Reviews

This is a show about a hedonistic, narcissistic, self made rancher/farmer in northern Missouri and his 3/4 young adult sons (mostly just about the 3 oldest who work on the family land/business). They also show their new venture into opening a chain of carwash coffee shops.

I'm new in the reality tv world but have watched alot lately so I'm used to the train wrecks that often come. I just watched 7 episodes in a row so it kept me entertained or atleast coming back.

I enjoy the added bonus of this being about work and family dynamics more than just going out. I think the heart of everything is the family dynamics and just how big of a caution story the dad is! I'd love to hear what the ex says.

The dad at first has 2 woman and continuously says he has been open with them about not being exclusive etc they know he never wants that. He said Galyna knew about Brook but one scene was very evident she was aware he had a one time thing with her a year prior not a year long relationship. So no gold stars for being openly shady. Also Brook talking to his son about how she needs sex and to be touched. Trash. City.

The boys obviously have trauma from their parents relationship and while all of them have significant others, none are. Implement healthy relationships by any means. Jesse appears to be the best of them as far as potential cheating is concerned but still has commitment issues. Cole just needs to grow up he has a sweet beautiful girl who will surely be embarrassed by his behavior. And welll Steven I go back and forth on really.

The Nashville trip just soldified the dad's horridness. Yet another girl and I mean GIRL. No respect for his son's lives, using them as wingmen. It's terrible. Also anyone catch that he said he slept with galyna a week after they met? And she has worked for him for years? And he only got divorced a year and a half ago? And he was her boss?!?! Gross.

I actually think the show has potential if it shows the sons growing and learning from the trauma. I read ahead about the rest and sounds like the end was an interesting cliffhanger if there will be more.

Production value is good. Some pretty scenery. But obviously nothing to do near them they have to go out of state to have fun (Fort Worth, Montana, Nashville)

Show is a 6. Knocked down one over my disgust for the 51 year old man trolling for 20somethimgs while Galtba is home (I don't have the energy to start on her she is terribly manipulative as well).

I'm 20 min in. Wow. It's awful. A butterfly off?

All the good review is they have good chemistry. Well. Yea. They're engaged. And I love them both together and separately. She is definitely under utilized.

But you have 2 boats next door with butterfly releases?? And the socialite of the year is getting married in 3 weeks and just deciding on colors and flowers 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The fake butterflies are insane. It's all insane.

Washington to NY and yet his ex is fighting for him to get back to NY but she is in Washington?

Gosh this movie is ridiculous. Like so so bad of writing and storyline. The dad is the worst.

This fancy wedding in the civet of magazines is awful. And there aren't 1500 butterflies there. It's just. Bad.

I love that this movie had a different take in so much that the professions were different. I also really loved the history they gave on the Cherokee tribe.

I think Arielle Kebbel did great for about 99% of the move got a Hallmark outing. She is stunning and cute. She obviously was like I'm playing this as a ton boy and even her walk seemed a bit exaggerated to play the part. The male lead I didn't know but he was obviously second fiddle and played it pretty darn well. The side characters especially the Cherokee friend was great- I'd love to see him in more.

Costuming- some was spot on. A few almost distracted me from what was going on. Like they looked up archaeologist and saw a picture from 1980 and went with it for her and yet he was in jeans and a button down? And her shirt was always sliding off her shoulders. Just take it off. I do love they didn't try to do like cute clothes that would be unrealistic.

The scenery is obviously beautiful but script wise if I had to hear her say the Appalachian one more time...

I would have liked the story of the trail of tears to be more. Not the first 5 lines of Wikipedia.

Also she said they'd be moving too fast if they kissed and a few days later he proposes and they kiss for the first time? Leave it with him giving up on an opportunity to join her and call it a day. Come on now. She was there for a few weeks. He Carrie's that diamond around at all times? The end ugh'ed me

The only other part that annoyed me was she was telling the girl about why they broke up at the dog site. And then 15 min later she is telling her the same exact thing at lunch. And the finding of the jewel was so minute and seemed too easy. It's an impossible hike but he is running and fake hurts himself after a few minutes? Nah.

Overall I'd love to see her more often. I like the guy and I think he has some potential. The idea is solid. But the time could have been better spent.

So let me first start out by saying I'm a crier. Bladder too close to the eyes as my dad would say. I feel things very deeply. This was perfect. The only thing I wish would have been an ending of the elevator.

I have not cried that hard in years. It's beautiful, it's poignant, it cases self reflection. It was so beautifully done.

I will miss my friends. A lot of this season felt a bit just like filler so I didn't know what to expect but in the final episode everything gets just closed. Not full wrapping up. Not whole discussions. It just. Good. If that makes sense. More reflective of real life.

Overall it's not that bad. The concept is interesting as is the twist. But I am fully aware I must suspend all legal reality to watch this show, but this is so fully off base on every aspect of medical malpractice. Trial is completed a week after the death? Hahaha. More like 6 years. Asking someone at the same hospital to be an "expert". The doctor being arrested during a civil trial? It's utter ridiculousness hahaha.

Marcia Gay Harden overacts to extreme in this episode. It was kind of painful to watch.

Can we see more of this doctor who was the defendant? I like hm and te daughter (I like him in general on Hallmark stuff and a virgin river).

Now can we get Todd some romance please.

The ratings are totally reversed in my opinion. Nic's pen pal was far better than Sydney's Journey.

Overall it's a cute concept. But it also seems they don't talk all too much, but the one referred to the ladies as aunties to her kids. And yet they set up a video call when someone is in a love club emergency and not just regular daily friends. It's 2023. Where is the text chain? Sydney sends an email to say she needs them. And in both they all just drop everything for a week?

Nic: the inn is closed for remodel and yet, they are able to get there right away to stay? Even with lying about who they are. It's unrealistic. She is trying to get her business going and yet she spends all this money for a job she won't get paid for? And when an inn closes for remodels they aren't looking for someone to go in and swipe out the doilies and add s'mores and a charcuterie board to a "honeymoon suite" it's just silly. And he talks about what's in her letters. So wouldn't she ask if it wasn't you how'd you know what I wrote? Do you know what was written back? Woulda changed everything. Proper ending. I liked these characters.

Sydney- she had to pivot after getting hurt in college so she has a blog now. In the other episode it sounds kinda new. What else has she been doing for 10 years? Blogging is obviously a full time job but it didn't really seem like it here. This whole time they sounded like 3 years out of school not 10. Bryce broke up with her 4 times in college the last being just walking away on NYE. They couldn't be that serious to keep pining after him for a decade. And not seeing him in 10 years then all the sudden non stop. A doctor goes to a conference him and his hospital group of runners aren't staying in town for a week to do a half marathon. It's just stupid. February in Canada and they are wearing light jackets to run and a dress or jeans and a shirt? Hmmmm. Again the friends drop everything to stay with her while she trains to cook up this situation. And she hasn't run since she got hurt a decade ago? Bryce is a total tool. It's pretty bad. Just. No. Definitely should have like a 4 while Nic's story is a 6.

So, I've never been a huge fan or watched of the reality competition shows. I've seen maybe a couple episodes of some of them over the last what 25 years. I don't watch much reality tv in general with the exception of below deck (so Kate was the only one I really knew before watching). I decided to give it a shot and watched the entire thing with a few hour break for sleep. Some of the production was a bit much but that's to be expected.

I think it'd be interesting if we didn't know who the traitors were so the audience could watch clues and guess as well. When I know everything seems a tad more obvious.

There was a few surprises I didn't see coming, including in the last episode After the first episode when I knew who the traitors were I guess who would be the last traitor standing.

I liked the challenges, they were all pretty creative. The challenges were supposed to help them get to know each other and get clues into who the traitors are. The issue with this is that they all benefit from doing well on the challenges and banking more money. People thought Kate was the traitor because she threw a challenge, that means nothing. Traitor isn't about the persons actual personality. Everyone benefits from doing well so how does that help show who the traitors are. Like hey they were really good on team work so they aren't?! Please explain this to me.

I would change things about it but it's still entertaining.
