Instead of Andy Cohen (sad sob) hosting this show, the producers off camera ask them questions. 

First Question: Why did you do the show?

Each person takes their turn, Esther, Levi, Jo, John Merlin, Steve and Alvin. They all claim that the reason they did this show was so they could show the real side into their community. Right, and the teen moms really did the MTV show to show people how “hard” teen pregnancy is. I’m sure it had nothing to do with a nice paycheck via Discovery Channel. 

Merlin does some interviews and shows how really crazy he is. I mean he is pure nuts. AND HE STILL WON’T BUY A FREAKIN’ NEW SHIRT. The cast also talks about how people don’t believe that they’re really amish and then out comes the book. *table flip* Apparently, there is this book that has all of the names of the amish people in them. Each person shows us their name in the book and let me tell you, I’m sold. That’s it. The internet is over you can all go home now. 

WELL THAT’S ALL THE PROOF I NEED

Esther’s Turn: 

We talk about how Esther has been sort of wild. Looking at Jolin, sneaking off with people. She says so what, she likes to have fun. She also says that she still has her morals. While she’s saying this, footage of her dressed like a skank is shown. I say she’s a slut who wants attention because she has daddy issues. Hey Esther, your boobs are showing. 

Can’t touch this. 

Jolin’s Turn:

Ladies and germs of the gasm, this had to have been the greatest interview of the night. Jo is talking about what people say about the show and how they don’t really know the real story and then he says IT. He goes, so what you people need to grow some balls instead of sitting behind your computer screen talking sh!t. I KNEW IT. Oh sweet, Fergie Claus MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME. When Jo was saying that, I felt like he was staring into my soul. I really wanted him to go cough cough, AshSmash. Do they read my recaps? Do dreams really do come true?

Hey Jo, if you read them, then comment on them. 

Back to the interviews, it’s all about the image. They all say they want to show the Amish in a good image. 

Producer Question: Did you like the way the show portrayed you?

You asked, they answered. Most of the time it was no. Levi thinks they mad him look dumb. Uh, well you acted dumb so. Sorry. Alvin says that there were moments when he told you (the producers) not to show something and they did it anyways. Jolin is mad because the cameramen were sneaky. YOU’RE ALL SNEAKY. They’re all mad when they would tell the cameras not to come in or to film them and they did it anyways. Like when they went to Ohio to get Merlin shunned and what not. Lawd half mercy, are we done yet? Whine whine whine.

    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.

    @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

    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.

    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.

    @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.

    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!

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!

    “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!!!

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.

    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!
