of the girls get to throw a party at some point during the season it's very cute so Demi has a Val a galentine's day party and jenry iterates to everybody at the party that Zach's not going to allow certain people to come to the party she blames it on them not being that close blah blah blah I really have to wonder what would have happened to the show if they all did go to the baby blessing and that Rift was never caused but we will never know now Fruity Pebbles ruined me you guys I've seen a few different things online that are different explanations some I believe more than others either way they're all gross and I am all for sexual Liberation but I love Fruity Pebbles and I can't I don't know it's ruined for me so yeah I really really really turned on Whitney in this episode when she decided to use this inside joke this inside story that was told off camera not on the show against de like Dei says in that moment the gloves are off it is war and you will see for the next of the rest of the season that Demi really does come for Whitney and and vice versa so that was episode three episode four is called the book of Truth and you know this is our first trip this is our first chaos trip so they go to Park City which is funny because it's literally the next door City so usually usually at least they drive two to three hours out of town but I think with Taylor being pregnant all these things like they're like okay let's just go to down the street to Park City so they go to Park City they get this like schol Penthouse the ladies are excited which is fun to see these girls like being so excited about doing cast trips and stuff it's refreshing so they go they go on this trip and um as soon as they get there Demi explains AKA The Producers explain we're going to do a truth box everybody's going to anonymously submit things because by now they're thinking okay we've been filming for a couple of weeks and like Whitney's already quit filming because she didn't go to the baby shower and we're losing girls left and right girls are just talking behind their backs they're not seeing things to each other's faces so production has to step in and they're like what can we do to get these girls to confront each other on camera because we're doing a lot of individual scenes here we're doing a lot of two-on ones but we're not getting to the meet here the girls are not confronting each other so there you have the brilliant idea we're going to do the anonymous truth box all the girls submit questions which I'm sure again all the questions are from production and the very first question well not the very first one there's some funny ones in the beginning some sexual ones blah blah blah if you were a girl who would or if you could hook up with any girl if you could have hook up with anyone's husbands that kind of stuff but then they pulled the card and it says Taylor and Whitney Whitney are you just jealous of Taylor's clout and Whitney goes on to explain that the reason why she didn't go to the baby shower is not because she's jealous of Taylor's clout but that she's having a hard time dealing with the fact that Taylor caused this huge Scandal blew up everyone's lives and then was forgiven so easily and people just got got right over it when Whitney did this RSV dancing video of her in the hospital and basically she's still getting every single day getting death threats so she she did say that so I have to believe the girl but she's like this is why you know I'm still getting death threats over here and Taylor's [ __ ] moving on to somebody else already and she's back filming and everything's around her Whitney's pissed she's like okay I it's clear that she is jealous but she's like no I'm just sad that I didn't get the same sympathy or whatever so they're starting to confront each other a little bit but then this starts a war like this start truly a scene that will go down like in reality TV history so once we bring up the RSV video then Taylor gets the question too Taylor would you leave Dakota if you found out Dakota cheated on you in the beginning of you guys starting to see each other because he said he only kissed a girl there's rumors he actually Eed this girl we don't really know the truth we're still on a cliffhanger then we have another question that says well Demi said that Jen was acting too Mormon so if you're going to call me out I'm going to start calling everybody else out on what they're seeing behind each other's backs so then Demi has to start to defend herself about what she was saying about Jen being too Mormon which Jen does seem to be a little bit too Mormon then Whitney in this all these batches that Whitney's telling everybody they're like wait how did you hear I said that how did you hear I said that how did you hear I said that she's like all came back from Whitney Whitney's running her mouth so they start doing produce their flashbacks of what you telling everybody stuff and getting messy and so now Jen starts to call out Demi and it's like Crossfire like she's like well you did this you called Taylor white trash and then she's like well I only call Taylor white trash because she's sleeping tried to sleep with my man Brett Angie Harrington's ex she trying to swing with him and then she's like well I only was trying to do that cuz you were taking your sh shirt off in front of my man it just starts a war and it was really interesting to see how they all just start calling each other out it's exactly what production wanted I mean I imagine this scene must have went on for like 5 hours they're so exhausted when it's over they all just like go and pass out they wake up the next morning they're already doing Tik toks together again it's kind of iconic and it really shows like what this show needed what reality TV needs again we don't need these deep feuds we don't need these year-long feuds we don't need these things going against people's like families and things being like so serious fight get over it make up fight get it out bring up your point fight fight runs fight it's like it's okay to fight and get over it and move on we cannot be doing the same fights for years okay off my box about that so then finally production is like okay guys this is great and everything like we're getting stuff out but like we we need oneon-one scenes of you guys like really getting some resolution so Whitney and Taylor are called upon the hot seeds and they are production is like it's time for you guys to go sit down and like really figure out what your issue is and from the second they sit down like I start to see Taylor in a different light like she really is like I don't think she thought that they were besties but she really I think was blindsided by the fact that Whitney has been like talking so much [ __ ] about her and like blames her for so much because right away Taylor is like so what is the deal like please just tell me and Whitney is so defensive she starts doubling down she keeps being like I don't know what if R said to offend you but like I would say it again and all this stuff and it it's just not getting anywhere because Taylor's really trying to be listen I'm pregnant I want to move on I think we have the future of mom talk to worry about like we have got to get to the problem you know the root of our problems so that we can move forward and at least be like frenemies and or like co-workers and it's just not happening Whitney's not having it she was hired on to be the villain and so once the other girls can hear them like they're all sitting down there this place isn't that big it is like a twostory hotel room but like you know with an open like a lofty upstairs where the girls are sitting so they can hear what they're saying and they're like oh my God Whitney's like [ __ ] blowing it like she's doubling down she's not saying she's not admitting anything and de is just like I've had enough of this so she invites herself to the party and she goes up there and she butts right in there and honestly it's iconic she starts calling her out right away she's like Whitney you lying you said this I can hear you this is not good Whitney just keeps going on and on being like I don't think I need to explain myself because we're not friends and she's not getting that you were on a television show babe these are not your co-workers like you do have to explain yourself you do have to engage like stop disengaging you can't be Meredith okay you have to engage you have to you're not housewife status yet and Whitney just says that Taylor's mad or that or Whitney says that she is mad that Taylor is still the queen bee after the Scandal like you know she kind of admits off camera like in her confessional like yeah I'm mad but she won't say it to their face which is the problem which is the problem production's having which is why they're trolling her they're like why are you sitting in your confessionals talking [ __ ] admitting to things and then when we put you in a scene with people you don't say anything we need you to work sister so then they find out another Little Nugget that comes out is that demy and Whitney did ketamine together I mean a lot of people are shocked by this that this would be allowed by the church it's medical I have to say ketamine a lot of people don't realize you get your wisdom teeth pulled there's ketamine in that like you're getting ketamine in surgery and you don't know it doesn't mean you're like tripping so them doing medical ketamine I understand for therapy they weren't like getting effed up I don't believe I don't believe they did love the laughing gas at the Botox appointment I didn't talk about that very much but I mean it's clear that SE girls like I said like to find loopholes and what they're allowed to do can't smoke weed but I can definitely get cemine therapy doesn't say that in the Bible so Taylor was genuinely blindsided by all of this you know by Whitney not coming to the baby shower by all this drama being surrounded by her and she's just trying to explain to her like yo I understand but like I did invite you to a very first group event filming at my baby shower and like you not coming it was just weird and awkward for everybody like just explain it and she won't do it and again that's why Demi starts to get in there and starts to like call things out and she talks about how Whitney admitted to her when they did the ketamine that she said I just did that video for sympathy the RSV dancing video she admits it was just for sympathy instead of that her whole defense has been like no I didn't know like I just was like in a fog in the hospital and they didn't realize it was coming off that way but like she actually intentionally did that for sympathy and likes so people are pretty grossed up by that using your children for sympathy and likes is not it's weird I really it's like when Sheena used summer moon to be like oh she she got blocked by Tom sand ofal it's like don't bring her into this GH so many people feel bad for you in your weird sandall relationship so okay so basically the fight goes on and on and on the girls start to dispers Whitney go sits in a closet and starts crying and then I love that part that they that they're like the minion Fest Dem says minion Fest that was one of my favorite parts of that episode Jesse says that Whitney uses people and throws them away as soon as she's done with them and then Whitney starts to cry on the bed and she's like really having one of those like narcissistic breakdowns where she realizes she lost a fight she's like I feel like such a [ __ ] like she obviously quits the show after this it's like she could not handle the fact that she lost a fight like one argument so she was probably not made for this but also totally made for this she she's now the girls are in their confessionals kind of going over this and everyone is like Whitney is a victim of her own chaos like they see it they're seeing the light they're like she causes things and then she's the victim and Macy's like well she has a very interesting way of handling things in life like she runs instead of resolving so the girls are totally like seeing Whitney's emmo here it's not looking good for Whitney now production somehow gets them all to get out of the closet stop crying get dressed and come to dinner this is where Whitney cries in the bathroom and then comes out with the toilet paper on her shoe and it's just like her confessionals are so cocky and then they're ju opposed with the scenes of her crying and being so weak and a victim so it's just clear that she's portraying something different than what she really is right let's take a quick break here and we'll come back for episode five okay so episode five is called the book of broken vows and the episode starts with the girls going to get sodas at the shop again posting the clip to my Instagram I'm obsessed with their orders I love all of their soda orders I want to go to one of those Swig shops so bad I'm going to go to Utah just to go to one it's Jesse Demi and Leila going there and I love that little group they're starting to call themselves again the Saints and the Sinners and so this is the cner group getting together love them they're Ling about Whitney leaving the group chat after this huge thing that happens at the girls trip in Park City Whitney leaves the group chat it's very clear it's for sympathy and again for likes and for clout and it's just like the RSV video like she just does things for public opinion and this is a true warning and let this all be a warning to all about the dangers of social media so Macy again is a textbook pisy she's also very optimistic thinking that Whitney can just come back and move forward from this she's like yeah this is gonna be fine like everything's fine and it's like no girl things are on fire behind you then Taylor and Dakota they come over to Jen's house and to see Jen and Zach and they're getting ready to have this baby they're like we need to make sure this man can change a baby diaper like let's have him over to Zach and jens's now I have to say Zach seems like a good enough dad I mean I think Jen does say she wants him to help more but it's not like his kids are like afraid of him and stuff like you know he looks like he's like a decent dad or whatever knows how to change a diaper at least and they do this whole scene and it just again makes me so scared of Zach like Jen is like they walk in and Taylor is like wow is your house always this clean and Jen is pretty much like yeah if it's not like Zach's not very happy it's like every single thing it's like not even a shocker anymore that Zach is OCD like great yep everything has to be his way in this episode Leila goes to get a tattoo and again this is controversial they're not really allowed and then later um there's a part where in Macy's baby mommy baby mama launch event Michaela comments on how there's a tattoo artist there and she's like oo this is a little controversial that like there's a tattoo person here she's like I would never get one but like I guess if other people want to do it that's okay so people are really judgy about the tattoos out there still I thought that even you know okay my body is a temple I get it I get it I guess so okay so the girls go to the paint room and this is again another controversial pivotal moment because they go on to do this thing they do not invite Whitney because again Whitney left the group chat and the Jesse's like well literally how do we invite her if she's not in the group chat like they're not getting that like I guess someone could call her production's not like hey you have to call her and invite her like they just basically just ignore her which is kind of funny and then she sees them post on social media and she's like Connor she's home you know making cookies with Connor and she's like what the hell they're all like at paint without me and he's like yeah but didn't you leave the group chat it's like yeah like everybody around her is able to to realize like you if you didn't leave the group chat they probably would have invited you and you'd be there you're causing issues so okay it's just a lot for the Whitney but you know they're they're in the room and they're all talking [ __ ] about her and they're like she's just going on and on about how she doesn't care about whether she's friends to everybody she doesn't care about what Taylor did she doesn't care if anybody doesn't like her or not don't care if people you know because of the rumors or whatever they don't she doesn't care people understand her she's just doing her and it's not true she actually cares the most and like she's so insecure she's totally faking it and it's so obvious and they she's just saying like Okay anyone who doesn't accept me the way I am like then fine just like don't be friends with me and that's that part in that fight that Whitney and Taylor had in Park City was she's like okay that's fine like she basically was like I don't regret anything I did this is who I am like if you think I'm a shitty friend then just don't be friends with me and then all of the girls are like yeah you're being a really shitty friend it's like I'm not going to be friends with you and then she's like well holy crap no one's being friends with me and it's like she's not getting that she's causing it and that's called not being self-aware so we love a not an unself-aware Queen on our villains so the paint party is Big it's kind of when Whitney realizes the girls are not going to call in and check on her and she starts to like really separate herself and like kind of quit the show from that point on now Macy starts to do this baby mama photo shoot because she's doing the launch of these natal vitamins and stuff that she created which the story was so Random did you hear her say like I named it Baby Mama because I was hearing the story about this transgendered CLE couple that was using IVF and I just decided and I was like oh that's like your baby mama and it's like but it's not though and that's interesting that you got it wrong and then now your whole company's based off of it but but hey the vitamins I'm sure are great so it's just really funny that this happened so Macy does this photo shoot though and they're like oh we'll have Taylor be a model cuz she's pregnant she's gorgeous and whatever so she comes in and she brings Dakota to the photo shoot which first of all it's like if you were the girl doing this event and you're you know the man was brought now I'm sure the excuse was like I didn't have child care because Taylor's child is there too and she's like I had to bring Dakota but then also it's a very clear production set them up to have a controversial moment where Dakota came because he heard Macy's been talking [ __ ] and all these rumors are stting to swirl about whether or not Dakota had been cheating on Taylor in the beginning of their relationship and Macy has tea and things are starting to come out about Dakota and production is really pushing to try to get these rumors about Dakota to come out on camera but Macy doesn't want to do it because Taylor is pregnant and she doesn't want to cause problems with Taylor and she just like wants them to figure it out on their own so there's this kind of fight between Macy production and Taylor and Dakota that's like it's like all the Spider-Man like pointing at each other like are you going to bring the rumors are you going to bring up the rumors are you going to bring up the rumors like who's going to bring up the rumors and finally the rumors start to all come to a head and it's really starts to send Taylor into more of a spiral of her being like I can't believe I'm going to have a baby with this guy I can't marry this guy like he he totally like I have I can't trust him like there's so many problems in this relationship reminds me a lot again of Carl and and Lindsay it's like what are you doing together you are so incompatible so the fact that Dakota comes and then again I really want to blame this on production I cannot say that this would be his idea but all of a sudden he takes this man takes his shirt off and starts taking unsolicited maternity photos with Taylor during this photo shoot he is not part of this baby mama stuff he's not even supposed to be there and now he's getting free maternity photos that are giving me the ick so that was so weird go to the next scene it's Leila's divorce party not happened there this was one of the pleer parties it's kind of just to get to know Ila better not not a lot of drama happens except for the fact that Whitney makes her first like comeback entrance after leaving the group chat she shows up at Leela's divorce party and it's awkward again nobody's checking on her and she's like what the hell it's like yeah girl they don't like you so Whitney tries to pull Jesse and is like you're said okay for you to run your mouth like Jesse's telling Whitney it's not okay for you to run your mouth to all of us you're causing drama and then Whitney immediately changes the subject and is like yeah but no one's checked on me since I left the chat it's like we're not talking about that we're not check we're not checking in on you because of your behavior of you running your mouth before you left the group chat you can't it's like it's like doing something new and then being like only addressing the newest thing instead of going back to the thing that happened before it's like the news cycle it's like putting new news out so that the old news will get buried not going to happen Jesse is just like not having it I love Jesse now Whitney ALS also is like in her confessional after this fight with Jesse and she's like I guess I just have a totally different perspective of what happened and that is her way of basically rationalizing with herself being able to excuse herself from being wrong and apologizing is just to be like well I just see things differently this is just my truth I hate when people say that this is my truth so then Taylor has Macy over to talk about Dakota after this like things are again Productions really pushing to get these rumors out or getting towards the end of filming here like we probably have a couple weeks left we got to get these rumors out before this baby's born we got to know so Macy is a queen for calling all of the men out about being untruthful being dead beats being pieces of [ __ ] being too traditional all the stuff instead of just enabling she's like the one wife and you know it seems like this just not enabling the men um which is very very refreshing again in the friend group Jesse too I guess is kind of giving that all the other girls seem pretty like what's the word typical gender roles but um when Taylor has Macy over to talk to Dakota production has Macy over to talk to Dakota it really just ends up being a fight with Taylor and Dakota again and the rest of the next three episodes Taylor is fighting with Dakota every second until this baby is born it's quite sad so we go into episode six it's called The Book of sin and this is where Jesse invites girls over to do the [ __ ] painting because she's getting the labia plasty which again I I really tip my hat to Jesse like she is so open and honest she totally admitted that her [ __ ] is just jacked up I don't I don't know if I could be that strong but she is a really good reality TV star they did so good with her really impressed with all of the girls they all seem to be pretty open and honest even Michaela talking about having stomach issues and like [ __ ] all the time I was like I was not expecting that from Little Michaela okay okay Jesse's got meat curtains Demi loves Fruity Pebbles like these girls are scandalous so Taylor tells her problem medc mom lean that Dakota's been [ __ ] up and they've been fighting every day and that he wants her to surrender to him and get married and just like do the damn thing and lean's like you should just prank call him right now and tell them that you're pregnant this woman is psychopathic you don't call somebody and fake that you're in labor and even Taylor or even Dakota is like what the [ __ ] it's so funny because Taylor's kind of like the I know it's like a unisx name but I keep thinking Taylor is the guy in Dakota is the girl in this relationship which I think a lot of people have been struggling so is a manace to society they call Dakota they're just basically like you guys got to get your [ __ ] together for this baby comes and then this is where Whitney's basically like Mia and kind of again quits the show and then the show is like we need to Pivot because we don't have our villain anymore so production is like what other things are going on we need to lean into the Taylor and Dakota drama and we need need to lean into the Zach and Jen drama and we need to lean into the men the men are bringing the drama so all the girls are pecking for this trip to go to Vegas which again it was introduced to them basically as a birthday trip for Leila but I think it just happened to be with production shooting that it was like it was Lea's birthday and that they were like okay where can we take these people on a cast trip close enough where Taylor can come because she can't fly um it's a six- hour drive I looked it up from Salt Lake City to Vegas so they get in the car Zach Jen Dakota and Taylor but again not after they were like three hours late to leave because Taylor and Dakota were fighting these people I know couples like this that you're waiting for four hours because they're in the room fighting absolutely not so they're fighting whatever and then Dakota gives the creepiest hug to can I give you a hug that was very reminiscent of the Carl hug very a lot of crossovers in my brain here so they're going to Vegas this is a big trip for all the girls it's obviously a trip to try to get them to do some scandalous things for the show and kind of end the grand grand finale of the show let's see what we can mix up here now again because Taylor is So Pregnant Dakota weasles his way into this episode and is like I have to come with my pregnant girlfriend I'm going to Vegas and then they're like okay well we need somebody else to come and drive and do this I don't even know if Dakota has a license I've never seen him drive a car then they get Zach to come to Vegas with Jen and then this is where all the girls start packing for this trip and things start to come out they're packing and Demi and Brett are hilarious I kind of love them Brett is like giving her Mormon outfits to wear while she's in Vegas and it was kind of a funny cute scene things I've read online that are like Brett's a little bit of a freak and he's been married three times now so again one of them was Angie and Angie doesn't seem like a prude so yeah older man teaching his younger girl a lot of things I think that's called grooming but you know it wasn't underage when they met actually it was underage because I think that she was nine oh my God she was nine when she met Brett so God bless I can't even really go down that right now so Brett and Demi are hilarious they're packing and then they go over to Zach and Jen and they're packing and Zach is a menace again he is showing her his lucky poker hoodie he's like if I zip it up here you can't see when my veins popping out when I got a good hand and you're gonna give me a bank roll right babe and she's like oh my God but yes if you lose it I'm G to kill you and like it's just a really messed up power dynamic in that house with Jen being the bread winner and giving him money to go gamble that's clear enabling why is it okay for Zach to gamble when it's clearly not part of being Mormon and he's very devout and won't let her not even wear her garments like it's so hypocritical and everybody's calling it out too they're like Zach is a [ __ ] weirdo and he's a full-on addict gambling addict so the moment I left my body was when Jen was going I know that Zach is a gambling addict I know that Zach is a narcissist but no one has ever loved me more than Zach spoken like a true brainwashed cult member handmade I mean Jen saying that rocked me to my core she might have she was 18 like how do you say no one's loved you more than that you didn't even know anybody before that it's just yeah of course no one can love you more because you don't know anyone else that's like of course that's like um what is it when you make something true because it's like the only option a self-fulfilling prophecy I can't if I have notes you guys I'm like really I really killed it on this episode I hope you're still with me here we're we're making it through you guys we're in episode six okay they're going to Vegas Zach is a menace Dakota is coming he says Dakota says I have to come my biggest problem is that I care too much sigh and then everybody hates Zach everybody's talking [ __ ] everyone's like no manal loud they put the Leia's only sign on the door which everybody ignores and then this is again when things start to really ramp up with production trying to get Macy to tell Taylor the Dakota cheating rumors and then they're like okay what are we going to do when we're here in Vegas like they're all on the Airbnb like the guys have left and then Jenna is like or Jesse's like get ready because we are going out and so the girls get ready they don't know where they're going and then it is revealed to them that they're going to Chip and Dales and Jen loses it she immediately knows that this man told me when we were packing the other day that I better be ready to be a single mother if I do anything Chi and Dales or magic mic related so she was already given a warning she didn't tell the girls I cannot go cuz he specifically told me that she can't tell them because then they'll be like that's insane so she just kind of goes along with it until it goes on too long and then she has to confess to Zach and that's where we pick up in episode seven so episode seven is called the book of trust they're all at Chip and Dales they're backstage they're oiling the guys up really the only guys like I think Leila and Jesse were the only ones that touched guys and then they took a group picture like it was so innocent they're sitting in the club the show hasn't even started there's no one else in there that's as far as this goes before Taylor decides to leave because Dakota's pissed now too again production I think said okay it's great that this is a surprise that like someone needs to tell the guys that you that you're going that we have drama otherwise this is just going to be a fun girls night which is great but they wanted the drama production was working very hard here and they said Taylor you text Dakota tell him you're here cuz then you know that he will tell Zach and Zach will tell Jen and it will all swirl it's exactly why I happened Zach starts to flip the F out on Jen telling her I want a divorce I don't love you anymore you're a POS you're worthless and this goes on until 2 o'clock in the morning which I think at this is like eight probably it started at 8 o'clock all the way till 2 in the morning now it's in six hours of this Jen finally leaves cameras are down production is done for the night she gets in a c in a taxi and she goes to find Zach and they talk all night to resolve things all of the girls are like what the actual [ __ ] this guy is the devil so Demi and Jesse specifically are like and Macy too are like we've had abuse of exes we're not standing for this this is not what mom talk is for we do not allow this and enable this we're not going to allow this to be portrayed on the show is something that we put up with this goes against our whole brand they're pissed too they don't want Jen to be in mom talk probably if she's going to be like this because this is not a good look for all of the girls this is supposed to be about female empowerment so this has been going on all night they go to Me Demi immediately is like you guys this is unnecessary drama and it's unfair but like okay you can leave if you want to Taylor leaves you know the girl the rest of the girls stay for the CHP and Dale show they all go back and then they're kind of dealing with the aftermath the next morning trying to figure out like first of all where is Jen she left without telling them where she was going and she never came back so they're worried about Zach like literally killing her and burying her body in the desert and then they're also just worried about her wellbe in general they do love Jen but they finally get a hold of her they're calling calling calling calling and then she picks up and the first thing I wrote it down here cuz I was like I need to know the direct quote the direct quote from Jen when she calls she says hi oh my gosh things are so great it was honestly so needed it's like it needed to happen you needed to get berid you needed to be told that you were worthless you needed to be threatened with divorce you needed to have your kids taken away from you you needed that you honestly you thought you honestly that needed to happen Okay this is bad guys this is bad guys I've been there I've been there it's really really sad you know I'm also realizing that Dakota is fighting a lot with Taylor he's 31 she's 24 there's a lot of big age gaps in this group and it it shows it shows a lot of miscommunication and a lot of nonfrontal lobe development so they get at least they get Dakota to show up though and make up with Taylor on camera they're laying in bed at the Airbnb Macy's in the hallway with Michaela EES dropping trying to find out what the hell's going on with them and then that's when the alarm goes off from production to remind Macy you better go tell her about these rumors and she still is like I do not want to put this girl into labor I'm not telling her so they're still dragging this out even though again filming is about to wrap and we got to get these rumors on camera so when Jen comes finally to meet up with the girls they really try to do an intervention with her they're like we're not going to let you do this we're not going to let you go back you have to start this out we have to find out what's going on here but eventually she cries to get out of it which is another I've been there just cry and break down and then nobody will ask questions and they'll just feel bad and they'll be okay let's just let up on her so unfortunately Zach dragged them all into this drama and um Jesse also brings up the point that he not only went after Jen but he went after every single one of the relationships talking [ __ ] in text and they have proof of all of it and they're not happy with what was said about all of them so you know he's like oh Jesse's trash for doing this demy's trash for doing that like he's judge very judgmental against all the women it's just very clear that Zach did not want to be Associated but that Jen was like listen I'm the brother Warner I'm the one making money you blew all the money that your parents gave you for medical school I'm doing the show so then this finally leads us into the last episode again we're going in with a lot of Cliffhangers at the end here Taylor is miserable they open to her just crying that she's having the baby with Dakota setting into her that this baby is coming her and Taylor aren't doing any better they're fighting more than ever and it's you know it's clear that she's like okay I'm accepting that this man is going to be my baby dad but like I don't want to be with him she's she's distraught and hopefully she will eventually learn not to tell her mom all the drama until maybe can find in her friends and some other people that aren't going to you know make things worse because her mom is what we call like a force multiplier so anything you tell her is just going to make things like worse or better so Taylor's confronting Dakota about the DMS finally that Macy has finally told her I got a DM heard Taylor or I heard Dakota was cheating on you before you guys you know were made it official and um I think the other unspoken part is that maybe she was already pregnant and that he was still sleeping around and that's why it's like extra hurtful so even though he denies it up and down which is obviously a lie he actually says it like this he goes 100% I didn't do that and he looks down to the left and I don't know if you guys remember from Scandal and some other True Crime things like looking down to the left is usually a Telltale sign of somebody lying he looks looking down to the left hard when he said it's 100% not true so I do think that he slept with this Jenner girl in the time that Taylor was pregnant so speaking of being pregnant Whitney is getting kicked off the show at this point she's refusing to film but surpris she's pregnant with Connor's third baby and she pees on a stick and puts the peas stick in the cake and gives it to her family and I was just like disassociating I think it's like a last minute attempt I hope it was either to save her marriage to save her spot on the show something to stay relevant or maybe she wanted three kids Jen and Zach sit down on the couch and I remember they're back from Vegas all this drama's gone on everybody in [ __ ] Utah hates this guy and now she's got to sit down and she's like you know what me and Zach have been praying a lot we're getting back to a good place and she's like I see the potential and to me I get it I know what she's saying the potential is I see that this guy's going to be a heart surgeon he's from a rich family distant cousins to the Affleck and that's the potential the potential is a lifelong life of you know what you're getting stability stability and also like some people want to be in that she probably wants to be high ranking Mormon in Salt Lake City Society so that's what she's going to get she's prioritizing that and that all comes from her revealing that she was actually homeless in high school and that her mom as you guys might remember is actually a cleaning lady at the hospital that his dad is a heart surgeon at yeah it's really hard you guys like I see that Jen knows that this is her ticket she is only 24 years old so like I think she will figure out as she gets older that it doesn't matter but at the time right now it matters like this is her this is her stability so she needs this and she doesn't want to have a broken home and be homeless again um I think she knows if something were to happen Zach would probably take every penny from her he' probably take the kids from her and she would be in that car living again and she cannot have it so she says that when he got into med school like you know that this was what their dream was and she was going to support him and everything but I again cannot find anything that he's actually going that she is supporting him I mean she basically explains to him too like I I know you want to go to med school but like what about me and what about my livelihood because I want to be able to continue to make my own money and he's he literally says verbatim I don't really care I'm defeated at this point then Taylor gives birth says it was like the happiest moment of the relationship which I agree but little ever true praying for you buddy Michaela's birthday is the finale party it's the last thing like I said everybody got to throw a party this season michela's birthday is it this is again Whitney's last attempt to have a big a big moment showing up unexpected having everybody turn oh my God is that when need is she here and nobody cares again though nobody goes to ask her how she is no one ask goes to ask why she's there after about 10 minutes she's like okay I guess I'll go actually try to talk to Michaela Michaela's also like I don't care she's like oh I brought you a gift she's like I don't care there's just a lot of I don't I don't GAF or what do they call ID Gaff Behavior going on like no one is giving a [ __ ] that she's there and so she's like okay I guess I'm gonna leave and then she leaves and I think her plan was to come there and she was wearing this big trench coat and I imagine underneath there there was something like painted on her belly some kind of shirt that said she was pregnant like I think she was going to try to do a reveal but when nobody cared and not even Macy was like giving her the time of day really then it just became apparent that she was like I better just go and she left and supposedly she quit the show but she's doing all the promo and there's I'm sure that will change she she's going to be postpartum when they're filming I don't know we're going to have to wait and see what happens um Whitney has an IMDb page I think I talked a little bit about this earlier she's an aspiring actress she's been in a couple lowbudget in D films so I think she's willing to literally do anything to make a name for herself and then the final scene of the show is Macy driving in her car she calls Jenna the girl that Dakota supposedly slept with while he was pregnant with Taylor and Taylor says Whitney oh my God you can tell the girls now have all gotten to me you know Dakota you know sworn up and down that he did not cheat and that and Taylor has said that she would 1,000% leave even after the baby was born if she found out that Dakota had cheated so they're kind of teasing us of whether or not Taylor is going to actually leave Dakota but I don't think so you guys I think that they're going to stay together they're going to have to lean into some of this other drama and this other backstory for a season two and probably not rely so much on the tailor and Dakota of it all but yeah you guys I mean supposedly Whitney quits and that's really like the end of the show which is insane I've given some predictions throughout that I think what's going to happen next season we have to talk a lot about Macy and her backstory we have to talk I would like to like I don't know I'm interested to see I mean I'm watching the interviews going on I just listened to one yesterday that was MLA Jesse Leila like the girls I guess it's still kind of saints and sinners um Jen is doing a lot of the promo with Whitney which is interesting someone's got to do it someone's got to do it yeah you guys I'm going to stay on Zack Eck watch for you thanks for being here thanks for following and going around you know going along on this journey
