It's also fascinating how they are all the primary breadwinners for their families. This is clearly going to cause friction for some them -- you can already see it with Jenn and Zach. He wants to control the relationship, but you can see her thinking, "wait a minute buster, I'm making the money." It's just a matter of time before that boils over.

And then Taylor and Dakota. She got so upset being called white trash, but then as the show went on and you see their behavior, it's hard not to judge. Neither one of them should be having kids or getting married. They are both emotionally stunted. Does she have kids from her first marriage?

I also don't think they are all beautiful. They all have a LOT of fillers and wear a ton of makeup and have fake tans and highlights and extensions and I think a bunch of them have veneers. Basically if you do that to anyone they will look "Instagram pretty" which is different from being actually beautiful. I think all the interventions are helping some of them look above average and others I think would probably be a lot better looking without it.

I was curious about their finances so I looked up real estate in Herriman where they all seem to live and there's a ton of new builds there for pretty cheap. Like here's a 7 bed 4 bath new build for $725k: https://redf.in/2bVTXu

So that at least explains some of their finances. Cost of living is really cheap there compared to other places.

725k is NOT cheap. It's not cheap here in DMV and it's certainly not cheap there. That's a huge mortgage to carry.

Most UMC+ Mormons place a high priority on young women getting college degrees, especially Gen X parents and younger. But these women are raking in much more money than your typical college-educated twenty-something!

And ya, Taylor and Dakota - hard to call them white trash. She has two kids from her first marriage. The domestic violence seen - the real reason she went to jail is because she inadvertently hit one of her kids with a chair that night (she was aiming for Dakota), and the kid had a big bump on his head when the police showed up. I don't mind trashy reality TV, but watching Taylor screw up her and her family's lives hurts my heart - not sure I can keep going.

I understand the concept in theory, but not in execution. Swig, for example, is known for soda and frosted sugar cookies. That’s such an unappealing combo to me.

Yes they are all beautiful, but they are also in their 20s. It feels insane to see 21-22 year olds with multiple kids in nice big homes.

Even though Taylor has made the most mistakes, she's the most honest. I wish they would have given more back story for us old moms who did not follow momtok.

Whitney is insufferable. Who the hell puts a positive pregnancy test in a cake? GROSS

Jenn is on her way to divorce.

Mikayla Matthews looked sick. So I looked her up and she does have a chronic illness. They should have had that storyline as well.
