Jo interviews that he took care of John and that he doesn’t want to discuss it. I’m getting really sick of all these reality stars doing stuff and then not wanting to talk about it. Really? You signed up for the show. It’s like when those dumb teen mom girls whine and complain about not having any privacy, yet they weren’t complaining when they were getting $50,000 checks per episode.
John sneaks out from the hut and goes on the run to Ohio. Say hi to Cathy for me! Moooooo. So now that John’s in Ohio he comes up with this brilliant plan to work for Merlin! Good lord almighty, I am so done. He calls up Esther in her puke green dress to tell her that he’s gone like the Flash. Now we see Merlin in his orange and blue shirts. Stacey, Clinton? Where are youuuuu!
We welcome you to FREE VIVI!
We haven’t seen Alan in a while, so let’s treat ourselves to a little interview with Levi talking about Alan. NEXT! Now, Merlin and John Boy are at some decrepit trailer in the middle of the woods that looks like it came straight out of West Virginia. They play chess for a bit and I hate chess. Back in Lancaster, Esther rolls up on her scooter to talk to Levi and he looks thrilled that she’s there. He wants to know where John is and she refuses to tell him. Her brother doesn’t work for you anymore, got that!
As if we didn’t get enough Esther within the first 10 minutes of this episode, she now has shown up with Jo to learn how to shoot guns. How pathetic. She’s that stereotypical giggling girl. They shoot some for while and Esther seems to have conveniently forgotten that the Amish aren’t supposed to have guns. Hey, but at least you’re wearing your head covering. After shooting guns for a while they sit down to talk and Esther tries to convince Jo to leave the Mafia.
You look ridiculous.
Back in Ohio, Merlin is explaining something to John and of course he doesn’t understand the whole point of the conversation. He never does. I hate them both.
Jo leaves and we shoot over to him wanting to talk to Levi and Alvin. Jo says he doneski with all of these shenanigans and hops into his sweet ass truck to drive away. SEE YA.
MOOOOO, Ohio again, blurred out faces and Merlin’s band Of Merry Losers come to initiate John. When I was in a sorority I was initiated, but we didn’t read out of the Bible. Nor did it take place in a field. Fun fact.
TIME FOR THE FAIR. Goody gum drops, it’s like I’m a kid again, except with tons of Amish scripted drama.
Esther rolls up to the fair with a blurred out friend. They walk up to a bull pen and decide to ride the mechanical bull. Esther is trying way to hard to be wild. Stop it.
TAKE MY PICTURE, I TOTES GOT TO TWEET THIS

AshMash, that was Levi’s car they were taking the Ax too…
That Tell All was a bunch of bs! Lets just sit you all down in random places and ask you a bunch of questions that you won’t answer. Shoot, I think it would have been better if they would have all been in 1 room and sat there and talked shit about each other…
Looking forward to the 2 hour special in March.
Nice waxed eyebrows there Esssther! Anyone else catch that?
Thanks for clearing that up thisbuggs! I thought Levi only had the caddy. And no fake Esther, I didn’t see that. Haha, thanks for pointing it out though!
@Faux Amish Esther,
Yeah, I was wondering why she didn’t get her neck hair taken care of too…
Thanks AshSmash! I read every recap and enjoyed them all. I hate this show so much that I can’t stop watching it. I am oddly attracted to Levi. Perhaps it is because he is always calm and I am not.
Take care, Robin
Hilarious article.
Love me some Alvin–strong silent type and all.
Might I suggest Esther get a few hours with Barb in the silo…
If they have a second season, I hope they exploit the scene setups that are waaay too much for the action that actually takes place:
Levi brings Esther to the quarry to….see the beat up/dead body of her brother?…no, to see a somewhat dinged buggy
Alvin and Jo lock up John in the silo to….beat the crap out of him?…no, to just leave him there
Levi come to the silo to confront John and….beats the crap out of him?….no, he just tells him how gosh darn mad he is and then lets him go
Jo goes to confront a guy that wronged Levi in a never-seen-before scene and…he breaks some legs or fingers?….no, he shoots up some watermellons
The producers tell Esther that they have a video of her with Merlin and it proves to be….a sex tape shot in night-vision mode….no, her flirting with the guy wearing non-Amish clothing
I’m telling you there’s comedy gold in here. I’m surprised SNL hasn’t jumped on it yet.
PS – Thanks for the wild (buggy) ride AshSmash!
Most younger viewers wouldn’t catch it, but another giveaway that Esther is not Amish is her vocal fry, or creaky voice. Only young dumbed-down American women who worship bimbo divas and actresses talk like that. Notice how at the end of almost every sentence, Esther creaks like one of those obnoxious ghosts from The Grudge. It’s like freaking finger nails on a chalkboard. Whoever started vocal fry should be banished to Antarctica.
That would just be cruel to the penguins.
Right now there is a 2 hour episode on-The Book of Merlin….it is basically when Esther takes Levi to the beach…
Ash–maybe Jolin Zimmerman does read.
@JimmyT,
I agree with all your points and most of them are why I keep watching this.
Do you know how awful it is for an Amish guy to be locked in a silo without a barnyard pal to keep him company? How terrifying it was for Esther to see the family buggy and the idea she would have to whore around on a scooter? How much the producers had to pay someone to shoot up their watermelon patch? How extremely sad John must have been when..nah that kid is nuts..
I like this show and I don’t know why
TC, Robin
I couldn’t figure out what Jolin was trying to shoot at – if he was going for the melons, he certainly isn’t a great shot because it looked like there were more bullets hitting the ground than the melons. I thought maybe he was making more holes for seeds.
@Baba,
Not only that, have you noticed that she wears flip flops? Amish women don’t show their feet.
The least she could do is cover them with a couple of those “protective” bonnets to protect us from having to look at those gnarly things. I think protective covering shouldn’t just protect the wearer.
@Robin
I’m right there with you. I-can’t-look-away.
I discovered the show during a mini marathon right after Christmas and saw pretty much the whole show minus the last couple of episodes in one sitting. I hope they come back, especially now that they’ve got that weird-looking guy that reminds me of Jaws from the old James Bond movies filling in for John in Levi’s posse.
AshSmash- you’re the bestest!!! Thanks for the awesome recap and the shoutout…I am still laughing. I love the “hiding behind the computer screen” shot. LOL This show has been hilarious from start to finish and your recaps have just made it even more enjoyable. I watch the reruns of the shows and then think about your recaps while I watch them…they just make it all even better! My Little Pony Lover’s Club…..Love that one. If these folks read any recaps of their show, I hope its yours. I can’t wait for the next season….maybe you can do something where we guess on the new story lines for the next season? That would be awesome!
This show was hilarious! I stumbled onto this gem while sick in bed with the flu and was too weak to change the chanel. I am soooo glad I’m wasn’t hallucinating about some dude tormenting a defenseless watermelon patch. Prior to that, I thought he was kinda hot. Oh well. This site is great – thanks for the recaps!
Can we get a cross over of gypsies vs the Amish? One nut-job tradition vs the other?
I was actually thinking about asking flip it if I could recap gypsy sisters. What do y’all think?
I for one would think that would be great AshSmash. Are we getting anymore gypsy shows?
##@$ THE AMISH WHAT A JOKE EVERY GROUP HAS THERE ASSHOLES AND THE AMISH HAVE GOT HUGE PROBLEMS A BUNCH OF 8TH GRADE NIMRODS ABUSING ONE ANOTHER FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT I LOVE IT RETARDS THAT JOHN GUY IS MISSIN CHROMOSOMES. MERLIN IS JUST A PIECE OF SHIT I ENJOY SEEING HIM SHUNNED
GET HIM LEVI. DIRECTORS WE NEED 1. A BARN FIGHT LEVI N MERLIN OR JOLIN N MERLIN LEVI MY KILL HIM COME ON 2.WERE EXPECTING TO SEE ALVIN TOSS THAT DISGUSTING MIDGET INTO SOME GREEN CORN. 3. EVERYONE INCLUDING JOHN GETS A POKE AT ESTER. MAYBE ALL AT ONCE. NOW THATS GOOD TV YOU ROTTEN FUCKS WRITTING THIS GARBAGE HAVE NOW GOT HOME WORK TO DO VIVA LEVI!!!
Labowner – Yes we are. This February TLC is having that Gypsy Sisters show. It’s got Nettie and Nellie and them other trashy girls. The jokes are already forming in my head! Just checked today and it’s a go. I’ll be back next month!
hmmm
“that weird-looking guy that reminds me of Jaws from the old James Bond movies filling in for John in Levi’s posse.”
I thought he was so adorable in the tell-nothing episode.
He was all “Everything Levi says I agree with, Levi is awesome, Levi is God and he created the all the heavens and all the earthsss….” I could not stop laughing and cooing.
There was just something so endearing about him.
Odd that Team Levi has a giant and Team Merlin has a shorty. I can think of a Biblical story line coming. I think Big Steve has (or might have) acromegaly, it’s a brain tumor on the pituitary and it’s not his fault. I don’t know if he does, but I just think that. Big Steve endears me!
Also, though the Amish usually only school through an 8th grade education, many test at 12th grade proficient level–they concentrate on the 3 R’s where government run public schools fill the kids with lots of social studies and other extras.
Also, for these Amish Mafia folks to claim they are not actors is so dumb: if you are pretending and PERFORMING \re-enactments\ you are acting. Just because you never said \I’m going to grow up and be an actor\ or you never went through formal acting classes/ school–it doesn’t mean you are not an actor now. So take it like a man, Jolin and find some balls while you’re at it…might be under your SAG card…oops
I love this show!!!
This show is just awful. And I cannot stop watching it. It’s like rubbernecking; can’t.stop.looking.
You amish are ridiculus a bunch of real scum bags. who allows a band of thugs in the church to run rufshod all over the hard working people your as bad as niggers.
chose butterfly you need to spread your wings and land on levis lap if you like him so much or get in on the up coming gang bang thats about to happen to Ester. ash mash your a whore. If you are really amish you will soon be shunned and living with that bozo merlin. Jt you dont like this show your just another vouyer who enjoys watching our beloved Jews ripe apart small cults like the amish with the lure of prime time stardom According to there book each and every one is going to HELL. Dont be mad i love it myself. Unfortunately the 15 min of fame is almost up! Watch that rotten fuck merlin pray after all the chips have been played haaaaa haaaaa haaaaaaa. I can hear the jews promisisng more money to the amish just one more episode we wont run any bad stuff guys. Well go ahead and tell it to the bishop when Hell comes a callin! Lancaster will never be the same.
Just imagine what would happen if the rotten gangsters from some of these intercitys would set up shop in Levi s or Merlins town What would happen yep bullet in the head gimmy the chicken melon and fine furnishing bitches. Haaaa haaaa fuck you merlin

Ther Devil
Oleeddie- Seriously??? Take your hate-mongering elsewhere, your racist fuck.
Ash I am so excited. Can’t wait to see crazy Nellie and company. And February is right around the corner……
chose butterfly you need to spread your wings and land on levis lap if you like him so much or get in on the up coming gang bang thats about to happen to Ester
Jesus save me, I can’t stop laughing.
Okay, well thank you for that bit of advice oleedie. I’ll take it under consideration.
Wow. That was, um, unexpected. Why the rage? How about a little civility?
Sorry guys; this statement from Oleedie just got to me.
“You amish are ridiculus a bunch of real scum bags. who allows a band of thugs in the church to run rufshod all over the hard working people your as bad as niggers.”
Right kels… the statement “You amish are ridiculus a bunch of real scum bags. who allows a band of thugs in the church to run rufshod all over the hard working people your as bad as niggers.”
PAY ATTENTION OLEEDIE! They are not part of the church, they have never been baptized in the church, hence they can rumspringa forever and are still accepted in the community. There are many many who have not been baptized and that is WHY an Amish Mafia is essential–the bishop can’t touch them! But, the Amish Mafia can. These are re-enactments. get it oleedie? The Amish do not pay Social Security insurance, the Amish Aid takes care of them: meet the Amish Mafia!
I love this show. love it love it love love love it!
Team Levi or Team Merlin?
Okay who let oleo eddie in ?

AshSmash!! Me gusta todo lo que escribe!!! ( I think I said it right) I am Team Alvin with the Amish bowl cut!
I can’t wait until the March 2 hour special of Amish Mafia.
I seriously can’t stop laughing.
Where did he even come from?!?!
And why is he so obsessed with fucking Esther?
Alvin’s bowl cut is everything I need to survive and more.
I can’t wait to see the new mysterious gangster they’re teasing us with on the preview for March’s episode.
@Tracy- I think it might be oleeddie!
He’ll be easy to spot with his klan hoodie. ((Shudders at the thought))
I just saw a $49.00 t-shirt on ebay for AMISH MAFIA HUT PARTY June 16, 2012 Lancaster PA
I truly had no idea that you could deflate someone’s ego through their ass. Always nice to learn new things.
OK y’all have to stop making me laugh out loud at work (kels!) I cannot possibly explain to them why I’m laughing and thereby admit to watching Amish Mafia!
Holy shit – when does these people get their own reality show?
