Seriously, it is all so implausible that you just have to take it like a comedy. I do enjoy it though, and then reading the recaps in:

BTW anyone knows what BAM is really up to? I know he was dating someone who worked in the show, Alison, so I guess he's with her. Do they work together now or something, in tv crews?
I missed your post Cornelia. I thought I had been checking here regularly, but I guess not.
But yes, there's more bullshit in this show than at all the cattle ranches in Texas combined. The only other “reality show” that I can think of that was even more over the top than this one was Amish Mafia.
That's pretty much been the MO after every episode. Head over to IMDB (which we can no longer do) or Railing Kills site, and have at it. Realityobserver usually does a recap for us here at the board, and now at his blog. Hope it makes it another season 😀
With regards to Bam, I'm not sure if anyone knows, but he's probably just taking a hiatus from his work routine to live his real life. I actually think that he will be back, as long as the checks keep coming.
I'll have to check that blog out!
Yes so much BS in the show. Everyday it turns more and more into a funny 'mockumentary'.
My BS radar is also on high alert when I watch Alaskan: The Last Frontier.
As for ABP, I wish Rain ran off with a 25 year old married father of two kids, a real drifter....it would be karma for the hell they put Ami's family through. The production company would probably love it though, so they could do a new spin off show. Imagine if all the 'kids' married and each had their on spin off show....they would be laughing until the cows came home. Trust me, sooner or later, one of them kids will get a spin off show...maybe Matt.
He posted his recaps at IMDB all the time Cornelia, but his blog is brand new, so I don't how much he's posted there yet. But he did post a recap at the site below:
Previously TV
Alaska, The Last Frontier; that's right, the Kilcher family. I don't actually watch that one, but yeah, I'm pretty sure it's another steaming truckload of horsey puck 😀 Kind of hard to picture someone as struggling too hard when their relative is millionaire country singer/songwriter Jewel.
I'll bet you're right on the spin offs. Well, it will only be more fodder for further comedic relief.
I must confess Cornelia that I actually like this show. I just don't take it seriously and treat it like I would any other fictional sitcom about Alaska, such as Northern Exposure, or Men in Trees 😎
I watch it because it's so bad it's funny.
Amish Mafia is another bad one but the worst of all was Clash of the Ozarks. That was so bad even Discovery pulled the plug on that one after only a couple of episodes.
Amish mafia makes me feel bad about myself, I feel more Amish than Amish people.
I'm like; "how square am I??"
