   i have one bitchy comment to make. i HATE when people travel somewhere new and then eat at chain restaurants. seriously guys, you’re in cambridge and you’re going to fire and ice? there’s a million amazing restaurants in cambridge, you can literally eat any kind of food you’d want (i got tibetan take out with my friend who lives in cambridge last week, amazing). try something different people! anywho, looking forward to your kickass recap Baldy!

   I agree no cars go!! You’re in Boston – go to the North End and find a great hole in the wall restaurant and have some awesome food. Don’t go to something like Applebees for heavens sake~

   no cars/ jazzy– totally agree!! But, I’ll throw out there that it’s possible that those hole in the wall joints etc may not have been willing to sign the filming permits for the crew to come in and shoot while they dined. You’d be surprised how limited casts on reality shows are in terms of where they can actually go because of the cameras! That might not of been the case here, but I’ve seen it happen before!
   And thanks for the recap LB!!

   good point captain! i’m sure if someone came up to me and was like “hey can we film this tlc show about polygamy in your restaurant?” i would have been like, “get the f out.” i hope during some of their non-filming time they experienced something new.

   I would think the little places would be jumping up and down for the privilege. That’s a lot of publicity for free.

   TheMiki– true, but a lot of places will look at what show they’re being associated with and for some smaller, family joints especially, they may not want their name in with the Sisterwives. I.E. it’s much easier for The Real World to get filming permits than the Bad Girls Club haha!
   But hopefully when they weren’t filming they got a chance to explore outside of the chains!

   Also its a chain they dont have in NV or UT and chains generally are bigger. I am still laughing at how many times they worked the word “flippant” into one of the couch chat scenes. Once the first person (Janelle) said it, it was off to the races to work it into a sentence. I got the feeling none of them knew what it meant though because Christine was defiant to the LARPers but too intense to be called flippant.

   I have some friends who are outraged when I take my parents to a chain when they come visit me, or get angry when I eat at a chain when I go on vacation. Personally, when I am on vacation, mom and pop restaurants are a risk of whether I will like it or not and often have prices that exceed those of chains. If I eat at a chain I know what I like and I know the prices, I can stay on a budget and am guaranteed food that I like. I am not saying that I don’t try any new places when I go out to eat on vacation, but I don’t necessarily want every single meal to be a surprise.

   I had no idea the restaurant was a chain! I am quite well travelled (well, I like to think I am) and I have never heard of it. But I agree to those who say no to chains on vacay…that’s my philosophy, too.

   On another note, I think this was a great experience for the teens. I’m glad they were able to go and be inspired!

    When they were asking questions about “why not brother husbands?” I had to laugh thinking about that episode of Raising Hope with the brother husbands. But Meri and Jenelle are right – it’s hard putting up with one man’s crap much less 2, 3 or 4? I mean, DoucheDad has to put up with women’s crap but I have a feeling it is just crap from 1, 2, 3 but never with 4 – hard to give crap when your lips are stuck on someone’s butt.

    Also, when I was little and on vacation, we used to usually only go to chains like Bob Evans and Dennny’s because I knew where the bathrooms were and as my mom likes to tell people, I would go on the “Bathroom Tour of America” and if we were at a chain they would just send me by myself. Plus, we knew the food and knew we liked it. Nothing worse than being on vacation, going someplace unknown, blowing all your money and then not liking the food.

    @captain save-uh-hoe Maybe it was like the Bad Girls Club in New Orleans, where places started telling them they couldn’t come there even before they started!

    Just a couple of weeks ago the Browns went to this Mexican restaurant and the way they showed it, it looked like they just walked in with their party of 20 whatever people.

    We were all rolling eyes and discussing it here so I’m guessing it was getting discussed even more at TLC!

    @themiki Maybe the little places that would be hurt more by having to shut down to regular business for at least a day and TLC doesn’t to pay them enough to make up for that. And I guess promotional consideration stuff would be more valuable to a chain I guess.

    Oh and thanks for showing up in the other thread to explain that stuff! I wanted to ask you about another thing it seems like they want to sweep under the rug.

    Yes, I mean the Mormon L word!

    It’s the belief that anybody that’s not white is a Lamanite and our skin color is a curse because Laman killed somebody. Maybe his brother like Cain and Abel?

    Anyway in what’s the USA now, mostly in the western part, they’d go around and tell people if they’d give them their kids and let them turn them into Mormons that their kids skin would turn whitesome and delightsome.

    And then they’d put them in these schools where they beat them for speaking their regular language and praying etc and train them to do domestic work and sell them as slaves the same as all the other religions were doing.

    That they did that we know is absolutely true because there’s real old people that remember it happening.

    But the part I was hoping you’d explain is how some of the Lamanites ended up in Africa and Asia.

    Did they think it was the continents dividing?

    That’s where it gets confusing (at least to me) because some of those fundamentalist type religions that don’t believe in things like evolution and tectonic plates.

    I wish they would have showed more response to the brother husbands question. A much easier response would could have been, um well multiple husbands does not produce extra children so it’s doesn’t serve the same purpose as multiple baby makers. But instead they said “it’s just against our religion” cop-out! Anyway I love this family and it really has made me more excepting. I think they are normal people and I’m happy they get to live their lives in the open. I still don’t get why they had to move to Vegas though. It didn’t seem like a major ‘investigation’. Great recaps, crack me up every time.

    @kthnxbai “whitesome and delightsome”. Ha!
    I am going to use that on Ro (my boyfriend) next time he makes fun of my blinding white skin.

    @sheesh LOL I can’t claim credit. That’s actually the words the old timey Mormons used. You can google and read all about how they’d tell people that!

    Their belief was God would be so happy if the people’s kids turned into Mormons that he’d give them lighter skin as a reward.

    OMG Captain Save-Uh-Hoe – That is what we call one of my BEST FRIENDS! I thought you were him leaving comments here until I asked him and he said he definitely was the not the Captain I was looking for. I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE ARE TWO CAPTAIN-SAVE-UH-HOES! Is that from a movie, or are you both stuck in an endless cycle of dating insane women who don’t deserve you???
